The issue I had with this rulebook was that I had to read the entire book before it started to click. Most books give you absorbable concepts along the way. I didn't get that from this so seeing your playthrough was a great help.
Great playthrough showing a lot of the (quirky) rules in action, including rebattling the tyrant and how gearlocs can actually help each other...but if the dice are against you...what can you do...exactly: play again! Especially nice to see you play your own game: making your own decisions for a reason. I might have done it differently, but that is exactly what makes watching these playthroughs fun and educational. Well done!
There are no Klingon subtitles, so that means you must not have made a mistake!!
Great game!
In day 8 the corrosive would not have been problem even if it was to have attacked Emily instead of you as all you would do is NOT apply the atk dice she rolled as you don’t have to, but then use the shield bash to the baddie thereby using up the shield dice and therefore corrosive(if rolled) would have had no shield die to destroy
I believe irl that most natural poisons are actually healed by other poisons so having a p2 be replaced with p1 is not completely odd. Having said that I use the book rule with new players and maintain the p2 when playing with exp, and if playing on hardest lvl will add the 2 together (for 3) in the eg you were playing.
Just played mulmesh with the same setup - came here looking for tips because we got ruined by the owl bear and a stone golem in the finale…. It was like watching a replay of our game!
Hope the video helped :)
I would recommend putting some comments on the Lockpicking attempt. Here's how it should have gone (I think): Save the Mech Pick. Roll for the first lock. On Emilie's first roll, she rolled 1 L on the yellow die, so she could have re-rolled the Brown die looking for 2L. Then, if she failed that attempt, she could make another attempt. If she made it, she could have attempted the second lock or used the Mech Pick. Leaving the 6 F for you to attempt.
Also, double-check ... is an entire second attempt you get? Or a free re-roll of all dice if you don't get anything you need on the first roll? I've always played it as one full re-roll, rather than one extra attempt. But you were reading from the rulebook, so I'm second-guessing that.
Thank you for all of these tutorials and playthroughs, Paul! I’ve really enjoyed watching them!
A question: At 59:55, Picket has a yellow bones in his backup plan and then rolls 2 defense dice. I believe he is only allowed to roll 1 here. Can you confirm this is correct?
Edit: my mistake, I did not realize that defense dice in backup plan don’t count against your defense dice total!
@Gaming Rules, I just watched the video till end. It was very much enjoyable and thanks for sharing such content. But when I came to and recalled, patches was playing heroic level and picket on adventure level. And on end of day 9 patches has 13 skills (12+ 1 with innate) & picket has only 12 skills. I thought picket will be at 14 skills as she start off with 2 health and 2 extra skills. Correct me if I am wrong.
You might be right :)
I count 10 stats + 3 skill dice for Picket and 9 + 3 for Patches going into the tyrant fight on day 9. This seems right as Emilie got 2 HP + 1 training point (not 2) while Paul only had 1 + 1.
