Hello and welcome to the Weekly Scroll Podcast.
My name is Ryan and today we are going to be doing something
special for those watching. You can see this is not our
normal setup. That is because we are doing a
special marching order special that James will talk about in a
second. And joining me today, we have a
bunch of also very special people.
We have Matt Morris of Mandodon Table Tops.
How are you doing, Matt? Doing well, doing well.
Great to be here. Thanks for thanks for inviting
me. Absolutely.
We have Janelle, who used to be a regular on the show, hope to
have her back more often, but she's here as well.
How's it going? I'm amazing.
It's gorgeous. You, you are amazing.
Janelle, thank you. You too.
And then then we have the main character for today that is
James of Crumbling Keep. How's it going, James?
It has been a day, but it's going well and it's going well
on the launch party, The launch party tonight, we have a reason
to celebrate. We funded.
This is great. Yeah, it funded, it funded and
more. And also for those on YouTube,
it doesn't matter to you in the future because you're not here
in chat with us. But in chat.
We also have Brad of Kremlin Keep.
They are going to be keeping all of these rogues in check for us
in there. So thank you so much, Brad, for
being here as well. But but yeah, so, so I guess
first of all, what the heck? What the heck are we doing here,
James? What?
What happened today? Why is today such a great day
for us? So today started about like
what, three years ago when we first launched Marching Order,
it was Zen Quest. It was like peak pandemic.
Everyone was getting in solo games.
I mean, I'm saying all this in retrospect, I didn't know this
at the time, but we released our first solo game during Zen Quest
and it was marching ordered the MUD and blood edition, which we
plan to be 1 little Zen. And then as we bit funded and we
created it, it ended up being like 2 soft cover books in a box
set and a bunch of cards. But in the back of that very
first book, we had an ad for the sewers of Rock bottom because we
were certain that was the second thing we were going to release.
So many people were interested. For folks who aren't familiar
with Marching Order, it's a, it's a bit game bookie meets
like game like board gamey solo RPG.
It's like really, I'm having trouble knowing what to call it
now lately, honestly. But anyway, we wanted to make a
random dungeon generator, so once you got through the
adventures, you could keep playing.
So we had that ad in the back of the book.
We're certain that it was going to be the next thing that we put
out. And then through many, many
iterations later, we decided, wait, no, this isn't just an
expansion, it's a whole new addition.
So yeah, we launched that this morning.
The Marching Order Curse in coin box set.
We launched it over on Kickstarter.
It was our was and is our most ambitious project yet and we
funded in the first like 2 1/2 hours and that was great.
And so now we're here to celebrate play through a
completely never seen before and actually never even play tested
delve yet of marching order. So it's not edited.
It's it might be a little rocky going, but I think it's going to
be a lot of fun anyway. And the delve we're going to
play today is it's not even named, but it's going to be the
first one in the new campaign book in the Curse and Coin
edition, which takes place in the gallows, which is kind of
like the thieves quarter of rock bottom.
But yeah, that's that's what happened today and what we're
doing here. Yeah, I am very excited.
Obviously, you know, you've been on the show before.
We've talked about more, two more reviewed on the show
before. You've also, I mean guested on
our show for side quests and stuff like that become good
friends of here here at weekly Score, which we appreciate and
we're really glad to have you guys with us for for the launch
party. So thank you.
And we're doing so we're we're playing, but there's more going
on today too. I still need to set this up.
So remind me in just a second to do that.
But there's going to be a lot of stuff for chat today as well,
right? That is definitely true.
Gosh, there's something, Oh, I want to remind you about Subs
you want to just talk about real quick.
Do you want to get into that before I talk about chat?
Don't, don't, don't sub to us. Do not sub to us.
We appreciate it. I I want to keep our affiliate
status because we get fun stuff, but I don't want to make any
money off of you. So do us a favor, follow all you
want, but please do not sub to our channel.
So on that note, yeah, what we're doing for the chat.
So thanks everybody for coming. I love that you're here to
celebrate. We're going to give a bunch of
free crap away. Well, not crap.
A bunch of our games and supplements and things like that
for Marching, other Order and other RPGs.
And two of the two of the really big things we're giving away is
going to be 1 and a copy of the box set for Marching Order,
Blood and Blood Edition. A good deal of time out of print
at this point and really hard to find.
There are not many left in the wild out there.
And when it prints a copy of the Marching Order curse and coin
box set, but also a lot of other like zenes pamphlet adventures
and other fun stuff along the way.
So that's it. Look at that, right?
There. Yeah, very excited.
I'm going to be setting up a couple of other things while we
go through all of this, including some of the giveaway
stuff. And then I will let chat know
what what to hit to put yourself into the giveaway.
But why don't you just take it away?
And if I ask you to repeat yourself, I'm sorry my ADHD is
happening right now. You are doing great.
Should I start diving into a little bit of setup while you're
doing that? Absolutely.
Please do. OK, so we're going to do it by
the numbers. We are.
So the idea of marching order is it is a solo or Co-op game.
So you like you could and like I think most people do kind of
play this all alone. And the only thing that changes
when you play with more people is how many rogues you control.
So if you're playing it by yourself, you're going to
control 4 rogues. Since there's four of us, we're
each going to control 1 when it comes to making decisions in the
game. I'm not going to make those
because I kind of wrote it and I kind of know some of the
outcomes. So I'm just there to provide
support and swing a sword on occasion.
But since there are four of us, we are each going to start with
150 coins. Now thing about those coins is
they are used to both buy your starting rogue and also outfit
them with gear. So the more they're like all
rogues do not cost the same amount of money.
Some are better than others, but the more expensive rogue you buy
the less gear you're probably going to be able to buy to
outfit them. OK, so we got 150 coins and our
next step is to buy our rogues or folks that are looking to do
that. Is this the right page?
Yes. OK, so unfortunately I didn't
open the PDF so I might be a little off with pages here.
I'm looking at my physical copy, but in the physical copy they
start on page 62 with The Alchemist.
OK, so. Each one of us will be.
Looking to buy one of those? Go ahead.
Yeah. So let's, so for us in the
stream, we're actually, we're doing character creation right
now, right? So I'm going to go to page 62
and actually pay attention and write this stuff down.
So yeah, the only thing like it might have missed out on is the
150 coins you have and you are using part of that to buy a
Rogue. So you'll notice they kind of
vary in price from like 100 to 200 and whatnot, and there are
some that are 150. We are playing this as a team,
at least somewhat. So The thing is, if you buy 150
coin rogue, you might not have enough left to buy gear, you
know? So you kind of want to balance
your options there. Anyone have any ideas?
Anything pulling out your heartstrings as to what you want
to be I. Want to be a doctor?
Think you should be the doctor? I should be a doctor.
Be the doctor. I had a joking thought before I
even jumped on tonight and I was like, I want to be the guy that
carries the torch and I'm seeing the torch bearer and he's free.
I mean the cool thing about like the torch bearer is not the best
character but with 150 coins to just spend on gear, you know and
you might be able to make up for it.
It is a team game. What do you guys think?
Absolutely. I'm supportive.
Yeah, I'm the torch bear. I'm the torch bear.
OK, so I'm now with all of my. You can buy something expensive
now because I'll buy you all your gear.
Yeah, I want to almost be ridiculous and be the Cosmic
Marine just because I'm so deeply in mesh in Warhammer
right now. But we have what?
What? What are you going to go with,
James? You know, I was kind of kind of
waiting to see what what pulls your we'll pull that you there.
Like I think we we need someone that can.
I would say we probably still need someone that can stand up
to the blunt force trauma at the front of the line.
And I felt like I kind of felt like I was going to be a tank.
I feel like I always end up being the tank because
everyone's like, I want to pick this cool, interesting
character. And since I go last, I'm like,
all right, I'll be the tank. Are you thinking, what do you
what do you think? Night or sell sword.
Well, so we got 150 coins and the knight is 200.
Oh, can I? Yeah.
So that was the idea, yeah. Can I give 50 of my unspent
coins? I don't know what do you think
in chat? Should we allow some rogues to
give each other coins or are they too greedy?
I think they're too greedy I. Think they're greedy fucks?
Let's go with sell sort and they've only got 1 less 1 less
defense and it's within my budget and we're we're doubling
on a budget friends. So I'm going to go with the Cell
sword. OK, I'm going to go with maybe.
Let's see, what do we got? We got a cell sword, we got a
doctor, we got a torch bearer. I think I'm going to maybe bring
up the rear with the Archer. Nice.
OK, great. So them's your characters, as
you can see looking at them, you have actions, qualities and
flaws. I mean, you see your stop blocks
there. Your stop blocks you don't need
to worry about. That's just what they are.
You don't need to roll anything. Change them.
You bought this person, this is what they got, right?
So your actions, we all have our basic action for free.
So whatever action is up top there in the description, we all
have that. And when you're starting a new
character, you get to pick one more.
So that'll probably be first is what action do you want to pick
for your character? And while books are looking at
that, I do want to mention one of the things I'm excited about
in this new edition is, you know, Brad and I've played the
old edition a good amount by this point.
And we have figured out what we absolutely want to change about
it. And one of the biggest things
I'm excited about is the stats for the rogues and the monsters
are all going to be on their cards.
So no more flipping back and forth through the book a
million, a million times to, like, find out.
Oh, well, now the goblins turn to go.
I need to flip to the goblin page.
And now I need to flip back to my page to see what this ability
does. So I'm.
Yeah, I'm pretty stoked about that.
Yeah, that'll be, you know, usability is always a plus, you
know, one that we care about deeply on the show.
So I'm very excited for that. Yeah, it wasn't something that
was as in my vocabulary when we first made this, and I feel it
now. Take your damn medicine, that's
my choice. What's that one do?
Target yourself or a creature adjacent to you.
You may remove one of their conditions.
Cool down 3. That's a good choice.
So cooldowns, powers generally like except for our basic powers
are all going to have cooldowns. And so when you use a power
usually like put a dice on it, if you're playing, you know, on
a table and every time it's your turn, at the beginning, your
turn, you count that dice down by 1.
And when the dice goes away, you can use that power again.
I'm going to go with Reign of Arrows, which lets me make an
attack roll versus every enemy. But it's got a cool down of
five, so it takes a while and it only does half damage.
But still, that's a That's a lot of arrows.
I'm going to go with No, no, not me.
As a reaction, when an enemy attacks me, I can redirect it.
If I roll for or above, I can redirect it to an adjacent one
of y'all. Glad to see I'm seeing the love
and care here in this party already.
Hey, I'm holding that torch. I'm keeping it light in the
dark. I'm going to be the first
target. So, so I'm still doing stuff
here in the background. So you said we pick one of these
actions at the top, correct? Yep, I'm going to go with.
You do have the basic one for free, but you get to pick one
other one. I jump off screen.
Always keep a knife in your boot.
Dirty trick and we don't have to do this.
The one I have to pay coins for so I'm not doing that.
I feel like my cell sword is cheap AF.
I'm going to go with always keep a knife in your boot.
It's got a pretty low cooldown. I target an adjacent enemy and
make a physical attack roll versus their defense, and the
creature suffers half damage. I'm gonna go with that and then
I can also take the pack and slash tape, so that's great.
Yeah, little second attack there, never hurt anybody with a
little knife in the boot. Well, I mean, I guess, I guess I
won't hurt some people, but you know, you know.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. And hopefully not anyone behind
you. Just keep the knife pointing
forward. That would be great for everyone
involved. OK, so Next up on your character
sheet, you see there's actions and rather not actions, I'm
sorry, qualities and flaws. So this gives your rogue a
little bit of like random color. And at the end of your turn,
once everything else is done, you roll what we affectionately
call the bullshit dice. We were going to like it was
just a stand in name for the mechanic when we are making the
game. And we're like, no, this is the
stays. It's the bullshit dice.
We're not going to name this anything else because we roll it
and bullshit happens. So when you do that, if you roll
A6, you're going to have a quality happen.
If you roll 1A, flaw is going to happen.
Anything in between, nothing happens.
But it's a little bit of spice at the end of your turn there.
So to figure out what your qualities and flaws are, you're
going to roll them randomly. A little 6 sided dice on your
quality or flaw table will tell you what you got.
We we have we have we we have a dice roller for that friendos.
Excellent. And that that gets generated
randomly at the end of our term when when we roll either A1 or
A6 or before the game starts. Before the game starts, Yeah,
whatever. You'll have the same quality and
fly every time you roll that. Cool, cool.
So yeah, I'm going to roll for my quality and I got a three.
Same dice as everybody else because I can't figure out how
to change everybody's dice. So for bees.
Yeah, so I got that was a great shot.
My next action can target an adjacent enemy to the target
that I'm targeting, you know, say target about 20 more times
to explain that. So yeah, it's nice little kind
of second shot if I roll that on my next turn.
So I either find a free torch or I drop a torch and the.
Torch economy lives on. Yep, Yep.
I qualities I left an opening. I immediately take a second
action. An ounce of prevention is worth
a pound of cure. You gain the condition armored.
Oh, that's. A good one.
Nice. OK, now we get to do the same
thing for our flaws. After flaws, I'm going to start
the giveaways to remind me and yeah.
That'll be a perfect time for it, right?
So I rolled my dice and I got shit out of arrows.
I gained a condition stunned, which basically means I miss my
next turn as I figure my life out.
Which like, happens to me enough in real life.
Yeah, so I got oh, Dang, I dropped the torch and yeah, but
it does say that I can drop a torch that's half used or so,
so. Oh.
That's good. Yes, be sure to keep a bunch of
half used torched everywhere. Doctor needs her medicine too.
You gain the condition weakened. I'm going to be tough, but weak.
Just watch. I've had my party years too.
I get it, Doctor. Let me pin the Kickstarter link
real quick so people will always have access to that at the top
of chat. Make sure if you haven't packed
it to go back that Kickstarter. And my flaw bring this up again
is I thought you were the enemy. Target a random ally, make a
physical attack role versus their defense.
I think that you're don't stab your party.
I think you cursed me in the curse incarnation here.
It's weird. Because I, I thought I said that
pretty straightforwardly and you're kind of doing the
opposite there. OK, so that's pretty much
character building. We got our characters and our
next step is we bought a roast. OK, we're going shopping folks.
Who doesn't like shopping? So you can find on page.
And again, sorry, I'm using the physical version here.
Page 28 is where the little gear list begins.
I feel like we should have the Torch Bearer buy a few torches,
because the torches the Torch Bearer uses last longer than
anyone else's. Torch Bearer curates those
things, you know, come. Out real quick, right?
We're going. To do the giveaway or at least
start it, we're going to start the giveaway.
I want to fix one thing on here real quick that somehow didn't
come through Boom curse and Quint edition.
That's that's should look better for the people that are watching
the stream. So we're going to start the
giveaway. It's been a while since we did
one of these on stream, so I want to make sure it works
correctly. I'm going to hit start giveaway.
There shouldn't be a timer on it, even though it's reading as
a timer. So in order to join the
giveaway, you just want to do exclamation point curse and you
just, I think you might have to be following.
I don't know if I turn that off. So if it doesn't say, hey,
thanks for joining, just hit that follow button and then do
exclamation point curse again. And and then you'll be able to
do the exclamation point curse. But you don't have to be a sob
or anything. You don't have to do any of
that. We have a lot of people not
following. Why don't I just end this,
change that and because I don't want people to come in not know
that they have to follow So, so everyone stop, hold up, wait a
second. I'm going to cancel that confirm
or cancel that and I'm going to edit it real quick.
