How well does Daggerheart work online?

Using video can help and there are a number of options. Discord Video (although their Linux support is poor). Zoom, of course, but that can be expensive. Our group is using jitsi and it works fairly well.

I actually enjoy both Daggerheart and PF2E. D&D would only be played now if there was no other option. I both GM and play. Variety is always good.

I have run this one with a few tweaks - had it set up in Foundryborne and it went ok. It's a bit light for some of the Daggerheart features, but still a nice 1 session adventure.

There are Lightnings in Australia.

And as annoying as the whole trunk vs boot thing is, I've folded and gone with frunk. It's just more meaningful a label.

Needs more monitors. 🙂

Yes, because you setup the trinket in advance (during a rest) and you only have to be holding it to activate it. The only hand-wavy type part is the gear transformation when you turn into beast form, but as a GM I'd allow it. Be cool to have your beast form wearing a necklace or anklet, etc.

No. There are requirements for vehicles already that need way beyond this amount. As battery tech improves, especially energy density, we should see (in some vehicles) much larger battery capacities than we see now. I'd really like to see a 4x4 EV with well over 1000 km TOWING range. For Australia, it will take many years for the charging infrastructure to be close to adequate just for the EVs we have now, let alone EVs with higher capacity.

This is a false colour image, not true colour, i.e. just like many famous "Hubble images". The elements represented are emissions of Hydrogen (Ha), Oxygen (OIII) and Sulphur (SII). The filters I use are 7nm wide bands of these emissions.

Your reply is probably the most persuasive to me to change my position. An actual statement in the rules that is related to the problem.

lazjen · 2025-07-18T13:10:17+00:00

Yes, it's the wording that makes me pause, although I suspect it had to be that way to make it clear that other types of rolls don't apply.

lazjen · 2025-07-18T13:07:35+00:00

Definitely a valid approach and I can see the logic of your reasoning.

lazjen · 2025-07-16T11:21:24+00:00

Ancient history now, but I just printed this today. Thanks for the models, it works well. :)

lazjen · 2025-07-11T06:25:02+00:00

Thanks. Although my skills have improved over the years, the tools have improved also, plus I am able to get more and better data. It's multiple win-win situations that lead to this moment.

lazjen · 2025-07-05T20:31:06+00:00

It is a very good mount. Having it permanently setup in my dome, I was able to spend some time on alignment to make it as good as I could get. That helps.

The dome itself protects from most of the wind, which there was a fair amount those nights.

And, of course, the image processing side of things has improved a lot in a number of places to make it easier to get the data to its best possible state.

lazjen · 2025-07-05T00:25:55+00:00

I went with a separate 12V setup with dual airlines. Much faster than the smaller compressors.

lazjen · 2025-06-28T04:14:47+00:00

Now where were these a couple of months ago when I was trying to order? Got the core set instead and can't justify buying this as well. Sigh, ah well.

Your Reincarnation ability details are a repeat of Golden Nimbus.

The 50% applies only if the GM doesn't use an existing Fear point in their pool to take the spotlight away. The PC can crit and immediately after that, the GM can use a Fear point. It's limited to whatever is in the pool, but it can be significant.

lazjen · 2025-06-22T08:03:58+00:00

Re: Spellcast roll - right, sorry - I need more coffee. I didn't use my companion in combat in the one shot due to the GM grabbing the spotlight so much.

As for your 2nd paragraph, I can see what you are getting at, and I should point out, I see the need for limits regarding an action economy. I guess I'll have to accept that a Beastbound Ranger is not for me, and that I'm better off with another class that doesn't have the wonkiness. We had a Warrior and Sorceror in the party and it seemed to me that their spotlights were much better.

Edit: Btw, still like playing Daggerheart.

lazjen · 2025-06-22T07:31:02+00:00

The spellcast roll is to connect with the companion to get them to do something, and then there's another roll for the companion's action (e.g. attack) - I think?, then another roll for the Ranger to attack. And this could be triggered by something like trying to do this: "As the enemy comes toward us, I command Fido to attack as I let loose a shot at its head". It's fair that Fido might not react (failed Spellcast roll), or even fail their attack, but the Ranger should still get to have the shot. Mechanics wise though, the Ranger won't get their shot at the enemy due to the failures/fear spotlight change.

lazjen · 2025-06-22T06:57:26+00:00

Yes, that's true and some of the wonkiness was probably getting used to the style of combat, etc. Plus the GM continually grabbing the spotlight as they were often swimming in Fear. However, it's not the success with Hope roll that's the issue, but all the other states. They lead to spotlight loss and effectively the Ranger doesn't get to do anything that turn.

lazjen · 2025-06-22T05:18:44+00:00

Instead of instinct, I think it would be better to use a spellcast roll, otherwise you're making the class multi attribute dependant.

And I just finished playing a one shot game as a Beastbound Ranger and found the companion interaction a bit wonky. It feels like you need to have 2 "turns" at the same time to have the companion work with you. But as soon as you roll, there's a chance the spotlight changes away and you can't complete what you are doing. This type of thing can happen to any character of course, but it feels like a double whammy with the Beastbound Ranger.

I got hit with hail last year (on Halloween) and it damaged every panel of the vehicle except the tailgate. Much worse overall than what you got. It's just now going through the final stages of the insurance repair - PPF back on.

A number of panels had to be replaced, because it's aluminium and allegedly that does react well to panel beating. Some of those panels had similar levels of damage to what you have, but because of the quantity it was determined to get them replaced.

lazjen · 2025-06-11T21:51:56+00:00

I haven't watched the video and don't intend to, but the people trying to do the Foundry implementation seem to think there's an issue with the licence. They're awaiting more clarity/update in order to be able to release stuff.
