Finally someone is talking about the mouthfeel.

This is not the crossover episode I would have expected to witness, and I'm delighted I did

Dwarf Tactician player here! Participating in that playtest with you was such a fun treat! About halfway through session I thought, "wait...this voice...that name. Isn't this the podcast guy?" XD Seriously excited how fast this game seems to be in development after more devs were brought on.

[@the_dice_society]

Hey, Robin! Thank you so much for being part of the party, I had so much fun. And yes, they seem to be full steam ahead at the moment... Almost makes me scared for the length of future episodes lol

[@reformedgnoll]

Thanks for posting this! It’s great to hear about the character creation process in so much depth.

[@the_dice_society]

You're welcome! Thanks for listening

[@DaCaldwell]

So, I played a Commander in DC20, it was super fun! The Commander I played was based off the Hausa cavalier (look up the Durbar festival). Listening to you describe the Tactician sounded exactly like the fantasy of my character when I was making him. This is going to be so fun! I might make the same character just to test the difference in feel.

This was a great listen. Good format with nice snappy segments

[@the_dice_society]

Thanks for listening!

Really looking forward to the license coming out and getting to make stuff! Do you think you’ll feature any fan work before the official launch of the game, or stick to just official sources?

[@the_dice_society]

I'm not sure yet! I'll cross that bridge when we get there ;P

[@9HPRuneScape]

Really awesome commentary- you really need some visuals for these long of videos imo 😅

[@matthewvillanueva4420]

Whats the feel of not rolling dice for damage? Needing to look up a chart, stuff like that?

[@the_dice_society]

It's not more complicated than rolling to hit, looking up the damage you deal, and then rolling damage. And it's a little faster because you only roll once

...mouthfeel?

Also, if you're online a lot, it's a Contrapoints reference.

Me personally, I can't pull the trigger on a new RPG system until I know how chewy the paper it's printed on is

[@CrapE_DM]

Fix the thumbnail, please

[@the_dice_society]

Good catch! Thanks for the heads up