Make it where you don't have to be a follower because I don't
give a shit follow us or don't and let's start that up again.
All right, exclamation point curse and it should every time
you do exclamation point curse, it should say thank you for
joining and. So the first thing we'll be
giving away is a pamphlet adventure for Old School
Essentials Troll Hunter, but it looks like we're having maybe a
little tech difficulty on the the giveaway bot.
Yeah, it's. This is actually how we get away
with not giving you anything and trolling you here.
We've been talking about the Sewers Kickstarter for like so
long. So long.
We thought we were going to do it in January of this year and
obviously we did not do that and didn't.
We just started making a joke like we are gas lining you all.
We're just going to keep talking about this and it's never
actually. Going to happen.
And now that we launched it, we just got to do it with the
giveaway to get our Yeah, come on over.
We'll we'll give you free stuff. Sure.
I'm going to just do a new one because for some reason people
weren't getting tickets. Marching order.
Don't use a timer. Advance do not have to be a
follower to win Max tickets, one don't have to be subscriber
don't have to be whatever confirm start giveaway.
All right, so I'm gonna do estimation point curse again.
Yeah, Now, yeah. It's working OK everybody.
Estimation point curse again. Estimation point curse and then
I can close pick winner and reopen that.
So with the number of people in here, everyone should just be
able to win one time. I don't think the bot lets you
win multiple times. And if so, oh OK good job you
win multiple times but that should be it.
Exclamation point curse in the in there and there's we got 17
people in there. Damn.
OK, eight keep keep it going. So whenever they want to do a
giveaway, you guys let me know and I'll just hit the button.
So we were buying torches, right?
Yeah, we were buying torches and whatever else we may need with
our remaining funds. So I thought since I have some
coins, if I buy a backpack as a torch bearer, I already have two
additional slots. With a backpack that puts me up
to 9 slots. Is that correct?
You start with 10. Oh.
Oh, OK, OK. I think I think we got two
different things going on here. So you torches have slots too?
Like every time the text says mark off a slot for your torch
you do that and most people have 4.
So once you mock off your fourth slot the torches burnout, you
need to start another torch. Gotcha.
Torch bearers got sick though. Oh, sick.
OK, I'm with you. So there's like torch slots and
then there's equipment slots, kind of like character level and
spell level and how that will always be the bane of everyone's
existence. Play a different game.
I'm still down to buy a backpack though if folks want me to carry
any of the gear they purchase all.
Right. I don't know if I can afford
more. Than how many slots do we?
Have 10 and your memory is doing just fine, no?
No, no, on vacation. And slots, OK, I was doing a lot
of giveaway stuff. So what page are we on right now
for for buying stuff again? Physical page 28 might be
slightly different for the. Stop, Please don't subscribe.
We don't want your money. Does does buying 5 torches seem
a little like I'm buying too many?
Or is five good? So for you, buying 5 torches
would mean we could go through 30 rooms.
You know what, I just remembered that this particular Delve has a
little stop point that says, hey, do any last minute shopping
you want to do and then go on it.
So why don't I read out the intro text to it and see if it
flavors any of our like oh OK it sounds like maybe I need this
type of bullshit. Love it.
Sound good for everybody? OK so marching order like is is
game bookie in the sense that you are reading through a story
and making decisions right? So on that note, I apologize for
the intro I'm about to read and it's longer than any beginning
text I'd give when I'm running like a normal RPG ish adventure.
And that's probably not the last apology about it you'll get for
me anyway. This is, this is wild.
Like Brad hasn't even actually seen this and played this yet,
so this is, this is kind of exciting for me.
Sigurd stares hungrily at the barkeep across the room and
bites his bottom lip. You have to snap your fingers
multiple times to refocus his attention on you.
The man is a renowned whoremonger and you know the
coin you slipped him for this information is just going to
feed his habit. But that's hardly your problem.
Sorry, he says. I was distracted now, as I was
saying, I spoke to some travellers who came through the
red dirt wood. They were quite drunk on cheap
booze, and I'm certain they're reliable.
Who has ever known a drunkard to lie?
Their faces also had the blush of honesty for reasons of post.
Never mind, that's more than you care to know.
He gives you an exaggerated wink and you forced and you're forced
to choke down more ale to keep from making an annoyed groan.
Such as? One might give out a bad pun.
Yes, Siggard, everyone knows what you're getting at.
In any case, to Travelers say they have spotted but tear of
the ninth ring in the wood. He has set up camp in front of
some large standing stones and no one can recall seeing in the
wood before. He seems quite distracted, and I
don't have to tell you what that means.
No, he certainly does not. The Bent Staff of Pele.
You don't know its origin, but you do know it has a big honk
and blue gem. You also know that any nerd ass
wizard would pay good money for it, and barring that, the gem
would fetch you enough coin to last you to the rest of your
days. And if Bartera is distracted,
maybe an enterprising Rd. could slip in and make off with that
fortune. Sigurd might be a pervy weirdo,
but he's your pervy weirdo. His information is good more
than half the time, and that's more than you can hope for.
Time to gather your crew and set out in the woods, do any last
minute shopping and go to the next passage.
So it sounds like we're going through the.
Woods, right? That was great, by the way.
Thank you, thank you. I'm it's the yeah, I'm I'm kind
of excited about this edition too, because I feel like I've
kind of hit my stride with the writing a little bit too since
the first one and like the flow is a little better.
I'm I'm excited to continue to what I'm really glad the
Kickstarter has launched because now I can get back to working on
the actual game and that's exciting to me.
Oh, wait, there's a Kickstarter. If you haven't gone back to
Kickstarter yet, there's a link at the top of your chat.
Go ahead and back to that Kickstarter.
I'm very excited. I mean, when we reviewed this
the first time, the voice used in the game writing was one of
the things I think we highlighted a bunch that just
kind of like snarky, shitty, funny.
It was, it was so great. It's so great.
And I mean, if you if you've just hit your stride, I'm very
excited because it was it was great with the first one.
So I'm very excited to see that. So 50 coins left.
We have 10 slots. I have, I personally have 50
coins because sell sword cost a hundo.
What did you decide to go with? A backpack?
Yeah, so I'm, I'm going to snag a backpack and five torches and
then I, I kind of thought leaning into the torchbearer,
but also want to be able to help our Group A little bit.
I thought about picking up a couple of things of alchemist
fire. Always nice.
It's also flamy. Like the torchbearer who thinks
he's a wizard who casts fireball.
Like I I want to be that wizard someday.
I really want to support this dream.
Definitely like alchemist fire for the torch bearer.
Just like you. Just you.
You'd live in flames. I imagine you like all scarred
and burnt up from like just playing too much.
I have no eyebrows, like everything is just burned off.
Yeah. You turn this arsenic compulsion
into something like helpful and you're just, like I said, stuff
on fire. But it's for you, you know?
That's great. OK.
I love that this is the person that we're like, yeah, we want
him to come along and hold our torches.
This will be great. Yes.
Gosh what it look I'm looking at the big money items to see if we
so backpack cost the most. The healing potion is huge at
30. Yeah, I'm grabbing.
One of those OK doctor with the healing.
Make. Sense yeah, thematic.
I'm trying to what is the most thematic for a cell sword?
I think caltrops would be good. If we're going to be escaping
people, I think caltrops would be good.
So I did. I did think maybe I'd take
caltrops, but if I'm in front with a torch, I ain't dropping
them behind me because I'm going to be hurting you guys.
Well, no. But here's the problem.
If we turn to run, you're in the back.
This is true. I've got cash for two of them.
So the current, the current escaping rules, which is is one
of the things I'm going to change with the new addition.
There aren't too many rules. I from the first one that I'm
like, wow, I fucked that up. But the escape rules I am.
But anyway, the current escape rules, the person at the back of
the marching order has to escape 1st and then the person in front
of them can run, etcetera, etcetera.
So it takes a long. Time for the whole party to get
away. If that's what you want to do,
so in the current mode of the game, if we have to escape, we
can expect some people at the front to at the very least take
some hits. OK, let's throw.
I'll throw. I'll throw fire at him.
You throw fire. Yeah.
So yeah, I definitely think bandages.
He'll have a roll. They're 15.
Yeah, I'm grabbing one thing of bandages.
Yeah, I think I'm at least get some bandages.
That's 15. My math is bad, but that's one
bandage. So that leaves me at 35, I
think. Is the rope and grapple
something that you generally find useful?
That's what I I took it. OK.
Well, then you have that. That's good.
Yeah, like any of the things that say it might have use on a
delve, it's kind of like a quest item, right?
Like think the the candle in the first Legend of Zelda type of
thing. Everybody needs rope.
Well if Brad says anti venom, I'm taking anti venom.
Yeah, I'm taking one too. But like having, just having
more than one is not a terrible idea for sure.
And it's it's cool because Brad doesn't actually know what is
needed for this Delve, but he has played enough marching
order. And I was like, Oh yeah, things
be nasty. Things be nasty.
That is the sub subtitle for marching order.
Things be nasty. Marching order, curse and coin
edition things be nasty. There we go.
OK, so I have bandages, I've antiband, and I have 25 coin
left. Gosh.
OK, so this has become a shopping episode, everybody.
I'm not going to get a pickaxe. I'm not going to get Tinker
stools. I mean, is it good for us to
have a couple torches too, just in case?
I got one just, you know, in case he falls behind, not the.
Worst, you know. Case I die.
Yeah, like what if we have to run away and leave you to die?
You know, like if you die and we kill what killed you, we get to.
I'll go down in a blaze of glory.
Literally. Literally.
At least a blaze. You know, Yeah, Yeah.
Hey, it's glorious to me. I'm gonna.
Take a holy water. I'm gonna go ahead and I'm gonna
take some cow trips just because I feel like it's the matter for
my character. He's a cell sword.
He ain't dying for you. So if he needs to escape, he
will. And I think that's it.
I think that's it. I got bandages, anti venom, a
torch, some holy water and some cow trips.
Does anyone need me to carry any of their stuff?
I ran out and I have 10 slots and I only spent five, so I'm
good. All right, so you, you're our,
our rogue, but you're basically our hireling, right?
You're our torch bearer and and, and stuff bearer.
You are God, I'm going to I'm I'm a bad nerd.
What is the name of of the guy from from Monty Python at the
beginning? The whole time, yeah.
Yeah. At the beginning, the whole
time, ah. Starts to chat.
Chat, Chat. What is the name of Patsy?
My hat was like Pansy. No, that's not right.
Patsy, Yeah. So you are you.
Are Patsy? Yeah.
Patsy the Pyro. Patsy the pyro that's so
perfect. If you haven't joined the
giveaway, make sure you do exclamation point curse.
There's going to be a bunch of those.
When do you want to do the first one?
Because you got a, you got it. You got a bunch of stuff to give
away. Yeah.
Yeah, I was going to say now's probably a great time for that.
I have to set up the characters here, so that would be great.
So, so for the first giveaway of of a bunch.
So if you don't get this one, there's still more options and
you can join throughout. Hey, Brad, if you could just
occasionally, I know the chat does it automatically.
I don't know how often, but just just remind people to do
estimation point curse. That would be dope because I'm
going to eventually zone in and forget.
So we're going to do our first, our first giveaway here.
And what is this one for? So this is for our old school
essentials adventure, Troll hunter.
I I think we had a really good time when we play tested this
one. It has a lot of there's a lot of
random tables involved. So it really, I feel like it's
the type of thing I could play multiple times and depending on
the group and what was rolled, it's going to turn out
differently every single time. The time we played it, the
characters perhaps main goal was to, yes, liberate the swamp, but
also reconnect one of the trolls with their lost love interest
who was a halfling from town. They died before they could do
that, but they had really good intentions.
And I think one of my favorite parts of this adventure is that
there is a troll generator. So it I went through like a
bunch of like, Hey, what is what are the Norse myths say trolls
can do? And tried to give him a little
more flavor than just like they can only be killed by fiver
fire. So for each troll, you get to
roll on a table to see like, oh, what's their special power?
What do they want? And I think that's where a lot
of the like adventure direction comes from.
But anyway, it's Troll Hunter, our old school essentials
pamphlet adventure. I I'm sure I have that.
If you don't, definitely let me know.
I'll get it. I'll get it to you.
Well, actually. I'll.
Ask Brad to get it to you. He ships now.
All of my stacked stuff here for I have everything you guys have
made. So I know I have it.
It's just a matter of like being able to find it to show it off.
But because you actually at one point sent me an extra box just
so I could hold more marching order stuff.
So I have two boxes full of marching order.
But so, so the other thing to the giveaway is do we want, do
we want people to just like whisper Brad with, with details?
So I think people should like, are you need to be present?
So, so say something in chat after the giveaway happens so I
can see it pop up. It pops up over here or I can
see it. Not you do.
We just want to have them whisper Brad and Brad can keep
track of the winners and get their addresses and everything.
Yeah, that would be absolutely perfect.
OK, great, fantastic. So if if it says that you won,
make sure you say something and then whisper Brad.
If you're not normal, if you're not normally on Twitch, just
click the rad Brad Kish username.
It'll say whisper and then you can talk from there to make sure
that they have all your information.
So I'm going to close the entries for right now.
We're going to pick our first winner for the pamphlet that is
going to be the Ancient Albatross.
Ancient Alpatraz. I saw they just posted.
You hear? Emote.
Yeah, just got here. Great timing.
Perfect timing. Yeah, I see.
I see. Yeah, literally right up there.
I can see that the entry so fantastic.
So that is our first winner for tonight.
That is for the pamphlet. I'm going to resume entries.
That means people as we go can still continue to exclamation
point curse. If you already did exclamation
point curse, you are already in here.
But you know, if you want to keep hitting it, I'm not going
to stop you. So we will open this up for.
The next one. So just remind us at some point
to keep doing those giveaways and we'll just stop and and do
them. So boom, it works.
Look at us. Yeah, I think we have a little
catch up to do on them, so we'll probably do the first one or the
next one rather sooner rather than later.
So yeah, if you have an exclamation point curse to get
involved in that, type that into the chat and you'll be
registered for the next giveaway.
Oh yeah, I guess let's let's talk about what that's going to
be real quick before we move on. Here's my list.
Oh yeah. OK, so we're sticking with the
old school essentials. We'll be going to mercs and
masters. This is our hireling deck for
old school essentials for the specialists and hirelings.
Each one has like stats on one side and also on the other side
it has a little bit of like flavor like who is this person
so that you can. It's also like pretty decent
thing for solo players who just need a quick NPC as well.
But it was a really fun project to work on.
But anyway, back to the game. So the next thing we have to do,
so the game is called marching order.
The reason for that is because as rogues, we're going through
the tight, small little corridors and there's not enough
room to spread out like you would on like a 3D grid.
So we are all getting in a line to do this.
So we have to decide what our marching order is.
Who's first, Who's in the middle?
Who's last? What do you all think?
Well, we know who's first. Yeah, I feel like we know that,
right? Patsy, Patsy, the pyro's got to
be up top. OK, so I'm going to put that
person who's first, although Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, definitely put
the torch bearer in front. Yeah.
No, I feel like I should go third probably.
Yeah, nice. Middle, the dock in the middle.
Yeah, away from the damage. What?
What did you pick again, James? I'm the Archer so I feel like I
should bring up the rear. Yeah, so I'll take second.
So because I'm the cell sword, so I'm kind of the tank, so I
have a little bit better defense.
