Great introductory DMG> I am not sure how "great" it is for utility after you have run a few sessions. I don't like the layout or organization at all. I wish they had not a Phandelver level Starter Set and put all that intro DM stuff there (and made that material available for free on beyond)...

I did this to good effect for a high level, god-hunting D&D game for a convention. I tweaked the formula a little each session and finally landed on a pretty good solution. There is a thread around here somewhere.

This is a good question. What is the point of these languages? Outside of simulation purposes, what do they add to the game?

The format has or is soon changing as well: big fat quartly hardcover instead of monthly softcovers.

A couple players from my steampunk/aetherpunk supers convention campaign Carole me into running a monthly game of it. The Arcanopolis Knights Live!

For clarity, I did not mean reducing the number of levels. I meant eliminating or replacing low level.abilities with higher level ones as you level, so the total number of things the players have to juggle remains manageable.

I have considered this a number of times for a convention campaign, but have yet to pull the trigger.

You said I was just responding to that. We all know Eberron is not coming to Daggerheart.

Sure. I agree. My post was meant to say that whatever Keith is doing has next to no impact over whether I would still want a Daggerheart version of Eberron. For clarity: boy would I.

Military Urban Fantasy is about as close as I can get, but I will totally run that game.

Okay. i'm pretty sure we are talking more about genre classification.

The shake out happened pretty early on, though. What's the old addage? Science Fiction has a rocket ship on the cover, and fantasy has a dragon? Despite fuzzy genre lines, I think anyone can look at Spelljammer and see that it is purely fantastical, with no real "scince" elements at all, even...

That is the real "Vancian."

From Earth to the Moon. Space 1889. Treasure Planet. it is a real genre that has been around for a long time.

It seemed to suggest that you can in fact just start there, but then reiterate that getting there is the main barrier.

I like this. What, I wonder, are the kinds of high level campaigns that would require some rules forking? Domain management (and, one assumes, war). Becoming and/or fighting gods or other epic level entities. SAVE THE WORLD. And we should make room for Just More Adventures But In Ever Weirder...

These statements seem at odds.

I mean, Space Fantasy is right there... But, yeah, it is just a peeve. I don't expect the world to move for me.

If it were up to me, I would like a dedicated High level handbook with all those discussions and rules material, then a bunch of one page adventure and encounter seeds, and maybe a singular high level "one shot" to put all the pieces together.

Man I wish people would stop calling Spelljammer "sci fi."
