Hearthborne and Frostborne seem to be two of what I wished for — still surprised these aren’t in the base game, though! www.daggerheart.com/wp-content/u...

Like, Fafhrd would be Frostborne, Frodo and Taran would probably be Hearthborne. These seem genre-common.

I’m digging the trad/indie love child vibes.

I initially avoided it because I thought, “Eh, generic heroic fantasy driven by Critical Roll’s brand success.” But now I’m interested is seeing how this trad/indie love child works.

Which implies either:
1. How you buff your rolls is critically important (like in Forged in the Dark or Fate), or
2. The system is built around the assumption of middling results (like Forged in the Dark or Powered by the Apocalypse)

Like you roll 2d12 and add the results for most things. That is VERY different than 1d20 because it’s a bell curve instead of a flat probability distribution.

I disagree with all Ford’s policies but he’s got his elbows up like almost all our leaders across party lines right now.

His specific approach is… well, I’ll just say it can be nice to have the one friend who’ll offer to slash someone’s tires.

I had no idea the FR was ever not the generic bland wedding chicken of fantasy settings. Thank you for sharing this!

This system is *built* for shenanigans and my table loves it for that.

One of my players decided to do a Sway attack against the crowd with "Play to the Crowd", to get NPCs to join the final battle, and a little old lady ended up being *clutch* hitting the final boss over the head with a vase.

I feel like some of these could *suggest* "thirst trap" but that's up to the table's interpretation. This art's technically a miner, but he's been compared to a dwarf romance cover: scryfall.com/card/mir/169...

We're going to hit a point where you can't be a politician unless there are drunk pics of you online. No drunk pics means you're too suspiciously clean.
