But but anyway, oh, that's 46 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,720 that's one of the things the light was that's that. 47 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,000 So yeah. So the game. 48 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,280 So Sherwood. Sherwood. 49 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,040 I have notes. We have notes for every game 50 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,840 we've done so far this year, I think, except maybe one or two. 51 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,120 Sherwood is inspired by modern Robin Hood fantasy stories, the 52 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,600 Robin Hood Sherwood television series and medieval outlaw 53 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,080 ballads and romances designed for a game master and one to six 54 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,200 players. It uses a quick 2D6 core system, 55 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:13,760 encourages you to devil and magic rituals, and has character 56 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,320 Christian inspired by Traveler that also lets you make the 57 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,960 outlaw you want to make unconstrained by societies 58 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,200 biases about race, ethnicity, sex, sexuality or gender. 59 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,400 The first demo portions of the game are released on February 60 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,880 9th, 2022. Then went through a few beta 61 00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,960 tests before the full game was released on November 2nd, 2022. 62 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,440 It's currently available digitally on Itch and Drive 63 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,160 through RPG and in print at Spearwitch, Indy Press 64 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,240 Revolution, and the 20 Sided Store. 65 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,520 And we'll get into the value and stuff and like the what those 66 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,680 things cost to different places. Well, I guess this is a Zine, so 67 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,600 not so. Oh yeah, no, no, we won't, 68 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,160 because it's a Zine. Yeah. 69 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:01,120 So I think the PDF is 10 bucks wherever and then Spear Rich and 70 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,120 E Press Revolution have the game in print for like 20 bucks and I 71 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,920 think on the 20 side is, so it's like 18 bucks. 72 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,640 So pretty much wherever you prefer to get your games. 73 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,560 It's a great price point, you know, like it's a very low price 74 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:15,800 point. I think this is, I would 75 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,200 probably pay a little bit more for this, you know, for. 76 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,640 This I agree, especially with I'm going to be honest with the 77 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,920 quality of the print. I definitely would like if it 78 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,840 felt cheaper, you know 20 bucks would be fine, but I'd be happy 79 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,600 I'd be fine paying a little bit more for this just because they 80 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:37,600 obviously bumped up the the cost of printing with this cover. 81 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,080 It's very nice and obviously you can see the light hitting it. 82 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,920 Like I know I said I adjust my light, but it is very matte and 83 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,560 very nice. It's soft like I've been walking 84 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:47,280 around with this for a couple of days now just being like damn, 85 00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:51,720 this is soft scene, so it's good. 86 00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:54,720 It's good. Anything else before we hop into 87 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,480 the game? It's good to see you. 88 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,960 Now good to see you buddy. So that's a no. 89 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:07,920 So we'll just, we'll hop in. We'll hop in. 90 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:12,360 So first and foremost I got to say cover fucks. 91 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:19,440 Yeah, cool piece of art, like very like a not monochromatic 92 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,520 because there's two different colors, but it's like very 93 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,160 simple color scheme that works really well. 94 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:26,640 What? There's, I mean, there's three 95 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:27,800 colors. I know. 96 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,760 That's why I said not monochromatic, but like a very 97 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,760 simplified color scheme, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, very greens. 98 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:35,640 I think. I don't know if the A Game of 99 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,080 Outlaws Narcan is just a very light green, but it's definitely 100 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,600 not white, which is really nice. It's a very green. 101 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,880 I don't know what color green this is, but it's a beautiful 102 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:45,800 green. Like it is a stunning green. 103 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,320 It's got a much lighter yellowish green Sherwood logo. 104 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,760 And then the logo of the game going down is like a sword in 105 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,760 between two arrows all pointing down with like a ribbon slash 106 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,920 piece of claw thing, kind of like floating through it. 107 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,960 It's beautiful, It's clean. I love. 108 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:06,800 Yeah bro didn't see that. Literally just off for the first 109 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,240 time, yeah. I didn't see it the first time I 110 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,440 looked at it and then I looked, I think yesterday I was like, 111 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,960 that's an ass. I yeah, I did not realize that. 112 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,160 Now it's even cooler that the the the ribbon thing floating 113 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:20,600 through it is an S That's awesome. 114 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:26,200 If you look at the original beta version stuff, it is a much 115 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,640 better cover than the original cover was. 116 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,760 Let me you know what, fuck it, Let's grab it real quick. 117 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,320 I think one of the beta covers, like it was fine, but I will say 118 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,000 I do prefer this one much more. I think the cover for beta 119 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:48,040 three, yeah had like a very fuck boy Robin Hood on it. 120 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,000 No, a normal Robin Hood. Yeah, but let me, I'm just going 121 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,920 to. My phone die. 122 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:04,960 I'm just going to grab this picture real quick and I'll just 123 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,840 copy paste it on and show you guys the cover. 124 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,400 Like I said, it's fine. I do think I think that this is 125 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,280 a much better cover for the game. 126 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:21,640 Let's see, let's call it Sherwood Beta and we'll drag 127 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:28,240 this over. Here you go. 128 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,680 Yeah, this is better. So this is the original cover of 129 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,360 the game and it's fine. The illustration is good, the 130 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,640 art is done well. Whoever did the artist is good. 131 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,840 Totally. But I've met this guy before and 132 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:45,520 he's, he's kind of AD bag, you know? 133 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,760 Yeah, he he definitely is. Definitely. 134 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,480 This is Mr. Steal Your Girl from the Hood. 135 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,440 Robin Hood. One bartender in downtown LA 136 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,520 who's just kind of rude to you. This is every bartender in 137 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,320 downtown LA. That's who this is. 138 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,080 But it's a great illustration. It's it's Robin Hood kind of 139 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,360 popping out of some some bushes and he's got to sword in his 140 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,240 hand, axe on his back. It's cool. 141 00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:07,920 I don't I think the color choice too. 142 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,720 It's got like brown across the tops and yellows in the 143 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,200 background. I just think I I'm definitely a 144 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,880 fan of simplicity and everything. 145 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,320 I think this this cover looks so fantastic and the use of fonts 146 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,640 throughout the entire thing, like the layout throughout the 147 00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:24,880 entire thing I'm a big fan of. So we'll we'll get into that a 148 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,360 little bit more. But anyway, cover slaps. 149 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,840 It's really good. And where do you describe that? 150 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,039 We gave the alt text for those in podcast land. 151 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:37,559 Now I can't not see that S so opening page. 152 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,159 Unlocked a new level of like Perception for you, you know. 153 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,400 Oh. Fuck, did I did I? 154 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:48,800 I don't think I did like an ad page because I do want to. 155 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,000 It's good enough. I don't think it's the the real 156 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:59,080 spreads, but I can't see spreads in here. 157 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:05,080 So we'll get to it. Look at us just right, right, 158 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,120 right in the thick of it here. Today so. 159 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,640 So anyway, so there's a cover page before you get anything. 160 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,800 It's got the same Sherwood logo again on it. 161 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,160 And there's a little line, a little little ditty here from 162 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,040 the jest of Robin Hood. It says live and listen 163 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,920 gentlemen, that'd be a freeborn blood. 164 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,520 I shall tell you of a good Yeoman. 165 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:26,000 His name was Robin Hood. Robin was a proud outlaw whilst 166 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,400 he walked on ground. So curtsy an outlaw as he was 167 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,520 one was never none. You found. 168 00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:34,760 Yeah. Skirt. 169 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,800 Yeah. So then we go directly did did 170 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,640 we? Is the contents page before the 171 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,280 Oh, it's on the credits page. OK, so we get to the table of 172 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:49,040 contents. So right off the bat there are 173 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,680 bookmarks in it, which is really nice. 174 00:09:50,680 --> 00:09:56,960 It is well bookmarked all the way through, but there are no 175 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:03,400 hyperlinks. And I will say there are a 176 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,960 number of things here.

