d&d 5e is a fine system, it’s just more than i want to gm and more than my friends want to learn. so simpler systems like shadowdark or black hack are really great for us, but if your group knows d&d 5e and has fun playing it, than why the hell not just play 5e?
my notes are mostly on paper, but i have a document with monster statblocks and items that can be found as treasure, thats quicker than riffling through paper.
players are free to use digital character sheets or lookup spells in a pdf if they like, i don’t care about your phone/tablet/computer as long as you are playing with us and not your phone and you are not distracting anyone, but if someone has to recap every turn for you because you keep using your phone, than we’d need a talk about if you actually want to be at a table.
iam not sure why they need such a complicated license anyway, shadowdarks license is basically “yeah, just don’t copy the art from the rulebook” and that seems to be working great and is easily understandable.
game itself seems fun, but people not publishing their adventures, because of an overly complex license might be an issue, because “porting” adventures to daggerheart does not seem like a straightforward process.
dread is awesome, sacrificing oneself by causing an explosion to collapse a mine shaft full of giant spiders and toppling that tower is one of the coolest things i’ve seen on a table.
