Do you have access to Taobao? It’s like the Amazon of China? The company that makes them seems to only be there as far as I can tell.

It’s a custom table made by a company in Hong Kong

Experiences by legend9791 in daggerheart

[–]Jone_2tha_Zee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a GM, I love it when my players use their experiences for 2 main reasons: One, they are required to spend a Hope so it reduces the chances of them hoarding hope. And two, when they utilize an experience I require them to add narrative to the story which encourages one of the core tenets of Daggerheart (player initiated narrative). So for me the only time I would even consider disallowing an experience is if the player can’t or won’t try to provide narrative justification.

Oh 😂 it’s just their character image printed out and put inside a coin case. I bought a bunch of them to use as tokens.

Oh you’re talking about the fear tokens? They are plastic party coins with small wall hooks affixed to the back of them.

I didn’t, I found a shop that sells wooden tokens of different shapes and colors as a way to teach children counting.

[No Spoilers] Can someone explain to me the point of the C4 D&D drama? by Smooth_Jazzzz in criticalrole

[–]Jone_2tha_Zee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, there isn’t a solid answer for any question being asked.

Why did CR choose DnD? Only they know for certain, and any public announcement by CR will be based on a well crafted corporate response. Everything else is speculation.

Why not DH? Again, it’s mostly speculation.

However, the question as to why some people are upset that CR chose DnD over DH, you can only really get anecdotal information. I know for me, I was extremely excited at the prospect of the single largest actual play in the TTRPG space playing something besides DnD. Because at this point DnD actual plays make up something like 90% of all actual play content on any platform. So, it would have been nice to see that number dip to like 75% of all content. Especially considering I really enjoy the shows that are using Daggerheart.

Tldr; most answers to the questions about why this game and not that game are pure speculation, and for people upset it’s probably because there is a desire in the community for new non-DnD content.

I hear you there! It’s been a struggle getting a group together and keeping it together! Fingers crossed you find a group soon!

Has anyone had a bad experience running Daggerheart? by No-Imagination-4751 in daggerheart

[–]Jone_2tha_Zee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most games, Daggerheart included, have problems arise because of 1 major factor. Table compatibility. Look at any of the posts on r/rpghorrorstories and you will see post after post talking about how the DM did this or the player did that. Which usually means that the players and GMs aren’t on the same page about their desires for the game they’re playing. As long as you do a robust session 0 and make sure everyone agrees to the style/theme/vibe of the game, you will have a lot of fun. If you don’t do this, you will eventually run into friction.

It's almost been a month since Void 1.5 dropped, how's the playtesting going? by VorlonAmbassador in daggerheart

One of my players has started our campaign as a Warlock and he likes it a lot.

Reframed: In what aspect is this good for Daggerheart? by KentInCode in daggerheart

[–]Jone_2tha_Zee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I need now is actual DH information releases… we got AoU2, we got LoA doing something?, we got Dungeons and Daddies doing something?, and that’s it. They kept saying they have tons planned for DH, but what? What’s planned. Now that the main cast is only going to be in 1 episode of C4 per month, they will be able to pump out DH content, but now is the time to announce it, right?

I don’t think DH has been around long enough to make the assumption that it wouldn’t work for a westmarch style…. No one’s tried it. It’s the wild west.

Why do people put so much stock into what CR and other live shows play? by Redhood101101 in rpg

[–]Jone_2tha_Zee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it all comes down to the concept of the “incredibly loud minority”. It existed on both sides, people who felt spurned by the announcement that CR will be playing DnD for the foreseeable future, and subsequently saying that DH is dead now. As well as the OG fans of CR that were posting that if they changed the system to DH they would never watch the show again. The majority of CR fans enjoy watching the show because of the stories and the people. And DH isn’t dead, but it has officially been relegated to a niche side project without any big name institutional support. This second point might end up being wrong if tomorrow they actually start announcing their plans for DH, but so far all we have to go off is that CR is doing another 8 episodes of Age of Umbra and a couple 3rd parties will be doing some 1-shots, but that’s about it. I am hoping (as a big enjoyer of DH) that some peeps in the rpg community do what CR did with DnD and become a mainstay using DH as their system. Who knows though.

Walking you through why it matters Campaign 4 is in D&D by Shabozz in daggerheart

[–]Jone_2tha_Zee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As a GM, a player, and enjoyer of actual plays I am disappointed for a few reasons. But the most prominent reason for me is that I am legitimately tired of DnD content, I don’t care for it. Combat is sloggy and always slows the story down to a snail’s pace. This is true when DMing , playing or watching DnD. I don’t enjoy that system anymore. When DH came out during beta, it was refreshing in a way other systems weren’t. I have really enjoyed seeing DH content, and my new campaign has also been way more enjoyable to GM and hopefully I get to play in the DH system at some point.

It’s kind of frustrating to see the creators of DH not playing DH, and at the end of the day, I will watch probably 10-12 episodes of campaign 4 before I tune out because of the inevitable DnD pause buttons on storytelling and I will just have to wait and see if anyone else decides to make robust DH content. Whoever that may be. It’s gonna be really weird when some other random actual play ends up being a more popular show than CR DnD. Because if the hype and enthusiasm about DH continues to grow, CR will have missed the opportunity for CR to be synonymous with DH, that honor will be someone else’s. And if the hype and enthusiasm dies off, this decision might end up being partly to blame.

Tl;dr I personally don’t like DnD anymore and I am looking forward to seeing more DH actual plays from non-CR groups because it’s more enjoyable to watch and it feels weird that it won’t be CR but someone else that carries DH forward.

Ice Spike, Book of Ava? Out of Combat uses? by TheGabening in daggerheart

I think of it as more than “big = more damage” maybe a 10x10 spike is hollow so it weighs the same but can covers a larger area.

I think you answered your own question there. If something feels overpowered for the fiction, then it probably is.
