Pledge is sure. Very nice set of components. Some minis are stunning. Art is gorgeous, and cards layout looks very clear with all that content to fit. Adventure tiles are really awesome. Game loop up to now looks very streamlined even with so many possibilities. Looking forward to this campaign!
The TH-cam buffer really doesn't want me to watch this video. 🤣 Thank you very much for the in-depth overview! This seems very interesting, on the surface. Projects like this depend so much on the quality of the writing and based on the samples shown I am not so really sure what to think. The character system seems very interesting but it also needs much closer look. Looking forward to future videos. P.S.: Why can it never be a sci-fi setting?
haha TH-cam shooting itself in the foot? Say it isn’t so! You bet, glad you liked it. More videos focusing on gameplay coming. There’s lots of fantasy and sci-fi out there…where are the gritty pirate themed games?
Evershade isnt until November most likely. I plan on getting both personally. Each will have its own distinct feel and playstyle. Story of Many is also more of a true crowdfunding passion project.
I feel like these stand alone and the only major overlap is going to be that it’s a narrative adventure. That’s pretty high level. SoM is closer to a tabletop RPG too.
@@MacScelaro I'm interested in both but will probably get just one. So I'd like to see what they have to offer first and try to pick the best or more of my liking.. But the new AR's got a slight advantage because of the experience and quality of their previous games.
@@RollingSolo I don't think we ever had such a open word/RPG/narrative board games before, not at this level anyway.. SOM goes first into videos but looking forward to discovering the Land of evershade, when you will get the prototype. IMO for the moment Evershade is even more RPG than SOM , so let's see your playthrough..
Ya, there’s RPG elements in both for sure. I think these games can easily exist. I mean at this point almost all games overlap in some way but the experience of the game is unique.
Looking interesting... If only i did not have to beat my way to the rest of all the tainted grail content i still have to explore 😅👍 but this looking nice 😊
Such an ambitious project. The scale of written content and the incredible amount of iconography and monster behaviours might be too much? I look forward to your gameplay videos to help showcase how smoothly and balanced it all is.
Thank you for the great UNBOXING... i am also interested in this game... and will defiantly check it out @Spiel Essen :) And i hope they will remove those numbers on the bases... looks strange to me🤪and also the miniatures look a little big maybe 36mm? hope they will tune them down to the "normal" standard like 28/32mm. Hope to see your playthrough soon... thank you Best Chris
Okay, so far everything looks good. However, in order for me to back, I want to see what game play looks like. This feels like Isofarioan Guard or the Solo RPG "The Domain of the Deathless King" which has pretty much what this game has except all the components which you need to gather yourself. I will keep a lookout for the playthrough.
@@9291slet I do not need launch date, I need gameplay video :) I was on verge with Elder Scrolls but it´s not like my cup of tea, so waiting for this. I mean ETA of gameplay video from Rolling Solo :)
@@RollingSolo yeah I know I am just kidding around. We are just all eager to see this game in action, but to be honest I rather have you take youre time and produce a good quality video than a sloppy rush job. 😉
@@RollingSolo Yeah, I do like that they're offering a standee pledge too, so maybe I'll swing around and pick it up later after I've made a dent in my backlog a bit.
Yes there will be a standee version it might have miniatures for the characters too but that is something the designers are still looking into. The pricepoint of the standee version will roughly be around €100/115 not included vat and shipping.
I can understand your concern. They’re going to be removable/reusable. When you see how they’re used on cards to make them customizable I think you’ll like it!
I have personally never seen a campaign that came with wash baseline. It is always an add-on so that people who like to paint can start with basic grey
@@arcaderunner2188 Many people get the wash. I actually wonder if more people get them washed than don't. It is best for marketing to show off the game in the best light. I personally would love to see all standees honestly
Yes, there is sundrop applied to them as mentioned in the video on screen. That’s a great question for the campaign page. I know Sundrop will be an option tho!
In minority here but this actually turned me off from the game it looks way too complicated and not a fan of the map tiles. Still yet to back a new game in 2024. Hopefully evershade will be more up my alley. If not I guess I'll late pledge Odalin
@@RollingSolo my wallet is happy at least. Not that I need any more games. Just started 7th citadel and kinfire Chronicles and have Arydia and the update pack for isofarian guard coming soon. That's a years worth of gaming right there at least
I don’t believe it will be complicated based on what I’ve played. Medium weight imo. Which is a great place to be for a campaign game. More action and less learning.

