This might be a controversial take here, but I actually think the starter set should not come with a dice set, but it should include a note about which dice to get. My local game store has this jar full of random dice, and you can either get individual die for like 50 cents(EDIT: inaccurate...

I'm not too familiar with WBN, but isn't D20 heavily edited? Maybe all the "boring" parts got cut out in the editing room.

After going through this thread and seeing the posts you made, I can see why. Like sure, you are free to post your opinion, but it feels like you are just dragging this thread to argue for argument's sake, seemingly without any interest in the main topic, which is the DND 2024 starter set. I...

I think we can talk about the ways in which the starter set can be improved. A number of folks mentioned that this isn't "perfect," but I don't think they necessarily shared what they think could be better (sorry if I missed it). For me, the $50 price tag seems a bit high, and would be...

I just watched Bob World Builder's video: It looks like a really good starter for beginners. I probably won't get it because I'm an experienced player. I get that $50 bucks is probably a good value for all that's in the box, but I also wonder if the cost could've been brought down by removing...

On Amazon, Daggerheart's current Best Seller Rank is 5330. This calculator estimates 625 sales per month for 5330.

Yeah, I am bummed about it too. My reaction to the trailer was, "I guess I'll give the first few episodes a shot." It's a big contrast with D20 trailers—the trailer for Cloudward Ho had a sense of fun and adventure. The direction Critical Role is going, reminds me of how all the superhero...

That's a pretty interesting idea. I think one way to approach this is to work backwards. What should the costs be by the time the character reaches level-20, then bring up the costs. I would want to make sure that A higher level spell must cost at least 1 point more than a lower level spell. A...

This is pretty neat. Not gonna lie, this makes me want to make cantrips cost 1 spell point just to make the pattern consistent. spell_level: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 spell_cost: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 13 cost-level: 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4 cost_jump: 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2

We get it, you don't like DND.

Thanks for all the responses! This is all starting to make sense—it's like a simplest progression that attempts to capture some power jumps that is consistent with the game's overall class progression model. After all, one could make the jump from level-2 to level-3 (+2) & jump from level-8 to...

I was looking at the Variant Spell Points section in the DMG (pg. 288). I believe I understand how it's suppose to work, but I don't really understand why the cost values are chosen this way. Here are the spell levels and their corresponding costs according to the DMG. (Included Cantrips as...

Do you know of any? I could use a recommendation :P

I couldn't have said it better. I spent the last or so looking at different RPGs & their resolution mechanics, and I've really come to appreciate the elegance & versatility of d20 checks. I think some games try a bit too hard to bake the "rpg best practices" or "storytelling" into the mechanics...

TLDR: Seemed interesting on paper, but had a hard time with rules & solo play. Still interested in playing with people one day, but likely won't try to run a game myself. DISCLAIMER: Please, for the love of god, I am not asking for help or an explanation. I read the rule book, I looked at their...

Appreciate the response! I want to emphasize that I'm responding because I enjoy the discussion, and not to be a pain in the ass. The comparison tags to nouns & statuses for adjectives is difficult for me. The descriptor tags used for characters, though they may be written as nouns or noun...

Do you have any recommendations of actual plays of LitM that does this well? EDIT: I think it'll be helpful to have the first post in of thread to have all the links to things. Kind of like a FAQ or Wiki page. Just a thought.

My bad. I am bad at internet. Thanks for the bump. EDIT: I created the other thread and it's here. Legend in the Mist - What are your thoughts? Any further discussions on that thread I'll try to redirect it here.

TLDR: Oops, I didn't realize there was another thread. I have lots of concerns, but the game looks super interesting and I'm excited to give it a try. Oops. I don't know how I missed that. Thanks. Not sure what to do... I'll just respond to your post here and I'll throw my future throughts in...
