I'll give two answers. The first is the "rhomboid" D12s that I first saw with Daggerheart. a D12 that's a new design? COOL. The other answer is a set of "dice for old people" that I bought. They have BIG numbers that are easy to see. Not only can I read them, but you can see them quite well at a...

Of course, that's what I thought too. I just got unreasonably excited by the download link. So I guess you could say I'm looking forward to this project.

I did the preorder and got an email with a download link shortly afterwards. I thought SWEET! Why is no one talking about this ... and then I downloaded a file that basically said "coming soon and you'll get yours as soon as it's ready." For about 30 seconds I was REALLY hyped, but I'm still...

I can see what you mean. It definitely is something that players and GMs work together on. All I can say is that I've never seen it be a problem, and this is with GMs of widely different skill levels, and players too. There is sort of the expectation that the players will handle their effects...

I guess just a comment on tracking all of the conditions and forced movement. I play Pathfinder Society, Paizo's equivalent of Adventurers League, and so have played with a huge variety of players and GMs. Some really good ones and some more basic. There has never been a problem with tracking...

This is something that a lot of experienced GMs out there may say "duh" about, but I steal how PbtA does scene play and the Conversation. I think it was a game of Dungeon World with an excellent GM that sold me on this way of playing. First, I break the game into scenes where there's something...

I think there are two answers to this question. The first is what the OP asked: is the game better for them leaving? From my understanding, the books that have come out up to now have been influenced by both of them. So the answer is, we won't know until we see what's next and what doesn't have...

I think it can be a great idea based on what kind of game you're running. If you want to have an environment where the players explore it and you put in a lot of description, I think it can be great. If it's just "everyone roll perception" then I don't see the point. And a fully descriptive...

I still have my 3E era Traveller rules, and they weren't awful. I just don't see the need for a 5E version, but I understand that these versions do sell, so I hope people enjoy that. You have to make a living as a company, right?

On the balance issues, I pretty much agree with Blue. On the issue of dragons, there are plenty of stories of them being defeated by humans, so I don't consider it unreasonable. One of my favorite quotes is: "Fairy tales do not tell children that dragons exist. Children already know that...

It's been my experience that people in the "5E does everything" camp are either designing a game system (where 5E versions sell much more!) or don't have experience with other systems. It's sort of the "when all you have is a hammer, everything is a nail" situation in the second case. I played...

We did a test campaign when Demiplane was the only option and it was one of the reasons that the game didn't really succeed. I don't think any of the other players liked how clunky, for lack of a better word, it was. I have the Foundry game system installed and have made characters as well as...

This is so strange to me. I've seen an Acquisitions Inc live play years ago, and the players in it have really changed over the years. Lots of drama behind the scenes. Still, it will be fun to check in and see how they adapt this to Daggerheart.

That's odd. I'm not sure what the issue would be with the dread domain. Did I miss something and the word "dread" has new connotations? I'm not trying to start anything but I admit to not being in the know about that. I'm just doing an adventure in Barovia, and the DM is all over talking about...

That's really interesting. I wonder what the new campaign frames will be. Thanks much for sharing!
