Quinss and Matt good choice in choosing Tom he's great.
I agree. It might be a case of getting used to presenting to a camera on his own (see: every TH-camr's really old videos) but I feel like he brings a more grounded take on things; a sort of straight man in comparison to the other two.
100% agree
Agree. I enjoyed this review. I have enjoyed his podcast bits. Keep up the good work Tom.
He's a safe pair of hands in that he's very "Matt & Quinns-like" with his quirky humour and all that. Personally I like that equally as much as the way Kylie offered a new voice & perspective. They've all been great in their own way, really.
MATEE AND QUINGLES
Once you pop--you just can't stop!
I approve of the new labour slave, and shall increase my Patreon subscription to provide for his own piece of toilet paper.
ofc, he's going to need to use both sides.
@@JamesOrr81 well obviously

Allrighty today we’ll be reviewing Tom, as always by the classic Su&Sd reviewer mainstays...
Comedic timing - 9/10
Relatability - 10/10
Editing - 10/10
Respect for viewers - 9/10
Fancy hair- 1/10
Words per minute - 3/10
Goof factor 7/10
Shots exposing camera equipment through reflective surfaces - 0/10
Shots including knees in frame - 0/10
Consensus-
Genuine surprise at the ability on display here, I hope they keep you. Good job buddy.
But his knee was in frame for the entire "like and subscribe" end plate...
I will also point out the lack of costume change, but those points can be waved due to the world emergency. I hope this is something to consider later on.
I mean, he's no Sandworm... But he's still young yet.
That hairstyle may come back in style one day. But it is not this day.
Misread editing as edibility, that is all
First impressions:
1) This was an excellent video that genuinely made me laugh
2) You are too young and it's an outrage.
3) The wizards driven mad by woodwind instruments will be my next ttrpg.
At 9:37 I spent about 20 seconds trying to figure out what any of those games on the shelf were.
Then realized that they're records.
"A bit... weird."
The zoom and the picture and the timing, perfect, hilarious.
Tom is such a great add to the team!! ^_^ Really like the looks of this, gonna see who I can convince to play it with me over share screen microsoft paint now!
You could use aggie.io, it's easier than screensharing paint
Microsoft Whiteboard might be an option as well...
@@saracenthemighty Thanks for that recommendation!
Tom you did wonderful. I wasn't aware of this game so it was great have put on my radar. I will get alot of enjoyment out of it. I am asking myself many of the questions you are asking yourself. Great job on a first solo video. Stay safe!
I don't think that Tom sitting in front of his records was a flex but look at some of those, The Avalanches, Car Seat Headrest - it's totally a flex
And R.I.P. Iain M Banks!
@@jfedjrock I thought the 'post-scarcity' suggestion was a reference to Banks, confirmed by seeing the books on the shelf.
I never comment but I felt compelled to pile on the "Great job, looking forward to more".
Tom, I've been a fan of SU&SD since the beginning and this review is as good as any they've ever done. I'm so happy to see The Quiet Year get the kind of coverage it deserves, and you've done it proud. Thanks!
Tom! I've been a fan of SUSD since way back when and I am so impressed that you managed to hit the SUSD note pitch perfect with this! Great vid, great work!
The sign of good quality content is when I want to stick around and watch even though the game is completely out of my wheelhouse and I will never play it. Still watched all 13:02. Well done new boardboi Tomzzzstar!
Awesome first video Tom! I may just end up checking this game out
Tom - thank you. After your review of Bunny Kingdom (which I love) and Nemesis (a game that appalls me), I was worried about your proximity to the reference pear. This review was genuine, vulnerable, and incredibly empathetic. Glad to see you on the team.
Undoubtedly, the most graceful exit from a video ever.
The rules say: "Whoever
started the project gets to tell everyone how it turns out, and update the map to reflect its completion" but my gaming group actually agreed it would probably be more interesting if the way you say it in the video (someone else finishes it) would be true.
We just started a game via zoom and we've found that the more interesting way, too.
@@MCKretin How are you playing it on Zoom? I'm tempted to give it a go.
@@hobbitgillam we just talk it through and use a free shared drawing app separately. It's me and my fiancee over here, her mother and older brother from afar. I've kept a hard copy of the map as a backup!
Just use Roll20. Literally built for this.
how do you decide how many turns it takes?
Absolutely love that your sourdough starter is named Prince Phillip. Well done, sir. As an aside though, I think someone with less clearly incredible art skills should maybe have been the one to pitch this review...I dunno about anyone else, but trying to live up to the crazy good line work on display here is going to give me some serious performance anxiety.
I say this as the highest praise: this was very SU&SD 👍
You hit the vibe running, great job :>
When he said "sort out the Tupperware drawer" I felt that ...
Thanks for this lovely video, Tom. Made my day! Glad you’ve joined the team
Good Job on your first review Tom, I hope we'll get to see more of you in the future!
You're a great addition to the team Tom 🤟, thanks for the laughs
Love the Los Camp! top!
