- In this play through we explore the power of Polaris and her ability to manipulate orbs on the battle mat. We are met with quite the challenge with Cinder. Using Too Many Bones Unbreakable Lava Mechanic this once Krelin Tyrant cannot take damage while lava is on the field. This proves to be a very tricky mechanic especially in true solo. #toomanybones #tabletopgaming #boardgames #sologameplay
Dude these videos are so good. So we’ll produced. Cutting out all the dead space makes it so engaging
Thanks Dustin, that is exactly what I was going for. Appreciate you watching.
I just found your channel today and this is awesome! Love the camera work and crisp editing to minimize downtime. If I could make one suggestion - the music is kind of loud in comparison to your talking. I hear both at the same level and would love to have the music more in the background. Thanks for all your work making these videos!
Really appreciate your kind words. Totally agree on the music. I have learned the levels I hear on the edit and what come out on the export seemed different. I hope I have fixed the issue recently. Still learning all this on the fly. Just trying to get a little better each video. Any game you really hyped on right now or are coming out soon?
At 9:15 Polaris got KOed. You should have taken 2 Damage from the Poison #2 then ticked it down to #1.
See ref sheet for Poison... Target Takes True Damage equal to the effect die # at the start of it's turn. After applying DMG reduce the effect die by 1.
Easy to make mistakes wrt TMB. Incidentally you can take advantage that counter intuitively #1 poison will overwrite #2 poison when you can manipulate turn order so you get a #2 reduced to#1 before you character turn.
Lol that is amazing, always played it wrong. Thanks for that.
@@Neon_Gorilla Yeah sorry :( .. funny how we can all make a mistake early and keep doing it because we think we know :P
BTW you only Loose Atk Dice to Break if you actually apply the damage.. which you don't have to (usually only Red skill icons are mandatory to apply) . So you can roll for bones or wait until you get a good 2 roll to finish off a Break Baddie. Breaks not too bad TBH as you have a number of ways to deal with it.. I usually add a skill early that can deal with Break.. worst case is Fatigue rounds and/or wait for a good roll to apply.
Also you can only roll Atk Dice if you have a valid target for them.. you can't just roll them for free.
Thanks Rocket!
@@Neon_Gorilla Not being critical.. these videos are the best edited TMB playthroughs on YT. I like the change from Zelda Hearts to Chips for life. I know it's rough to do all that work and someone point out rules errors but I tend to watch playthroughs with an eye to what I could be doing wrong myself so I immediately focus on differences to how i play or interpret rules.
TMB has lots of edge cases and rules that are basically not logical such as 1 Poison Overwriting 2 Poison which makes no sense but it's how it's implemented.
@@RocketMagnetUK honestly, you are helping me a lot, while it is embarrassing to screw up rules on these videos it is helping me to really cement the rules especially before anyone is every really watching these. Before a few weeks ago I had never played tmb in front of anyone so it is interesting seeing all of the things that I have just skimmed over not knowing I interpreted them wrong. Filming these is also new for me and is still stressful so hopefully that starts to go away and I can relax and remember the rules :). appreciate you.
Damn! You need more subs! That is high quality boardgame video. Magnifying things on the board is very nice.
You're a gift.
playthroughs without rambling exhaustive rule explanations. YEEESSSSS
THANK GOD. i nearly broke my finger smashing the sub button.
as someone who can pick up 95% of a game just by watching it be played - rule videos drive me up the walls.
really appreciate the kind words!
Another great video! You ended with the exact same set of skill dice that I did during my solo play. A couple of things to keep in mind when playing her. I had totally forgotten about her delve dice options until near the end but in a solo game I don’t think it’s worth investing in anyway.
Orb support locked die - the +attack and +dex is granted at the start of your turn, before movement. Also, you don’t have to use the granted attack dice if you don’t want to. Meaning you can use the dex on other skills or to just move.
Recalling orbs - when an orb is recalled to any position (including one occupied by a baddie) they are returned to her supply after applying effects.
You are correct that Polaris is a very puzzley gearlock. She does seem really strong for solo once you can wrap your head around that puzzle and I bet she would destroy some more simple battles from the original game. Pulling off a major recall to drop 3 baddies at once was very very satisfying.
Keep up the great work good sir.
Thanks Brad. Appreciate the feedback and words of wisdom. Re: delve dice, I cut out a part talking about them but for you to get proper ROI they need to come out early. I agree with you might only be a multi gearloc luxury as you have to get her stat deficiencies buttoned up along with the orb sage die upgraded early. I thought about delve late in the game but really could use them one or two times. Thanks again for watching.
I've found the delve dice the most consistent dmg output actually. rolling the 3 days before and getting 4+ bones starting the next encounter is broken
@@Z3rY interesting, so what are you not training to place those 3 training points?
We’ll produced mate. I enjoyed this play through, I look forward to future episodes!
Thank you Robert. Glad you liked it! I am editing Gale next.
Amazing production value, Neon ✨
Had my first solo Nom campaign with Polaris and drew so many overly-difficult encounters that I just couldn't cope with 😆 So I had to sympathise with all your difficult choices!
Thanks Leet! I think Polaris is one of the most difficult to have success in your first couple plays. I do think she has potential to be one of the most powerful. I look forward to diving deeper. Who is your favorite unbreakable gearloc so far?
