Depends on the gear. A few minor items that someone would logically have like a wizard having paper to write on and something to write with? Sure. I've even had people say "When we were in town I meant to buy.." and I'll have them roll for whether their character remembered to buy it. It's...

A lot of this has been in the planning stages since before DH was released, Brennan is very familiar and comfortable with D&D, they weren't sure they were ready for a DH livestream, who knows what will happen in the future is what I got out of it. I got the impression that they've been...

As long as we're talking about Blue Footed Boobies so we can keep this site PG-13, I approve.

Considering how much time a production like this takes to put together I'm not at all surprised. They may switch to DH at some point and I hope you find a game you enjoy, but D&D is a big part of CR's identity and how new DH is switching now would have been a huge risk.

I'm sure there will be plenty of live plays for DH in the future. Meanwhile, a D&D live stream has been their golden goose so I'm not surprised they stuck with it especially with Brendan running things. DH may be the golden chicken at some point in the future but it's too early to tell, a lot of...

I thought it was a good interview. I actually feel kind of sorry for them about how many times they have to repeat that it's not scripted. They kind of danced around what the longer term will bring for Daggerheart but that makes sense. Other than that it sounds like Matt and I take a similar...

I do much the same, adding BoH is useful outside of combat. In combat? It takes an action and a nat 20 if you want to try. It doesn't get used in combat.

🎺 Rory’s Remarkable Reassurance Emporium Presents… 🎺 The Super Deluxe Animal Attitude Adjuster™! Are you sick and saddle-sore from chasing your panicked pony every time a wyvern so much as sneezes? Had it up to your eyeballs with mules bolting at the mere mention of a manticore? Well fret no...

My barbarian is using a great sword so 2d6, attacks twice so 4d6, savage attacker grants rerolls on the damage 1/round (attacker chooses which one to use). So that's at least 6d6 per turn that I'm rolling. Getting a 6 is not guaranteed every round but on average you will get at least one. But...

That's a lot of work just to get exploding dice. I just don't see the juice being worth the squeeze.

Without figuring out the exact math every round my barbarian would be adding close to 4 points of damage. The thing is though that my barbarian already does quite a bit of damage and this particular build would benefit more than most others (unless you apply it to sneak attack damage which...

What version of exploding dice? The one I've seen is that if you roll max on any damage die, you roll again and repeat. My barbarian with a two-handed sword (2d6 damage) and savage attacker (reroll <edit stupid autocomplete> damage 1/round and use either one) would love it. That paladin with a...

There's a reason most video games use HP, even if a few also grant a version of regenerating temp HP. It's simple, easy to track and good enough. Even when you do that crit for massive damage and the DM says "Yeah, it felt that but it's still not very hurt" can add to the tension of the game...

They left the pony behind before they encountered the monster and Bill "knew the way home". I forget if it was just assumed he made it somewhere safe but I seem to remember there being mention he made it home.

If you regularly interrupt a nights rest with random encounters or have important social gatherings ending in combat, I can't say as I blame them. Especially when for some reason light and medium armor is perfectly okay but chainmail? Off it goes! If heavy armor were as good as it likely...

I used to do a lot of backpacking and we did do 20 miles in Philmont in one day. We didn't have an adult with us, so we were all young and in relatively good shape. It depends a lot on terrain and how well kept the trails are, we were on relatively flat trails (relative being the operative word...

That's Mr. Ed to you, good sir!

So small groups like, oh, 4-6 individuals fighting a similar number of enemies? Sounds about right for D&D. If you're playing a primarily urban campaign like I've run a few times over the years it would be appropriate. On the other hand I've never run a game where the characters were primarily...

It seems to me the most likely answer for why they have chosen a theme for their next campaign is that these people are playing the game they want to play with the hopes that other people will continue to watch. This is not scripted TV that has been run by an analytics department (and we've...