I got a doctor right behind me to heal me, and I think that
that sounds like a good fucking marching order to me.
Yeah. And you got like a, you got a
weapon that can go to spaces, you know?
I just have to occasionally stab people as my flaw.
The the the the wrong and or right people depending on how
you look at it. I have to occasionally stab an
ally so be wary I guess. So before we we're we're like on
the precipice of actually diving into this.
But I do want to say one last thing before we go because I
feel like this is the most overlooked rule of marching
order and the thing that will like save your ass or one of
your allies luck points. Every rogue has a luck score and
those are there's like the permanent score and you also
have that many points. You can spend one of those
points at any time to have anybody, including yourself, re
roll any dice. So if you don't like who gets
targeted or you don't like your attack roll or a monster wallops
you for way too much damage, those luck points can save your
life. So when it gets to be our
enemies turns, if we get into combat, all of their actions are
generated by the dice. So if we don't like what they're
going to do, we can always change it.
Until we run out of luck, of course.
So it's your most important currency in this game, right
next to coins, because we're all here for the coins, right?
Yeah, I mean, I don't sell this sword for nothing, you know what
I mean? I'm here for the curses.
I I mean the coins. The coins.
Yeah, for the, the, the the desire to fire, Brad asked in
the chat. To be clear, if you have already
done exclamation point curse, the giveaway itself will always
be open. I just close it, pick one and
reopen it. So if you've already done
exclamation point curse, you are already entered in the giveaway.
But if you just want to triple check and make sure doing it
more times does not give you more, but it doesn't take you
away. So if you're not sure if your
entry is in there or not, just do it anyway.
But you only have to do it once. You don't have to do it for
every every giveaway. If you've entered, you've
entered for all of them. Ancient Albatross mentioned that
they could not whisper due to settings.
Is that something in here or settings that oh.
It's probably a Brad setting. It might be he might have
whispers turned off in Twitch. Brad.
Do you want to try and fix that or do you would you rather
people just e-mail us? Because that's pretty
straightforward. We can't whisper strangers.
He is pretty strange. OK, we're we'll Brad's working
on it. We'll figure out when we're.
We're told since we were little not to talk to strangers and
then we now live in a world where we call strangers to come
pick us up and take us to places in in vulnerable position.
So. It is.
Let me get in the back of your car.
Hi stranger, take me to this dark, this dark alley.
Please also bring me my food. That sticker definitely stops
you from opening it, you know, so we'll we'll figure that out.
Brightness you to message. Let me yeah, we'll figure that
out. But I have regardless, at the
end of the time, I do have the list of giveaways in in here, so
we'll at least be able to contact people afterwards and
worst case scenario, just message me and I'll just copy
that into a Discord zone. All right.
Hey so everyone, everyone feeling good about their life
choices right now. No.
Always. Then you're perfect for rock
bottom. We're we're doing great.
So the core mechanic of the game, whenever you're called to
do anything, you're going to roll the D6, you're going to add
the relevant stat and if it beats the target meets or beats
the target number, you succeed. If you're attacking something
and it meets it, or if it beats the target number, you subtract
the target number from what you rolled and that's how much
damage you do. Everything else we can deal with
them when we get there. But yeah, in the interest of
getting the game moving, I'm going to drag my first
completely unfinished stand in map piece to the screen.
So the way of the law of the game works is these map pieces
will be labeled with directions, and going in those directions
takes you to a different passage in the book.
So we're going through the tight forest pass so far in this
adventure. So to get back to that text as
we start on passage #2 and also because it's not labeled, to be
clear, N takes us back to rock bottom.
So we just want to quit now, guys.
We can just call it a night. S will take us farther into the
woods. But moving on, your feet sink
into the rich dirt on this float forest floor.
Centuries of decayed pine needles, leaves, and probably a
corpse or two have made it quite fertile.
The trees loom on either side, giving you shade from an
overbearing sun, which is actually quite nice.
You had one too many drinks last night while you're discussing
plans, and the hangover sweats have been near unbearable.
Hey, it'll all be worth it when you find the tip the tear.
And it's expensive little staff, So it seems like the answer from
here is pretty straightforward. We probably want to go South,
farther into the woods, huh? We know it's that way, so we
should go that way. That seems very reasonable.
I mean, you're a doctor. You got that learning.
Do you think these trees are flammable?
I wish you wouldn't ask that about every individual.
Tree, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll do my job.
It's all think all trees are flammable.
So, heading South? I mean, sure, you heard the
stories of his stealing men's souls and selling them the
horrible demons to torture for all eternity, but you can't make
an omelette without pissing off a few Wizards or something.
Besides, if it all goes well, you'll never even see the
geezer. Just pop into his tent, grab the
staff, and get out before he ever notices.
Now, which way do we go from here?
Dragging in the new map piece? OK, so we came from the north.
Do we want to continue South or we went head off to the east?
Oh, there it comes in. It takes just a a minute to
load, so we came. Do I see anything that might
give me a hint? Nothing.
Yeah, pretty much What's in the text is is what you get to know.
East. So you're saying we came from
the north, so we're up, We're up top.
OK. So we would continue S, So S, at
least as far as this map goes, looks like a wider area.
E is pretty narrow, but it all is relatively trees, so.
I grew up with never eat soggy waffles and eat sounds better
than soggy for the compass rose. Yep.
So let's not get soggy and let's eat.
Let's go east. So I grew up with never eat
shredded wheat, which is terrible because I actually
enjoy shredded wheat. Yeah, Shredded Wheat's great,
but soggy waffles. Soggy.
Waffles. All right, all right, all right.
Quick, quick, quick in chat, did you?
Never. Eat shredded wheat or did you
grow up with Never eat soggy waffles?
Drop it in chat. I've literally never heard
either of these. If you never.
Eat traded. Wow, never eat shredded wheat.
That's. How soggy waffles.
I'm just. Not.
Weed. Am I the only one who is soggy?
OK, no, there's someone else. Thank you.
OK, yeah, so we got soggy waffles in the chat.
I definitely had the shredded wheat.
All the little things you have to remember like the the, the,
the less than and greater sign, the the the less than is an L
You just turn it a little bit. So it's always less than like.
No, it's an alligator mouth. It's an alligator mouth eating
M&S. The little fish eating the big
fish, yeah, but I, I the one that helped me more was that the
IT kind of if you just turn it up a little bit, it looks like
an L so it's less than. So yeah, that makes a little
fish eat the big fish is what is what I learned.
And then but then I got off to be like, how does the little bit
eat the big fish? That makes no fucking sense.
But yeah, alligator, real friends.
Realized we'd have like an educational section this.
Is good. This is good.
Yeah, so, so we're going towards eat not the Shredded Wheat.
Thank you, Roma Feather, for the Shredded Wheat affirmation.
All right, East. East it is OK, so that is bring
a new map section here. Frosty beets are delicious.
Man, I could go for some frosted weeds right now.
Raising brain though? I had a salad before stream
started. But it's officially soup season
in Vermont. Oh God, it was still where I'm
at, which I'm not going to tell all of you strangers, you
strange weirdos. It was a high of like 95 today,
so it's not quite soup season. That is wild.
Supposed to be about that tomorrow.
Moving to the east, you can hear a trickling of water to the
east, much like a babbling brook.
The sound of croaking frogs accompanies it to the health You
excuse me. To the South, you hear someone
shout in a squeaky voice, followed by an immediate.
Whack. It's probably nothing to worry
about. Probably.
And that's what we got to go off on.
And so we came from the West also.
We got the trickling water and frogs to the east and squeaky
voices and thwack to the South. It does take, yeah it does take
a minute for the the map to upload.
Did you drop another one? Oh, maybe I got to unselect it
before it'll upload. Yeah, maybe that's the thing.
Anything. Yes, yes.
Excellent. OK, yeah, I'll try.
I'll make sure I'm unselected and see if that fixes the
situation in the future. I'm pretty sure that Wizards
like frog legs, so he's definitely looking for frogs.
Have you ever seen a wizard eat frog legs?
All the time. Well.
All the time. I once saw a frog with wizard
legs. I believe that.
Were you sober? Don't ask.
So it sounds like we want to move toward the the toward the
east there, but the frogs are chirping.
Still, we're still on that Shredded Wheat, you know?
I mean, I didn't, but I do now for sure.
I believe you guys listen. I stole.
I will never not tie my shoes with Bunny ears.
Don't care, it's easier. I mean, that's.
That's around the tree and in the hole and all that.
House do you tie shoes you. Make a loop, you make a loop you
tie together. I don't understand.
A stream cuts through the wood, ending in a small lake.
The course of frog sounds is louder now.
You're not sure what they have to be so happy about, but
they're croaking their lives away.
Do you want to explore the lake? So we can either explore the
lake or turn back around and go the way we came.
We're looking for his tent, right?
That's what that's what Sigurd said.
I I think I'd put my tent next to water usually.
He did mention standing stones, I don't see them but I mean who
knows wizard shit you know? That's true.
Maybe he made he. Maybe he hid the stones.
How's everyone doing on drinking water?
I'm supposed to be drinking water.
Sometimes. I don't see standing stones
either, no. All right, back we go.
OK. So we're ignoring the lake and
going back to the east. We're just not doing nothing
with the fucking lake. That's it, That's it.
That's how we're. Doing I mean.
You want to go back to the lake? We can go back to the lake.
I took a bath a week ago. I'm good.
We can sound word. All.
Right. All right.
So do we want to go back West or do we want to go South from
here? South.
South S do it. We're going to get soggy now.
I was going to say let's get shredded, but yeah, soggy, yeah.
Redded. We just walked away from the
lake. Yep, Yep.
OK, OK, so we're coming from the north on this map, and what's
the text have to say? The squeaky voice rings out
again, seemingly from the southeast.
Was that a battle cry? Wherever it was, you hear the
same thwacket sound again right afterwards.
We got the Southeast and the Southwest with Wizards.
I mean. I mean, we all thwack, don't we?
I think. We all thwacked every now and
then. You know what I also just forgot
real quick before we make our decision?
Our names. Are.
Still. Oh yeah, we.
Never people, you never listen. You, you are creating the
characters. All right, So hoot, if you you
want your name to be hoot, just just message me in our secret
messaging system on Discord and we will OK and I will update
this. Thank you for doing that.
Well, while that's updating, oh. That's right, Patsy.
Do you folks have thoughts on if you want to go to the Southwest
or the southeast do? You have thoughts on my?
Voice sound like. You have thoughts on if you want
to do another giveaway before we do that or are we good on?
You know what? You're right, we should do that
all. Right, let me do that real
quick. I got to pick a road name.
God, I don't even know first name.
Picking names usually take me an hour or so.
We're just going to go with what pops into my head.
I mean, they may not live long enough to make the name
worthwhile, so. Yeah.
OK, so while I'm doing this, let's do another giveaway.
So just in case you haven't done it in the next 30 seconds, type
estimation point curse and you will be entered into a giveaway
and we are giving away. What are we giving away again
while I do this? We are giving away our OSE deck.
I mean good for any kind of like old schoolish DND thing or
anyone who just needs that like random NPCS.
But our OSC deck of mercs and masters?
Our hireling deck full of specialists and well hirelings.
So that's going to go to Ozrig. I mean, they got the, they got
the OSR right in the name. I have a feeling they'll put
that to good use I believe. So.
Excellent. Brad, did we figure out the how
to tell people or how people get information that you think yet?
Excellent. So, yeah, just whisper to Brad
your address information and we'll get that out to you.
Yeah. All right, so our next giveaway
is going to be the last of our Old School Essential giveaways,
Strange House, a whimsical adventure for Old School
Essentials, which happened because I am part of Evelyn
Murrow's Patreon and it's all just an adventure and it's a
cottage crawl inspired by her art, which is fantastic.
And her Patreon is like the world's best deal ever.
So any creators out there like I did, I, I, I don't want to say
this and be wrong, but I, if I remember, I'm like, it's, it's
insanely cheap for what you get out of it.
And her art is amazing. So go support that.
It's so good and her art is so good.
But anyway, it was also our first hardcover book.
It was beautiful. Brad actually just said too like
we both have that kind of like a benchmark for it.
Fantastic love the foiling on the red is is the the shines and
it's it's deep lost. It's beautiful book.
Yeah, it just, it feels that cover like it's, it's a touchy
cover. You know you want to touch that
cover. It's touchy.
As the kids say or something. They do know.
All right, folks, so the Southeast is slack noises and
the southwest is the unknown. How we feeling I.
Think wizard Slack, apparently. What if we What if we wheel
around the southwest to get a line of sight in?
Maybe. Who knows?
I've heard of this thing called flanking before.
Ain't that a kind of meat? It is tastes really good when
flame grilled. Yeah, I think you can do it with
a rat. Never tried.
We should find out. I don't know, do we want to go
to the direct route toward the toward the thwacking or do we
want to try and circle around? Let's just get direct to
Thwackin because I mean that's that's.
Really hard to argue with right there.
I agree. SE we go to flag it as the kids
say for our next stand in map. Or goblins huddle around the
dead body of a giant rat. I ain't hungrily.
It looks pretty fresh, but you don't find it nearly as
appetizing as they do. It's unfortunate that they don't
realize that big folks want our lunch.
We grabs them and we stabs them. Then we feast giant rats and
peoples and we are going into our first combat.
OK, so when you go into a combat in marching order, I'm going to
move the map aside for that. Again, everything is in a line.
So because of the nature of our screens here, your line faces
the enemy's line, right? So normally you have it all laid
out in a straight line. You got four of your people and
four of their people. The way our line is going to
work is our torch bearers in the front, and the way their line is
going to work is this goblin with the shield known as a
goblin wall boy is going to be in front.
So this goblin wall boy is right next to the torch bearer.
And there are some more too. I just want to explain that
before I finish setting up. So we got a.
Smasher, a Slinger and a sneak thief.
OK, so yeah, I figure since I, I know the run of the game, I'm
going to take care of rolling and dealing with the monsters
and whatnot just to kind of expediate that process.
So initiative is a really simple ordeal with this game.
One of us will have to roll a dice for our side just in any
time it's a dice, it's a six sided dice.
It's all six siders as far as the eye can see.
So one of us will roll 6 sided dice for our side and I will
roll A6 sided dice for the monsters and whoever gets the
highest is the side that goes first.
So any volunteers to to do the role for our rogues?
Someone else doing because I'm doing stuff, I'm doing, I'm
doing stream stuff. I'll do it.
I believe the torch bearers in
front so he should do it this time.
OK, there we. Is A2.
A roll of three. And a three.
Is going to beat A2 you. You may have just saved our
lives. With that, we will see.
Thanks. OK, so now we know our side is
first, right? How do you figure out who goes
when? Simple.
You start at the front of the line, you work your way back.
So our torch bearer is going to be first.
So let's talk about what happens on your turn.
This is not that copy doesn't need to be anyway.
So first thing that you would normally do is if you had any
conditions or cool down dice that would be on you right now,
the conditions would take effect and you would countdown all your
dice. You don't have any of those.
We're at a nice fresh start. We're good to go.
After that, you get to choose one of your actions to do.
So your basic action you can do every single turn.
You don't need to worry about cool down dice or anything.
But if you use your, your special action, well, I think
for you this is not the case. But for most of us there's cool
downs and it will take time to be able to use it again.
So also for an action other than the things listed there, it's
also worth mentioning that you can change spaces with someone
next to you in a marching order and when it's your turn you get
to make that call. Like they can't stop you from
moving and putting them in front or anything like that.
