I've been invited to join a game of Daggerheart. I like the critical role people, but otherwise know nothing about the game. I haven't read much about it or anything yet. And I haven't seen a thread about it on Lemmy yet, so I'm wondering what the different opinions on it so far are.

People enjoying it? Not liking it? Mixed reviews, making it a sort of niche game? Any good or bad comparisons with other fantasy ttrpg's?

I've been wondering the same as I've been wanting to migrate to Pathfinder 2er, but I've also been considering other systems. I just don't have a lot of time or friends who play many TTRPGs.

Looking at the blog post Shyfer found, Pathfinder 2e and Daggerheart diverge from D&D 5e in opposite directions. PF2e puts a lot of emphasis on game balance, battlemat tactics, and specific named actions. Daggerheart looks to be quite loose with rules and trying to be cinematic rather than balanced.

They could both be good games, but Final Fantasy Tactics isn't going to scratch that Dynasty Warriors itch or vice versa.

Thanks for explaining it like that! It made a lot of sense.