I'm obsessed with it. 206 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,280 I don't know what specifically is about it. 207 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,800 I'll try to to figure out what it is specifically about it, but 208 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,600 and and go over the things, the pieces and parts that I do 209 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,040 really enjoy about it.

It's Errol Flynn, the 1938 I 219 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,480 think Robin Hood was like a very famous movie. 220 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:28,360 Also Errol Flynn was like a fucking terrible person. 221 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,040 So shout out not for big knows your inspiration shout. 222 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:39,320 Out not Errol Flynn, apparently you huge tool but but yeah so 223 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,200 there we go and my light is going to piss me off forever. 224 00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:47,160 So welcome to Sherwood. Let me see what my notes here 225 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,080 says so welcome to Sherwood, Robin. 226 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:51,680 So right off the bat, let's look at the let's look at the the 227 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,040 there's not a ton of illustrations about the book. 228 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,600 Most of it's like spot art kind of, but the the illustrations 229 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,400 are fantastic. So even the I love this page. 230 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,640 It's so. Nice, I like. 231 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,240 The like the opening like the like explanation of kind of like 232 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,040 the like not lower implications, but the kind of the mythology 233 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,360 this comes from and then the kind of like. 234 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,840 About. This game and being in this game 235 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,480 and it, I thought this was a great page, so yeah. 236 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,280 It's really great. So the at the top it says 237 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,040 welcome to share with the Sherwood's got a very 238 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,240 beautifully done, like drawn out like it looks great and the S 239 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,600 from that is the same SI don't know why I didn't see it because 240 00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,120 it's the same S. It's in the logo and stuff. 241 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,120 There's a tree across the top obviously give you that forest 242 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,680 stuff. The beginning of almost every 243 00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:40,160 section has like a a line from a book or a movie or something. 244 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,920 This one says Robin Hood started out as fan fiction and there's 245 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,040 never been anything else. Carrie Vaughn airs of lock 246 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:51,320 Loxlet so and then it goes into first of all, that beautiful W, 247 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,560 which is very fucking vibey. Like this is the way to make it 248 00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:56,520 like a game vibey. There's not a ton of art on this 249 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:01,320 page, right, but the West in that kind of like medieval giant 250 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,960 like draw like very fancy W vibes for days, right? 251 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,880 The Sherwood, the illustrations at the top and and the otherwise 252 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,560 they pronounce. Loxley so, but just throwing it 253 00:14:10,560 --> 00:14:14,560 out there, you think? Oh, that's AY, not AT you are. 254 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:16,680 I kept being like that's so close to Locksley. 255 00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:19,200 I wonder why it's different. But I kept reading that as AT. 256 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:22,760 So yeah, there's two paragraphs. There's a bunch of paragraphs 257 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,480 here on this page. The 1st 2 are about yeah, the 258 00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,080 mythology of like a cursory scratching in the forest floor 259 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,160 shows England's mythological outlaws. 260 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,720 They occupy this and that. It's great. 261 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:34,120 It's a lot of really cool information. 262 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,040 I love that there's a sense of like we're going to do this like 263 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,920 kind of like magical fun Robin Hood game, but we're going to 264 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,760 make sure you get Robin Hood and like where it came from and 265 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,120 stuff. Really great information about 266 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,680 all of that here. We're not going to read it. 267 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,160 I highly recommend you do though. 268 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,280 It definitely gives you a lot more context for Robin Hood, 269 00:14:50,280 --> 00:14:53,080 which is cool. And then there is section I am 270 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,520 going to read here. It says share. 271 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,480 What is game about outlaws like the earliest outlaw stories. 272 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,800 It takes place in an England of chivalric romance. 273 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,760 So the outlaws may encounter aristocratic sorcerer's and 274 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,000 mythical beasts or weird strange magic of their own. 275 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,520 Like the later outlaw stories, the outlaws are not waiting for 276 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:11,640 a true king to return and grant pardons, but have gone to the 277 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,480 woods to pursue justice and rescue people from predatory 278 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,960 powers that be. As you make your journey back to 279 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,200 the forest of medieval England, I encourage you to keep the 280 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,840 following principles in mind. I both like like these and have 281 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,560 some questions about them. So there are a number of 282 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:28,120 principles here. It says be an outlaw, fight for 283 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:32,000 something and dabble with magic. Ditch the ethnic conflicts and 284 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,320 fuck the true king. Not in the fun way. 285 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,280 So first one is be an outlaw. It says even a sheriff never 286 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:42,520 declared your character a wolf's head. 287 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,040 You do not need to worry about what a typical medieval villager 288 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,920 aristocrat would be. Basically this is saying like 289 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,000 play what you want. The forest is too grand a place 290 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,080 for plate. Society's anxieties about 291 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,000 sexuality, gender and propriety, propriety. 292 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,360 Make your character whomever you want to be. 293 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,520 I like that. I don't know if it's be an 294 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,000 outlaw though. Like when I read Be an Outlaw, I 295 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,560 thought I was going to talk about being an outlaw. 296 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,960 I think this could be more of like be the outlaw you want to 297 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:05,240 be kind of thing. You know what I mean? 298 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,240 It's being. This, it's being your character, 299 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:08,520 Outlaw for this, you know? Yeah. 300 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,680 Fight for something is great, basically like struggle for 301 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,520 justice, fight for revenge. Just have a goal whether it's 302 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:19,000 your character or your bands and make it big and wild and and 303 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,240 strive for it which is great. Dabble with magic. 304 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,200 It says that traditional stories don't really have a ton of 305 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,080 magic, but who gives a shit. Later stories do so include 306 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:31,160 curses, prophecies, spells, craft, all that kind of stuff in 307 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,560 there. Then the last two, it says ditch 308 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,680 the ethnic cleansing. The Saxon Norman conflict was 309 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,280 tacked onto Robin Hood legend and LL tradition in the 19th 310 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:40,520 century. It was not originally part of 311 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,880 it, it says. Ditch the ethnic conflict. 312 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,480 Conflict. Also, don't do ethnic cleansing. 313 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:49,720 Just throw that out there. If you're out there doing 314 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:55,240 athletic cleansing right now, you shouldn't ditch the ethnic 315 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,800 conflicts and then fuck the true king. 316 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,080 Waiting for King Richard to return was a very late addition 317 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,720 to the Robin Hood legend. In the original ballads, kings 318 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,040 were occasionally useful and that was about it. 319 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,319 So my only issue is those last two aren't really principles, 320 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,119 they're more just like information. 321 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,280 I would have not. I think ditching the ethnic 322 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,000 conflict is a principle of this game because it's like kind of a 323 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,040 major story beat in a lot of those stories apparently, 324 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:25,040 apparently tacked on and later year I was born in later years 325 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:26,480 than that. So yeah, again. 326 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,520 This is being super pedantic. I think these are fine. 327 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,280 I think this you could have just done like don't worry about 328 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,640 history because like the ditch the ethnic conflicts 1 is one 329 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:36,480 line. So like it could have just been 330 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,120 like one principle that was just like don't worry about history 331 00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:41,160 and then put these two together. Like it would have been the same 332 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:42,240 thing. It doesn't make much of a 333 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,080 difference, but that's one thing I noticed. 334 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,880 But talking about no, we won't talk about layout on this page. 335 00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,000 We will in a second, though, we're going to get to I just 336 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:59,720 realized I don't have water right, never making a character. 337 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:06,400 So gosh, when do you want to talk about the thing that let's 338 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,840 just do it now. So making a character is the 339 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:10,880 next chapter. And we've talked about this a 340 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,360 bunch of times. We've said this before. 