That is a difficult situation indeed. I am glad that you cared enough to figure out what would work for your players. That's the sort of mindset we want to build for others through this series. -True

@@moutonrustique I appreciate the feedback. I will do that going forward -True

Thank you, Shield Brother (and actual brother). Your peak acting was a vital part in the fun!

@@Notjustahealer thanks brother! It’s an actual story from Norse Mythology. Funny enough I am a Norse Pagan and love bringing these old stories and characters into my games. - True

That is awesome! Thank you so much. Are you homebrewing a OneShot, running a DC20 one, or converting one from another system?

@ I’m going to use The Hunted one shot from Dungeon Coaches site. It’s been a long while since I’ve run a game, once I get more comfy I’ll venture into homebrew. I’m looking forward to watching your holiday one shot

@@ArcNatrix great question. The answer is YES if the group of players wants to get into the story and embodying their characters without having to constantly look at their character sheet. This is especially good for setting the precedent that players need to know what they want to do and say it during combat or they don’t get to do as much. This takes time to get good at though. I think it’s great for new players. Also because they don’t have a ton of class options to worry about at level 1. Additionally as the GM, the amount of rules here is much less than other RPGs which is great during the game because you don’t need to keep going back to the book to find what you need and play can continue. Now the counter point to this is: your players may need/want more structure which other rpgs have. It also depends on you as the GM if you feel prepared to handle new rules while handling new players. I think the main question is, as the GM, are you prepared and feel comfortable in the rules? Do you feel, from what you have seen and read of this system that it is right for your players? (In most cases yes but that depends on how well you know your players) If you have been doing this for 12 years I think this is the only thing that matters in the end: do you want to play something new and refreshing for you as the GM? Do you want to take away the restrictions your players will feel when they see their character sheets and realize they aren’t as good at the things they think their character should be with no real way to improve that? But try it and if it doesn’t work for the team, the. Go back to what you know. Hope that helps at least slightly lol - True

@@ShieldsRestTTRPG Thanks for the response, I'll take those points into consideration. The one solid takeaway I get is that Daggerheart streamlines a lot of the clunkiness of other tabletop games, not just with combat but all around. But I think I may give it a try. Subscribed.

@ArcNatrix that is my assessment as well. Streamlined with enough structure but not so much that you feel restricted. Let us know how your first session goes. I hope you and your team have a great time. Also check out the Daggerheart Reddit page, lot of great ideas and tons of people there to help with any questions you may have. Welcome to the Shield Wall! - True

@@ShushimiGaming you are indeed correct. However I have moved on to the new rules Matt talked about during the close of the beta. The use of action tokens will go away. So I decided to make the switch because it’s way easier than using action tokens. Thank you for pointing that out, it is an important distinction to make. I found it clunky to hand out tokens as well. Limits my players and gets in the way of me being able to move the spotlight around as well when a player has a awesome action they want to take. Again though, you are correct, that is indeed something that the GM can do. I appreciate the thorough feedback. - True

​@@ShieldsRestTTRPG so in the future the dm gets fear instead of the tokens. Do you know how much fear you can have if it is used for moving as well as attacking. 6 fear is not that much for the dm

@@ShushimiGaming Correct. Going forward you will have a limit of 12 fear. When activating an adversary you use 1 fear. With that activation your adversary gets to move within close range and use an action. To use a feature that will cost an additional fear token. Gaining fear comes from when your players role with fear and when they take an action. Fear should be a Simi plentiful resource for you with the new limit of 12 fear. I hope that clarifies things. I have been using these rules since Matt mentioned the changes and am loving it. Way more intuitive. - True

​@@ShieldsRestTTRPGa looks a lot better. Thanks for the clarification

Thank you, Shield Brother. Our One Shot will be released 20 Dec, please check it out!! We think it's a great video!

Thank you! Be sure to watch the Holiday One-Shot when it releases on 20 Dec!

Indeed, Shield Brother. And we will also be looking to watch and support your One Shot and Battle Royal!

True is our resident Genesys expert. He's chomping at the bit to talk about it more. I'm certain he will give you the content you need.

Thank you! Be sure to watch the Holiday One-Shot when it releases on 20 Dec! The Bard/Cleric definitely does his part to help his allies.

Fear not, Shield Brother. Several of us have the DH pre-order in and are awaiting it's arrival. We do plan to have an unboxing, though I cannot promise the limited edition.

Thank you! Made possible by you!

@ huzzah lol

I do have to say, I like your suggestion of calling them "Shield" points! - Brown

In the final version Armour will always reduce damage straight to the next threshold. So If you took severe damage (3 HP), using an Armour slot, will always make it major damage (2 HP), and Minor damage (1 HP) would be reduced to no damage. This way there's no need to do annoying math. Hopefully the way you recover, will be somewhat different as well from the beta version, Bc I do agree it's too similar to HP. Otherwise it's kinda HP as items you can buy with gold, which is a fun element but not enough.

I have been having some reservations about characters for DH as well but can't quite pinpoint why. Can you elaborate on what has been bothering you?

@@bweber1226 For us its been about the class "features" and the way the Domain decks are. It feels like everyone is basically the same but with minor differences. My players feel like their class doesn't distinguish them enough from other players that use the same domain decks.

Thank you for watching, and commenting! What is your favorite part about DC20 so far?

Thank you! We are thankful to have the support of both yourself and Claudio.

It's the least we can do for a Brother of Shield's Rest. Thank you for the continued support.

Sounds like a great recommendation for a video, Shield Brother. We will definitely add that to the list. Thank you for watching and supporting us. There is much more roleplay (and lore) forthcoming!

One can never love Star Wars too much. Thank you, Shield Brother.

Very awesome! Thank you for sharing your character sheet with us. We actually enjoyed it and it was easy to navigate and familiarize with.

Thank you very much. Pinned this comment!

Thank you for the feedback, we will adjust that for our next video.

appreciated

Thank you Shield Brother! We’ve been having a lot of fun in both systems, and excited to get the whole team in on DC20 so we can see how they compare as a group! What gravitates you more towards DC20?

Absorbing more than anything! But we do have a one shot coming up soon, and will definitely be sharing our thoughts and ideas for builds once we get our hands on the subclasses! Very excited to deep dive into those!
