To thread the needle ... 4e has one of the best combat engines in any edition of DnD. It's where the game shines, IMO. But to say it lacks non-combat is also untrue, skill challenges actually provided a system that has been iterated on and used later on for managing social and exploratory...

Well, there's already errata. Mainly spelling and such, but expecting a book to be completely error-free is a big ask. Errata PDF: https://www.daggerheart.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Daggerheart-Errata-5-20-2025.pdf

That said ... there's no such thing as death saves, so in combat healing is important, can't wait for a PC to drop.

Great to see new content. Impressed that they're already iterating on the Brawler(ex-Fighter) and Warlock.

... As my username in other places is actually Dalek Kosh, I feel very seen. My general feedback on the Disney era of Doctor Who can best be described as "Aww, RTD is back on his usual naughty word (Complementary)" to "Oof, RTD is back on his usual naughty word (derogatory)". So I'm not really into...

Daggerheart is pretty hackable and such, so I can foresee a lot of potential products, depending on questions about the licensing. Campaign frames for sure, adventures and adversaries for DMs. Class design is fun in that it's modular. One can ... fill in the grid, so to speak, or add subclasses...

Daggerheart is the new hotness, and getting Perkins and Crawford will certainly help give Darrington some clout, but I highly doubt this is some threat to WotC or DnD as a brand. 5e will continue, as will DnD. Paizo and Pathfinder didn't kill it, I don't think Daggerheart and Darrington will...

Big news as two former WotC employees join Darrington ... Welcoming Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford to Our Team! – Darrington Press

There was a 3.5 starter set for players. It had a softcover PHB, a box of minis and a set of dice.

Which is kinda funny, because I've been thinking about an Artificer class, and the Relic domain, if renamed to Enchantment/Infusion/Artifice and flavoured as the Artificer enchanting/creating the item rather than tapping into the Relic's power gets you a lot of the way there. My own thought is...

Superman looks interesting. Hoping Fantastic Four will be good. I wasn't going to touch any more Jurassic Park, but Jonathan Bailey does look really hot in it.

I'm impressed to see Pullman and Moranis back ... but I'll admit to being nervous. I doubt the sequel can be good, but I'm willing to be proven wrong.

The licensing stuff is a little ... I'm gonna wait and let the dust settle and see if I can sift out the facts from the clickbait later. What I will say is the SRD is very complete and gave me enough confidence to actually buy the box set. So the value included is impressive.

So, I'm intrigued enough by Daggerheart that I'm considering running it. I'm thinking a KISS scenario/short campaign where the party is doing Robin Hood. They've been named outlaws, there's a corrupt Baron oppressing the local villages and they're the Merry People that are a thorn in the Baron's...

I have to disagree, Dedra's arc was quite narratively satisfying, it demonstrates that fascism destroys even its most ardent supporters. Dedra is shown to be a true believer. And despite that, Syril, her and Partagaz are crushed by the very system they support.

I've been a big fan of Popcorn initiative. I like how it allows some strategy and is more collaborative, I find set initiative causes players to check out when their turn is done. I now run 5e this way, and if ... when I play it, Daggerheart's lack of initiative is too loose for my players, will...

Well, I wasn't going to, but I bought Daggerheart.

There's interest among my friends to try out the system. Mind you, we've been in this "we should get together and play something" holding pattern for over a year so who knows if anything will come of it.

I'll watch whenever it becomes more broadly available. Looks fun, glad to see Clem Fandango get more work.

Timelord. The Doctor could, but chooses not to. Bugs Bunny is also a Timelord