Or you can choose to do nothing and just take all your cool down
dice down by an extra number. Oh, very cool.
So what does our Torch Bear, intrepid torch bearer want to
start us off with? Is is the rat that is large and
dead in range of me throwing an alchemist fire at it and
starting the barbecue and inviting them to eat with us?
So so marching order is game bookish in nature, meaning like
you don't get as much flexibility as you do.
Fair enough. A standard RPG, which like
honestly, for myself was partially by design.
Like I enjoy that in a group game, but when I'm playing solo,
like I don't like having to feel like I'm D Ming myself, you know
what I mean? I know that's like some people
love that, but but yeah, so pretty much you got you got your
actions on your sheet and that's it when it breaks down into
combat like this. Perfect, I am going to throw a
stone at this. You said it was called a wall
boy. Yeah, the guy up front with the
shield. Yes, I am going to throw a stone
at him. OK, so I'm guessing it probably
says to like roll your physical or something along those lines.
And I roll, yeah, I rolled target a creature 3 spaces away
and make a physical roll versus their defense.
So I rolled a 5 -, 2 is 3. OK, and you're targeting so it
says 30 you know it's also my apologies.
It's been actually a hot sex since I've sex since I've done
this. It is worth mentioning that the
Wall Boy has a special power that will affect how this battle
goes a lot. And this is another reason why
I'm really stoked about the new addition having all of this
right on the cards. It's like don't have to find it
in the book. So there's there's special
ability. If an enemy behind a Wall Boy is
targeted by attack, the target hits the Wall Boy instead, IE
just redirects toward them. So you got a three after all
that was said and done. Is that true?
So the Wall Boy's defense is a four.
He's a little bit of a tough one to tag, so you can either spend
luck, which is finite, or roll your bullshit for the end of
your turn. I think I'm going to I think I'm
going to move to the that role. So let me just see here I roll
the six. How wonderful is that?
Excellent. So your positive quality takes
effect. Remind us what that was again?
Oh, my positive quality. Oh good, yes, my positive
quality is oh look, another torch.
Great. So you you could have been
attacking him, but you're finding torches.
This is Yeah, this is good. This is good.
Go go Patsy, find torches all over and that's me.
I mean, you're following your passion and I respect that, you
know? Yeah.
Fire. OK, so that's the end of your
turn. It moves us on to the cell
sword, who it is next in line. So Barnes, Yeah.
What's Barnes gonna do for us here?
Barnes is going to. So I was, I was, I was playing
myself. So how many spaces are we away
from these guys? So you personally are two away
from the Wall Boy because the torch bearer would be one spot
away because he's right in front of you, and then in front of him
would be the Wall Boy. So that would be two spots.
And then the guy behind him is 3, the Smasher, and the guy
behind him is 4, etcetera, etcetera, if that makes sense.
Got to turn on the got to turn on that combat music chat
volume. OK, if you're chat.
So I'm going to not adjacent, so I'm just going to do my hack and
slash basic attack. I target a creature up to two
spaces away, make a physical attack role versus their
defense. So you say D6 is our basic for
everything and then I get to add my physical to my attack, right?
Correct. So I get to roll AD 6 + 1.
Dope. So I got a total of 2.
OK, so this defense is a four. Unfortunately, we're all just
hitting this guy's huge shield and not doing much.
You can change luck to try, or spend luck to try that again, or
move on to your bullshit roll. I'm going to do my bullshit roll
and that's just another D6, right?
D6 is as far as the eye can see. These, you know, the best dice,
Not even going to lie, my favorite.
I know I sound like, I mean, sarcastic.
Now that's just my normal voice. It is my favorite TTRPG dice.
There's no such thing better than AD 6.
So I get to roll that, and I roll the two.
All right, so that's no bullshit since it's not a one or six and
that's so then we will move on to hoot.
OK, Hoot is gonna realize she's a little bit further back and
she's gonna swap side swap, swap spaces with Barnes.
OK, so who? Excuse me, Pardon me coming
through. Coming up, swapping spaces with
Barnes. She's gonna, she's gonna attempt
to bonk this dude on hopefully his head not on the shield.
I can target a creature one to two spaces away.
So I can just now make it I have to take a physical attack roll,
which is AD six a -, 1 because I ain't strong.
I you have. Other fine qualities, you know,
Yeah. It's true, however I did roll
A4. OK, A4.
But not very well. You did bonk him, not hard
enough to do damage. Unfortunately, but a gentle
caress. A gentle caress upon the goblin
noble with. My staff.
So some attacks do apply conditions as well.
Unfortunately this isn't one of them.
But you know, just for the audience at home, sometimes if
you tie, you may not do damage, but you might apply a condition
or get a condition applied to you if it is the enemy.
All right, so you're on your on your bullshit.
Yeah, I'm on the bullshit now. I'm going to roll my bullshit. 4
or nothing. All right, which you know, is.
Is better than A1. It's, it's OK, I'll take it.
OK, so the Archer, the Archer is going to take a shot at this
wall boy and hope we can do any amount of damage to it.
And I'm going to roll A3. What is my plus?
Well, that's a great question everybody plus one.
So I after you gently caress it with the staff, I'm going to
gently caress them with an arrow just the the slightest whisper
and unfortunately not do any damage.
This was not a great first round for our rogues and rolling my
bullshit rolling a 2. So at least there's no bullshit.
OK, so now that we've all gone in the first round of
initiative, well, why don't we pause for just a SEC to do
another giveaway since we got a good few of those to do.
Just a reminder to everyone, we are giving away a strange house,
a hardcover cottage crawl, archive MRO for old school
essentials. So if you haven't done it yet,
type exclamation point curse in the chat and that will enter you
into the giveaway. If you do it once, you're in the
giveaway forever. You are.
Just let me drag that over here. Oh, oh, someone.
We got, we got, we got, we got late entries.
Let's see what. We got.
We got last time someone did that, they won.
So let's let's pick a winner here.
Boom, we got Hail the horror. Woo, I know.
There, hail the horror, give a whisper to Brad, give him your
info as to where the ship it and we will get that book out to
you. Thanks so much for being here
and doing a thing. All right, so before we get to
the monster's turn, the next giveaway is going to be we are
moving on from Old School Essentials and we are going into
our system agnostic collection, a deep dark bundle.
This is a collection of three system agnostic zenes full of
dungeons, encounters, and hexes. It's going to be deep dark, Deep
dark wood, which was the original deep dark encounters
and deep dark dungeons. These were little pet projects
of mine that I laid out and really enjoyed and everything.
So those will be the next giveaways.
So moving on to the monster's turn.
So once you get to the monster's turn, you start with the one
that is upfront and work your way back, just like we did for
the rogues, except their actions are all done by random dice
rolls. So the first thing you do is you
roll to see what action they're going to take.
And again, D sixes, it's all D sixes.
So the goblin wall boy is going to toss a rock, it's going to
target a random rogue and it is going to target if I roll 5 or
6, I'll re roll. Of course I did.
We got a three and 3rd in the marching order is.
Oh, that was our doctor. Thankfully it's our cell sword
right now because the Doctor moved up.
That's right. And you got a little more beef
to you. So that's this isn't the worst
thing. I've been.
Told that before. No, not that.
Not that. So it's a physical attack role
versus your defense? Oh fuck off.
Oh, and he rolls a 5 + 1 is 6. Yeah, what's your that gives?
Me that my defense is 4. So that would be two damage
which isn't the worst or we can luck point that.
Sorry, I needed to close that real quick.
So what's my? My total health is 10 and I only
get one luck point. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not.
Yeah, like, I mean, that's, that's what you have health for,
right? That's what I got.
That's why that's why I got, that's why I got health.
That's why I got more beef, you know?
Yeah, you specifically where, where's the?
Beef, you know, where is it? So my, my HP is 10, so I take 2.
So I'm down to 8. That's how it works.
I'll take it. I'll take, I'll take the hit.
OK, so then we're going to roll the bullshit for the Smasher and
not roll anything. And so then we'll go or not the
Smasher at the wall boy, but the Smasher is up next.
So we'll go to the Smasher next and we'll roll dice to see what
the Smasher does, and we are going to roll a A2 Haxes and
Slashes target and adjacent rogue.
There is none, so I'm going to skip the rest of that
explanation. If no rogues are adjacent to
Goblin, Smasher switches places with the ally in front of it.
So it's so excited to get up next to you that it's going to
spend its entire turn switching places with the Wall Boy and is
no longer protected by the Wall Boy, which is kind of good for
us because now we can get something that maybe isn't
behind a shield, right? Can fuck up a gobbo.
I'm saying, so rolling the bullshit for that goblin, we are
going to roll A2 no bullshit for that goblin and we will move on
to the goblin Slinger with that sling.
So we're going to roll to see what action he takes.
It's going to be a three stone the giants.
The goblin targets a random rogue in the middle of the
marching order. So that is going to all right.
We got our doctor and cell sword hoot and barn.
So one to three is going to be hoot, 4 to 6 is going to be
barns, and we rolled 6. So it is going after barns.
They like you, man. I'm not complaining.
So yeah, versus your defense. Your USDA choice or.
Prime, Prime beef. Prime beef.
Yeah, Yeah. Got that?
Got that Wag you in the bridge? So a 4 + 0, your defense is 4,
right? My defense is 4.
So we're we're at like a like not a meter beat, right?
Tie goes to the tie goes to the rogue.
Well, it's basically it means they hit you, but they subtract
your defense to see how much damage they did, and that's
zero. So again, might matter if
there's a condition attached to the attack.
But for our purposes now, yet another gentle caress and a long
line of gentle caresses. He doesn't like a long line of
gentle caresses. You know what I mean?
I'm. Saying I mean marching.
Order a long line of gentle caresses.
Marching Order Cursing Coin edition.
What was What was the previous sub subtitle on our bullshit
something? Colon.
A long line of dumb caresses. Colon.
Yeah. Colon.
Soggy wheat, apparently. Colon.
Yeah, you're. Gonna have to add some more
space to the box on the outside now just.
Oh man, you just it'll just have like a fold out.
It's like, you know, just like old, like when someone has like
20 titles. Breaker of Change, River of
Souls, long line of gentle caresses.
Yes. Back.
On our bullshit. So finally on the goblins,
Wizards, Wizards be whacken. Yo Wizards, be Thacken, yo.
The goblin sneak thief is going to go and roll A6 for their
action, which is I stabs. I stabs target the enemy
farthest back in the marching order, which is unfortunately me
make a physical attack roll versus their defense, which is
oh Gee, that's that's not going to be the greatest. 5 + 1 in my
defense is 3, so that is 6. I'm going to take 3 damage.
How much am I starting with there?
I'm starting with 10, so I am down to seven.
OK, this isn't the worst, it's not the best, but it's not the
worst. So that's our first round.
We have made it this far and so now we go back to our intrepid
rogues. So let's see here.
So may I use one of my alchemist fires as my throwing the stone?
Can I can I throw that and do the +2 to the attack rule?
So The Alchemist fire works like it's, it pretty much takes your
action. And so yeah, you would just make
a +2, you would use that and spend or make a + 2 attack
against each enemy, which you can just roll once for.
Well, you know, I don't actually.
Honestly, I think in the 1st edition it wasn't clear.
Do you roll once for each enemy or do you roll once period?
So I'll let you make that call. And that's something we'll clean
up when Kirsten Coin comes out. OK so if I'm throwing it at the
the wall boy who's 2 spaces away from me, will it also hit the
smasher? Oh OK, so The Alchemist fire
will just it'll just target everyone?
Oh, oh, I got you. Yeah, yeah.
We got some special rules with the Wall Boy here, right?
Because everyone behind him is protected, so every attack that
goes behind the Wall Boy redirects toward him.
So that means you're going to make one attack on the Smasher
in the front and three on the Wall Boy, or at least one at a
time to see if it like, you know, moves back.
But I think this is going to be good to get rid of that
stumbling block there. So first roll coming in for the
Smasher and that is going to be a 5 minus by two.
So three it neutralized out of three.
You rolled A5. No, I rolled A3.
Oh, OK, you rolled a three so you don't have to figure your
physical skill into The Alchemist fire because it's not
like a precise thing. So you just.
Got you. Roll that that 5.
Cool. 5. And his defense is a 2, so that
is 3 damage. And that leaves him with two hit
points left. Sweet.
Which is not nothing by any means.
So here comes, here comes the fire at Wall boy #1 which is
also 5. OK.
So that's going to be one point of damage to that wall boy
because they have a defense of four and a health of five.
So that's going to bring them down to four health.
So that next attack will go at him as well.
So that's going to go for one as I, as I rolled another three,
+2, so five, yeah. I got you.
It's going to do one.
OK, OK. So we got them down to three.
We're getting there. And then the last is a four, so
just tie some up. OK, I mean, not bad.
Hey, that works. Good job Torch Bearer.
You definitely did some damage there.
I think we can maybe finish some of these folks off this round.
OK, now you're ready for your bullshit.
Oh yes, this is the exciting part.
I love how much people love the bullshit when.
Oh, I did it again. I got another torch wrapped on
your bullshit. I'd like to think that's just
like a flaming piece of goblin that you pick up and you're
like, hey, new torch. Yeah, it's a femur.
I got it. All right, so then we're moving
back in the marching order, going to our doctor, so it is up
to hoot. I'm going to, I'm going to bonk
him real good. No more caressing.
I figured out how to hold the staff correctly and
theoretically I'm going to get this right.
The one D 6 -, 1 four A2. His defense is one, right?
The Smashers defense is A2. Gosh.
Darn it. You know, you said no more
gentle caresses, but caressing. Continues.
The other side of the face. I think we need to talk about
your propensity for goblins here.
And then you got your bullshit. Not.
Bullshit 3 nada. All right.
And so we are going back to Barnes.
Everything is a torch. Retired.
Lol all. Right.
So I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm still gonna just be hacking the
slash. So let's do that plus one
modifier. Roll the beautiful beam footage.
Oh, so I got a total of 3. Hey, and the guy up front is the
Smasher defensive 2. That's going to do one.
Got him down to one hit point. That's right, yeah.
We are getting somewhere. Take that beef.
It is your bullshit. Time it.
Is my bullshit God damn it? Uh oh.
This is the first flaw that's activating.
I'm in danger. Who?
Stabs us, aren't you? I do.
I listen. I got so excited I hit somebody
that I just keep swinging apparently real quick and chat.
Ancient Albatross Whisperer Brad again.
I think you originally tried to and were unable to.
We should be able to now. So do that.
And then I thought you were the enemy.
I target a random ally. So how do I pick like evens odds
plus minus? So we got three random allies,
so we'll say Torchbearer is 1-2. Yeah, let's go with Patsy's 1-2,
Hoots 3-4 and I'm 5-6. Great, Patsy, my boy, Sorry I
give you a little poke. A little pokey poke.
It's bending over to Freaky's Torch app, you could think.
It has to be the torch barrier. You know, so I got to do a full
attack, so that's another D6 plus one.
Come on, roll low. Oh good.
My defense is one, My defense is 1, so yeah.
Fine, this isn't the worst, it's just a little prick.
You're you're you're stocking the fire, Yeah.
Stocking the I'm I'm stroking the fire here.
So, so one for you, one for you is kind of how it worked out
like. Marching off.
Maybe I just do. Maybe I.
Just do like a wide swing and it kind of clips both of them, you
know? Yeah.
