Huh, wonder if that led directly to their long list of inspirations page in DH.

Legacy of the Crystal Shard has a ton of the deep north setting stuff, iirc Rime just recycled most of it verbatim.

I feel like Paizo would be hurt by this.

I mean you're assuming all games need constant releases. CO is a much more contained narrative thing then Daggerheart, which is designed as a "generic" system to layer stuff on top. (now I have heard that CO was rough around the edges as released) Blades in the Dark never got "additional...

This is a great way to do a moderate amount of prep when you have the mental energy and inspiration that then leads to many sessions of 0 prep or at most hastily jotted notes of possibilities for the day. I tend to steal/borrow liberally from books I've read, like when I sat down and built out...

Still love just dropping sheets and images into Miro like we're playing with pen and paper around a table. The one thing I can see getting a little annoying is high Proficiency math come T3-ish. That's a lot of d8s etc getting tossed around by people. ____ We had two Death Moves made on...

Check out the playtest of Witch / Warlock to see this, it's neat.

The total absence of anything but fiat leveling from Daggerheart is my biggest complaint with that system. I like how Draw Steel! abstracts it down to a much smaller system of 1-2 Victories awarded for overcoming challenges, and 16 victories translated into XP for a level. If D&D separated XP...

I definitely think the Void ones that are ports of rulesets from other games are more interesting generally than the core book ones. But I've done that sort of thing already for my games as part of the core design. Maybe I should just extract the set of the interesting mechanics from the...

I don't have an opinion either way.

I'm assuming @Aldarc 's thrust was about associating the Witch class which is highly gendered in folklore and culture with the first Domain they've added that is basically negative / cruel. The Witch class itself + the subclasses are lovely.

Seanan McGuire is doing MTG novels? Wow, good for her.

There's nothing they do that I don't do by default via the standard moves except break out a custom array of outcomes (apart from the Cult Ritual which I think I'll grab for an upcoming showdown). I was looking through the T1 and T2 ones in particular last night to see if there was anything...

I always feel so weird with VTT discussions, I like my stuff as simple and close to tabletop-analogue style as possible. Clearly in the minority there though. Regarding the "expansion" I'm not sure I see anything interesting there but hey, they've got more time. I don't really have any interest...

While not all of Trophy: Gold's organization is amazing, I like how many of the Incursions (its version of a dungeon scenario thing) emphasize general tone and considerations up front in a tone speaking directly to the GM: Or

Ah, so like Greek heroes and not heroic fantasy heroes.

Storage is cheap, compute is not.

When I re-wrote Curse of Strahd in Legendkeeper, I did this with the keyed maps. Like many digital tools, it has the ability to link pages to pins so if you hovered/clicked it would pop up whatever you'd written in the other page inset. Made running a complex keyed dungeon right from the map...

Weird, literally everything I buy that's not a WOTC product is offered in PDF. This has nothing to do with dominance and everything with WOTC wanting to do electronic moats around their products. I love PDFs. I can download them on my computer, open them wherever and whenever I want, print...

It's both an overall campaign book and a hex crawl, but I think Dolmenwood show that you can format to look amazing for printing and also be incredibly well organized digitally as well. The formatting and design is gorgeous, wonderful use of whitespace and colored callout boxes to enhance...
