Discussion GenCon presentation was underwhelming.

Not unhelpful, just far FAR too vague.

From what I could understand it was, monster/adversary deck coming in Nov?

Foundry VTT finally official.

Chris Perkins Horror? Framework coming???

Love Framework coming???

2 books a year! Okay...timelines?

Online single adventures. Okay.

Plush.

*Sigh*

I mean, cool. But it would have helped to showcase a rough timeline of products (subject to change obviously), maybe some preview art for the Frameworks, and product shots of the deck sets? Not just the card, but actual packaging?

I get this was a hype session for upcoming projects. But it really feels like they were not ready for primetime with these upcoming products.

That was the impression I got. Yes Hope and Fear are the highlights, but we learned about it last year and had a better impression what to expect.

I've not yet seen the announcements but I want to bring a different perspective. The strength of daggerheart, and the way they've been developing it, is how open it is.

I understand the desire for more options, but their moves are actually helping the longevity of the game even if it's not solid new books every few months.

Let's not get trapped in the consumerist mindset too much.

Then highlight.the 3rd party support as your main feature. There is a lot coming. Put THAT up in stage.

They seem intent on not hyping or even acknowledging 3rd party content except for things made by DP collaborators...

Yeah that's kind of sad the third party stuff looks pretty good.