I mean, I guess I'm just kind of, I was going to say I'm glad
I'm not staying in too close to you, but that doesn't seem to
matter with you. So yeah.
It's not any ally which is which is cool I guess.
Super cool. All right, so that leaves on me.
I am going to target the Smasher with an arrow and see, you know
what? No, at this point I am going to
do the reign of arrows and target all of them and see if I
can't pull out some damage. I has a cooldown of five.
It's not going to happen again for a while, but man.
OK, so I'm making an attack roll against every single one of
them. My fiscal score is plus one.
So first we'll start with my attack against the Smasher,
which is going to be a four defensive 2 that is going to
kill the Smasher. Nice.
So we got that going for us at least.
And then there's never any empty spaces in the marching order.
They just all move up. And then my second attack is
going to go against the wall boy.
That's another D 6 + 1, and that's a 2.
Not going to do anything. But that means my next attack is
also going to go against the Wall Boy, and that's going to be
a 7A6 plus one is A7, so that is three points of damage, which is
exactly what he's got left. So that's going to do in the
Wall, Boy. Die Wall Boy.
And I had one attack left from that because two of them
redirected to there. So we will do one at the Slinger
and that's only going to be two. And I think the slingers got a
defensive 2, but let me check that out.
Yep. All right, so General Crest of
the Slinger, but that was something at least.
And then I will roll my bullshit and I'm going to roll my flaw
though, you know, big turn for me there, I guess I am out of
arrow. So I am stunned for one round.
OK, so I need to make some notes here for my Archer to keep track
of some of those conditions and then we will get into the
enemy's turn. Boom boom.
So yeah, if you have not yet back to Kickstarter or even
checked it out, the link for that is pinned at the top of the
chat. We are, you know, I've been like
hitting the refresh button every.
Oh no, You know, I think it that's my bad.
It is. Not pinned at the top of the
chat. I lied to you and I will do it
again. I think I accidentally left the
20 minute timer instead of the full time timer.
So let me find, let me go to Kickstarter pit again and I'll
put that back up there. But yeah, we are, you know,
honestly, I did not really expect it to fund today.
I expect it to fund, don't get me wrong.
But I was like, oh, it'll take a little bit.
At least it funded relatively quickly and we have gone through
a few stretch goals already. I mean, you're only at 182%
funded in close to $28,000. So I think you're doing OK for
day one. Truth, truth and thank you.
If that was someone who's watching this, I just backed as
I watched a number roll. Thank you.
But yeah, check it out if you haven't.
It's it's going to be a good time anyway.
Thank you for waiting while I did that shameless self plug
here. The whole listen today is a
shameless self plugged day so. Oh yeah, I don't want shame
about being shameless. I waited for the the the the the
shameless self plug to to press confirm and so the the number
you saw, that was me. I because because Kickstarter
was being slow this morning, I think it was backer 4, and that
made me very upset. But yeah, it's there.
Kickstarter was being really, really janky this morning.
Everyone of their goddamn mom and the teach RBG space dropped
a project today, so you know. Yeah, Yeah.
I didn't realize I'd be in such good company.
Yeah. All right, so we are moving on
to our enemies and so we are going to the goblin Slinger.
Who is? Going to, I don't know, let's
find out what they're going to do.
They're going to roll A6 retreat to treat the goblin Slinger
changes position with the creature behind them.
If there is no creature behind them, they leave the marching
order. Well, unfortunately they're not
all the way in the back because otherwise they'd be gone.
But that doesn't mean they're not trying to hurt us this turn.
So that is something and then rolling for their bullshit,
rolling A6 protect me, the ally in front of the goblin Slinger
immediately takes an action. So that isn't the greatest.
So that is our sneak thief. So now we roll for the sneak
thieves action and that is going to be a six.
I stabs. I stabs trying to stab me again.
This is this is great for me and roll the 4 + 1 is 5 minus my
defense of what is it 3 right? All right, so I am taking an
extra 2. So that has me down to five and
my beef is quickly dissipating. So now we move on to the sneak
thieves turn because we haven't had that yet.
We've only had that extra action due to the bullshit.
And again, the sneak thieces are all nothing but fives and sixes
when it chooses its actions. And those are all stabs toward
me. I don't know.
Like I don't remember shitting in his Cheerios, but apparently.
I did it couldn't happen to a better rogue.
As long as it's not, I'm good. You say as I'm.
You just murked half their crew and are upset that they're
hitting. Yeah, it's like.
If there's beef on the field, it's definitely with them.
Exactly. I mean, yes, I'm upset, but
maybe unreasonably so. So thankfully he didn't roll
high enough to hit me and didn't roll any bullshit.
So we are safe for now and let's take it back to Patsy.
I am going to throw a stone and my physical roll is I rolled a
zero thanks to my -2 physical. It's OK you maybe you'll find
another torch. I'm trying to skip that stone at
the lake we just left. It's the opposite direction all.
Right, roll some bullshit. Oh, yes.
Yeah, yeah. Oh, nothing.
Nothing this time. No bullshit, thought he saw one,
but it was not the torch. All right, going on the hoot.
All right Hoot is doesn't have any and Jason people with
conditions so who's just gonna Yeah it's.
A shame I have the condition, I'm too far away.
Sorry to interrupt. Right.
No, you're fine. Wait, you have a condition?
I'm stunned right now because I ran out of I rolled my bullshit
last turn. I'm a swap spot.
I'm gonna swap spots with our spells or cells.
Sword again and make it take you there.
Medicine. Yeah, this is great.
I get to make an attack this round.
I'm so excited. I have removed your stunned
condition and now I have a cooldown of three on that.
I'm going to use one of my D sixes 3 done.
Thank you, Hoot. And now I'm going to roll AD 6
for my bullshit 4, nada. OK.
And then that is going to take us to.
Sorry, typing and talking at the same time.
That is gonna take us to. Barnes, I'm just gonna keep
hacking the slashing. I'm just gonna apparently close
my eyes and swing away as one does, just in case I hit people,
I mean. It's worked this far.
Hey, listen, I've done 2 damage, right?
Just not all of the goblins. Yeah All right, so roll D6 plus
one. Fuck off.
I think I've rolled 3 ones in my last.
Like I don't know how many of you guys.
I'm going to spend a luck on that.
No, What's his defense You're. You're going for the Slinger or
no? You're going for the Sneak Thief
Defense 2. God damn it.
Do it. No, it's fine math.
I told you my eyes were closed, you know.
OK, OK, I'm saving my luck. Yeah, yeah.
How many? Luck.
Do you have my luck on you? How often do we get luck back
again? Between.
Dells Oh so no, no, don't waste your luck on my bad roll.
No, no, I refuse your luck, good Sir.
Again, I'm just like. You know what?
He gets queasy when he sees blood.
It's fine. Yeah, and as much blood is
coming out of me right now, maybe I don't need to be
spending my luck on second thought, right?
Right, right. We got arterial spurt over here
and he's like no swing again. Well, roll your bullshit, maybe
it'll help. Oh yeah, hey, listen, my
quality, my good quality. If I roll A6, I get to I get to
hit again. So let's let me do.
One soon, right? I literally rolled the Middle
East number you could roll the farthest from as close, as close
as I could get to neither. So great.
Cool. That's it.
That's me. I don't even get bullshit.
Yeah. So going to me, the first thing
that's going to happen is my countdown goes down on my reign
of arrows. Thanks to Hoot.
I actually do get to shot shoot because I am not stunned.
So yeah, I'll go for the sneak thief.
Sure, let's shoot there. So we're going to roll AD 6 plus
my Oh, that's I swear. I I know like I'm, I'm kind of
running this here, but I swear I I have no control over the dice.
So physical plus one is a six versus the sneak thiefs
defensive 2 that is for damage and a sneak thief has five
health. Nice.
At least one of us is hitting. Right.
Math has to math eventually. One left there and then I cannot
move that number for the life of me.
That's fine. Rolling for my bullshit.
That is a 2. So no bullshit and we will move
on to the sneak thief. But maybe before we do this
seems like a good time to maybe do another giveaway it sounds.
Like a great time to do a great. Thing to do a giveaway.
So I'm thinking, you know, we'll move on to one of the big, big
UNS here. And this can be our core set of
marching order Mud and Blood edition.
And not only is it going to be the Mud and Blood edition, it's
going to come with one of every quick and dirty adventure that
we have published it. So far, that is a big one.
So, yeah, this is, I mean, it's not the, it's not the current
Kickstarter one, but it is the, the older edition that is out of
print and hard to find. Oh.
Is it hard to find? It is hard to find.
Is it hard to find? So if you haven't entered into

Yeah, whisper Brad your address and everything and we'll get
that out to you. Congratulations.
For those of you that's hoping to get some cool marching order
swag, the big one is still here, and that is a copy of the Curse
and Coin edition. When it prints of course, which
is not going to be for a hot SEC, but you could win one of
those yet. You will get it.
Great, great. And again, if you are already
entered, you are still entered. I know it says to hit, curse
again, hit exclamation point, curse all you want, but you're
already in and you're still available.
How many more giveaways we have going tonight?
Let's see, we have the potential to do, did we do the deep dark?
We did not do the deep dark bundle.
I said, oh, I think that's. The one you said was gonna be
next, and then we we jumped ahead.
So I got excited. So that's still.
We're we're at the peak of combat, so you know it's a good
time to do it. We have 1236.
We have more giveaways left than we have done so far.
So why don't we give away that deep dark bundle right now too?
Let's. Let's do a double We're we're,
we're, we're, we're doubling it up, all right.
We'd have to be crazy to be given this much stuff away.
Let's pick another winner. That is going to be Rhino 1981.
You are getting the Deep Dark Zine bundle system agnostic,
good for any Dragon game you might want to slap it onto.
And yeah, message Brad with your address, Rad Brad Kish, and
we'll get that to you. Someone needs to.
You just need to be here. So say something in Chat Rhino,
or else we're going to have to pick somebody else.
Good call, I forgot about that part of it.
Yeah, so I haven't. So as soon as they talk, it says
something in here. So Rhino, if you are here, Rhino
1981, say say some stuff or we have to move on to the next
person. Let me see if they're still even
in the chat list here. Bueller.
Oh, I don't see them in the list
of people in the chat. So we'll give them just a little
bit longer and then we're going to move on to the next person
maybe. We'll go through The Sneak Thief
and the Slinger and check it after that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like I said, I can see who's
all here and they are not. So why don't we just let's just
you want to just do you want to just pick the next one?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll move it on.
Sorry Rhino, we'll always miss you.
Bryce. I know they're just here because
they just subbed and followed and interned and everything.
So Bryce, say some stuff in chat and you will win.
Yeah, there's a Bryce giving us woohoo.
OK, Ancient albatross. If you're if you're still having
trouble with the DM ING, feel free to e-mail us at
info@crumblingkeep.com info@crumblingkeep.com and that
will get to us as well. Here, let me I'm going to, I'm
going to shoot them a message and get their details too.
Dope. So I can handle it.
Appreciate that. Where are you?
Here you go. Oh, Brad started.
A whisper dialogue. God, that sounds so, so sensual.
A whisper dialogue ASMR says rat rat kish.
We have this joke, Brad and I about doing marching order ASMR
sometime. It's just going to be like the
sound of rogues dying, rats chittering and other terrible
things that we're not a nice. Ambience for the background.
We should make it a stretch goal little playlist of.
Just. Terrible noises.
Yeah. OK.
Back into it. Let's do it.
Let's go all right, so moving on to the sneak thief.
Let's roll some dice. All right so sneak thief is
gonna get us a four. So that means hey, I'm not
getting stabbed for once my pretties the goblin steals 1D6
coins from a random rogue. So 5 or 6 we'll re roll SO4 so
gonna steal for me instead of stab me.
So hey, this is this is fun for me and it's going to steal one
of my coins. OK, that's not the.
Worst could be I have no coins, what happens if they steal from
me? They get nothing.
Oh yeah. Yet another gentle caress.
The curse of being broke, Yes. A hand slithers into your
pocket. Finds nothing like win win
really. Except, yes, that gentle caress.
So no bullshit on the sneak thief moving on to the Slinger.
Slinger is going to retreat. Retreat.
And since they're at the back of the marching order, they run
off. They're gone.
We're trying to murder Hub a lot here and they're running away,
you know what I mean? How do they have a sense of
life? It's it's great that you're all
saying that, I say as I'm just bleeding profusely as you.
Want the? Monsters to keep.
Coming. I'm ignoring it, my eyes still
closed, flailing wildly. I.
I'm going to throw a rock at this guy, put him out of his
misery. No, I'm not, but.
You're going to try and that's something going.
To try. Look for a torch.
Oh yes yes, why do I keep forgetting this?
This is the best part bro so. Close to another torch.
So close to another torch. Wait, is that a torch?
Wait, Nope. No, Yeah, it's not.
No, I thought. It was.
This is another femur. Wetty finger.
Yeah. Wait a second, there are more
femurs than bodies here. What is happening?
Yeah, too. Wet.
Too wet to burn for that one, I guess.
All right. You.
Oh, me. Let's do it.
Me again already. Could you just keep jumping
around the order? OK, All right, I'm going to
listen. If it didn't work yet, might as
well keep trying it. I'm going to keep hacking and
slashing. Three baby.
Three all together is it? Yes.
Sneak thief has a defensive 2 so that is going to ping them for
their last hit point. Yeah, I did.
Murder. Woo.
And now the sad thing is that you get to roll your bullshit
still. And I was gonna say I still get
to roll it. Stab one of us, yes.
I think that's only oh man, I was so close to I was so close
to stabbing. I literally just like spinning
around in circles with my eyes closed.
I nicked that guy and just like whoosh like right in front of
Patsy again. Just barely miss this time.
We're going to have to work on that in the future.
OK, so that takes us out of combat and leaves us in.
Well, let me let me see. Let me bring them.
Out of we'll get out of combat music.
So we came from the West and we got the South available to us
unexplored and we we've managed to live through our first
combat. Congratulations, Rogues.
Woo woo, most of us didn't even take any damage.
And some of us dealt damage to each other.
Thanks. Hey, damage is damage.
I sell my sword. I do damage, you know.
Quick, quick, quick rules question.
So with my special action of no, no, not me when I'm targeted by
an enemy, is that only enemies? Or is that if a ally targets me
as well? Huh, huh.
Well, with the current. Wording is still.
An ally. If they're trying to hit you,
you. Know that's what I'm saying,
yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think it is
currently like with with the strict wording of the game, it
would only be people on the other side of the marketing
order enemies. However, I think it's
interesting enough that I want to consider tweaking the wording
on that ability for those rare occasions.
You know, it's weird. Like you design A game and then
you play it with people and you're like, wow, they're using
this in ways I would have never imagined.
Amazing. Listen, we get to.
Be play testers, you know as we do this as well so.
Oh, totally. And you also get to realize
like, wow, other people are better at this game than I am,
you know? So do we want to head to the
South? I wager after that encounter?
To the soggy shreds. To the soggy shreds.
Soggy shreds, yes. OK, bringing in a new map
fragment here. This one's, this one's farther
down the list. Got to find it here.
Get rid of the old one. OK so we are coming from the
north on this map fragment. The brush at the side of the
trail rustles for just a moment before giant rats rush out.
The goblins could have eaten really good tonight had they not
wasted their time messing with you.
You have to wonder about these rats self preservation instincts
as they rush a creature at least twice their size.
So out of the frying pan into the fryer, we have 3 giant rats
and a disease rat that we have treated.
