Acquisitions Inc. switching to Daggerheart

Like @newsnerd said: folks on YouTube are always looking for ways to bait viewers into engaging with their videos...and manufactured outrage is one of the easiest and most effective ways to do it. It doesn't matter if it's correct or not, the important part is that it makes you click the link. (All the better if they make you angry enough to leave a comment, or share the link.)

It's so easy to spot clickbait and so easy to avoid. I personally much more prefer first looks, dming tips, etc, to negative stuff. I'm in the minority, though, apparently.

Well, well, well...

How the turns table.

The problem is that many YTers use clickbait headlines for the algorithm even when their content is nothing like that. it makes it very hard to find good content.

Youtubers are always looking for a reason to see D&D on the decline, and this is just another one.

The decision makes sense though (waiting for confirmation from Acq Inc. tho)

Teos isn’t one of those. His video isn’t even click bait.

Happy to see Daggerheart staying in the public conscious. Hope they enjoy the game.

I think it probably has SHadowdark-esque legs: popular, but not going to replace D&D in the marketplace, even if it replaces D&D for some people. (I am some people, for both games; when I want gritty D&D, I run Shadowdark, and when I want heroic D&D, I run Daggerheart now).

Daggerheart and Fabula Ultima have altered how I look at games now. Being a Killer DM for decades, it's nice to have a system put that in the hands of the players instead of the pressure on a GM to craft Goldilocks encounters that feel challenging but don't threaten death at every turn.
