[QUOTE="Hermes_Alexandria, post: 9731550, member: 7034171"] I see the [I]Cosmere RPG[/I] as one of several titles emerging from the post-OGL scandal, each attempting to capture a different segment of the D&D market. Each game has its own design philosophy: [LIST] [*][B]Shadowdark[/B] offers an "OSR-ified" 5th Edition, blending modern design with old-school simplicity and lethality. [*][B]Daggerheart[/B] provides a "narrativised" 5e, focusing more on story-driven mechanics. [*][B]Draw Steel[/B] returns to gaming's first principles, emphasizing tactical, high-fantasy combat. [*][B]The Cosmere RPG[/B] presents a more aggressive mechanical revision of 5e than the official D&D updates, deeply integrated with its IP while also giving nods to narrative play. [/LIST] Following this pattern, its generic counterpart, the [I]Plotweaver RPG[/I], is likely to be mechanically a D&D heartbreaker for the Cosmere RPG players that completely miss 5.5e. [/QUOTE]
