Rolling solo keeps making the best intros on TH-cam
Thanks Elias you’re too kind!
Perfect Introduction to this ( to me ) rather heavy game. Thanks a lot!
Appreciate that so much! Hope to see you around here and don’t forget to check out my lord video for the game as well to set the mood before a campaign!
Thanks for the overview, this looks like a solo game I could really get into. As always my wallet curses you and your informative and enjoyable play throughs.
Thanks Khy! Glad to hear it was enjoyed and helpful. Sorry about the wallet haha
Yaaay another awesome video, havent fully finished yet but it really helps seeing how the Companions differ to the main characters, with the extra archetypes unlocked as stretchgoals this could give so much extra potential for those characters being nice to plug gaps such as healing or multiple different range attacks. The warbear is very quickly becoming a character I REALLY want to play 😁 Thanks Adam 👍
Thanks for watching and happy to hear it helped you out :)
Thanks for the video, especially for showing how the companion cards work. I was considering backing this for my son and I to play together, and it was very helpful to see how it would be to play using 2 companions.
No problem! Happy to help you see that in action David. That's awesome that you'll be enjoying this one with your son in the future. Very cool!
Adam. Thanks for showing this one off. After watching your first video, I backed this gamee on the first day. Now after watching this video, I am even more excited that I did back it. The only negative is having to wait.
Hey Kenneth! It’s an exciting campaign. Had fun putting this together and happy to hear it’s being enjoyed. The waiting is the hard part I agree haha
As always... Awesome Job!!! Thanks for sharing. You now have me thinking of backing this game.
Hello Tony! Thanks for checking it out. Hope it helps in your decision. Cheers
Your intro's are excellent Adam. I told you that Rat was a tough cookie :) , thanks for all the info.
I appreciate that Trev. Not an easy battle but a fun one! :)
Thank you so much for finally giving us a gameplay video where we actually do see the cards and gameboard instead of some guys talking next to it 😁👍 now what to think about this game? I'm still not sold on it. Many cards seem to have tons of text on them, and I'm also not a fan of the escalating decks. Going into it with only six hit points seems hard enough on stage 1, how to survive stage 3? But maybe it's also this specific encounter, as I hate enemies that spawn minions and this one spawns a lot... Probably dropping out of this unless they come up with a German language edition. It just does not look fun enough... 🤷 Thank you so much for your great work 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching! I believe that’s a part of the fun from my multiple plays. The battle has turned out very differently each time I’ve played it. Six hit points sounds low but when you take into account how hits are divided by defence(so you can handle quite a good number of hits), plus you can use a card in your hand to boost your defence before the attack roll and defence tokens, there’s ways to avoid damage. Of course positioning is key as well. This is also key when making your party of four. Thanks for watching :)
Yet another outstanding run through Adam, as if I was not in enough trouble for buying Imperial assault and journeys in middle earth based on watching your channel. I am now expecting a delivery of Gloomhaven after watching your play through series and now I have signed up for the kickstarter of this. My wife will be filling for divorce at tis rate lol. Love the content keep up the excellent work
haha Uh oh! ;p
Thanks for the kind words my friend. Awesome to hear you found some games you like. Love hearing that! See you around in the next playthrough...muhaha ;p
Well today I had the email about my pledge for this game, so I have gone the whole hog and got the top dollar pledge. Now it the long wait till December 2020, by which time I may have finished painting my Star Wars figures, middle earth figures and gloom haven figures. I really think we need a bigger house for all this stuff lol
Great overview video 🙏🏼, if I may ask about the card you played at minute 30:30, for the 2nd/3rd options , one should pay 4 animus in order to do a single battle flow, or pay 5 animus to replenish combat card decks, isn’t!?
Hey BGD! Sounds correct, but I'd need to take another look as I have my head in a few other games at the moment. Hope you found your answer and thanks for checking out the video too :)
Great run-through!! I was on the fence after the narrative portion, but the combat looks too good to pass this game up.
