I'd have to check) of Daggerheart, running a second for a remote group, and about to kick off another campaign of DH for the group just ended...Daggerheart's mechanics are, RAW, <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">that the monsters/NPCs only get a turn when the PC's either fail or roll with Fear Results (about 43% of the time) on their action.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">There's no turn structure/action economy past the above (tho' an option is present for one)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">rolling with hope or rolling a critical are supposed to have a narrative side benefit, and with fear a negative side effect</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Asymmetric: NPCs roll 1d20 for actions, cannot generate hope/fear. PCs roll 2d12 and generate either hope, fear, or a critical success. PC Outcome space is thus CS, S+H, S+Fe,  Fa+H, Fa+Fe...</li> </ul>This results in a lot of side effects, both good and bad. It's optimized for improv. An Adv Path would constrain quite a bit. For shooter-on-rails type play, it could work... but that's tossing its strengths in the bin.It can be played in traditional adventure mode, but it's fighting the rules, even the sample Quick-play shows how different a pre-written is for DH vs D&D.</blockquote>
