Leshy is a Slavic 'forest spirit' type thing, sort of like an old man nymph or dryad that watches over an area of forest and doesn't tolerate anyone disrespecting his territory, such as doing things like hunting and chopping down trees without express permission, or even just passing through unannounced. They can be appeased, or even befriended, but the wrath of a Leshy is a terrible thing.
Speaking of a D&D setting with dead or missing gods, grimdark premisis, and incentive to fraternize with dark powers, there exists an setting called Grim Hollow for 5e. It might be worth a look.
Dodgeroll on B is probably going to make most sense to most people. This is what I usually bind it to, unless it's something like Cross Code where I am aiming with the right stick, then it's much better on one of the shoulder buttons, as you can dodge and aim at the same time 9and this is actually a mechanic in Cross Code where you can dodge mid aim, it teaches you it in the 3rd combat tutorial)
Dude, this is crazy, the music itself gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside, and the gameplay and cult management looks so fun! I'll probably add thos to my list of favorites with the likes of Dead Cells and Darkest Dungeon!
On one hand, I really want to watch more of this, on the other, I don't want to spoil anything. I kind of ended up doing that with Hades. Also, does that background music sound similar to AC: Odyssey for anyone else?
this feels like a mix of dragon quest builders and binding of isaac, wrapped up in a cuphead artstyle with a satanic theme. i like it, we need more games like this, that take 2 genres that dont normally intersect and make them work.
15:50 hes talking about the D&D thing he was thinking about, and it reminds me of a web-novel/comic im reading called omniscient reader's viewpoint, with the "borrowing power from other-worldly beings"
My dad has made a homebrew campaign where the players have to decide whether to aid the archfae that made the new plane in getting it cemented. They also can aid the void entity that wants the plane destroyed because it was created in its domain. Depending on their decisions and how they end it, they could become gods or spread their faith to the new plane. The new plane has no gods until it gets cemented.
I think centering a game of D&D around the concept of making deals with entities is an interesting idea. Just know that you will have to deal in a fairly "transactiony" sort of way. People know the tropes. And I have been on the side where we looked at the wording of a deal offered to us for a good hour and a half, just to reject it in the end. I feel a bit conflicted about the idea of trading favours. Maybe do that in a sort of, "players do a task and I pay them when they need it," fashion. Else you will run into the problem of "the service has been provided, you must pay up now." While the service in question was not worth the price that they weren't told. Just my two cents from a writing perspective.
That's a solid perspective, but at the same time the best answer is just try to write interesting characters, even if you're writing nothing but evil gods it doesn't mean they have to have unfavorable pay offs, you could think of it as Chaos in Hades, where it's always worth it, if you don't suck.
You can have somthing like blessings and curses. A blessing can be you get a buff to your strength but you get a small debuff to somthing else. And if you have gods and demons with diffrent ranks you can get a curse that will give you better blessings from low rank gods but high rank gods will give you worse blessings. And another curse can that both the buff and debuff has more effect. Edit: then you don’t need to worry about the wording. Example ”accept my blessing and you will become stronger but you will be less charmig( buff strength, debuff to charisma)”
Hearing you say wolf in Lambs clothing about the god so got me to thinking that it's going to use your body as a conduit by manifesting in your body and wearing you as a living coat of lamb.
Can't wait for the release. Got it preordered already, and I think it has all the potential to be in my top 3 most played roguelikes along with Hades and Neon Abyss
Decorations actually do have a practical use. They'll sometimes be requested by followers, but they also generate faith, like, in general, and keep followers happy.
