Daggerheart... Doomed? Or Gamechanger?

#daggerheart #criticalrole #ttrpgs

Here's my impressions of Darrington Press's Daggerheart, based on open beta playtest materials released in March of 2024. Overall, it's an excellent, narrative based system. But is it too different from D&D for widespread acceptance? And what will this mean for the future of TTRPGs as a whole?
