I have no idea where this perspective comes from. Here's what the book says about spending Fear: That sounds pretty clear to me: it's a rough guide that you can take or leave. And, from my experience running and playing the game, I think it's reasonable. The Fear you spend in a scene gives it...

I'm kind of glad to see people are just enjoying or having a laugh at this one. The slot machine branding seems to have genuinely upset some folks. Enjoy this one or let others have fun if it's not your thing.

As a player, just make sure to keep everyone included in the game. In combat, vocal and dramatic players can seize more control than in traditional games because of Initiative, so watch for that and say "hey, <quiet player> what are you doing?" if the GM or other players don't.

RIght now I'm here for DaggerHeart and Draw Steel.

I picked up one local, (the standard set) and got another for a friend off of Amazon. I think this is an exceptional deal for an RPG product in 2025. I know we're discussing what a "fair price" for products is, but at this price point I can't imagine there's a lot of profit going their way.

Hah, I’m a victim here of time passing. At the time o posted this, there wasn’t a Foundry module planned. I’m so happy we’re going to see one. Although the lack of one got me to play for the first time in years with my group in person.

Just watching the stream on KoLC and he mentioned something I've never seen before. They call out games to do things that Draw Steel isn't about. Here's a reference to DaggerHeart: I have never seen anything like that in a gaming product before. I own both of these games, and am really excited...

At the moment, Knights of Last Call is doing a look at the game. It's going to be a long video, so if you have the time and want to learn about the game, Derik will likely have you covered. Don't know if the overall impression would fit with the [+] thread but I think he will like it.

I think in 2025, for newer players (i.e., players who don't play from an OSR perspective) I think this is correct. I'll go further and say that DaggerHeart has the themes that WotC wants in an RPG. It is very much not "kick in the door" style play, and I think WotC wants to move in that direction.

The "Without Number" series of books is one of the only buy in print on day one of a Kickstarter products I have. They are very different than Pathfinder, however.

I get that, I'm just wondering if this content is (as of now) going to be online-only, and exclusive to D&D Beyond. If so, I'm going to have to miss out on it.

I'm sure this will be answered many times, but it's for my players. I have a core set and the PDF. My players are all grown up adults who buy gaming stuff. If we can get the game going in person, I think that all of the players in the group will buy these to have them with their characters. I...

So I'm confused: is this official, player-facing content that's only available (such as we know now) via D&D Beyond?

This will be so interesting to look at, but I'm hesitant to back it. The names on the game are great, and I own a lot of products by many of them. But, those names make me feel like the game may suffer from being much more than anyone expects of a Diablo game. I've told the story that a friend...

I definitely see where you're coming from here. It doesn't bother me that the classes have different ways to accumulate or recharge powers so much because they were all designed at the same time and the design was worked out all at the same time. PF2 has had several series of class designers...

As someone who both plays and runs PF2, I’m going to give DS a try. Sometimes more is it always better, sometimes it’s just more. PF2 is very big at this point, and although I love it, it seems to have some serious differences in design between classes where some are designed with a different...

I’ll just say that if Matt doesn’t want to go to Gen Con I can understand that. I went since the Parkside days and had to stop when my daughter was born. I think it would be too big to have much fun at now. But I’ll invite him to Gamehole Con. He’d have a blast. Edited to add: I was watching...

I am running this in PF2 via Foundry and it's a great adventure that I think would work for 5E pretty well. If you have the physical or PDF copies of it, I can't think of a reason to buy this for Beyond. Trying to run this in Maps compared to Foundry would make my cry. There are map sets out...

They did one for the beta, and Derik spent the amount of time you'd expect him to on it. He's said they're doing one for the full release since he backed it, it will just be a bit. From reading the books, it's crunchy and I think it has enough similarities to 4E that I wasn't lost. I think I...

I just watched the video and I think Matt is engaged with the game quite strongly. It was also made at the time of launch and I think he had a bunch of things going on for the game. But he was involved with the game, asked a bunch of questions, and was generally helpful. I think Matt and I have...
