I think there is definitely room to build Daggerheart adventures more around the Savage Worlds "Plot Point Campaign" model than like the 5E model. Give the GM the important inflection points, all the necessary adversaries and environments, and let the GM run it.

If John Wick can do it, D&D certainly can. Some folks are focused so much on how "guns just can't work in D&D" that they are missing the point: it is still an action adventure game. It doesn't have to be realistic, any more than melee combat in "regular" D&D is. Which it isn't, not even a little.

Well, what I am talking about is a much more traditional Urban/Contemporary Fantasy setting. That is, Earth as we know it, but with magical stuff in the shadows. I don't think advancing the Realms (or whatever) to some analog of the 20th century is quite the same genre. And I make that statement...

I spent 10 minutes making a character and it was pretty smooth. the only thing is it does not actually tell you how many experiences or cards you can have at 1st level. not a big deal, but since there is a wizard i can of expected it to block the add button after doing 2. The attacks, checks and...

People keep saying stuff like that and I do not see why.

GIVE US A GM SCREEN!

Preferably with similar ::ahem:: vibe to her GLOW work...

I have not had a chance to open it up yet. Stupid work...

For those that partake, Daggerheart is now (finally!) available on Fantasy grounds. Yay! I am looking forward to getting to play more DH!

[not this thread] Do you even realize you are being terribly rude and pretentious?

I mean, I think ShadowMusk would be an indie rpg if he and a small team made i, even if they spend tens of millions on art and marketing. It would be weird to put an upper budget limit on the meaning of "indie." How would you decide what that limit was?

That is more aetherpunk or magitech, IMO. Contemporary Fantasy is usually set in our world, with magic stuff.

Sure, and nothing stops indie developers from doing something very traditional, or traditional developers from doing something experimental. In TTRPGs there is also the question of what constitutes an indie developer. Is Kobold indie?

Again, anyone who goes into dungeons looking for loot is certifiably insane. Completely bonkers. Nutso.

Here's the new trailer: I must admit, this one sells me on the movie -- even Momoa's Main Man.

To use video games as an example, there are "indie" video games of every conceivable style, genre and level of quality. "Indie" doesn't mean anything from a gameplay standpoint. Same with TTRPGs -- but, for some reason, we have decided that "indie" roleplaying games must have x, y and z qualities.

The rest of your post was mostly about combat vs non combat detail and depth. That is a wholly different issue. "Mini games" and "switching modes" allows a game to include elements that are important to play (or at least important to the designers) on their own merits. Forcing games to use the...

"Indie" as a description of what something is, as opposed to how it was made and by whom, has always bugged me -- in music, in games, in film, in fiction, etc... Indie is when people manage to create it without the benefit of a big corporation. It has nothing to do with genre.

Why not?
