This is Shane from Pinnacle (Savage Worlds). I'm a Free League fan too and LOVE these videos. FL's games are excellent and Ellinor is engaging and crazy fun to watch play against herself :)
Shane! I'm a huge fan of your work. Deadlands Classic and Savage Worlds were the games that showed me that I could play in any world and tell any story I liked. You are a legend of the hobby.
I brought our GURPS group over to Savage Worlds about 10 years ago, and we still play SW every week. Now I’m gobbling up everything Free League makes, though I haven’t tried them out with our group yet. Long story short, it’s just a tad awkward to run into @PEGShane here 😬
These videos are fun and can't wait for more, but can we take a moment and appreciate the discreet PSA advocating 4 things necessary for the survival of mankind?
Exactly! My physics class in college used the metruc system which was clean and efficient. It was quite a surprise (an unpleasant one) going into my aerospace engineering classes which used the English system ... so cumbersome and so many places to make conversion mistakes. Who in their right mind thinks a system using slugs* as a unit of measure (among many other things) is a great idea? We used to to joke that we might as well use furlongs per fortnite for velocity. 😉 *A slug is defined as a mass that is accelerated by 1 ft/s2 when a net force of one pound (lbf) is exerted on it. One slug is a mass equal to 32.17405 lb (14.59390 kg) based on standard gravity, the international foot, and the avoirdupois pound.
hardest thing in dragonbane is coming to terms with only having 1 action. I've had so many moments of my players feeling trapped cause they don't feel like they can attack without leaving themselves open to die since the enemy just hits too hard. but it does also force player parties to start thinking strategically too.
Very entertaining! I've been running Dragon Bane since last Gencon, and it's my primary system now. My only critique would be to have shown that the Dragon's attempt to Evade the arrow burns up one of its Actions.
Epic! I have the starter box, just need to get it to the table. Also, if my character has no arms or legs, I'll pass on the living roll. Calls out, "New character sheet please!"
Sort of? If she were actually hiding to take advantage of a trait or ability, then yes. But to move where a boulder would break line of sight with the dragon? Nope; that's just a move.
Savage DM Ellinor: Your friends can help you in this scenario: they can either persuade you to continue with a Rally Call despite the fact that you're missing both arms and legs and are bleeding out. You'll still be making death rolls but you can keep fighting instead of just lying there like a dying loser. Your friends can also try to heal you but where's the fun in that? 🤣
Give this lady a raise
Last week a chatacter died in combat to that giant. Obviously, as a caring GM, I've sent them this link. Love the videos.
I appreciate the helpful explanation of how combat works.

Savage Worlds & Pinnacle are top-notch. All that you all do over there is appreciated.

I am SHOCKED and ALARMED to learn that there are two Ellinors.
The acting and comedy in this video was much more than I was expecting… and I learned some Dragonbane rules along the way. Two thumbs up!

These explanations are well made
Good stuff! more please!
Such a delightful video! "A superior system" giggles
This was awesome! She has really good comedic timing!
I love the Superior System line! Exquisitely delivered

More Elli, PLEASE
These tutorials are killer!
Another great and hilarious vid, thx! :D

Genuinely funny. Thanks Elli.
These are some of the most fun, whilst also informative tutorial videos!
Ellinor, my god, what a great start to my Friday. This is so good.
Metric a superior system❤
Thank you for these amazing videos, I was curious if it's possible to get a video about using magic, as it has caused some confusion at my table?
Awesome video! We so need to start streaming a Dragonbane game, thank you for the great tutorial🎉
Feeling a sudden urge to:
Save bees
Plant trees
Clean seas
…and something else also.
It's such an awesome system and I love the one action economy combined with strategic thinking
great videos! She's a natural at this
Awesome! More of the Ellinors please
That tshirt
Now, I read that t-shirt several times. Can't make out the last sentence :P
Very entertaining! I've been running Dragon Bane since last Gencon, and it's my primary system now.

Fantastic Video! I am so loving this TTRPG!
The world isn't ready for two Ellis
wow entertaining and cute as all hell
I love these videos... and the reference to MOTU is awesome
I'd like to hear Ellinor speaking her native language.
Epic! I have the starter box, just need to get it to the table. Also, if my character has no arms or legs, I'll pass on the living roll. Calls out, "New character sheet please!"
Since the dawn of time man has engaged in the primal art of battle
You had me (again) at "Today, we're going to f--- you up."
This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them!
Ellinor, Free League is henceforth *required* to employ you to deliver tutorials for every game system.
I will brook no Euro-superiority talk except the metric system (& trains [also walkable cities {& architecture }]).
Agree: metric is way superior XD
that was quite funny.
I really enjoyed the video. Hadn't thought of Dragonbane seriously until you said every monster attack hits. (I'm a GM by the way... so...)
Doesn’t hiding use up action that was already used for ranged attack?
Sort of? If she were actually hiding to take advantage of a trait or ability, then yes. But to move where a boulder would break line of sight with the dragon? Nope; that's just a move.
Save The Bees!
I love the games free league comes out with