OK. For all right, And then we need
a diseased rat. Very MO curly.
And Shemp is the diseased one, obviously.
There you go. There you go.
OK, so you might notice some of us still have our like cooldown
dice attached to us. Those do stay throughout combat,
so unfortunately we still have to deal with that.
Say la vie, am I right? OK, so we're back at the
beginning of combat. That means we need to roll for
initiative. I am going to make Patsy roll
for our side again, the intrepid torch bearer.
I will roll for the monsters and it is AD 6 so monsters got a
four, we got a 2. So it looks like the rats got
the jump on us. And I don't see a Wall Boy in
there, so maybe we'll. And rats are a lot more smushy
than that wall boy. So we got and I'm.
Seeing 3 healthy flanks and one that's diseased but we'll have a
BBQ. It took it long enough.
It's edible, right? Right.
Got to get it on.
If you cook anything long enough, it's not doing a thing
but like. Which I feel like our torch
bearer knows more than. Yes, yes.
OK, so this this encounter Harkins back to the very first
encounter in Mud and Blood, which is a great kind of
training encounter and chaotic and fun.
So let me get to the rat page. OK, so rat #1 is going to go
first. Rat #1 is going to toothy boy
targeting adjacent rogue make a physical attack roll versus
their defense. So it is targeting our rat, our
torch bearer and is going to roll a 5 -, 1 is 4 versus the
torch bearers defense. One defense.
That is 3 How are you doing with three damage?
I am down to one health points. Oh.
OK. This may be the end of Oh Pyro
Patsy. We can be a doctor.
That's. True, we go health pot.
I didn't have any bandages though.
Oh shit, what do bandages do? Is it half a health point?
Is that what you said? 1D basically a 1D3.
Not a half a health point, half a health potion.
Which would be AD 3 instead of AD six.
Yeah. Like makes sense we use we do
use some weird terminology in the game and maybe folks have
thoughts on this. Like I tried not to use one like
I wanted to write it for people who have never played in RPG
before and maybe aren't familiar with the 1D whatever
terminology. So normally I just say like roll
a dice because it's always AD 6. But then I also use a
terminology half roll for like 1D3 and I don't know.
Is that confusing, folks? Yeah, I think it's confusing.
I think it's it's almost easier in the beginning to just say
like if, if it's for people that have never played a game before,
if you think it's for that to just at the beginning say these
are common notations, 1D blah, 1D blah, 1D blah.
And then you can just say whatever you want throughout.
Yeah, I guess it's it's kind of the equivalent of the like this
is what an RPG game is. It depends.
Basically that's what I'll. Say yeah, yeah, I am curious
about more thoughts about that, but OK anyway, yes, that is what
a bandage would do. It would do 1D3 health back.
So that giant rat did do the biting.
We will roll first bullshit. It will roll a three, so no
bullshit for that one. And then we move to the giant
rat behind it, which is going to roll A6 skin or scatter.
The giant rat switches positions with a random ally and it's
going to roll a RE. So that is going to be that ally
right behind it, which I'm not going to bother switching the
images because that literally does nothing right now.
And then we roll. It's bullshit.
Is that dice cock eyed? No, it is a two.
OK, great. It's like did this digital, is
that possible for the digital? Guys, it's just like.
Blinking on the screen. They're it's spinning forever.
Yeah, I was. I was kind of shocked and
appalled there. OK, so no bullshit for that one.
So now we are rolling for the next Giant rat, which is
actually the second one right now because they switched
positions. It rolls the toothy boy attack
as well, but since there are no rogues next to it, it just
advances and switches places with the one in front of it.
Again, they all have the same stats right now so I'm not going
to physically do that, but it does waste its turn trying to
get up close enough to bite somebody and doesn't roll
bullshit. We will move to the disease
Strat which rolls a six and it is also a poisoned bite attack.
But since nothing is next to it, it will also move up one space
in the marching order and get a little closest to us and then
roll its own bullshit. And it is a nothing, no
bullshit. So real big turn for the giant
rats there. They mostly ran around and tried
to bite us. And so that will that's so.
Crazy unusual for rats. It's weird that they did.
Literally. Exactly.
Yeah. What rats might do.
What rats might do Crazy. They didn't even find a femur or
anything, which is just unusual. In this game, there's.
No femur here. Suspicious.
Yeah. Yeah, that's the spirit.
I think I am going to swap places with barns.
So so that you're almost dying in arm in the front of the
marching order, That might be a great idea.
Now is it possible to do that after I make my action?
Or is is the moving itself the action?
Yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah.
Take a swing first. Yeah, alchemist fire at the Army
of rats. You are taking a swing and a.
Half rat number one in the marching order 7 then.
Seven. OK, that is barbecued rat.
Barbecued Rat Rat number 24. Versus their defensive one is 3,
which is how much else they have barbecued rat.
And nasty rat is A5. Defensive 2 is also three
barbecued rat. Sweet.
And that's a four. 4 defensive 2 is 2 ended or that's the full
one? OK, so this rat has one health
left. All right, and then I will move
behind my compadre barns. You know, it's almost like good
that you didn't kill it because now you maybe have a chance to
get healed before that next encounter, you know?
This is true. Or Barnes you could kill.
Between encounters. Barnes could.
Kill Barnes could just kill me right here.
Could theoretically kill you, yeah.
I mean, that is also a really good all right.
Speaking of Barnes, turn to some friendly fire.
Yeah, I'm gonna try to kill Patsy.
Let's see if I hit him with the no.
Obviously I didn't go for that rat boy.
I got a six total. That is a dead rat.
That rat is so dead but. I sought to roll my bullshit
You. Do.
I didn't. I didn't roll mine either.
Yeah, roll your bullshit so I can roll my bullshit.
I got nothing. Yeah, nothing.
All right. Murder.
Murder.
Murder. 02 you.
Know it's the murder again. Whiff right past you.
You're at this point, you're just like, it's like cartoon
news. You're just like 222.
Like just like dodging on the way.
And I'm 5050, every time I dodge I grab a torch.
Yeah. You're.
Like a duck down. I was like, oh, a torch.
OK, well that went better than our first one.
Not too shabby. I think we should celebrate with
a giveaway I. Think I think that sounds
fucking great. Let me get off this combat
music. So probably most of you are
already in the giveaway. If anyone has joined late and
wants to get into the giveaway, type exclamation point curse
into the chat and that will enter you into the giveaway.
Also, if you're late and haven't checked out the Kickstarter yet,
we are approaching yet another stretch goal which I was really
hoping to go to bed before it happened, but hey, SE la vie.
The link is posted at the top of the chat.
And it actually is now. So here we go.
We are closing the entries. close, Oop, close, oop, close.
All right, pick a winner. That is going to be Caddy Bree.
I know they're here. They have been very active.
Caddy Woo, say words was four. There you go.
You didn't, so give her whatever you want.
Excellent, So we'll go first thing on the list.
That seems fair. This is the pamphlet adventure,
or I'm sorry, no. The Zen Adventure for Morkboard.
Tower of the Devil Born Magister with art by Mustafa Bakir Tower.
Devil born Magister for Morkboard.
A wacky little trip through a countryside besieged by a
sadistic, soulless succubus from their faraway tower.
So good luck surviving that. Give Brad a rad Brad Kish a
message whisper, and we will get that to you.
Excellent. Thank you so much, everybody.
All right. So what's our current situation?
We were coming down through this passageway.
We came in from the north. So I doubt we want to turn
around, right? We're probably going to the
southwest there. Yep, can't now can we, even if
it's just an RP, have some of these rat chunks?
Oh 100%. I mean, they're already cooked,
what else are we going to? Do I was going to say it's
literally Rd. rations at this point.
Yeah, I don't know that I like the way that Patsy keeps staring
at him as to flame flickers, you know, kind of kind of unsettles
me Got. To watch his work.
Work, yeah. Listen, listen, if if my old job
is setting stuff on fire, you know.
I'm a good at it. Too.
Yeah, listen, my job is to hit stuff.
With a sword. And I do.
I've hit multiple things with swords.
I would like to maybe try and zone in on what's to hit and
what's not to hit with the sword.
Listen, I sell the sword, not the target, all right?
Do you have? Any sedatives on you or?
Oh hey, so Pepsi actually could we can I give him a health
potion outside of combat? So that's actually something
we've really been debating. In the first Mud and Blood
edition, you cannot use items or rearrange your marching order
outside of combat. But I have been thinking about
maybe introducing like a if you want to play hardcore mode.
That is still true, but we haven't really decided yet.
So it's interesting that you'd ask that.
I'd say in the spirit of a new edition coming.
Yeah, why not? Hands over 30 coins worth of
health potion blood. Blood.
Blood. 26 my dude, please be higher.
It rolls A1. Please, please be hot.
Fuck you, sorry. Yes, I forgot that this is
going. To be a podcast.
Episode 2 for those that are unaware.
Definitely roll the one. You're welcome for cursing you
and coining you hashtag back on your bullshit.
Oh God I only have one luck point because I almost want to
spend a luck to like redo that. I do have one luck.
I'm going to spend it now. I'm going to spend it now.
Yeah. Yeah, another. 1.
Don't say it. Yes, yes, yes, that's.
Another one. Shut your mouth.
Oh, this is crazy. I'm done.
This is crazy. I'm done. 30 coin and luck point
gets you one point of healing. Nothing.
I will die next combat. Yeah.
Just imagine there's like some like.
Nothing a good hey Sir. Twigs and leaves floating in it.
I think he sold me a defective 1.
Yeah. Are you feeling better there,
Patsy? I'm.
Good now. Yeah, it burned a little going
down. That's good.
You like to burn. Well, you know, like to sell my
own game there. I really think part of the fun
is the chaoticness of there. And it's like, it really is
almost as fun when you lose, then when you win, you know for
sure that nonsense because that that was a good time right there
watching you get one hit point. Yeah, exactly.
Exactly. The.
Deadpool All right, OK, so onward to the southwest after
chomping on some dead rats. OK, give me a SEC to set up the.
Actually he got 6 hit points, but the dead rats gave us
dysentery and he lost 5 again. That's just the way the
outgoing. Ain't that just the way it is.
OK, so we come upon something here.
Yeah, we do. You come upon a small cabin
tucked away in the woods. Vines crawl up the wotting.
Excuse me? Vines crawl up the rotting wood.
Nothing has lived here in a long time.
Do you want to explore the cabin or do we want to turn back the
way we came? Explore the cabin.
Cabin sounds like a good place to hide for a wizard.
You're right. Especially from the earth
whacking. That's.
That's my Thwacken cabin. All right, Yes.
The door comes off the hinges when you try to open it, sending
a billowing cloud of dust blowing outwards.
You cough and sneeze for a moment and then blink your eyes
to clear them from the detrius. Wow, I used the word detrius.
Go me. Detritus.
Detritus, yes, so thing you should know about me.
And Brad laughs at me at this all the time.
There are many words that I have read before I've ever heard and
will slaughter the pronunciation pronunciation of them.
In in your defense, I had always just read it in my mind as
Ditrius as well and literally 3 weeks ago I learned it was
detritus. And so in your defense, this.
Is good. We're all there.
Together, yeah. This is this is like the
beginning of the show when we were talking about our future
plans. So like you 2 first time.
Yeah. Yeah, exactly.
Looking at the inside of this one roof cabin, you can see the
roof slant severely downward. It makes you question how safe
it is to actually go inside. There are things of interest
though. A cupboards.
A cupboard. Cupboard sits still closed.
A large cook pot is on the cold hearth, it's lid close, closed
securely on top of it. Most curious is the rope that
winds around some pulleys before disappearing into rafters.
What's that about? So we can open the cupboard, we
can open the cook pot, we can inspect the rope, or we can get
out of here. Divide and conquer, yeah?
The either or on all options. I mean so.
It's a marching order. We have to have an order for how
we March to these things, guys. Yeah, we say.
Pot first. Yeah, I was going to say I I
definitely want to go. To you know what, you know what?
Let's ask chat, chat. What are one of the options,
right. I know Romo Feather said.
Pot. What's everyone not saying in
there? Cupboard pot.
Pot we got. We got a couple of pots here,
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah. OK, we got 2 pots.
We got 2 pots I think. I think we're getting to go.
Pot. That's another pot.
Listen, another pot we got. Some we got.
Some readings we got. Two we got.
Some put another pot. Another pot.
Not a pot A. Couple of Potters.
Yeah, a pot. Let's go pot it's.
A pot, yeah. OK, we're going pot.
We're going pot. I could set up a pole, but I'm
not going to, so we're just going to go pot.
I mean, that was the scientific as it gets there.
You jump back as the mother of all giant rats jumps out of the
pot, covered in lard. It must have been in that pot
for a long time, eating grease. Now it's bigger and meaner than
any other you've ever seen. We're going to fight a giant rat
with a special. It has some special things to
it. It has the condition boss, which
means it takes up every spot in the marching order, IE it
doesn't matter what distance you can normally target, we can all
target this giant rat. It rolls 2 dice for initiative
and uses the higher roll. It has 13 health and additional
qualities for its bullshit role, so if it rolls A-125 or six, it
has bullshit that operates OK. That's a big fucking rat.
That was a big pot. It looks like a crock pot.
Maybe I should rewrite it as Cauldron.
Well, let's let's make it. A little cauldron.
There we go, giant rat. Somebody take?
Your giant. Rat.
Yeah, Giant rat. A rat of extremely unusual.
Yeah, I'm gonna die. Just.
Get. Just get.
Points.
You're great. This is true.
And no alchemist fight. One more than you need.
Did you say it was covered in lard?
There was word that it it was a lardy rat.
It does have so it's it's extra bullshit is if it rolls A5 that
sucker is greasy. It gains the conditions
protected and speedy for being so greased.
Listen, if it's Greece that means it's flammable AF.
That's what I was thinking, I just want to light it up.
How many alchemists fire do you have I mean.
No more. He's got a billion.
Torches. I've got 7 torches.
Just whips flaming torches. All right, let's do a giveaway
before we roll. Initially tell you that.
All right, What? Are we, what are we giving away
for? We can say before we before we
say. That.
Yeah, so we are. We're sticking on the Mork Borg
train here. And the next is going to be Den
of the Degenerate Ditch Diggers, affectionately known as DD,
which is like two extra DS in most people's favorite dragon
game. So it's kind of better, right?
And that is a pamphlet. I love venture for Mark Borg.
You gotta love the D. So yeah, that is what we are
giving away with this one. So if you haven't yet, again, I
bet everyone here has. But just in case, exclamation
point curse to get involved in the giveaway.
OK, I think we're good to go. Right.
So we're going to close those entries and we're going to pick
a winner and that is going to be Avery Thorn.
Avery Thorn, if you are here in chat, say words and you will win
a lot of DS. It's 4DS Avery Thorn.
Let us know if you're here for the 4DS.
Is Avery Thorn still in the viewer list?
There's no. Good way to say that.
Well, I mean, I feel like. Yeah, Avery Thorn.
There we go. All right, Avery Thorn.
Yeah. Yep, drop Brad, Brad Kish a
message and we will take care of you.
Awesome. All right, giveaways are going
great. So we have how many more do we
got? That's a great question.
That was DDD. We got three more giveaways and
the last one will be, of course, the big end.
We'll have to the big one. OK, we're fighting a giant rat
so we need to roll initiative. Well we've had we've had our
intrepid torch bearer there roll for a few times.
