He means him. 22 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,800 And we're going to try to kind of read through things a little 23 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,600 bit easier, a little bit more effectively, maybe not get so 24 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,280 tied up on rural stuff. You can just reach yourself and 25 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,280 give you the game more. So this is the first time trying 26 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:41,840 that. We'll see how successful it is. 27 00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:44,600 We're we're 16 minutes in with the pre stream. 28 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,320 So we'll see what we what we get when we're doing. 29 00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:49,440 So unless we have anything crazy to go over, I can switch to the 30 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,640 down Cam. We can actually talk about the 31 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:53,720 yeah. I got, I got nothing early 32 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,000 major. I mean, where I think we're, 33 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:59,240 we're both mentally gearing up for Zine Quest next month, but. 34 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,840 Yeah, which we're not. We're, you know, we did enough 35 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,639 last year. We did enough every every year 36 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,040 for the past several. But yeah, let's go do let's do 37 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,680 hit that down Cam. Yeah, let's hit this down, Cam. 38 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,720 So yeah, here we go. Look at those. 39 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,040 Look at those hands. So this is Wolf Walt for you, 40 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,720 for all of you out there in podcast land, I highly recommend 41 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,240 checking this out on the stream right now. 42 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,200 You can also just go check it out on the Lost Pages website. 43 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,360 But how beautiful is this box? So it's a white box, it fit, 44 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:40,080 it's holding, there are 5A5 zenes inside and it comes with a 45 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,640 cloth map, which is wonderful. But let's talk about the box 46 00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:46,560 first. So it has the logo, it says wolf 47 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,520 old in red and above that I assume in some in a runic 48 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,960 language in red that also says wolf old. 49 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:57,360 There's this fantastic black 3 headed wolf logo, icon logo and 50 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:58,960 at the bottom it says L Reynoldson. 51 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,560 It's got the I logo for lost pages and then it says lost 52 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,160 pages. One of the other things I love 53 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:07,760 about the box, the before we even get into the box is on all 54 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,920 four corners of the box. It has like the Runic logo, the 55 00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:15,120 I and lost pages. So however you put it on your 56 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:20,240 shelf, you'll be able to see it. And one thing that I really love 57 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:25,360 is a lot of books from parts of Europe do a weird thing where on 58 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,120 the spine it it aims that way. So if you lay in flat, it's 59 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,600 upside down. This doesn't it's great. 60 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,760 And, and actually, if you take the lid off the box, on the 61 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,240 inside edge of the bottom box, there's even more stuff. 62 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,760 So on one of the edges is the little drawings of little 63 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,280 illustrations of a wolf howling, starting to run and then running 64 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,480 towards a deer all along one side. 65 00:03:56,680 --> 00:04:03,000 On one side there are these four like ocean creatures, you know, 66 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,360 like like Loch Ness kind of things coming up out of the 67 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,720 water, water Dragons and, and things. 68 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:12,920 On the other side there are these 4 kind of goblin troll ask 69 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,360 figures on one side and then there's a necromancer or three 70 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,480 skeletons with run running towards them on the other and on 71 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,240 the top it says to Russ with a. Shining 1 you mean? 72 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,800 A shining one. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 73 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,920 And that is all before we even get into the box. 74 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,680 And This Is Us getting into the box. 75 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,880 So starting with there is a beautiful cloth map. 76 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,920 We'll go over the map in the actual review. 77 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,240 You get that with a digital version of this and then you get 78 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,840 5 zenes. We're going to go over why that 79 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,920 fucking is amazing and I love it so much, but we're getting 5 80 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,920 zenes in here. We get wolf's heads, we get 81 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:56,160 magic, we get campaigns, we get monsters, and we get people. 82 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,320 Five different zenes in here. They're all wonderful, they're 83 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,600 beautifully laid out. They're all roughly like 45 to 84 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,600 60 ish pages. They're stunning. 85 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,480 It's very reminiscent of the cover of the box. 86 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,360 It look exactly like the cover of the box. 87 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,520 It just has volume one of five booklets and then the name 88 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,040 Wolf's Heads on volume 1. Otherwise it's the same. 89 00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:20,440 All white on the back too. And then it has the lost Pages 90 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,680 logo. It's gorgeous. 91 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:29,840 And then on the back of the box you get all sorts of info about 92 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:35,040 the game Wolf walled. You get, you know, wolf does a 93 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:36,360 role-playing game that blah blah blah. 94 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,000 You get a list of a breakdown of all 5 booklets. 95 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,160 You get like the map in small on the back. 96 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,240 It's great, It's great. And then two more illustrations, 97 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,680 this giant and and a dragon on the back. 98 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,360 The so the box is gorgeous. It's lush, it's nice, it's 99 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,840 thick, it doesn't feel cheap by any stretch of the imagination. 100 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,800 The printing on it, the color is super vibrant and really, really 101 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,920 nice. All said and done, it's a 102 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,320 gorgeous freaking box set and I love it. 103 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,040 And again, the attention, the details in the box edges, both 104 00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:09,520 on the lid and the box itself. Love it so much. 105 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,200 It's fantastic. What do you, what do you think? 106 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,200 What do you think of that, buddy? 107 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:18,440 I mean, I, I loved it. I mean, as a product and box 108 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,400 set, it's great. Yeah, yeah. 109 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,480 And I mean, again, you know what we do here on the show when you 110 00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,000 do as much product review as we do game review. 111 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,400 That's why we generally wait to have physical products in our 112 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,680 hands, because listen, games are great, but actually owning them 113 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,360 and then being nice is also nice too. 114 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,920 So everything Las pages does is always to the nines. 115 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,560 So this is one that the absolutely, absolutely does 116 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:53,520 that. So let's let's kick over to the 117 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,640 regular review here. Now I I set that camera up nice 118 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,120 this time. I was very happy that it looked 119 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:00,680 you. Did a great job buddy, good job. 120 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,680 Close that up. I'm going to turn off my my 121 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:08,040 extra light here and we're going to get into this and we'll get 122 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:10,480 into the notes. So wolf walled. 123 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:17,080 So we're looking at volume one. Let me actually so the PDFs do 124 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:23,080 not come with the cover attached, which is fine, but you 125 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,200 they. It's a choice. 126 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:30,720 Yeah, but you do get all of the covers as other PDFs to look at. 127 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:37,120 So just through the cover of one up right there, so you can see 128 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,560 that it's front and back. So if you if you print it out, 129 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,200 you can just print the cover. It is my assumption, which is 130 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,040 which is neat. So that's number one, but we'll 131 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:51,920 go back to Wolfwald 1 Volume 1, Wolf's Heads, a lost pages book, 132 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:56,960 issue extra numero. I believe when I talked to Paulo 133 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,760 previously, they said that for those that collect all of the 134 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,040 lost pages books, the magic books get numbers and the non 135 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,520 magic books get these extra numerals. 136 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,000 So if you look at some of the previous stuff that they've put 137 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,240 out, you'll see some are issue 1, issue 2, issue 3, issue 8, 138 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,720 you know, etcetera, etcetera. So designed by Lee Ronson, 139 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,400 development of a Palo Greco. This is early medieval 140 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,040 literature expert, which was I mean this is a game about like 141 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,280 early medieval Anglo-Saxon era. So it's nice to have that expert 142 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:32,440 on That's Allison Kalila. Editing also by Allison Kalila, 143 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,520 cover art by Katie Walklin, interior art by Stefano Accordi 144 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,799 and cartography by Ross Nicholson. 145 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,039 First printing summer 2023. Great. 146 00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:44,840 So we get to a small table of contents, which is great, 147 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,840 except, you know, Yep thing, yeah, it's not hyperlinked. 148 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,120 Of course we're going to complain about that, right? 149 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,640 That's us. Also, I will say in the first 150 00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:00,960 book, it also has no bookmarks, so there's no real way to 151 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,160 navigate the book and it is a 60 page book. 152 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,880 So that kind of sucks a little bit. 153 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,400 A little bit. Yeah, it is. 154 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,800 It's kind of, I mean in the yeah, the sections are pretty 155 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,640 large in this book. I guess I I kind of see why they 156 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,640 didn't bookmark it, but you know. 157 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,640 Yeah. You know, I don't see why they 158 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,520 did at all, but. You bookmarked our notes page 159 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,120 for this. Yeah, yeah. 160 00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:31,920 So before we get into the book, let's talk about it a little bit 161 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:33,480 again. This is Wolf. 162 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:35,720 All this is from Paulo Greco of Lost Pages. 163 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:41,160 It is a TRBG set in a mythic Anglo-Saxon. 164 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:42,880 I'm going to move my notes my notes over here. 165 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,320 It is set in a mythic Anglo-Saxon. 166 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,200 Bro. If I could read my own notes, 167 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,720 that'd be great. Let's start from the top. 168 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,640 Hello Wolf Heads from this is Wolfwald from Polygraph of Lost 169 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,600 Pages. It's a teacher RPG set in a 170 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,520 world of mythic Anglo-Saxon tales where the players are 171 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,600 wolf's heads, outcast outlaws and outsiders trying to regain a 172 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,920 place in society. And this was originally on 173 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,440 Kickstarter. It funded March 22nd 2022 with 174 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:23,800 559 backers for 17,806 lbs which comes out to about 21,673 175 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:34,200 buckaroos so that's neat. Like yeah honestly should have 176 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,480 funded for more. Not going to lie. 177 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,720 This game slap super.

What are your? 181 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,560 What are your initial takes before we get too deep into 182 00:10:46,560 --> 00:10:49,160 here? I think for someone like me, 183 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,600 this is an amazing game, yeah. Yeah, yeah. 184 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,880 We'll talk about what that means here shortly because we 185 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,880 definitely have opinions on what what you mean by that. 186 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,440 So let's just get into the book. So in the table of contents, you 187 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,800 have a couple of sections. You have the Game of Wolfold, 188 00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:12,080 you have wolf old characters, wolf old gear, and then a couple 189 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:16,280 of appendices, the Anglo-Saxon names and the English old 190 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,800 English pronunciation notes, which is great. 191 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:20,680 I want to roll to that right off the bat. 192 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,680 Get to page 52 here. It is really dope that this is 193 00:11:25,680 --> 00:11:28,280 in here. They have a whole section here 194 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,960 where it basically says the following tables are tended for 195 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,640 use with Wolfwald and OSC. No, no no, that's not what I 196 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:35,560 want. That's OSC tables. 197 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,680 Old English pronunciations. They are presented here for 198 00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:44,200 textual flavor in the game. But damn it's hard. 199 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:49,080 Anyone that knows anything about linguistics like diphthongs and 200 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,400 and and and and and accents and things if it's not your native 201 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,560 tongue or hard. So they basically say here that, 202 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,680 sure, go ahead and try if you want. 203 00:11:57,680 --> 00:12:00,800 It's mostly for flavor, but pretty much everything also has 204 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:03,160 like when it says Dwargos, it also says dwarfs. 205 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,040 So you can just use dwarfs for your table. 206 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,640 That's totally fine. If you want to throw in a couple 207 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:11,040 of of the Old English kind of words every now and then just 208 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,560 for the flavor, go for it. But regardless, there is a whole 209 00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:19,080 section here on how to pronounce vowels, diphthongs, consonants, 210 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,960 all sorts of stuff. And that's great that that's in 211 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:24,720 here. I love that, but that is here. 212 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,920 So if you do want to attempt to try to speak a little bit more 213 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,960 to the language, that's great. So getting into the game of 214 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:39,440 Wolfold itself. So basically this beginning 215 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,800 part, I'll read a little bit at the top and then we'll go over a 216 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:46,240 bit to a Thagan. The Wolfpack is a little more 217 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,520 than a tool, a weapon to be wielded and wielded ruthlessly. 218 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:51,560 He cares a little for the members. 219 00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:54,440 As individuals, they're expendable, ignoble outlaws to 220 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,040 whom he owes no real and no real loyalty. 221 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,320 That thinking care is only what they can do for him. 222 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,360 And what a Wolf Pack can do is threaten, beat, rob, murder, 223 00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:04,920 assassinate and terrorize his enemies. 224 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:12,000 Yeah, great. So basically this section here 225 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,200 talks about the setting of Wolf Old and the setting is based on 226 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,440 parts of our earth and its history. 227 00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:21,840 But it is not our Earth, it is its own thing and it's 228 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:26,600 specifically set in a time like the early Middle Ages, like 229 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,640 sometimes called the Dark Ages, especially pre Christianized 230 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,440 Germanic cultures of the early medieval English and migration 231 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:39,120 periods of Europe between CE400 and CE700. 232 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,280 It does say though that like mini fantasy settings and wolf, 233 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,440 all the myth and magic that was superstition on in Earth's 234 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:52,360 history is real, if rare. And it is a world of men, kings, 235 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,840 Queens, Lords, warriors, serfs and slaves. 236 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:59,760 That is the world that we are in. 237 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,680 There's other kindred in the world, but we're going to go 238 00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:06,240 over those, so we don't really need to talk about it here. 239 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,640 What type of game is Will Fall? This is this is this is this is 240 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,120 where we're going to have our first discussion. 241 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,720 So what type of what type of game is it? 242 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,440 The PCs are outsiders and outlaws known as wolf's heads. 243 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,200 That's what you as a players are. 244 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:25,480 You are outsiders and outlaws. You are outside the law, which 245 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,320 means anyone can harm or kill you without fear of retaliation. 246 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,560 So this is a perilous life full of fear and mistrust. 247 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,360 Basically, in this world, it's very small, it's very community 248 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,600 based, it's very local and the law is very rigid. 249 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:44,160 And the people that have very specific places within society 250 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:47,960 and you as a wolf head, as an outcast, as an outlaw, you are 251 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,920 outside of that system completely. 252 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,080 And it is very rigid system. People know that you are outside 253 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:55,400 of it. So they can literally just run 254 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,360 up to you, stab you in the throat and walk away. 255 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:00,400 And people would just like, ah, fuck that guy. 256 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:02,280 And they're totally fine with that. 257 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,200 That works, right? That's this game. 258 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:11,640 And that's what you are, right? And then so, so, so Wolfwald 259 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,200 assumes you've grown tired of being lone wolf's heads and 260 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,440 abandoned together in service of a noble warrior, a noble warrior 261 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:20,080 Lord, which is a Thagon, which is what I said before. 262 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,280 It's capital TH e.g. N and you form what is called a 263 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:25,760 Wolf Pack. You are a dire weapon to be 264 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:30,160 wielded ruthlessly, and then under that Lord's protection, 265 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,960 you are safe in their territory. You were given food, shelter, 266 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,040 coin, gifts, and those gifts bestow honor on you. 267 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,560 And as you accomplish greater and greater things, you can 268 00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:44,080 actually start to shirk off that dishonor and reclaim a place in 269 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,560 society, potentially eventually being a warrior Lord yourself. 270 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,880 And one thing that I do like about one of the sections here 271 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,640 is that it says a Wolf Pack is a unique thing. 272 00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:56,840 It is singular, is one off is an elite force. 273 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,280 So there are not a a shit load of wolf packs running around. 274 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,640 You are the Wolf Pack. If maybe there's one in the 275 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,400 future, it might be some Lord saw your Wolf Pack and was like, 276 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,840 that's dope. I want my own group of killers. 277 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,680 And then they're there. But you're singular. 278 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:19,000 You are this elite kind of Black Ops Suicide Squad of Anglo-Saxon 279 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,800 dark ages we got. Harley Quinn and you know, me 280 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,040 and my Bros, we call ourselves the Wolf Pack. 281 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,000 You know what I'm saying? Yeah. 282 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:30,680 Yeah, get. It I had a comment, I might save 283 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,240 it. Actually, I'll save it. 284 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:38,000 We'll get there, right? So so the next section is 285 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:42,880 Adventurers in Wolfwald so. I do have one one comment. 286 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:48,560 Is it beggin or is it thane? Oh, I let's let's go to the Old 287 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:50,600 English. I would love it to be Thane talk 288 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,320 of the. Jeep, I think it's Thane like a 289 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,120 sword. It sounds better and that's like 290 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,440 a lower. As a lower level Lord that would 291 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,760 serve like a another hired of the Lord. 292 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,680 Essentially there's always a bigger Lord. 293 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,920 You know none. None bigger than Jesus though, 294 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:07,200 right? Right. 295 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,119 It does say the alternate spelling of fame. 296 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,800 Thank God, because then Fagin was just, yeah, fame. 297 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,640 You're thank you. Yeah. 298 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,319 So it's a thane, and that sounds way better. 299 00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:23,000 Yeah, this is the part right here. 300 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,440 It says Wolfwald carry out what in modern world would be the 301 00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:30,720 equivalent of Black Ops covert military organizations. 302 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,120 We're getting into the adventures and Wolfwald, I had 303 00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:34,280 skipped ahead of myself a little bit. 304 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,000 So the adventures are meant to be these Black Ops covert 305 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,640 military missions in the They're not. 306 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,960 It's not wilderness exploration. It's not dungeon delving. 307 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:45,680 It specifically says like that is not the game that you're 308 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,680 playing. You're not worried about those 309 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,120 kind of things. You're not worried about 310 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:51,320 hoarding coins or magical treasures. 311 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,440 You're not doing any of that stuff. 312 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:55,320 You are given a mission, you're expected to execute that 313 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:58,000 mission, you get the mission objective, you execute the plan, 314 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:00,960 you deal with the aftermath and consequences and you get 315 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,640 rewarded or admonished and that's it. 316 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,680 I and I love that. I love that I've I mean, in this 317 00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:09,440 world, you obviously could expand and play a little bit 318 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,120 more of an open world setting, right? 319 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:16,080 But I really like that wolf old is very focused in on Nope, you 320 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,960 are again, Suicide Squad black op operatives. 321 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:20,760 You are like, go assassinate that guy. 322 00:18:21,120 --> 00:18:22,600 And here's the stuff that you need for it. 323 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,200 And if you do it, you'll get a reward and you go, cool, we're 324 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,760 going to go do that and we're going to come back and we're 325 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,080 going to get a reward and that's it. 326 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:29,960 I really like the hyper focus of that. 327 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,040 I really do too. I, I think it is, and a lot of 328 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,640 this game kind of leans into this style of it. 329 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,400 Like it really reinforces this as the you don't worry about 330 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:42,240 those things like the gold, all that that's taken care of. 331 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,520 You are literally just finish a mission and be rewarded by your 332 00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,960 Lord, by the Lord you know by the theme. 333 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:54,200 You know, and I, I really like that it, it simplifies a game 334 00:18:54,360 --> 00:18:57,200 quite a bit to not have to worry about inventory and things like 335 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,920 that, which which is interesting. 336 00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:02,440 Again, you could just throw that into the setting because the 337 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,440 setting on its own is incredibly interesting, But you don't have 338 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,200 to if you're playing wolf's heads, but you can honestly just 339 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,280 have a whole thing. We're just like, we're not 340 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,960 playing wolf's head. We're actually being the elves 341 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,640 in the woods or we're actually, you know, like working on 342 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,880 everything you could, but I would play it. 343 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:18,200 I would, I would play what's here. 344 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,560 I I like this kind of like Black Ops. 345 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,400 I would. Absolutely play what's here. 346 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,480 I really want to play this. Yeah, it's, it's cool. 347 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,120 So playing the game that says that these rules are yours. 348 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,120 This is the part I meant, where we're going to have our first 349 00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:35,400 kind of like, let's talk about this a bit. 350 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,080 So the core rules will be familiar to anyone that played 351 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:43,160 the TSR era D&D or any retro clones and assumes that you have 352 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:45,920 at least a basic familiarity with those styles of games and 353 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,720 role-playing games in general. Whether you call them OSR, 354 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:52,400 whether you call that like anything BX, anything that can 355 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:57,240 use the original couple editions of DND as its lineage, old 356 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:03,120 school based games, right? It expects there to be for you 357 00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:04,280 to have an understanding of that. 358 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:09,040 And the name is written in such a way I I believe I I'm stolen 359 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:11,360 this lingo from from Aaron King if I remember correctly. 360 00:20:11,360 --> 00:20:13,400 But. There's one O 1 games, there's 361 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,600 2O one games and 31 is in like school, right? 362 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,240 Like retro classes and then more advanced classes. 363 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,880 This is not a one O 1. This is not. 364 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,880 Definitely not. There's basically not a rule set 365 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,200 in this. It literally says, yeah, it 366 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,800 says. It assumes. 367 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,680 It literally says. It assumes that you have a 368 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:36,360 familiarity with BX and then you're only given the things you 369 00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:39,360 need that are a little bit different in here to build on 370 00:20:39,360 --> 00:20:44,800 what you know about BX, right? It says it offers a alternative 371 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,440 campaign style and even if the rules contain guidance on how to 372 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,960 play Wolf Old, it's not the other true way to play it. 373 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,560 You can keep or make whatever you want. 374 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:58,360 Basically it says bring the rules to the table on the 375 00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:01,840 website. It actually says if you go to 376 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:06,120 the actual shop page for it, there's a section here that says 377 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,800 it's designed to be broadly compatible and played with BXOSC 378 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,040 and all other clones, and it's not a retro clone. 379 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:15,760 You bring your own rules. You don't need yet another 380 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,280 booklet explaining how to roll the hit save or find a secret 381 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:22,840 door. I here's the thing I like that 382 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,600 I've said over and over again. I, I, I personally think a game 383 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:28,760 design for everybody is a game design for nobody. 384 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,080 I really like games that are hyper focused either on its 385 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:37,800 intent or on or and I and I love games that are like, hey, this 386 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,200 ain't a beginner game. This and it's not going to be 387 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,000 your first game. You know, you're not going to 388 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:47,000 find some weird esoteric, borderline FKR LARP game that's 389 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,640 going to have like a what is a role-playing game section. 