2 months agoI see Daggerheart as a possible introduction to PBtA style games most strictly DnD tables may be willing to try. License-related news turned me off the game, I was indifferent before. But I’m happy that it inspires enough interest in tables who refuse to try any other game than DnD. There’s nothing wrong with only wanting to play DnD, it’s just a pity to miss the opportunity to experience other styles that may be more enjoyable to the groups who force DnD to fill a roll it’s not equipped to.
I don’t know if it would work for anyone else, but chewing gum keeps me occupied when inattentive and watching something, or any activity where I’d be snacking without noticing.
Other comments mention many other options. But sometimes, none of the tricks work, and that’s usually due to a stressed+bored combo.
