I standby "off" not bad. It's just overly *legal-sounding* in a TTRPG sphere where we many of us are now scarred by that!

For most indie games to even get off the ground, I'd say required. CR is great at marketing, so sure, less necessary in this case, but I see 3PP like an incentivized force to spread the word about a game you enjoy. An important support pillar for any game.

If a new license is out of the question, an explicit break down with non-jargon guidelines would go a LONG way toward extending the lifespan and widespread adoption of Daggerheart.

A spectrum from cute to threatening based on scale. Just a little guy: cute. The bigger the guy, the more threatening. Not sure what the item is, so hard to say.

Emails, video scripts, completely hypothetical conversations, this reply. If no one is in earshot, I am thinking aloud or kinda out loud but under my breath, while also cis man! There are dozens of us!

It's all about moderation. Deleting most social media and running into the woods for mere hours at a time can go a long way!

Initial impressions:
- GM turns much faster than 5e
- player turns more flexible and cooperative
- still love the ‘just roll damage’ of Into the Odd
- still love the roll-high checks/saves of dnd
- other dnd-isms like perception checks and squares are holding it back for me

These look awesome!

Thanks so much for playing Delve! :)
The est times are intentionally broad, based primarily on mine and the other authors' exp running small dungeons, and our playtests aligned with that. For any individual group, it mostly comes down to the number of PCs and how long their combat turns take.

After that, we dagger the heart and I’ll probably have new things to say about the game. Or after watching Age of Umbra bc it looks awesome.
For now, the book is gorgeous—thank you @darringtonpress.bsky.social for sending it 🐸

Some folks have been asking, but there are no new daggerheart vids from me yet bc I only just got the book! My group has actually been gearing up for a mini-campaign with Nimble RPG.

First I posted a pic of the Ribbet’s ancestry page bc frog guys are cool, then immediately deleted bc I remembered we’re not supposed to show the interior until May 20.
Soon, frog man. Soon.

Trolls must learn that speech is free, but no one has to listen.

You are not alone! I record outside to force the outdoors into my schedule, and a lot of people seem to like the scenery if nothing else. One day, we should go on a hike 🌳

I *try* to not use the internet/streaming after 9 PM. When I succeed, the books are there!

I get a lot of free review copies, and I give away 99% percent of it at cons. But these two little books are definitely gonna stay on my shelf for a while. Might have to make a video about them at some point.
Thanks for reading!

Saved my favorites for last: “&&&&&&& Treasure” and “Volume 2 Monsters &” by Luke Gearing. If you ever had at lease a phase of liking poetry, the monster book is a must-have. Beautifully concise world building. The treasure book is loaded with inspiring items…

The D&D Young Adventurers books are such fun. Almost the “Basic 5e” I wish for. Love the art, love the tone, love that they feel like 2014-2022 D&D before the OGL emotionally damaged me. Review copies from Penguin Random House.

Outcast Silver Raiders. More of a skim than a read bc the content warnings are intense (see pic). But in what I’ve read so far of the setting and the magic system of ritualized spells, I want to read more! Review copy from EF.

Old School Essentials aka OSE. I never understood why every review talked about its amazing layout more than the game itself. But I finally got it, and I finally GET it! lol
Review copy from Exalted Funeral.

Dungeon Denizens by Goodman Games is a ton of fun! I’m not a big bestiary guy, but many of these monsters hit the “pre-genre fantasy” theme of DCC. Also I have a monster in here, and this is a review copy.

After picking up those Hobbit tapes though, I am very interested in checking out the original BBC broadcasts from before this was turned into a novel.

I was surprised based on how much I liked the first one, and bc I know Grace likes these books (more significant than their status as literary classics). But yeah, in book 4, even the author had several lines like ‘you probably want to skip to the last chapter’ so that crushed my motivation.

Depending on how you count anthologies, this is books 8-11ish of 2025 for me.
First novel was excellent, second was good, the third kinda lost me, and I quit like halfway through the fourth!