341 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,520 We're going to get the entirety of making a character right 342 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,120 here. And then we're going to get the 343 00:18:17,120 --> 00:18:20,400 next chapter is equipping your band. 344 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,960 And then we're going to get to the rules of the game. 345 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,440 And then we're going to get to the rules of the game. 346 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,440 So the first place where you're going to find out what the core 347 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:33,240 dice mechanic of the game is, if you haven't read the edge page, 348 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,280 and similar to Roseville, it's on the back of the book, which 349 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,240 in the PDF is the very last page. 350 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,200 The core dice mechanic that you get from the game, the skill 351 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,920 check and saves. The first time you know that 352 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,880 it's like a two to six dice game, as far as I'm aware, is 353 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,160 page 12 after the entirety of character creation. 354 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,920 Yeah, yeah, after the entirety of character creation and after 355 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,680 even equipping your war band and equipment and everything, then 356 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,600 you get to that. So which is fine. 357 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:00,440 It's a Zine, so it's a little bit less. 358 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,920 But my issue and the reason we talk about this all the time is 359 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,600 the way we do the show. We do it as if we just got the 360 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,920 book and we read it from one cover to the end and then we 361 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,440 talk about it. And the reason I think it's 362 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,080 important that we, we have settled on is that doing 363 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:18,120 something like in that little intro section, maybe there's 364 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,360 like a couple lines of like this is a 2D6 game or you're going to 365 00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:22,680 add skills and da, da, da, da, da. 366 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,680 It gives you context during character creation for like why 367 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:26,680 you're doing the things that you're doing. 368 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,240 Because otherwise what's going to happen is you're going to 369 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,360 read through character creation, we're going to read their 370 00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:32,760 equipment, and then you're going to read the rules and then go 371 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,560 back to character creation to reread character creation so 372 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,840 that you have more contacts to be like, oh, This is why we did 373 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:42,320 this, This is why we did that. So again, in Zenes it's not as 374 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:45,960 important, but I think it just flows better, especially when 375 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,600 there's so many games to play. If sometimes reading it, yeah, 376 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,720 context for when you're talking about character creation, but 377 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,520 also like if people bounce off because they're like, wait a 378 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:54,680 minute, like how do I play the game? 379 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,280 Like anything that makes it a little bit easier to flow from 380 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:58,960 beginning to end of the book, I think is super helpful. 381 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:03,240 So I think just a mention of the dice mechanics prior to the 382 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,240 entirety of character creation or like right at the beginning 383 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,480 of character creation would always be a good thing. 384 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:09,280 And that doesn't have this in here. 385 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:10,400 But again, it's pretty simple system. 386 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,440 So it's not big a deal. It's just something pointing out 387 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,560 like in general more than necessarily just this. 388 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,760 But when you start Sherwood is a life path system for creating 389 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,960 player characters. Where do we know that from? 390 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,520 A life path. Yeah, like the whole. 391 00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:33,480 I mean, I'm, I'm thinking Traveller. 392 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:38,800 So yeah, Traveller. I I I love that this is like AI 393 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,280 didn't use. My Traveller mug today. 394 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,160 I almost did. I wanted the big mug, you know. 395 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:43,920 Oh, I should. Have got my traveller mug this. 396 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,320 Tiny Cat believes in you. Oh, don't you? 397 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:47,920 Isn't your cat name Tiny Cat? My cat. 398 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,360 Is named Tiny Cat. You were correct. 399 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,160 Did you? Find that or did you have that 400 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,640 made you just found one that had your name cat? 401 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,440 Your cat's name on it? Yeah. 402 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,800 They like thrift store. Yeah. 403 00:20:58,200 --> 00:20:59,280 And it happened. To be your name. 404 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:00,320 That's cool. That works out. 405 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,800 So big fan, big fan of the way that the careers work. 406 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,080 We'll get to that. But I love this love. 407 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,200 I mean Traveller is some of the best character creation in 408 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,840 tabletop role-playing games for anyone. 409 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,680 That's like, we know so much more now and games are so much 410 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,120 better. I'm like go back to like 411 00:21:15,120 --> 00:21:17,760 19/20/17. Classic travel war and read it 412 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,400 and then tell me. That again, yeah, it's a, it's a 413 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:25,760 bad take, but anyway, so there's a character checklist here. 414 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,920 Love that, love that right off the bat. 415 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,440 So character checklist, describe where your outlaws, where your 416 00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,960 outlaws grew up, roll your outlaws attributes, choose 2 417 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,440 background abilities, come of age and decide what career your 418 00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,480 outlaw had before turning to outlawry. 419 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,640 If your character was not young, not a young outlaw on Notorious 420 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,680 criminal, determine the trouble they sent your outlaw into 421 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,600 Sherwood. Name two people that your 422 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,560 character knows as connections who might provide help and with 423 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,840 the other players at the table, determine the resources and 424 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:57,360 legend of your outlaw band and choose a mission in code. 425 00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,800 Easy peasy, straightforward, just like that. 426 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,120 So describe your character. Basically it says it's a name in 427 00:22:05,120 --> 00:22:07,280 a home. You pick a name in a home and 428 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:08,560 your outlaw can be from anywhere. 429 00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:11,200 You don't have to keep it to English Midlands in northern 430 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,440 England. It says you can do Normandy, 431 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,400 France, German kingdoms, Africa, Persia, India, whatever the fuck 432 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,520 you want. You can be an outlaw, just do it 433 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:24,640 up language. Everyone is assumed to speak 434 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,160 English, and despite the fact that a lot of people weren't 435 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,880 literate, it is assumed that you are. 436 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,800 Because we don't need that extra extra bullshit in the game. 437 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,000 You do not. So no, this is not the game, you 438 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:37,400 know. Exactly. 439 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,640 And then gender and sexuality. Your character is not limited to 440 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,080 heterosexual relationships, social assumptions about gender 441 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:45,200 roles, the gender they were assigned at birth, or their 442 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,080 society's binary assumptions of gender identity. 443 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:55,000 Just like Roseville, this game is very like LGBT plus forward. 444 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,080 Just again, be an outlaw. Be the, be the, be the change 445 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,000 you want to see in the world. You know what I mean? 446 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,760 Be whatever character you want to be, however you define that 447 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:12,200 and have fun with it. Obviously there are attributes. 448 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,680 I'm just going to read the rules language for this. 449 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:16,720 Roll 286. Do you want to, do you want to 450 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:20,880 make a character as we go do that, you bring up a dice roller 451 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,360 and then that's 10 seconds. I'm going to get water. 452 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,760 OK, I'm pulling up a dice roller. 453 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:30,640 Everyone who's still here with us grabbing a pen, still using 454 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,440 my, you know, Sharpie S gel pens. 455 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,080 I still highly recommend them. Best pen ever. 456 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,720 What notebook is this? Perfect. 457 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,320 Honestly I disagree because we all know that the best pin ever 458 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,360 is the .38 Pilot G twos. Any of this mean? 459 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,200 OK, there we go. So. 460 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,360 What you're going to do is you have 4 attributes and you're 461 00:23:54,360 --> 00:23:59,120 going to roll them in order SO2D6 four times. 