390 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,000 Like it's not that and I'm so fine with that. 391 00:21:53,120 --> 00:21:55,920 Not every game is an intro game and not every game is for 392 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:57,800 everybody, and that's totally fine. 393 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:00,040 Every piece of media is like that. 394 00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,440 You don't hop into a music genre and immediately go to the 395 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:07,040 weirdest, freakiest, deepest, darkest versions of that music, 396 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,440 right? There are bands in every genre 397 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,160 that kind of get you into it, that are kind of like starters 398 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,120 that are a little bit closer to mainstream that push you in 399 00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:17,400 those directions. And and that same thing works 400 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,520 with tabletop role-playing games. 401 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,080 There are games designed to get you into the game. 402 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,240 Things like Mouse Twitter, which are fantastic games, but are 403 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,280 definitely one O 1 games for people that have never played 404 00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:27,800 before. They can easily pick that up. 405 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:32,040 This not only is not that it says straight off the bat, it's 406 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,040 not that, but it also says in a very nice way it says, Which 407 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,000 isn't to say Wolfwald is in any way complex, expert, advanced, 408 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,000 or somehow superior. It isn't. 409 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:43,600 It's just written with the expectation that you're not new 410 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,320 to the hobby. I'm so fine with that. 411 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,840 It's a waste sometime of 3 or 4 pages to write up like what is a 412 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,640 role-playing game? What is role-playing? 413 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:58,240 This is the duty play right? For games that clearly newer 414 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,200 players aren't going to play. I personally think that's fine 415 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,720 because it's not written any type of like vindictive like 416 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,040 elitist way. Like this isn't for you, It's 417 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,080 just like this is this is a just a more advanced game. 418 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,080 Like if you've played a bunch of BX you'll get it and if you 419 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,200 haven't you won't. What are your thoughts? 420 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,600 Yeah, I mean, this is earlier I was like, this is a game that's 421 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,760 definitely like for me because I'm so familiar. 422 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,120 Like I read this and I was like, this is amazing. 423 00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:26,360 Like I'd be down to play this immediately. 424 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:30,720 But yeah, I think I would be shocked if anyone found this as 425 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,760 their first game. And I would be even more shocked 426 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,440 if they tried to run it as their first game. 427 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:35,800 It's that's definitely not who this is for. 428 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,400 And you know, I like, like you just said, like we often say, 429 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:45,160 like I like when a game is made for, for someone, you know, 430 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,200 like, and, and I just happen to really like this one because I'm 431 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,320 the person it was made for. Yeah, I mean, you're obsessed 432 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,960 with the world spot on the coast, and I feel like this very 433 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,560 adjacent. Yeah, and I'm, I'm slowly 434 00:23:55,560 --> 00:24:00,120 building an OSE campaign right now and you know, I, I dig this 435 00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:01,920 shit. Actually there's OSD rules for 436 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,680 this, but. Which which is dope. 437 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:06,040 There's a whole scene we'll get to at the end. 438 00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,080 I will say so the counterpoint to that though, because even 439 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:13,960 though I I fuck with this, I fuck with the decision to do 440 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:15,360 this. I'm a big fan. 441 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,560 I don't think someone could pick this up and just play because 442 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:18,800 there are literally there aren't rules. 443 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,280 There is no explanation of like how to roll the hit like there 444 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,720 it like it never even says in this game anywhere ever. 445 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:27,080 D20 roll over. You know what I mean? 446 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,320 It. Explains magic as AD 20 roll 447 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,760 under, but it it literally does not tell you how to swing a 448 00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:36,040 sword like anywhere in this, which is fine. 449 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,240 Again, it it tells you right off it's BX, you go, OK, D20 roll 450 00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:43,800 over, right, right. So you couldn't pick this up and 451 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,440 play it as your first game. But I think someone who really 452 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,160 wanted to play this, I think it would be a good idea to be like, 453 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,960 oh, wait, So what? So let me go read some BX then 454 00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:55,840 like and there's BXRPG or like any fucking retro clone, like 455 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,480 you just go get, you know, OD and D or or mole Bay or whatever 456 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:01,240 you want to read and then hop into this. 457 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,680 But I will say the counter argument the devil's had to get 458 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,600 to this is that that does create a small barrier to play, right? 459 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,280 Like so that person that does really want to play this but 460 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,640 hasn't played a game yet is going to have to go do their 461 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:13,800 research before they can go play this. 462 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,440 So there is a small barrier there, which again is is the 463 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:20,120 point. But but this whole section here 464 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:26,400 where it talks about that like it that it's not for beginners 465 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,120 basically like it expects some level of understanding of how to 466 00:25:30,120 --> 00:25:31,440 play. It's 6 lines. 467 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,360 And in those six lines, I also think you could have written 468 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,280 like this assumes a basic understanding of BX. 469 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:43,440 And if you don't have that, that means D20 rollover for this like 470 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,280 this is stats is like I think you could easily do in six lines 471 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,880 like extremely basic rundown of BX and someone could hop in to 472 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,640 do that, I think. It would probably end up being 473 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,400 more than six lines, but not by like a wild amount. 474 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,880 You know, I do think you could put a brief thing here, but you 475 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,160 know, I mean, I'm always interested in that. 476 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,760 Like Watt has talked about this before the the the intersection 477 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,360 and I don't know if it was on the show, if we were just 478 00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:10,120 chatting, but the intersection of like, like art and the 479 00:26:10,120 --> 00:26:14,560 product, you know, like as a product that you want to get in 480 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,040 the hands of as many people as possible in a very like 481 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,440 capitalistic way. Like yes, this is a barrier, but 482 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:27,520 as like a like an art piece game, you know that also other 483 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,120 weird intersection. Like I get it, you know, Yeah, I 484 00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:34,600 know I'm I'm a fan. I think there are definitely 485 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,440 people this won't be for, and maybe that will hurt how many 486 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,400 people end up playing this game, but this game is not made for 487 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,280 those people unless they get deeper in any way. 488 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,200 And that's, and that's the entire point. 489 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,600 I think I, I love this. I think it's the absolute 490 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,840 correct choice to just be like, hey, this isn't a beginner game. 491 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:57,560 Once you learn some BX come back and and just the idea that like 492 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,560 it's just written with an expectation, you know what 493 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,560 you're talking about, which saves me 30 pages of writing a 494 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:03,840 fucking rule. So that's already been written 495 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,840 1000 times, you know, but it's and it's lost pages too. 496 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,480 I mean, they're right up there with like games, omnivorous and, 497 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,440 and a couple others that are more of like, like kind of like 498 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,720 an art house publisher. You know, they do what they do 499 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:17,600 what they, yeah, they do what they want to fucking do the way 500 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,200 they want to fucking do it, with much less of a worry about the 501 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,440 capitalist aspect of it, and are successful because of how well 502 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,720 they do that thing, not successful because they're 503 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,200 specifically trying to, like, maximize market profits. 504 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,640 Trying to pander to the lowest common denominator like. 505 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,360 No, they're, they wanted to make a thing and they fucking make a 506 00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:37,880 thing and I love the fuck out of that. 507 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:40,920 I'm a big fan of this, so yeah, good call. 508 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,640 I really like it. So moving forward, Wolfwold has 509 00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,720 three levels, which I really like. 510 00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:50,160 There is the basically Wolf's heads, the heroes, and then the 511 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:52,680 Wolf Lords. But there is obviously some Old 512 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,080 English for it. Are we going to butcher the 513 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,080 whole way? Wolfa, Chiffod, Hilde, Wolf and 514 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:02,000 Wolf Drayton? The the Wolf's heads are your 515 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,000 starters. It's zero to 3999 XP. 516 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:08,480 They're basically your beginner wolf's heads. 517 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,480 The people that you started with that are seen as outlaws that 518 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:13,320 would be haunted without the things protection. 519 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:19,240 The Hilda wolf or the heroes are 4000 to 31,999 SP. 520 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,680 They're still technically outlaws but have gained some 521 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:25,320 respect and renown and are seen as loyal warriors. 522 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,200 They might even attract the attention of their things 523 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,320 Elderman and could end up working for them. 524 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,200 So you could get your boss's boss checking you out, which 525 00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:39,240 would which be be cool. And then the last 1, the wolf 526 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,440 Drayton, the wolf Lord. They have earned a place of 527 00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,560 respect in society and any warrior would be glad to serve 528 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,200 with or under them. They may be of service to the 529 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:51,440 king or even put their Elderman on the throne to be king. 530 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,640 There's a a box here which I love. 531 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,440 It says the and I also love the boxes. 532 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:00,360 We'll get to talk about layout in just a second, but it says 533 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,560 that this concept is based on Dave Arneson's veteran hero 534 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,440 superhero from Blackmore, and that you can just use milestone 535 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,400 leveling if you don't want to track XP. 536 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:12,680 So once you feel like they've gained enough respect to bump up 537 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,080 to the hero, the Hilda Wolf, you can just let them do that. 538 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,920 And once you think that they've got to Wolf Lord, you can let 539 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,280 them do that. That's what I would do. 540 00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,400 I fucking have never liked tracking XP. 541 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,320 The second I learned about milestone leveling is what I've 542 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:25,880 almost always used. What about you? 543 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:31,240 I wide widely preferred milestone leveling, but I also 544 00:29:31,240 --> 00:29:36,160 do enjoy gold for XP just because I, I think that's 545 00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,520 incredibly easy to track, like, you know how much gold you got, 546 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,720 you know, but for the most part, yeah, I, I mean, I run milestone 547 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:45,280 at my own table, so. Yeah. 548 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,640 I mean, I like gold for XP, but obviously in this game we've 549 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,840 already talked about like we don't worry about gold there 550 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,440 there. Isn't that so? 551 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:54,200 Which is fine. I mean, I think this is great. 552 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,800 And yeah, I mean, I'm fine with also I think that there is like 553 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,320 an XP layout for like when you should get there, but also the 554 00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,840 openness of being like, but if they do something like really 555 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:07,800 great and maybe like XP wise are not there, but like economically 556 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,720 in stories, they are there to be like more recognized. 557 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,120 And yeah, just fucking let them do it, you know? 558 00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,680 I'd let them have it, you know? Yeah, just fucking let them have 559 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:15,400 it, guys. Come on. 560 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,680 I really like that. Speaking about gold, we have a 561 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,400 whole section here. The next big section is XP is 562 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:29,080 your experience and treasure. So there's a whole list here of 563 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,800 basically the cost or or the XP that you get for the rewards 564 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,080 that you get. So it's. 565 00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,640 Kind of an inverse of like the regular. 566 00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:42,000 Like instead of turning in gold to get experience points, 567 00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:45,320 instead you finish your quest and your Lord gifts you with 568 00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,200 things and that thing. Those things give you XP, which 569 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,960 is a super cool flip on the model. 570 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:55,560 Yeah, gained gifts, rewards are XP, right? 571 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:59,200 And you don't, you don't get XP for combat or for treasure found 572 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,040 or looted. Combat has its own reward, 573 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,240 survival, as does treasure. The more you have, the more 574 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,880 power and influence you can buy. So you can't have treasure. 575 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,080 You can have gold and coin and things like that. 576 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,680 But here's the thing, if you have a million gold, right and 577 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,280 you're a wolf head, that doesn't mean shit because everyone 578 00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,080 fucking hates you and you're some outlaw out like outcast 579 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:23,520 from society. What the fuck are you going to 580 00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:24,800 do with it? You know, because you're going 581 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:25,960 to be like, here's a million gold. 582 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,760 People are going to be like, I don't give a fuck fuck, you know 583 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:31,040 what I mean? Like, so it it there definitely 584 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,640 comes a point where your respect in society and the amount of 585 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,040 gold you have are eventually going to like get to a point 586 00:31:37,040 --> 00:31:40,040 where it's actually useful. I also like this because I 587 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:41,840 always really love the idea of like. 588 00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:46,560 I'm thinking more like Norse, but like all like northern 589 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,840 European, like old school warriors at least. 590 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,360 I'm like terrible novels that I've read always like adorned 591 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,040 with things, you know, they always have like arm bands and 592 00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,880 rings and like they'll have gold, like gold rings spun into 593 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,280 their beards. And if you play a game where you 594 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:04,600 turn in that gold for XP, your characters aren't incentivized 595 00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:07,200 to hold on those things like decorate their character, make 596 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,520 them look like accomplished ears. 597 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,680 But in this game, though, of course, I mean they might sell 598 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,320 the Bunny isn't as valuable as this in those systems. 599 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,120 So they will have these things doing and they'll go in with 600 00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:20,720 their gold rings and their arm bands and their earrings and 601 00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,680 like, look like experienced warriors. 602 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,400 Yeah, yeah. Well, not only that. 603 00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,160 Well, not only that, because a lot of that's not going to be 604 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,240 treasure that they looted from something, they're going to have 605 00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,760 that like gold arm band because their Lord gave them that 606 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:34,560 because they assassinated that fucking guy. 607 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,320 So it's not just that it's a cool gold arm band worth a bunch 608 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,880 of money. It's a reward and a symbol from 609 00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,600 your Lord of their favor, which is fucking dope as hell. 610 00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:50,280 Big fan. Big fan, yeah. 611 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:54,760 That's fine, I guess. All right, nice big full page 612 00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,600 piece of art here of a little of a pupper, a pup looking at just 613 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,680 chests of treasure in a room that's got a bunch of other 614 00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:04,520 treasure and stuff in it. I like that there's a full page 615 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,920 piece of art here. We haven't talked about the land 616 00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:08,920 a little bit before we get into the characters and stuff. 617 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,680 This will be chapter 2. Let's talk about a little bit. 618 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:16,680 I really like the spread of the of the layout. 619 00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,960 So let's go to a page that has all the things that I want to 620 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:23,280 talk about. So let's view this in A2 page 621 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:29,400 view. So on every page spread you get 622 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:34,040 on the even page, the left sided page, there is a cool page 623 00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:38,200 border in the top, like across the top and top left of the 624 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:43,160 page, which has these, you know, Anglo Saxony, you know, knots 625 00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,320 and and leaves and and things like that, which is really dope. 626 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,480 There's some rooms across the top and then at the top right of 627 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:54,480 the odd page, the opposite side it gives you, it says chapter 1, 628 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:58,640 the game of Wolf Vault. So it gives you each chapter. 629 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,880 And I think even with when you're in the chapter, it gives 630 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,480 you chapter sections. So the next chapter when we go 631 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,080 to characters, it'll say characters at the top, but then 632 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:07,600 when you hit the warriors, it'll say warriors. 633 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,360 When you get skirmishers, it'll say skirmishers. 634 00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:11,639 And it's just a great super clean layout. 635 00:34:11,639 --> 00:34:18,719 I also love they that they don't do like 2 column, you know, it's 636 00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:24,159 it's it's full page. It's got nice sized margins. 637 00:34:24,159 --> 00:34:26,560 The font's nice and big. It's super readable. 638 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,440 All of the headers are big font separated. 639 00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,199 Like it's just very spacious. Like that's one thing that I 640 00:34:32,199 --> 00:34:37,280 love about the five Zine thing. And let me rant about that for 641 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,280 just a minute. Give me like 30 seconds. 642 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:46,880 This is absolutely 1,000,000% my preferred way to get and read a 643 00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:52,520 book. I think when you have a box set 644 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:57,600 full of five themes that equal 250 pages versus one giant book 645 00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,760 that's 250 pages. First of all, it's so much 646 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:03,440 easier to parse the information. Well, it's already partially 647 00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,360 parsed for you, you know. And, and that's the thing, and, 648 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,560 and here when you one thing that we see when we read a lot of 649 00:35:10,560 --> 00:35:16,040 these bigger books is that when you have that information, even 650 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,760 if you said chapter 1 is, is the game, Chapter 2 is the 651 00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,240 characters. For some reason people be like, 652 00:35:21,240 --> 00:35:23,520 oh, but I have 250 pages. Let me take a little bit of that 653 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:25,560 info and put it over here. Let me take a little bit of info 654 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,440 and put it over here. They, they, the info kind of has 655 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,960 this like bleed into the rest of the book. 656 00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:33,680 So you like, you'll randomly go into like chapter 8 and be like, 657 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,040 oh, here's something else for your character, right? 658 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,200 I just couldn't fit it back in that other chapter or whatever. 659 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:44,680 Like that is frustrating, you know, 11 book that I think is a 660 00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,840 good example of that. We won't harp on it too much. 661 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,400 You'll know what I'm talking about is His Majesty the worm. 662 00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,680 I think that that would have been a much more successful book 663 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,280 as 5 Zenes, what it originally had been kind of laid out with 664 00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,240 on each page because so much of the information kind of got 665 00:35:58,240 --> 00:35:59,920 spread over so many different sections. 666 00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,240 And again, great game. I just think as a product that 667 00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:06,760 would have been more successful in this format and not only 668 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:12,240 that, the this format lets me go, OK, I just want to read the 669 00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:14,760 characters right now. Let me just take let me just 670 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,640 take this one Zine and sit and chill and read this and take 671 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,000 this to the table and do whatever. 672 00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:23,200 And not have to lug around a giant 250 page book and flip 673 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,080 through a bunch of pages to try to figure out what I'm talking 674 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,720 about and make sure that everything I'm 1 is only in just 675 00:36:27,720 --> 00:36:29,760 this one chapter and not in this other chapter and this other 676 00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,880 chapter too. I just think it it it focuses in 677 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:41,880 the attention. It focuses in the just what you 678 00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:44,680 need when you need it into these separate things. 679 00:36:44,680 --> 00:36:48,160 And I'm I'm this is absolutely 1,000,000%. 680 00:36:48,160 --> 00:36:50,440 My preferred thing is to break things up. 681 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,440 Like I love the fault of Arne collected book or whatever, but 682 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,680 I will always prefer it as the three or four zenes as opposed 683 00:36:56,680 --> 00:37:00,200 to the whole book together. Well, I don't have 3 or 4 zenes, 684 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,000 so I'm taking the whole book together on that one. 685 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,600 Yeah, I really enjoy this as well. 686 00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:07,000 I mean, I like have slowly been working, like I said earlier on 687 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,160 an OSC thing, my one on the run for my table. 688 00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:11,720 And so I have like the box sets which are all divided up the 689 00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:14,280 same way, you know, they're not the single tones and they're 690 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,000 spread out. And like I really only refer to 691 00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:17,880 the things that I need to when I need to. 692 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,880 And I don't know, for me personally, and this is like a 693 00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,200 completely meaningless statement, I love having that 694 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:27,600 like several different like scenes or books, they're all one 695 00:37:27,600 --> 00:37:30,160 thing spread out and like looking through things as I need 696 00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,120 it. You know, if it's a very 697 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,000 satisfying way, it's like, you know, the, the wizard that his 698 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,640 his desk with all these scrolls laid out, like referencing them. 699 00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:41,160 It's a very satisfying way to work on stuff you know I. 700 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:43,920 Just want the information when I want it and I think it's much 701 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,040 more table friendly to have it that way as well. 702 00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,000 Yeah, I completely agree. But also even just the way that 703 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,280 I personally absorb information, that's why I read in pages, not 704 00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:55,480 spreads. And I actually like it zoomed in 705 00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,720 like this because I can break down a couple paragraphs at a 706 00:37:57,720 --> 00:37:59,400 time and my brain can absorb that more. 707 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,760 When I pick up a giant 250 page book that I open up, you know, 708 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,320 into a full 2 page thing and it's 8 1/2 by, there's so much 709 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,000 information that my brain is like trying to track all of it 710 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:11,440 at once. I just want to be able to focus 711 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:13,560 in on one little thing. And the format of this, 712 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:18,560 specifically the A5 individual Zenes with nice size, font, big 713 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:21,520 margins, everything super well separated, I don't know, I felt 714 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,680 like this was such an easy book to read and absorb. 715 00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,720 I just love it. I think it's extremely 716 00:38:27,720 --> 00:38:32,200 successful in that way. I've glided through this one in 717 00:38:32,240 --> 00:38:33,880 because it's just it's easy to intake. 718 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:37,400 Yeah, yeah. OK, so that was a rant getting 719 00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:39,880 into chapter 2. So there are 5 zenes in this, 720 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,160 technically six with OSC. We are going to hit all of them, 721 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:43,800 but we're going to breathe through some of the later ones. 722 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,920 So I think 1 is going to be the one we spend the most time on. 723 00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,440 We'll spend an OK amount of time on two, and then we're going to 724 00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,120 breeze through the rest. But I do want to hit all 5 S 725 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,160 moving into Wolfwald characters, right? 726 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,840 So real quick and dirty because guess what? 727 00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:58,440 There's really aren't any rules here. 728 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,240 You have attribute scores, there are 6 stats, Guess what? 729 00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:03,680 They're exactly what the fuck you think they. 730 00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,560 Are. Yeah, Strength, Intelligence, 731 00:39:07,560 --> 00:39:09,400 Wisdom, Constitution decks, Charisma. 732 00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:14,480 That's it, right? You roll 36 to for each of them. 733 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,560 And once you have made those roles, it's pretty obvious where 734 00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:20,840 you're going to fall. Wolfwold characters do have 735 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,240 what's called a prime attribute, which is most important 736 00:39:23,240 --> 00:39:27,160 attribute for that class. So if you have a class, it'll 737 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,000 tell you in the class and we'll go over that in a little bit, 738 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,320 like which one is a prime attribute. 739 00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,520 So you can have say your say your prime attribute for your 740 00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,240 character is dex and your Dex is your lowest thing you can do 741 00:39:37,240 --> 00:39:39,640 that. You absolutely can pick one that 742 00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:43,160 is not the maximized thing. Absolutely. 