I feel like Daggerheart's world might be pushed into Exandria. Which is why Matt introduced a completely new world (The Moon) which may be bigger than we think. So I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing more stuff from Daggerheart in Exandria. Not to mention we have all of the shattered teeth, which honestly matches the Katari race well since it seems to be Japanese based. And we've been seeing different races not really in D&D often. I wouldn't be surprised if C4 isn't Daggerheart. I know it isn't completely ready, but remember in C1 and C2 Matt was making his own stuff already while they played and made adjustments week to week.

Travis getting hyped by the end of the game about being a badass fairy is so fun and charming. It was like a light switch turned on and he got super into the build he got. I saw the character creation process, he seemed bummed the fairy had more appealing traits than the daemon so he took it begrudgingly. Glad there’s enough customization available to take even more traditionally feminine races and make them more masculine, so they can be enjoyed by everyone willing to give it an honest attempt.

You can easily play this with a "everyone goes before someone goes again" rule. During this one shot Matt called people for their turn a few times to spread actions more evenly. This system might get weird if your table is stacked with power gamers, but it's fairly easy to see that daggerheart is not made for those people anyway.

I loved the fact that they were actually live again! Felt like a true return to form! As for the system, I liked it and can see a lot of potential. My one concern seems to be echoed by quite a few people and that is that without initiative I could see quieter players being skipped over and not really having their time to shine. I personally like the no initiative aspect, but am curious to see how they combat that issue.

@Awkward_Ramble Ай бұрын

Something I really, really, REALLY like about how this is set up is that character creation has options that would allow you to be exclusively RP and it wouldn’t take anything away from the game if there was no combat. Something I’ve pitched to my d&d group is a one-shot or campaign where it is exclusively exploration and puzzle based, which sounds amazing to me (for context, I like games like Myst). But when I actually tried gaming it out I realized so much of progression in d&d is combat based, so it felt like you were cutting off a limb because there are so many features that would just kind of sit there. But with Daggerheart I’ve already built out about 12 different characters that you could play a non-combat archeology campaign where all you do is explore and flesh out the world and solve puzzles and mysteries linked to different regions, cultures, and histories. Think the new Tomb Raider games, but if you were just exploring an ancient culture and solving complex issues and puzzles rather than constantly battling a shadowy and power hungry organization. (Dreamy sigh) Now, a disclaimer: despite how this ☝️probably sounds, I don’t dislike combat. Having said that, it has been a LONG time since I’ve seen a dungeon delved that didn’t have a two hour long combat interruption while making discoveries, which is kind of what prompted the thought of “what if there wasn’t combat”. It honestly sounds like a cool kind of dynamic shift from a hero-v-forces of evil concept to a “there’s so much knowledge lost to time, so let’s find it” concept. That, and I’m a massive nerd.

@nojusticenetwork9309 Ай бұрын

I get the appeal in theory but I see problems that can arise from it. 1. You are intentionally/unintentionally blocking out players who DO enjoy combat in some capacity. Which is probably a good chunk if not the majority of the ttrpg community. Even Daggerheart has combat oriented classes and abilities. 2. After the novelty of the experience wears off, it can quickly become boring to not have variation in the gameplay loop. 3. Exploration and dungeon delving often results in the GM talking A LOT, so an entire campaign of just that is exponentially more. As a GM myself, I try not to talk beyond what I need to despite how much I enjoy my own voice. And even with a party that likes to RP amongst themselves, there is only so many times they can do that before they are looking to the GM to actually give them something to do.

@Awkward_Ramble Ай бұрын

@@nojusticenetwork9309 I mean 1) It wouldn’t be “blocking” anybody considering the concept would be discussed with the group before anything could even be initiated. 2) RP isn’t exclusive to the delve and would include societal interactions and attempts at gaining information from locals and sources that could payoff during puzzle solving, trap interaction, finding specific information you’re contracted to find, ect. Even better if the puzzles are difficult and a trip back to the surface for additional attempts at finding pertinent information becomes suggestible. So “novelty” isn’t a word I would associate with something that has this much innovation potential, and also feels kind of dismissive to games like Myst or Nancy Drew where the entire point is exploration, discovery, and interaction with a complete lack of combat. 3) If it was just five hours of a person behind a screen talking then I would suggest a podcast. It’s meant to be collaborative and interactive. The teamwork of solving puzzles, untangling information, discovering secrets, and finding ways to wheedle, bribe, intimidate, or charm information from people is all PC based and, if we were to go off the map marking process from the group character creation video, even what has the potential for discovery would/could be a collaborative process. People actually interested in this would be coming in with the knowledge that narration would have a little more heft, but group discussion, personal backstories, individual interaction, and conflict between PCs and NPCs would still be primary facets of gameplay, especially since I doubt players would just sit there and twiddle their thumbs if they felt unfulfilled with the process. So I can appreciate the perspective, but most of what you mentioned seems like a bit of a short sighted view, especially when considering combat is 1 of about 20 other aspects that are provided when playing a social narrative game. ACOFAF on Dimension20 is a great example where if they didn’t have the hunt, a duel, or the final combat at the end it wouldn’t be some massive impact to gameplay or narrative, and the latter two could viably be replaced with scenes designed around social exposure and consequences, a tact that is actually switched to during the duel when Andhera interrupts what is ostensibly a death match only for the scene to segue into a new social alliance and an attempt from Hob to humiliate the Court of Wonder.

That subtle feeling of being live is a heady feeling for actors. It can fill them with nerve and keep them on their toes in a way a camera can’t. They don’t see the audience, but they know in the back of their minds that we are there. That’s why it feels different without a clear reason to point towards. It’s all subtle mind stuff, but it makes all the difference.
