Wildsea, in my opinion, is a very good example of game design. It is designed around the idea of a very flavourful world that is created to be player led. We don't need all the lore around the cactus people, for example, because the player of the cactus person defines the lore themselves through...

Also, the more interesting encounters, NPCs, etc., the more likely it can be spun and altered to taste. If I read a bland module, I'm very unlikely to be inspired to make it my own.

According to everything I learned from Hollywood @Morrus your accent has you covered for French, plus, all ancient historical accents from Norse, Egyptian Rome, Greek, etc. plus any and all evil empires, both fantasy and science fiction. I assume you could sub in for Atlantean as well. That's a...

I'd love to see the very original,which considering its the 50th anniversary, it should be! Doubt it though..

Especially since I wrote door instead of floor.

Loved that. I got so much use of that boxed set and I wasn't even using it for D&D. And the Waterdeep city boxed set had all those maps that fit together. We spread them all over the kitchen floor (back when kneeling on a kitchen floor was a lot easier) and just explored! Fixed typo, floor, not...

Yeah. Even Eddie's moved on to Johnny Storm.

Brad Kerr's Wyvern Songs for OSE is my favourite introduction for new players. It's a little sandbox area with quirky, imaginative, fun locations and awesome NPCs. We had many hours of fun with this little book. And yes, Merry Mushmen does amazing work!

This definitely wasn't my favourite Jake portrayal, as he is kind of annoying. DS9 isn't perfect but overall, I like how Jake is handled character wise.

I like the fact that Sisko's son is just a typical kid. He has no interest in joining Starfleet and is pursuing writing. He's still figuring himself out and can be exasperating at times but not constantly. I love the relationship between Sisko and Jake, which always remains close. It's cool...

Yeah, it's interesting that Jake starts off as the more mature one and a good influence on Nog. Nog outstips him, maturity wise, and you can see them drift apart. It feels very real. DS9 has the best characters in this group of Trek shows.

Darrington does avoid crowd funding. But these cards are tricky. Hit? Flop? Probably in between but no way to know. They are also an expanding company which can be a risky spot to be in. KS seems a good idea.

Which is what they did for the game. As @overgeeked says, they'd like to know the interest levels, so they'll be able to get their print runs closer to customer needs. This isn't gross. It's actually good customer relations.

Matt will be running Age of Umbra2 so even if Campaign 4 does stick with D&D, Daggerheart is not getting abandoned. Having said this, DH as the game of choice in the next camlaign would be cool for them. (I don't actually watch Critical Role but yay for more DH).

Kids are great at coming up with additions. They're naturally "Yes and/No but" gamers because that's how they play.

Outside combat is a great way to spend fear. During combat I mostly use fear to take monster turns and to fuel their abilities. I agree with the pseudo compels as well.

Just arrived at our house yesterday. Looks fun. The map is folded heavy duty like a board game and I love the meeples. Game scooped up some Ennies!

Fan Favourite Company was the only category WotC was in. They and Paizo don't submit anything anymore.

Of course there are classes dedicated to combat. You need them because combat as a fail state does not mean you can completely avoid it. You will get noticed, fail in your negotiations, etc. The point is you want to have things in your favour as much as possible. If you have to fight, set things...

Exactly. There are luck tokens, characters don't automatically die at 0 hp, spells may fizzle but they can also go on streaks and characters start with more than one spell. The game has modes of play for dialing the difficulty up or down. The book heavily encourages the modern take on old school...