743 00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:46,800 You're just not going to get the same kind of bonuses for for 744 00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,400 what you're going to do for it, which makes sense for, you know, 745 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,400 the classes is what you do. So if what you're doing is 746 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,600 supposed to be fast and you're a fast person to make sense that 747 00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:02,640 it it blends together and then and then clarify this with me. 748 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,720 So you're it says. Prime attributes give a 749 00:40:06,720 --> 00:40:08,160 character as a modifier. Depending on the prime 750 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,920 attributes score the modifier. The other modifiers are not 751 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:16,800 applied. So that that means that when I 752 00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:21,320 go to my character that's dex based, I give my modifier, you 753 00:40:21,320 --> 00:40:23,360 know, for all the things it tells me for prime attribute, 754 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,000 but that means only one score. There's a modifier list 755 00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,040 underneath there. It says three to five is -2 six 756 00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:32,080 to eight is -1 nine to 12 is nil. 13 to 15 is +16 to 18 is 757 00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:34,200 +2. So the only score that gets a 758 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,760 modifier is your prime attribute, and that's it. 759 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:40,040 That is how I read that as well. I like that, I'm a fan. 760 00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:43,080 You only having to track 1 modifiers that have 6 modifiers 761 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,400 is so nice. Yeah, I, yeah, I completely 762 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:50,880 agree. I mean, yeah, I mean, I am not 763 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,880 always the biggest fan of like derived modifiers from stats, 764 00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,400 even though I just said I'm playing an OSE thing and I play 765 00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,920 games like that. So it is nice to like really 766 00:40:59,920 --> 00:41:01,840 boil it down to like, here's the important one. 767 00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,000 And then as we go through, it's going to be like, here's where 768 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:08,080 you apply it for each character is a very clean and easy. 769 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:10,640 I mean, if you had the right group, you can pick this up and 770 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:12,280 play it very quickly, you know? Yeah. 771 00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,160 Well, and not only that too, the modifier list is for those that 772 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,280 might have only played 5. E is a much more, is a wider, 773 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,960 smaller thing, right? So it goes from three to five is 774 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:29,800 a -, 2 and 1618 is a + 2, which in D&D it go, it goes to like in 775 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:33,520 5, E goes to -3 and +3. And I don't even know if it goes 776 00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:35,600 all the way down to three, doesn't it stop like after 8? 777 00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:37,280 It just like stops doing a thing? 778 00:41:38,240 --> 00:41:41,680 I don't fucking know anymore. I mean if you if you have a. 20 779 00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:45,600 in a stat and 5E it's a + 5. It's a + 5, yeah, every every 780 00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,240 two gives you plus one, right? As opposed to this one where 781 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,760 it's much more like every three gives you plus one and 9:00 to 782 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,880 12:00 is 0. So I like that it's a smaller 783 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,920 modifier. It's less of AI mean you know 5E 784 00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,040 is a power game for a reason. Yeah, I mean, you're not. 785 00:41:59,080 --> 00:42:01,360 This isn't medieval superheroes so. 786 00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,160 Right, Yeah, even it's it's medieval Suicide Squad. 787 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,600 We've talked about this. So next section is hit points. 788 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,520 So hit points are an abstract measure of harm from combat, 789 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:14,120 disease, etcetera. They're determined by hit dice. 790 00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,600 For those familiar with BX and what hit dice are. 791 00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,040 But hit dice are, if you know 5, you know what hit dice are too. 792 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:22,440 But it you, you simply roll the number of hit dice for your 793 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:25,040 class and level to determine your HP. 794 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:28,040 And defeat doesn't automatically mean death. 795 00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,120 It depends on the situation and the foe. 796 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,000 So if it's intelligent foe, the GM might be like, well, you're 797 00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,240 captured instead. So hitting zero isn't 798 00:42:35,240 --> 00:42:41,160 necessarily dead, right? It means bad stuff, potentially 799 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,320 fatal, the GM decides and everything like that. 800 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:48,360 Yeah, I thought it was cool. I mean, this is like, I don't 801 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:52,640 want to say it's like a more narratively driven game. 802 00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:54,480 That's not the term I'm looking for. 803 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:58,040 But the context of the situations you get sent in, like 804 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:02,000 obviously this game is and we'll get into it is built for like a 805 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:05,240 a campaign play of this, like Wolf's head group. 806 00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,400 And so it does make a lot more sense for instead of like 0 807 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,760 being instant death like in a lot of old school games, it is 808 00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:15,240 for you to have these situations that like narratively might 809 00:43:15,240 --> 00:43:17,680 change, like the context, the situation changes what would 810 00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,800 make sense. And I think that's baked into 811 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:23,880 the rules and said out loud and Savage being like something left 812 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,560 up to the GM for like, yeah, Zero is dead no matter what, 813 00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:27,960 buddy. That's what the rules say. 814 00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:32,480 Fuck you. Yeah, fuck you buddy. 815 00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,120 I lost my phone. It's in here somewhere. 816 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,240 I'll put it in a second. No, I just did a find my phone 817 00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:40,040 beep beep. Oh I don't know, somehow it 818 00:43:40,040 --> 00:43:42,040 landed on the floor over here. Must have thrown it. 819 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:42,520 Stop. Throwing. 820 00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:49,320 Stuff all right. That's what I figured so anyway, 821 00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:54,560 Next up Gildor magic power. So this explains the power 822 00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:55,560 table. It's interesting. 823 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:57,760 I will say when we get to the magic section that this table is 824 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,440 here instead of in the other one. 825 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:04,120 But it I mean I don't mind it because if you got some magic, 826 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:05,320 you would have seen this already. 827 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,800 So and I think a lot of the book does that where like it doesn't 828 00:44:08,240 --> 00:44:11,440 necessarily re explain like it gives you the rule later, but it 829 00:44:11,440 --> 00:44:13,960 doesn't give you the kind of breakdown that's written here. 830 00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,880 So what I mean by that, for those listening, it's Gildor. 831 00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:20,840 I'll call it that. With my terrible Gelder. 832 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,320 We're going to say Gelder. OK, yeah, that makes much more 833 00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:24,840 sense. The Gelder is a measure of magic 834 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:26,800 power and skill. It's the sum of the castor's 835 00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,200 level plus their prime attribute. 836 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:32,440 And this level applies to a number of things like saves and 837 00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:33,560 and resisting and things like this. 838 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:39,440 So what it says here is the the Dorg Fate Weaver is level plus 839 00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:44,000 Wisdom modifier. The elf scene spell singers is 840 00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:49,360 level plus Charisma modifier, the erd erd word erd word 841 00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:54,600 shining ones is level plus wisdom, and then the rattling 842 00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:59,720 witches is level plus int. So you got dwarves and humans 843 00:44:59,720 --> 00:45:03,960 using wisdom, you got elves using charisma, and you got 844 00:45:05,720 --> 00:45:08,000 barbarian kind of people. Yeah. 845 00:45:09,240 --> 00:45:13,800 The other people human. The others, yeah, yeah, using 846 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,400 Ant. So 2 Wisdom, 2 Charisma and an 847 00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,680 Ant. It's interesting and it makes 848 00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:20,080 sense. I I think Charisma is great for 849 00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:20,920 elf. We'll get into that more in 850 00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:22,360 magic. Most of their stuff is through 851 00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:23,960 singing. So I think Charisma is a great 852 00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:29,600 is a great application for that. And then we talked about, yeah, 853 00:45:30,240 --> 00:45:31,560 there's a very circumstance for that. 854 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:32,640 Well, there's a whole book on magic. 855 00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:33,920 We're not going to get too deep into that. 856 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:40,960 And then there are four Kindred. We can cruise through those a 857 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,640 little bit. Basically, they're all for our 858 00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,200 humans. Some are just more magical, 859 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:50,600 insular, or savage than others. The what? 860 00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,840 How would you say this? The arid word there are the Urd 861 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:55,600 or the Urd or. Sorry, I was looking up. 862 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,520 There's a there's a character in here that I'm pretty sure makes 863 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,400 a TH sound that we've been reading through. 864 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:02,080 And I was right. It does make a TH sound. 865 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:04,640 It's like looks like the little almost like AD will cross 866 00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:08,640 through the top part of the D It's it's wreathling or rathling 867 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,640 or something like that. That's a TH. 868 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:18,000 So it's earth word Erathrod. Erathrod the humans, the regular 869 00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:22,080 ass fucking humans. They rule the land of Wolfall 870 00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,680 and call themselves a quote UN quote men and they call all 871 00:46:25,680 --> 00:46:34,440 other 3 El pod foreigners. So big shock that the men call 872 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:36,800 everyone that's not a man a foreigner. 873 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:39,960 It's like. Within that, the outlanders 874 00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:44,200 right are also like humans, correct? 875 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,360 So they're also. Everyone is human. 876 00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,880 Everyone is human, but yes, they're closer to humans, but 877 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,880 they're like they they live more in like the Moors and stuff. 878 00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,720 We'll get we'll, we'll get over. Let's talk about it and again 879 00:46:55,720 --> 00:46:58,040 what I like about this the whole way through is it gives you the 880 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,800 Anglo-Saxon name, but then it also gives you a name that's 881 00:47:01,240 --> 00:47:02,600 easier and you can use if you want. 882 00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:06,680 So first up is the elves, right? So elves are wild and savage 883 00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,720 forest folk deep in ancient Woodlands. 884 00:47:08,720 --> 00:47:11,760 They are slight and short. They are head shorter than a 885 00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:14,200 men. They are Raven black hair, fine 886 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:19,720 angular beard features and bright Gray eyes and nut brown 887 00:47:19,720 --> 00:47:22,760 skin. They shun things crafted by men. 888 00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:27,040 They dress in animal skins. It is it is taboo for them to 889 00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,920 use anything of metal. So they use weapons of 890 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,360 stonewood, Flint, antler, things like that. 891 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,120 Their long bows are stronger than men's long bows. 892 00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:42,280 And their their main kind of thing is that they bond with 893 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,040 ageless tree spirits. Right. 894 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,760 But if you're APC, you are what's called, I want to say a, 895 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:54,720 a, a fag. The phage, the fae or the doomed 896 00:47:54,720 --> 00:47:57,560 is what it's called. Your tree spirit died. 897 00:47:58,360 --> 00:47:59,480 Yeah. Yeah. 898 00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,280 So you are doomed to die a mortal death. 899 00:48:02,720 --> 00:48:06,520 And you are not necessarily. You're not an outcast from the 900 00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:12,000 elves, but your grief and sorrow is so deep that you kind of 901 00:48:12,440 --> 00:48:15,320 drive yourself away from the tribe. 902 00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:20,200 Yeah, which is sad. Sad emo elf self exiles. 903 00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:22,560 Yeah, I, I like that. I like that. 904 00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:24,400 There's an oh, you're a true spirit died peace. 905 00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:29,000 You know, a fan of that. The Next up is the dwarves or 906 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:31,600 the dwarves. Dwarves. 907 00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:36,320 There is a, there is a page here of the, of a dwarf man, dwarf 908 00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,280 woman in like the centipede down the middle. 909 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:45,920 Again, everyone is human, right? But these are just a clan that 910 00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,520 are closer to dwarves, so they are mountain clams. 911 00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:49,880 They are a head shorter than men. 912 00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:51,560 They're broad, stout, and muscular. 913 00:48:51,720 --> 00:48:54,560 They're pale skinned with jet black hair and eyes, and they 914 00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:59,720 favor long forked beards. Little is known save the wealth 915 00:48:59,720 --> 00:49:03,000 of their minds and the brilliance of their metal craft. 916 00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:07,760 One man is allowed to set foot in the clan mountains, which is 917 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,680 how they conduct their trade with the Men. 918 00:49:10,440 --> 00:49:16,000 And many men, many men, they the tribes fight and die for the 919 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:20,040 hills bordering the clan mountains and the rich trade 920 00:49:20,040 --> 00:49:23,240 that the land controls. So people will literally fight 921 00:49:23,240 --> 00:49:26,360 wars to be close to the mountains so they can be the one 922 00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:27,560 that gets to trade with the dwarfs. 923 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:31,760 Which is cool, but the PCs? I do like this part. 924 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,080 I was going to say I do like this part the the PCs for this 925 00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,800 group. You're you're disgraced, but 926 00:49:37,800 --> 00:49:41,640 like you'll never tell a man why what you did to disgrace 927 00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:45,760 yourself. Yeah, yeah, exactly that. 928 00:49:45,760 --> 00:49:49,400 And then the one thing that is known is that to return home a 929 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:53,640 certain death usually by an unwar like shameful means like 930 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,680 strangulation. So if you haven't guessed now 931 00:49:57,040 --> 00:50:00,200 for the PCs or don't forget your wolf said your outcasts for all 932 00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:03,200 four kindred. It's giving you what the kindred 933 00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:07,280 are like and then what the PCs are like because what, what is 934 00:50:07,280 --> 00:50:10,000 an outcast for each of these kindred, which is great. 935 00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:12,280 I love it. There is a thing, There is a 936 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,520 thing when we get to the OSC book that I think is great. 937 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:15,800 That is weird. That's not in this book. 938 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:20,440 I don't know if we should talk about it at the end. 939 00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:21,960 Maybe we'll talk about the end of the kindred section. 940 00:50:23,280 --> 00:50:28,280 Next up is the ertorod, the, the men of Earth, the quote UN 941 00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:32,480 quote, the man. So these are tall and rangy with 942 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,440 Ruddy complexions, bright grayer blue eyes, straw colored hair, 943 00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:40,240 both men and women flavoring, favoring plates, like plates in 944 00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:43,280 their hair, not like dishes. You know they're proud of 945 00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,040 warlike people, fearless, cunning, wise in both rule and 946 00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,160 counsel. That's what they fucking tell 947 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:49,480 people. But actually they're 948 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:53,760 treacherous, brutal, ruthlessly greedy, and they grasp for 949 00:50:53,760 --> 00:50:56,320 power. That's about fucking right to 950 00:50:56,320 --> 00:51:00,520 me. They claim descent from the gods 951 00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,640 so they can boast that they rule the earth. 952 00:51:03,720 --> 00:51:11,720 But they fucking don't, right? They're just like we are 953 00:51:11,720 --> 00:51:13,240 descended from the gods, so it's ours. 954 00:51:13,240 --> 00:51:15,760 And the rest of you are foreigners and our land. 955 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:22,480 Come on, come on. There are five peoples within 956 00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:27,160 the the men of Earth. They are the Gits, the Juton, 957 00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,200 the Sizons, the Angles and the Frisco. 958 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:35,000 And the PCs are, Wolf said. Like you're, that's just your, 959 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,720 you are, that is the primary quote UN quote primary society, 960 00:51:37,720 --> 00:51:39,040 right? So you are wolf heads within the 961 00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:40,440 society. So thanes and all that kind of 962 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,280 stuff are, are, are men of Earth, right? 963 00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:47,160 And then you get to the wraithlings, the outlanders, 964 00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:51,760 right? So this is yeah, of all of the 965 00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,520 foreigners, quote UN quote. These are especially despised. 966 00:51:54,720 --> 00:51:58,800 They're tall and wiry, with green eyes and coppery red or 967 00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:06,120 jet black hair. I believe it is race links 968 00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:07,640 though by the way. I just, I mean that's. 969 00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,400 Like as we're going through, I'm actually scrolling down and 970 00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:12,080 double checking out the pronunciations. 971 00:52:12,200 --> 00:52:13,680 Yeah. I mean, that's good. 972 00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,880 So especially so. They lack in craft and art. 973 00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:19,800 Whatever they lack in craft and art, they make up for and 974 00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:23,400 bestial fear, fierceness and ignoble treachery. 975 00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:26,800 They inhabit wild lands, the hills, Moors and marshes 976 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:33,440 bordering the good manly farm lands, and the PCs would be 977 00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:41,960 considered well there to more tornadoes. 978 00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,720 They're blood feeders right? They escape from the homeland 979 00:52:44,720 --> 00:52:47,560 until they can gain enough power to return and take revenge on 980 00:52:47,560 --> 00:52:50,480 their enemies, reclaim their honor, or simply return without 981 00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:52,400 fear of reprisal for their crimes. 982 00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:56,360 So basically you get the the the manly men that are descended 983 00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:59,040 from gods and therefore a claim right to rule everything and 984 00:52:59,040 --> 00:53:02,960 call everyone else fucking foreigners, even though I'm sure 985 00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:04,720 people were on that land before them. 986 00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,760 And then you've got elves, dwarves, and what amounts to 987 00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:14,240 these like kind of Outlander, like quote, UN quote, savages, 988 00:53:14,240 --> 00:53:18,520 kind of like the well, listen. Man, all I had to say is if God 989 00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,800 tells you that you this piece of land belongs to you, you have 990 00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:24,200 the right to commit whatever war crimes you want to. 991 00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:27,640 So I mean. Clearly, right? 992 00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:32,600 I mean, that's the way the world has worked so far, OK. 993 00:53:32,600 --> 00:53:34,680 Or has been allowed to by those in power. 994 00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:39,680 Let's say that the wolf world classes recursion through the 995 00:53:39,680 --> 00:53:40,640 book. We're about halfway through the 996 00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,520 first book because, man, we're going to get to a lot of stuff. 997 00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,920 We're making great time. I personally think we are. 998 00:53:46,920 --> 00:53:50,680 I think we're, we're chilling. So there's three basically 999 00:53:51,040 --> 00:53:53,120 there's three archetypes in the classes. 1000 00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:57,000 You got warrior, Skirmishers, or Wizards, and in each of the 1001 00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,960 kindred you have three of those. So there are 12 total classes. 1002 00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,400 So we're going to chunk through a huge section of this book 1003 00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,240 because we're only going to talk about one of those, but there 1004 00:54:05,240 --> 00:54:08,480 are 12 for each. I'll list them, but there are a 1005 00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,440 couple other things that each class gets. 1006 00:54:10,720 --> 00:54:12,560 Every class gets the criticals and fumbles. 1007 00:54:13,560 --> 00:54:17,360 So on a Nat 20 or a Nat 1, you get a crit success or crit fail 1008 00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:20,400 and it doesn't. Modifiers don't matter and 1009 00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:24,640 Wizards might flip or roll under spells, so for a lot of the 1010 00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,640 saves and stuff, Wizards you're you're you're casting or saving 1011 00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:30,840 by rolling under instead. And if you get a Nat 20 or not 1012 00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:32,680 one, it doesn't matter what your modifiers are. 1013 00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:36,160 You fail or succeed. There's also a heroic effort. 1014 00:54:36,160 --> 00:54:38,000 This is one anything could have been worded a little 1015 00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:42,840 differently. Now a feat or of arms or skills 1016 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:44,840 that automatically succeeds once per adventure. 1017 00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,840 You can try heroic feats again, but they're subject to regular 1018 00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:49,000 role. So I'm going to actually read it 1019 00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,560 a little bit and we can talk about how like it kind of is a 1020 00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,080 little bit weird. So it says a heroic feat. 1021 00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,800 A heroic effort represents a feat of arms or special skill 1022 00:54:56,800 --> 00:55:00,520 that members of a word class can succeed can succeed once per 1023 00:55:00,520 --> 00:55:02,160 adventure. So auto succeed right? 1024 00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,040 Note that this does not mean that they can only attempt the 1025 00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:10,120 heroic effort once per adventure, or that only each 1026 00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,600 class associated with a particular skill or feat can 1027 00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:14,640 attempt it. But these other attempts will be 1028 00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:17,440 in doubt and subject to whatever role or check the rough redeems 1029 00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:21,040 necessary to succeed. The heroic effort will always 1030 00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:24,280 succeed without a role. So first of all, heroic effort 1031 00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:26,400 is capitalized in one place, it's not capitalized in another. 1032 00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,680 And basically it says like you can do it once auto succeeding 1033 00:55:30,440 --> 00:55:33,280 and you can try it as many times as you want, but like roll for 1034 00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:37,280 it after that. That's fine, I get it. 1035 00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:40,800 I feel like the wording is maybe just like a little bit confusing 1036 00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:44,760 because it's like 8 lines to say that you know? 1037 00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:47,000 Yeah, it's not as smooth as it could be. 1038 00:55:47,600 --> 00:55:50,800 Yeah. It's fine, but I will say I had 1039 00:55:50,800 --> 00:55:53,040 to read it like I had to read it two or three times to be like, 1040 00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:57,680 OK, no, this is what it's saying, you know, so the 1041 00:55:57,680 --> 00:56:03,200 classes. Yeah, there are classes. 1042 00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:05,840 Yeah. So I will say right off the bat, 1043 00:56:05,840 --> 00:56:07,760 there are no character sheets that I was able to find. 1044 00:56:07,760 --> 00:56:09,040 Were you able to find a character sheet? 1045 00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:12,280 I did not see when I was going through this, but I did not look 1046 00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:16,240 for a source online so. I well there should be a primary 1047 00:56:16,240 --> 00:56:19,080 source. I think that not not having a 1048 00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:24,480 character sheet is a huge mess, partially because you can parse 1049 00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,600 a lot of information from character sheets that to clarify 1050 00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:29,120 some rules stuff, you know what I mean? 1051 00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:31,400 Like I don't see why you wouldn't. 1052 00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:33,720 When we get to the magic section, there are some things 1053 00:56:33,720 --> 00:56:35,840 that basically equate to caster character sheets. 1054 00:56:35,840 --> 00:56:37,360 So I don't understand why there aren't any here. 1055 00:56:38,480 --> 00:56:44,200 But the breakdown of what a class looks like then, then 1056 00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:47,960 we'll we'll pick one to go over. You can pick which whichever 1 1057 00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:49,440 you want here. But basically the way a 1058 00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:53,360 character sheet goes over is there's Lord at the top in a in 1059 00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,600 a Gray box. And then beneath that, there is 1060 00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:01,760 an explanation of the class. Beneath that is the stats. 1061 00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:06,720 So level HD attack, save AC and initiative attacks. 1062 00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,480 Right beneath that you get your criticals, your fumbles and your 1063 00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,720 heroic effort. The heroic effort that you get 1064 00:57:11,720 --> 00:57:14,040 per class, right. So that's saying that this one's 1065 00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,280 called true strike. You can do true strike as many 1066 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:20,480 times as you want, but once per adventure, you just auto succeed 1067 00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:22,400 at it, which makes sense. And like that totally makes 1068 00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:26,640 sense again. And then for every single page, 1069 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:30,680 let's see if it actually it should do this two page view. 1070 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:32,280 Yeah, so I'll two page view this. 1071 00:57:32,560 --> 00:57:36,240 You get that on one page. On the opposite page, you get a 1072 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:39,880 huge piece of art for that. And then underneath that piece 1073 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:41,760 of art, you get your starting equipment. 1074 00:57:42,720 --> 00:57:45,080 Great fucking spread for characters I love. 1075 00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:49,880 I also love any game lets me open the book and in one spreads 1076 00:57:49,960 --> 00:57:52,560 the all the information for a thing that I'm looking at like 1077 00:57:52,560 --> 00:57:54,840 characters. Yeah, they're great. 1078 00:57:55,640 --> 00:58:00,480 So the 12 characters. Under Warriors, you get an elf 1079 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:04,720 wood guard, you get a dwarf shield bearer, you get Men of 1080 00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,960 Earth shield Maiden. And then you get the Rathling 1081 00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:10,680 Battle Strong. Under Skirmishers you have an 1082 00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:16,000 elf shooter, a dwarf Death dealer, a Man of Earth spear 1083 00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,760 terror, and a Rathling Bowman. And under Wizards you get elf 1084 00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:23,920 spell singer, dwarf, Fate Weaver, Men of Earth, Shining 1085 00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:29,480 One, and then a Rathling Wicca or a Rathling Witch. 1086 00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:34,400 So which which one do you want to look at? 1087 00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:37,360 We'll go through one. I don't know how to really. 1088 00:58:37,360 --> 00:58:41,560 I mean, I don't, I don't know. I mean. 1089 00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:43,720 They're all the first ones, Yeah, the first one's a good 1090 00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:44,840 one. I think it's a good breakdown. 1091 00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:46,560 The Warriors are kind of a good mix. 1092 00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:49,360 I I agree, let's you do one of the warriors you pick, don't 1093 00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:50,960 maybe pick, I don't know one of them. 1094 00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:55,680 OK, Oh, we should go over we should go over the the dwarf 1095 00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:56,480 that. Prune. 1096 00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,520 Fate Weaver, you know. Oh, I was definitely which? 1097 00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,520 Which one do you think that I would absolutely pick if I was 1098 00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:06,600 picking it for me? Oh, I don't know. 1099 00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:08,480 OK wait wait wait wait wait wait wait wait. 1100 00:59:08,520 --> 00:59:11,040 Of the 12 class. Oh fuck abso fucking lutely. 1101 00:59:11,240 --> 00:59:12,880 Who? If you had to pick one of the 12 1102 00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:14,040 classes, which one are you starting with? 1103 00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,880 Either that one or the the fate Weaver. 1104 00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:20,400 Weaver. Yeah, the weird. 1105 00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,960 Yeah, I would. I would rock out a shining one 1106 00:59:23,960 --> 00:59:30,080 hardcore or I would probably go with I like the dwarf Death 1107 00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:31,400 Dealer is really interesting too. 1108 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,520 But the the wolf guard is pretty straightforward. 1109 00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:36,360 So we'll run down through 1 wolf Guard and then we'll skip all 1110 00:59:36,360 --> 00:59:38,160 this. So it says before your spiritual 1111 00:59:38,160 --> 00:59:40,560 it dies. Beat before your spiritual it. 1112 00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:42,840 There you go. Before your tree spirit died, 1113 00:59:42,840 --> 00:59:45,440 you were one of the elven wood guard tasked with protecting the 1114 00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,320 great forest. Now in your sorrow and doom, you 1115 00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:49,640 roam the lands of men doing the only thing that still makes 1116 00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:51,320 sense to you, fighting and killing. 1117 00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:54,920 So the the wood guards rely on speed and finesse. 1118 00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:58,040 The prime attribute is dexterity, which means that you 1119 00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:02,320 add that to which which they apply as an attack bonus and to 1120 01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:05,920 AC. They gain a class bonus to AC. 1121 01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:09,040 And initiative, representing their special fighting style. 