462 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,800 And as you do that, I'm going to say what those attributes are. 463 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,200 We'll go over a little bit more in a second, but Endurance, 464 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,480 Luck, willpower and Wits are going to be the four attributes 465 00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:12,760 you use. You're going to roll them 2D6 466 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:18,120 four times in order, then reroll the lowest attribute, ignoring 467 00:24:18,120 --> 00:24:20,760 the new result if it's lower. It's very generous, Richard, 468 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,440 very generous. And there says and swap any two 469 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,760 of them. I, I, I would put in you can 470 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,760 swap any two of them. The way it's rating, it kind of 471 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,680 sounds like you you're supposed to. 472 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:33,520 Yeah. But so you could just say, and 473 00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,440 you can swap any two of them. I think there's plenty of room 474 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,360 on the page for that, but I definitely would. 475 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,400 Well I rolled A5 for wits and that was my lowest 1 and I 476 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,520 rerolled it and that's 10. So there you go, you got. 477 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,960 Smarter so. So what are your stats? 478 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,000 Straight down I have. Endurance 8. 479 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:53,800 Luck 7. Will 10. 480 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,600 Wits 10. Oh, so Will Tin. 481 00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,920 As if you weren't going to be a magic boy already. 482 00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:02,200 Yeah. Well, I rolled the five. 483 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:04,280 I was like, that was like, Oh yeah, re roll 1. 484 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,240 So I re rolled it. Yeah, like, there we go. 485 00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:09,760 Attributes may decrease during a game session from damage or 486 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,600 spinning them, but cannot permanently increase. 487 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,800 I like this. Your attributes you roll when 488 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:14,640 you start. That's you. 489 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,440 You're a, you're a grown ass adult human being. 490 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,080 You're, you're not going to get smarter, You're not going to get 491 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,760 more endurance. You're going to get skills, 492 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,760 which which I like. I like that your attributes that 493 00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,400 you start with are are what you are with. 494 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,080 And that's the thing I like about it. 495 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,320 This is just like, yeah, that stays. 496 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,640 That's who you are as a person, fully formed. 497 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:40,960 Well, and. Also why I think that the IT is 498 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,240 a little bit I did say it was a little bit generous, like being 499 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,320 able to reroll the lowest and then swap to if you want, let 500 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,240 you make the character you want knowing that your attributes are 501 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,280 never going to get higher. So yeah, so then we go over the 502 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,680 four stats, so endurance, as I said, so each there's a a great 503 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,880 looking page here and we can talk about the layout a little 504 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,360 bit on yeah and why I like it too. 505 00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:05,800 So it gives you the four stats, it gives you a little line about 506 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,760 each, and then gives you three things associated with that 507 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:08,840 stat. It's a great page. 508 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:12,120 So for example, endurance, it says ability to withstand injury 509 00:26:12,120 --> 00:26:14,520 and exhaustion damage. Any attack that deals damage 510 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,640 comes from your endurance unless otherwise specified. 511 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,840 Exhaustion when your outlaw fails and archery, athletics, or 512 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,440 melee skill check. You may spend 3 endurance to 513 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:24,920 improve the world by three and then psychic exhaustion once 514 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,080 your outlaws willpower drops to zero. 515 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,880 You use endurance for the cost of our intelligent magic 516 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,480 rituals. So we're not going to go over 517 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:37,400 all four of these, but basically one of the core parts of the 518 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,480 game that we're getting through character duration in the rules, 519 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,560 which again, if rules were before could be set a little bit 520 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,320 different, is your attributes are what they are when they 521 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:50,960 start and can get lower during play, because obviously when you 522 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,640 take damage, your endurance is going to get lower. 523 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,760 We just learned that as you read like willpower, if you spend 524 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:00,280 willpower to improve roles and stuff, you can spend a lot of 525 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:04,560 your attributes. You can spend them as points to 526 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,480 adjust roles, which is really, which is great. 527 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,360 I love that. I do. 528 00:27:10,360 --> 00:27:13,040 I do think later when we get to the rules, it doesn't really 529 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,640 ever like spell that out in the rules section. 530 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:19,480 Yeah. The only rules language part 531 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,160 that talks about any of this for the most part is here in 532 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:30,040 character creation. So having it like when you're 533 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,880 going over skill checks and saving throws, like going back 534 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,440 to this, unless I'm completely wrong, get to it. 535 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,040 Maybe I am. And talking more about how much 536 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,800 that's impactful in the game is huge because this is a core 537 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,160 mechanic of the game. It's not just adding your skills 538 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,680 to your roles, but like adjusting your roles with all of 539 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:47,880 your stuff. If I'm wrong, we'll look at it 540 00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:49,000 later. I think you might. 541 00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,800 And then, yeah. And then background abilities is 542 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,560 at the bottom of this page. And let's talk about one of the 543 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,880 things I like about the layout here, we'll talk about a little 544 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:03,400 bit more anyway, is the way that the layout uses both A2 column 545 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,800 and three column throughout is. I love it. 546 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:11,040 I think it does a really fantastic job of breaking up the 547 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:15,080 page in a beautiful way. But not only that, they do this 548 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:16,200 thing. We're going to talk about 549 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,160 background abilities in a little bit, the Arcane talent. 550 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,960 So there's two in the left column, two in the middle column 551 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:24,080 and one in the right column, But the third one in the middle 552 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,320 column actually fills the second and third column. 553 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,760 So it breaks across visually. This tickles my brain in ways 554 00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:34,720 that just make just it's so good. 555 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,880 And we get to tables later with their table wrap around tables. 556 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,160 It's so beautiful, like just the way they fit everything on the 557 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:42,920 page in a way that looks so nice. 558 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,640 For those in podcast land, you just got to look at this page. 559 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,920 It's I don't know what it is about it, but the layout, I was 560 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,440 just a guess. This is this is so good the 561 00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,000 layout. Finish what you're saying. 562 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:54,680 I was gonna say the. Font choices throughout. 563 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:59,120 I don't know what the the Capital Endurance Willpower Luck 564 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,400 font is. That's like, it's capital, it's 565 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,000 sans serif. It's a little, it's got a little 566 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,560 extra spacing like in between all the letters. 567 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:07,160 I don't know what about it. I love it. 568 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,800 And they use the same thing for damage for like headers and 569 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,600 stuff. I don't know what it is about 570 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,000 the difference between the sans serif bolded kind of like wide 571 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,720 mixed with like the serif normal font throughout. 572 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,200 It looks so nice and so clean without doing like way too much. 573 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:24,160 It doesn't look super bolded because it's got like space in 574 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,720 between the letters. I don't know what it is, I just 575 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:29,760 it gets me. The layout is Traveler E yeah, 576 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,440 there's definitely a couple things that that are modern 577 00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,000 layout decisions that are good. But yeah, definitely Traveler 578 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,360 esque layout. Now it also has, I mean, it's 579 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,280 usually too common, but also has like where it goes from 2:00 to 580 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:46,120 like a three column. But this does it a little bit 581 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,920 better and also has more like page head art, you know? 582 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,000 Yeah. It's so good so background 583 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,720 abilities so you choose to it character creation. 584 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,200 Each character has 2 background abilities to show the talent, 585 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,280 skills, natural abilities they pick before turning 18. 586 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,520 I so I would just so there's two sentences here that could easily 587 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:07,240 just be written as one. It says choose, choose two at 588 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,080 characterization, each characterize 2 background 589 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:10,400 abilities. Sounds a little bit redundant. 590 00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:14,680 It could just say choose two, you know, or each character 591 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,440 chooses 2 background abilities at characterization that show 592 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:18,960 the talents and skills. Like you could just be combined 593 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:20,480 into one. It just feels like you say the 594 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,960 same thing twice there, but there are 1234. 