Knowing what you know now, would you continue with two full characters?
Thanks so much! Happy it helped you. I would absolutely keep going with two full characters and two companions. It’s a nice balance and the turns go quick. Cheers!
Gloomhaven and KDM had a baby.
haha Seems that way right?
Hi Adam! Thank you for sharing yet more info on this game and helping us see for ourselves if we like the game.
One question for you: are the parts of the minis in the prototype removable? The one thing that leaves me wondering on the KS page is that they are going to use "HIPS" as material for the minis, and this is the first time I hear of minis being made from it. So I was wondering if it was already in action in your prototype? Thanks again and have a nice Sunday! Regards to Serenity!
You bet Yan! The prototype parts aren’t removable. Have a great Sunday as well and Serenity says hi! :)
Just a minor note that the Ursus War-bear is a female.
That’s correct and a slip on my part. Cheers!
And its head is too small.
Wondering about the ranger's first attack. If you draw a straight line from the ranger to the rat four spaces it seems like it would hit the head? Or are you able to choose which hex it damages once your arrow it next to the rat? Hope that made sense. Love your videos!!
Thanks :) In this case as both the front and side hex were the same distance away I went for the flank. Hope that helps!
Great video, thanks. Why so short this go around?
Hello Clyde! Great question and there’s a a couple reasons. First, I want to avoid spoiling the entire encounter as this is the first major one of the game. Second, I thought it was more important to get an idea of the rules, mechanisms and flow of the combat. Hope it helped you out! Cheers :)
It feels more like you get a penalty for removing one bodypart because one attack from the rat can be very critical and all you earn is nothing for the side or only 2 animus for the front. For my understanding removing one body part should weaken the broodmother and not reward her with an extra attack?
Consider it a natural reaction to being badly hurt. Makes sense the enemy would adjust after a massive hit. All of the reactions are handled within the stage cards in terms of balance. Cheers!
@@RollingSolo You are right but i really wish it would be a natural reaction on both sides so the encounter becomes more 'realistic'. For example if the broodmother lose a die on one side she can only move half the distance... if you remove the dice on both sides she can't move any more. If you remove the die from the front her vision gets blurry because blood runs into her eyes - now you are allowed to remove one die from every attack.
I see what your saying! I like that and hope it has that sort of thing built in. It’s hard to know if all the future encounters may be built like that. This being the first major encounter in the game I assume it’s also the most basic in terms of mechanics for the Broodmother and things will ramp up in future Chapters. I believe what you’re speaking to could exist on the encounter card specific to the ‘thing’ you’re dealing with. At least that’s the logical place for those types of rules to exist but is unknown atm! :)
By the looks of it the cit and encantor boards are fairly large and I'm guessing they will not both be set up at the same time. Therefore I'm guessing you would need to take one down and set the other up when switching play styles. How do you feel this will affect the flow of the game?
You can have them both setup or just focus on one at a time or per play seasion. Setup time for them is no problem and the storage solution they are going to offer is going to make it even better. Hope that helps!
I really wish this had been longer I would have liked to have seen more rounds. It was a let down after going through the full narrative in the previous video. It all most feels as if it was sped up because combat might feel repetitive and boring. This video has me contemplating removing my pledge.
Hello! That’s an interesting take. I certainly didn’t want to spoil the entire Chapter 1 encounter. I’ve played it on and off camera a total of four times now and each time it’s planned out differently in terms of the encounter and whether I won or lost. As I mentioned at the start of the video I wanted to highlight the important aspects of the encounter close up with limited spoilers. Other playthroughs released prior to mine already covered the full playthrough at a zoomed out level. Thanks for watching!
So players have to trigger battle flow to move cards around their player boards? I would have guested that during refresh every card moves one space (3 to 2 or 2 to 1) and that players could speed that up with token and/or card play.