1122 01:00:09,040 --> 01:00:11,320 And they're so fast that they make additional attacks each 1123 01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:13,960 round. So in the stat block for it, 1124 01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:16,280 it's the level 1-2 and three L of one. 1125 01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:19,720 They have 1D6 HD. At 2 is 46, at 3 is 86. 1126 01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:25,640 The attack is plus 1 + 3 + 6. The saves are 181511 AC 1127 01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:29,240 initiative is plus 1 + 2 + 3 and the attack says 2-3 and four for 1128 01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:31,760 each level. So at Level 3 man 4 attacks is 1129 01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,520 crazy. You're fast as fuck. 1130 01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:36,960 I'm fast as fuck boy. You're fast as fuck boy. 1131 01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:38,960 So the critical is a dazzling strike. 1132 01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:43,120 On a crit you dazzle your enemy and make another attack with the 1133 01:00:43,120 --> 01:00:45,560 +3 to hit. The fumble is an impulsive 1134 01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:47,880 maneuver. If you fumble, you acted so 1135 01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:50,680 rashly you maneuvered yourself into difficulty and your 1136 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,560 opponent has advantage with a free attack, and then your 1137 01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:55,200 heroic strike is the true strike. 1138 01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:57,640 You summon up all your effort and deliver a blow so fast and 1139 01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:02,200 accurate that it bypasses armor and attack an enemy as if they 1140 01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:04,000 were unarmored. If they hit, they may choose 1141 01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:06,560 where the blow lands. The head or heart is a killing 1142 01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:08,520 blow. The Lego arms are mutilating 1143 01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,560 blows and the victim can save to resist death and mutilation. 1144 01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:15,240 That's dope. Surpass all armor and go for a 1145 01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:18,680 kill shot. Can I can I ask a question about 1146 01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:21,400 that? So is the thing that auto hits 1147 01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:23,640 right at. Least once per adventure. 1148 01:01:24,120 --> 01:01:27,800 OK, so I you would just roll damage for that and you would 1149 01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:32,600 well when it says? Ignore armor. 1150 01:01:33,200 --> 01:01:35,680 Yeah, so or so. No armor soak, no nothing. 1151 01:01:35,720 --> 01:01:40,480 Armor is your AC though, yeah, this is a, this is a BX, right? 1152 01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,440 A clone essentially, right. It's assuming that you're going 1153 01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:43,800 to use like some BX rules, right? 1154 01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:47,760 So armor isn't damaged so. Well, no. 1155 01:01:48,040 --> 01:01:51,520 Well, yeah, you're right. I know that I read last night 1156 01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:53,840 was like wait if it's an auto hit why would it matter? 1157 01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:58,200 Because if I hit you with armor is a damage soaking in this 1158 01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:03,120 style of game as far as I know. Well, so so so so here's the 1159 01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:05,080 thing. The true strike auto succeeds 1160 01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:07,080 once and then rolls every other time. 1161 01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:11,040 So. Saying the next the next time 1162 01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,280 you try to do it, you got to roll. 1163 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:17,480 Yeah, and and then when you roll, you don't have to roll to 1164 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,600 bypass the armor. You would just roll against like 1165 01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:22,520 a nine. They're unarmored, right? 1166 01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:28,560 So probably let me see. There's no reason to to 1167 01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,000 differentiate that way. Like clearly it auto hits, you 1168 01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:32,960 would go right to it and for when you need it. 1169 01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:36,720 These are the rules for. Roll for this ability you ignore 1170 01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:39,120 armor. Yeah. 1171 01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:40,920 There's just no reason, I think, to separate it that way. 1172 01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:42,160 Like it clearly, I mean, I think. 1173 01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:45,440 I think it's a little clunky with it being like, yeah, you 1174 01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:47,760 auto hit and then immediately being like, yeah, so ignore 1175 01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:49,880 armor. It's like they auto hit. 1176 01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:53,520 I think obviously when I sit down the table I would figure 1177 01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:55,440 out to do exactly what you did, but it's weird to just not put 1178 01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:57,880 like, Oh yeah, if you roll for this, use ignore armor. 1179 01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,360 Yeah, I mean, I absolutely hear what you're saying. 1180 01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:04,560 I think in the way that the rest of the book is written in the 1181 01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:06,880 context, especially with the amount of effort they put in 1182 01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:11,160 writing above it, that you only do it once, but you can try 1183 01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:14,040 again and you roll and you roll. I think there's not really a 1184 01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:16,800 reason to take the time to differentiate for when you do 1185 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,800 and when you don't because the assumption would be when you're 1186 01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:22,480 rolling, this is it. But if not, you're just auto 1187 01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:24,600 hitting and moving on. I I, I hear what you're saying, 1188 01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:25,280 though. I don't. 1189 01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,240 I think within the context of the way the rest of it's written 1190 01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:31,000 where it's only explaining what you understand, it makes sense. 1191 01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,760 But you're right, like if it if this was more of like an intro 1192 01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:35,600 book or would need a little bit more explanation. 1193 01:03:37,120 --> 01:03:39,400 But the problem is, I think if you did that for this one, you'd 1194 01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:40,920 have to do it for all 12 classes. 1195 01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:43,080 You'd have to be like if you did that, if you did that, if you 1196 01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:47,480 did that, or you could just do a little box here that says this 1197 01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,680 is for when you have to roll, not the auto success, but that 1198 01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:51,240 is literally on the page above it. 1199 01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:54,160 Not for us to scroll through the rest of the heroic abilities 1200 01:03:54,160 --> 01:03:56,200 that the warriors have, but I did try to look for another 1201 01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,640 example of this in them and I didn't really. 1202 01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:04,360 All the other ones are like, they just do the thing right or 1203 01:04:04,360 --> 01:04:08,520 like once per adventure or whatever and you can obviously 1204 01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:10,040 rolling afterwards. It's the only one where the 1205 01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:13,400 wording is just like, huh, it doesn't matter, it's not that 1206 01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:14,520 big of a deal. I'm not trying to hang up the 1207 01:04:14,520 --> 01:04:20,840 whole episode now. No, Yeah, but like, for example, 1208 01:04:20,840 --> 01:04:23,960 like, you know, heroic effort for challenge for the shield 1209 01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,640 maiden, they can challenge any photo single combat and they 1210 01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:28,440 will accept. After all, no one wants to be 1211 01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,640 someone. They must also accept any terms. 1212 01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:34,880 There's not really like a there's not even a role. 1213 01:04:34,880 --> 01:04:37,080 There's like nothing to succeed at. 1214 01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:40,440 Like, how would you succeed or not succeed at that? 1215 01:04:40,440 --> 01:04:43,000 You're right. The thing is the for that one, I 1216 01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:45,640 would just make a call on what you're going to roll again 1217 01:04:45,640 --> 01:04:50,360 afterwards to, to do so. You know, I mean, I would just 1218 01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:52,800 figure it out in the moment. But that one's just, it's the 1219 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,600 only one that Mike, you just could add the word if to just 1220 01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:56,920 this one. You really need to change 1221 01:04:56,920 --> 01:05:00,000 anything else. Well, I mean, when we go down to 1222 01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,400 the Rathling battle strong, there's this. 1223 01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,440 With one wild swing of their two handed weapon, they are able to 1224 01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:08,240 hit all nearby foes, dealing one to six damage modifiers each. 1225 01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:12,800 I guess you would auto hit every one of them and then if you you 1226 01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:16,320 would have to roll to to hit all of them after you can just 1227 01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,480 target all of them. Yeah, yeah, I hear. 1228 01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:20,720 I hear what you're saying. I definitely think that is 1229 01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:24,720 written in such a way to assume that you understand, which I'm 1230 01:05:24,720 --> 01:05:26,480 fine with. I like the idea of like writing 1231 01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:28,760 that because you're not dumb, you know? 1232 01:05:29,160 --> 01:05:30,760 But but I. Am dumb. 1233 01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:32,960 But valid point, valid point we got there. 1234 01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:35,760 So that is heroic effort. And then again, full page piece 1235 01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:36,920 of art and then starting equipment. 1236 01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:41,000 So it's written, you know, such a way where you're going to have 1237 01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:43,240 to go to the equipment page and and read what it is because it 1238 01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:53,120 says it's a hurt sex gay bulge and 186 farthings bold. 1239 01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:59,640 Yeah, bold. So anyway, so that's also. 1240 01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:03,280 It's it's SEAX. The dagger is Sax. 1241 01:06:03,960 --> 01:06:06,800 Sax OK, yeah. Oh, and they have the little 1242 01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:08,480 they have little sax in their their hands. 1243 01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:10,640 It's like a bladed little dagger thing, which is dope. 1244 01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,120 So so that's that's a whole character. 1245 01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:15,320 It's it's pretty straightforward. 1246 01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:16,960 It's pretty easy. I do wish it was a fucking 1247 01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:18,440 character sheet. I'm not gonna lie. 1248 01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:21,880 I do also get a character. Sheet I mean this. 1249 01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:25,920 I guess it's the character sheet and you can take notes on it, 1250 01:06:25,920 --> 01:06:27,240 but like that's. What I was thinking, you have a 1251 01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:29,640 little piece of paper that you write just like a blank sheet of 1252 01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:30,160 paper. You. 1253 01:06:30,160 --> 01:06:33,280 You. Would print this out and and 1254 01:06:33,280 --> 01:06:35,480 flip it over and write on the back though your equipment and 1255 01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:37,040 stuff like that. But like I am shocked that 1256 01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:39,160 there's not even just a basic character sheet like Swipers. 1257 01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:41,760 You know, Swipers was like super straightforward, mostly places 1258 01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:43,640 to write notes. I'm shocked that there's not 1259 01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:45,480 just like a nice branded Wolf Ward character sheet. 1260 01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:50,200 Anyway, so that is the classes. There are 12 of them. 1261 01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:54,000 That is what 1 looks like. We are going to jump way down. 1262 01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,200 There's only like 2-3 sections left in this book and then we'll 1263 01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:01,080 breeze through the rest of them. So we're going to go all the way 1264 01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:03,840 down to Wolfwald gear, which will be a quick run through. 1265 01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:10,600 So Wolfwald gear. So we start with wealth and 1266 01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:12,440 money. So basically it says land is the 1267 01:07:12,440 --> 01:07:16,320 greatest measure of wealth. There's a silver standard called 1268 01:07:16,320 --> 01:07:19,640 the sulfur opponent, which is like the silver # usually in the 1269 01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:22,840 form of an ingot worth in a modern terms about $7000. 1270 01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:26,120 So one ingot is for $7000. It's a the core basis of all, 1271 01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:28,640 you know, everything there is gold and stuff like that, but 1272 01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:31,520 it's all based on a silver standard. 1273 01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:33,560 I love silver standards. I fucking hate gold standards. 1274 01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:38,440 Four types of smaller coinage. There are shillings, silver 1275 01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:43,080 pennies, farthings, and then there's like half pennies and 1276 01:07:43,080 --> 01:07:45,920 stuff like that. It's what it sounds like. 1277 01:07:46,160 --> 01:07:50,680 Yeah, there are. And there's a whole little 1278 01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:54,320 breakdown of that and it breaks it down on the the page how much 1279 01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:57,840 each is worth. So 1 LB is 50 shillings is 250 1280 01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:02,680 pennies is 1000. But like farthings, yeah. 1281 01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:05,600 So resources and mundane equipment. 1282 01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:08,800 So there is no focus on resource management in this game. 1283 01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:11,040 Claps. Claps in the trot. 1284 01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:14,400 Yeah, it says that. Not in the way that dungeon 1285 01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:16,040 delves and wilderness campaigns might have. 1286 01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:18,760 This doesn't. These are more like military 1287 01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:21,359 missions. Gear, food and lodging are 1288 01:08:21,359 --> 01:08:24,760 provided by your Lord, so you don't need to really worry about 1289 01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:26,359 that stuff. And we've already talked about 1290 01:08:26,359 --> 01:08:32,319 the fact that loot can be a thing, but it's not too big and 1291 01:08:32,319 --> 01:08:34,120 that the rewards you get for completing the mission are more 1292 01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:36,680 important. It's kind of an. 1293 01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:40,560 Award stay prayed up y'all. Yeah, yeah, you know, do. 1294 01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:43,120 You know I'm quoting when I say that. 1295 01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:48,080 Yeah, stay prayed up. Yeah, Mark Wahlberg. 1296 01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:53,760 Oh, Marky, Mark the technological. 1297 01:08:53,760 --> 01:08:56,560 Level. Right, the technological level 1298 01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:58,960 in Wolfwald is equivalent to Northern European before the 1299 01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:02,520 Roman conquest. Buildings are wooden, single 1300 01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:04,680 story and usually a thatched or Pete roofs. 1301 01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:08,439 Bridges are wooden, and other than a battering ram, there are 1302 01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:10,680 no siege engines. Glass is rare, and cups and 1303 01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:11,960 crockery are made of player wood. 1304 01:09:12,359 --> 01:09:15,080 There are no stone buildings, concrete or advanced engineering 1305 01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:18,720 to speak of, but the people excel in metallurgy, the forging 1306 01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:22,359 of iron and steel weapons and tools, and the more refined 1307 01:09:22,359 --> 01:09:25,279 skills of the artisans that make exquisite jewelry. 1308 01:09:25,760 --> 01:09:28,720 That's kind of what things are. So getting into weapons, there's 1309 01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:30,560 a whole list. There's weapons for each 1310 01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:32,279 kindred. So this first one here is the 1311 01:09:32,279 --> 01:09:36,800 weapons of men. You get the there's a chart here 1312 01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:38,160 says mainly weapon damage and value. 1313 01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:44,200 And it gives you the old English name for the knife, CNI FE1D3. 1314 01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:46,840 It's worth 2 pennies. But below that, I do really like 1315 01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:49,800 that they gave you all the old English because again, they say 1316 01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:51,319 we give you the vocab if you want to use it. 1317 01:09:51,880 --> 01:09:54,920 But beneath that it gives a breakdown of what every weapon 1318 01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:57,600 is. So the knife is an ordinary 1319 01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:00,040 everyday tool most likely to be used for eating, hunting and 1320 01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:02,400 whittling than combat. So it's it's a pocket knife, 1321 01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:04,480 right? And what we talked about before 1322 01:10:04,480 --> 01:10:06,840 the, would you call it the sacks? 1323 01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:09,560 Sacks, yeah. A large dagger designed for 1324 01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:10,800 combat. Their distinctive shape is 1325 01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:15,960 easily recognizable, possessing a single sharp edge and a slight 1326 01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:17,960 point. The hilt is often made of horn 1327 01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:22,080 or wood or combination. So breakdown of the damage and 1328 01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:26,040 damage goes from it looks like D3 all the way up to I believe 1329 01:10:26,040 --> 01:10:30,120 there might be some D twelves in here and D3 obviously D 6 1/2. 1330 01:10:30,440 --> 01:10:33,480 We'll we'll, we'll see. So there's a breakdown for every 1331 01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:35,960 weapon. Oh, we'll see. 1332 01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:40,680 There are some in here like the the Gebrid axe, which I assume 1333 01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:44,920 is like a great, it's a hand axe that do have variations for 1334 01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:47,400 criticals. So with the crit, the axe 1335 01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:49,760 cleaves the foe skulls. And then it says like if you 1336 01:10:49,760 --> 01:10:51,400 have a helmet, this happens. If you don't have a helmet, this 1337 01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:52,240 happen. If you have a crit, that 1338 01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:53,560 happens. So it's really cool. 1339 01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:57,640 I really like that the weapons you carry are dictating some of 1340 01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:00,640 your abilities that you can do with them as opposed to me 1341 01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:03,720 personally. It's that's so much cleaner than 1342 01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:06,400 having to like, pick and like anytime you have a weapon, you 1343 01:11:06,400 --> 01:11:08,040 do that. No, just this one weapon gets 1344 01:11:08,040 --> 01:11:09,560 this one extra thing, and I love that. 1345 01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:14,720 Yeah, it's, you know, adding on to your not like, not 1346 01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:16,480 necessarily class through equipment because there are 1347 01:11:16,480 --> 01:11:18,520 classes in this, although the classes are incredibly stripped 1348 01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:19,520 down. They're very lightweight. 1349 01:11:19,520 --> 01:11:23,640 But this is definitely adding those extra bits on and they 1350 01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:25,360 feel a little bit easier to manage because they're like 1351 01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:27,600 attached to a weapon and not like a million abilities my 1352 01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:30,280 character has. Exactly. 1353 01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:34,000 I don't know. Why I like it, I prefer that. 1354 01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:37,360 I think Cobalt Press when I was actually still doing 5 E stuff, 1355 01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:41,280 they had did a really good job of adding like weapon feats in 1356 01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:45,040 that were per weapon not per like feet you had to eventually 1357 01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:46,360 get and I really, really like that. 1358 01:11:46,360 --> 01:11:49,200 I thought that was a much better way of handling it, range 1359 01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:53,960 weapons for people's. I did say off to the side here 1360 01:11:53,960 --> 01:11:55,920 on my notes that they changed the order of the kindred for 1361 01:11:55,920 --> 01:11:57,480 some reason. I think in most of the time it's 1362 01:11:57,480 --> 01:12:01,800 been like elf, dwarf, man Rathling and and this one they 1363 01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:05,960 went like man and then I think he goes to like dwarf or 1364 01:12:05,960 --> 01:12:07,320 whatever. Not that it fucking matters. 1365 01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:09,720 You're reading it's a man Rathling, elf dwarf. 1366 01:12:10,400 --> 01:12:12,120 Not that it fucking matters. You're going to read it all kind 1367 01:12:12,120 --> 01:12:14,520 of an order anyway, but it's interesting that they like flip 1368 01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:17,560 the order a couple of times. I assume maybe by like like 1369 01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:22,520 page, you know, like what fit on the pages weapons for Rathlings 1370 01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:26,640 that also only go up to D10. You get range weapons for 1371 01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:32,320 wraithlings, weapons for the elves still only go to D10 and 1372 01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:35,480 then range weapons which is like 1 bow and then weapons for the 1373 01:12:35,480 --> 01:12:38,360 dwarves. The men quote, UN quote, Men 1374 01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:41,800 have the biggest array of weapons and then it kind of like 1375 01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:44,560 goes down from there like the the weapons for the dwarves or 1376 01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:49,040 there's three of them and then they have like 2 range weapons 1377 01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:52,000 and that's it. But you guys call dragon eggs? 1378 01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:54,120 Yeah, the dragon eggs are pretty dope. 1379 01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:55,760 I do want to talk about the dragon eggs a little bit. 1380 01:12:55,760 --> 01:13:06,040 So for the most part they they don't go too in depth for each 1381 01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:09,680 of the ones. So I will say there are no lower 1382 01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:13,000 bits kind of for the for the for the men and the wraithlings. 1383 01:13:13,480 --> 01:13:17,800 But in the elf and the dwarf section, there are little kind 1384 01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:20,240 of like lower bit at the top. There's like a little paragraph. 1385 01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:23,360 It says we already talked about the the elves of strong taboos 1386 01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:27,200 against metal and the dwarves. It talks about kind of the first 1387 01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:30,320 kind of part where it really digs into their worship of 1388 01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:32,800 Dragons, which we'll get into a little bit more in the Kinch, 1389 01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:35,640 the worship Dragons. They use draconic imagery on 1390 01:13:35,640 --> 01:13:37,240 everything. So all the weapons are like 1391 01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:40,720 that, and all the weapons are incredibly balanced and sharp, 1392 01:13:41,120 --> 01:13:43,320 and non dwarves find them difficult to use. 1393 01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:46,640 So you get a -, 1 to hit, but the sharpness of their blades 1394 01:13:46,800 --> 01:13:50,600 grants a + 2 to hit. So if you're a dwarf you get a 1395 01:13:50,600 --> 01:13:53,440 +2. If you're a anybody else you get 1396 01:13:53,440 --> 01:13:55,840 a + 1 basically because you get a -, 1 before you get a + 2. 1397 01:13:56,920 --> 01:14:00,240 So that's pretty cool. The dragon eggs that Hunter had 1398 01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:04,360 talked about, which are interesting, are the ultimate 1399 01:14:04,360 --> 01:14:09,840 Dwarg death dealer weapon right? They're basically 6 pack of eggs 1400 01:14:09,840 --> 01:14:14,160 that death dealers carry with them that are filled with 1401 01:14:14,160 --> 01:14:17,120 alchemical recipes. They're basically like Raven 1402 01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:22,000 eggs that have been hollowed out and filled with with chemicals. 1403 01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:24,600 Yeah, well, bomb. Yeah, well, bombs. 1404 01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:29,280 So there are strong taboos about how they're used and even how 1405 01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:32,400 they look. So they're painted and filled 1406 01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:34,400 with specific things and then sealed. 1407 01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:38,240 So they carry six of them. There are three Gray ones, 2 1408 01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:40,800 green ones and a black one. The Gray ones when shattered 1409 01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:44,280 create a thick Gray smoke, so especially a smoke bomb obscures 1410 01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:46,160 vision. The green one shatters, not 1411 01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:50,200 loose, a cloud of noxious gas that blinds and chokes everybody 1412 01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:53,080 in a 30 foot cloud. And then the black 1 releases 1413 01:14:53,080 --> 01:14:59,920 black spores in a cloud and it's full of toxins and anyone call 1414 01:14:59,920 --> 01:15:02,920 it within a 10 foot radius must save or die. 1415 01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:07,040 Pretty good, pretty good. I think the. 1416 01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:09,240 Death Dealer starts with three eggs. 1417 01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:12,240 You can carry a Max of 6. But they start with three. 1418 01:15:12,600 --> 01:15:15,200 Yeah, and I think the taboos surround them are like they have 1419 01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:17,360 to follow the Geneva Convention, you know? 1420 01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:19,800 Yeah, no. Schools mean everybody does, 1421 01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:21,160 right? Everyone does. 1422 01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:24,560 Everyone does that. And I love that white phosphorus 1423 01:15:24,680 --> 01:15:31,040 egg, you know. So then we get to armor and 1424 01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:32,880 stuff and we're basically done with book one. 1425 01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:35,640 So the interesting thing about armor, what's listed here with 1426 01:15:35,640 --> 01:15:39,000 no explanation, which again is the way the entire book is 1427 01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:45,600 written, there is a list of the from unarmored all the way up to 1428 01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:47,800 what basically is like full plate armor. 1429 01:15:48,200 --> 01:15:51,000 And there is in parentheses. There's outside of parentheses 1430 01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:54,240 or brackets and inside brackets, and the out brackets are 1431 01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:56,880 ascending armor and the in brackets are descending armor. 1432 01:15:56,880 --> 01:16:03,200 So it goes 9 up to +7. And then the unarmored Feco kind 1433 01:16:03,200 --> 01:16:07,320 of descending goes from 10 to -7 so it goes 10 and then -1 -, 2 1434 01:16:07,320 --> 01:16:09,800 -, 1 -, 1 -, 2 - 7. And then there's a breakdown of 1435 01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:13,080 what all of the yeah, there's a breakdown about all the armor 1436 01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:15,600 are. And then we get to, and maybe 1437 01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:17,800 I'm a fucking dumbass. I did pull out my BX stuff. 1438 01:16:17,800 --> 01:16:19,080 I did pull out some old editions. 1439 01:16:19,080 --> 01:16:21,400 I did Google armor to make sure I'm not a fucking idiot. 1440 01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:23,760 I think these are backwards. So we get the helmets and 1441 01:16:23,760 --> 01:16:25,280 Shields. So helmets are listed and 1442 01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:29,160 Shields are listed, but the outside bracket number is now a 1443 01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:32,680 minus and the inside bracket number is now a plus, which 1444 01:16:32,680 --> 01:16:35,720 doesn't make sense to me because if I add a helmet, right, I'm 1445 01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:40,400 using a sending armor outside. So it's like say that I have the 1446 01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:44,200 base, like deer height is plus one and then I add a helmet. 1447 01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:46,960 So then I -, 1 off my AC. That doesn't make sense. 1448 01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:49,720 I should plus one to my AC for ascending again, right? 1449 01:16:51,400 --> 01:16:53,920 Right. And then with the shield, same 1450 01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:55,800 thing. They they, they kind of flipped 1451 01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:59,560 the outer brackets are minus, but with faco it's descending. 1452 01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:01,680 So the more I have, the lower the number should be. 1453 01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:03,960 So in the brackets it's now plus one. 1454 01:17:03,960 --> 01:17:07,200 So you'd be minus -1 but now plus one. 1455 01:17:07,200 --> 01:17:09,920 So you'd basically be unarmored if you had deer hide plus a 1456 01:17:09,920 --> 01:17:11,720 helmet. So I think, I think this is 1457 01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:13,200 wrong. I think they flipped this 1458 01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:14,320 incorrectly. I. 1459 01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:17,480 Think you're right? If if it's following the same 1460 01:17:17,480 --> 01:17:19,920 path as what's directly above it, which is my assumption that 1461 01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:22,800 they should be. So I think that the AC of 1462 01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:26,640 helmets and Shields is flipped. So if you're reading this, I 1463 01:17:26,640 --> 01:17:29,400 would suggest, unless I'm completely wrong and so I'm 1464 01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:33,160 going to go fuck myself. I believe that the bracket 1465 01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:35,440 what's in and outside of the bracket for the AC of helmets 1466 01:17:35,440 --> 01:17:37,440 and Shields is incorrectly flipped. 1467 01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:41,360 But you have them, you have Shields and you have helmets and 1468 01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:42,760 stuff like that. So I really like that. 1469 01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:46,120 So the Max kind of armor I guess you could possibly get is the 1470 01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:51,160 full suit of armor, right? And then you could throw on the 1471 01:17:51,440 --> 01:17:53,880 war helm. So you're at +7. 1472 01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:57,040 I'm talking about Ace ending +7 and then +2. 1473 01:17:57,240 --> 01:18:03,720 So you're at +9 armor and then throw on the the Dwerger's 1474 01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:09,000 dragon scale shield at a + 4. So you're at a nice solid plus 1475 01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:11,120 13 armor. You probably can't move. 1476 01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:13,880 You're basically you're. Still heavy? 1477 01:18:13,880 --> 01:18:17,640 You're stuck in one place. Yeah, you're, yeah, you're a 1478 01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:21,120 space Marine without the the nuclear fusion battery pack. 1479 01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:23,960 So you're stuck. But listen, you're a turtle. 1480 01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:26,640 You're you're turtling. So that's great. 1481 01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:29,360 And then that's that's pretty much the game for book 1. 1482 01:18:29,720 --> 01:18:32,800 You get Appendix A is an entire list of Anglo-Saxon names, which 1483 01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:35,120 is cool. Appendix B is the Old English 1484 01:18:35,120 --> 01:18:36,680 pronunciation, as we talked about before. 1485 01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:42,120 And then and then Appendix C is a table for old school 1486 01:18:42,120 --> 01:18:46,640 essentials and some other games. So you get whole class tables 1487 01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:49,800 for level HD. They go saves AC initiative 1488 01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:55,440 attacks for all 12 classes, which is dope. 1489 01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:57,880 And then some empty pages there is. 1490 01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:01,080 And then so let's just jump over to Old school Z now. 1491 01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:02,640 We'll we'll knock that off of our list. 1492 01:19:03,200 --> 01:19:07,520 So yeah, because. There's like nothing I really 1493 01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:09,000 want to talk about. There's only one thing I want to 1494 01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:10,640 talk because it's basically everything we just talked about 1495 01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:14,480 but for OSC except so this is APDF. 1496 01:19:14,480 --> 01:19:16,640 This is APDF only. It says in the box that you'll 1497 01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:20,240 get everything in the box but then APDF version of the game 1498 01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:23,120 for OSC, which is cool. It also it only comes in a 1499 01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:24,960 spreads version. There's no page versions. 