D&D General D&D Variants Forum

[MostlyHarmless42]

Quick question: Should Daggerheart be considered a variant or adjacent and in the general forum? It's significantly more divergent than 13th Age (I'd say it's 1/3 D&D, 1/4 PbtA, and lots of other stuff) but is class/level based and designed to be accessible from a D&D base/to 5e players. (Given sales numbers it may get its own forum but isn't there yet)

(Also I'm having problems accessing threads in the general forum right now)

I too would like an answer to this question regarding Daggerheart. While it's probably not (yet) large enough to merit it's own forum, I feel like it would be doing an outright disservice to call it a "DnD Varient". It is a fundamentally different game from the ground up and arguably feels far closer to any of the PBtA games than DnD.

RPGS general then?

Daggerheart probably deserves its own tag on the TTRPGs General forum. (Although, that said, there's probably a number of RPGs that do.)

Probably exercise your scroll wheel, then. Just by an inch or so. It’s literally the next post after the one you’re quoting.

Definitely. DnD aside, the sad truth is so many great games are completely overlooked simply because they get lost in the mix, or it just isn't whatever "YetAnotherGygaxDungeonMeatGrinderRPG2EdClone" game is popular this week.
