Is Daggerheart even a top 25 games as far as popularity goes? Like how common is finding a ads for a IRL Daggerheart game, how many people will bring it up on their own unless you literally track down your local Critical Role fans and ask them about it? What can Daggerheart do well that can't be easily done by any edition of D&D or Pathfinder or any OSR or PbtA game.

Maybe since once you get out of the top 5-6(D&D, PF, CoC, PbtA clones, etc.) the size of marketshare any of those games have is incredibly tiny. Not likely as most of these people never leave the house so it'd be online anyway. Nothing and there's little worldbuilding to go along with it so most people outside of CR fans has any reason to give a shit about it except to try and re-enact crap from the show.

Daggerheart is such a stillborn product that they hired Perkins and Crawford after their core rulebook was already published and they didn't bother using their own system for their latest campaign. That tells you they internally know it's shit(it was rushed out the door to try and get a slice of the "omg hasbro is fucking us with the OGL pie" like a handful of other systems in the past couple of years), and it'll get a 2nd edition eventually that they might actually use for their livestreams.
 
I was filling in some holes in my LOTR TMG mini collection and was starting to get that itch again...

Is there anything else even close? That captures a sense of armies clashing while having an elegant rules system?

(Once you've done miniatures on hexes it's hard to go back to anything else.)
 
Crokinole is a disk flicking game that has slowly become regarded as the best dexterity game by boardgamegeek. It entered the top 100 board games of all time, and as such, draws quite some attention to people outside of Canada. With kickstarter being very successful in the boardgaming space, there've been some crokinole kickstarters. High quality boards can be quite expensive, making it great kickstarter stuff. Mayday games was one such kickstarter. However, the quality of a lot of boards was quite poor. People that wanted to return their board, were told to instead mail it to some other address. The address was of another kickstarter backer.

This already soured a lot of people on Mayday, but now they're doing another kickstarter. This time you can get an awesome carry bag for your board, as well as a wall mount to store the board. Brown castle, however, noticed the bag is basically a 1:1 copy of theirs. They're in the business for a while, and over the years improved their bag from a simple circular bag, to a padded bag with various pockets to store disks and powder, as well as an inner pocket for score sheets. It's become the ultimate crokinole bag.
Mayday agreed, and decided to buy one and send it to china to copy it. Brown castle noticed the bag they were selling in their latest kickstarter, is basically their bag, and made a post on BGG. Mayday reacted. Instead of trying to deny the claim, they admit they're ripping them and trying to undercut them. But try to spin it as some kind of "uhm we're just trying to be good to the customer giving them a premium experience for cheap".

It's funny if you want to read some cope and someone making absolute terrible excuses of what he is doing, while also admitting to doing everything he's accused of.

oh your god you're right!
Other untried, but potentially powerful, wepaons are the Swamp Belchers. These are drakons which have undergone a strange metamorphosis, due to a diet of swamp fungus. They can no longer fly, and their body chemistry changes such that a fire permanently smoulders in their bellies and they become capable of volatile flame projection from their altered digestive systems.

I mean... it's not a wholly terrible idea - you could see some clever halflings like cripple a baby dragon to turn it into a portable flame thrower - but they should be putting it in like a wheelbarrow device to make it easier to maneuver around the battlefield.

Hell, how are 50 lb halflings supposed to push around a 400 lb dragon (give or take) in a wheelchair even on paved streets? (much less grass and fields?)

It looks like they're wheeling around a crippled tard who wants tendies and sonic plushies or else they rip their handler's eyeballs out

Apparently that's literally this guy's job:

Hold tendies just out of reach of the dragon to get it to go where they want - even though their own lore says the dragon got fat off swamp mushrooms.

How can a Dragon just sit in a wheelchair? There are no chains to secure him.

I'd say it's a parody of the combat wheelchair. They should make an entire wheelchair unit as a joke where every figure is sitting in a wheelchair.

I'd normally give them the benefit of the doubt, as fat dragonlings put on wagons would be a pretty reasonable way to make a siege weapons, but that is very very clearly a wheelchair and we've already seen the furry obsession with being ultrafat

I mean maybe, but if I draw rule 34 of Rich Uncle Pennybags ironically but boardgame fetishists use it to jack off...

there are also the injured drakons they have nursed back to health or repaired with mechanical wings. There are only a handful of them, but they are able to assist the airships in scouting and patrolling.

So put the rocket pack on the wheelchair to move it easier? Why bother with a flying dragon mount if it needs prosthetics and can't breathe fire because it isn't fat, when you can just have jetpack troops?

I guess their hobbits/halflings are just retarded?

I mean this reads like a stealth joke/parody. Like someone is taking the piss out of the diversity brigade. But at the same time, I am pretty sure it's not supposed to be a joke.

And that's the problem. It could be a joke, but it seems too retarded for a company to basically dedicate a faction to this stuff.
 
Well here's a little bit of a crossover from another thread, apparently this man who has claimed in the past that he's DM'd games for decades now, has decided to be fucking retarded with regard to his 5e character