1500 01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:26,480 Yeah, I was interested about that. 1501 01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:29,320 Of everything, it's the only one that's in spreads and. 1502 01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:33,240 It's probably, I mean, it's just PDF only, maybe it's for print 1503 01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:34,720 purposes or something, I don't know. 1504 01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:40,000 But it's all exactly the same, except there's an extra appendix 1505 01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:44,320 in here that I think is amazing, and I don't understand why it's 1506 01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:47,560 not in the other book. So this one is called. 1507 01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:51,040 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, This is. 1508 01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:52,880 I'm going to zoom in. Let's zoom in. 1509 01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:55,880 OOP 400 is too much. OOP 10 is too little. 1510 01:19:56,440 --> 01:20:01,000 Let's zoom to 150. So. 1511 01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:07,680 There's a whole section here on why are you a wolf's head, 1512 01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:14,360 right? And it literally breaks down for 1513 01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:16,520 elves. There is the death of the tree 1514 01:20:17,200 --> 01:20:19,720 for the dwarves. It's truth or love. 1515 01:20:19,720 --> 01:20:21,960 It literally tells you the two ways that you're outcast. 1516 01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:24,840 In the first book it says no one's ever going to know, but 1517 01:20:24,840 --> 01:20:27,920 then it breaks down the two ways here. 1518 01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:37,320 For the for the skin, like for the for the men, for the 1519 01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:41,320 necromancer dudes. It give me one second. 1520 01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:47,240 Skin lag. There we go. 1521 01:20:47,640 --> 01:20:50,360 Skin lag. Yeah, for the skin laga it says 1522 01:20:50,360 --> 01:20:54,240 it talks about the path to necromancy, but then it also has 1523 01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:58,000 a whole breakdown of like 1D6 for the men of the earth for 1524 01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:00,760 like what you could have done and then for the wraithlings 1525 01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:02,360 it's a 1D6 for what you could have done. 1526 01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:06,560 It's a great fucking spread that literally is basically roll 1527 01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:10,320 tables or explanations for why you are a wolf's head, but it is 1528 01:21:10,320 --> 01:21:14,760 only in the OSE scene. My only thought, my only 1529 01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:20,080 possible explanation for this is maybe they wrote this after they 1530 01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:24,000 had already gone to print with the other stuff because my God, 1531 01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:27,160 this should be in the first one. And there's been room for him. 1532 01:21:27,640 --> 01:21:31,280 Yeah, there's even room for it because if you go to, I guess 1533 01:21:31,280 --> 01:21:33,560 the last page is empty. You could. 1534 01:21:33,560 --> 01:21:36,720 No. Yeah, the last two pages in in 1535 01:21:36,720 --> 01:21:39,120 the book are blank. And that's for anyone that 1536 01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:40,760 doesn't understand why there's blank pages in books. 1537 01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:43,120 Books have to be written in in multiples of four. 1538 01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:46,480 Oh, no, there's not. It's just the back cover. 1539 01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:52,960 But honestly throw that shit in there for the next one or make 1540 01:21:52,960 --> 01:21:54,760 it. I mean I guess if you buy any 1541 01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:56,080 part of it, it's readily available. 1542 01:21:56,320 --> 01:22:00,120 But that that is a huge thing that if you do that you could 1543 01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:02,880 easily miss be like I don't really need the OSC version yet, 1544 01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:07,240 but please go read Appendix CI. Think it is an amazing resource 1545 01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:11,000 of information for character creation that that really 1546 01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:14,120 explains why you are. It's literally called like why 1547 01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:17,800 are you a wolf set or whatever. So like I'm in the wrong one. 1548 01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:21,040 Appendix C of the OSC version. Why are you a wolf set? 1549 01:22:21,560 --> 01:22:25,760 Fantastic, really great read it, it's cool. 1550 01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:29,360 I do like the elf one. It's just like, you know, the 1551 01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:31,560 other elves, they're just not comfortable being around a 1552 01:22:31,560 --> 01:22:34,640 treeless motherfucker, you know? Yeah, yeah. 1553 01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:38,560 And you're just so you're such a sad boy that that's just it. 1554 01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:40,400 So we're going to run through the. 1555 01:22:40,640 --> 01:22:43,920 I think we're making good time. We're at like like an hour and 1556 01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:46,960 20 minutes and we have four more books to cover, but we're going 1557 01:22:46,960 --> 01:22:48,040 to cruise to them pretty quickly. 1558 01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:51,040 We can talk about how much we want to actually go over magic. 1559 01:22:51,040 --> 01:22:53,040 I can run through this super fast if you want. 1560 01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:55,520 So this is a cover for book 2 magic. 1561 01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:58,400 It's got a different cover. It's got like I believe like a 1562 01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:01,320 cauldron in the front and then there's a skull and the head of 1563 01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:04,880 a blade and then a really interesting design on the top of 1564 01:23:04,880 --> 01:23:07,040 it. It says volume two O 5 booklets. 1565 01:23:07,320 --> 01:23:11,120 It says magic. So do you want me to cruise your 1566 01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:12,000 magic? Do you want to cruise your 1567 01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:13,360 magic? Is there a partial magic that 1568 01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:16,480 you? I mean I will say that the the 1569 01:23:16,480 --> 01:23:21,080 immediate first magic class, the Dwargus. 1570 01:23:22,160 --> 01:23:23,200 Bait Weaver. OK, well then. 1571 01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:25,520 Let me let's let's. Cruise to that and we'll talk 1572 01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:27,200 about that one a little bit more and then just run through the 1573 01:23:27,200 --> 01:23:29,400 other one. So basically wolf Walt magic. 1574 01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:32,360 It says that magic is rare and dangerous, something to be 1575 01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:34,640 feared. Magic users are unwelcome in any 1576 01:23:34,640 --> 01:23:37,160 village or meat haul. They're feared by superstitious 1577 01:23:37,160 --> 01:23:39,800 peasants, mistrusted by warriors, and only the power of 1578 01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:41,160 the Lord they serve will protect them. 1579 01:23:41,640 --> 01:23:43,760 But for sorcerers, even that may not be enough. 1580 01:23:43,800 --> 01:23:45,800 Players who choose to play casters and wolf all need to be 1581 01:23:45,800 --> 01:23:49,200 cautious around MPCS, and it can expect a cold response from 1582 01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:51,520 most. It talked about the guilder 1583 01:23:51,640 --> 01:23:56,080 which gives like a quick like one or two lines of again it's 1584 01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:59,960 equal to level plus primary stat but it doesn't have that table 1585 01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:03,000 like was in character one. I honestly think you could just 1586 01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:07,160 flip those two because I don't. I mean, yeah, no, here's the 1587 01:24:07,160 --> 01:24:08,280 thing. You already saw it in the other 1588 01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:10,040 one. This is explaining magic, not 1589 01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:13,280 how to make a character. So I think this is this is cool. 1590 01:24:13,560 --> 01:24:16,880 It tells you it's it's and it gives you like, why you're going 1591 01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:18,640 to use it. It applies to all saves against 1592 01:24:18,640 --> 01:24:20,160 magic and some other circumstances. 1593 01:24:21,480 --> 01:24:25,240 And then we get to the the rune fate weaving. 1594 01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:31,760 So in order for this to work, the dwarves contemplate the true 1595 01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:35,320 meaning of runes and then use the understanding of those runes 1596 01:24:35,640 --> 01:24:39,320 to change fate and shape reality. 1597 01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:44,160 And they, the dwarves know that men who use rooms stole them 1598 01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:46,680 from the dwarves, but dwarves kind of don't really care 1599 01:24:46,680 --> 01:24:48,240 because they stole them from Dragons. 1600 01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:50,640 So that's, that's kind of what it is. 1601 01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:56,480 There are 24 rooms and three sets called eights, three sets 1602 01:24:56,480 --> 01:24:59,560 of eight called eights, their families. 1603 01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:04,560 There's first, second and third eight, and then the level of the 1604 01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:08,520 word webers. The the base of the Fate Weavers 1605 01:25:08,840 --> 01:25:12,240 dictates the maximum number of rooms they can may they can use 1606 01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:14,200 in combination and also contributes to their room 1607 01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:18,960 casting role. And once a Fate Weaver has used 1608 01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:21,200 a room, they cannot use it again until they've used all their 1609 01:25:21,200 --> 01:25:25,640 other rooms. And then each room has a sphere 1610 01:25:25,640 --> 01:25:27,800 of influence. And some rooms can be reversed 1611 01:25:27,800 --> 01:25:31,840 or cast in different ways. So before I get into like how it 1612 01:25:31,840 --> 01:25:34,560 all works and stuff like what drew you specifically to the the 1613 01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:36,920 the rune magic? Oh, I love the open 1614 01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:41,240 interpretation of it. Like the runes all have like a 1615 01:25:41,480 --> 01:25:44,800 kind of group of things that they symbolize and you can hit 1616 01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:48,720 the reverse with them too. So it could be opposite or I 1617 01:25:48,800 --> 01:25:52,960 think there's one of the things not quite reversed, but I just 1618 01:25:52,960 --> 01:25:55,680 like the ability for your magic to be so open format. 1619 01:25:55,680 --> 01:25:59,400 You know, you can like, yeah, I'm using the Thor, I think. 1620 01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:02,360 I think the example is in one of these somewhere is the thorn 1621 01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:05,760 room to room to put a wall of thorns to block the enemies. 1622 01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:08,400 But just being like, you have a word. 1623 01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:11,640 How do you like use that word? Yeah, yeah. 1624 01:26:11,800 --> 01:26:13,400 Big fan of that. You know what this reminds me 1625 01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:15,120 of? Like completely. 1626 01:26:15,440 --> 01:26:19,520 This is Acid Major's magic. Yeah, I mean, that's why, that's 1627 01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:21,560 probably why I like it, because you've a, you have a word that 1628 01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:25,120 describes the baseline. How do you use that that word as 1629 01:26:25,480 --> 01:26:27,200 like to expand the pond, you know? 1630 01:26:27,360 --> 01:26:29,760 Yeah, and and then you can use the inverse, which acid mate 1631 01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:32,320 just does doesn't have specifically like 12 symbols and 1632 01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:35,240 you can like and have like the push and pull or whatever you 1633 01:26:35,240 --> 01:26:39,800 know there are. 8 opposing yeah there. 1634 01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:42,960 You go, yeah, yeah, this when? As soon as I saw the reverse 1635 01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:44,960 one, I was like, oh, this sounds so much like acid mages. 1636 01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:47,720 Yeah, you're right. The openness of it is cool. 1637 01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:53,760 As you grow, you can add more runes together to create like a 1638 01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:56,120 whole new different effect. And it's really open to 1639 01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:59,600 interpretation, very open format and you're very imaginative. 1640 01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:04,080 And if you feel boxed in when you play a caster that you're 1641 01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:07,440 like, I have fucking fireball and that's the spell, This is 1642 01:27:07,440 --> 01:27:08,560 not that. And I love that. 1643 01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:11,160 Yeah, it's really great. Well, like you said, it said 1644 01:27:11,320 --> 01:27:14,520 level dictates maximum number of runes that can be used in 1645 01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:17,760 combination. So by Level 3 you can actually 1646 01:27:17,760 --> 01:27:21,800 put 3 runes together to put like, you know, whichever 3 and 1647 01:27:21,800 --> 01:27:26,280 interpret the three together to create a thing which is so 1648 01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:28,840 interesting, so interesting. Like this is definitely for 1649 01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:31,840 people that like that very abstract magic. 1650 01:27:32,720 --> 01:27:35,360 It's cool. So you have to do a room casting 1651 01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:39,400 role, it's 1D20 roll under with wisdom plus any penalties. 1652 01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:44,200 It works or it fails. That's it. 3 levels are decided 1653 01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:49,600 by the GM. The levels of difficulty for how 1654 01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:51,960 they're going to use it, that's determined by the GM, but the 1655 01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:53,360 player decides how they're going to be used. 1656 01:27:54,360 --> 01:28:02,640 Saving throws are a thing. And then there is a whole the 1657 01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:05,240 three uses of the rooms. There are three different ways 1658 01:28:05,240 --> 01:28:07,360 they can be used. There's casting where you 1659 01:28:07,360 --> 01:28:10,480 contemplate a room for an hour, any less takes a penalty. 1660 01:28:10,480 --> 01:28:12,520 But then you can just do the thing that you want with the 1661 01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:16,680 room. There is a warding and binding 1662 01:28:17,000 --> 01:28:20,800 where you actually you place a rune on something, inscribe it 1663 01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:24,760 on something, it takes 4 hours. And a casting role you make is 1664 01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:26,400 when it's activated. So that's kind of what you 1665 01:28:26,400 --> 01:28:29,240 talked about, the thorn bridge. You can attack a thorn bridge on 1666 01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:31,360 something, when they run over it, it'll pop up and that's when 1667 01:28:31,360 --> 01:28:33,640 you make your casting role to determine whether it works or 1668 01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:35,160 not. And then the last thing is 1669 01:28:35,160 --> 01:28:39,000 inscription, and that is permanent takes. 1670 01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:41,080 It's permanent. It takes a day to contemplate 1671 01:28:41,080 --> 01:28:44,080 and a day to perform, requires a casting role. 1672 01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:46,720 And then that rune is now permanently Forsaken. 1673 01:28:46,720 --> 01:28:50,400 It's gone from your rune list. And the only way to get it back 1674 01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:54,360 is to like permanently destroy, burn, just like absolutely get 1675 01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:56,560 rid of whatever you put it on. So if you put that description 1676 01:28:56,560 --> 01:28:59,720 on a rock, you have to crush the rock, burn the rocks, spread the 1677 01:28:59,720 --> 01:29:01,320 ashes, you know what I mean? Throw it in the river, do 1678 01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:03,800 whatever and then you'll get access to that that run back. 1679 01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:06,520 Like I said, saving throws, they're a thing. 1680 01:29:06,600 --> 01:29:09,680 They exist. And then there's a whole section 1681 01:29:09,680 --> 01:29:12,040 here on the on the runes and their meanings. 1682 01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:18,360 So there's literally breaking down all 24 runes by 8, just a 1683 01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:22,080 couple right off the top. There's cattle strength, sharp 1684 01:29:22,200 --> 01:29:27,120 mouth, Rd. torch, gift, hail, need spear. 1685 01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:28,760 So lots of really interesting stuff. 1686 01:29:28,800 --> 01:29:30,920 And then for each one, do you want to pick one room and just 1687 01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:35,360 talk about like? That's yeah. 1688 01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:39,520 Let's talk about cattle. It's an interesting one. 1689 01:29:42,000 --> 01:29:44,560 Right cattle. Feel. 1690 01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:46,200 That's the first one. So yeah. 1691 01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:51,680 So yeah. Feel cattle, it relates to 1692 01:29:51,680 --> 01:29:56,680 wealth, cattle herds, property, winning land, possessions, luck, 1693 01:29:56,720 --> 01:29:59,320 abundance, energy, protecting wealth. 1694 01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:03,000 And then the reverse on it is greed, cowardice, stupidity, 1695 01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:05,720 poverty, avarice, enmity over money. 1696 01:30:07,840 --> 01:30:12,360 So wealth, greed, ownership, like the ability to influence 1697 01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:15,400 these things all in this room. I think it's a really 1698 01:30:15,400 --> 01:30:18,400 interesting one. Yeah, and I like that. 1699 01:30:18,400 --> 01:30:21,400 So basically for those that can't see, there's a picture of 1700 01:30:21,400 --> 01:30:25,840 the actual room and then it says Feo cattle, and then it says 1701 01:30:25,840 --> 01:30:28,680 relates to everything he said in reverse Everything forever for 1702 01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:34,360 all 24, for all 24, the world building in this section just by 1703 01:30:34,360 --> 01:30:37,280 explaining what the runes like are relating to and reverse to. 1704 01:30:37,480 --> 01:30:39,480 Fantastic. Really, really love it a lot. 1705 01:30:41,880 --> 01:30:44,160 Once again, book 2 is not hyperlinked or bookmarked, so 1706 01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:45,400 we're going to do a lot of scrolling. 1707 01:30:45,400 --> 01:30:47,640 So if you don't like scrolling, that sucks for you. 1708 01:30:49,400 --> 01:30:51,840 Quick run through of the elf spell singer. 1709 01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:56,200 So basically they use chants and singing to both gain and use 1710 01:30:56,200 --> 01:31:02,640 magic. Each song takes one round or a 1711 01:31:02,640 --> 01:31:06,520 minute out of combat. The magic effect it takes effect 1712 01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:09,120 in the next round. Except glamour, which starts to 1713 01:31:09,120 --> 01:31:10,600 work as soon as the victim hears it. 1714 01:31:11,640 --> 01:31:13,640 And in order to use it, they have to be able to sing. 1715 01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:16,560 So if your tongue is cut out or you can't breathe or anything 1716 01:31:16,560 --> 01:31:18,040 like that, you can't use fucking magic, right? 1717 01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:21,960 Well, if you use a bad singer. I mean, you can still use magic, 1718 01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:23,640 people just won't like the way it sounds I guess. 1719 01:31:24,440 --> 01:31:28,560 My assumption is, well, everybody can sing, right? 1720 01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:30,800 Everyone has a. Song in their heart, right? 1721 01:31:31,560 --> 01:31:33,120 Yeah, No, everyone. Can sing. 1722 01:31:33,680 --> 01:31:36,480 You just have to get to. You just have to learn pitches 1723 01:31:36,480 --> 01:31:39,120 and all that kind of shit. And the sound that works for 1724 01:31:39,120 --> 01:31:39,920 you. Yeah. 1725 01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:43,640 Do we want to harmonize? Wait, come on. 1726 01:31:43,640 --> 01:31:46,280 Come in. OK. 1727 01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:49,000 All right. Anyway, so elf spell singing. 1728 01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:49,400 OK. Yeah. 1729 01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:51,480 So there's three forms. They're shape shifting. 1730 01:31:52,040 --> 01:31:56,040 Or you have to actually coax animals to you, have them teach 1731 01:31:56,040 --> 01:31:58,720 you their secrets and then you can turn into them and you can 1732 01:31:58,720 --> 01:32:03,120 shape shift for Gelder times for Gelder hours and you select a 1733 01:32:03,120 --> 01:32:05,800 Gelder bonus number of animals forms per level. 1734 01:32:06,640 --> 01:32:09,560 The next is glamour. It's used to manipulate people. 1735 01:32:09,840 --> 01:32:12,840 Victims can save to resist, but can't attempt again for one to 1736 01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:14,760 three days if you fail to glamour somebody. 1737 01:32:14,760 --> 01:32:18,680 Or I guess if you do. And then you can glamour number 1738 01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:23,680 of people and times per level, and then the victim after your 1739 01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:30,120 glamour can try to save to remember what happened while 1740 01:32:30,120 --> 01:32:34,320 they were glamoured. The last one is the songs of the 1741 01:32:34,320 --> 01:32:36,080 forest. You're basically singing at 1742 01:32:36,080 --> 01:32:39,120 trees and the trees teach you their songs, right? 1743 01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:42,840 And at each level you learn a gelder number of songs that can 1744 01:32:42,840 --> 01:32:45,800 be sung once per day, but you don't pick them. 1745 01:32:46,040 --> 01:32:48,760 The GM rolls because the trees pick the song that they teach 1746 01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:51,640 you. It's interesting, if the GM ever 1747 01:32:51,640 --> 01:32:54,280 rolls the song twice, you can choose either have them roll 1748 01:32:54,280 --> 01:32:57,320 again, or if you already have it and they roll it again, you can 1749 01:32:57,320 --> 01:32:59,840 then sing that song twice a day if you want, which is cool. 1750 01:33:00,800 --> 01:33:04,240 Yeah. And then there's a breakdown of 1751 01:33:04,280 --> 01:33:06,320 every song. It's a, it's AD 10 list of 1752 01:33:06,320 --> 01:33:08,760 songs. So Song of Memories, Forest of 1753 01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:11,480 Fear, Cloak of Leaves, Trial of the Tree. 1754 01:33:11,800 --> 01:33:14,680 So it's a breakdown of all of those and it gives you all of 1755 01:33:14,680 --> 01:33:17,520 them in order here. So this is what you imagine. 1756 01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:19,880 The song of storm, the song of time. 1757 01:33:19,880 --> 01:33:22,920 You know, Princess Zelda's lullaby? 1758 01:33:23,960 --> 01:33:27,120 Right, Yeah, yeah. Links Awakening. 1759 01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:31,480 So the forbidden path of the skin licka. 1760 01:33:33,160 --> 01:33:36,360 This is the Necromancy of the Shining Ones. 1761 01:33:36,520 --> 01:33:39,440 It is most reviled, feared, and taboo sorcery and Wolfwold 1762 01:33:40,200 --> 01:33:44,920 players must roll 1D20 under the character's charisma to avoid an 1763 01:33:44,920 --> 01:33:47,120 overly negative reaction from NPCS. 1764 01:33:47,240 --> 01:33:52,040 So, and once they learn that you're a necromancer, you have 1765 01:33:52,040 --> 01:33:54,360 to roll for them not to freak the fuck out on you. 1766 01:33:54,360 --> 01:33:56,080 No, it's. Cool dude, don't worry the the 1767 01:33:56,080 --> 01:33:58,320 whole corpse thing, it's not even like my main thing, don't 1768 01:33:58,320 --> 01:34:02,520 worry about it. Yeah, reduce, reuse, recycle, 1769 01:34:02,520 --> 01:34:04,560 you know what I mean? Like it's, it's fine. 1770 01:34:05,040 --> 01:34:07,000 Well, they weren't. Using their corpse anymore, you 1771 01:34:07,160 --> 01:34:07,720 know? No. 1772 01:34:07,960 --> 01:34:12,920 Well, yeah, so there are three realms of power and all require 1773 01:34:12,920 --> 01:34:17,440 you to call a phantom from the underworld and trap it in your 1774 01:34:17,440 --> 01:34:21,440 body and use its power with a Calling the Dead roll. 1775 01:34:21,520 --> 01:34:24,160 Obviously this is my shit. This is so my shit. 1776 01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:28,120 It's crazy, right? I'm an edgelord trash person. 1777 01:34:28,440 --> 01:34:30,520 That is true, and that's fine by me. 1778 01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:33,400 I've been saying it for years. Yeah, I've, I've been saying it 1779 01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:34,680 for years. I don't hide it. 1780 01:34:35,360 --> 01:34:38,600 Listen, I'm stunted. So we'll go over all three of 1781 01:34:38,600 --> 01:34:42,240 those power types in a bit. But part of that there is taint 1782 01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:44,360 and corruption that comes from this as well. 1783 01:34:44,360 --> 01:34:47,200 So something that's different from the other forms of magic. 1784 01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:51,840 So anytime that you attempt to someone a phantom, whether it's 1785 01:34:51,840 --> 01:34:53,800 successful or not, you accrue a point of taint. 1786 01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:58,440 And if if you ever roll under your current taint, you gain 1787 01:34:58,440 --> 01:35:04,320 corruption, grow, grow up. And if you're. 1788 01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:09,240 If the. If the taint ever reaches 20, 1789 01:35:09,920 --> 01:35:13,160 you take 2 rolls on the table before it resets to 0 because 1790 01:35:14,440 --> 01:35:17,920 after you get corruption you were set to 0, but if you ever 1791 01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:20,040 hit 20 you do 2 and then reset it to 0. 1792 01:35:20,040 --> 01:35:24,800 So there's a crazy amount of of corruption you can get here. 1793 01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:29,320 Spectral sin use whites hand. They're basically all minuses, 1794 01:35:29,320 --> 01:35:31,840 just stats. So spectral sin use is a 1795 01:35:31,840 --> 01:35:35,360 permanent -1 to your strength. Spectral chill is a permanent -1 1796 01:35:35,360 --> 01:35:38,640 to your con and they're accumulative, so if you roll the 1797 01:35:38,640 --> 01:35:40,600 same thing multiple times you can. 1798 01:35:40,640 --> 01:35:43,280 If you get spectral stenu 3 times as -3 to strength that's 1799 01:35:43,280 --> 01:35:44,320 crazy. It's. 1800 01:35:45,240 --> 01:35:47,680 Brutal. I mean the effects you do get 1801 01:35:47,680 --> 01:35:50,800 for this one, through briefly reading through them previously, 1802 01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:54,200 I'm like, oh you guys are pretty cool stuff though. 1803 01:35:54,440 --> 01:35:56,000 Yeah, they're pretty tight. Yeah, they're tight, tight, 1804 01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:58,400 tight. There is definitely fatigued 1805 01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:02,480 though. So you do get fatigued as part 1806 01:36:02,480 --> 01:36:04,320 of your casting, and we'll go over that in a little bit. 1807 01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:07,800 So the use of the powers can cause you to be fatigued. 1808 01:36:07,800 --> 01:36:12,080 If your fatigue exceeds your current HP, you collapse and 1809 01:36:12,080 --> 01:36:16,960 lose 1 HP permanently. You can recover one fatigue per 1810 01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:21,680 turn as long as you do nothing, nothing more strenuous than 1811 01:36:21,680 --> 01:36:25,160 walking. So fatigue can come on quickly 1812 01:36:25,160 --> 01:36:28,160 and then leave quickly. But if it stacks too high, if it 1813 01:36:28,160 --> 01:36:31,640 ever gets higher than your current HP, you permanently lose 1814 01:36:31,640 --> 01:36:33,160 an HPI. Love that. 1815 01:36:33,160 --> 01:36:35,200 I don't know why it's so clean and interesting. 1816 01:36:35,520 --> 01:36:40,200 It's just like, I don't know, I, I could describe it to you in a 1817 01:36:40,200 --> 01:36:42,440 way that we have ACPR machine, but it wouldn't make sense to 1818 01:36:42,440 --> 01:36:45,800 anyone that doesn't use like the specific type of monitor that we 1819 01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:47,240 use when we're doing CPR on a person. 1820 01:36:47,560 --> 01:36:50,160 But like you basically can like build up and build up and build 1821 01:36:50,160 --> 01:36:52,040 up. And I love the idea that if you 1822 01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:54,600 ever build up enough to hit that HP, even though it like fades 1823 01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:57,160 really quickly, you just collapse and lose 1 permanent 1824 01:36:57,160 --> 01:36:58,520 and have to do it all over and over again. 1825 01:36:58,520 --> 01:37:00,600 I don't know, it's super clean and super interesting and super 1826 01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:01,680 fivy. I don't know why I love this 1827 01:37:01,680 --> 01:37:03,320 rule so much. It's really great. 1828 01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:06,120 So three types of necromancer powers. 1829 01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:11,600 You've got the call of fear, and this is when you summon a 1830 01:37:11,600 --> 01:37:14,520 hideous phantom that takes on its gas and you take on its 1831 01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:18,480 ghastly form and appear to your enemies as half rotted specter 1832 01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:21,280 that shines with dazzling eldritch light. 1833 01:37:23,160 --> 01:37:27,280 That sucks for you, I mean. I love that that you you don't 1834 01:37:27,280 --> 01:37:30,240 summon like a specter to it's that you take on the I mean, you 1835 01:37:30,240 --> 01:37:32,200 do some of specter, but you take on it's like. 1836 01:37:32,960 --> 01:37:33,160 You. Know. 1837 01:37:33,200 --> 01:37:36,400 Yeah, yeah, we're not. Going to go over fatigue for 1838 01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:38,080 every one of them. We'll we'll work for this first 1839 01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:41,400 one so it instant. The power can be used instantly 1840 01:37:41,600 --> 01:37:44,000 as long as you have a coin stained with the blood of a 1841 01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:47,360 traitor in one hand and a Rowan wand in the other. 1842 01:37:48,080 --> 01:37:52,280 The power cost 1 taint and one fatigue, plus an additional 1843 01:37:52,280 --> 01:37:54,800 point of fatigue for each round it is maintained. 1844 01:37:55,560 --> 01:37:58,680 And it can be maintained for gelder number of rounds. 1845 01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:02,640 So if your AP gets low, you automatically start with a point 1846 01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:04,920 of taint and a point of fatigue, and then for every round it 1847 01:38:04,920 --> 01:38:07,200 builds on that fatigue. So yeah. 1848 01:38:08,040 --> 01:38:10,920 And you can protect your allies by giving them an amulet made 1849 01:38:10,920 --> 01:38:12,720 from the finger bones of innocent children. 1850 01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:16,240 Very good. Yeah, Don't forget. 1851 01:38:16,280 --> 01:38:19,760 You're fucked up, don't forget. To bleed on your Rowan wand 1852 01:38:19,760 --> 01:38:21,520 sometime too. Yeah, don't forget your finger 1853 01:38:21,520 --> 01:38:24,800 bones of innocent children. Yeah, don't forget those guys. 1854 01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:28,160 I'm going to get all ghastly. I love the sometimes I feel 1855 01:38:28,160 --> 01:38:31,240 like, yeah, I love necromancy. I love proxy fighting and law 1856 01:38:31,240 --> 01:38:33,240 stuff because I love minions and stuff. 1857 01:38:33,440 --> 01:38:36,120 But so a lot of times necromancy doesn't always feel as dark as 1858 01:38:36,120 --> 01:38:37,920 it really is. This one does. 1859 01:38:38,440 --> 01:38:40,160 They're really like, fucking no. It's fucked up. 1860 01:38:40,680 --> 01:38:42,120 Yeah, yeah, this shit's fucked up. 1861 01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:45,560 Call the underworld. So the most potent of the three 1862 01:38:45,560 --> 01:38:48,680 powers you call an evil instruct a phantom from the underworld 1863 01:38:48,680 --> 01:38:52,440 and take on its form to use its powers to smite enemies. 1864 01:38:53,400 --> 01:38:56,800 So you actually the the phantom summoned to fight has a number 1865 01:38:56,800 --> 01:38:59,360 of HD in powers equal to Gelder with base. 1866 01:38:59,360 --> 01:39:04,880 So you you you summon it in and then are using it to fight with. 1867 01:39:04,880 --> 01:39:10,360 So it's like a force within you on the first round in to summon 1868 01:39:10,360 --> 01:39:13,640 this thing, you use a knife that is pierced the heart of an 1869 01:39:13,640 --> 01:39:16,880 adulterer. You cut yourself, dripping the 1870 01:39:16,880 --> 01:39:19,280 blood onto your Robin wand. That's what it says, OK. 1871 01:39:19,840 --> 01:39:23,840 There you go, and the next round you do your role to call the 1872 01:39:23,840 --> 01:39:25,440 dead, to take the form of the phantom. 1873 01:39:25,440 --> 01:39:28,120 So you have to do a whole round where you're bleeding yourself 1874 01:39:28,120 --> 01:39:30,600 with a knife Pierce that pierced the heart of an adulterer. 1875 01:39:31,320 --> 01:39:35,920 Yeah, and there are 8 different phantoms that you can summon 1876 01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:39,520 into yourself, Bone Shard shredder, Eldritch lightning, 1877 01:39:39,520 --> 01:39:43,640 ghostly glide, funeral pyre, skeletal skin, grave bound, 1878 01:39:43,640 --> 01:39:46,880 shining shade, and death touch. So bone Shard shredder for 1879 01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:50,840 example, it bestows the gift of deadly bone claws, granting plus 1880 01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:53,840 one to hit and one D 6 + 2 damage. 1881 01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:56,600 For each additional time this power is rolled, increase the 1882 01:39:56,600 --> 01:39:59,000 bonus to hit by 1 and damage by +2. 1883 01:39:59,720 --> 01:40:01,680 Boy, that can. That can. 1884 01:40:02,320 --> 01:40:04,040 That can get pretty beefy pretty quick. 1885 01:40:04,680 --> 01:40:08,520 But the taint and fatigue and curd is equal to the number of 1886 01:40:08,520 --> 01:40:10,800 powers of the phantom. Each phantom's powers are 1887 01:40:10,800 --> 01:40:12,560 determined by rolling 1D8 per power. 1888 01:40:12,560 --> 01:40:17,080 So like you can get fatigue and and and stuff super fast at this 1889 01:40:17,080 --> 01:40:19,080 one. And then the final super fucked 1890 01:40:19,080 --> 01:40:20,240 up one. And then there's a breakdown of 1891 01:40:20,240 --> 01:40:22,720 all eight of those. The final super fucked up one is 1892 01:40:22,720 --> 01:40:26,320 called the call of kinship. It appears that the shade of a 1893 01:40:26,320 --> 01:40:30,760 dead friend or family member of the victim and it requires the 1894 01:40:30,760 --> 01:40:34,760 skull of a murderer to be hidden where I can see the victim for a 1895 01:40:34,760 --> 01:40:38,880 day so the malign phantoms of the on the world can observe the 1896 01:40:38,880 --> 01:40:41,800 victim and take on the form of their dead relatives. 1897 01:40:44,120 --> 01:40:47,280 Isn't so unbelievably evil. Like I often play as necromancer 1898 01:40:47,280 --> 01:40:49,360 because I'm like not really that evil in practice but this one's 1899 01:40:49,360 --> 01:40:53,440 like oh this is straight up fucked up evil shit bro gear up 1900 01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:56,400 everyone hates you.

