Nuts ... add another campaign idea to the pile. I've always found that I prefer DnD that is a pretty big tent, genre-wise. It's why Eberron calls to me. It's why I want my players meeting in taverns that are more Mos Eisley Cantina than the Prancing Pony.

Yes, assuming the innovations were ones I liked ... but .. Here's the big "it depends" ... systems like this do require broader buy-in. I'm playing in a 5e24 campaign, so I'm playing 5e24. I'm GMing Daggerheart ... after a one-shot that the players liked so much it's become a full campaign. If...

Do you have a link to this video? I can't seem to find it ETA: Nevermind, found it.

Fun game, it's long been on my wishlist, but hadn't pulled the trigger because others in my gaming group owns it. Might pick up the reprint though

I got the Incredible Creatures PDF for Daggerheart. Flipping through it now, impressed

I was never a fan of the 5e Bloodhunter. The various maledictions and crimson rites and blood curses ... it was a lot of "words for blood" soup and just seemed like a frustrating class to play. I think the advantage of Daggerheart design is the various pieces are really cut down. A Class (aside...

Bloodhunter is now up in the Void: The Void 1.5 - Daggerheart

... TBH, I just didn't want to dunk (more) on the Runepriest or Seeker, lol. That said, 4e Psionics ... were messy, though the Psion is probably the worst for it. Because a few powers scaled off stats and the power point cost, a lot of low level powers stayed relevant until upper tiers and...

The symmetry won't be maintained, and that's a good thing. In 4e, while it occasionally led to innovation ... like the Avenger, for example, it led to a lot of grid filling, see the never-ending arguments about a Martial Controller or the Ardent (I think that was the Psionic Leader). I've seen...

Oooh, I like! :devilish:

No worries, my thoughts are on a similar vein. I'm thinking of changing it to something like "Shall we dance" and make it a Presence Roll by the player to get an NPC onto the dance floor. And yeah, for all those reasons.

I ran the Heist already. The party hadn't gotten much stuff yet, they got into the Robin Hood part of the campaign and have been giving to the poor, so I had them receive a message that a noble was shipping a bunch of magical items as payment to the evil Baron and they heisted it out of the...

I'm prepping for what might be an almost completely combat-free session in a couple of weeks, so I'm looking up ways to spend Fear outside of combat. Partly it's building the environment, but there will also be a bunch of Social NPCs that I can entangle with the party. The session will involve...

I'm currently shopping for something soft and toss-able, as I am debating having a physical object to move around the table to represent the spotlight.

Just got Book 6 of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series The Eye of the Bedlam Bride and Technofeudalism: What Killed Capitalism by Yanis Varoufakis from the library.

Daggerheart - it's my system of choice and offers a lot of what DnD can do but lighter. FATE - This is my go-to for any franchise I would want to run. Star Trek? Use some Atomic Robo elements like brainstorming for technobabble and batching together skills for a science officer. Star Wars...

I try, but maintaining a consistent voice is challenging. There's an ongoing joke that my accents will take you around the world in a sentence or two.

This might be of interest to this thread:

I gave out my first Transformation card last session. After the party Warrior slew a group of Doppelgangers that were pretending to be his nemesis and allies, the God of Lies offered to make him also a Shapeshifter. I honestly expected him to refuse, but he now has the card and a requirement to...