595 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,960 There's I wrote notes. There are 66 abilities, So 596 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,720 there's aristocrat, Jack of all trades, dabbler, heroic ability, 597 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,760 arcane talent and background skills. 598 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,800 Obviously we're the two we're going to read are the two that 599 00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:37,800 you pick, one of which is obviously going to be arcane 600 00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:38,880 talent. But what's? 601 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,560 Obviously going to be Jack of all trades. 602 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,640 Such a good one it's. Such a fucking good one, 603 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:46,600 especially when we get to, like, playing the game and you realize 604 00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:49,640 that, like, if you don't have a skill, you you just have 605 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:53,320 disadvantage on it, Yeah. Every, everything, yeah, yeah. 606 00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:56,640 So Jack of all trades. Most characters have 607 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,160 disadvantage on roles which they don't have a relevant skill. 608 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,840 You don't. And then arcane talent, choose 609 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:05,200 one arcane talent and take one in skill with it. 610 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:07,280 So true. Seeing illusion, necromancy or 611 00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,240 pyromancy, you can take this twice to improve your arcane 612 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,360 talent skill to two or choose a second arcane talent. 613 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:14,800 So which one? Which one are you going to start 614 00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:19,960 with? Let's do one I normally wouldn't 615 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,120 do. Let's do pyromancy. 616 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:26,680 Interesting. Obviously you know which one I 617 00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:28,640 would pick. Yeah, I mean least. 618 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,640 Shocking thing ever. Yeah. 619 00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:38,200 So background skills is also another good one. 620 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,800 Background skills, you choose two skills of the list listed 621 00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,440 here and you can take it twice if you want. 622 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,880 So you could really not if you wanted to in the way this game 623 00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:49,960 works. And one thing that I really love 624 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,160 about it, especially with the career stuff, is you could just 625 00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:57,600 not go with a career and just be just like the everyman. 626 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,080 Like when we get down there, if you go like young Outlaw, Jack 627 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,640 of all trades and background skills, you're just you can do a 628 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,360 little bit of everything all the time. 629 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,160 You're the most useful. Person who's ever lived, yeah. 630 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,080 It's it's really good. It's really interesting and it's 631 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,200 cool the way it all ties in together, so. 632 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,080 I I, when we get to it, I'll talk about how I like it, But I 633 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,760 do like that if you don't have a skill, you have disadvantage of 634 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:20,880 thing like I do. Like you're able to make a 635 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:24,520 specialized character and like, if your character, like other 636 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,360 characters won't necessarily be able to be as good at what 637 00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,160 you're good at. So you can feel like your 638 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,200 character's good at a thing, you know? 639 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,200 Instead of everyone can do up temp to everything all the time, 640 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:35,800 you know? Yeah. 641 00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,600 I feel like I have a different take on that and we'll talk 642 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:39,680 about it. I guess we'll take that. 643 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,960 Yeah. Yeah, so this is another page 644 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,800 that I think just tickles my brain in just so in. 645 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,440 It's so good, it's so good. So I zoomed out to the whole 646 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:52,840 thing. But so at the top has this 647 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:58,080 beautiful illustration of like a like a path kind of going into 648 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,280 like a little town. It's got a tree, it's stunning. 649 00:33:02,240 --> 00:33:03,640 And then it says turning 18 on the top there. 650 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:06,640 So basically it starts out, this is not a two column page now 651 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,160 it's a whole a whole page, but it still breaks into 3 columns 652 00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:17,120 because there's this table to the side that has like text wrap 653 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:18,800 around it. And then below it is another 654 00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:22,080 table that's all the way across. And just every way that that is 655 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:25,400 put together throughout this whole section here, it just like 656 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,400 you don't really see these tables with like text. 657 00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,280 A lot of times you'll see like half a blank page with like 658 00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:32,640 tables all stuffed onto the side. 659 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:35,840 It's just, it feels like it fills a page in a beautiful way 660 00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:37,640 without feeling crowded. Like at all. 661 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,760 Yes. The table still stands out on 662 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,480 its own like this is a good way to do this. 663 00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:43,640 It's. Gorgeous. 664 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:46,320 So turning 18 is turning a career. 665 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,560 Especially as like a Zine where you're really trying to like 666 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,840 make what you need fit within like a certain amount of space, 667 00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,400 you know, and you want to keep the page count account like not 668 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:56,960 out of hand. Like this is a great way to like 669 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,400 take up space. And we often complain about how 670 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,080 much white space there is and stuff so. 671 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,720 Yeah, we do. That's the thing that we do all 672 00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:06,040 the time. We complain a lot. 673 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,440 That's what the show is the. Show is just complaining about 674 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:12,000 how much we like a thing, yeah. Like we love this, but here's 675 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,400 the thing. So as you're outlaw, so turning 676 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:18,199 18 and starting your career, so there are 6 careers that you can 677 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,560 and then a seventh one which is young outlaw, which basically 678 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,920 means like you know, you dropped out of high school and just 679 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,120 started, you know, you hit the life. 680 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,760 So as your outlaw turns 18 and goes through character creation, 681 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,199 that will have a chance to improve their attributes and 682 00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:32,880 gain skills. When your Outlaw gains a skill 683 00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:34,679 for the first time, it becomes one. 684 00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:38,239 Each time they gain the skill after that, add one. 685 00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:41,280 When your Outlaw turns 18, they can either start an Outlaw's 686 00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,760 life despite being poorly prepared or begin their first 687 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:45,520 career. So pick 1. 688 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,360 And so how do you want to do careers? 689 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,440 I feel like we should look at 1:00, but Young Outlaw doesn't 690 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,679 really fit. So do you want to just kind of 691 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,960 look at young? Outlaw and then look at the one 692 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:57,280 I pick. OK. 693 00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:58,480 Oh yeah, 'cause you're going to pick 1. 694 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,160 So all right, young outlaw. So basically use this table only 695 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,040 if your character is going to begin out all life at 18. 696 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,680 So with most characters this one you get starting skills. 697 00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,280 Lucky breaks are Hard Knocks and wolf's head are the three things 698 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,120 you get and then there's a table for that. 699 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:16,840 And then each table will have each outlaw has a a thing on the 700 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:18,240 bottom for like accusations and stuff. 701 00:35:18,240 --> 00:35:21,280 So your starting skills for young outlaw you gain thievery 702 00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,520 and one other skill from a list, lucky breaker Hard Knocks. 703 00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:28,600 So you roll 2D6 if your outlaw has luck, 8 plus add 2 to the 704 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:32,240 roll on an 8 plus on the roll, roll on lucky breaks. 705 00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:33,720 Otherwise you roll on Hard Knocks. 706 00:35:33,720 --> 00:35:37,520 So some things on there are lucky breaks. 707 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,800 Basically you get more skills and Hard Knocks you get 708 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:42,680 different kind of skills.

And then on this table you can 899 00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,440 also roll for name. Where does this? 900 00:46:05,120 --> 00:46:07,760 As always, if you get a skill, you already have increased by 1. 901 00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:12,040 So you you name, so you're wanted, you name the person who 902 00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,680 accused you and the and the official who sentenced to you. 903 00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,240 So that's two NPCS. And then you also pick up 904 00:46:17,240 --> 00:46:20,000 forestry. So that's crazy. 905 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:25,000 You have so much you're you are a very well versed 23 year old. 906 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,320 I know, I guess. I mean, you died like 35 in this 907 00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,480 in this time period. So you're you're an old man. 908 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:35,240 Really, you're just about an old maid, so that's cool. 909 00:46:35,240 --> 00:46:36,200 So that's most of your characters. 910 00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:40,680 There are some sample names for your troubles, so there are. 911 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:44,600 What is it, 12345?

