Yeah daggerheart, draw steel, and Fabula Ultima are the next games on my list to try out!

Oh and I like some of the more unique ancestries and classes. If I ever get to play the system I will most definitely be a mushroom person syndicate rogue.

Looking forward to gming a one shot when I get a chance to. Maybe the added stuff for attacks will resolve quicker than I'm thinking.

- Lastly, I wish some of the book's advice was a bit more focused. There are a number of times where the book says something like "here are a few ways you can do this". As a GM I know I can do stuff however I want, but I want to know what the writers think is the best way to do it in this system.

- A lot of language used seems overcomplicating to me. I've played lots of systems with moves, but defining GM moves as anything a GM does to move the story along at any time, just sounds like it's whenever the GM does anything meaningful. Adding jargon for that makes things less intuitive to me.

What I'm not in love with:

- I see the idea with decoupling evasion and armor, but I suspect adding an extra check after rolling to hit for damage threshold, and the option of marking armor, will make attacks a little slow for my taste (I don't even like how long it takes with just the damage roll)

- Explicitly mentioning inclusivity on multiple occasions, from including pronouns in character creation to advising DMs to include diverse NPCs in their game.

A lot of tables already do this, but Daggerheart is a game that will reach a broad audience. It's good to shout out these values.

- Experiences and connections: I like establishing how a party knows each other before my campaigns, connections are a nice easy way to do that. Experiences allow each characters background to enter the game more often, which is great.

I had a lot of fun making the picrews for the NPCs in this one :)

(Picrews used: picrew.me/en/image_mak... and picrew.me/en/image_mak...)

I started reading Fabula Ultima this week! I'm hoping to run a one shot for my gm group soon. Glad to hear it plays well

100% my biggest awakening on this was realizing how rarely a perception check has ever made a session more fun for me 😅

A huge thank you to everyone who donated, everyone who submitted a game for the pride game jam, and every streamer who participated in the event.

After each Pride event I've been blown away by the generosity of the FE community and communities of my friends. ❤️
