Less offensive, but PERPLEXINGLY BAD is a superhero game I picked up for the laughs "The Blood of Heroes"

Always glad to see a new vid Curt. Personally I'm a free speech advocate - if you are a disgusting human like the maker of Fatal, make it, and the rest of us will know to steer clear of your sick self; if you are THIS BAD at making games [the FATAL maker] just write your weird fiction/manifesto.

Good points all around

from a power-creep POV, i would say if you allow Planescape/Spelljammer/Dragonlance/Eberron backgrounds in 5e, it is basically the same. Also post-Tasha classes fit right in. There is just a very large power range in regular 5e, that WotC are also addresssing with their 2024 edition. It is basically a 2024 5e, before that came out.

loving playing DC20 even though its still in development and its still so much better done with DnD for good

There are a lot of conflicting stories regarding this but it does feel like something wotc would do This is what happens when you fire 90% of the staff who actually did the work

Yet these content creators keep supporting WOTC. They are slow learners, I guess.

there appears to be a lot of missing details and missing context

JorPHdan should live-stream the shredding of the 2024 PHB, He’ll earn far more than the book cost him and send a clear message to WizBro, “No more support for your trash behavior here”.

Well it’s WotC so I can believe that

Just wait until they send the Pinkertons in!

hey that's me, thank you

Humans have another massive advantage that is often ignored - in that they prompt a neutral reaction adjustment from the majority of other races. If you're using Charisma liberally, and reaction adjustments regularly, you'll see just how punitive this can be for demi-humans. Contextual(!) racial hatred applies, and things can get tricky when you're trying not to get killed by an overwhelming force of Orcs, who are happy to deal with humans, but HATE elves... but you have an elf in the party and their presence is reducing your neutral response to a hostile one.

You sighed all the way through the video and you haven't even read the players handbook 🤦‍♀️

Coming soon. Seths back to school catalog

Thanks for pointing that out. I should have made it clear that this was an enclopida of all skill not necessarily a skill system

Humm ill have to add the never done this before rule

I used a lot of stock art

Hey i made this Thank you

I never got the complaints of the "undermonitized" comment...yes, please, WoTC sell me something! In 10 years there were only 3 player facing books.

So you‘re saying that during the 4th Edition Era, Pathfinder wasn‘t THE DnD Killer?

I recently had the TofV physical books arrive and they are making me tempted to get rid of my core WOTC 5e books based purely on the fact that TofV books are stitch bound, not glue bound. I'd much rather have the more durable book, but if you're already deep into 5e I for sure wouldn't recommend it and do feel as though I got wrapped up in the hype of it all

The main reason I haven't switched to that one is because I have a library of fantasy systems. I have way more than I'll probably ever play but Castles & Crusades and Wasted Lands by Elf Lair Games, was and are my alternatives. I just don't need any more fantasy systems. I'm exploring other genres at this point.

You basically said everything that I thought of when it came to seeing what ToV was going to be like. I have copius amounts of problems with 5E. Hit point bloat, PC's being made stronger with every new expansion, but monsters staying basically the same, and the expectation that I am supposed to write out an entire story with an over-arching narrative, and then read my players several page backstories and then fit all of that into the plot. Any derivative of 5E will, without a doubt, inherit these same exact problems, and thus I've sworn off the epic fantasy genre all together because none of them fix any of the issues I have with the genre. Daggerheart, MCDM RPG, DC20, Tales of The Valiant; I will not be buying any of these games. My efforts are much more appreciated by OSR style games, and I've been buying and playing those non-stop for months.

Hasbro is the D&D killer...

Good video Yes WotC lost me as a customer after all their debacles. This history book they ruined is something I would have bought but not now. I wish DC20 well

I was an ARPG player. The BG3 has sparked in me an interest about TTRPG. I learned I am not able to create my dream character in 5e. Than I found and tried the DC20. It is perfect for me. But everybody is different. So I think it is good for TTRPG space to have yet an another option to choose from. 🙂

I love DC20, never going back to D&D.

Im not impressed with DC20.

We know never to trust Wotc, & the new book on the making if the game has a shitty warning in it too.

When announced, I was so excited. I own more KP books then WoTC. I even have Project Black Flag shirt sold in first month. However as more and more information released it was just a 5.5 edition of DND. I was really hoping for something new and fresh. I understand KB wants all their previous books to be compatible, but really wanted something new from them.

They wanted a compatible but in there minds better game than 5e. So it’s not a new game system but it’s a different take and many people don’t want to deal with wizards and there mess.

Can't say I've heard of it before.

They screw up calling it Tales of the Valiant. They also thought they would be the next pathfinder.

I’m a big kobold press supporter, so this is a biased take. But I’m excited to play ToV. Starting our new campaign using the new ToV books and other KP books like Tome of the Heroes. I understand the criticisms of it’s too 5E like. I think they could’ve made more rules improvements to be the “better 5E”. But it worked for us cause my players like 5E and don’t wanna learn new games sadly. So it kept us playing D&D and me no longer spending money on WotC or Hasbro.

I don't think anyone saying that it's a Dnd Killer (at least the videos I have seen) are arguing that DC20 will take the number one spot. It's mostly just click bait titles, but the game will likely do well amongst DnD players.

Project Black Flag was in the development stage before the OGL crises. This just sped it up. Also, they said it would be different to 6e BEFORE the creative commons development FROM WOTC. So then they put out an article explaining that they decided to use the now legally accessible meterial from 5e and fix it's issues. And that it would be 5e compatible, that way everyone wins. You get to have your 5e game, you know and love, but also improved with classes fixed, details on ways to use items you have on you and their DC checks, etc... They were upfront about all of this. I was bmed too when they announced this. But then I tried it out at Koboldcon and it was fun as hell. Thier Luck Point system is very fun and such a joy to use as a Fighter. The weapon option feature makes it fun to be a non castee. (Something I hadn't experienced in 5e's version) Some people want to have a completely new game but a non WOTC version of 5e worth the try. You may love it like I do! Join the Kobold Press Discord for playing it and watching thier weekly videos etc..

Hasbro is the D&D Killer

also those 203 results for adventures are including all the 5e modules that have made previously

I am a big backer of TOV, I have not gotten my books yet from kickstarter but I do have the pdfs. I changed to TOV from hasbro cause of the crap they have pulled in recent times. Since the OGL I have been playing Shadowdark until TOV shows up. Personally I might stick with SD as it has the best old school vibe.

Absolutely. I like the game a lot but way too many people throw out “D&D killer” as a way of grabbing attention and it puts unrealistic expectations on the game. It can be a good game without destroying a competitor that has been going strong since the 80s.

As far as I'm concerned, Dnd went belly up the day Wizards gained hold of the IP, and when gary passed right before 4e. Since 4e, it's been downhill from there. Castles and Crusades or hyperboria or basic fantasy is my go to for dnd. Not this woke and broke crap grand wizards puts out.

dude script and edit your videos

Great video, and thanks for the shoutout!

Hey the digital release was in May of this year…The Kickstarter Backers and Preorders are being fulfilled as I type this comment…physical copies will be on sale and at flgs by the End of July or in time for Gen Con…

Agree. AD&D 1st Edition DMs Guide and especially the Castles & Crusades Castle Keepers guide are the best and ideal books to learn and understand how to be a DM/GM. ❤

I think "Tales of the Valiant" was a pretty terrible name. I think it made them lose momentum.
