I'm still holding off on any serious judgment of Daggerheart beyond normal cautious optimism until a QSG or actual play comes out but from what little I know, the thing that I find most intriguing is that, while it has a mixed success mechanic, it also has a mixed failure mechanic, which is one of the gaps I find in a lot of indie ttrpgs.

Games like Blades in the Dark or Candela Obscura have complete successes on a 6, complete failures on 1-3, and mixed successes on 4-5, in which you do the thing you want but there's a drawback. PbtA has a similar setup. But from what it sounds like, Daggerheart has the following:

Same number on the Hope and Fear dice: critical success

High roll and the Hope die is higher: success

High roll and the Fear die is higher: mixed success (example given in the articles talking about it - you do get to run by and hit the enemy, but you do not avoid an attack of opportunity)

Low roll and the Fear die is higher: failure

Low roll and the Hope die is higher: mixed failure (an example wasn't given, so I can't be positive, but it sounds like this might be the opposite - you miss, but so does the enemy)

And to be clear in BitD and Candela, I think the high risk of failure makes sense because of the nature of the genres they're serving. Honestly, again, I suspect PbtA is fine for the original game and it's the endless hacks that do little for me. But as someone who by and large would rather play in ongoing heroic fantasy, where escalating failure is just frustrating, I'd like to see a system that has a more balanced way of resolving the dice.

#ttrpg mechanics #this is once again and i can't stress this enough the most speculative of all things
