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.

I could be wrong as I'm only going from a read at this point and not 'up against the wall of actual players'... but yeah. When I read Daggerheart I kinda feel I could just play or run it with mostly regular players. We'd get to a narrative moment and instead of saying "you see ABC in the...

That's hard for me to answer because I've never read PbtA and only even heard of it in recent posts here. Maybe the things I find so well stated and revolutionary are old news to many of you. I've been seeing some reviews that are making that point. In which case it's value is that this advice...

This one might be interesting. How good are the digital tools: Daggerheart is in a rough position of competing with two very different fan bases. They need to meet expectations of people coming from D&DBeyond, and of people coming from the independent hobby scene where we have things like...

Haven't watched all these. But at least they're not done before even reading the thing like some of the day one's: I think this guy will have the most value for D&Ders IF he does another video with a 'now that I've played it even more' followup. He's a player, he's not been following...
