I definitely had wished that it left a lot of the DnDisms behind. I liked a lot of what I played in the beta though and am excited to try out the full version sometime.

A Similar To But Legally Distinct From Chocoboâ„¢

I liked what I played of the beta but it was very short lived. I'm hoping to take another crack at it in some months.

My group plays #pf2e and #fabulaultima weekly, with a #bitd Blades in the Dark game starting up next week!

I'm partial to 11, but I like 10 for its "roundness" in number.

With respect, that's s little silly no? If you're not going to play the game and want to support a coral reef charity, just donate to one directly.

There are lots of LFG (Looking For Group) communities online! Try joining some discord servers for the system(s) you want to play.

I'm a big fan of cyclic dungeon creation.

Switch to a better document reader which doesn't shove AI in your face.

Don't try to apply too much science realism to DnD or you end up opening a lot of dangerous doors. Peasant railgun standing by...

If it makes you feel any better, I'm cishet and famously roll like crap so it's not homophobic at least.

Fabula Ultima is pretty close.

Triangle Agency is high on my list of games to try after I play some Blades in the Dark next few months!

That's certainly a take.

Why does everyone pitch Daggerheart as being "from the team behind Critical Role"? As far as I can tell, Matt's the only one in the credits, and not even as a lead designer.

I thought the same way, but after a decade of that mentality I've enjoyed lightening the load a little bit with more fiction first games. Fabula Ultima is a nice middle ground, I find. It's nowhere near as crunchy as Pathfinder, but it's not exactly bare bones either.

In my experience, players want a little bit of hand holding, at the very least a big sign that says "the plot is over here". What players really care about is agency to affect the world, like you say.

I think you're reading into something that the article author is not saying. The headline is quite literal.

There's some caveats to this. If you're playing a prewritten module for games like dnd or pathfinder, a certain level of player buy in is expected and polite.

I agree, you do seem wrong.

Ask the GM for help. That is a *lot* for a new player to jump into.

Lots of players online!

Daggerheart seems to tick those boxes to the point where I'm suspicious if this post was a setup lol

Read, play games, watch movies/shows. Everything is inspiration.

There are other ttrpg systems which don't require nearly as much planning on the GM's part, or you could also run a prewritten module for DnD.

If you're implying I'm a Nintendo fanboy, you may be interested to learn I play primarily on PC and Steamdeck, and haven't turned on my Switch in probably a year.

Paizo is doing pretty cool things to be more inclusive of other cultures in their worldbuilding.

Well, given that it's in a much smaller form factor and portable, kinda yes?

There's a lot of communities online for finding groups! Consider joining some ttrpg Discord servers. Especially for DnD, there's dozens of groups looking for players every day!

Crash Pandas comes to mind, but Honey Heist is a really good choice.

Hell yeah, sounds like a blast! Fabula is so good.

I don't want to misrepresent your stance... are you implying that a typical DnD adventure is a "common-person adventure"? If I understand you correctly, we'll just have to disagree.
