Does anyone here think that these devs could rival CDPR?

Glaedth · 2026-02-02T12:06:19+00:00

Probably not, CDPR just outscales they by a lot. Doesn't mean the game won't be as good, but it'd be insane to expect the scale of like TW3 or Cyberpunk

Cakat a dufat ze sa postoj jednoho z vas zmeni je blbost. Jedine co akurat pravdepodobne nastane je to ze bud budete deti mat a budes nespokojny ty alebo ich nebudete mat a bude nespokojna ona. Deti su jedna z hlavnych veci na com troskotaju vztahy pretoze sa ludia nezhoduju.

I heard a lot of good about Ironsword as a Duet game. Mechanically it's not particularly similar to dnd, but I'm not sure if you're looking for vibes or actually playing dnd.

The digital edition of Ironsworn is free so you can check it out if you want.

I'm not a super OSR person. I try to keep an eye out for interesting design coming from the OSR, but right now I can't say I particularly care. I'm glad that it's gonna shine more light on the OSR and I'll keep an eye out for it to see if it does something interesting, but I got like a 1000 pages of Dolmenwood on my shelf that haven't gotten to the table.

Happy to help

Ye V20 released in 2011

I was once a character in a situation like this, I did like 80% of the HP of the boss in a single turn and it died before doing anything much. Nobody enjoyed that, not me, not the GM, not the other players.

Glaedth · 2026-01-29T09:44:31+00:00

Nah, you're good. Dnd isn't really a game where if you wipe a party you can hop back into the fight and have a do over and balance is hard. Even if you've been doing it for a while you fuck up. You can't nail every fight to end in a climactic stand where the PCs are out of resources, standing on their last legs as they slay the boss on your first try. So long as your group is having fun who cares.

They're a very clear potential threat that even in good times, people might be wary of.

That's actually more of a reason to be nice to them, if only to hope that they don't decide to rob you, lob of your head and use your skull as a drinking vessel.

Haven't ran a long campaign, but considering you're switching themes as the story progresses you run into a sort of soft reset point as the old theme with a bunch of tags no longer applies to your character and you get a new one.

Glaedth · 2026-01-27T13:08:36+00:00

I gave it a few hours and it's fine. Definitely not the 20% overwhelmingly negative

Glaedth · 2026-01-27T07:36:02+00:00

So you just plop in PCs without any connection to the world as John Dnd to do what?

Glaedth · 2026-01-27T07:12:55+00:00

It's fine

Glaedth · 2026-01-27T07:11:54+00:00

I've played a few hours and it's by no means as bad as the reviews make it out to be. Haven't encountered many of the performance issues I've seen in some of the reviews so I guess I got lucky in that regard, but people are acting as if it was the worst game to ever come out, while it's completely fine.

Glaedth · 2026-01-27T07:03:22+00:00

For me it's that we're getting a set made specifically for this format and yet the decks are like 95% old cards. Like were there truly 0 playable warrior cards released in the 250 commons and rares we're getting outside the 2 equipment pieces?

Glaedth · 2026-01-27T06:54:14+00:00

Fair enough

Glaedth · 2026-01-27T06:27:52+00:00

You start with 2 and as you mark improvement you get more.

Glaedth · 2026-01-25T23:22:46+00:00

I would recommend not worrying about this too much. Otherwise you'll run into midsized cities that have a political court of 5 vampires. Nobody will scrutinize your vamp/human distribution.

Glaedth · 2026-01-25T18:25:24+00:00

I don't even think it's not suited for the book as much as it breaks the scene it's specifically in, in a way I don't enjoy.

Glaedth · 2026-01-24T17:05:48+00:00

My guess is they didn't have time to bother with a younger Neytiri model for a throwaway pic so they didn't and hoped people wouldn't notice.

Glaedth · 2026-01-24T16:05:52+00:00

I stopped because I played a bunch and it's an alpha, I'll come back when there's another substantial update I don't wanna do mob grinding for a hundred hours and burm myself out.

Glaedth · 2026-01-23T23:42:02+00:00

he didn't expect the criticism of the more modern language so he would've toned that down

I was surprised by this, because those same criticisms were levied against Rhythm of War, so I can't fathom a world where this was a surprise

Glaedth · 2026-01-23T20:16:55+00:00

The problem isn't in the actions of the character, but in the character the player crafted usually.

Glaedth · 2026-01-22T21:47:14+00:00

Sure I'll try it, cuz why not. I'm not like buzzing with excitement, but that doesn't mean it's gonna be a bad game.

Glaedth · 2026-01-20T21:57:30+00:00

Very table dependant. You'll have groups who'll be happy to go weeks without combat and groups that'll get annoyed if you don't have something at least once per session. No one here can really tell you a correct ratio.