Hahaha owning a skull...featuring some Iain M Banks... the art around your desk... ya live by the SUSD style guide :p looking forward to more!
My partner was gutted when Paul left and never thought she'd love SUSD again. Then you came along Tom. She'll be made up by this.
Tom's great but he's no crokinole.
I know I'm a few months late to this review, but I wanted to thank SU&SD -- and especially Tom -- for this great review. I bought this game on this review's recommendation and my friends and I have loved it. It's a great social distancing game and the game's structured approach to "be as creative as a you want!" really has reminded me of what I love about tabletop games and even what I love about tabletop role playing games. So thank you for telling me about this. It's made the past few months a little better.
One anecdote I'll add. My friends and I really got hooked on one session we played and now we're making a mini-campaign of it, with each session acting almost like a season of television or an entry in a book series. In this case, all the unanswered plot threads that were left hanging at the end of one session are now what we look forward to seeing resolved the next time we play. The Quiet Year's focus on societies, as opposed to parties, really allows for the metaphorical camera to be pulled back. I wouldn't be surprised if, in a couple of sessions, in-game generations have passed and our initial cast of heroes and villains is wholly replaced and still dealing with the fallout from decisions made years earlier (our story is about a pack of street dogs, so "generations" don't last as long, haha). It's fun to watch, more fun to be a part of, and I can't think of a lot of games or media that even allow for it.
Tom, you are such a great addition to the team. It's not a surprise that you were brought on as part of the duo/trio that we grew to love.
PS: your drawings are awesome, and also, since Quinns and Matt have showed off their collection, how about a Tom's Vinyl collection (and recommendations) post?
Came for the review, stayed for the Iain Banks & record collection. Nice one on all counts Tom!
For the German audience: there is am German Version out there that is called " Das rubige Jahr". You can download it here for a reasonable price www.system-matters.de
Great review, Tom!
I'm with everyone else - this dude is genuinely funny and a great addition to the channel. Cheers!
That was great! been binging SUSD since isolation started and if you didn't bring it up you'd think you've been at this for years! Great addition to the team.
Can't wait for the next review!
You've seriously piqued my interest in this game. Your enthusiasm and honest passion for the hobby shines brilliantly Tom. You're an excellent addition to the SUSD team . Thank you.
Well done Tom. Don't sell yourself short, this was really good and in line with the channels vibe.
Excellent work! Really well done, everything I love about SUSD in your presentation and approach. It's also been nice to have been here all through your development and almost feel part of it! Future of media content is community and you guys are leading it!
I played this game with a group of friends 2 years ago during a weekend away in a log cabin. It was sooo much fun and I still have the map we used as well. :) Definitely recommend!
2 things. 1, Tom, how do you have such good drawing skills??? 2, thanks so much for all the great work, you really are a perfect fit into SU&SD
Broo you've done so well! With established series billed on the power of specific personalities it can be really hard to edit that dynamic, but honestly, you are one amazingly warm and charismatic lad, and I'm excited to see what new stuff you can bring us!
After listening to the mcelboys play this game to set up the most recent Ethersea arc, I became enthralled with the system. Immediately I was thinking of how I could adapt the game to be useful for any/all of my fantasy settings, but your example mundane projects of "sort the Tupperware drawer" or "make a sourdough starter" made me realize...oh. Oh, this might be a useful framework to try to add some structure to my life (disabled and effectively still in lockdown bc of it). I can't imagine that it'll last super long, but if anything at all sticks around long enough to be helpful, that's a win in my book.
Great video, and an especially fantastic first solo video from young Tom. Also, his panicked noise at 7:22 really tickled me
Great video Tom. It’s like you’ve always been a part of SU&SD
This was amazing, Tom. Absolutely got that SU&SD humour nailed
Tom's quarantine content has really made me appreciate his addition to the team. Even though he didn't like The Hunted I really appreciated that there was someone at SU&SD interested enough to give a GMT game a go. Hope to see more of that, as wargames honestly produce some of the best solo content in board gaming. Thanks for the video Tom, a great solo debut :)
Oh wow, some real funny details in the edit there. Really feels in keeping with the tone - cracking job Tom
What a beautiful video Tom. I loved it! Keep up all the great work in the future, we're rooting for you!
Really enjoyed that . Great start dude.
Tom's doing a great job. A worthy addition to the crew! I'll need to see his Special Skill soon though. Dance? Juggling? Speaking in tongues? Fingers crossed for dance...
Really enjoyed watching this, even though The Quiet Year is already a firm favourite of mine. Like Tom, I also love it despite my reservations (“it takes too long” is a common issue). It’s a really fun way to be creative with your pals. It works great on Roll20 too - the lacklustre drawing tools make it okay to not be so good at drawing.
Brilliant! Standing ovation 👏👏👏 welcome to the team Tom.
You mentioned The Quiet Year in your previous review of The Hunted, so I went looking for it. The first article I found was (surprise surprise) on SU&SD. Seems interesting, and it's something I think has a lot of value as far as adding house rules and tailoring it to fit my friends' gameplay preferences. Thank you for the review, it was very timely!
