    We finally made it!! Perhaps the greatest rendering challenge my computer has ever faced, it's honestly a minor miracle I was able to make it work in the end.
    A ton of effort went into this one and I'm not sure it would have been possible without the time afforded to me by the Summer Of Slug. 😊
    We'll have a follow-up video soon enough before we prepare to take on Everest!
    I also want to mention here that because of my current living situation, live streaming just isn't a reality at the moment. I had wanted to live stream building some DreamZzz sets next week, but I don't think I'll be able to make that happen, unfortunately. There will still be videos on the topic soon enough though!
    Thanks everyone!

      I always played as Sam Sinister chooses what characteristic he is challenging with. He is the attacker and can make the rules. In addition we often played the Sam or other bad guys with other players for fun (with the exception of Maharaja or other Guardiands - they do not want to take shield, but to stop the interlopers). In addition, whean other players rolled a hook, Sam Sinister "teleported" next to them by secret passages or entrap them and coming "later". This gave us a feel of of racing not with our adventurers team, but also with a bad guys
      OH! And we never added our movement to the dice roll. We just rolled a dice to determine the dystance.
      So these are our houserules)

      the effort you put into this video/your videos really shows. I mean, i have no clue about rendering, video cutting and what not, but the sheer amount of content you put into this clip is a special treat. Same for the production quality as far as i can grasp. I appreciate the background info on indian architecture and the provided photos for comparison, the nicely neatly displayed scenes, alternative builts and play-features, the arranged excursion on the cardboard game and the reevaluation of the game rules, as well as your soothing voice explaining away. Also the background music is so subliminal i struggle to properly notice xD yet it ties the whole video together very well!

    It'd be cool if these three legs of the journey was given a video with information from people who are knowledgeable about the cultures represented, to talk about what's on display and whether something strays more into inspiration territory than accurate representation. I think that'd be interesting, and a neat way to get in some tangential learning.

    Probably my favorite part of these videos- and I suspect maybe yours as well- are the still shots and the occasional stop motion. I appreciate the time ot takes get these all set up and I gotta tell you it pays off every time. I can just see the sheer *fun* in many of the shots you take. In a way it reminds me of being a kid again, setting up a cool little scene and playing it out.

    This is so exciting! The scorpion Palace has little to no proper set reviews here on TH-cam. And the aftermarket prices for it are absolutely crazy high. So to finally see someone have a really good video on it, with lots of well-written observations and top of the line editing, this was absolutely a treat!

  • @Slobezero
    @Slobezero ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Good video with a great set, as for the board game I would suggest using the hook option on skill checks not as an instant failure but as an opportunity for Baron Sinister to interfere. The player rolls a second time but this time with a penalty based on the Baron's relevant skill. This also makes him more relevant throughout the game and more dangerous if he gets items. It does lead to re-rerolling but with a smidge of added tension.

    • @RRSlugger
      @RRSlugger  ปีที่แล้ว

      I’ll try to remember this when we play again! My board gaming group errs on the side of simplicity when it comes to house rules though - eliminating re-rolls and floating modifiers, that sort of thing. 😊

    Seriusly, the in-depth nature of how you cover every element of a set like this, even evolving the conversation into a escapade of other topics around the theme itself is truly remarkable. These sets were a few years before my time, but I have always had this great interest in classic sets. Growing up playing with older pieces as I got mountains of boxes with used Lego as a kid. I even have a vague memory of coming across this set at a friends house.

    I remember obtaining this as a Christmas gift in 2006, nearly four years after its initial release, along with two sets from the Mount Everest wave. The dark orange fences are also near-exclusive to this set, and the red dish on the elephant's howdah has appeared in a total of seven sets over twenty years, appearing most recently in a Sonic the Hedgehog set (76990) released just this month. This set is also the second and final standard appearance of the 1x4x2 fence in white, and the only standard set to have a 2x2x2 nose cone at the top of the palace. I also never knew about some of the rules of the board game until now...

    I find this set underwhelming. However it also shows that you can build a solid nice looking structure just with few dozen of well placed pieces.
    Amazing job on a review. I dont agree with few changes you decided to do but I do love fact you are clearly experienced boardgame player

    A pretty cool set, and definitely full of great parts. The printed rug was always my favourite one from this set, even if I never managed to repurpose it for something else.

    I'm glad i found this channel, it's reinvigorated my love for Lego and I've really enjoyed your content. Although I'm more of a Power miners fan, so if you could feature any Power miners sets that would be greatly appreciated! Cheers to the summer of slug!

    One of the things you learn very quickly in game design is that speed is a massive advantage to give to a player. Second, is that when your characters have stats, they all need to matter in an approximately equal way or the least important stats will be an anchor around the neck of whoever has it. I’d be interested to see what you come up with, I remember playing the Himalayan version and it had about the same issues.

    I've been excited to get home from vacation and watch Slugger content again! Always a joy to see an upload. Glad you found a way to make the board game less punishing. I never had any of these sets myself, but while you were explaining the first session of the game, I just had a sinking feeling "this is gonna be a classic case of 'This was an Afterthought' isn't it?" Keep up the good work! (also was that you singing at the end there? I should've expected the music teacher to have pipes, but DANG!)