Damnit, now I want to replay Hades As for the "Making a deal with entities" thing, check out the Choice of the Deathless series for some ideas; essentially one of the biggest professions is being a lawyer to prevent contracts of that type from being too onesided in the favor of demons, while still having to appease local gods and the like.
This is something I've been wanting to see you play I also was holding out hope that when you have the time to check out a game Called "GODHOOD" I'd really like to see you make a playthrough of it Keep up the good gaming Wander
This looks nice, but I remember I stopped being interessted because I some features I don't fully remember not being in the game. Nothing promised as far as I remember, but something that made it slightly less interessting.
try puting the worshipers back to manual labor and back to worshiping, if they give you one devotion each time they arrive at the shrine, well, you can generate it faster
I actually play with family a lot for D&D, and funny that wander says that No D&D is better than bad D&D, my dad actually says the opposite, "Any D&D is better than no D&D."
I disagree, i have a MORON of a friend who is starting a campaign, without any knowledge of the game outside of flying by the seam of their pants in mine. To give some examples of what they had before i talked to them. A plot where the races just suddenly went to war (and expects the party to be multiracial) An enemy who just teleports one of the party into the sea of fire. Is trying to ban certain classes because people he doesn’t like, likes those classes. Tried to make a vampire the first enemy.
The main issue with your dnd setting idea is that it would come with a lot of limitations that would rub modern 5e-players the wrong way and be almost impossible to get help with or talk to anyone about with endless "you're doing it wrong, nerd"s. I actually have a fairly similar setting to what you're talking about. Most races are not inherently magical. They have to make deals with entities or blaspheme in various ways in order to gain access to magic. All of which result in various brands around the body (literally in the case of wizards). Mechanically this means there are no sorcerers, and none of the classes learn spells inherently through level up. Instead they have to source scrolls, tutors, magic manuals, ingestible monster parts, and holy texts. Which often makes them beholden to outside entities. That isn't just a warlock thing in this setting. Wizards and witches form covens and academies out of neccessity, not just for the joys of learning. Clerics form churches because the devotion they show their god is what lets them get access to higher spells. Druids keep groves because the magic inherent in the world that they use for their spells has to be cultivated and empowered more and more in order to get access to more potent spells. The process of improving your level is baked into the struggle and network of playing that class. Which means you have to do *incredible* amounts of effort if you multiclass. It also means that, for the average 5e player that makes their character and then comes to the table expect the DM to cater to them and bend the world to suit their character, they just simply can't play in this setting. They have to weave their character soundly into the setting and let themselves be beholden to the various organizations and structures found there in. Which most players seem to find anathema in my experience.
I see where your going with this, but im sorry that you deal with those players. I get that most players expect a small level of flexibility from the DM, but only as much as an improvising when something goes different from planned. DnD is about the story you want to make, not what the handbooks say you should make. And those players who want you to cater to their every whim, they can find someone else to bully.
I love dnd i am just bad at making friends so know one plays it with me i would love to play dnd with you but i am an idiot and sound younger then i am
Remember when dnd was for nerds and loosers only? Hell there was cultscare ages ago becouse DND had magic. Now everyone does it. Also Warhammer is superior:D