They them a commoner. 914 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,280 Name is so funny to say. Drogues Talifer. 915 00:46:55,680 --> 00:46:58,040 It's good. A commoner turned King's 916 00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:02,160 assassin, Drogues is a master of poisons and disguises with an 917 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,440 amoral disregard for innocence bystanders. 918 00:47:04,720 --> 00:47:06,040 Great. These are all great. 919 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,360 The all of the NPCS listed here are fantastic. 920 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:13,960 Old Will Philip de Pavley. So those are your troubles. 921 00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,000 That's what you do. And then you have connections. 922 00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,400 So beyond Sherwood, name two people who are close to you. 923 00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:22,080 Friends, colleagues, mentors, paramours, dependents, siblings, 924 00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,400 colleagues or others. And that's your character. 925 00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:25,520 And what's your name? Oh. 926 00:47:28,120 --> 00:47:33,000 Fuck, I have one, that's for sure. 927 00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,040 Usually I'm the guy who jumps on name really quickly, but I'm 928 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:37,760 from Blanken today, so yeah, you're. 929 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:39,600 You're Jimbo Baggins. I'm. 930 00:47:39,720 --> 00:47:42,120 Jimbo Baggins. So. 931 00:47:42,240 --> 00:47:45,280 So run through your character real quick, top to bottom, yeah? 932 00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:50,120 Absolutely. So for so, I'm a Guild trader. 933 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:55,040 I was a Guild trader for several years and I have the Jack of all 934 00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,200 trades skill. I've to have the arcane talents 935 00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:04,400 of pyromancy and illusion. I have sailing the knowledge of 936 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:09,520 black powder and forestry. Very nice, Very, very nice. 937 00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,600 There's no character sheet in this book, correct? 938 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:16,240 I don't think so. I did not look for it, to be 939 00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:18,320 quite honest with you, but no, there's not. 940 00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:25,640 OK, I just want to. I just want to grab it real 941 00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:29,400 quick and show people because it's a nice little sheet. 942 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,920 You can it, it comes with the PDF. 943 00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,560 So it's not like you don't get one like you, you get it 944 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:40,160 whatever you get APDF, wherever you might get that PDF. 945 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:46,920 So this is a character sheet so you can see what that is. 946 00:48:48,720 --> 00:48:51,360 Boom, we'll just blow that up right there. 947 00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:56,680 So this is actually 2 sheets. So the sheets are pretty small. 948 00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:58,600 So it says name and pronouns at the top. 949 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,720 You get your 4 attributes, which and it has like the A slash 950 00:49:01,720 --> 00:49:04,280 between the two because again, your your attributes are reduced 951 00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:07,320 as you go through play. It's got your background 952 00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:12,320 abilities. You can just check 1230. 953 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,160 Interesting. There's only four background 954 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:19,080 abilities listed here. They don't list the, they don't 955 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:27,640 list the Arcane talent, which I guess I don't know why. 956 00:49:28,440 --> 00:49:35,960 And then they don't list Dabbler. 957 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,200 So Dabbler and Arcane talent are not on the character sheet, 958 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,520 which is interesting. I mean earlier yeah. 959 00:49:43,640 --> 00:49:46,320 And then per your career, if you get a skill once. 960 00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:47,800 So this might be an earlier version. 961 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,520 I might need to just re download the new one because in my 962 00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:53,320 Dropbox, and I apologize Richard, if I'm giving bad 963 00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:55,840 information here. I believe in my Dropbox it says 964 00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,160 like version O one or something. So I might have mixed like old 965 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,600 versions and new versions and not downloaded the newest 966 00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:02,520 version. Oops. 967 00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:07,240 So I'll have to check that out at some point and make sure that 968 00:50:07,240 --> 00:50:08,760 we know that. So it says character sheet 969 00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:10,680 version 0. So there's a good chance that 970 00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:12,920 I'm just not looking at the right character sheet. 971 00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:15,280 So, so don't listen to me. It's a nice sheet though. 972 00:50:15,280 --> 00:50:16,920 It's got everything you need. And this is straight. 973 00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:18,560 It's such a straightforward thing that you pretty much need 974 00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,560 to check boxes or just write down skill lists and then you 975 00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:25,600 have what you need. So that is through character 976 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:27,080 creation. Then we get to creating and 977 00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:30,400 equipping your outlaw band. So this is going to talk about 978 00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:34,240 equipment and stuff like that. I do have some questions again. 979 00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:36,680 Now we're going to equip our entire band and still not know 980 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,000 how to play the game, which is again, but we'll get to that. 981 00:50:39,720 --> 00:50:43,440 I do love the header here again, creating your outlaw band and 982 00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:47,440 then outlaw band isn't that beautiful typeface that's very 983 00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:49,480 fucking vibey. It's got some like arrows going 984 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:54,720 down the the this is such a perfect example of a gorgeous, 985 00:50:54,720 --> 00:50:57,280 gorgeous, gorgeous game that has basically no art in it 986 00:50:57,280 --> 00:50:59,520 whatsoever. Just by using a couple piece of 987 00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:01,880 spot art, some cool fonts and stuff like that and, and a 988 00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,800 beautiful layout. Like if this, if it was like 989 00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,080 this for 200 pages and we did it as a book, I would still give it 990 00:51:08,080 --> 00:51:10,720 super high scores because this is when people like, oh, you 991 00:51:10,720 --> 00:51:13,800 can't like without art and books and blah, blah, blah. 992 00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:15,880 Like fuck off. Like this is how you do it. 993 00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:17,480 This is how you make it interesting. 994 00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:19,920 Very. Good, yeah. 995 00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:23,720 So living in Sherwood with other outlaws, your character doesn't 996 00:51:23,720 --> 00:51:25,480 have personal or individual equipment. 997 00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:29,400 Basically, once you and your friends have created outlaws, 998 00:51:29,680 --> 00:51:33,240 roll 4D6 as a group and divide the dice results as you wish 999 00:51:33,240 --> 00:51:36,720 between your cruise 2 scores, resources, and legends. 1000 00:51:36,720 --> 00:51:46,720 So roll 46 and find out what your total dice pool is. 11 Wow, 1001 00:51:47,200 --> 00:51:50,960 that's. It oh the 4D6 on a 4D6 yeah I. 1002 00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:57,960 Rolled A1A1A4 and A5, so let's. I'm going to roll 46 and I 1003 00:51:57,960 --> 00:52:00,200 rolled a six. I rolled a 16. 1004 00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:01,560 So it's not like it's that much better. 1005 00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:03,840 But no, I mean, you're fucked. Yeah, you get 11. 1006 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:05,360 So. So let's talk about resources. 1007 00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:07,400 Rolled A22 there, how about that? 1008 00:52:07,960 --> 00:52:09,040 You just don't. Sure. 1009 00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:10,560 There you go. We'll we'll let it go. 1010 00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:14,080 A 22 out of 24. Yeah, I roll a little bit better 1011 00:52:14,080 --> 00:52:17,920 than. 11/5. 566 The dice roll on Google is very. 1012 00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:19,040 It's why I don't use it all the time. 1013 00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:20,280 It's very I. Don't. 1014 00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:23,320 That's why I use this most of the time. 1015 00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,680 We get it, you got cool stuff you got. 1016 00:52:25,720 --> 00:52:27,560 Cool stuff. I actually only use this. 1017 00:52:28,240 --> 00:52:30,000 I try to only use it for like space games. 1018 00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,520 So because then I feel like I'm like on a computer. 1019 00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,920 For those in podcast land, watch the show to see what I just 1020 00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:39,760 pulled up. So resources and legend are your 1021 00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:43,120 two stats, right? So under resources, there are 1022 00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:45,440 there are a number of ways that you can spend those resources. 1023 00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:50,480 So disguises, hiding places, equipment, room and board and 1024 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,480 ammunition. What's funny is when I was 1025 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,360 reading this, I was like, you know what? 1026 00:52:55,400 --> 00:52:57,080 I don't know why it's called room and board. 1027 00:52:57,320 --> 00:53:00,040 And I'm like of an age where I should know by now. 1028 00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:02,120 So I looked it up and you know what room and board means. 1029 00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,280 I've always been like, obviously I know board means food, but 1030 00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:06,640 why? I looked it up because you sit. 1031 00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:10,000 At the board and eat. Sure. 1032 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:15,000 Yeah, because it says board refers to food provided the use 1033 00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:19,160 of the term may derive from the English word Bord board. 1034 00:53:19,160 --> 00:53:20,760 It's an old English word meaning table. 1035 00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:23,320 So yeah, board, it's probably derived from the word for table. 