The last part of this is 1905 01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:12,080 creating orcnas. Orcnas, basically, these are if 1906 01:41:12,080 --> 01:41:16,920 once you've reached Level 3 of the necromancer powers, you can 1907 01:41:16,920 --> 01:41:20,720 create undead warriors by replacing a vital part of a 1908 01:41:20,720 --> 01:41:23,240 fresh corpse. Like the eyes are hard or 1909 01:41:23,240 --> 01:41:26,880 something with something vile like maggots or, or a nest of 1910 01:41:26,880 --> 01:41:29,440 rats or something. And then they can rise up and 1911 01:41:29,440 --> 01:41:33,880 serve you until they're slain or you or you get them to go back 1912 01:41:34,400 --> 01:41:37,120 to true death with a drop of blood spilled onto onto your 1913 01:41:37,120 --> 01:41:38,200 ruined wand. Yeah. 1914 01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:42,520 So for each one created, you lose 3 points of charisma. 1915 01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:47,400 Yeah. And you can create as many as 1916 01:41:47,400 --> 01:41:49,640 you want until your charisma is reduced to three. 1917 01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:52,400 Yeah, and only get your charisma. 1918 01:41:52,440 --> 01:41:56,480 Yeah, and only get your charisma back when you, when they, when 1919 01:41:56,480 --> 01:41:59,160 they, when they die, when you, when they're two dead, right. 1920 01:41:59,160 --> 01:42:02,840 But charisma isn't your casting. So just fucking do it. 1921 01:42:02,840 --> 01:42:05,320 But that just means that everyone can see like your your 1922 01:42:05,320 --> 01:42:07,760 roles for MPCS and shit are super low and stuff like that. 1923 01:42:08,120 --> 01:42:10,400 Was it Christmas not the casting for. 1924 01:42:11,680 --> 01:42:14,160 No, I'm pretty sure that the only charisma 1 was the spell 1925 01:42:14,160 --> 01:42:15,160 singer. You're right. 1926 01:42:15,320 --> 01:42:16,600 Yes, you're right. No, you're you're totally 1927 01:42:16,600 --> 01:42:19,600 correct. Yeah, real quick though, the 1928 01:42:19,720 --> 01:42:23,600 witchcraft, the Wicca craft. So these are the Wrathling 1929 01:42:23,600 --> 01:42:26,080 witches? Well, hold on, that's AC after 1930 01:42:26,080 --> 01:42:29,480 an I, which implies that's pronounced by chapter by church, 1931 01:42:29,480 --> 01:42:33,320 although I would say that's definitely Wicca, but her the 1932 01:42:33,320 --> 01:42:37,080 pronunciation guide AC after an I or E is ACH. 1933 01:42:37,240 --> 01:42:40,920 So, you know, whatever. Yeah, so so witch witchcraft. 1934 01:42:42,520 --> 01:42:45,920 That's what I'm thinking. Yeah, witchcraft, so rattling 1935 01:42:45,920 --> 01:42:48,280 witches, they learn the craft slowly and carefully on the 1936 01:42:48,280 --> 01:42:53,240 tutelage of tribes, Crohn's, but some of the young ones run away 1937 01:42:53,240 --> 01:42:55,560 and learn from foul spawn familiars. 1938 01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:56,520 So that's what we talked about here. 1939 01:42:57,520 --> 01:43:02,960 So there's you can learn as many. 1940 01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:05,800 So learning the craft and paying the price, there's always a 1941 01:43:05,800 --> 01:43:07,720 price for for learning these kind of crafts. 1942 01:43:09,680 --> 01:43:13,080 So you can learn as many elements as you want, but you 1943 01:43:13,080 --> 01:43:16,680 sacrifice a part of your spirit for each with permanent losses 1944 01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:21,640 attributes in HP. So each time a witch learns an 1945 01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:24,800 element of craft, including at generation, the referee rules 1946 01:43:24,800 --> 01:43:27,920 1D6 and permanently reduces the world attribute by 1. 1947 01:43:28,480 --> 01:43:32,280 So strength, wisdom, constitution, wisdom decks and 1948 01:43:32,280 --> 01:43:34,280 hit points. So it's not the six that you 1949 01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:37,360 have, it's the six listed here which list Wisdom twice. 1950 01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:40,720 Yeah. And and your HP. 1951 01:43:42,760 --> 01:43:48,320 Yeah, it definitely can be pretty brutal. 1952 01:43:49,200 --> 01:43:51,720 Yeah, absolutely. And then you get into the 1953 01:43:51,760 --> 01:43:53,760 familiars, which is how you do stuff. 1954 01:43:53,760 --> 01:43:56,640 So the familiars take on the form of small animals associated 1955 01:43:56,640 --> 01:43:59,840 with death, the knight or carrion, like crows, Ravens, 1956 01:43:59,840 --> 01:44:03,080 owls, lizards, things like that. And there are 9 elements to the 1957 01:44:03,080 --> 01:44:05,160 craft. Maybe we'll pick one, but they 1958 01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:08,680 are the 9. Herb charm, curses, the green 1959 01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:13,800 candle, scrying amulet, crafting potions, poisons, venoms and the 1960 01:44:13,800 --> 01:44:15,920 puppet and the thorn. We're actually not going to go 1961 01:44:15,920 --> 01:44:18,000 over those by the fucking book. We're going to go a little 1962 01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:21,760 faster here. The Wolfwald magic items. 1963 01:44:22,960 --> 01:44:24,880 So basically I really like this part. 1964 01:44:24,880 --> 01:44:29,560 So Paula wrote that the they're presented in the form of fairy 1965 01:44:29,560 --> 01:44:32,640 tales, folklore, and myths. And the GM's are encouraged to 1966 01:44:32,640 --> 01:44:34,920 create their own magic items with stories and histories 1967 01:44:34,920 --> 01:44:36,800 unique to their own tables and campaigns. 1968 01:44:37,160 --> 01:44:40,320 So when you go through a magic item, it literally is like a 1969 01:44:40,320 --> 01:44:46,320 multi page folklore story of why that item is and what it is. 1970 01:44:46,320 --> 01:44:50,160 And then gives you a little bit of of things like like its 1971 01:44:50,160 --> 01:44:52,280 current location, the owner, things like that. 1972 01:44:52,560 --> 01:44:57,760 Really, really, really interesting way to do magic 1973 01:44:57,760 --> 01:45:04,120 items. And then the last section is the 1974 01:45:04,760 --> 01:45:09,080 again, it would be great if this is hyperlinks I'm going to is 1975 01:45:09,080 --> 01:45:11,280 the gods and religions of Wolfwald. 1976 01:45:12,560 --> 01:45:18,400 So there is no priest class in the game, right? 1977 01:45:18,400 --> 01:45:20,320 But there are priests that exist in the world. 1978 01:45:20,320 --> 01:45:24,480 And there's this weird, IE this is another section that's 1979 01:45:24,480 --> 01:45:26,800 written in a way that like is slightly confusing to me. 1980 01:45:27,280 --> 01:45:31,440 So it says there are no clerics, blah blah. 1981 01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:36,200 In other words, there are no gods in Wolfwall the RPG, but in 1982 01:45:36,200 --> 01:45:40,040 Wolfwall the setting, not only the gods are real. 1983 01:45:40,240 --> 01:45:43,760 I think that's typo there. Not only are the gods real, but 1984 01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:48,080 everyone believes in them. The gods may not exist, but the 1985 01:45:48,080 --> 01:45:51,240 priesthood does, and the power of the wheel is real enough. 1986 01:45:52,080 --> 01:45:53,840 It contradicts itself like three times in there. 1987 01:45:54,400 --> 01:45:56,040 I'm so confused, but I'm going to be honest. 1988 01:45:56,040 --> 01:45:59,680 Actually, the moment I was reading this, I saw clerics and 1989 01:45:59,680 --> 01:46:00,920 priests. I was like, cool, I'm good on 1990 01:46:00,920 --> 01:46:01,960 this. So I actually didn't read this 1991 01:46:01,960 --> 01:46:02,840 paragraph. Yeah. 1992 01:46:03,040 --> 01:46:07,400 So this doesn't make in these two lines, I think this don't 1993 01:46:07,400 --> 01:46:10,360 make sense. So again, there, there are no 1994 01:46:10,360 --> 01:46:13,800 gods in Wolfwald the RPG, which means I assume that means that 1995 01:46:13,800 --> 01:46:15,840 you're not worshipping anybody or whatever kind of whatever. 1996 01:46:16,080 --> 01:46:20,600 But in Wolfwald the setting, not only the gods are real. 1997 01:46:20,800 --> 01:46:23,680 I again, I think I'm the typo. Not only are the gods real, so 1998 01:46:23,680 --> 01:46:27,400 they are real, but everyone believes in them. 1999 01:46:27,400 --> 01:46:32,240 And then the very next line says the gods may not exist, but the 2000 01:46:32,240 --> 01:46:35,920 priesthood does do. Are there real gods or not? 2001 01:46:38,480 --> 01:46:42,440 I have no idea. Yeah, there's some clarification 2002 01:46:42,440 --> 01:46:45,160 that needs to be done there. And the typo in that line 5 2003 01:46:45,160 --> 01:46:48,040 right there. Not only the gods are real, I 2004 01:46:48,040 --> 01:46:49,720 think it's supposed to be. Not only are they are. 2005 01:46:49,720 --> 01:46:51,000 The gods real. Yeah, Yeah. 2006 01:46:51,080 --> 01:46:54,480 Yeah, regardless, the people believe in them and they fear 2007 01:46:54,480 --> 01:46:57,080 interview of them and there's a breakdown of all of them. 2008 01:46:57,080 --> 01:47:00,960 So basically the religions of of the men, there was the oldest 2009 01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:03,600 God, which is the worship of the earth dragon, which we'll go 2010 01:47:03,600 --> 01:47:08,720 over a little bit later, and that's Earth Druka and then that 2011 01:47:09,320 --> 01:47:13,520 and that was replaced by worship of the elder gods, which are 2012 01:47:13,520 --> 01:47:17,640 like the sun. And. 2013 01:47:17,920 --> 01:47:21,080 Yeah, exactly. And then that was replaced by 2014 01:47:21,080 --> 01:47:24,440 Religion of the New Gods, which is like Woden and Frigga and 2015 01:47:24,440 --> 01:47:25,720 things like that. Things that sound a little bit 2016 01:47:25,720 --> 01:47:28,600 more Nordic, right? Because the men feel very Nordic 2017 01:47:28,600 --> 01:47:32,000 in this. I mean, Logan is the Germanic 2018 01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:34,360 for Odin, yeah. And they're tall, blonde and you 2019 01:47:34,360 --> 01:47:37,160 have plated hair. So yeah, what could it be? 2020 01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:40,120 Yeah, I'm gonna be the religion of the wraithlings. 2021 01:47:40,320 --> 01:47:43,000 It says it's tribe. The tribe, they have their own 2022 01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:44,320 little little things that they worship. 2023 01:47:44,320 --> 01:47:46,280 Sun gods, war gods, things like that. 2024 01:47:46,280 --> 01:47:49,080 Horn gods of the forest. I fuck with wraithlings so hard. 2025 01:47:49,680 --> 01:47:52,440 I'm sad that the necromancers are technically, I think part of 2026 01:47:52,520 --> 01:47:56,760 are the the casters for the men and to the Cathars for the 2027 01:47:57,080 --> 01:47:58,720 wraithlings. Because the witches are for 2028 01:47:58,760 --> 01:48:00,920 wraithlings. Yeah, yeah. 2029 01:48:01,840 --> 01:48:04,960 And then the religion of the dwarves is interesting because 2030 01:48:04,960 --> 01:48:07,000 they worship, they worship the earth dragon. 2031 01:48:07,000 --> 01:48:11,440 Earthdruck us still, right? But she is real and exists and 2032 01:48:11,440 --> 01:48:17,080 they keep her imprisoned in the mountain and torture her so that 2033 01:48:17,080 --> 01:48:21,920 she creates fire to heat their forges and farm her eggs and 2034 01:48:21,920 --> 01:48:25,400 unborn offspring to create their arms, armor and magics. 2035 01:48:26,160 --> 01:48:28,920 Oh. So they literally have, yeah 2036 01:48:28,920 --> 01:48:32,120 they have their God captured and literally steal her eggs and 2037 01:48:32,120 --> 01:48:34,960 torture her and make her breathe fire to do their bedding and 2038 01:48:34,960 --> 01:48:37,840 shit. Pretty dark. 2039 01:48:38,480 --> 01:48:41,760 Yeah, pretty dark religion of the elves their ancestor 2040 01:48:41,760 --> 01:48:43,920 worship. Each tree in the forest contains 2041 01:48:43,920 --> 01:48:47,600 the spirit of an ancestor and every living elf is joined to 2042 01:48:47,600 --> 01:48:50,000 the spirit of a tree and that's that's pretty much their shit. 2043 01:48:51,320 --> 01:48:55,760 Then there's magic tables here that really do amount to magic 2044 01:48:55,760 --> 01:48:57,440 character sheets like they fucking do. 2045 01:48:57,440 --> 01:49:00,400 So when you look at the Dornick rune fate weaving, you literally 2046 01:49:00,400 --> 01:49:03,280 can mark off like what you've learned, what you've cast, how 2047 01:49:03,280 --> 01:49:05,800 you've cast it. It's got an explanation, It's 2048 01:49:05,800 --> 01:49:09,160 got the names of all of the runes on it, and it even has a 2049 01:49:09,160 --> 01:49:12,560 space to put your rune casting like number, like the number for 2050 01:49:12,560 --> 01:49:15,240 rune casting on it. When you go to the spell singing 2051 01:49:15,240 --> 01:49:20,240 it literally has like check boxes for what shapes you have. 2052 01:49:21,240 --> 01:49:23,440 It's dope as fuck. These are casting character 2053 01:49:23,440 --> 01:49:25,080 sheets. Give me one of these for the 2054 01:49:25,080 --> 01:49:28,120 classes. It's this easy I want more fault 2055 01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:32,520 character sheets and it break and it even gives you like what 2056 01:49:32,520 --> 01:49:35,160 you can do for glamour. What songs you have checked? 2057 01:49:35,160 --> 01:49:37,440 It has like 2 little boxes in case you've learned it twice. 2058 01:49:38,080 --> 01:49:41,160 And then for the forbidden paths, it has a part to mark 2059 01:49:41,160 --> 01:49:43,160 down how much date you have, how much fatigue you have. 2060 01:49:43,720 --> 01:49:47,000 What you're calling the dead number is what corruption do you 2061 01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:49,560 have? It's they're literally character 2062 01:49:49,560 --> 01:49:52,200 sheets for casters and the Wiccas have, the witches have 2063 01:49:52,200 --> 01:49:54,560 one too. There's a whole magical index 2064 01:49:55,240 --> 01:50:00,400 which is interesting because it actually is hyperlinked but only 2065 01:50:00,400 --> 01:50:02,320 the numbers are hyperlinked. So I skipped it. 2066 01:50:02,360 --> 01:50:07,560 I skipped over it a couple of times because only the numbers, 2067 01:50:07,560 --> 01:50:09,480 not the words are. Which is fine, I'd rather have 2068 01:50:09,480 --> 01:50:13,800 some than none, but it's all the way in the back of the book. 2069 01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:15,880 But it's an index. It's not the table of contents 2070 01:50:15,880 --> 01:50:18,640 in the beginning. Please hyperlink table of. 2071 01:50:18,680 --> 01:50:20,920 If you're going to hyperlink the index, which is literally like 2072 01:50:21,280 --> 01:50:24,480 100 fucking things, why not hyperlink the seven things at 2073 01:50:24,480 --> 01:50:28,000 the front of the index that it makes no fucking sense? 2074 01:50:28,240 --> 01:50:30,880 I'll get even more nitpicky. If you're gonna hyperlink the 2075 01:50:30,880 --> 01:50:33,840 numbers in your index, just do the whole line. 2076 01:50:33,840 --> 01:50:34,840 Just do the whole line. Yeah. 2077 01:50:35,560 --> 01:50:38,760 Yeah, I agree. OK, So that is magic. 2078 01:50:38,760 --> 01:50:39,960 We're gonna cruise through the next three. 2079 01:50:39,960 --> 01:50:40,960 I think we're cruising really well. 2080 01:50:40,960 --> 01:50:42,680 We did that whole one in like 25 minutes. 2081 01:50:43,400 --> 01:50:44,800 Yeah, I mean. I think the first one's the 2082 01:50:44,800 --> 01:50:47,480 longest one. I mean cuz campaign, we're 2083 01:50:47,480 --> 01:50:49,320 probably not gonna deep dive all campaigns. 2084 01:50:49,320 --> 01:50:51,320 I have like this much. I have like this much to say 2085 01:50:51,320 --> 01:50:51,760 about it. Yeah. 2086 01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:53,480 So this is the cover of campaigns. 2087 01:50:53,480 --> 01:50:55,800 It's got a building with flame coming out from it. 2088 01:50:55,800 --> 01:50:58,400 It's got a crown with some Spears going through it. 2089 01:50:58,400 --> 01:51:00,640 Says campaigns on it. You like the cover on this one? 2090 01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:02,560 Yeah, the cover on all of them are so sick. 2091 01:51:02,560 --> 01:51:04,560 Yeah, I don't know why, but this actually might be my favorite 2092 01:51:04,560 --> 01:51:09,520 cover, so I don't. Know I don't know. 2093 01:51:09,600 --> 01:51:12,280 I mean, honestly, my favorite is the the three wolves on Yeah. 2094 01:51:12,440 --> 01:51:14,880 The three wolves, I feel like that's everyone's first choice 2095 01:51:14,880 --> 01:51:16,640 for their favorite, though. I'm trying to be eclectic with 2096 01:51:16,680 --> 01:51:18,160 my choice. I'm trying to be an individual. 2097 01:51:18,440 --> 01:51:22,360 You know, are you? Well then mine is mine is mine 2098 01:51:22,360 --> 01:51:24,720 is probably the Magic 1 then, to be quite honest. 2099 01:51:25,120 --> 01:51:27,360 Oh, I don't know, the monsters one kind of fucks yeah, mine's 2100 01:51:27,360 --> 01:51:30,360 probably the Magic 1 then. So anyway, that's campaigned, so 2101 01:51:30,360 --> 01:51:31,880 let's cruise through campaigns real quick. 2102 01:51:33,280 --> 01:51:38,360 So once again, not hyperlinked, you get some sections, you get 2103 01:51:38,360 --> 01:51:40,880 the kingdoms of Wolfwald and other lands, Wolfwald society 2104 01:51:40,960 --> 01:51:43,160 and write your Wolfwald. And then you get a bunch of 2105 01:51:43,160 --> 01:51:46,840 appendices, appendices which are optional rules, the rolls war of 2106 01:51:46,840 --> 01:51:50,280 Wigwill, which is like an adventure, some stuff about war 2107 01:51:50,280 --> 01:51:53,680 bands. One of your Friedman is and 2108 01:51:53,680 --> 01:51:56,680 Wolfwald's who's who. So this is kind of a little 2109 01:51:56,680 --> 01:52:00,080 Gazeteer explainer. So talk about the Wolfwald 2110 01:52:00,080 --> 01:52:07,920 campaign. Basically it says the world of 2111 01:52:07,920 --> 01:52:10,320 Wolfold is a world where the bond of war band, the oath of 2112 01:52:10,320 --> 01:52:12,920 loyalty between warrior and king, your words, your honor and 2113 01:52:12,920 --> 01:52:15,160 your status mean everything. So it's just a, it's a breakdown 2114 01:52:15,160 --> 01:52:17,080 of of kind of the world and how it works. 2115 01:52:18,200 --> 01:52:22,640 There's a huge map here. I'll open the whole map in a 2116 01:52:22,640 --> 01:52:24,480 little bit. Actually, let me just open the 2117 01:52:24,480 --> 01:52:25,840 map as APDF so we can look at it. 2118 01:52:25,840 --> 01:52:31,280 So it is real quick open, bitch. There you go. 2119 01:52:31,480 --> 01:52:36,440 So that's the entire map. It's great. 2120 01:52:36,440 --> 01:52:38,240 It's beautiful. It's a gorgeous map. 2121 01:52:38,240 --> 01:52:43,920 Really nice map. Yeah, it's really the the dragon 2122 01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:47,320 Caves, like the Eastlands, like the the Moore Highlands. 2123 01:52:47,640 --> 01:52:52,160 It's so detailed and clearly like it gets, I mean, it's OK, 2124 01:52:52,160 --> 01:52:55,680 so it's not that, but it is very highly detailed. 2125 01:52:55,680 --> 01:52:57,600 You can get, you can get deep in this map. 2126 01:52:57,600 --> 01:53:01,160 I'm at 400% right now and it's very clear. 2127 01:53:02,600 --> 01:53:05,520 So you can get you can get up in Wodens wound. 2128 01:53:07,160 --> 01:53:09,640 So yeah. So campaign three. 2129 01:53:09,640 --> 01:53:12,600 So the Kingdom of Wolf, Ald and other lands. 2130 01:53:13,520 --> 01:53:15,680 So the world of Wolfold. Oh, I did write down a little 2131 01:53:15,680 --> 01:53:17,760 breakdown for this. The world of Wolfold is a world 2132 01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:19,920 where the bond of war, band, oath and loyalty between 2133 01:53:19,920 --> 01:53:22,520 warrior, between warrior and king. 2134 01:53:22,680 --> 01:53:24,960 Your word, your honor and your status, meaning everything, is a 2135 01:53:24,960 --> 01:53:27,760 world where family, community, and the King's laws are a shield 2136 01:53:27,760 --> 01:53:30,440 against misfortune and the terror of the unknown. 2137 01:53:30,800 --> 01:53:33,400 Unfortunately for the player characters, the world of Wolfold 2138 01:53:33,400 --> 01:53:35,920 is one which they have none of these things. 2139 01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:42,320 Yeah, and then you get what amounts to the gazetteer. 2140 01:53:42,320 --> 01:53:47,240 This is a list of the lands, ruler banner, some lore AD 12 2141 01:53:47,240 --> 01:53:49,720 encounter table and some other table sometimes. 2142 01:53:49,720 --> 01:53:52,680 So looking at this first one, Eastland sex Eastland 6 right, 2143 01:53:53,040 --> 01:53:56,280 the ruler king born hall, the banner, a black Raven on a blood 2144 01:53:56,280 --> 01:53:59,440 red background looks dope. There's a bunch of there's a 2145 01:53:59,440 --> 01:54:02,680 rest of that pages of lore about that land. 2146 01:54:03,040 --> 01:54:05,640 And then beneath that it says encounters in Eastland. 2147 01:54:05,840 --> 01:54:10,360 It's a 2D6 encounter table, which means, you know that what 2148 01:54:10,360 --> 01:54:12,200 a 2D6 means. It means that the ones in the 2149 01:54:12,200 --> 01:54:13,720 middle are the ones that are most likely to happen. 2150 01:54:14,040 --> 01:54:16,720 That's how 2D6 works. And that's a whole section. 2151 01:54:17,040 --> 01:54:21,720 So it goes through a whole big chunk of that, the Midlands, 2152 01:54:22,520 --> 01:54:28,160 Stuffland, Westland, Middle. So north-south, east, West and 2153 01:54:28,160 --> 01:54:30,000 middle. Very, very. 2154 01:54:31,080 --> 01:54:33,720 What's great is that this is exactly how people would call 2155 01:54:33,720 --> 01:54:35,880 them. I was just saying that's totally 2156 01:54:35,880 --> 01:54:38,000 how humans name things, you know? 2157 01:54:38,600 --> 01:54:40,600 What is the gate to the South called? 2158 01:54:40,600 --> 01:54:45,200 Oh, that's Southgate. Wait, come on, feel. 2159 01:54:45,440 --> 01:54:48,360 Like canyons, like it's really big and grand. 2160 01:54:48,360 --> 01:54:50,080 We'll call it the Grand Canyon. You. 2161 01:54:50,280 --> 01:54:54,280 Know exactly people that take too much time to name shit some 2162 01:54:54,280 --> 01:54:57,200 fancy thing. It's not, It's not. 2163 01:54:57,200 --> 01:54:59,120 That's not how things work. What is? 2164 01:54:59,120 --> 01:55:00,320 What is that river to east called? 2165 01:55:00,320 --> 01:55:02,280 Oh, that's East River. Like, come on. 2166 01:55:02,880 --> 01:55:07,400 Like OK, wolf walled society, where did that start? 2167 01:55:08,120 --> 01:55:11,720 Here we go, wolf walled society. So this is a breakdown of 2168 01:55:11,720 --> 01:55:16,000 technology and population size. It is a list of the wolf walled 2169 01:55:16,320 --> 01:55:20,760 social order which is right here starts at the king and goes all 2170 01:55:20,760 --> 01:55:23,880 the way down to the wolfs heads and there's a breakdown of all 2171 01:55:23,880 --> 01:55:28,920 of that from the king to the queen to the Princess to the 2172 01:55:28,920 --> 01:55:32,800 sages and everything Elderman things, all that cool breakdown. 2173 01:55:34,080 --> 01:55:36,720 There's a section here about the division of land. 2174 01:55:37,360 --> 01:55:39,680 It basically says like land is the main source of wealth and 2175 01:55:39,680 --> 01:55:41,920 things like that. So how how are how is land 2176 01:55:41,920 --> 01:55:43,880 divided? The smaller unit is called a 2177 01:55:43,880 --> 01:55:45,840 hide. And then it goes up from there, 2178 01:55:45,840 --> 01:55:49,080 tithing the 100, the Shire, things like that. 2179 01:55:49,080 --> 01:55:51,080 So how it's all separated, right? 2180 01:55:51,480 --> 01:55:52,480 Yeah. The Shire, they have around 2181 01:55:52,480 --> 01:55:57,520 doors the Wolfwald society. It says NPC attitudes or who 2182 01:55:57,520 --> 01:55:59,560 hates whom and why? I love that. 2183 01:55:59,560 --> 01:56:02,080 I don't know why that's so fucking funny, NPC attitudes. 2184 01:56:02,080 --> 01:56:06,360 But basically it says that it's a very rigid society and people 2185 01:56:06,360 --> 01:56:08,240 live and die in their for small communities. 2186 01:56:08,640 --> 01:56:13,120 The one constant of all of these small communities is that 2187 01:56:13,120 --> 01:56:17,800 everyone hates you because you're an outcast piece of shit. 2188 01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:22,280 Perfect. And then there is just a list of 2189 01:56:22,280 --> 01:56:26,080 who hates who in society. So if you if you if you start 2190 01:56:26,080 --> 01:56:28,120 with the first one here, which is basically like the the 2191 01:56:28,120 --> 01:56:33,160 peasants, right? The peasants are are to a lesser 2192 01:56:33,160 --> 01:56:36,240 extent curls. They hate everyone because they 2193 01:56:36,240 --> 01:56:39,920 fear everyone, but they are far too servile, cowed or fearful of 2194 01:56:39,920 --> 01:56:43,560 a beating to do much about it. Literally, it's who who hates 2195 01:56:43,560 --> 01:56:45,120 these people, who rules these people. 2196 01:56:45,280 --> 01:56:48,240 It's interesting. And that's that's neat. 2197 01:56:48,520 --> 01:56:53,440 Another another copy of the map is that twice a year? 2198 01:56:55,040 --> 01:56:57,560 I think maps in here twice, one vertical and one across 2 2199 01:56:57,560 --> 01:56:58,480 spreads. I'm fine that. 2200 01:56:58,520 --> 01:57:01,640 Is in fact in here twice. I wouldn't be surprised if it's 2201 01:57:01,640 --> 01:57:03,760 literally the middle spread of the book, which would be cool. 2202 01:57:05,600 --> 01:57:07,480 There's a section here on Write Your Wolfwald. 2203 01:57:07,480 --> 01:57:10,280 So there's a giant bit of writing here, like a like a 2204 01:57:10,280 --> 01:57:12,840 prose poem. This is the wonderer too. 2205 01:57:13,400 --> 01:57:16,040 The wise warrior must understand how ghostly it will be when all 2206 01:57:16,040 --> 01:57:17,760 this world's wealth stands ruined. 2207 01:57:17,760 --> 01:57:19,160 And then it continues for a whole page. 2208 01:57:19,160 --> 01:57:21,720 I love that. So there's a seven step process 2209 01:57:21,720 --> 01:57:23,520 for writing your wolf, Walt, your campaign. 2210 01:57:23,760 --> 01:57:25,560 We're not going to talk about them, but they're cool. 2211 01:57:25,560 --> 01:57:30,520 The seven steps are setting the tone, where to start casting the 2212 01:57:30,520 --> 01:57:32,280 NPCS. As in like creating them, 2213 01:57:32,280 --> 01:57:34,000 figuring out who they are, where they are, and why. 2214 01:57:35,560 --> 01:57:40,040 The campaign structure for number 4 #5 is Beyond Kings. 2215 01:57:40,240 --> 01:57:42,480 And what if it all goes wrong, right? 2216 01:57:44,440 --> 01:57:47,200 6 is. Meanwhile in Suffolin Sex, it 2217 01:57:47,200 --> 01:57:49,440 says by now you should have a basic idea of how to set up a 2218 01:57:49,440 --> 01:57:51,000 campaign, but what sort of structure? 2219 01:57:53,280 --> 01:57:54,920 Blah blah blah, you're going to read that right? 2220 01:57:55,200 --> 01:58:03,160 And then 7 is a session by session discussion, right? 2221 01:58:03,880 --> 01:58:07,880 You get to Appendix A, which is going to be your optional rules. 2222 01:58:08,400 --> 01:58:11,320 These are cool. You get reactions, so it's a 2223 01:58:11,320 --> 01:58:13,760 classic D6 reaction table with modifiers, right? 2224 01:58:14,600 --> 01:58:17,880 Immediate threat down to tentative friendship, which is 2225 01:58:17,880 --> 01:58:21,560 neat. You get a taking action section. 2226 01:58:21,880 --> 01:58:24,960 So outside of magic and combat, most of the game takes place in 2227 01:58:24,960 --> 01:58:28,120 an abstract narrative form. So there is a way that you can 2228 01:58:28,120 --> 01:58:30,280 choose to take action that says. However, if the outcome event is 2229 01:58:30,280 --> 01:58:33,520 disputed, it can be set with AD 6 role plus or minus any 2230 01:58:33,520 --> 01:58:38,080 relevant stat bonus. So beats 2 for beat, 2 for very 2231 01:58:38,080 --> 01:58:46,080 easy, 3 for easy, 4 for medium, 5 for hard, 6 for very hard, and 2232 01:58:46,080 --> 01:58:49,800 then there is a combat order 1. So it says set. 2233 01:58:49,800 --> 01:58:52,320 You can set order by class in the action, which we talked 2234 01:58:52,320 --> 01:58:54,240 about a little bit in Swivers. This gives you that kind of like 2235 01:58:54,240 --> 01:58:57,320 Swivers thing, not necessarily by weapon type, but just by the 2236 01:58:57,320 --> 01:58:59,120 action you're doing. So initiative winning 2237 01:58:59,120 --> 01:59:02,000 skirmishers take half a move and attack on aim is number 1 and 2238 01:59:02,000 --> 01:59:04,680 #10 it's initiative losing warriors move. 2239 01:59:04,680 --> 01:59:07,040 So it's literally by like the action you want to do and the 2240 01:59:07,040 --> 01:59:09,120 class you're taking. Very old school, but it is an 2241 01:59:09,120 --> 01:59:11,720 optional rule. It is interesting. 2242 01:59:12,600 --> 01:59:15,840 Appendix B is a short adventure. I like that they call it a short 2243 01:59:15,840 --> 01:59:17,840 misadventure. That's funny. 2244 01:59:20,400 --> 01:59:26,360 And then appendix, make sure Appendix C is the war band. 2245 01:59:26,520 --> 01:59:30,080 It is the abstract skirmishing for Wolfwald. 2246 01:59:30,680 --> 01:59:34,880 So it's basically like troop style. 2247 01:59:34,920 --> 01:59:38,560 They're derived from troop type. So that's interesting. 2248 01:59:39,240 --> 01:59:42,520 Definitely fun. Read on if you want to switch up 2249 01:59:42,520 --> 01:59:46,800 the the kind of positioning, tactical infantry, role-playing, 2250 01:59:46,800 --> 01:59:50,000 things like that, siege warfare, all sorts of stuff. 2251 01:59:50,240 --> 01:59:51,640 It's when you're not individually fighting. 2252 01:59:51,640 --> 01:59:53,600 We're going to fight as like a group or you know, a bigger 2253 01:59:53,600 --> 01:59:58,840 group. One of your freedmen is is 2254 01:59:58,840 --> 02:00:02,000 personality traits, behaviors and name tables for Friedman in 2255 02:00:02,000 --> 02:00:04,600 PCs. So you can literally roll for 2256 02:00:04,600 --> 02:00:12,360 personality, behavior and name. So do me a solid roll me 2D 2257 02:00:12,360 --> 02:00:16,840 twelves. Separately and then AD 60 and AD 2258 02:00:16,840 --> 02:00:23,720 30. OK, so the two D12, first one's 2259 02:00:23,720 --> 02:00:29,320 a three second one's A5. So you're a sly liar. 2260 02:00:29,840 --> 02:00:34,720 And then AD 60. Yeah, just type in one D60. 2261 02:00:36,360 --> 02:00:39,040 Hold on, I was using the Google's dice roller. 2262 02:00:40,400 --> 02:00:50,320 OK, for AD 60 I rolled a 53. So you're will and then on one 2263 02:00:50,320 --> 02:00:54,960 D30. And then I rolled A-15 on the 2264 02:00:54,960 --> 02:00:58,640 D30. Willen the sly liar. 2265 02:01:00,720 --> 02:01:01,760 There you go. There you go. 2266 02:01:02,040 --> 02:01:05,160 Not you. That's the Freeman. 60 Fuck you. 2267 02:01:07,200 --> 02:01:11,640 Can't be AD 66 and A and a 36. That's AD 60. 2268 02:01:12,320 --> 02:01:14,960 So and then you have a a wolf waltz who's who. 2269 02:01:15,280 --> 02:01:22,680 So I believe, oh, this is a non hyperlinked I I think perfect. 2270 02:01:23,480 --> 02:01:30,680 Yeah, it's a non hyperlinked list of all of the kings, Queens 2271 02:01:31,160 --> 02:01:33,280 and warlords and stuff for the entire table. 2272 02:01:33,280 --> 02:01:36,320 So there is a page number listed but it's UN hyperlinked. 2273 02:01:37,280 --> 02:01:39,560 Why? All five of these have such a 2274 02:01:39,560 --> 02:01:42,680 weird mix of bookmarks and hyperlinks and what part's 2275 02:01:42,680 --> 02:01:44,960 hyperlinked and what's not hyperlinked, Because I do 2276 02:01:44,960 --> 02:01:47,040 believe starting with Did this one have it? 2277 02:01:47,400 --> 02:01:52,000 No, it's the next. 1/3 So 3 has a list of who's who and everyone 2278 02:01:52,000 --> 02:01:54,520 you talked about with page numbers but not hyperlinks, and 2279 02:01:54,520 --> 02:01:55,760 the index is still not hyperlinked. 2280 02:01:56,160 --> 02:01:59,120 Let's move on to four. This is monsters. 2281 02:01:59,600 --> 02:02:02,320 The interesting thing about monsters is, guess what, this 2282 02:02:02,320 --> 02:02:04,760 one randomly for some reason does have bookmarks. 2283 02:02:05,880 --> 02:02:08,680 Yep. Pretty extensive ones. 2284 02:02:08,840 --> 02:02:11,440 Yeah, actually super. Yeah, it means everything is 2285 02:02:11,440 --> 02:02:13,760 bookmarked in this.

