Daniel (@dungeondive) tackles the comparison many have been asking for: Vantage versus Earthborne Rangers. No burying the lede—Vantage wins his vote by a comfortable margin.
The key difference is fundamental. Earthborne Rangers is a 30-day campaign; Vantage is one-and-done. One delivers “adventure snacks” spread across weeks; the other serves complete meals in a couple of hours. Art direction favours Earthborne Rangers (that Miyazaki pastoral vibe is gorgeous), but variety favours Vantage decisively—Daniel’s already tired of certain encounter cards after just six in-game days.
Six comparison points get examined. Your preference probably comes down to one question the video poses clearly.
