Can I get a more jpegified version?

Reminds me of all the people who believe commercials and advertising doesn’t work on them. Sure, that’s why billions are spent on it. Because it doesn’t even do anything. Oh it only works on all the other people?

That’s why it is so hard to get that stuff regulated. People believe it doesn’t work on them.

They have already been canceled.

A TV? I don’t have that.

Some games have so much setup required that it cuts too deep into the game time.

Imo Gloomhaven is only worth playing if you can leave everything on the table in the basement until the next session.

Polar bears love it.

I think a new system wants people to leave their current game which they love and play for the things their current system does well it. So it has to either offer something new it does, or something it does better than the alternatives. And because changing systems is usually not easy as you have to relearn lots of rules and also convince your group to do the same.

So a new system doesn’t only have to offer something new and/or better. It as to be so much better that it makes the effort of changing systems worth it.

And for my local groups it simply didn’t. I don’t think anyone thinks it’s bad. Just not good or different enough from what they tried to give it a go.

I agree it absolutely isn’t a good comparison. But the main response when I brought told my friends and local players about how Matt Colville and his company are making an RPG, they said ‘another youtuber RPG? Well daggerheart was pretty meh, I hope this is better.’ or ‘We’ll if the crit role system didn’t stick I don’t know if this will.’ and similar answers. So I thought I’d bring it up preemptively. Matt Mercer also had a series of GM tips videos if I remember correctly. So maybe that’s where people draw the comparison? Idk.

I’m excited to see where it’s going and I am certain it will be a great game for what it’s trying to accomplish. Actual proper heroic fantasy with cinematic gameplay. What will do the game well is the lack of baggage and tradition as well as the absolutely huge amount of testing from community but also in house testers. I like what they have shown so far and I am sure I’ll run it eventually.

On top of that the development is open and the game will have an open license. I really hope there will be a large community for it once it’s done.

I’ll check it out once it is finished and released. While I’m not interested in running sessions of a playtest version myself I will eventually get the books when it is fully out.

What critical role has shown to me and at least around my local community, is that popular content creators putting out a game isn’t enough. The crit role game systems weren’t all that unique and well designed from what I have seen. They work but I’m not sure what they are trying to accomplish that hasn’t been done better. Therefore after initial interest nobody around here stuck with the systems at all. But I think the mcdm RPG will have a solid foundation and might actually stick around. It does something I haven’t seen much and does it better and more focused than I have seen so far.

I’d be curious if anyone around here has played the playtest yet and got some insights?

Only if the website is part of the product. Like if to use the product I have to login on the website or am forced to regularly use it or whatever. Then if it is advertised as 100% open source I’d probably be like ‘is it though?’.

I was a bit worried that if might come across as that. But it’s more about sharing a positive story I think.

I’m not giving those away. Too many memories.

I’m moving to Pathfinder 2e anyways after this campaign ends. I do still own another copy of the PHB which my daughter uses for her games. So I’ll have to break the news to her that we have to share that one now. And one of my players agreed to lend me his monster manual for now.

That was the main reason I posted this. I thought I would enjoy seeing this on here.

If it has anything close to the impact dnd had on me it’d be amazing.
