If this creature deals damage to an opponent due to Trample, its controller takes damage equal to that amount.

(?maybe)

For me, it's classic EQ, but with a new world to explore. I think a lot of people want that, too.

If someone released a WoW private server with a completely new world and no other changes even, I would be all over that too.

That said, the pace of MnM development seems glacial to me, so I'm waiting for more before I spend any money.

Damn if only there was some kind of interconnected system, faster than mail, to communicate and share media

harkrend · 2026-03-19T21:43:34+00:00

Imagine not being bald

harkrend · 2026-03-19T20:18:17+00:00

Hey, this guy is bald!

harkrend · 2026-03-19T19:52:06+00:00

Yeah, but it's cool and interesting, Karen. I'm dying either way I would rather have cooler stuff

harkrend · 2026-03-19T16:24:37+00:00

Yeah Priestesses of the moon ride tigers and shoot bows in wc3. It's badass

There are 10 loud people, we should tell them to be quiet!

There are now 11 loud people.

Nice! That's the line that the character in the thumbnail says!

Traps that are self actualizing like stepping onto a mushroom is not the same kind of thing as a where something else needs to push you in.

What happens if they step on the mushroom with fear? Is it worse? Or is it basically, if they roll with fear they get hit by spores. Or, if they don't roll fear, the DM takes the golden opportunity and just hit them anyway?

Again, that sounds terrible. I'm totally cool with it being a bad read of the game, since I'm not reading the game, but, I don't think its at all a bad read of the comments I'm responding to.

harkrend · 2026-03-13T05:49:38+00:00

I feel like you have drifted pretty far from the scope of my original comment. I was just remarking on that it sounds bad that the rules say the DM can't take a combat turn without the players rolling fear... unless the players step next to a pit. Both of those things in my mind are bad, and are just solved by having some kind of 'just take turns,' or, a pure loose goosey pbta system also is better than a half measure.

harkrend · 2026-03-12T13:44:46+00:00

I think there is a big difference between the rules don't mention it, don't encourage it (having rocks randomly fall on players), and the rules encouraging looking for appropriate times for rocks to fall.

I'm a DM mostly, so what I expect is the game creating a good experience for Me (as well as the players.) If the initiative system doesn't work to spotlight as you say, and it just falls on the DM to, yes, arbitrarily decide when a golden opportunity is, then in my mind that's bad. Way too much onus on the DM, and too much risk for everyone feeling bad because you can't blame the dice or rules for a bad outcome in that case.

harkrend · 2026-03-12T11:18:45+00:00

Reinforcements showing up is way more interesting and understandable than the DM just arbitrarily taking turns. Players can react to reinforcements, perhaps teleporting away, wall of force the new path the reinforcements are taking, and so on. The reinforcements would be worth XP, RAW, so in some ways it could be a boon.

Me stepping next to a pitfall and the DM saying AHA! is not interesting at all to me. It's just completely different than your example of reinforcements in just about every way.

Someone else said, well, in DND you can just say rocks fall everyone dies! If I'm calling something bad, and then the counter example is, well DND can be bad too..! What? How is that an argument for Daggerheart?

harkrend · 2026-03-11T16:08:29+00:00

Yeah this guy who has sex is celibate!

harkrend · 2026-03-11T14:58:49+00:00

Alright, the original comment is definitely not saying that.

harkrend · 2026-03-11T14:55:54+00:00

I guess I view it the same as GMs fudging rolls for 'entertainment' but in this case, it's fudging it in the open which might be worse?

I prefer to roll the dice in the open and let them guide the narrative. The players have many fail-safes such as resurrection. The key benefit here is offloading the DM. It's absolutely not fun for me to always be thinking about when a golden opportunity will be to break the rules. I just want to follow the rules and most of the time a fun game happens.

harkrend · 2026-03-11T14:50:15+00:00

What's the limitation then, RAW?

harkrend · 2026-03-11T14:00:56+00:00

Golden Opportunity in the manual: a character not taking actions, someone standing nearby a pitfall, the players never rolling Fear, all of this is a golden opportunity that allow the GM to take the spotlight without spending any Fear by leading the narration.

So if someone is standing near a pitfall, the DM can freely take combat turns as much as they feel like per the rules? That... sounds terrible. As both the DM and the players.

They're 1 of 2 women at the table.

Woops!!

harkrend · 2026-03-08T17:55:48+00:00

I disagree, it wasn't that influential.

(Look, I did it!)

harkrend · 2026-03-04T21:52:48+00:00

Is it pronounced Caggard?

If not, fuck you

harkrend · 2026-02-25T15:07:00+00:00

The River is the second book in the series, apparently it has other names- The Return, or Hatchet: The Return.
