first of all: nice video, i like that game and already bought some expansion packs, but this coop one i kinda missed and found out it today - since it has some different rules and playstyle, i wanted to see someone playing it in yt first and i'm glad you did it, thank you (after about 3 years :p) there another way you could have pick up that treasure with syndrael: you also could have used the ability "advance" to just move (and yes it is allowed to move only without attacking anything, as you can read in the errata page 2): in this particular case it wouldn't make a difference since syndrael was just one space away and for "advance" you also have to pay 1 fatigue
Heh, 7:30, husband or kids? :) BTW my fiance and I love co-op games and we've basically been using your reviews as a TV-Guide to figure out what we're hitting next (I think I've commented that before), so we ordered F2E: FS based on this playthrough and we're loving it. Cheers!
Nice video, nice miniatures, and like and subscription done. At 30:00 when Syndarel had a single action left, you could have, if I am not mistaken, taken a fatigue token to move her one space, and spend an action to search. very nicely done
Spending fatigue to move is what makes playing in Descent efficient so you should definitely use that ability. I believe it was a simple mistake. I'd probably made the same one many times. Also something I noted from the video is that she used her stamina tokens on the hero card to show the remaining stamina. To me it has always been that you place stamina tokens on the hero card as you use them. This makes a difference as some cards specify to count the "tokens on your hero card". If you place the tokens in wrong manner you might accidentally make a mistake when counting the tokens. She did count the health tokens correctly even when using dice to show health so I'm sure she would have managed either way. EDIT: Very nicely backtracked!!
I've been thinking of painting my mini's and I've never painted anything before but yours look awesome! Any tips for a beginner? And is there any paint set you'd recommend for the Descent mini's?
I've been painting minis for a while now, and I always recommend washing all the minis in soapy Luke warm water before painting, then rinse them thoroughly. Gently dry them in a soft clean rag, one at a time. All this prepping will help the paint to adhere better, and look better. I always use water base paints. I usually buy mine at a Michael's Store. Then to bri ng out all the detailing, do some dry brushing. After a few are painted & dry, spay a gloss coat protective spray on entire mini. (Spray just a light coat only !) - (never leave any paint on any brush for a considerable length of time, always rinse brushes in a small container of water between color changes while finishing each mini, & dry on a clean paper towel.
dkyzar I was able to re-film it. I was playing one character while using the wrong character sheet. And the sound in the intro was off. You know what they say about the devil and the details....
Sylvain Hebert It's my secret passion. I painted my entire Battle Lore set. Of course, they went and re-vamped with a new edition. I can't bare the idea of tossing all those figures and starting again so even though I hear 2nd edition is awesome, I'm going to hold onto the original and save my $$. Also, your game should appear next week? Let me know when you get it!
Solo McLaughlin I started to paint my D &D adventure boardgames....i gave up and eneded up buying them on ebay..lol....I have no talent whatsoever :) Will let you know as soon as I get it :) Happy gaming!!
you are just awesome love your voice so clear. Explanations you give are just great thank you for your hard work to help others understand, thank you

will you continue? I'm wondering what's behind that door :-P
What is the spooky background music anyway?
Deja vu all over again! :)
Have you re-uploaded this? I've sure I watched it a day or two ago.
MadLadDesigns Yeah, I found some silly errors. I'm out of practice!
Solo McLaughlin Are they annotated in the new video? What were they if you don't mind saying here?
dkyzar I was able to re-film it. I was playing one character while using the wrong character sheet. And the sound in the intro was off. You know what they say about the devil and the details....
Solo McLaughlin
I did think the intro music was a little loud. :)
Oh!!!! painted minis :)

I think Rocket Pig Games Tilescape DUNGEONS tiles would be perfect terrain to use for Decent. Their Kickstarter is going on still.
