Im DMing a campaing using 5.5e with close friends and I really tried to start them on Daggerheart with various one shots looking forward to make next campaing on Daggerheart, but they didnt found this system as "interesting" as DnD are to them, because Domain Cards feels restrictive to them, so they have to spend a resource (hope or stress) and if they are lacking resources, they feel like cant do anything
They also told me that Domain Cards for casters feels restrictive or "bad designed" because they are looking at wizard like half wizard and half "cleric" due to Codex and SPLENDOR domain, they are matching 1 on 1 any domain to a class on DnD and they feel off the uses of some domains on some classes on Daggerheart, like a Rogue using Grace Domain (they feel a rogue like half bard) or looking at Sage Domain as druid only thing and rangers having it like "cheating"

They feel magic restrictive on Daggerheart just because on DnD they have +500 spells, and they consider specificy on spells as something interesting and something that get the posibilities a step further because for example, its different to hold a creature using "hold person" and using "hold monster" and they have to be prepared for any of those cases and so on, for me as a GM/DM its pretty "unnecesary" to make those distinctions on creatures and makes the game more complicated just because

And finally, they feel combat on DH something very "noisy" or chaotic, like they cant prevent any action or turn of the enemies, nor of themselves, so they feel disoriented on combats, and not having a clear number of distance on feets to use on their turn, feel for them like very loose and with flaws, they really like hard rules on combats (Even though, one of my players are the kind of wizard who doesnt think what to do on its turn until is his actual turn, AND HE DOESNT KNOW ALL OF HIS SPELLS)

I was really flashed out when my friends starts dropping these comments about Daggerheart, because Im the only one who did read the book (and they actually wont) and Im the forever GM for them, and I am also the only one who has readed DMG 5.5 (Actually only 1 player of mine did read it) and matching rules on both systems, I trully feel Daggerheart is superior but my players wont fit on DH so they wont play a long term campaing on this beatiful system, so Im pretty frustrated about it

Im thinking I wont play Daggerheart as often as I would like, but hope that they change their opinion by playing one shots but I trully think its imposible
Even a close friend of mine preordered Hope & Fear expansion for my birthday gift but I trully think I wont be playing on it that much

Thanks if readed all along til the end, I just wanted to get this things out of my chest
(PD: my players know that Im in love with Daggerheart and we already discussed all these points but they still prefer to keep playing DnD)

I bought Daggerheart like 7 months ago and I felt in love with it the fisrt time I read it and played it as GM, but my players doesn't liked that much and prefered to stay on DnD

They feel like Daggerheart was more "restrictive" than DnD (just because their characters doesnt have that much abilities to use), and they hated the combat of Daggerheart
For me, I really think Daggerheart solve most of the things that feels off from DnD

When I read Daggerheart I felt like my players would love it, because we are the kind of players that enjoy narrative first (Our current DnD campaing are in session +30 and only had faced 6 combats) but they still doesnt fit in Daggerheart
So Im considering playing Daggerheart with new people but even I want to test the game as a player, Im the forever DM of my group and had never tested Daggerheart nor DnD as a player

So want to know if any of you knows where I can find a table just for a one-shot or an adventure like 3 sessions long, in spanish prefered but I can handle a game in english

(Spanish addition: en realidad soy de Colombia y mi inglés no es perfecto, así que sería más cómodo si fuera una mesa/comunidad en español)

In the other hands, let me know if someone experienced something similar reading and testing Daggerheart on your table 😄
