I'm not complaining, more new games the better, and some of them are very interesting.
Also, at least some of these youtubers turned devs have tried Pathfinder and that wasn't it, so spare the "why won't they just play Pathfinder?" comments
First thing that comes to mind is Daggerheart by Spencer Stark and Matt Mercer, but yes this happens multiple times.
Can't wait for Matthew Colville's inevitable TTRPG design!
Me too, I backed the project but I'm not on the Patreon, so I gotta wait for my packet, lol. But if James was right in the last Q&A they posted to the YouTube, it should be out sometime next month!
I don't think I understand this meme template. Also am I going blind or is the text kind of small and blurry?
Do people still make fantasy heartbreakers? That's where someone's only really played D&D sets out to make their own game. It's full of passion and enthusiasm, but it kind of sucks because it doesn't stray far from D&D. So you get a "creative new breakthrough" that's like "our six stats go from 1-10" instead of, like, "We realized we don't need stats like that at all"
There are many completely different TTRPGs out there, even ones that came from people who worked on/with D&D, such as Numenera (by Monte Cook who made many D&D adventures and supplements) and Daggerheart (made by a duo of TTRPG YouTubers/streamers)
The type of person that gets deep into TTRPG systems for their rules design will eventually want to apply what they learned (or think they learned) towards making a system themselves. Like with any skill, you want to flex it once you acquired it.
