I haven't watched the episode yet as I'm traveling, but I suspect that's possible. The cast has already played a lot of the system and during the launch party many of them noted they'd also been GMing it regularly.

I played in one the one shots over on startplaying. Found a great GM there who I might even be willing to pay to play with again if schedules can line up. He used Owlbear.rodeo and demiplane. There is no integration between these and owlbear lacks a duality die roller so we rolled on our own...

It's one of the campaign frames - a post apocalypse world where instead of magic there are remnants of 'super tech'.

Yep. this worry popped up on reddit yesterday too and my reply there was that if you absolutely insist on rolling a die to spread jam on your toast, the GM is free to turn around and make that jam a boss adversary ooze. Plus you'd be going against the spirit of the game insisting on rolls for...

Sure. Rip out the entire skill, spell, vancian (daily charges) magic, class, equipment list, magic items, monsters, and feat system and D&D can be reskinned... But.. that kind of makes my point.

Daggerheart has a 'lighter footprint' so is easy to reskin to different genres. D&D by the very existence of a skill system and spell slot system is NOT a very customizeable game unless you ignore how nothing fits the genre you're playing in. D&D is not 'heroic fantasy' in the least. D&D is...

The worst thing about the show being cancelled is that if someone ever does it again they won't start from where this show left off, they'll start all over again, we'll get just barely into the Dragon being active, and then it will be cancelled again.

Mapache - That's their Spanish name. Mapachtli - That's their Aztec name. I'd go with "Mapachtli" as it's one of the original names of the creatures. All I had to do was look on Wikipedia to find that. :) Which also considers "trash panda" to be a side-door synonym (trash panda redirects to...

It's not the number of metrics to track that matters, but the complexity of tracking them. If they work in a very consistent manner they get easy to track even with a lot of them. But if they're very inconsistent - each having it's own unique rules that don't seem to share the same design style...

Yes. I'd look for more reasons than just one before subscribing. I'm assuming it will be on YouTube in a few days.

OK yeah. It actually is refreshing to see people here on this site with an awareness of all thse other systems, and even more systems than I know (my references are all older systems, though clearly with gaps). I'd been under a thankfully incorrect impression that folks on ENworld were kind of...

Well if you DO want to see inspirations for Daggerheart in action. Not that you're required to :) - but CR has a pile of playtest liveplays on their YouTube and Beacon for Daggerheart. There was also one last night I believe, session 0 for the upcoming campaign; that I missed...

Sure but, that's doesn't take away from Daggerheart doing what it does and... well, many folk, self included, have never played or read or seen Fate. They have their inspirations listed and that's great. Maybe I'll look at some of those someday but that isn't here and now and I do not feel I...

Not directly but it does have the tools for them to talk that problem out and make a 4th option that is a mesh. Any group can do that, but Daggerheart explicitly intends that. Session 0 in Daggerheart isn't just make characters and talk safety tools, it is also where the PLAYERS make the...

FUDGE was also free. While that should have made it the seed that birthed the idea of OGL, I'm not sure if the OGL / WotC folks even knew FUDGE existed.

I like this guy's short breakdown:

I mean yeah... That's been par for the course for these things for ages.

It will vary by game group because some will make heavy use of it and others will use it as a token resource to be spent with little flair. It is supposed to be a guide for how the GM 'roleplays' the results of actions. You succeed with hope or with fear - in both cases you got a success. One...

Just as long as Daggerheart doesn't end up in the '99% o' players ain't heard o' dat either' list in a few months. It probably will... but it'd be nice if it didn't.

Heh. Yeah we're getting older. I can't paint the individual nose hairs on my 20mm dwarf mini with a regular brush and no magnifier anymore. ;) Those days are long gone. Don't make the screen scream at me. I'm with you there.