Hey man I enjoyed this review alot. Informative and entertaining, I hope Tom stays on long term cos I really like his additions to the channel
Nice one dude - looking forward to seeing more of your individual content.
Nice video from Tom! I think I have the same record player as you... Officially requesting a run through of your vinyl collection!
Great work Tom! Excellent first video!
This is so great! Love the style and am SUPER interested in this game! Thanks and keep up the great work!
Beard, check. Sourdough starter, check. 12" Vinyl collection, check. Dammit Tom, you've gone full hipster. Everybody knows you never go full hipster.
I love the drawings, I hope you include more in your future reviews!
Really great job, Tom! That was a wonderful solo video content debut thingy..
This was a really great first video Tom! Can't wait to try this out, this looks like just my kind of thing.
Perfectly awkward, just like the rest of us! Congrats on getting the position!
I love this game! Actually play it with my entry level English students in college. Is great as a basis for discussing issues of perspective and narrative construction. Really helps to get them talking at the start of a semester, too.
Excellent video. Quinns and Matt did a great job. Really liked Tom's artistic voice in the piece while not straying too far away from the origins of SUSD.
This video was great! And I didn't know about the quiet year, it sounds fantastic. Thank you!
Fantastic work man. Content, form, script, edition. Great job!
I have been following SU&SD for a while and even though Quinn and Matt are awesome and I love them I do believe Tom made an astonishing video. The way he explained the game and related it to the real world situation, the way he expresses, oh my, it was heartwarming,I felt touched. I want to hear more from Tom. This is what I needed to hear today. Quinn and Matt, you made a wonderful choice.
Here I was telling myself I can take a break from purchasing board games for a while, then I watch your video. Considered me interested haha. Love the video, love concept of the game, and the nifty record collection, to boot. Great work, Tom!!!
This was a great video... thanks for a look into something that drew me almost immediately.
I like how he looked directly into the camera after the mandatory things he dislike part.
Dude. You're awesome. Keep up the great quality videos. I may not even purchase the game but I'll listen to your rambles all day
Wait, was the cutaway gag in the Pipeline review part of Tom's application video?
you did a great job tom thanks and welcome to youtube you handsome bastard stay save
You're doing great, Tom. First time I saw someone new I was like 'meh' but I guess if you have some things you already like, you don't want it to change. But it's been some time since that and I enjoy your part as well as the rest of the group. Keep up the good work!
Nice video, you are a great addition to the team of SU&SD!
I played this at PAX a few years ago and it was one of the most memorable games I have ever encountered.
Our Discord full of Burnt out DMs have decided to try a westmarsh campaign, so we can take turns and keep sessions short, (so we can all enjoy them) and since none of us want to put in the effort to create setting on our own,(not knowing how many sessions anyone might be interested in making it through) we have decided to play the quiet year to create the community that we will be using as the "home port" of our campaign. your video really helped explain it clearly. Thank you for the amusing and informative video.
Very nice scoot out of the picture at the end :) I like your editing.
This is your best work yet! Great job my man
Real nice stuff! I'd love to see more videos by Tom
Fantastic work Tom. I played this game at Gen Con a loooong time ago but totally forgot about it! Perfect fit for the right people in *shudders* these trying times.
Great work tom, liked a lot your recomendations and the way u did the ideo... great adding to SUSD
My dude loves some LCD Soundsystem. GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME
I heard you give this game a quick mention in the last video. Really really glad you did a review of it. This game seems awesome! Especially if you like drawing maps :) Great first video, dude.
Bought! Great video Tom. I love when I get an introduction to something different.
YESSSS, more love for RPGs! It's always great to read Cynthias articles on your website, but you did a great job with this one too! I'm looking forward to your next project :)
A pleasure to see you stretch your wings and contribute your own personal flair to the SUSD audience. Well done, Sir!
I splurged for the deluxe copy of this game with its Tarot-sized cards and little skull contempt tokens when I read another review last year. It's a very reasonable entry RPG-style game for those that are new to the genre. You don't even have to draw well, as the designer has posted some pre-made map sketches to jumpstart your own ideas.
Thanks for the video! 🖖
Great video mate. I haven't heard of this, love the idea of creating world's together. I'm guessing this isn't a game you 'win' but a shared experience more similar to an RPG
Just when I thought I couldn't love Tom more, he goes ahead and wears that t-shirt on his SUSD solo debut. What a legend.
Great review Tom! You’ve convinced me to get this game
Tom, you're a great addition to SUSD. You have a job I certainly envy :) Keep it up
Thank you for all the new ideas for this game (which I love)
Also very relatable
It finally happened. A SUSD youtube video ended with them pointing at videos that aren't there. Just like Ol' Quingles foretold.
Thank you! This was the review I was waiting for!
This is glorious. Excited to see more content from Tom in the future!
A year of great work Tom!
Great review Tom, you really nailed both the review parts as well as the comedy bits!
That was great! Hilarious and informative. Good job!
Tom is great! Wonderful addition to SU&SD!
