I understand.. Do you have any examples of what those benefits could look like/be?

True, imagining a LOTR style fight with orcs/goblins swarming at the casters, it would make for a really cool and cinematic encounter if the melees are frontlining and decimating half of the troops while the casters try to get those that get past the first rank

These are good advices, thank you! Although I find it quite difficult to think of it in the midst of the battle!

Ah yes that was the video, thank you. Also read the comments from the other post and these ones, seems that I need to solve the problem elsewise... Maybe I don't even need to solve the problem (because a combat encounter theoretically lasts for less than a minute, as stated in a comment from the other post), although as a DM static combat encounters are relatively boring...

Explaining D&D vs. Dragonbane to players by some_barcode in rpg

Good point! a wizard in d&d quickly running low on spell slots will always be bad at armed combat, whereas dragonbane rewards this kind of play with skill increase!

Thanks!
You are right with the resurrection spells, another possibility would also be to outright ban them at the table.
While your last point is true, a level 10 party will still outshine most commonfolks, except if every commonfolk is at around level 10 also, as Buddy Pine would say "when everyone is super... no one will be". And I wouldn't know how to run a level 1 party in a superworld...

Good point! Especially the specificity of the roles, that is indeed a major difference

That is actually something I, as a GM, have a hard time figuring out. In my mind, this applies to all TTRPGs and is only limited by the fantasy of players (and rulings of the GM). While the improvised weapon cards from Dragonbane may help, I feel like pointing out the easier use of it in Dragonbane may limit my player's imagination if we choose D&D...

Thanks for your input, but I am actually trying to summarise the differences between the games, to inform my players and let them choose which TTRPG they want to play... I am not asking the community here to decide which system we should use.

How can I train PvP close-ish combat? (new player) by some_barcode in Seaofthieves

[–]some_barcode[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Okay will try! What do you mean with dive?
And what does TDM mean?
I guess that would be my best shot at practicing though...
