[QUOTE="Ringtail, post: 9716128, member: 7015570"] What's interesting is I feel like CR didn't quite used to be this way. I mean, they've always been really role-play heavy, but I found in C1 and early parts of C2, the players were pretty attentive and on-point with their characters. C1 in particular feels like they're playing D&D and not having a narrative experience with D&D combat. But then Covid happens, they take a big hiatus, and after they come back its like everyone forgot how to play their characters (I think some of them even say this.) They eventually get into the swing of things again, but it still feels like they're always fumbling with their abilities, and they start to get combat shy. This carries over into Campaign 3 and hasn't really changed. IMO the only person who seems to consistently know his stuff is Liam, who definitely seems like he loves D&D, not just role-playing. All that being said, Daggerheart does absolutely seem designed for the way the cast plays. Its not really my thing, but listening to Age of Umbra, Daggerheart seemed to work great for them at the table. I really do hope they use it for their next major campaign, and that by doing so it injects some life back into the group. (I also think rotating the cast and having smaller adventures, Dimension 20 style, would help as well, but that's blasphemous to a lot of critters.) [/QUOTE]
