Have a look at 'The Webs of Past and Present'!

Thanks so much for the kind words! My daughter and I had a great time creating this adventure!

Love the game. Started with the free download and have since purchased 2 copies of the print version. Great work!

hi ! any news on OSR 3e ?

I really appreciate the care and attention you take in presenting (literally) this material. Looking forward to the mechanics video, especially in light of the new Vaesen Kickstarter!

Really useful video thanks. Money’s tight at the moment and I’m looking for a cheap OSR setting I can run one on one for my brother using the rules from Scarlet Heroes. This looks perfect!

Got the humble bundle the physical book looks beautiful!!!

Enjoyed this (first time on your channel). Good analysis and observations! Look forward to checking out the rest of your channel

Thanks for the review and glad you enjoyed this one.

This seems really interesting, thanks for the review!

oh yea this looks great!

Thank you! This is great. I would love to see the game in action - meaning an actual play session. 🙏

No doubt you’ll enjoy Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser a lot! You’ll see how big an influence it was for D&D in the first place, along with Elric. And I must say I envy you the awe and joy of discovering those characters and Lankhmar for the first time. Thanks for your reviews and insights !

Thanks for sharing. This looks like a fun, fantasy variation of Traveller.

TotSK is terrible. Do not recommend it for beginners or anyone. It's not a beginners module.

Thank you for the wonderful review!

And he’s back!!! Another great video

Thanks for the lovely review!

My buddy has the first book. He and I are the two GMs of our group. We are one or two sessions from ending the Curse of Strahd d&d 5e game I've been running for almost a year, and my buddy is looking to run a game to try Mutant Year Zero. I'm watching this for research. I'm super stoked to try it!

Hey, it's fun to see you review this game. I started a campaign with this game one time, and the survivors of this game went into a D&D funnel, and the survivors of that were saved by the party that the players would play. So I had two sessions (this game and the funnel) to introduce the world. It's been a while since then, but I remember my players looked at the villagers too much as statistics, and didn't roleplay as much. They weren't emotionally invested, but I think that was also just the group I was DMing for. In the end I have some fond memories of that campaign and I do really like this game!

Hey there! This is Zack, the author. Just found this review video! Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad everyone is enjoying Illmire! Eventually, I would love to do a 2nd Edition of Illmire and expand the layout to make it easier on the eyes and easier to digest. You are right that there were some sacrifices willingly made to smash everything into a zine. It was a Zinequest product and there was a hard limit on size, binding type, page count, etc. I'm currently working to finish up The Dragonwilds (I'm very behind schedule), which will be similar to Illmire but like 10x the size and scope. Hope to see a review of that one next year! Thanks again @fumbletable!

22:02 If I got my probabilities right, likely damage for an Axe is 8 ranging 3-13, while for the Vibroblade is 12.5 ranging 5-20. When armor is in place, it can make a big difference.

Thanks for the concise explanation! I wanted to learn more about Fate, but all the other videos were a couple hours long and I don't have that kind of energy to invest in a system I don't know yet if I'll be interested in. You are to the point, and give all the core points I needed! I'll definitely look up you other videos, soon.

Picking it up! Looks awesome!

reading through it myself (I ordered the hardcover on a whim), I'm not getting a clear picture as to just how simple or smooth all these +1D/+2D/-2D modifiers will work out in real time. Im just imagining every player action grinding things to a halt while we have to tally up all the +D's and all the -D's for any given thing.

Thank you!

Although the book cover makes me gag a little bit. I would still try to have a look at it with me friends and maybe do a 1 shot🤷‍♀️

It's crazy and sad that you went through it. Thank you so much!

Hello thank you for the short introduction this might be a good video to send to my players. I have discovered fate about 2 weeks ago and basically binged the content. Watched most of the life plays and read through fate core, accelerated and condensed. I will be running condensed for a small group this weekend. I am very excited for the system it seems to really lean into my favorite aspect of ttrpgs, the cooporative narrative. I have run games in 5e and dsa and always had this issue that my players had great ideas but it just didnt fit the rules. I started bending and homebrewing these systems a lot but at some point I just asked myself whats the point of the rules if im ignoring 70% of them? From what im seeing and reading this system might be my perfect fit. I do have some concerns. The system is very different to all other systems i have ever seen so i wonder how easy it will be for players to grasp the core concepts. Taking this amount of narrative control over the scenes and worldbuilding comes with a responsibility, that my players might not be comfortable with. As players of digital and ttrpgs we are very much trained on choosing from predifined lists. Having a player, that wants to do magic and asking what can he do, seems a bit daunting. The focus on beeing thematically appropriate and willing to place your character in difficult situations by choice is counter to all of the mechanical optimisation we have been doing all this time in other games. So i fear i might meet some resistance from my players to this system, but I also see a huge potential for a powerful freeform narrative framework that could fit my gming style very well. Did you end up running the game? what were your take aways? Do you have some tipps how to encourage players to help develop the scenes and worldbuilding? Also fate seems really niche, which surprises me. The rules are very easy to pick up and it is free. Yet i have never heard of it before i went out purposely looking for narrative based genre agnostic systems. I understand that people looking for simulation based games, were they express their character through mechanical system choices wouldnt like it. But in my experience most players just want to live a specific fantasy. something for which the system seems very well built. Do you have theories why the system isnt better known given its unique approach and many years on the market?

Wisdom has always been extreamly usefull as a stat. Too usefull as it utilises perception.

I forgot I had this. Hunted it down in my shelves. Cecil has created some great things.

Thanks for all the kind words about those Basic Fantasy RPG modules! We always appreciate the support.

How did you print it out as a booklet? I just got back from fed-ex and I just printed a bunch of pages, but I would LOVE to print it as a booklet like you did--without going through lulu or something like that.

Awesome

One of my fav games i've yet to play

Thank you for this awesome video. What an evocative module. I definitely want more previews of modules like this... Consider me subscribed!

As Astra is also really cool addition to MYZ books

It’s kraken week why not check it out

Hey kids, don't huff dragon scales. Stay in school.

I love that this guy is using Joplin app. Oh, and Whitehack 4e review as well!

This series has been really helpful in getting to understand the game better. I'm getting ready to run the game for some players, so everything I can soak up off of youtube is helpful, I've really appreciated it.

"Certain coaster dwelling magic users" is such a good line haha Love Knave 2. The value is unreal.

Thanks for wandering into the less traveled paths to find unusual and creative creators in our RPG hobby, I really enjoy the content.

The algorithm god requires I leave tribute.

A bit of constructive criticism: Your content is generally good, but whenever you read an excerpt from some text, you come across like it's been launched at you by surprise, instead of a piece you chose to present on purpose. It distracts from the otherwise good stuff. Maybe something to work on could be prepping these readings a bit more before recording, so you can make them smoother.

Everyone has those days where we are struck with madness and hallucinate that we have Hummingbird wings, or is it just my characters?