Can not wait to explore the narration of this game. I checked the rumor sheet and had a blast. I need more. Release it, already !!!!
haha breathe breathe!! If only it could turn around that quick. I mean I could but man would it be a mess. See you in the future gameplay videos. 👍🏼
Really looking forward to your playthrough. The gamefound page is reaaaalllly ambitious.
It’s got a lot going for it! 😄👍🏼
More content to come.
K, it's been 14 hours where the gameplay :P Looking forward to this one!
🤣 *stress increasing*
Probably the first game i'll back this year
Probably the 14th for me 😆
Nice! Glad this one sparked your interest. I’ll help you decide on it soon. 🔥
Pledge is sure. Very nice set of components. Some minis are stunning. Art is gorgeous, and cards layout looks very clear with all that content to fit. Adventure tiles are really awesome.
Game loop up to now looks very streamlined even with so many possibilities. Looking forward to this campaign!
Me too! Should be a blast to show off on camera. See you then my friend. 🔥
This looks interesting. Can't wait to see your live play.
Hey Michael! Glad it sparked your interest. More to come. 👏🏼
Been very interested in this. Phew that's ALOT of cards in a prototype!
There was a lot! Carpal tunnel was kicking in after this one. 😜
@@RollingSolo 😁how many cards were they?
I didn’t count but it was enough and showed all on screen. The final version will have more for sure.
Thanks for the unboxing, the game looks amazing ! I am looking forward for the upcoming videos.
I got you covered in the future. 😉
The TH-cam buffer really doesn't want me to watch this video. 🤣

I think it is amazing...😮
Awesome! Glad it peaked your interest 🎲
Can’t wait for the play-through!!
Hey! I hope you enjoy it. Glad to hear the excitement for it 😄👍🏼
Can't wait, been waiting for this one to be showcased
Hope you enjoy it!
I really like the look of those minis
They certainly pop and the sundrop looks nice!
The next big battle with the land of Evershade, by the awaken realms! It would be interesting to see both games.
Evershade isnt until November most likely. I plan on getting both personally. Each will have its own distinct feel and playstyle. Story of Many is also more of a true crowdfunding passion project.

oh shit this is perfect, how I wish this game came to my country Brazil... :(
Hopefully it does well enough it can expand or you can having it shipped from elsewhere second hand. Thanks for watching!
Looking interesting... If only i did not have to beat my way to the rest of all the tainted grail content i still have to explore 😅👍 but this looking nice 😊
Sure does! TG is a fun experience as well. 👏🏼
It reminds me a lot of Folklore: The Affliction. :)
Interesting! I can see some connections. Thanks for watching! 😄
This looks really good to me. Gameplay is critical though.
100% and I have you covered there as always. 🔥
Such an ambitious project. The scale of written content and the incredible amount of iconography and monster behaviours might be too much? I look forward to your gameplay videos to help showcase how smoothly and balanced it all is.
The written content is off the charts. I’ll give you gameplay in the near future. You can count on that!
Looks really cool! My problems are space (to store any new BG) and time (to play campaign games) ... so I will most likely have to skip it.
That’s fair! Tough choices with lots of options out there. Space is always a factor and time.
Thank you for the great UNBOXING... i am also interested in this game... and will defiantly check it out @Spiel Essen :) And i hope they will remove those numbers on the bases... looks strange to me🤪and also the miniatures look a little big maybe 36mm? hope they will tune them down to the "normal" standard like 28/32mm.

It’s in the works! Stay tuned my friend and enjoy Spiel Essen! Would love to go someday. 😄
@@RollingSoloyea no hurry. Quality over velocity 👍🏻🙌
100% 🔥
Will they have forteller for it?
That’s a great question. That would be an amazing add-on.
Today is a nice day for a gameplay video.. what do you think?
Thanks for watching! Looking forward future content around gameplay. Cheers!