And Patsy you've done great. But let's make Hoot do some
rolling for that one and I'm gonna roll twice for the the
rat. Oh nice, so the rat rolled 2
fives but Hoot rolled A6. So we are getting to drop on
this greasy ass rat. Yes, Rat.
Oh no, please don't give it bonuses.
OK, so we're going to start with Barnes for the ass rat.
Fuck yeah, we are the greasy ass rat.
All right? So, so adjacent because we're in
a room. So marching order originally was
like you're in a marching order because you're in like tight
little dunge and stuff like that, but we're in forests and
cabins and things like that now. As far as adjacent, does that
mean I just need to be 1 space away?
So adjacent means you pretty much need to be like.
Up in the business. Yeah, yeah.
And despite the fact that like, it doesn't actually make sense,
like we're in a room, we could probably spread out.
A game gaming. Yeah, yeah, it's definitely like
everything is always in line. You know, rogues get used to
fighting in a line. They're not smart enough to
revise their battle tactics. They just gotta line up one
after the other and do the thing.
So because here's the thing. So so I can all I always keep a
knife in my boot, right? Much like a snake and.
Thank you. That means that I and it says I
can also take the hack and flash.
That means I can do both, right? Hell yeah.
But I just have to be up in their business.
And as far as movement goes, how explain to me and and everyone
if if we're in this situation, me being first, does that make
me adjacent to them or do I need to physically move closer to
them? Yeah, yeah.
So you being first means you're adjacent to them.
So at the front of the line of Rogues, and this will be.
So we have a, we have a great dry erase game board that's
actually coming with a new edition that I'm super excited
about. So all of these notes and things
that we have scattered about here, there's actually places to
put them on the board. Super stoked.
Anyway, at the front of the Rogue line, there is a, we call
it the battle line. It's what separates the Rogues
from the monsters. And so, you know, honestly, I in
the style tribe, I forgot what I was originally explaining, but
the rogue that's at the front of their marching order, whatever's
across that battle line is adjacent to them, which maybe is
what we are getting at. Dope.
So I can do both of these attacks on this person, this
thing. This creature long story.
Theoretically get 3 attacks, except that I'm going to roll
terribly kill my quality. Yeah, I'm going to murder.
I can attack all three times and hit my allies all three times.
So I'm going to do that. I'm going to roll.
So this will just be my hack and slash first?
No, I'll do the the knife in my boot first.
Wait so the creature suffers half damage.
All right. So yeah, I'll, I'll knife them
first just to make sure. That's a 5 total.
Hey, that is pretty good. The giant rat has no extra
defense, so it's 5 versus this defensive one.
That's kind. Of So it's half, right?
So it's 4 so 2 though, right? Because yeah, the knife in my
boot does half damage. That's two.
OK, so then I should have just used that for my regular attack.
That would have been great. But maybe a regular?
Attack will be 4-5, same shit. It does look cocked on the
screen though. I will say in the stream it does
look like a cock to dice, but it is a four so that's 5 total so
it should be another 4 damage right?
Yeah. So that's going to take you down
to seven. Not bad on this.
Ass rat. Listen, someone told me that I
need to focus, so I kept one eye open this time and then and then
I'm going to Roma bullshit and see if I can get a six so I can
hit again. That would be so great right
now. Damn it, it's a three.
I disappoint. I'm doing this in twice.
Hey listen, I just did 8 damage on this, on this giant ass rat,
this greasy ass rat. So.
Far we're cooking look. Lord.
I throw it. I was gonna say I throw a rock
at it, but that's another zero for your trepid torch bear and.
That is, the only number you could roll that wouldn't hit him
is 0 or lower. Patsy's bullshit.
Oh yes. Yeah, your your dice rolls have
not been kind to you. Oh, there's another 5.
Almost found a torch. No, you keep looking and that's
what counts. Really.
Yep. Yep.
All right, who? What do you got?
I'm a swap with our sales ward here.
Wait with our torch bearer. Swapping with the torch bearer.
Oh and your your medicine count will go down by 1 as well.
We'll swap you and take care of that.
Goes down to two. Oh, I.
Have a countdown now too though. Oh yeah, yeah, yours is what?
2 mine's, it's pretty. It's pretty.
It's pretty low. It's called keep a knife in my
boot. So you just call it like boot
knife or knife or whatever, Yeah.
Yeah, well, knife, yeah, 2 easy. Boot.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, and now I use my staff to
theoretically make a fierce physical attack.
We'll see whether or not it actually happened with a -1.
Physical 4/03. Three, excellent.
It has a defensive 1, so that is going to do 2.
Nice, thank. You So we got the greasy ass rat
down to 5. Damn, damn, look at us.
You got your bullshit role profession.
Listen, I'm just saying for all you and Chad that wanted to TPK
you. Know it's not happening.
You're messing with the wrong part of your pro.
We are professionals. OK, my reign of arrows is going
to go down by 1 and I am just going to take a pot shot.
At this guy. I feel like have you missed some
reign of arrows mark turning downturns?
Because that still feels like it feels like it rained arrows
forever ago. I very well might.
Have anyone been paying really super close attention?
I feel like maybe I think he was.
Probably, I think he missed turns ago.
I think he missed one. OK, let me.
Because it's 5, right? It's 5.
Yeah, yeah, because you did that.
Like the very first contact against the goblins, right?
We fought the rats. We fought always.
Like the entire rats second. Round with the goblins when they
were starting to be more problematic.
We'll take it there, We'll take it there.
That's good. We all got twos across the
board. Looks good to me.
Gosh, and what did I just roll? Does anyone remember?
Well, why did the I can look up chat history.
Let's see. Except it it it it it went.
Away, but did. The chat history go away I
guess. Not I guess.
I can't. All right.
Yeah, I think it was a six out. Well, it certainly isn't now.
So you're the one. Oh, wait, Chat said it was a 5.
Chat said it was a 5. We got people.
Thank you. Chat, chat, look at that.
That's three fives we'll take. It that is a 5 + 1 is 6.
So yeah, you're right with the six.
So that's actually 6 minus its defensive. 1 is five that's
going to kill the greasy ass rat before it gets chance to to do
its. Noise.
Now the question is, is it A and I'm kind of half talking to
chat, is it, is it a dry erase marker or a wet erase marker?
Because wetter. I will say this, wet erase
markers are extremely underrated.
DRY it is. Dry, it's all dry.
That's all we we, we dry. We dry here.
All right, we dry, as you guys know, watching water Chris and
Coin Edition Colon dry. All right, so I know I was
focused on wet and dry. So what do we kill it?
It's gone. I see The thing is gone.
We killed it. I rolled no bullshit, so we are
good there. We killed the dead and being my
goal is to get out at least, at the very least get out all these
giveaways before midnight on the East Coast, yes.
We got another one. Two versions, yeah.
Yeah, OK, We got two versions of Tecromancer, our pamphlet
adventure for Mothership. We got the pamphlet version and
the deluxe box set, which comes with standees and a soundtrack
CD and bunch of other cool dope stuff.
But we're going to start with just a regular pamphlet
adventure for Mothership. I'm not even going to tell.
Anyone how to oh you know what I did see someone new one new
person came in. If you would like to join the
giveaway exclamation point curse, type it in a chat, hit
enter, you'll be entered. Yeah, you got 3 seconds, or at
least until I maximize the window and hit close.
All right, it's closed and we are picking a winner.
Azazel. Azazel, say some stuff.
Say words and and you win. Yeah, just let us know you're

the. Check the list of viewers.

I mean, they, maybe they, maybe they went to the bathroom, you
know? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe we check again in a little bit while they.
Go get that dry erase marker. Yeah, someone's pinging.
They're pinging Zazel. We'll give them.
Like I said, at least they're still in the viewer list, so we
know that they're not gone. Gone.
All that talk of ass rats might have been too much for them.
The mom needed to step away for a SEC, which understandable,
frankly. And then how many?
So this is there's one more. And then the big, the big, the
big giveaway, right? Yeah, we have our Tech Romancer
box set for mothership and then the big end, the corset of Curse
and. So you you guys out here doing
marching order, doing Mark Borg, doing OSC, doing mothership,
just doing a little bit of the everything there come like keep
huh? Yeah, you know, it's, it's
Marching Order is our only full game that we have written at
this point. I I really enjoy writing
adventures, something I really enjoy.
There are some other games, full games in the works, some of
which in the Marching Order universe, some of them not so
much. But yeah, a lot of lot of
adventures. I like writing adventures.
Can someone put in a plug and say when we'll crumbling keep?
Maybe write a mouse rider adventure?
Well, I do have 1 little freebie Mouse Rider Adventure floating
around somewhere. What was it?
Something Bartleby's Cashew Vegan Cashew Creamery or
something like that. And it's a trip through
somebody's attic. But you know, it's yeah.
I've. I really enjoy Mouse Ritter.
It is by far my favorite game to teach new folks when I'm getting
into it. And it's just like because it's
like A, it's easy to learn, but B, it's like outside of that,
it's just super solid and fun. So it's possible, you know,
like, is it something I want to do?
Absolutely. So if I ever catch up on
everything else I'm working on. All right.
I think we're gonna, we've not heard from Azazel.
So we are unfortunately gonna have to move on to the next
winner for the Technominter. Sorry.
Or Basil passed out face down at their laptop, not knowing what
they just missed. Eater of Worlds.
They have been here since the beginning.
If they're still here. You still eating worlds out
there? Eater of Worlds.
Oh no, I don't see them in the viewer list.
Oh no, I know it's getting late for some people.
Some people leave in. I mean, we got, yeah, Eater of
Worlds. I mean, again, I'm very, I'm
very deep in my Warhammer, my Warhammer bullshit.
So Sons of Angran, gosh, you're a worlds again.
So I again, I don't see them in the viewer list.
So if they don't say something soonish, we're just going to
pick a third one. You just can't give this away.
Can't just get you just can't give this giveaway away.
Do people know are some of these like normal?
Like do you like in the in the marching order community, are we
aware of or is this Nah, we said you have to be here.
So I don't know. Unfortunately these sucks to
suck. I guess I don't I mean, and the
nicest way possible, a couple people missing out on some cool
stuff. So we are going to go ahead and
pick the next person new to Reno.
You did not win yet, so let's do.
This might be your lucky chance. Yeah.
All right, survey says. Oh, that is gonna be engage
phasers. I know that they've been here
for. Are you still here?
Yeah, they they just posted. Yeah.
Yeah, woo, I can move. I can remove some of these other
people too, Azazel, because it's only let me pick 10 winners, so
I'll have to, but it doesn't matter because I'll have the
list. All right, engage.
Basers, you got that. All right, message Rad Brad Kish
and we got you. Boom.
All right, what's next? Do you so, so, so you, you had
said for us that it was going to end around 9:00-ish o'clock.
We just finished a combat. Do you want to just kind of wrap
up talking about a little bit and give these last two
giveaways away or did you want to keep playing a little bit?
What it's, it's, it's up to you. We're also on the West Coast.
I mean, I guess 9:00 PM is late for something else too.
I've only been awake for four hours.
What do you what do you want to do?
And for the for the record, also like as far as like we have
stopping points, what not the the shack here I don't think has
another combat in it, if I remember correctly.
So if you wanted to go through that like it wouldn't it, you
know, generally moves quicker outside of combat, but also that
game for whatever, Yeah. Let's let's finish, let's finish
with the thwack Jack and the thwack and and then we'll and
then we can do the last, the last couple and and then do some
more shameless plugs. OK, excellent.
So I do look forward to more Shameless.
Plugs. What did what did we have left?
We have the rope and the what? Let's see here.
Sorry, getting back to it got a. Few the coverage.
The coverage? Yep.
The cupboard, yeah. Yeah, we've been covered.
I think, I think rope was the next, the next thing that chat
wanted. So we'll go rope.
Yep. OK, so and just a reminder for
everyone, what that is, is a rope going through the pulleys
in the rafters. So we go to the rope entry.
This is much more complex mechanism than you expected.
Do you? There's a few choices here.
Want to try and figure it out? Want to just pull it or want to
leave it the hell alone? Pull, pull.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We we pull, push.
The chaos button. Yeah.
OK. Yeah, this is great.
I just stand there like this. When they do, and when the
torches falls from the ceiling, yeah.
OK, we are just going to pull it, which will take us to entry
#55 You pull the rope and it goes slack, the end of it
falling to the ground in front of you.
You only have a moment to question why, when a panel in
the floor swings open beneath your feet, your hand scrubbed
futilely at the edge of the newly open pit before you fall
into the bottom of it. You'll crawl out of it.
This. You'll crawl out of it in a
second once you get your wind back.
So one of the things I forgot that it did mention a text where
I didn't read is that we are supposed to pick which rogue was
pulling the rope. Yeah, Patsy.
Oh it. Feels like something Patsy would
be doing. Roll off, roll off.
Lowest roll is in the pit. Do it.
D6 is go. Yeah.
Lowest rolls in the pit. I don't know why I rolled 2D6,
but you roll the one. Yeah, who in?
The Pit. OK, who is losing 1D3 health?
Oh. Shit.
Oh. That would have killed.
Me that would have we should. Have been terrible.
In the pit. I lost one all.
Right. I finally lost health.
I do. I do want Patsy to roll just to
see if he want to die. Roll the D6 just to see or D3 to
see if he would have died. You have like two help.
Oh, I would. Have.
Yeah, yeah, that's a three. I would have died.
You saved Patsy's life by by by being the one that that yanked
on the rope. You might.
Have been safer that way? I'm not sure.
I've killed a lot of things today.
So that returns us back to the main room.
Apparently, whatever the rope did, as far as we know, that's
it. And then the weather.
Cover like of course it's just randomly trapped.
I think you have David Carradine and that's all I'm going to say.
Oh my gosh, of course you went. Yeah, sorry, sorry.
Anyway. So Patsy, you want to go check
that? Cupboard.
I'm on it. I'm checking the cupboard.
OK going to the cupboard, nothing major but these effects
could be useful. You find 2 bandages, 2 anti
venoms and one holy water. Wow.
And I can carry all of it because I bought a backpack.
There you go. And my friends is the the end of
that shack. There is a good deal more in
this first in this first delve in the the gallows.
So. Oh no, yeah, I'll explain more
about that in a SEC, but why don't we do the tech romancer
box set giveaway and then we'll do a little hype up, talk about
marching order a bit and then. We'll do the the big in so Eater
worlds. Is back, yes.
So yeah, I guess to fix this, we're just going to send out two
2 mothership, 2 mothership. So the Technomancer pamphlets,
Yeah. Two, thank you.
Yes. Look, the the crumbling keep is
is nothing but generous. So eater worlds.
So you as you were having twitch issues because listen, hey,
twitch, twitch has been twitch has been twitching.
You won and we're going to go ahead and do another, another
winner for that. So I believe it was the tech
manager pamphlet. So message Brad Rad, Brad
Kitsch, send them a whisper and they will send you out one of
those as well. And then this giveaway is for
the whole box set, right? The next one.
Yeah, this is for the Tech Romancer box set, which comes in
a sweet ass box, comes with a pamphlet, comes with two sheets
of standees, a sheet of room tiles, and a CD of the
soundtrack. And Brad has lovingly shrink
wrapped every single one of them because he convinced me we
should get a shrink wrapper. And you know, I'm going to be
honest, I was like, yeah, OK, whatever makes you happy.
But now that I've seen it, it looks like so like I can't
complain. There you go.