@@Neon_Gorilla I have tried Gale solo and felt she was more my style with access to some effects dies, and the puzzle of movement triggers (e.g. getting to move after a baddie moves next to you!)
@@LeetTreet I really love the idea of Gales major die that upgrade other skills. Very thematic considering she is an cyborg of sorts.
These are soooooo good!!
I really appreciate the kind words Will!
Thanks for this video play through! Also, nice intro! This was easy to follow for me, an experienced TMB player, so I appreciate that. I look forward to seeing more gear loc adventures from you (but without music background, keep that just for the intro),
Thanks for watching.
Cool video! Thanks for making these.
Thanks for watching mike!
This is really entertaining! Love the production. Made me want to play the game and keep watching your series!
Glad you liked it! Riffle is up next!
I didn't mind the music lol. If I'm not mistaken Magma shift would have moved baddies onto adjacent lava positions, and there were a few instances where this would have happened. Overall great playthrough, you showcased some fantastic recalls.
I failed solo polaris just earlier, so its a bit of a puzzle, maybe you've had success since this playthrough? I expected to be able to manipulate baddie positioning but had similar troubles to you. Please keep up the TMB content, its fresh and engaging
appreciate your kind words, not sure about magma shift mistake but I am sure they are there. Before I started filming these I thought I played pretty clean come to find out I mess up alot :). I am starting to get interested in getting more TMB content out there so be on the look out
Love these playthroughs! Great editing.
Thanks for the encouraging words Dan, appreciate you watching!
Been really enjoying those playthrougts, have you tought about doing some the new version of the old tyrants that can with rage of tyranny?
Thank you! and yes I have to re record it because of technical difficulties but working on a 40 waves / rage playthrough. Thanks for watching.
This Gearloc looks super fun with her orbs!!
Yeah, in my mind she is the gearloc with most replay ability at this point. We will see after a few more plays but really enjoy the puzzle. I will say her games may take a little bit longer for that reason. Do you plan on getting unbreakable or already have it?
@@Neon_Gorilla I got into TMB after the kickstarter so I just have base game + Undertow. So I’m excited to buy it soon!
@@Triston_Yocom well you are in for a treat. I will also say that the content added in rage of tyranny and 40 caves is worth it imo. Thanks again for watching...
Great content. I would advise to remove the music because it's very distracting. Otherwise, very well made video. Well done.
Thank you
nice presentation, pace and explanations - but had to stop after a few minutes due to the background music. But why? Your excellent flow and comments can easily hold their own. Dont need to be spiffed up.
Appreciate the feedback. If I remember correctly I was still learning about sound balance. Hopefully subsequent videos I have improved.
At 27:30 you rolled Attack dice, but I dont think this is legal as you had no valid melee target (?)
Thanks. Don’t kill yourself looking for mistakes. I make a lot :)
Well thas just part of learning :) Its a complex game!
@@dawsonsmythe and then try and film yourself it’s a whole new world of mistakes when I am thinking about all that stuff as well.
ive noticed that the Defense can be a bit of a bait as there's so much true damage being dealt in unbreakable.
i'd agree that you dont need the music.
I despise having to train defense :)
Polaris looks difficult but fun. Out of Carcass, static, and Polaris which do you like?
I had a hard time playing with carcass. I was really excited to use his chef profession with recipes but found getting the right recipe was relying too much on the luck of the draw. I need some time with him outside of solo but he is out for now. I think I had the most fun with static because of his potential to have really big hits and the mechanic of essentially getting rewarded for only rolling defense die. He just really felt great. Polaris was the one where I essentially felt dumb. I saw the potential of setting up the battle mat a certain way to manipulate the orbs and have these huge turns but couldn’t quite pull it off in my head. With her you are essentially having to play 3d chess when all other gearlocs are stuck in 2D. All that said static is the most fun out of the gates and just challenging enough to feel smart playing your first time. Long term I could see Polaris being at the top of the list though.
@@Neon_Gorilla That’s a great review. I don’t have my order yet but I have my suspicions on Carcass as not as fun as Polaris or Static. At least from what I’ve seen through a number of play throughs including yours. Through your playthrough of Polaris, I can see great potential and strategy with her which is fascinating, especially true solo.
@@dennisng5437 agreed
What do you think about cinder? Jad my first fight against her with gale yesterday with arm cannon tree and healing abilities (no movement or manipulation at all) and it was just frustrating to have this as last fight. Would have really preferred to test my new skills ...
I think the cinder mechanic is certainly unique and interesting but agree with you that it didn’t let me really play how I wanted to play in that battle. I honestly don’t know what the ideal set up would be to beat him. Seems overly punishing. Our if curiosity did you train the delve dice? It never felt quite worth it in my playthroughs.
nice video but the tune gets a little irritating. People will watch you for the gameplay not tunes. My oppinion.
Appreciate you suffering through.
I do love the series….but the music is a bit annoying 😅
Thanks for your feedback Roderick. Appreciate you suffering through the annoyances ;)
@@Neon_Gorilla you’re welcome to feast on my misery 😜
The music sounds extremely similar to a guitar solo on a song from Between the Buried and Me
