    Daggerheart Releases Two New Classes for Playtest

    I loved that they called it fighter if only for the comments it will generate around tables. :) That said, the playtest mostly looks good but I've seen folks saying they think the Juggernaut is not interesting enough compared to the Martial Artist.

    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    Get a PDf through either Demiplane or DriveThruRPG. That's a lot cheaper way if you're willing to get it, but just not up for the print copy price.

    What do YOU plan on doing with Daggerheart?

    I'm thinking my plans for a Pathfinder 2E campaign ended yesterday. I'll still do some Pathfinder 2E adventures, but for a full game right now my thoughts are on Daggerheart. That might change if I grow to dislike something about them. My biggest concerns are over what VTTs end up supporting it...

    Daggerheart has been Officially Released

    If you're going to do a day one review, this is how you do it: - that's 6 and a half hours of 'lets read this on stream page by page and talk about every little thing we find. I lasted a couple hours, and he seemed to really like it when I fell asleep. ;)

    Daggerheart has been Officially Released

    That last guy you linked did his review right after he did his unboxing review. He hadn't even read the book yet. So it's really a playtest review. He also ordered the limited set, and then spends time complaining that it came with "stuff" that only the limited set came with. - He's the guy who...

    I am surprised I am still excited for Daggerheart

    Some folks like the 'shiny new', some don't. Sometimes being open to the shiny new can let you find a gem to hold on to. I will say I think the narrative method would great in a circle of gamers that are friends beyond the table. It lets you just 'go' with the mood of your friendship when...

    I am surprised I am still excited for Daggerheart

    That advice by the way, is some of the best ever put in an RPG book. We all probably skip the 'how to be a GM' chapter, but this is one book were you should read that stuff line by line, maybe even print out a page of your PDF and bring a highlighter. Because the 'narrative format' is an...

    I am surprised I am still excited for Daggerheart

    My print copy arrived yesterday, and I grabbed my PDF about an hour ago after a work meeting wrapped up. Seriously geeking out right now. Some fun things: It has FFXIV Miqote - the cat people can be that or furry at your discretion and some of the art has them as miqote. There's a campaign...

    Starfinder Starfinder 2E: The Galaxy Guide is out - first book for SF2E

    I finally looked at that last night and scanned through all entries of them. One of them has 'Void Elf' in parenthesis on it's entry. So I guess that will be an Elf heritage in Starfinder 2E to fill the same lore spot.

    Goodman Games Offers Assurances About Judges Guild Royalties

    That reads like the anti-semitic version of "I have a black friend"... It doesn't "sanitize things". Not sure if they can legally just drop the project, but if they could, that'd be the only actual way to be clean of the issue. Remember when Kevin Spacey turned out to be as toxic as a nuclear...

    D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

    Back in 1999 I got a job working at a Graphic Design company in the height of the first dot-com bubble. Every one of the designers had been trained on print media, magazines, fashion shows, etc. They'd all taken a few classed in things like using an old 'pre OSX' Mac and using old Photoshop and...

    D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

    I actually prefer the MM one there. I like the lighting. The MM one has more mood.

    Starfinder Starfinder 2E: The Galaxy Guide is out - first book for SF2E

    My physical copy was on my doorstep a few hours after I made the above post. So it will probably be in local shops within the next 2 weeks. Subscribers get about that much lead time I think.

    Pathfinder 2E New Pathfinder 2E 'Asian Themed' Humble Bundle just started up

    Pathfinder lore fans often note Travel Guide as a favorite book. Self included. It's a whole book on just what is life like for people in the setting. Things like fashion, foods, sports, common games, trade routes, holidays, and so much more. I'll be mining this book even when I start running...

    Starfinder Starfinder 2E: The Galaxy Guide is out - first book for SF2E

    The Galaxy Guide is out. shipped for me a week ago, and should get here any day. I've had the PDF since last Friday though. It's a lore update for the setting, but also has a lot of character addons - ancestry feats, archetypes, and so on. There's curiously a whole section for new Dragonkin...

    Pathfinder 2E New Pathfinder 2E 'Asian Themed' Humble Bundle just started up

    It does not have a Foundry key for the beginner box, but the PDF lets you qualify for a discount on that - making the Foundry key $15 I think.

    D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

    It looks like Erol Otus is still around, but I haven't seen art with his name on it since that early D&D stuff. Is there new work out there? Looks like his life passed through some of the same places mine did, but a decade earlier.

    D&D 5E (2024) Martial/Caster fix.

    I'm quoting myself because a month after posting that I finally sat down with the Daggerheart playtest and... I think it does what I was describing. Casters and Martials mostly work off the same 'time scale' for their resources. There might be a few places where they're still trying to play...

    D&D General DALL·E 3 does amazing D&D art

    This was my intro to RPGs: And that cover is still one of the best pieces of fantasy art I've come across. Despite not being a 'technical masterpiece' in the blockbuster sense - it grabbed me and hooked me on the concept the moment I saw it. I've seen a lot of RPG art over the years. I've...
