rules because we've got our characters we're quite happy with how it all works we've got all the books and a lot of the adventure yeah the adventures quite a few people will be like we're going to wait till our next campaign before we switch sort of thing because yeah it does mean completely retooling the characters yeah exactly so i think we're just keeping this and also in honesty it's that campaign is we're playing dnd fifth edition 2014 characters
But the GM is using the Monstrous Menagerie from a level up A5E for most of the monsters. And the Adventure is actually from 3.5. So... But that's the thing.
But that's the thing with D&D. You can absolutely just cobble together the bits you like. And because the core mechanic, Royalty 20, add your modifiers, you know, it's kind of there. You can do whatever.
But I know a lot of people are very excited to get their paws on the new copy of the book. So... Yeah.
But anyway, do you want to talk about a tabletop RPG that is not Dungeons & Dragons?
It is not. That fits the brief. Please carry on. Tell me about Elfquest.
Nice.
Have you played it?
I was about to say I haven't heard about it, but I like the art. There's an artwork they've got. You can see the link on EMworld. But it looks very 80s, and I assume they're keeping that, which is really nice because it does feel like a... It's a reprint of a nostalgia product, isn't it, really? Yeah, basically.
So it's one of those, if you're like, oh, I used to play that in the 80s, and I really loved it. You can just get it again now if you... Because, yeah.
I had my suspicions.
I mean, I think this is going to be a real nostalgia purchase because obviously I think RPGs have come on, changed and grown quite a bit in mechanics and things like that over the last 40 years. So it might be one of those things that if you pick it up new, you might be like, I'm not sure if this stands up, but or maybe it will.
I don't know because I've not played the system because I always feel like HeroQuest like that for me. Like I love playing the HeroQuest board game because it's so nostalgic for me. but I had a friend play it with me once that didn't have that nostalgia, and they're like, this isn't that great. And I was like, and they talked about why, and I was like, I see what you mean.
I think for me it's just got that huge nostalgia factor. And I imagine Elfquest might be like that for people.
That feels just very 80s though, doesn't it? That feels like metal punk.
So it's not Star Trek because you're being elves and stuff.
I think it looks very cool. It looks very 80s, looks very nostalgic. I think if you played that, it's definitely one to get. And even have just as a collector's thing. I think it would be nice. Yeah, why not? Anyway, that looks cool. I like that.
Well, dagger heart.
Well, Russ, you'll be able to find out in spring 2025 when it is released. So pre-orders are now available, so you can pre-order the book, but spring 2025 is when they're going to be out and available. And Daggerheart, and people listening are probably going to be aware, but just in case, so it is Darrington Press, which is the publishing arm of Critical Role.
So they have made their own tabletop RPG. And we've heard about this and this and this. So they've already had Candela Obscura, which is like so different. And a lot of people really love it. I've played it. I really like the system. Some of my friends are running campaigns of it now because they're really enjoying it. And Daggerheart was meant to be more crunchy rule set.
