Love this!

This happens far too much, truly the worst BBEG I've ever encountered

Starting a chronicle for Hunter : the Reckoning... Right on time 😈

I would encourage people to watch some actual plays to get an idea of how this game goes. I've been impressed how well the mechanics work and how much flexibility it gives everyone in combat. And I like the reference cards too, as much as I was afraid of yet another card game. This ain't that. I'd love to get to play it sometime. And I look forward to the final product.

D&D couldn't kill D&D. I don't think Daggerheart, being a different thing entirely, will kill it either.

Thanks for your analysis on this. I feel like Critical Role might do well to offer a general system-agnostic roleplaying guide. It seems like nearly half of the open beta material was filled with their gameplay suggestions that would be valuable at pretty much any table. As for Daggerheart itself, my experience (with the 1.3 beta, in my case) was similar to yours. There are some good concepts in the game. However, I thought that the Hope/Fear system actually detracted from the immersion, storytelling, and roleplaying. The system basically hammers home the idea that the player characters are the narrative heroes of a story, with their own special rules. The world revolves around them and their actions, and even the adversaries can't do basic things unless the players generate Fear for them to use. I also was not able to detect any clarity with their rules as written for running friendly NPCs. Do friendlies generate Hope and Fear? Does the GM have to spend Fear to fuel the actions of allies, or do the players have to spend Hope? Which dice to friendlies use? Who decides when they move? I use friendly NPCs of some sort in every game I play or run, so I found this ambiguity to be particularly glaring. In most games, there are differences between PCs and NPCs baked in. PCs have more detailed character sheets, for instance. But in Daggerheart, those difference are spotlighted with virtually every roll of the dice. Everyone at my table commented on this when we tried the beta, and found it off-putting. I wish CR success with this, but I think they're committed to the Hope/Fear system, so I don't know that I'll be going back for more Daggerheart.

Really informative video. I’m unlikely to play it anytime soon and your video has given me a good amount of insight into daggerheart

Solid break down of everything. I honestly tend to agree with your assessment overall. I think it'll be a solid game, that'll attract a very specific group of players.

This was a great video man! It's not my cup of tea (I actually like some more game/crunch personally), but I love how you acknowledge it's not going to be for everyone. One of your best videos in my opinion.

Appreciate your views on this matter, thank you.

Had to google wtf that was

It has become my go to fantasy game. The OGL kerfuffle drove me away from 5E D&D and pathfinder is too rules heavy for me. This is a good, moderately complex, ttrpg.

The fact that you pronounced Green "Ronin" properly... rather than the ridiculous boutique sounding cringe Green "Roh-neen" version that so many other TH-cam people do... was very appreciated. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of the AGE system (it feels a little too video gamey for my taste), but I do enjoy the comparisons of various systems and their mechanics. Great video.

Fantasy Age has been my personal go to game ever since 1st Edition and I love its flexibility through the whole "buffet of rules options" the entire AGE based game bouquet offers. I highly recommend playing with the Fortune option to replace default HP. It's SO much fun! <3

Have you tried Colostle yet? It's another solo RPG I'm thinking of trying.

Where’s that meme from

Yes

Oh no, you killed the bbeg... But the hemchmen escaped...(Slowly growing grin)

Her

😂so true

Love this, hopefully you get some time this year to play all the games!

I literally just picked up the Fantasy Age 2nd edition book & hope to give it a spin sometime in the future!

It's all about a good DM

Its a fun game. I felt whith my group there are players that struggle with the more free form format because they want to "win" so bad :D but i think they will get it at some point

I love this, now I don't dm though I am a player and when this happens I will definitely be exited. Anyways that is out of the way, the reason why I am commenting is because I play the sims. Now the story that I do have is sort of a cross between a fan fiction (bc of some of the charcters in my story are from games, and movies that I like)/rpg(well I am the one playing it on the sims though lol)/ and a generational legacy challenge based off of old fairytales. Basically there are characters I like and their children are based off of fairytales, and I have concucted this whole story for myself for fun. But the charcters have been through a lot and each story had a lot happening, they also had to defeat a foe their parents also had to deal with, and thier friend just had woken up from being a sleep for like a whole year. In the back of my head I wanna add a lot of conflict in the story that could be unnecessary. So I have been doing some things that they would like to do together, instead of having them be in a crisis every 40 seconds. And watching videos like this helps me understand why and epilogue is sooooo important. anyways thank you for coming to my ted talk and like bob ross I'll say this "God bless my friend."

Big fan of Fantasy Age I need to pick up the 2nd edition at some point! I want to convert my old 3e homebrew setting to it. :D

Absolutely love this review man! I was interested in this & it was actually super helpful!

Looking forward to those future videos. Keep up the good work.

SO CUTE

Cool

Mf my favorite die is the d7 😭

This was always the solution in living Greyhawk, just throw money at the problem. A tangle foot bag once brought down a dragon at comic con because the party meta gamed. Consumables and inventory management had always been a massive part of early dungeons and dragons. The infinite cantrips of 5th edition was countered with the never ending magic missles wands.

Im a dm for a new group and since they were starting out i gave them a selection of magic items that each one could choose one of to start with... They chose an immovable rod an infinitly restoring health potion (restores ever other round) and a cursed sword that does high damage but does half the damage to the user they abused the potion and the sword to do hige damage constantly and the immovable rod was used to drown a goblin by tying him to it and activating it at the bottom of a river. After this all happened ive never given out magic items in the beginning again and made it so that non cursed items have limited uses

A quiver filled with magical rods! Use magic item for the win.

Yessir. consumables have been staples of my campaigns for years and I cannot stress enough how much depth they can add.

I run a game that is dnd but set in the 1980s and I have spell cigarettes Which are spell scrolls that have been rolled up and are smoked to gain the effect

Great video. Thx 👍

Thank you! Our GM is trying to get us into Cyberpunk Red and your videos have helped make the ttrpg a lot easier to understand!

Just make everyone have access to the Outsider. Modiphius ain't going to send the Pinkertons; that would be WOTC.

I don't understand the disappointment. They've been pretty clear what their design goals were here. Maybe, I'm conflating disappointment and surprise? I don't expect to be an early adopter because the whole OGL fiasco prompted me to look at new games and booted me out of a creative funk. I'm in no hurry to go back to 5e in any wrapper. But, if they complete the game I loved, and don't try to fix what isn't broken... "just like 5e" is exactly what I would want from this.

Funny, I actually found the lore part disappointing. It was so clear that there have been constraints that didn't allow the world to be fleshed out, we only get what was already in the games (and the extremely mediocre novels).

As a dm whos looking for a base over-view I thank you, even if its from the players view

*me who dont have any friend that are interested in ttrpg*: great video!

I cannot believe I hadn't seen this video. Some really amazing insight into how you went about your conversion for Winds. Honestly, a really great watch!

I met the Emberwind group at a homeschool convention in the vendors' section. It seemed like a great system and the artwork was on point. It's taken 5 years since then to finally get my family involved in D&D so I doubt I'll be able to get them to change systems.

Agreed on all counts! You have such a warm, positive communication style. Really enjoyed your thoughts on The Party. Fingers crossed for season 2!

Killing my friend. 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪

Perhaps you would find Level Up Advanced 5e more interesting if your looking something more forward than Black Flag .

Kolbold Press is the best thing that 5e had to offer. I'm bummed that they stuck with the 5e ruleset. It's a broken rule set. I'm in love with Pathfinder. I'll miss KP products.
