Thanks for sharing! Have you done any 4e monster conversions to Daggerheart? It seems like the roles should map pretty easily, but I haven’t tried. I’ve seen a lot of 5e conversions, naturally, but I still think 4e had some of the best monster design.

This thread made me realize while I’m Gen X all of my closest friends (including my partner) are in that elder Millenial bracket. I always knew I was immature.

Oh wow, that’s cool! How does your Bladesinger subclass work?

If it’s about Bards it’s not Necro’ing, it’s the Comeback Tour!

Ok, I can see it! I’m used to Luke with a beard.

I’ll add Moon Knight Green Lantern Black Panther

I see Melf has ditched his old glow-in-the-dark short sword that his 80’s action-figure used to carry 😜 It’s nice to Easley return, but like many have said, it’s not his best work and it doesn’t scream Greyhawk to me. I was expecting this book’s cover art to depict the eponymous city of the...

I used to love games like HERO and GURPS, crunching character points for the fun of it. But as I got older I lost the taste for it and started preferring lighter games. That being said I’ve never managed to play in a FATE game I’ve much loved. SWADE does a good job of threading that needle...

I can’t speak for anyone else, but I would have potentially been a Savage World but not GURPs voter, due to SW being a much less crunchy kitchen-sink game. But I’m not playing Savage Worlds anymore.

I think I have the 1 lonely vote for the d6 system, but I had to support a game engine that’s given me so much fun from the 90s to today. (My other 2 picks were Daggerheart and 4e, the latter of which I know also won’t win. Almost went for Shadowdark, but that probably won’t need help from me 😁)

Have you checked out Free Stars: Children of Infinity? It’s helmed by the original SC creators, Paul Reiche III and Fred Ford. The Kickstarter page has a lot of fun dev blogs. While I don’t think there’s any hints of the strategic planet conquering game of SC1 it is set to be a proper sequel to...

Thank you for sharing! That’s a pretty fascinating way they handled it. Oh! Does that include preordering? I thought they were only sharing previews for those who pledged.

@The-Magic-Sword I was wondering if you could share a little about Venators from the preview. I’m not sure how much they’ve teased yet, but do you know how Damnations and Torments will work for them, since ostensibly they’re still human?

This sounds really cool, if you don’t mind I’d also like that link please 😁

I don’t think they do in their modern incarnation but I seem to remember some really old art where they were drawn with toothy beaks, and more resembled the kappa (?) toy they were based on.

if you don’t mind doing some conversion, The Chronicles of Darkness books had slightly more combat systems, as I recall (like static values for Defense and various keyworded Conditions). Nothing quite what you’re looking for in terms of tactical gridded combat, though. If you have the time and...

Wow that’s very cool! Many, many years ago some friends and I threw together a very primitive MtG rpg together as a lark. It was similar to Ars Magicka in that you had one mage and 1 retainer, and to cast spells you played a very accelerated version of the card game. I’m sure their version...

Er, yes. I should have been more clear. I meant in terms of finding similar enough powers and capabilities. Using the families as presented really didn’t match up that closely to the Fae; so I expect we’d need to do some heavy re-writing there if we I really were going to move forward on that...

Thanks for all the insights @The-Magic-Sword ! That was very helpful! Venators sound like they will be an interesting take on the Hunter archetype. If my group does decide to make the switch to Curseborne with our current campaign I’ll probably wind up customizing the Hunter characters, but...

I think I’ll have to see it in play, but I’m not sure I love the damage system where it seems like you normally inflict 1 damage with possibility of boosting it to 2. It reads like combat will be a slow slugfest with combatants chipping away at health. I get that weapon tags and tricks add some...