Also appeared in Witcher, Inscryption and Thea: The Awakening/Shattering;o) Fascinating mythology!
Leshy is the youngest of the 4
just noticed there were 4 in both games
Was one of the guys in Inscyption named leshy? I feel like I remember that
@@Toddis yeah he was the guy in the cabin
I love how Ratau has a little paper hat version of a crown.
Yeah, he's TOTALLY not going to stab you in the back later...
Nah, like he said, he was in your position some time ago. he just wants to retire and play dice with his buddies.
You can just sacrifice him...
Oh... its quite the opposite, actually. We are the ones doing the stabbing 😈
and he never does
@@sean-ryanpetersen3183 its not cards
I read this title as "I will build a cult of CARBS" and was like 'oh, neat, a bread army!' ...
But i guess crabs will have to do.
Bread army would have been better :c
carb crabs for some reason came to mind, and Now I wanna see an animation of something related to bread based crabs...
BAGGUETTE PINCHERS.
@@Laughing_Dragon Great idea, I'll send it to the mmo guy.
@@Laughing_Dragon He said he was already working on that idea for the pets.
@@knightbread your name!!!! HAAAHHAHAHAHAH
wolf in sheep clothing would explain the veil over it's face and the faces of it's minions. I think your theory is probably correct!

I've actually played a small campaign in that setting. Was actually pretty fun.
Oooo gunna check that out
I love the hat weapons its like if Cappy from mario odyssey was out for blood
Yea
Your D&D idea works perfect with the "Red Opera" Setting
At least the whole deals-thing
It is set in a city of warlocks

Yeah chalk me up to wanting to watch but think I'm gonna wait till release
it is pure pain to not want to be spoiled T-T
only a few more days to wait!!
@@MissMultiConsole positivity is key
Yeah I watched so much Hades that there was no point in buying the game anymore
Looking forward to part 2. This is genuinely one of the games I'm most looking forward to this Summer.
Your idea for a D&D campaign sounds like Stormbringer, in that system you made demon pacts to cast spells.
I think that the idea Wanderbots had about his D&D campaign sounds a lot like Shin Megami Tensei/Digital Devil Saga/Persona, I like it!
I can't wait for the full release. This looks cool and cute.

Finally, Cult of the Lamb.
This game is so sick, can't wait to play it. Didn't even know it was a thing until today

i just realized this reminds me of a movie i watched once, mostly the art style

I can't wait for the full release I pre-ordered the game and can't wait to have fun playing it
Curse of the dead Gods meets Don't starve? Neat;o)
The art is like Paper Mario and the gameplay is like a mix of Hades and Forager
The combat reminds me of Ember Knights
I imagine you've probably played that
This is something I've been wanting to see you play
I also was holding out hope that when you have the time to check out a game Called "GODHOOD"
I'd really like to see you make a playthrough of it
Keep up the good gaming Wander
Honestly the game I'm most reminded of while playing the roguelite half of the game is Binding of Issac.
I love this so much, can't wait to see more of this!
Can we get Chelle to be a narator for the story?
However it would be more humourous if the voices didn't match the characters
I don't need sleep I need lambs
This looks nice, but I remember I stopped being interessted because I some features I don't fully remember not being in the game. Nothing promised as far as I remember, but something that made it slightly less interessting.
ThE Crustaceans Crabs Cult
even before you said bastion ... i said bastion .. its got the same crunch to the combat - this looks like it may be a real winner
I stopped what I was doing to watch this as soon as I read “cult of crabs”
What a cool concept
Great to see this game again!
Le crab clut
Le crab slut?
Can't wait until this community gets stans.
I like how you went for absolutely imeadeatly
the name Leshy just reminds me of that game Inscrpytion, specially the the music in the first area sounding like leshy's theme from that game
26:47 bird jumpscare
try puting the worshipers back to manual labor and back to worshiping, if they give you one devotion each time they arrive at the shrine, well, you can generate it faster
huh.. I didn't think the game would play like this. I was expecting more of a town builder to make a cult.
it's a town building roguelike hybrid it's an interesting concept.
i guess faith is your major clock to stop permanent farmvill
Oh yea wander you can break the training dummies for extra wood!
Woke up to this video, was watching Ultra-C play Nova Drift
this was a nice surprised to wake up to though
If any of my players of my DnD campaign see this video, please know that my major Gods died a long time ago before this game came out.
cute art and lamb for sure
If building building gives faith, decorations probably also gives faith.
seems like the bosses are named after goetia demons (at least the 2 you met were)
if that means we'll get 72 bosses, i'm all in
0:10 instent buildup just to shoot me in the back XD
3:50 well acording to your last vid its witch and the hundren knite but you dont like that
26 minutes into watching this and I bought the game. Wow does it look fun.
2 things that tell you a game is good, "Devolver Digital" and "fmod"
Sorry can't watch I want to play blind but I still love your vids so i'm just going to leave a like!
I want to play this game so bad, next thursday cannot come soon enough
Corrupt their souls! Drive them to madness! Slaghter to the laughter of uncaring gods! For the glory of Chaos!

Im wondering if u can change the doctrine you have picked later on in the game
OW DID YOU GET IT?!?! it hasnt released yet!!
This game is like crying Isaac
No d&d is indeed better than bad d&d
Shoulda named it the krusty krab
Leshy is a Slavic thing.
This is a reskinned moonlighter
God I fucking love devolver
This game kind of reminds me of swords of ditto
Getting some Binding of Isaac vibes from this....though not quite as ....grotesque
Cult Of The Crustacean
