Re: TNs for starting character

Here’s another thing I don’t get - one of the big advantages of Attributes as TN is that players can supposedly more quickly report their success/failure without the LM managing it. But now the LM has to referee or at least note and answer rules questions should they arise on which bonus dice (Hope...

Re: Alpha - 1h/2h weapons

In my opinion, the larger problem is that axes are objectively better than swords, which are objectively better than spears. Somebody who wants to use a spear for roleplaying or character concept reasons has to take a mechanical hit, which I think is unnecessary. Francesco has said in the livestrea...

Re: TNs for starting character

Please try reading the whole conversation before being outright dismissive. I'm sorry if I sounded dismissive, but what you wrote was factually wrong. 1) I’ve very easily provided a situation where climbing a wall would require a roll. 2) maybe they only want to get to a ledge on the gate. 3) the c...

Re: Live stream by Francesco!

gyrovague: you can rewatch it on YouTube. I really appreciate Francesco and his demeanor. He is at once confident in his design while being willing to hear remarks and criticism. And yes, they only answered a couple questions, but for the better part of an hour, he went in great details about some o...

Re: TNs for starting character

Spending hope to get to 3 dice on your starter character to still miss 50% of the time feels very not nice Yes, but what did you expect from rolling a Skill with only 1 rank? If I'm a total novice but by spending Hope I could accomplish what a much more experienced character can do, than what's the...

Re: Thoughts on the appearance of 2e

d) I see that a lot of stuff got cut from the "Heroic Cultures" section. In the original, there were 5-7 pages per culture, but that's been cut to 2 each. I dunno if a lot of this got relocated elsewhere? I think I appreciated the older version, since it gave the players quick and immedia...

Re: Balance of Distinctive Features and Useful Items

Mythicos, I didn’t see the two statements as contradictory. They’re two distinct issues, not one problem that resolves itself, though I can see how you’d say that. The game can both be prohibitively challenging (ie I won’t even bother using that skill) and obnoxiously dice-farmy. If the solution to...

Re: Balance of Distinctive Features and Useful Items

It is kind of strange that “Useful” items are either taking the place of Cultural Rewards or of some enchanted items; I think useful should mean just that, but not “magical.” And probably not on par with Hope. Like obviously the Elvish rope and the phial of Galadriel would be magical items, not Use...

Re: Alpha rules playtest

Thank you... THIS is what this forum needs right now. I think we've just about exhausted everything from a theorycrafting perspective, and sort of need to see how test plays with actual playgroups go. Agreed +1000. Very interesting! One technicality question though - can your Ranger actually choose...