1036 00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,280 Yeah, but yeah. But it's one of those things 1037 00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,440 where it's like, sure, it's the table, but like because it's a 1038 00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,600 board, but also it's not really because it's a board, because 1039 00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:32,680 board is not the origin of that word. 1040 00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:34,680 It's just similar to the board which tables are made of kind of 1041 00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:38,840 thing, you know, like a RET, you know, so. 1042 00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:43,840 There are. Ways that you can spend, you 1043 00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:45,240 basically spend one resource for things. 1044 00:53:45,240 --> 00:53:47,080 We're not going to talk about a bunch, but just for example, 1045 00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:50,920 though, so like disguises, you spend one resources, one 1046 00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:53,560 resource to convincingly disguise an ally or remember the 1047 00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,760 outlaw band as a guard, aristocrat, commoner, or 1048 00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:58,320 remember the clergy. So that's how you can do it. 1049 00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:02,400 Like you can when you need stuff to do a thing, you can spend 1050 00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:04,400 resources. I like that. 1051 00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:07,080 I think it's fantastic. I definitely, this is basically 1052 00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:10,280 quantum inventory taken to like a crew level, which is really, 1053 00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:13,480 really cool. And then you also get Legend, 1054 00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,840 which is basically like a renowned system, which obviously 1055 00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:17,880 this game should fucking have and I'm so glad it has it. 1056 00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:21,280 So basically you spend your band's Legend score to get 1057 00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:24,320 favors from local towns folks. Especially useful when your 1058 00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:27,240 outlaw needs help and you don't want to risk the consequences of 1059 00:54:27,240 --> 00:54:29,680 skill check because every skill check could have consequences, 1060 00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:31,200 which we'll find out later in the game. 1061 00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:35,360 For each favor your outlaw needs, find someone who might be 1062 00:54:35,360 --> 00:54:38,560 impressed or intimidated by your reputation and spend one point 1063 00:54:38,560 --> 00:54:40,760 of legend. Fantastic. 1064 00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,680 Love it, it's cool. There's a lot more to legend 1065 00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:47,320 than that that you can read on your own, but like, that's a 1066 00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,360 gist of it. So basically you roll and that's 1067 00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:53,000 your total pool, and then you can use resources when you need 1068 00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:55,920 stuff to do things. And then you use a legend when 1069 00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,480 you need favors or actions and stuff from people that can help 1070 00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:03,040 you, which is so cool. Mission and code. 1071 00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:07,840 You have one, it is a thing. So a mission is composed of one 1072 00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:11,080 or two goals, and your code is the outline of a few things that 1073 00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,200 you won't do. Like, you won't rob from the 1074 00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,320 poor, you won't murder children, stuff like that I think. 1075 00:55:16,320 --> 00:55:17,640 You robbed from the poor. Fuck you. 1076 00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:19,960 They're already poor. Fuck you, I mean. 1077 00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:25,120 Yeah, that that we just talked every billionaire out there and 1078 00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,880 then encumbrance and load. We're talking about heavy loads 1079 00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:30,320 now. So, yeah. 1080 00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:37,760 So when you head out on a come on and you have, you can't laugh 1081 00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:38,680 because then I laugh. Yeah. 1082 00:55:38,680 --> 00:55:39,840 Just have to keep going, you know? 1083 00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:43,560 So when you go out on an adventure, you choose which kind 1084 00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:44,680 of load you're going to take with you. 1085 00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:46,560 Stop. It Ryan. 1086 00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,760 Stop. You choose the equipment that 1087 00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,440 you go out with. So clothing your outlaw clothing 1088 00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:54,920 that you're wearing a small coin purse like simple jewelry. 1089 00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:58,000 None of that counts. You do not need to select the 1090 00:55:58,000 --> 00:55:59,840 weapons or other items in advance. 1091 00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:02,760 You can always state that your outlaw has the dagger, sword, Bo 1092 00:56:02,760 --> 00:56:05,320 staff, act, whatever indicated by the equipment that they have 1093 00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:08,160 with them. Otherwise, the cost of an item. 1094 00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:10,800 If the cost of an item is greater than a group's resources 1095 00:56:10,800 --> 00:56:16,440 score at the time you state your outlaw has it, reduce resources 1096 00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,400 by the difference between the score and the cost. 1097 00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:22,720 So I have questions on this because that confuses me 1098 00:56:22,720 --> 00:56:25,320 slightly, but let's talk about the different loads and stuff 1099 00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:26,600 you get. So there's light, medium, and 1100 00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,880 heavy. So with light it assumes your 1101 00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:33,240 outlaw has no armor, a dagger, and one other weapon, which 1102 00:56:33,240 --> 00:56:34,640 again you can just say when you have it. 1103 00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,000 Again, Quantum inventory taken to a very cool level. 1104 00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:40,240 I love this and three other pieces of equipment. 1105 00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:44,400 Light are ideal for most disguises and give advantage on 1106 00:56:44,400 --> 00:56:46,240 checks related to speed or stealth. 1107 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:48,840 Medium is roughly the same except you're wearing leather 1108 00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:50,560 armor. You get a dagger, one other 1109 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:54,240 weapon or a dagger and two other weapons and no armor. 1110 00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:58,760 And then you can carry 3 items or seven with a pack and then a 1111 00:56:58,760 --> 00:57:03,520 medium batch of equipment has makes some disguises difficult. 1112 00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:06,640 And heavy roughly the same except you're wearing chainmail, 1113 00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:09,480 you can switch out some other stuff, and then the heavy load 1114 00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:12,800 makes it difficult for most disguises and you have 1115 00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:14,880 disadvantage on checks related to speed or stealth. 1116 00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:20,280 So basically advantage, nothing, disadvantage, and then the 1117 00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:22,120 different kinds of armor you're wearing. 1118 00:57:22,120 --> 00:57:25,720 This basically this gives you a loan out without having to pick 1119 00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:27,240 it, and you can just pick quantum stuff. 1120 00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:32,760 Then we get to weapons. So weapons are all 2D6 damage, 1121 00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:36,800 3D6 damage, or 46 damage. 2D6 is like daggers and stuff, 3D 1122 00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:40,120 sixes, axes and swords. 40 sixes is long bows your favorite rule? 1123 00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:42,800 Yeah. Oh yeah. 1124 00:57:42,800 --> 00:57:46,040 I love this little rule right here that it's just like very 1125 00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:50,360 tacked on the end. It's an unstrung or unstrung 1126 00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,280 long bows can be used as a quarter staff, which completely 1127 00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:56,320 makes sense. And if this wasn't here, my 1128 00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,240 characters, like, can I unstring the bow and beat people with 1129 00:57:58,240 --> 00:57:59,320 them? Like, yeah, absolutely. 1130 00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,640 But I love that it's in here because it's just like a little 1131 00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:03,480 nugget of kind of like realism, you know? 1132 00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:06,880 I do like the line. I really enjoyed this, though. 1133 00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:08,480 But it's. A little things in the systems 1134 00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:11,800 that are fantastic, obviously we like, we like light systems, we 1135 00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:14,200 like streamline stuff. But like if all you do is pair 1136 00:58:14,200 --> 00:58:17,600 it down to like the very bare minimum, like there's nothing 1137 00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:19,360 fun or interesting. That's a lot of things with like 1138 00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:21,720 older games where it's like that doesn't make any fucking sense, 1139 00:58:21,720 --> 00:58:25,080 but it's fun. So when we get these like 1 1140 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:27,240 little rules and it's like, yeah, that's the fucking shit. 1141 00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:29,880 That's the shit. There's also range weapons. 1142 00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,920 They exist, they're here, there's rules, there's armor. 1143 00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:35,640 And basically it's just damage reduction. 1144 00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,600 So Gammas on a leather reduces by two, chamber reduces by 4 1145 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:40,200 Shields. This is my favorite way that 1146 00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:42,760 Shields work in any game ever. Like if I have Shields in the 1147 00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:44,840 game then I might be working on. This is exactly how they work. 1148 00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:47,720 So basically your outlaw can choose to carry a shield. 1149 00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:51,360 The wielder can use a shield both as AD 6 damage weapon or to 1150 00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,000 get themselves a saving throw against normal weapon damage 1151 00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:57,200 they might take as a consequence of their own skill check. 