I’m definitely tempted to back just to support the channel. But I’m not sure the system itself would appeal to my group, who leans more narrative these days.
But I wanna learn more. Hopefully a QuickStart will be made before the campaign launches.
Ran the playtest adventure last night for my group. We started late so couldn’t finish the final combat, but over all everyone had fun, and said they would play it again.
They did have some feedback to give, mainly the warrior player did not enjoy the warrior that much. Which is something I’ve...
Ok, so, I got to play through the playtest adventure last night. As the cat-folk Ranger. And I had a blast.
I think the system really comes together in play. Gaining Hope at the right moment to trigger a cool ability is a great feeling. Similarly, rolling fear can increase the tension.
And not...
Except the obvious fact that they don’t want to make a DND clone?
The internet is wild. You got people complaining there are too many dnd clones, and then when someone shows up with a new game…. you got people complaining it’s not a dnd clone.
When CR got hired by Geek and Sundry, they were already playing a home game of Pathfinder. 5e had just come out at the time, and due to the simpler rule set, Matt thought it would work better for streaming than Pathfinder. Remember, streaming ttrpgs wasn’t really a big thing back in 2015.
Now...
I don’t think it’s a big mystery why a game publishing company (Darrington Press) would want a wholly unique game to publish. One that they own all the rights too.
Both games were in development before the WOTC fiasco. And Daggerheart already has more buzz and activity than Candela Obscura did. It’s gonna be a bigger hit. Will it have legs? Who knows. But to think it’s gonna be a blip on the radar is underestimating it imo.
I’m signed up for a playtest session this Sunday. I’m looking forward to it. Most actual play reactions I’m seeing (that aren’t YouTube drama channels) are pretty positive overall.
Well, I’m enjoying the game so far. Just making characters on demiplane. Each one is one I would be happy to play in a full campaign. I do plan on running some games for my group. Just don’t know when I will be able to do that yet.
Just finished the two seasons of “Resident Alien” that Netflix put up. Show airs on Syfy. But I enjoyed this show way more than i thought I would. Alan Tudyk is a treasure.
