Wow never seen a world as uncomfortably moist as Damu before. Everything about that random table was like " You will never be dry again. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Go to sweat jail."
Thank you for bringing the phrase "Uncomfortably moist" into my life. And thanks for watching!
sounds like an armpit of the galaxy.
Weirdly, I was watching this video because I was thinking of running this game at a role-playing group in Milton Keynes. Made me chuckle when you mentioned it.
Milton Keynes is the epicentre of the Starforged galaxy it seems... Thanks for watching!
Exactly the same for me! Jumped a little at our mention :D
@Groove_Crusader In space, no one can hear you Milton Keynes
Thanks for helping me understand how to use the rules in an entertaining way.
Glad I could be of assistance! Hope you stick with the campaign and get something out of it!
"... a scavenger in the sheets..." 😂😂😂
I'm glad I'm not just making myself laugh...
Instruction unclear, I hammered the like button and now my phone is broken.

hello curious, what was that intro music you used?
The music was made by myself using pre existing loops in GarageBand, so nothing too exciting!
@@thebadspot its pretty good
Man, I love the intro music. Great job.
@Zac-Hansen Thanks!

Just a tip for Windows 10 Users listening to this, you can turn Mono
audio on under the Windows Audio settings (just type Mono in the start
menu and it will pull that option up). Audio was corrected after the
first three episodes were recorded.
You’re doing a great public service here!
But iPad people suffer 😀
Under your accessibility settings, go to audio and visual, you can turn on the mono feature there.
still useful tip after 2y, thanks ;)
I really enjoy world building. It was a pleasure to listen to you paint the world around you. I am eager to hear you play in it.
Welcome on board! I really hope you enjoy where the story goes. It certainly hasn’t gone where I expected…
I really like the choice of music for this series; it gives a very dusty feel to the tales.
Thank you! I made the music myself using loops in garage band.
Im just now starting my campaign after finding Starforged through online scrolling. Thanks for helping me build my starting campaign by providing such good examples!!!
Interestingly, before I started listening to this, I already rolled up my character and I also have an explorer/scavenger background with a utility droid 😂
That's awesome! Thanks for checking out the show!
I was thinking how cool it would be if the hunters on Sepulcher were the Soulbinders, and the world was overrun with the undead. Some kind of quarantine zone where travel is forbidden to any who are not Soulbinders or otherwise approved by them... or like Mantic's "Exclusion zones" or deadzones)
(I know it's a meaningless idea 8 months later, but I just got here and this kind of jumpstarted my mental narrative-building)
Cool idea! Would love to see that in a game.
@@thebadspot not sure if you've used that world in the episodes I've yet to see, but if not, by all means steal the idea!
So, I heard Dammooo, but it's spelled Damn-You, which fit Redemption pretty well I thought.
Accurate.
So I found these and I SOMEHOW didn't hear about the kickstarter... so now I not so patiently wait until I can give them all my money lol
Thanks for watching! I think the late pledge manager should open soon, then you can get on board the good ship Starforged.
The late pledge manager is open as of yesterday, the 1st of September 2021. I'd been waiting to give them my money too!
@@GammaSector yup! Deluxe bundle locked in. Heading for space this evening!
“Corvus Breach that sounds cool as fuck!”
Really enjoying the setting that's coming together. Looking forward to the next episode!
Side note: The end of the word 'sepulchre/sepulcher' is actually pronounced with a hard 'ch' sound like in the word 'chasm'.
Thanks for watching! And thanks for the side note. If I end up In Sepulcher, I’ll at least be able to pronounce it now!
This game is daunting to me and a tad bit confusing. The rule book is 430 pages but yet you have to create the story and details. Just weird there isn’t more literal or guidance in all of that material. I have the book but it is a lot to delve into.
Hey there! It might seem like a lot, but it’s so intuitive and flows really well once you get started. In terms of creating story and details, it’s no different to other RPGs, you get to tell your own story! Its a narrative first game that really suits strong, storytelling over crunch, so there will be a lot of blanks for you to fill in yourself. If you’re feeling really overwhelmed, I’d recommend starting with the Truths exercise on page 81. In about half an hour you will have built your world in a few very easy steps. That should set your story telling cogs spinning! Let me know if you want more help, but my campaign is a pretty good step by step guide on how to do it!
I only hear your voice on my left ear
Thanks for watching! Unfortunately I made a mistake with the mix for the first 3 episodes meaning the VO is only in one channel, but it has been fixed and from session 2 onwards it’s as it should be. My bad!
Why is the sound intentionally focused so vocals only appear on "left" channel? Considering there's nothing on the right channel, it makes listening with headphones a little unpleasant.
Hi there! It’s a recording error on both parts of the session zero and Episode 1. Normal stereo resumes after that. If you look through the comments on this video, you’ll see some people have posted workarounds if it is really bad. Thanks for watching!
@@thebadspot Thanks for the response. The content is great overall. Listening to it through my Macbook instead was fine. Thanks again!
Trying to get into solo RPGs. Love your setup for this sector!
Awesome, thank you! I have lots of resources for players new to solo gaming in a playlist, but also enjoy the campaign!
@thebadspot Thanks! I'll check those out.
I recently tried the Star Trek Advenutres Captain's Log solo game (I'm a big Trekkie) and it was more of a creative writing prompter than a game, so wasn't my cup of tea. Starforged looks like it balances both out quite well.
I'm also awaiting Hostile Solo, which looks to be a lot of fun.
@jordana4910 Cool! I play in a long running STA game (but know nothing about Star Trek…) but haven’t tried Captain’s Log. Hope you find a system that suits you!
“Cool as fuck”. I concur.
Thanks for watching!
Anyone else only able to hear this threw one headphone?
Hey there! The session zeros and 1st episode were foolishly mixed in mono. Enough people screamed at me to correct it for Episode 2. Thanks for watching!
Awesome yes I'm already on episode 10. Great work . Very entertaining!!!
That’s good going! Glad you’re enjoying it.
