Dark Alliance! So many memories of me and my best friend growing up playing that. Too young to find the grind annoying, just super excited to be able to buy the next weapon we imagined would be so much better than the previous.

This is happening later today! Hope to see you then.

Now slightly more Europe friendly time

Not much help I suspect, but I always track stamina digitally.

There’s the option of having the players track damage done to each creature, freeing you from the bookkeeping

It’d be great to have a video to reference to explain the "tell us the issues, not the solutions" approach you (and MCDM) have to feedback, I suspect

I play a lot of DS and I run DH. They both emulate heroics, but in satisfyingly different ways. I've ended up liking DH more than I thought I would. Some of the simplicity in the design on the GM side makes it joy to run after running 5e for 7 years. I do miss the combat from DS, though

"LOOK OUT!" - Classic monsters ambush Draw Steel heroes. In this project we take 20+ classic fantasy monsters and design them for Draw Steel. Just to add a little spice, we also designed harvesting mechanics to collect those monster parts and turn them into...

Two days before the launch I said to Caleb, "If we reach CHF 500 we break even. If we reach CHF 750, I will be ecstatic. I will be ASTONISHED if we reach CHF 1000."
The #mcdm community - "Hold my beer."
What can I say, but THANK YOU.

Ah. I think I see where we diverge. If I were the designer, I'd see cracks in where the game doesn't deliver as well as I imagine it should, and start to mend the cracks. It'd start with a rules tweak or two, and all of sudden I'd be working on the Revised edition.

I think players would do the same

I think we agree on this. I'm starting to suspect I'm burdening your words with bad faith.

I read "commit to discouraging... etc", as telling players "you must not change any of the rules, and you shouldn't play if you feel you have to."

When discussing the rules as they're written or intended to be used. 100% agree.

But I'm not going to police people's houserules. I won't hold others to a standard I won't follow myself.