I have you covered there Sam! Stay tuned my friend. 😄
Can´t wait on gameplay do you know ETA.? I´ll probably don´t go for Elder Scrolls BSE because of this.
@@Ciprful they will announce the launch date in the next update wich will probably come at the end of this week.
@@9291slet I do not need launch date, I need gameplay video :) I was on verge with Elder Scrolls but it´s not like my cup of tea, so waiting for this. I mean ETA of gameplay video from Rolling Solo :)
@@Ciprful a gotcha yeah we needed that gameplay video yesterday 😆.
Gameplay will come this month so stay tuned. 😄👍🏼
@@RollingSolo yeah I know I am just kidding around. We are just all eager to see this game in action, but to be honest I rather have you take youre time and produce a good quality video than a sloppy rush job. 😉
Map looks nice. Not a fan of stickers in games though.
Understandable. I had my doubts too but I also realized I don’t really care that much if removable.
Part of me is really excited for this, and the other is looking at my unplayed campaign game backlog and is realizing that this is going to be a pass.
That’s ok! Glad I could highlight it for you. Maybe something to check out in the future? 🙂
@@RollingSolo Yeah, I do like that they're offering a standee pledge too, so maybe I'll swing around and pick it up later after I've made a dent in my backlog a bit.
Certainly a nice option for those that want it. Always nice to see!
Does it brings extra character sheets or they will be printable
Both! 4 sheets of each class and they'll be available and printable on the website and Discord.
Nice!
I like everything but the fighting board; seems a little bit limited
Seems like it but more on that in future videos. 😄
Any idea if this will have a standees version?
Great question! Not sure off hand. Check the campaign page in the video description for more details. Good question to ask there too!
Yes there will be a standee version it might have miniatures for the characters too but that is something the designers are still looking into. The pricepoint of the standee version will roughly be around €100/115 not included vat and shipping.
@@9291slet fantastic news! Then I'm definitely backing this!
Standee version is for sure which makes it even more accessible for people that don’t want minis and a lower cost too.
Stickers...ugh why...reminders of Dragonfire, Shadowrun Crossfire, and Jaws of the Lion...not a fan of destroying player cards, player sheets etc.
I can understand your concern. They’re going to be removable/reusable. When you see how they’re used on cards to make them customizable I think you’ll like it!
Those minis are washed and dry-brushed. Is that what the game will ship with, or will they be plain PVC?
I have personally never seen a campaign that came with wash baseline. It is always an add-on so that people who like to paint can start with basic grey
@@MacScelaro Exactly, so why does the prototype “unboxing” show minis that look far superior to what we will get…
@@arcaderunner2188 Many people get the wash. I actually wonder if more people get them washed than don't. It is best for marketing to show off the game in the best light. I personally would love to see all standees honestly

In minority here but this actually turned me off from the game it looks way too complicated and not a fan of the map tiles. Still yet to back a new game in 2024. Hopefully evershade will be more up my alley. If not I guess I'll late pledge Odalin
Hey Erik! That’s a-ok. As long as you find something you like most, that’s the win!
@@RollingSolo my wallet is happy at least. Not that I need any more games. Just started 7th citadel and kinfire Chronicles and have Arydia and the update pack for isofarian guard coming soon. That's a years worth of gaming right there at least
Oh geez! You’re good for awhile. Simmer down! 🤣
I can’t speak, I also buy too many new games to often. It’s a curse.
The designers said that the weight of the game is going to be between 2.75/3 so it might not be as complicated as you expect.
I don’t believe it will be complicated based on what I’ve played. Medium weight imo. Which is a great place to be for a campaign game. More action and less learning.
The story of one. The story of TWO! The story of maaaaaaaaaany ... nope, I'm out.
I See what you did there 😂
🤣
The Acolyte was a Star Wars High Republic RPG that went off the rails, so this fits well
😄👍🏼
First!
Yes indeed! 😄👍🏼