So, so it you have just a couple of seconds before I close
entries. If you have not hit exclamation
point curse to do that right now and we're going to give away the
penultimate giveaway. That's a, that's a reminder for
everyone out there that penultimate means next last, not
last. It's a cooler word, but sorry.
And penultimate giveaway, the Technomancer box set.
We have a couple, we have a couple late entries.
I'll get, I'll give five more seconds for any, any, any late
entries here. Exclamation point curse.
I think we got like two or three there in the last second.
And for folks that backed. The exclamation point curse.
Jim. James Jimothy.
The Tekromancer Kickstarter you did you know that we had
misprints on the pamphlet and are sending the right ones out
soon? We're going to be.
We just had to get this launched.
We'll be getting to that in the very near future.
So never fear, you will be getting the properly printed
Tekromancer pamphlet. Once again, showing that you
guys do it, do it right. We we you don't get 1, you get
2. And one of them is correct.
Even that's amazing. One of them even right.
There we go. All right.
I saw Jim James did it wrong. I want to make sure they did it
right before I close the entry. So for the penultimate giveaway,
the the entries are not closed and we are going to pick a
winner that is going to be all right.
That's. Better mana Mana don't someone.
Else give it to someone else. Hey, listen, you're you're
allowed to win. James, do.
What do you think of a participant winning?
I mean, Patsy's in the chat there.
It's up to you, Matt. You want to?
No. Give it to someone else.
All right, all right, give it to someone.
Else give it to someone else. Getting rid of you.
I own everything you guys have ever made, so I I'm not going to
so this is brand, bro, this person brand.
Brand dub Brand dub her own tree, Brent.
Brand that person. Prone.
Let us know if you're here. Yeah, please say.
How do you say your name like? How do you say give?
Us a phonetic. I've been again.
Brand brown tree. All right, so message rad Brad
Kish, whisper him with your address information.
We'll get that sent out to you. And that leaves only one
giveaway to do. But before we do that, let's
let's talk about marching order. So yeah, this was so as part of
this box set, there are three books in it.
There is a new core book which details all their cool core
rules, has things to buy and whatnot.
There's actually going to be different rogues available in it
than there were in the Mud and Blood edition, and they are all
compatible. So if you have both, you can use
all the rogues. There's also going to be the
Neck Deep, the Sewers of Rock Bottom, which is going to be a
random dungeon generator so that even when you were through the
published adventures, you can continue crawling around in the
muck and the crap forever. Because who doesn't want to do
that? And finally there is this is
what this adventure was part of the Gallows.
It is A at this point I imagine we hit the stretch goal to make
it a 5 delve campaign book that is going to go through the
thieves quarter of rock bottom, which is lovingly called the
Gallows. We didn't get to the actual
thieves quarter today. This is kind of the introductory
set up for getting there. We did not find Bataire and his
bent staff of Pali and figure out what the story is with that.
But yeah, it's a good thing it's.
A good time. Yeah, it's a it's a fun
campaign. I've been having a blast writing
it. And with the new components and
rules in the new Corset of Marching Order, it can do things
that the other Dells have not done before.
One of my favorite little things in there is on the game board,
there is an escalation track. So every time you go into a new
room when you're doing the random dungeon generation, you
move up the coin in the escalation track and that gets
added to your dice rolls so that the sewers become increasingly
more dangerous. But since it was there, I get to
use it for adventures now. And so a little spoiler.
Stick your fingers in your ears if you don't want to hear this.
In this campaign, the one that we are playing just now, there
is a chase scene that makes use of that escalation track.
And when you fail rules or go the wrong way or what not, you
get to advance that. And if it gets to a certain
point, you lose your query. So it was just a lot of fun.
New mechanics in the new edition.
Things that like when you use a game book format, it's usually
like pick A or B and that's what you do.
I forgot I had this graphic all made forever and I forgot what
we did. A giveaway to keep throwing this
up. That is awesome.
Brad will send that graphic to me randomly when we do things
like you will be like, hey, how's this and I'll check it
out. And it's me in this gnome
costume. It has been ongoing for a long
time. So when I saw that pop up, I
immediately was like, how did he get access to the board?
I did not send him that. Well, you sent me all of those
marching orders having as soon as I saw that I was like, oh, I
have to put this in here. This has been the second
giveaway and I keep forgetting to to pop it set up.
So if you're in podcast land, no spoiler, just go check out the
YouTube. Gosh I wish I'd put that up for
every time. Anyway, keep going.
Sorry. And it was a great finale,
whatever the case. But yeah, so a lot of new
mechanics, a lot of new books, a lot of new components, lots of
standees stats on the cards. We really tried to make the game
flow a lot better than the original edition did.
And the components I think do a great job of that and like I'm
excited to make it for a lot of reasons.
And one of the reasons is when I play it, I want to use them.
You know, I think it just makes it a easier, better flow
experience. You can still find the link to
back it at the top of the page. It has been a banner day one.
Here we are. Gosh, we are at our funding goal
was 15,000. We're at 28,500 right now and
has gone up considerably during this stream, so thank you for
everyone in here that's contributed to that.
You're all great. Matt, Chanel, Ryan, thank you so
much for playing tonight as well.
This has been fun, awesome, and I look forward to getting to see
some of you all in the next few months in person.
Oh yeah, very excited. I I kind of wanted to throw a
picture of the box up, but just go to the Kickstarter thing and
check it out because there's not one, but two different box sets.
And of course I had to back for the fancy the fan or got to get
the fancy one. I'll probably end up getting a
regular one too, just because it's because.
You know what, I do want to talk about the fancy one for a SEC
too, because I kind of love it a bit.
So, you know, it's it's a slip case that goes over the slip
case, but it's covered in art by Mustafa Bakir, who does all the
art from Marching Order. He's the reason it looks as cool
as it does. But yeah, so he's covered the
whole thing in art. And the inside of it is like
kind of like a diorama of the sewers and there's going to be
space for the standees in there. So you can actually like kind of
play in the sewers and use it as your game board.
And yeah, I'm super stoked about it.
It was one of those things where I was like, oh, we have an idea
and this is going to be awesome. The other idea like that we've
had during this campaign is the freaking treasure chest.
So we are making there's a version of the game, it's our
top tier there that comes in an actual wooden branded treasure
chest with everything we've ever made.
Hardcover copies of the passbooks.
Well, the passbooks being master of the Onyx Tower and the
original adventures from Mud and Blood, the only place currently
you can get them, and probably always, I don't know, we haven't
really decided on that. In hardcover is going to be in
this chest. And, you know, it's one of those
things and it's full of like upgraded components in the sense
of like, yeah, that's the one. The deck boxes are leather.
There's a deck like leather pouch for the dice.
It is full of sweet ass stuff. And this was one of those things
that we're like, we want to make this because we want to own it.
You know what I mean? Like Brad and I both totally
want one of these because holy shit.
Ass stuff. So yeah, Marching order, curse
and coin edition I'm. Stoked, very excited for this
again. We gosh, how long ago did we
even look at marching order? I want to it's that was like, I
feel like that was like early on in our in our podcast.
I don't even know. Yeah, it was.
It was the first time we ever met.
Cuz cuz we did, we did, we did we talk after that or before
that or I don't even remember. My brain is so gone I don't even
know. Oh so yeah.
So we we chatted with you girls on episode 54 and then reviewed
on episode 55. So that was 120, almost 120
episodes ago. Wow.
That way. That was over a year ago.
Yeah, it says one year ago, but that could be like a year, 11
months. It's November 10th, 2022.
It's almost 2, four years. Two years ago.
Damn. We were probably talking about
the sewers then, I bet. Have you listened?
To that episode, I'm almost positive that we had a
conversation. So hey, listen, if you want to
at least hear about the, the old marching order stuff, you can go
check out our the weekly scroll over on YouTube, episodes 54 and
55 to, to, to see our, our review of the original marching
order and to hear a, a a chat. I think it was it just me.
I don't know if it was on that episode.
I think it might have just been you, me and Brad.
I think Conor was right. Maybe I am making that up?
Though honestly I don't remember the last episode we did much
less than one we did two years ago so.
So go check all of that stuff out.
And I will say about that one, like we talked about upcoming
releases in there that got pushed back because of the
sewers. Those are still coming.
So if you're like what happens after Kirsten Coin Edition gets
released, we talked about that there.
There are some big Dells in the future.
There is a miniature skirmish game that is in it's play
testing phase and written up so there is a lot more rock bottom
marching order goodness to come. No, it's.
Just us 3 and it's the longest interview we ever did because I
think that we just like forgot the time and it's two hours
long. So we just we just kind of kept
chatting and then we had all day.
So we did. So it's you, me and Brad.
They're on on that. You know what?
I'm going to drop the link in chat.
Boom. Yeah, something to listen to
tomorrow when you're missing us from the party tonight.
And thanks to everyone in chat too for coming out for this
launch party. Yeah, you showed up in numbers
and I appreciate that are. We yet is that is that it we
doing? The big thing?
Everyone, we're doing the big thing, yeah, to make sure you do
estimation point chat or estimation.
Point curse one person just get here.
That said, I'm late but I finally made it.
If you want to be involved in the giveaway for the Marching
Order curse and Coin edition, type exclamation point curse in
a chat now because we are going to give it away.
Yes, if you've already won, you can't win again.
So either of worlds, I removed you, but you did win once
already. So you can't want to get all
this delete again. I think that's it.
I think that's that's that's all we got.
We got. So we're going to close this for
the final time and we are going to pick the the the ultimate
winner, the the final person. Who will have to wait the
longest? And that is going to be Triad
forever. I know they've been here quite a
while. Triad, are you here?
Triad's here. Oh damn.
Oh damn, Triad. Yeah, it's triad.
Woo woo. Make sure you message Rad Brad,
they're in the chat. Whisper them all of your info.
I would just I just want to double check with Brad before we
we wrap up that they got all of the winners names and all the
stuff because they still have those names if we need to.
But if, if they got everybody, then we should be good as far as
the giveaways go. I'm so sad that I didn't have
that gnome giveaway the entire time.
I even made it right at the beginning so I could pop it up
every time and I knew I knew I was going to forget.
I even told myself you got to forget.
You should make a post it note. And then I forgot to make a post
it note to forgot to do the thing because my entire life
runs on post it notes. If you could see my setup then
I'm sad that I. Forgot.
It's beautiful, really. Yeah.
We'll have to do this again sometime just for an excuse to,
yeah. Yeah, yeah, you'll have to make
another new ultimate edition or something and then we can we can
play the game. This has been fantastic though.
It's been such a long time honestly, since I played
Marching Order and it was really great to get back in to play it
again. It's so fun.
It's so clean. Like you said, the voice is that
it's written in and everything that you the way that you write
it makes it so much, so fun and engaging.
And this was a really fun time because I know it's a solo war
Co-op game. It's fun to play it either way.
This is definitely the first time I've got to play Co-op, and
it was it was a great time. Yeah, it is.
It is a lot of fun with the Co-op like it Brian and I play
test most of the adventures Co-op just because there's two
brains at it. But like I think that's one of
the things I like about it is like, do you have less than four
people? It works.
And it's not like a game where like, well, you can play a solo,
but you're going to be sad about it or vice versa.
Yeah. And thanks again for mentioning
like talking about the voice that's written in.
And I think that combined with like, it's, I think Mustafa's
art and Brad's like, layout, like those wonders to bring that
all to life. It's I can't imagine it without
like any of those elements. And yeah, it's, it's gonna be a
good one. I'm, it's been great.
Thanks y'all. This has been really good.
Three of you guys together between the layout, between the
arm, between the voice, it created such a perfect like
amalgamation of like, I think all three of you like elevate
each other's like Ness into something that's so fantastic.
So triad is asking which which version which set is is it?
Is it the the basic set is the night set?
Like I don't think you're giving away the treasure chest.
So what? What exactly is the ultimate
version Giveaway here at the end?
Yeah, it is. It is the base set, the cell
sword tier if you're looking at that there.
You go. So thank you to all the winners
giving away the entire plethora of marching of of crumbling keep
swag, all of the things, all the box sets, all the pamphlets and
original marching order, new marching order.
First of all, thank a, thank you for coming on and B, like thank
you for being such a generous creator of stuff to not only
give away everything but have it even another giveaway for
someone who had to step away from chat for a little bit.
So thank you for being awesome. Yeah, I mean, technical issues
have been plaguing us all day, so I get it.
I mean, some of it's user error in the sense of I sent the, hey,
the Kickstarter's launched e-mail at midnight instead of
noon today. And so I woke up to a bunch of
emails of people being like, hey, is this actually launched?
And so that was, that was fun and.
Then I was sending to work and I got the e-mail and I was like,
this is really early. I know they're East Coast, but
that's crazy, you know, It wasn't so.
Yeah, it was not supposed to be that early.
And then Kickstarter was super glitchy today.
People were having trouble posting.
But we have, we have gone through it all and here we are.
And thanks for everybody for coming along for the ride.
Yeah, it's been a super fun stream.
We definitely need to do more of these for those I don't even
know. Like, I guess I mean, are we is
that is that us? Is that us for for day one of
the marching order coin and curse edition or curse and coin
edition stream? I think, I think, I think, I
think we did this. Yeah, it's been up for the
Kickstarter's been up for 12 hours, I think we can call it.
Brad, do you need to talk to anyone?
Because do you need to talk to anyone before we close this out,
or is chat still up? I forget how the world works.
Yeah, everything, everything is still up.
I believe that they should have the full list of winners.
We're all set, yeah. So we're good.
We're good, everyone's got all their stuff.
So again, I want to say thank you to participants here,
Janelle and Matt. First of all, Janelle, it's been
way too long. Please come play with us more.
Matt. I'll talk to you regularly, but
you're great. Big fan.
For those that don't know, quick, quick, quick plug for
Mana. Don, throw some throw some links
out there, Matt. Yeah, so currently right now
running a huge mouse Ritter game jam on itch.
So come check us out mana Don TTG dot itch dot IO and yeah,
come check us out make mouse for adventures.
Yeah, those don't know Matt is kind of the I don't know, are
you officially like the number one Mouse Rider fan slash maker
outside of like Isaac, obviously.
Yeah, yeah, I am. I run the Mouse Rider library
with Hugh Lashbrook and one of the mods on the Mouse Rider
discord. Yeah.
So this is Mr. Mouse writer again, outside of Isaac.
It's really funny. I'll tell you something, remind
me to say something funny after. But so definitely go check out
all that stuff if you haven't played mouse writer.
Mouse writer is fantastic. Definitely as as James said,
it's it's easily one of my top two or three intro to new player
games, but also just awesome, even if you're not a new player
game. So having someone who is
awesome, like Matt making so much awesome stuff and
encouraging other people to is is great.
And then obviously, James again, gosh, you've been on the show
now maybe one of the most, I think that between the
interview, the review, guessing as a player coming on and
running this like 5 or 6 times on the show, always a fan,
always appreciate the work you do, always appreciate the stuff
that you're making and the voice that you write it in.
And thank you so much for I guess like asking us to to host
this launch party. I'm so glad you're into it.
I've had a great time every single time I've been on the
show. Crumbling Keep has a definite
crush on the weekly scroll. Well, we are, we are mutual
mutually crushing here here at the the weekly show as well.
So that is us. We will make sure for those that
didn't get to watch this live and you're watching later, all
of the links to everything, both to to Matt to James to the
Kickstarter, everything will be down below, including the links

You guys have made it wonderful. Thank you, James for coming on
