Is Acquisitions Inc. switching to Daggerheart? Yes!

Looking at the videos of past pax live play, even though I’ve enjoyed most of them, it’s hard to top the 2015 to 2019ish or so shows. Maybe with waning interest or lower views and interactions, they want to shake things up OR just like our group after our long 3e/3.5/PF, we were ready for a change and went 5e.

So I can officially now respond to every "Even Critical Role, who made Daggerheart, would rather play 5e" with "Even the guy who made 5e would rather play Daggerheart". Good

Same. Losing Perkins and then Rothfuss marked a turning point for me. I still like the show, but it feels something was lost.

The plot becoming more convoluted with multiple realities and campaign resets didn't help, and I never fully warmed up to Crawford's style.

He's a great DM and much better than I will ever be, and kudos to him for being willing to take over from Perkins, but Perkins and Mercer kind of completely disappear into the story in a way that helps selling the show to me.