So Dragons, sometimes called 2289 02:02:26,080 --> 02:02:29,480 worms, They are all the prodigy of earth Draca, the earth 2290 02:02:29,480 --> 02:02:32,440 dragon, the mother dragon, the first dragon. 2291 02:02:32,640 --> 02:02:34,760 She hatches an egg every 100 years. 2292 02:02:35,120 --> 02:02:38,720 There are only 7 living Dragons and there's not going to be any 2293 02:02:38,720 --> 02:02:39,960 fucking more. Guess why? 2294 02:02:43,720 --> 02:02:46,400 Because the dwarves have her tortured and steal her eggs. 2295 02:02:46,440 --> 02:02:48,840 There we go. Yeah, I was. 2296 02:02:48,880 --> 02:02:52,000 Opening 5 I figured I wasn't open on my computer so I'm just 2297 02:02:52,040 --> 02:02:55,000 I'm prepping for the next one. Yeah, so there are, there's a 2298 02:02:55,000 --> 02:02:57,000 picture of her and there are 7 living Dragons. 2299 02:02:57,000 --> 02:02:58,360 Not going to go over them. They're cool. 2300 02:02:58,520 --> 02:03:00,960 You get a bunch of information, you get a name, you get lore, 2301 02:03:00,960 --> 02:03:03,880 you get stats, you get other stuff that they can do. 2302 02:03:04,160 --> 02:03:06,920 Like the first guy you can be as a shapeshifter and a poisoner of 2303 02:03:06,920 --> 02:03:10,000 hearts and minds. So there's seven Dragons. 2304 02:03:10,040 --> 02:03:11,840 They're all dope. A lot of them have art. 2305 02:03:11,840 --> 02:03:14,120 Not every single one of them, but they're school like half 2306 02:03:14,120 --> 02:03:17,200 page spreads for art for a lot of them, like half. 2307 02:03:18,480 --> 02:03:22,400 And then you move on to the Etnas like Eddens. 2308 02:03:22,400 --> 02:03:26,280 Basically, there are giants. There are 6 giants in the world 2309 02:03:26,280 --> 02:03:28,200 of Wolfold. That is it. 2310 02:03:28,280 --> 02:03:30,360 And when they are all slain, there will be no more. 2311 02:03:31,960 --> 02:03:33,720 That's when Ragnarok will come so. 2312 02:03:33,840 --> 02:03:38,160 Yeah, first one is Bevis of Whorehundle. 2313 02:03:39,560 --> 02:03:52,200 Yeah, Gil Bevis, Gil Grogar, the Long Man, the rude man is that 6 2314 02:03:52,200 --> 02:03:57,840 and the and the thirst man and the night man, he cometh. 2315 02:03:59,400 --> 02:04:01,640 So that's all those same, same as everything else. 2316 02:04:01,640 --> 02:04:03,920 You get some lore, you get some stats, you get some bonus shit 2317 02:04:03,920 --> 02:04:06,840 for it. Really cool beasts and everyone 2318 02:04:06,840 --> 02:04:08,720 else. It's literally fucking 2319 02:04:08,720 --> 02:04:11,760 everything. It's it's beastmen, doom goats. 2320 02:04:11,760 --> 02:04:13,960 It's a massive beast area. We're not going to talk about 2321 02:04:13,960 --> 02:04:15,640 them. We're going to skip all of that. 2322 02:04:15,640 --> 02:04:17,400 They're they're great art throughout the entire thing, 2323 02:04:17,400 --> 02:04:20,360 though. Like this, the art for the for 2324 02:04:20,360 --> 02:04:23,920 the marsh fiend with like the sheep running away from it. 2325 02:04:23,960 --> 02:04:27,160 Fantastic piece of art that's on page 21. 2326 02:04:28,240 --> 02:04:30,440 Really dope. I'm so wrapped up in the doom 2327 02:04:30,440 --> 02:04:34,200 goats. They have the goats with subtle 2328 02:04:34,200 --> 02:04:39,520 human features and bodies of humans with not so subtle goat 2329 02:04:39,520 --> 02:04:41,360 features. That's terrifying. 2330 02:04:42,160 --> 02:04:45,280 Yeah. Blowing. 2331 02:04:45,280 --> 02:04:47,920 Hood and roads it's that. 1824 movie, you know. 2332 02:04:48,400 --> 02:04:52,560 Yeah, so again, a lot of great art throughout this entire B 2333 02:04:52,560 --> 02:04:53,520 stereo section. It's cool. 2334 02:04:53,520 --> 02:04:55,720 We're going to get down to some weird stuff here at the bottom. 2335 02:04:56,520 --> 02:05:01,960 So creature list, dope. Fully fucking hyperlinked there. 2336 02:05:01,960 --> 02:05:05,880 So the first book that has bookmarks also is the first one 2337 02:05:05,880 --> 02:05:07,360 that is like super, well, hyperlinked. 2338 02:05:07,920 --> 02:05:10,240 I think Magic had hyperlinks, but only in the numbers. 2339 02:05:10,480 --> 02:05:14,360 This is this is the whole line. Everything is hyperlinked here, 2340 02:05:14,360 --> 02:05:16,280 right? It says volume 4 and has a list 2341 02:05:16,280 --> 02:05:19,920 of every dragon, giant beast and everyone else on here. 2342 02:05:20,400 --> 02:05:21,560 Great. Awesome. 2343 02:05:22,040 --> 02:05:25,920 And then for some reason the next page is volume 5, which is 2344 02:05:25,920 --> 02:05:26,400 people. Yeah. 2345 02:05:26,520 --> 02:05:30,640 This is where that is OK, Yeah. So it's we're going to get to 2346 02:05:30,640 --> 02:05:32,480 the people section, which is like basically a beast area 2347 02:05:32,480 --> 02:05:34,320 before like NPCS and people and shit, right? 2348 02:05:34,800 --> 02:05:40,320 And it is also not, none of this information is in this book. 2349 02:05:41,000 --> 02:05:47,280 For some reason, the the people list from Volume 5 is in volume 2350 02:05:47,280 --> 02:05:50,840 4. And I checked, it is in the book 2351 02:05:50,840 --> 02:05:52,160 too. It's in the printed book. 2352 02:05:52,160 --> 02:05:55,600 It's not just on. Yeah, it's in the printed book. 2353 02:05:55,840 --> 02:05:59,560 Very weird. If we go to the back, you'll see 2354 02:06:00,000 --> 02:06:07,280 that right here. It says you just want to know 2355 02:06:07,280 --> 02:06:09,960 what's in the next volume. You don't have to worry, you 2356 02:06:09,960 --> 02:06:11,720 already have the page numbers right here. 2357 02:06:12,360 --> 02:06:14,880 It says what? Let me go over, it says volume 5 2358 02:06:14,960 --> 02:06:17,760 right there. And the weirdest part of this, 2359 02:06:17,760 --> 02:06:22,600 which is fine, whatever, they're also hyperlinked, but, but 2360 02:06:22,680 --> 02:06:26,320 clearly not to the correct page because if you go to page 4, 2361 02:06:26,320 --> 02:06:28,360 you're going to go to a dragon, You're not going to go to the 2362 02:06:28,360 --> 02:06:31,880 doomed of the elves, right? So it's very weird that this is 2363 02:06:31,880 --> 02:06:33,960 here at all. And it's even more weird that 2364 02:06:33,960 --> 02:06:36,000 it's hyperlinked because it's hyperlinked to the wrong pages, 2365 02:06:36,000 --> 02:06:38,520 because this is correctly hyperlinked. 4 volume 5. 2366 02:06:38,760 --> 02:06:42,520 If you go to page 4 of volume 5, you're going to get to the ELF 2367 02:06:43,080 --> 02:06:44,960 doomed, right? But not here. 2368 02:06:45,040 --> 02:06:48,520 But if I click on that, boom, I go to page 4. 2369 02:06:48,880 --> 02:06:50,520 So it's very weird that it's here. 2370 02:06:50,520 --> 02:06:53,040 And even if you wanted the list here, you should break all those 2371 02:06:53,040 --> 02:06:54,920 hyperlinks. Kind of weird. 2372 02:06:55,640 --> 02:06:59,080 And then underneath that is a creature master list. 2373 02:06:59,280 --> 02:07:02,720 So it is not just a link to all of the creatures. 2374 02:07:02,720 --> 02:07:05,560 It's literally all of the stats for every creature, which I 2375 02:07:05,560 --> 02:07:07,840 think is also dope. This is not hyperlink, but I'm 2376 02:07:07,840 --> 02:07:10,040 fine with that. It literally is empathized. 2377 02:07:10,520 --> 02:07:13,560 That's it couldn't be easier that that's great there you know 2378 02:07:13,560 --> 02:07:14,240 I. Don't have I? 2379 02:07:14,280 --> 02:07:16,280 Have you ever seen the thing where it's literally just like 2380 02:07:16,280 --> 02:07:19,680 stacked all stats for every creature you need like right in 2381 02:07:19,680 --> 02:07:21,080 a row? That's fucking great. 2382 02:07:21,360 --> 02:07:23,160 Yeah, it's great. I mean, and the moment you get 2383 02:07:23,160 --> 02:07:24,880 to the point where you're so comfortable with this game and 2384 02:07:24,960 --> 02:07:27,040 you know the names of things, you're like, I can just find the 2385 02:07:27,040 --> 02:07:28,000 name really quick. It's no let. 2386 02:07:28,000 --> 02:07:29,360 Me. Just talk to the Friedman, yeah? 2387 02:07:29,840 --> 02:07:32,400 Yeah, you know, it's even funnier real quick about that 2388 02:07:32,640 --> 02:07:35,840 Volume 50. Never mind, I found it. 2389 02:07:36,000 --> 02:07:36,760 Never mind. Ignore me. 2390 02:07:36,760 --> 02:07:38,600 Keep going. Here's the thing that I don't 2391 02:07:38,600 --> 02:07:42,880 mind that it's here because all of those are listed in the 2392 02:07:42,960 --> 02:07:44,720 master creature list below, right? 2393 02:07:44,720 --> 02:07:47,520 So if I do want to go to the Phage or the Doomed or whatever, 2394 02:07:47,800 --> 02:07:50,240 I can go to F and here it is. Here are the stats. 2395 02:07:50,720 --> 02:07:53,760 Just break the hyperlinks. Yeah, obviously it's just copy 2396 02:07:53,760 --> 02:07:55,960 paste it over. You know, that's my assumption, 2397 02:07:56,480 --> 02:08:02,120 but just break the just take the page numbers out because the 2398 02:08:02,120 --> 02:08:04,160 page numbers aren't applicable to this volume. 2399 02:08:04,400 --> 02:08:07,000 It's weird. It's like the biggest, it's like 2400 02:08:07,000 --> 02:08:09,240 one of the only like big shining, like weird errors we've 2401 02:08:09,240 --> 02:08:12,760 seen across all the volumes. And then we're going to go 5 the 2402 02:08:12,800 --> 02:08:14,200 the last volume and then we're done. 2403 02:08:14,200 --> 02:08:19,640 I'm I'm we, we have basically two hours and, and we've cruised 2404 02:08:19,640 --> 02:08:21,760 close to 250 pages. I'm a fan. 2405 02:08:22,000 --> 02:08:24,680 So this is people. Yeah, this is people. 2406 02:08:25,200 --> 02:08:30,120 Let me bring up the cover for five so you can see it. 2407 02:08:30,640 --> 02:08:34,320 Boom. There's the people, here's the 2408 02:08:34,320 --> 02:08:36,400 steeple, here's the people. You know all that thing. 2409 02:08:36,720 --> 02:08:41,200 It's got three peoples. It's got like a, it's three 2410 02:08:41,200 --> 02:08:43,120 peoples, right stacked on top of each other. 2411 02:08:43,640 --> 02:08:44,840 One with the axe, one with the bow. 2412 02:08:44,840 --> 02:08:46,000 Wants a shield. It's dope. 2413 02:08:46,000 --> 02:08:47,440 I do like this one. Again, the art on this is 2414 02:08:47,440 --> 02:08:51,920 fantastic. We're going to go to #5 again, 2415 02:08:52,120 --> 02:08:58,760 this one also is bookmarked extensively, table of contents 2416 02:08:58,760 --> 02:09:03,360 still not hyperlinked. And then it's a breakdown of all 2417 02:09:03,360 --> 02:09:05,600 the peoples. So we're going to just talk on 2418 02:09:05,600 --> 02:09:07,040 them. So first is a breakdown of the 2419 02:09:07,880 --> 02:09:10,560 So this is more info on the kin trade, some stat blocks, 2420 02:09:10,560 --> 02:09:13,960 including what the PCs would be as in PCs, right? 2421 02:09:14,240 --> 02:09:16,760 So if you run into a doomed, that's not you. 2422 02:09:16,800 --> 02:09:18,680 What would fighting one be like? Right. 2423 02:09:18,680 --> 02:09:25,240 So for the elf, the the elf sin I wrote, yeah, the elf kin bro, 2424 02:09:25,240 --> 02:09:29,120 That's that's a. Pronunciation Guide. 2425 02:09:29,440 --> 02:09:35,040 Bro, fuck off. So the elf can I wrote not too 2426 02:09:35,040 --> 02:09:36,680 much new stuff. It just talks about all the 2427 02:09:36,680 --> 02:09:39,160 things that I talked about before basically like the trees 2428 02:09:39,160 --> 02:09:42,240 and all that kind of stuff. The forest fast the wood guard. 2429 02:09:42,520 --> 02:09:45,360 It gives a lot like like you could you could play as a wood 2430 02:09:45,360 --> 02:09:47,720 guard, but you could fight a wolf guard and here's the stats 2431 02:09:47,720 --> 02:09:51,720 for a wood guard forest interlopers, those kind of 2432 02:09:51,720 --> 02:09:54,320 things, right. The doomed stats for a doomed 2433 02:09:54,800 --> 02:09:57,400 shooters. So basically a lot of the the 2434 02:09:57,400 --> 02:10:00,720 classes that you could be, these are the NPC versions of them if 2435 02:10:00,720 --> 02:10:01,960 you're fighting against them, right? 2436 02:10:02,280 --> 02:10:07,680 A great huge page spread of of elfkin right here, which are 2437 02:10:07,680 --> 02:10:10,520 great. Same thing with the the 2438 02:10:10,520 --> 02:10:15,240 dwargars, the dwarves. This goes more deeply into the 2439 02:10:15,240 --> 02:10:19,240 lore about the dragon worship and like what lies beneath and 2440 02:10:19,240 --> 02:10:21,480 everything like that. So that's pretty cool. 2441 02:10:21,480 --> 02:10:24,840 Talks a little bit more about dragon weapons and then gives 2442 02:10:24,840 --> 02:10:27,680 you stat locks for things like Death Dealer and Shield Brother 2443 02:10:27,680 --> 02:10:30,160 and things like that. There's an image here of the the 2444 02:10:30,160 --> 02:10:32,520 little dwarf stalking of the dragon and and whatnot. 2445 02:10:33,560 --> 02:10:35,960 More art, which is cool, full of arts. 2446 02:10:36,720 --> 02:10:42,040 Then you get to the Wraithlings. This has more info on their 2447 02:10:42,040 --> 02:10:44,920 societal structure. So it says that they gather in 2448 02:10:44,920 --> 02:10:47,080 wolf packs, war bands, and sometimes even a horde. 2449 02:10:47,320 --> 02:10:49,760 But I do distinctly remember in the very first book, it's. 2450 02:10:49,760 --> 02:10:52,120 Saying. There aren't other wolf packs so 2451 02:10:52,200 --> 02:10:55,240 I think that's that should be flipped out. 2452 02:10:55,720 --> 02:10:57,800 They gather in war bands and sometimes hordes. 2453 02:10:58,200 --> 02:11:00,640 They raid across borders, killing, looting and burning 2454 02:11:00,640 --> 02:11:03,720 stuff. It's considered uncouth by men, 2455 02:11:04,360 --> 02:11:07,680 as many Rathling cultures are Whatever. 2456 02:11:07,960 --> 02:11:10,440 This is a breakdown of the entire Rathling societal 2457 02:11:10,440 --> 02:11:12,400 structure, which is really, really, really cool. 2458 02:11:13,040 --> 02:11:16,760 Gives more stats for a young Spears and the poison battle era 2459 02:11:16,760 --> 02:11:20,080 ones and things like that. Shield warriors, really 2460 02:11:20,080 --> 02:11:22,040 interesting. Again, stats for all of these, 2461 02:11:22,120 --> 02:11:25,200 art for all of these, these, these, these. 2462 02:11:25,440 --> 02:11:29,440 Yeah, it's cool. And then the witches have stat 2463 02:11:29,440 --> 02:11:31,720 blocks here too, different kinds of witches and whatnot. 2464 02:11:32,000 --> 02:11:37,200 And then you get to the the, the Earth Word, the Earth Word, the 2465 02:11:37,200 --> 02:11:42,080 Earth Word, Earth Word. They are, yeah, they are the the 2466 02:11:42,080 --> 02:11:45,120 main quote, UN quote. So that gives you a breakdown of 2467 02:11:45,120 --> 02:11:49,880 the wolf sets more societal roles like the prowls, Burrows 2468 02:11:49,880 --> 02:11:52,800 and corals. The then levy is basically all 2469 02:11:52,800 --> 02:11:54,960 the the lesser peasants and all that kind of shit. 2470 02:11:54,960 --> 02:11:57,320 You get information Freeman stats. 2471 02:11:57,800 --> 02:12:02,400 Yeah, this is exactly what this is a giant lore NPC book, which 2472 02:12:02,400 --> 02:12:06,000 is you know where this should be in its own fucking book and know 2473 02:12:06,000 --> 02:12:08,120 what's great about this? It's in its own book. 2474 02:12:08,240 --> 02:12:10,360 So if you don't need this info, you don't have to fuck with it. 2475 02:12:10,760 --> 02:12:12,920 I love it. I, I love the format of this, 2476 02:12:14,600 --> 02:12:20,200 going through that. More people, more stuff, more 2477 02:12:20,200 --> 02:12:21,680 art. So this is exactly what I think 2478 02:12:21,680 --> 02:12:22,960 these fuckers would look like too. 2479 02:12:24,320 --> 02:12:28,000 They're a great piece of art here on, on this page, on page 2480 02:12:28,760 --> 02:12:32,120 33. And then, yeah, talk about the 2481 02:12:32,120 --> 02:12:37,360 royal household, warrior Queens, Princess kings, all that kind of 2482 02:12:37,360 --> 02:12:39,320 stuff. I I mean, again, the men rule 2483 02:12:39,320 --> 02:12:41,560 the world, so there's more info on them than anybody else, but 2484 02:12:41,560 --> 02:12:43,560 they're obviously the least interesting fucks in here. 2485 02:12:45,120 --> 02:12:46,800 There's all section here on the Shining 1. 2486 02:12:46,800 --> 02:12:48,800 So more information on the shining ones, which, you know, 2487 02:12:48,800 --> 02:12:53,440 obviously big fan. Of course, it was a full page 2488 02:12:53,440 --> 02:12:59,400 piece of art for a king. And then we get to the back of 2489 02:12:59,400 --> 02:13:05,440 the book, which is the people list, which is the same list 2490 02:13:06,280 --> 02:13:10,320 that was we just said shouldn't be in volume 4, or if it is, the 2491 02:13:10,320 --> 02:13:13,320 page number should be removed because it is hyperlinked, not 2492 02:13:13,320 --> 02:13:16,040 the index. But all of this is hyperlinked. 2493 02:13:16,240 --> 02:13:19,640 There is also a typo here. In the very bottom of the very 2494 02:13:19,640 --> 02:13:21,880 last page, it says the full list of creatures and all their STAB 2495 02:13:21,880 --> 02:13:25,000 blocks are at the end of book 5. That's actually should say book 2496 02:13:25,000 --> 02:13:27,280 4. And in the print version it does 2497 02:13:27,280 --> 02:13:28,880 say book 4. So that's another typo in the 2498 02:13:28,880 --> 02:13:31,320 PDFs. Fix it for the print they did. 2499 02:13:31,720 --> 02:13:34,160 They did fix it for the print, which is great, and obviously 2500 02:13:34,720 --> 02:13:39,720 the list is not hyperlinked in the book, but it does list the 2501 02:13:39,720 --> 02:13:42,360 wrong page numbers because it's in the wrong volume for Volume 4 2502 02:13:42,360 --> 02:13:43,720 at the end. And that's it. 2503 02:13:43,720 --> 02:13:46,440 That's the entire fucking thing. That is 250 pages. 2504 02:13:46,440 --> 02:13:50,200 That is five booklets. That is the entire box set for 2505 02:13:50,200 --> 02:13:52,360 Wolfwald. I think we did a damn good job. 2506 02:13:52,640 --> 02:13:55,080 If we would have done this episode like we've done normal 2507 02:13:55,080 --> 02:13:58,400 episodes, we'd be here for five fucking hours or we would have 2508 02:13:58,400 --> 02:14:02,000 to skip half of it. So we're going to hop into the 2509 02:14:03,480 --> 02:14:06,240 the review scores here for Wolfwald. 2510 02:14:06,240 --> 02:14:07,680 Clearly this is going to be a book. 2511 02:14:08,040 --> 02:14:12,760 I think that we should, I think, like, look at them kind of as a 2512 02:14:12,760 --> 02:14:18,360 whole agree. Yeah, you're weirdly off to the 2513 02:14:18,360 --> 02:14:19,880 side. I think you moved your camera. 2514 02:14:20,800 --> 02:14:27,440 At some point, my camera. Well, OK, regardless, I'm going 2515 02:14:27,440 --> 02:14:29,280 to move you real quick and we're going to get going. 2516 02:14:29,680 --> 02:14:33,640 So, so again, we do what we do here in the show. 2517 02:14:33,640 --> 02:14:39,000 We, we, we give actual metrics, we give numbers to our we 2518 02:14:39,000 --> 02:14:42,240 quantify our terrible opinions with metrics and numbers for 2519 02:14:42,240 --> 02:14:44,640 books, quote UN quote books, things that are like 40 pages 2520 02:14:44,640 --> 02:14:48,720 plus we use 5 values for things that are less, we use three for 2521 02:14:48,720 --> 02:14:50,080 this. Obviously we're going to call, 2522 02:14:50,080 --> 02:14:51,520 we're going to constitute it as a book. 2523 02:14:51,520 --> 02:14:54,840 It is 250 ish pages. You can get up to 10 points in 2524 02:14:54,840 --> 02:14:56,440 each metric. The 1st is art and layout, which 2525 02:14:56,440 --> 02:15:00,400 is the quality, quantity and use of the art in the book and the 2526 02:15:00,400 --> 02:15:03,320 visual layout and style of the layout in the book. 2527 02:15:03,520 --> 02:15:07,080 For second is usability. It is how easy it is to take it 2528 02:15:07,080 --> 02:15:09,360 to the table, how easy it is to navigate with the book and the 2529 02:15:09,360 --> 02:15:12,600 PDFs. The rule set with an adapted 2530 02:15:12,600 --> 02:15:14,400 rule set. How do we like it? 2531 02:15:14,400 --> 02:15:17,000 If it's a unique rule set, how do we like it? 2532 02:15:17,840 --> 02:15:22,000 Originality is a combination of all those things and more, and 2533 02:15:22,000 --> 02:15:27,600 value is bang for your buck. It is what you get for the money 2534 02:15:27,600 --> 02:15:32,800 that you spend, which could be digital tools, extra adventures, 2535 02:15:33,080 --> 02:15:35,520 third party license to create stuff, you know, all that kind 2536 02:15:35,520 --> 02:15:37,960 of stuff. So on top of the cost of the 2537 02:15:37,960 --> 02:15:41,040 actual product. So let's start with art and 2538 02:15:41,040 --> 02:15:42,120 layout. What are your thoughts? 2539 02:15:43,200 --> 02:15:45,080 Good. I mean, you know, the art that's 2540 02:15:45,080 --> 02:15:47,960 in there. I really enjoy the layout's very 2541 02:15:47,960 --> 02:15:50,400 clean, very readable, nice and spacious. 2542 02:15:50,400 --> 02:15:54,600 It does have some like page decorations here and there and 2543 02:15:54,600 --> 02:15:58,360 then the the top right hand corner label of each spread 2544 02:15:58,360 --> 02:16:00,960 telling you where you are. I I I like the art and layout. 2545 02:16:03,040 --> 02:16:05,480 Yeah, I'm a I'm a big fan of the layout. 2546 02:16:05,480 --> 02:16:11,240 I think this is when I want like a really simple, straightforward 2547 02:16:11,240 --> 02:16:13,960 layout, like if, if I'm going to get black on white, you know, 2548 02:16:13,960 --> 02:16:16,520 black text on white pages, this is what I want it to look like. 2549 02:16:16,520 --> 02:16:21,040 The margins are nicely sized. Yeah, the text is nice and big. 2550 02:16:21,040 --> 02:16:25,160 It's not super fucking tiny, which I think the Zine format 2551 02:16:25,160 --> 02:16:26,720 helps. It allows each Zine to spread a 2552 02:16:26,720 --> 02:16:29,560 little bit instead of like worrying about expanding your 2553 02:16:29,560 --> 02:16:34,360 page count to 2535450. The text is super readable. 