Hey Jason! Indeed the player triggers the Battleflow. So there’s strategy to getting those cards around and back into your hand. At least the ones your after anyway. :)
So.. if the exile would get knocked out, would the player controlling him just sit out the whole encounter? Seems like a player elimination problem to me.
You could get that player to play the enemy. If you were playing 2 or 3 player then you can continue with the companion "players" or allies.
When a player is knocked out, one of the allies steps into the fight. The player would control this ally. There will be 4 characters in combat, including allies.
As Anthony mentioned you have allies to control so player elimination isn’t a thing here. Thanks for watching :)
So this is basically a boss battler wrapped in a narative campaign. How does it compare against KDM or even Dark Souls.
That could be one way to explain it high level. It provides much more interesting decisions during battle between dice/cards. It also is easier to get into than KDM. It’s a nice blend of the two games you mentioned but with a whole twist of its own in terms of design, game flow, combat and narrative.
Will there be another fight shown before end of KS?
MB! Thanks for watching. The prototype was for the first chapter only and to avoid major spoilers there won’t be any others. Hope this helped you in your decision my friend :)
Hey there! Between this and Aeon's Trespass, which would you choose for solo play?
Tough question! I've played the prototype for Oathsworn but haven't played anything of Aeon's Trespass so I have heavy bias atm. :P
@@RollingSolo well, at least that means you are feeling positive about Oathsworn which is a good thing!
Oh indeed I am!
weird.. my giant rat mini doesnt have an arrow xD
Oh really? That is weird!
at 47:00 why didn't you use a card to buff the defence of the warrior?
I should have! Good catch there Oliver. That would have triggered Battleflow and also wouldn’t cost animus. Cheers!
Didn’t think I’d need a calculator to play this
The design has been updated during development as well. Very excited for this one!
Seems like they are going to have to buff the characters HP a bit before release 6 hp seems way too low. I hope this isn’t another darklight memento mori where all the printed cards become useless in the box because developers don’t playtest the game enough
Hey Erik! There was a ton of play testing and I believe the games been in development for three years. Thanks for watching :)
That's what my impression is as well. I will never get my gaming group motivated to play if they are dropping in the first round... Maybe we need to see a full run of the encounter to see how one can win this with escalating stage decks and dwindling resources... 🤷
I love the way Defense works to keep you from getting one-shotted based on division not subtraction. With 3 Defense you would have to get hit with 18 damage to go down right away.
So Adam do you feel like 6 HP is enough?
I think it’s very balanced at six HP. With the ability to divide based on defence, plus play an ability card before the attacker role to boost the defence (no animus cost) or use defence tokens...there’s a bunch of ways to prevent damage. Position is also key!
Not sure about it but I think you were not right according the missed attack of the exile. If you'd have reroled one blank die and got a none blank one then you'd have had 2 blank dice and one of them would have been ignored because of the one crit. That was my understanding of the attack rules.
Hey! Thanks for watching :)
A rerolled blank result still counts towards the two to make you miss. However any critical roll of the die at all doesn’t count towards misses. Hope this helps!
I feel like “roll to hit” is basically not much better than “roll to move”. There’s got to be a better way to do combat than pulling the lever on a slot machine and hoping to it’s your lucky day.
Hello Shanerion! Thanks for watching and your thoughts. If you play using the deck of cards that’s certainly not the case. That’s a big part of the strategy as well. Cheers!
I like your videos but you tend to overexplain/overteach. There should be a balance on underexplaining and overexplaining. Sometimes you need to explain things at the time it is needed. Not beforehand. Learning as you explore, as they say, so we know the context of your explanation and motivation of actions.
So, there you go. A little conservative criticism for an improvement. ;)
Hey Edward! For this type of video that’s the aim as the game was in prototype form and I had one of the first videos out for it for the campaign. When I do a Showcase of this one in the future it will certainly involve less explanation. Thanks for the feedback! 😄
The artwork is the only thing putting me off this game, the components are very plain and unprepossessing
Hey DB! Thanks for watching and I hope the videos help you decide for yourself either way. All the best :)
