I love that. With enemies that are unusually hard or easy to hit, there will be a little variance from 5%, but that strikes me as a feature not a bug. Nice work! Well, if "just play DH" were the final answer, there'd be no point in this discussion at all. Daggerheart is a great game and I...

I've thought of this myself, and I wonder how well it would work to replace the d20 with two d10s. Obviously that changes the flat slope to a bell curve, but that's not necessarily bad. It might be rough when fighting a monster with unusually high AC. We'd also need to figure out how to do crits...

Even Hall of Fame quarterbacks throw bad passes. I knew exactly what Draw Steel! was intended to be before that project even had a name, when it was just called MCDM RPG, and I was excited about it from the start. I know the name of Crows and all sorts of miscellaneous stuff about it, but don't...

Maybe they don't care whether anyone is excited about their game at this juncture, but I don't see why they shouldn't be. Either get people excited or keep it secret until you're ready to. Instead they're releasing details about this project yet we have no real sense of what niche their game is...

What's the elevator pitch for Crows? Anyone know? Because calling it "dungeon crawler rpg" tells me nothing, really.

I have no idea why I was just quoted, two weeks and ~160 pages later. But I'm glad my hatred of tortles has reached a new audience. Tortles! Bah humbug!

Dragon Heist was hot and cold. At our table, it was terrific at the start and ended with a bang, but dragged pretty badly in the middle. I didn't play Descent Into Avernus but most people seem to have disliked it. Overall, not sure how to judge. But I feel his resume could be better, honestly.

Speaking as a player who owns the DCC rulebook (and a dozen or so adventures) I would rather see them publish a new edition and increase interest in the game than worry about "invalidating" my stuff. Right now DCC feels like a game very much in decline. My local DCC Meetup.com group used to be...

Also, not having a new edition makes no sense financially. A second edition of DCC would give that system some desperately needed buzz. It's so old that it's based on third edition! I can't believe there aren't any tweaks they want to make.

I generally won't allow warforged into the games I run (unless I'm actually running Eberron, obviously). I just really dislike having androids (or the like) in my classic fantasy. No firearms, either. That can all work for a particular kind of setting, but not for a Forgotten Realms style...

Did you miss the part where the cleric would be dead because of that? The statblock for the shadow did say that specifically. Just wondering. EDIT: Sorry, I thought you literally meant negative six, not six less.

Kelsey Dionne is reading this on her yacht and nodding.

Silvery Barbs! Siiiiilvery Barbs! It's cringing time...for the DM

Of course 20 vs. 21 wouldn't make it "perfectly fine" for me. But I admit that the 21 does annoy me, meaningless though it might be. Maybe because it's meaningless -- they can't have made this NPC superhuman for gameplay purposes, because it barely affects gameplay. So then why is this dude...

WOW. The difference between these two statblocks is really striking. Never mind how much better the physical stats are for the Warrior Commander, Minsc 2014 has mental stats of 8, 6, and 10; Warrior Commander 2024 has 14, 16, and 14. I realize the latter's CR is three more, but come on. He's...