2554 02:16:35,280 --> 02:16:38,280 There's not too much information per page or per section. 2555 02:16:38,280 --> 02:16:39,799 Everything is broken down really, really well. 2556 02:16:40,000 --> 02:16:43,639 I think this is extremely well laid out for readability and it 2557 02:16:43,639 --> 02:16:45,920 looks very clean. I think when you look at a two 2558 02:16:45,920 --> 02:16:49,040 page spread and you see the design in the top corner and the 2559 02:16:49,120 --> 02:16:51,799 the I think it's super clean. I think the art looks fucking 2560 02:16:51,799 --> 02:16:54,559 great. I think all of the the graphics 2561 02:16:54,559 --> 02:16:56,320 on the cover of EZ and are great. 2562 02:16:56,320 --> 02:16:59,639 I think they're, I mean, there's a piece of art for every one of 2563 02:16:59,639 --> 02:17:01,120 the 12 classes. True. 2564 02:17:02,240 --> 02:17:05,160 Like I like one in three or one in four monsters have a piece of 2565 02:17:05,160 --> 02:17:08,760 art. There's very little outside of 2566 02:17:08,760 --> 02:17:11,080 the class section. I think that has some area on 2567 02:17:11,080 --> 02:17:13,120 the bottom which I wouldn't want to put art in there anyway. 2568 02:17:13,320 --> 02:17:16,040 When we were flipping through things like the NPC list, you 2569 02:17:16,040 --> 02:17:18,480 can see even across the bottom they had like the dragon like 2570 02:17:18,480 --> 02:17:20,280 across the bottom. They filled space really, really 2571 02:17:20,280 --> 02:17:21,520 well. The art is neat. 2572 02:17:21,520 --> 02:17:24,280 I think it's really appropriate for the setting. 2573 02:17:24,280 --> 02:17:27,000 It looks very Anglo-Saxon and things like that. 2574 02:17:27,280 --> 02:17:30,719 I, I, I I'm, I'm, I dig this and I I really dig this. 2575 02:17:31,240 --> 02:17:39,719 What number are you thinking? I think I think it's I think 2576 02:17:39,719 --> 02:17:41,680 it's really good. I don't know if I'm I don't know 2577 02:17:41,680 --> 02:17:44,559 if I think it's like great or blows me away, but I'm probably 2578 02:17:44,559 --> 02:17:45,360 around. I'm probably. 2579 02:17:45,600 --> 02:17:48,719 Dead on the seven. Yeah, I think 7 feels good for 2580 02:17:48,719 --> 02:17:55,520 this because again, it's super clean, super crazy, but are 2581 02:17:55,520 --> 02:17:57,799 really nice. It's very nice. 2582 02:17:58,160 --> 02:18:01,000 Nothing about it like super blows me away, but for 2583 02:18:01,280 --> 02:18:05,240 simplicity and ease of read and and cleanness, like I think this 2584 02:18:05,240 --> 02:18:09,240 is really fantastic usability. So this is one that's got a lot 2585 02:18:09,240 --> 02:18:11,120 of UPS and a lot of downs. It doesn't have a lot of ups and 2586 02:18:11,120 --> 02:18:12,240 downs. I was just thinking, I'm like, 2587 02:18:12,559 --> 02:18:14,959 there's things I like. It's divided up into separate 2588 02:18:15,000 --> 02:18:16,680 scenes. They're incredibly usable. 2589 02:18:16,959 --> 02:18:19,360 It's in the order that kind of makes sense even within those 2590 02:18:19,360 --> 02:18:22,160 scenes, right? The downs, sometimes they're 2591 02:18:22,160 --> 02:18:24,680 bookmarks. Most of the time there's not. 2592 02:18:24,840 --> 02:18:28,320 Sometimes there are hyperlinks, most of the time there's not. 2593 02:18:29,080 --> 02:18:32,799 As far as as this is The thing is like we're going to talk 2594 02:18:32,799 --> 02:18:36,160 about like the physical almost versus the digital, which a lot 2595 02:18:36,160 --> 02:18:37,680 of times it doesn't matter because there's one book, but 2596 02:18:37,680 --> 02:18:41,480 this is five books, right? I am obsessed with the format of 2597 02:18:41,480 --> 02:18:45,639 this. I'm obsessed with the box set 5 2598 02:18:45,639 --> 02:18:49,600 Zine plus the map cloth map format. 2599 02:18:49,959 --> 02:18:54,280 I think this is the ideal way to give people information that you 2600 02:18:54,280 --> 02:18:57,879 need. If this was one 250 page book I 2601 02:18:57,879 --> 02:19:01,080 would I would struggle to to bring this to the show because 2602 02:19:01,080 --> 02:19:03,680 I'm over reading books that are if. 2603 02:19:03,760 --> 02:19:08,160 If, if you talk about the page count as a as a positive. 2604 02:19:09,200 --> 02:19:12,520 In your marketing bro, you're 100. 2605 02:19:12,559 --> 02:19:14,799 Percent right, bro. What's funny is like right 2606 02:19:14,799 --> 02:19:18,120 before that I saw someone wrote we made a 350 page book. 2607 02:19:18,120 --> 02:19:22,799 I'm like, I don't want it like like I'm that's not a good thing 2608 02:19:22,799 --> 02:19:25,320 to me. Like your system takes 350 pages 2609 02:19:25,320 --> 02:19:27,920 to explain it to me. Make two books, bro, like come 2610 02:19:27,959 --> 02:19:31,320 on. Like so physically I'm obsessed 2611 02:19:31,320 --> 02:19:32,280 with it. I love it. 2612 02:19:32,559 --> 02:19:35,959 I with the layout stuff that we talked before visually talking 2613 02:19:35,959 --> 02:19:37,480 about that and actually usability. 2614 02:19:37,719 --> 02:19:40,719 God it's easy to read. It's so fucking easy to read. 2615 02:19:40,920 --> 02:19:43,879 The spreads are beautiful. The lack of character sheet 2616 02:19:43,879 --> 02:19:45,240 sucks. Yeah. 2617 02:19:45,840 --> 02:19:48,440 The lack of hyperlinks on the indexes. 2618 02:19:48,720 --> 02:19:50,360 Everything has a fucking character sheet bro. 2619 02:19:50,800 --> 02:19:53,400 Yeah, and all the match casters have character sheets. 2620 02:19:53,920 --> 02:19:58,280 Yeah, in the book. But I really wish even just the 2621 02:19:58,280 --> 02:19:59,720 indexes at the beginning were hyperlinked. 2622 02:19:59,800 --> 02:20:02,200 I love that the character lists and the NPC lists and something 2623 02:20:02,200 --> 02:20:03,840 that are hyperlinked. Thank, thank you. 2624 02:20:04,600 --> 02:20:10,000 But I really miss. The hyperlinks at the beginning 2625 02:20:10,440 --> 02:20:12,120 I like. Half of the books aren't 2626 02:20:12,120 --> 02:20:15,560 bookmarked so digitally it takes a hit. 2627 02:20:15,560 --> 02:20:22,160 Physically I'm obsessed with it. I honestly God, I'm so I'm. 2628 02:20:22,320 --> 02:20:24,960 Digitally for me. If this is digital only, it's a 2629 02:20:24,960 --> 02:20:28,640 5 yes. Well, I would say six across all 2630 02:20:28,640 --> 02:20:31,160 5 because we do get bookmarks and hyperlinks in like half of. 2631 02:20:31,160 --> 02:20:34,120 Them, OK, so it averages up to a six and then I think physically 2632 02:20:34,160 --> 02:20:39,760 for me it's closer to an 8. And so I think I'm in the middle 2633 02:20:39,760 --> 02:20:40,840 of that. So I think it's 7. 2634 02:20:41,320 --> 02:20:43,960 I'm down, I'm down IA. 100% agree with this. 2635 02:20:43,960 --> 02:20:48,080 I will say easy that if if all of the indexes, even just the 2636 02:20:48,080 --> 02:20:49,800 indexes, were hyperlinked, even if there weren't bookmarks 2637 02:20:49,800 --> 02:20:52,320 anywhere, if just the indexes in the top five PDFs were 2638 02:20:52,320 --> 02:20:54,080 hyperlinked, this would be an easy 8. 2639 02:20:54,080 --> 02:20:56,680 Unquestionably. I love the format of this. 2640 02:20:56,760 --> 02:21:00,440 I mean, if you're going to make a giant, what's your caveat? 2641 02:21:00,920 --> 02:21:03,480 My caveat for this is like I would not buy this digitally 2642 02:21:03,480 --> 02:21:05,120 only I would. I would not. 2643 02:21:05,160 --> 02:21:07,160 I would be like this is you need to, if you're going to get this, 2644 02:21:07,160 --> 02:21:08,840 get the physical. Don't get the digital only 2645 02:21:08,840 --> 02:21:13,960 because it's less usable. I mean. 2646 02:21:16,760 --> 02:21:19,640 I suffers. Yeah, I think for us, but I 2647 02:21:19,640 --> 02:21:23,320 think even, I don't even know if there is a physical, digital 2648 02:21:23,320 --> 02:21:25,320 only, but if that's you can afford, get it because it's 2649 02:21:25,320 --> 02:21:28,640 fucking slap super hard. Yeah, I think we care more about 2650 02:21:28,640 --> 02:21:30,240 the hyperlinks more than some people do. 2651 02:21:30,240 --> 02:21:32,480 So I wouldn't discourage people from getting it because of that. 2652 02:21:32,800 --> 02:21:37,360 I would definitely encourage Paulo to maybe release a new 2653 02:21:37,360 --> 02:21:40,040 version of this with some bonus hyperlinks at the top. 2654 02:21:40,040 --> 02:21:42,760 That would be really fantastic. But I hear what you're saying. 2655 02:21:42,840 --> 02:21:45,080 Yeah. Also, this is when we get to 2656 02:21:45,080 --> 02:21:46,720 value. Just get the physical. 2657 02:21:46,720 --> 02:21:48,600 My God. Rule set. 2658 02:21:48,840 --> 02:21:50,200 Rule set. So here's the thing. 2659 02:21:50,600 --> 02:21:52,960 What rules. It has one, right? 2660 02:21:52,960 --> 02:21:55,960 It does it because there are rules for everything. 2661 02:21:56,280 --> 02:22:00,480 All it doesn't do all it doesn't do is give you the base. 2662 02:22:00,480 --> 02:22:05,760 Base core stuff is on purpose. It specifically says use the 2663 02:22:05,760 --> 02:22:09,960 core of whatever BX you want and then just here are the modifiers 2664 02:22:09,960 --> 02:22:15,080 and I think it works so fucking well and cuts so many pages off 2665 02:22:15,080 --> 02:22:19,480 of the book and specifically why I really love again, I'm going 2666 02:22:19,480 --> 02:22:22,080 to read this. Bring your own rules. 2667 02:22:22,080 --> 02:22:25,120 You don't need yet another booklet explaining how to roll 2668 02:22:25,120 --> 02:22:26,880 the hit save or find a secret door. 2669 02:22:26,880 --> 02:22:31,800 If we're looking at this from the context of it saying I'm not 2670 02:22:31,800 --> 02:22:34,720 giving you BX rules, you fucking know them, and if you're reading 2671 02:22:34,720 --> 02:22:38,280 this, you should know them and take it from there. 2672 02:22:39,320 --> 02:22:41,800 I think it's completely valid to not have the stuff in there if 2673 02:22:41,800 --> 02:22:43,920 we're looking at it from the context, yeah. 2674 02:22:44,080 --> 02:22:45,800 But no, I think it's valid if we're looking at it from the 2675 02:22:45,800 --> 02:22:47,800 context of someone who's never played BX picking this up and 2676 02:22:47,800 --> 02:22:50,880 going, how do you swing a sword? It's never explained. 2677 02:22:51,200 --> 02:22:55,360 That's a completely valid point. I want to rate this from the 2678 02:22:55,360 --> 02:22:59,000 context that it gives us, which is if you are familiar with the 2679 02:22:59,000 --> 02:23:01,280 game, I'm not going to tell you how to swing a sword. 2680 02:23:01,280 --> 02:23:03,680 You know it's D20 rollover plus modifier, right? 2681 02:23:05,320 --> 02:23:08,720 But so if we were to remove core rule set and just look at what's 2682 02:23:08,720 --> 02:23:12,240 added on to it, I mean the rules, I mean, even, I mean, I, 2683 02:23:12,240 --> 02:23:15,480 I think of like little rules like like the the deadly fatigue 2684 02:23:15,720 --> 02:23:17,760 for the necromancer is such a good fucking rule. 2685 02:23:18,160 --> 02:23:21,120 I love the entire magic scene is so fantastic. 2686 02:23:21,400 --> 02:23:25,760 I love the way that the weapons are modifiers versus the class 2687 02:23:25,760 --> 02:23:28,000 modifiers. I think the classes are super 2688 02:23:28,000 --> 02:23:29,760 clean and super, super, super well done. 2689 02:23:29,760 --> 02:23:33,520 Prime attribute is fantastic. I mean, I fuck with this rule 2690 02:23:33,520 --> 02:23:36,840 set so, so heavily. Like if I'm going to play D&D, 2691 02:23:36,840 --> 02:23:39,920 if I want to play D&D, this is my fucking D&D. 2692 02:23:41,160 --> 02:23:45,000 Dungeons and Dragons bro. Yeah, this is great. 2693 02:23:45,640 --> 02:23:50,080 I think it really sets up like for a specific type of campaign 2694 02:23:50,960 --> 02:23:54,680 and then constantly reinforces like the themes of what you're 2695 02:23:54,680 --> 02:23:58,200 doing and what makes this different from like a regular BX 2696 02:23:58,400 --> 02:24:03,520 gather gold game. I really dig this a lot. 2697 02:24:03,520 --> 02:24:07,680 I think the rule set for me is like it's as much as I 2698 02:24:07,680 --> 02:24:09,600 personally want, Like I said when we first got in here, like 2699 02:24:09,640 --> 02:24:14,080 I don't like you and I don't need to be explained the basics. 2700 02:24:14,800 --> 02:24:17,920 This is like an advanced players game and I really enjoyed that 2701 02:24:17,920 --> 02:24:21,080 and I think it does it well. And then I think the stuff 2702 02:24:21,080 --> 02:24:24,400 that's included is meaningful. I honestly with the rule set, I 2703 02:24:24,400 --> 02:24:25,480 think it's going to be the highest score. 2704 02:24:25,480 --> 02:24:27,280 I'm in the. I mean, it's probably like an 8 2705 02:24:27,280 --> 02:24:28,320 for me. Yeah. 2706 02:24:28,360 --> 02:24:30,720 I think it's an easy 8 for me. I think it's an easy 8 for me. 2707 02:24:31,320 --> 02:24:34,840 Yeah, Yeah, completely agree. I'd already pledged in there. 2708 02:24:35,160 --> 02:24:39,520 Originality. OK, so there aren't a ton of 2709 02:24:39,520 --> 02:24:41,600 games like this. The one that we think of right 2710 02:24:41,600 --> 02:24:43,960 off the top of our head is is was upon the coast, right? 2711 02:24:43,960 --> 02:24:45,960 This is similar ish. Similar ish. 2712 02:24:46,000 --> 02:24:49,560 Yeah, I mean Outkast Silver Raiders is also very similar 2713 02:24:49,560 --> 02:24:51,720 time period and like. Not true, True, true, true, 2714 02:24:51,720 --> 02:24:56,960 True, true, true, true, true. I mean, I think for Kyrie and 2715 02:24:56,960 --> 02:25:01,160 setting, it's not like the single most original thing ever. 2716 02:25:01,240 --> 02:25:04,080 Oh, look at that. Would you believe I gave mine 2717 02:25:04,080 --> 02:25:06,200 away? I would believe it. 2718 02:25:06,680 --> 02:25:12,440 Yeah, because I did. Yeah. 2719 02:25:13,960 --> 02:25:18,480 Where are you with this one? So here's the thing that I love 2720 02:25:18,480 --> 02:25:21,120 about the setting, right? That's where that was. 2721 02:25:21,760 --> 02:25:25,120 Oh look, traveler. Oh, I'm just through it with the 2722 02:25:25,120 --> 02:25:26,880 rest of my traveler stuff. I have a whole God, I have so 2723 02:25:26,880 --> 02:25:28,840 much traveler. We need to do that episode this 2724 02:25:28,840 --> 02:25:32,400 year. I am bro, just I think it's, I 2725 02:25:32,400 --> 02:25:34,240 think the originality is through the fucking roof on this. 2726 02:25:34,280 --> 02:25:36,760 Like honestly when I just think of the way that you have to cast 2727 02:25:36,760 --> 02:25:39,200 spells. Yeah, that does give a lot to 2728 02:25:39,240 --> 02:25:40,480 it. It gives a lot. 2729 02:25:40,480 --> 02:25:43,280 And then even just the way that the campaign is set up, right? 2730 02:25:43,280 --> 02:25:46,280 It's D&D, but it's it's literally says it's not a 2731 02:25:46,280 --> 02:25:48,400 dungeon crawler, it's not a wilderness explorer. 2732 02:25:48,560 --> 02:25:50,640 You're going to use those basic rules plus what I've given you 2733 02:25:50,680 --> 02:25:53,840 and you're going to do covert Black Ops missions with your 2734 02:25:53,840 --> 02:25:57,200 societal outcast trying to regain respect and stuff like 2735 02:25:57,200 --> 02:25:58,600 that. I think it's great. 2736 02:25:58,680 --> 02:26:04,240 I think, I think this is, this is how to do a retro clone in 2737 02:26:04,240 --> 02:26:07,040 that. Don't give me a whole book of 2738 02:26:07,040 --> 02:26:11,480 your slight weird 1° different rules and your take on it. 2739 02:26:11,880 --> 02:26:14,840 I can use the rules I want. Give me setting and all the 2740 02:26:14,840 --> 02:26:17,720 rules I need to, to reinforce that setting over and over and 2741 02:26:17,720 --> 02:26:19,040 over again. I love that. 2742 02:26:19,400 --> 02:26:21,960 I don't know, I'm pretty fucking high on the originality for 2743 02:26:21,960 --> 02:26:23,120 this. I, I think the setting is 2744 02:26:23,120 --> 02:26:25,360 fantastic. I think the rules are fantastic. 2745 02:26:25,600 --> 02:26:28,520 I think the format is not something you see a ton, which I 2746 02:26:28,520 --> 02:26:30,520 think adds to the originality of it too. 2747 02:26:31,120 --> 02:26:34,680 I think even even even I'll give you originality points for even 2748 02:26:34,760 --> 02:26:37,640 the beginning part where it literally says like, I'm not 2749 02:26:37,640 --> 02:26:40,200 giving you that those rules because you don't fucking need 2750 02:26:40,200 --> 02:26:41,840 them. I expect you. 2751 02:26:41,920 --> 02:26:44,560 This is a game for people that are that are in the hobby 2752 02:26:44,560 --> 02:26:49,080 already. I I I even love that. 2753 02:26:49,080 --> 02:26:52,920 I I think it's great. I personally think it's great or 2754 02:26:52,920 --> 02:26:54,080 give you. A number. 2755 02:26:55,040 --> 02:26:57,680 I'm an I'm an 8 for this. I think Aid's fine you. 2756 02:26:57,880 --> 02:27:00,840 I was starting lower, but you really sold me with past few 2757 02:27:00,840 --> 02:27:01,840 senses. I'm like, you know what? 2758 02:27:02,200 --> 02:27:06,120 You're fucking right, Ryan. Yeah, I am fucking right value 2759 02:27:06,120 --> 02:27:08,240 for this.

I don't know. 2773 02:28:04,960 --> 02:28:06,720 It's not exalted. It is out of stock right now. 2774 02:28:06,760 --> 02:28:10,280 It's 60 bucks.

I think that's honestly an 2783 02:28:37,760 --> 02:28:39,200 insane fucking. Deal. 2784 02:28:39,200 --> 02:28:43,080 I think that's pretty darn good. That's ridiculous. 2785 02:28:43,320 --> 02:28:46,440 My assumption, even though I don't remember seeing it 2786 02:28:46,440 --> 02:28:50,080 anywhere else, is that Paulo would be totally fine with 2787 02:28:50,080 --> 02:28:53,560 people making Wolfwald content because I think that's kind of 2788 02:28:53,560 --> 02:28:55,520 how they are. But there is no third party 2789 02:28:55,520 --> 02:28:57,600 license. I can imagine though that that 2790 02:28:57,600 --> 02:29:01,960 they would be OK with that. Not like they they could stop 2791 02:29:01,960 --> 02:29:03,280 them, they just could say it's not. 2792 02:29:03,560 --> 02:29:09,160 It's for use with Wolfwald. It's not for a Wolfwald I, but 2793 02:29:09,160 --> 02:29:12,560 also the you do get an adventure in the book and you get the 2794 02:29:12,560 --> 02:29:14,640 entire campaign structure and how to build 1 and do 2795 02:29:14,640 --> 02:29:17,080 everything. So I think what you get for this 2796 02:29:17,080 --> 02:29:21,160 is pretty darn fucking good for for only getting basically this 2797 02:29:21,160 --> 02:29:23,080 in the digital version. I think that's quite a bit. 2798 02:29:24,760 --> 02:29:27,360 I would say that's probably really good to me, I think. 2799 02:29:29,920 --> 02:29:33,520 Yeah, I think that's I, I, yeah, yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm thinking 2800 02:29:33,520 --> 02:29:36,920 about the the same place, probably about 7. 2801 02:29:37,680 --> 02:29:39,360 Probably about a seven. Yeah. 2802 02:29:39,880 --> 02:29:43,520 So, so that's those are our scores. 2803 02:29:43,800 --> 02:29:45,720 And I'm going to add this up, but don't forget this year we 2804 02:29:45,720 --> 02:29:48,440 did starting at the beginning of the year and every year we do 2805 02:29:48,440 --> 02:29:51,560 this scores are gradually getting kind of not lower and 2806 02:29:51,560 --> 02:29:53,040 lower, but a little bit more refined. 2807 02:29:53,040 --> 02:29:54,520 We did refined our system a little bit. 2808 02:29:54,840 --> 02:29:57,920 So because one reason is when we did our year interview, there 2809 02:29:57,920 --> 02:30:01,960 was like 15 games with an 8 for a rule set and those definitely 2810 02:30:01,960 --> 02:30:03,320 could have been spread out a little bit more. 2811 02:30:03,320 --> 02:30:05,240 So we. We also have a rule set right 2812 02:30:05,240 --> 02:30:07,320 now. Yeah, but it deserves it. 2813 02:30:11,320 --> 02:30:18,120 So when we look at the totals for this, it is 7 + 7 + 8 + 8 + 2814 02:30:18,200 --> 02:30:20,240 7. That is a 37. 2815 02:30:20,240 --> 02:30:23,760 That is a solid fucking score. That's right about where I 2816 02:30:23,760 --> 02:30:27,960 expected this to to end up. Again, if we went back and redid 2817 02:30:27,960 --> 02:30:31,440 and probably like our first like 50 games, you could probably 2818 02:30:31,440 --> 02:30:34,360 chop about 3 points off every one of those and that'd probably 2819 02:30:34,360 --> 02:30:39,200 be about where we're at now. So I think when we were being 2820 02:30:39,200 --> 02:30:42,680 maybe a little bit more generous a year plus ago, this probably 2821 02:30:42,680 --> 02:30:47,560 would be in the 40s, but again, we're being a little bit more. 2822 02:30:47,560 --> 02:30:48,760 What's the word you use? What do I keep? 2823 02:30:50,320 --> 02:30:54,280 30 maybe discerning 37 is fantastic. 2824 02:30:54,280 --> 02:30:55,760 I fuck with this game super hard. 2825 02:30:55,760 --> 02:30:59,440 Like I said, if I was playing it D&D, this is the D and DI would 2826 02:30:59,440 --> 02:31:03,920 want to play the product. The game is slapped super hard. 2827 02:31:03,920 --> 02:31:07,040 They'll product goes even fucking harder. 2828 02:31:07,040 --> 02:31:10,800 This is probably. Yeah, probably my favorite box 2829 02:31:10,800 --> 02:31:12,040 set on my shelf. First of all, the box is 2830 02:31:12,040 --> 02:31:13,240 gorgeous. The scenes are gorgeous. 2831 02:31:13,240 --> 02:31:14,960 It's great. That is the game. 2832 02:31:15,000 --> 02:31:18,240 That is Wolfwald from Paulo Greco of Lost Pages. 2833 02:31:18,240 --> 02:31:19,400 We'll make sure all the links are below. 2834 02:31:19,640 --> 02:31:21,320 We haven't decided what we're going to do next week. 2835 02:31:21,320 --> 02:31:24,120 We will talk about it. We do. 2836 02:31:25,720 --> 02:31:27,880 Yeah. We said we're we're doing less 2837 02:31:27,880 --> 02:31:30,480 interviews.
