Daggerheart General Thread [+]

For folks who bought the Core set and have FOMO about the sparkly rocks, search Amazon for "plastic rocks for vases colors". These are the same ones in the Deluxe Edition, and you can get a ton of them for like $6.

They're also "aquarium rocks" off Petco!

I want to share this podcast episode where guests Spenser Starke and Rowan Hall talk about the design choices that underpin Daggerheart. And wow, just a peek into their minds is really helpful and pretty dazzling.

It’s really more about why they joined Darringtonpress.

How tight is the game in its balance/encounters/math?

Closer to 5e 'loose' or PF2 'tight' or 'balance what?' OSR?

IME significantly better than any non-4e iteration of D&D because everyone gets the same number of abilities as they level up; there isn't really a Linear Fighter/Quadratic Wizard situation.

But that doesn't mean some lines aren't sharper than others or that balance is the biggest priority. Start with "tighter than 5.24 (let alone 5e Classic and the original monk), looser than PF2e".

And remember the biggest trap in Daggerheart building is to not balance your resources.

Yay my core set arrived!

Nice book, surprised at how little is made up by Adversaries, but I'll read through it when its not so grossly hot in my house.

I did thumb through the frames, lots to like.
