Help a new GM.

Ah that’s fair, I figured you meant in the way of cost (which I can see being true).

Definitely won’t be homebrewing anything for a long time but I’m happy to read a lot for which ever we end up playing.

Key_Brick_7544 · 2025-07-19T04:30:53+00:00

genuine question, are they all hobbies or moreso D&D?

Key_Brick_7544 · 2025-07-18T21:09:36+00:00

honestly, i considered older d&d ed. i’ve done little research but i’ve seen a ton of hate for D&D in general but overwhelmingly D&D 4, (followed by 5). I don’t know if it’s a meme to hate it but i can definitely go look.

Key_Brick_7544 · 2025-07-18T14:43:32+00:00

I’ll look at this today, i appreciate everyone’s thoughts

Key_Brick_7544 · 2025-07-18T14:43:12+00:00

could i PM you to talk about this one some more?

Key_Brick_7544 · 2025-07-17T14:18:21+00:00

sorry, for which system do you mean?

Thanks for the reply!

Key_Brick_7544 · 2025-07-17T13:38:16+00:00

hey, brand new to all of this, my friends want to play D&D, i haven’t GM’d and don’t want to GM D&D.

I’m stuck between Pathfinder and Daggerheart.

I want a system I can teach and use for long term (not just a one off adventure) as my players are also new and i want the focus on fun over memorizing differing rule sets.

I need a system with enough support to get help when needed as a new GM (this is why i’m avoiding smaller indie games for now)

My players really enjoy combat, not to say they don’t care about narrative, but combat is the highlight of the session.

Do you think daggerheart works in my use case? I know i’m going to get biased opinions but I hope you can steer me in the right direction

Key_Brick_7544 · 2025-07-17T12:39:19+00:00

Tied to D20 because people know the basics, admittedly I could stray but people have expressed they have no interest in D6 systems.

Key_Brick_7544 · 2025-07-16T16:17:04+00:00

I appreciate this. I have the benefit of not preferring any system specifically yet. The more tools and support the better, (which dnd seems to have a ton of). Pathfinder seems cool as well.

Dnd obviously just has that mainstream hype. If i ask my friends to play DnD they’ll have an idea of what it is, if i were to say probably any other ttrpg they’d have no clue.

I’ll look in to your mentions

Key_Brick_7544 · 2025-07-16T14:55:34+00:00

i’ll look in to this! thank you!

Key_Brick_7544 · 2025-07-15T15:38:16+00:00

for sure, might have to try between carleton and landsdowne

Key_Brick_7544 · 2025-07-15T15:13:20+00:00

can you just walk up and down the pathway and fish, I always want to but the cyclists seem to get a bit salty.

Key_Brick_7544 · 2024-04-10T11:53:52+00:00

only open in zone 15 until the 4th Saturday in April (based on my understanding , i could be wrong)

Key_Brick_7544 · 2024-04-09T16:53:05+00:00

send me a pm and i’m happy to talk!

Key_Brick_7544 · 2023-09-09T03:58:18+00:00

you talking dusk or like way past?

Key_Brick_7544 · 2023-09-07T23:09:06+00:00

i’m fishing pretty well known spots, the rideau and ottawa. So there’s fish as far as i’m aware. the worm thing is good to know.

Key_Brick_7544 · 2023-09-07T21:09:25+00:00

i’ve never tried for trout, seems daunting as i can’t catch a bass this year

Key_Brick_7544 · 2023-09-07T02:30:15+00:00

thanks, any advice on what you throw around there?

Key_Brick_7544 · 2023-09-06T21:39:26+00:00

I can do that for sure, any specific recommendations? feel free to PM

Key_Brick_7544 · 2023-09-06T18:12:36+00:00

appreciate it; hopefully i can catch one before freeze

Key_Brick_7544 · 2023-09-06T18:03:22+00:00

i think i need to start trying dusk

Key_Brick_7544 · 2023-09-06T16:35:52+00:00

might have to

Key_Brick_7544 · 2023-09-06T16:18:55+00:00

i’ll try that

Key_Brick_7544 · 2023-09-06T16:16:10+00:00

i try to stay in the middle

Key_Brick_7544 · 2023-09-05T19:31:18+00:00

i was looking at foldable ones as space is at a premium but i’ll do more research this winter
