I'm hoping Matt and company take some time to familiarize themselves with the system before doing a longterm game. I think if they are going to switch it should really showcase why they (or anyone else) would choose it over D&D...

Yeah I'm honestly finding it hard to see how, other than less tactical/grid-based combat, this series is highlighting what makes Daggerheart stand out. No real collaboration and little if any narrative impact when hope or fear is rolled (other than passing out the meta-currency)... I've...

Have their been any examples in this AP of the type of worlbuilding collaboration that the actual rulebook seems to push pretty hard. I'm thinking I may just have overlooked or forgotten about it but are there examples of Matt asking his player collaborative worldbuilding questions during the...

This is another point that needs to be viewed with a grain of salt... The Avatar the Last Airbender ttrpg did gang busters in kickstarter sales and yet it's actual playerbase is nearly non existent. This is one of the issues with having a fandom that arent necessarily gamers or going to play...

Yeah im curious to see if Draw Steel & Cosmere end up with comparable hype and speculation.

Are you serious... Daggerheart is pretty upfront about the numerous wheels (mainly PbtA but also many others) it is reinventing. This post comes off like you trying to subtly insult those with different tastes than your own while simultaneously engaging in the same unwarranted hype and praise...

Yeah, it's been what... Just over 2 weeks since Daggerhearts full release... so 3 weeks of good sales and its suddenly a D&D killer... I really like the game but this all seems a little premature by at least a year or two, maybe even 10. Im also not so sure Daggerheart is actually outselling...

Ah ok, thanks...

Isn't the series only 6 episodes?

Maybe not... but deadly sure ain't bouncing back, healing up and getting back in the fight in an instant... if anything that's pulpy heroic action. It would have felt more deadly if they had passed out and possibly got the scar. Was it tense... sure, but the fiction didn't feel deadly at all...

Eh, if you say so... I think a Blaze of Glory would have driven home the deadlines of the world better than what actually took place.

I dont think Daggerheart is an inherently "deadly" system... though with the blaze of glory option it could be... the problem is (at least in advertising this campaign as deadly) CR players (like most) dont really want it to be deadly.

Because it was promoted by CR (Matt) as being a more deadly game...

I still feel like this is a choice. Nothing about rolling initiative forces you to be locked into combat. I think combat is fun for most players in D&D and Pathfinder and so once it's been initiated they rarely choose to end or leave it prematurely.

I ran a Shadowdark one shot with my group and I was surprised at how much I liked always on initiative outside of combat. It helped me to better keep my less assertive players involved in what was happening at the moment since it eliminated the ability to just kind of fade into the background...

So it's heroic fantasy and yet the very title of the article claims it's a grimdark campaign. Not to mention another poster earlier who in reply to one of my posts claimed Daggerheart wasn't heroic fantasy. But if you're saying it's heroic fantasy with different coats of paint... well cool I...

Dbl post

I didn't claim anyone was mad at D&D for anything... just finding it odd that D&D (at least on the surface) and those who like to homebrew it are often on these very boards criticized for trying to use D&D for multiple genres and styles of fantasy when Daggerheart is doing exactly the same thing...

Yes, so it's modifications to the base Daggerheart rules for a specific campaign setting... exactly the same thing done with 5e amidst cries of... there are better games for that genre/tone/style/etc. out of the box.

Soooo lack of play experience is the answer. Cool.
