I'm waiting for Goodman Games to come out with an adventure module that's not in the OSR vein. Since they released a book called How to Write Adventure Modules That Don't Suck in Jan, it'd be interesting to see if their adventure modules don't suck. The problem is, if you design an OSR adventure module you have an excuse for it sucking because modules generally did back in the day.

Nice to see Traveller is still going. Age since I played.

There is a Humble Bundle with a bunch of Traveller stuff going at the moment. Not sure how recent the sources are, but fyi.

So, Daggerheart RPG finally arrives huh. Anyone tried it, read any reviews, etc.?

I haven't tried it, though I downloaded the SRD to look at things.

I have to mention Grimwild there is a free version of the rules located here on Drivethru. They also have a paid version which includes a bit more goodies.

I was a backer, and have become enamored with the nature of the cinematic rule set. It is a lot like an updated FitD, but with some additional tools. Really plays well, IMHO. Some like to call it a better version of Dungeon World. I think it goes much further than that. I think it is a new take on narrative gaming, which aims towards the fantastical cinematic end of the narrative spectrum.

Needless to say Nem, I think you should give it a read.

I'm reading it now, thanks, Pande!!

I've also watched a few reviews of Daggerheart and it seems to be a well-received, high quality interpretation of 5e fantasy with simpler, less swingy mechanics and board game-style cards instead of character sheets. Reviewers seem most surprised that it isn't more different/unusual.

But perhaps the most pervasive criticism of D&D 5e is that it's too inaccessible to new players. So, making a more accessible alternative with visual aids and more predictable results makes a lot of sense. Maybe that's what the aim of Daggerheart is.

Wel your review makes me want to give Daggerheart another look. So thank you for that.
