That's just bad GMing, setting up what is supposed to be an important scene for character A but not protecting their role or agency in it.

I don't want this to turn into THAT debate again. I was not asking about or responding to the general idea that casters can outshine non-casters. I was responding to the specific idea of casters outshining others in their personal stories (the example given was the blacksmith versus fabricate)...

I admit that these sorts of things -- having a mini that matches my mental image of my character-- are not things I care about. At all. So I don't understand why it is an issue, but I do understand that it IS an issue for some folks. I'm just as happy to use a die or penny or M&M.

I think it is important to remember that WotC is making this thing exclusive to their platform as well. I don't think DH has a platform, and I don't expect they will release thing solely to Demiplane (for example). That said, every RPG company that sells material you can't get in print is...

Asked for money, it seems.

There are 3 of them right? Maybe they intend to put out a compiled hardcover next year?

It is hard to tell because how you can access the models, but here is a frogfolk versus a ribbit: I am not sure why you would pay extra for the ribbit.

I am not so much interested in the combat as war aspect. I am more interested in making the threat of disease or starvation actually interesting to play out.

Do you emphasize the difficulties of exploration: logistics, "natural" obstacles, etc? I know it might be a little harder to do in space, but the thing I am interested in and wondering about is making fighting mosquitos, raging rivers, hunger and unfriendly locals the core of the game -- all...

I am honestly curious how folks feel about these digital only books from WotC, available (I surmise) only on D&D Beyond. Is this a positive development?

I don't go for detailed, pre-written plots. I am more of a play to find out GM. I like creating fun and interesting situations then letting the players loose on them. As such, much of what is considered traditional prep isn't just unnecessary, but actively counter to the point.

I am currently in the middle of The Lost City of Z by David Grann (Goodreads link), a nonfiction story about early 20th century exploration and it got me thinking about the pretty wide gulf between what a real world adventurer is, and what most RPG adventurers are. Are there any TTRPGs that...

I just put daggerheart in the search bar and they popped right up.

Doing so, I can't see where you pick the Daggerheart minis versus just the frog folk or whatever. EDIT: Nevermind. Found it.

Am I misunderstanding? Are these not Daggerheart branded assets?

Are there other company specific models that are not behind a paywall, or is this an attempt to try a new type of product? I am curious if HF is testing the waters here, or if Darrington is seeing just how far they can leverage the moment of popularity of DH. Just to be clear, I am not...

I'm only saying it isn't unusual, and that it does not appear to be enshittification. Unless i am misunderstanding, these weren't elements that had been included in the sub but then put behind a pay wall. They were new things put behind the payroll.

An example of a system that asks both a subscription fee and has microtransactions. There are tons of other potential examples -- it was just the first one to come to mind.