1152 00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:00,760 Unless disguised as a soldier or guard, a shield is difficult to 1153 00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,600 ignore blah blah blah. So basically if you do a skill 1154 00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:06,920 check and you're holding a shield, how about if you do a 1155 00:59:06,920 --> 00:59:08,680 skill check and you're not holding a shield? 1156 00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:11,720 You just suffer the consequences and that sucks for you. 1157 00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:15,440 If you are holding a shield, you could have a saving throw to 1158 00:59:15,960 --> 00:59:17,520 save against damage and stuff from Shields. 1159 00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:19,080 And there's actually more shield rules later. 1160 00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:24,040 I like that. I'm personally more of a fan of 1161 00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:26,400 like, if you have, if you suffer the consequence, your actions, 1162 00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:28,200 you just do. But if you're suffering the 1163 00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:31,280 consequences of someone else's actions, you can get a saving 1164 00:59:31,280 --> 00:59:32,320 throw. But this lets you do it for 1165 00:59:32,320 --> 00:59:34,320 yourself too, which I mean, carry a fucking shield. 1166 00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:36,800 It makes sense. Again, a little bit of realism 1167 00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:38,760 in it. Having a shield will save your 1168 00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:43,600 life a lot of times. So equipment and supplies here 1169 00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,720 we're going to get into let's talk about resources again a 1170 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:48,240 little bit. So standard adventuring gear 1171 00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:51,640 cost 5 Lantern, torch oil, 50 foot rope, 10 foot rope, 1172 00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,280 etcetera, etcetera. Quality adventuring gear cost 8 1173 00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:57,040 lock picks, toolkit, unusual materials, above average 1174 00:59:57,040 --> 00:59:59,800 crafting, everything like that. And then room and board. 1175 01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:03,360 It's it's different costs for like bread, luxury shit, stuff 1176 01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:05,120 like that. So my question is. 1177 01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:11,280 So let's say your resources are like 5. 1178 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,720 OK, the way this does it work in such a way that you're like, OK, 1179 01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:20,480 well I want a lock pick, OK. And you just go OK, well lock 1180 01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:23,920 picks cost 8. The difference is 3. 1181 01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:30,120 So now your resources are two. Is that how I'm reading it 1182 01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:31,360 correctly? Because I'm just a little bit 1183 01:00:31,360 --> 01:00:33,680 confused on the way some of this works because like, let's say 1184 01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:38,520 for example, like I want like a like I guess beyond the quantum 1185 01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:40,120 weapons stuff, weapons don't have costs. 1186 01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:42,600 So you can't have any weapons beyond what's in your load. 1187 01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,120 So you're just talking about equipment? 1188 01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:48,560 Yes, that is how I understand to work, yeah. 1189 01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:51,480 So I guess my only question with that is the only things in the 1190 01:00:51,480 --> 01:00:55,000 entire game that have a cost are the standard or quality 1191 01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:59,520 adventuring gear. So as far as resources go, as as 1192 01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:05,000 I read it, those are the only things that you could gain when 1193 01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:10,520 you don't have it because it says the cost of an item is 1194 01:01:10,520 --> 01:01:12,600 greater than your group's resource score at the time you 1195 01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:15,240 state your outlaw has it reduce resources by the difference, 1196 01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:18,040 right. But then we go back up to it 1197 01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,160 talks about resources in an earlier part. 1198 01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:26,240 I don't remember where it talks about resources in an earlier 1199 01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:31,040 part. I don't either. 1200 01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:34,480 Maybe it's in a later part it talks about it again. 1201 01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:38,240 No, Yeah. Because we're already in 1202 01:01:38,240 --> 01:01:40,600 endurance load. So that's, I guess I said like 1203 01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:42,520 that. That confuses me just a tiny bit 1204 01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:45,400 because basically it says like if you ever need something, you 1205 01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:46,640 can just reduce your resource score. 1206 01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:49,040 But the only thing that hasn't cost are these two specific type 1207 01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:50,840 of things. So I my assumption is that you 1208 01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:52,120 can. It's just adventuring gear. 1209 01:01:52,120 --> 01:01:54,840 If you don't have a piece of adventuring gear you need, that 1210 01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:56,240 is. Kind of how I assume it to work 1211 01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:58,240 as well. And standard gear is just like 1212 01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,240 against standard shit like easy peasy stuff. 1213 01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:03,680 And then the quality stuff is, yeah, tool kits, above average 1214 01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:07,040 shit like things that are a little bit more so interesting. 1215 01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:11,800 I like it if that's how it's read, you know, otherwise it 1216 01:02:11,800 --> 01:02:14,480 does say somewhere, and I don't remember, maybe it's in the how 1217 01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:16,720 to play section here that we're going to get to. 1218 01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:18,360 Anything you find doesn't cost resources. 1219 01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:21,520 So that's really just like, fuck, I really need a torch. 1220 01:02:22,080 --> 01:02:25,440 You just have it if it's below your resource score. 1221 01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:30,480 But that's my other question. Like you start with 22, so does 1222 01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:33,000 it stack? Like if I say at one point I 1223 01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:38,000 need lock pick, if it doesn't, you say OK, that cost 8, but 1224 01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:39,520 there's no reduction in your resource. 1225 01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:41,600 If there's no, if it doesn't cost more than what you already 1226 01:02:41,600 --> 01:02:44,520 have. So like 5 minutes later if I say 1227 01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:46,440 lock pick and I that's another eight. 1228 01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,960 Or am I tracking the whole time? Because then what if like 5 1229 01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:52,400 minutes later I say well now I want to find vile and like 1230 01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:56,120 basically if it's not reaching the Max at one time, is it 1231 01:02:56,120 --> 01:02:58,720 reducing? Or is it just you need to track 1232 01:02:58,720 --> 01:03:00,640 and once you go over you start reducing the score? 1233 01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:03,560 Because there's nothing that says like track the resources 1234 01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:05,720 you do up until you go beyond it. 1235 01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:07,840 That is interesting. It really doesn't say track. 1236 01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,560 I mean, my assumption on this was like, when you get these 1237 01:03:10,560 --> 01:03:12,800 things, they're like adventuring your room board that does take 1238 01:03:12,800 --> 01:03:15,520 away from your well, hold on, let me it doesn't. 1239 01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:20,040 Take because it says like at the time you stay, it says if the 1240 01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:22,360 cost of an item is greater than your group's resource score at 1241 01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:25,800 the time you state what your outlaw has, reduce resources by 1242 01:03:25,800 --> 01:03:27,400 the difference between the score and the cost. 1243 01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:29,680 So until you're above your resource score, you're not 1244 01:03:29,680 --> 01:03:31,520 reducing your resource score. Let me reread. 1245 01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:33,920 This one section real quick. So equipment room and board, 1246 01:03:34,400 --> 01:03:37,440 your outlaw may have as many items of equipment as they have 1247 01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:40,560 available in their load, but if one has a cost higher than your 1248 01:03:40,560 --> 01:03:41,960 bands resources, reduced resource. 1249 01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:45,720 OK, yeah. So use the same method for 1250 01:03:45,720 --> 01:03:49,480 paying for room and board one away from your outlaw van camp. 1251 01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:51,920 Any equipment your outlaw fines during the course of the 1252 01:03:51,920 --> 01:03:55,760 adventure may be used at no resource cost. 1253 01:03:56,160 --> 01:04:00,440 I mean, I think this is written weird, but like, I'm still into 1254 01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:04,600 the assumption that you, like, spend resources and it's just 1255 01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:06,680 when it gets to the point where it's above how much you have, 1256 01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:08,560 you do the difference. But doesn't say that. 1257 01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:12,600 I don't know. Yeah, so that's my, that's my on 1258 01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:16,960 this guy's stuff, it says. Spend one resource right but 1259 01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:19,000 like because you're. Spending to use it but for. 1260 01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:21,600 Equipment, room and board. It only says the the rule on the 1261 01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:23,240 difference, you know? Yeah. 1262 01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:27,040 My assumption, and this is how I'm reading it right, is that 1263 01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:31,000 you have 22 resources. Yeah, right. 1264 01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:35,160 And that if you use eight, you're not losing the eight, 1265 01:04:35,160 --> 01:04:37,880 you're not spending quote UN quote, the 8:00, that's just the 1266 01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:40,040 eight that that's in there. Yeah. 1267 01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:41,280 It's within the eight. Yeah, yeah. 1268 01:04:41,280 --> 01:04:44,600 And then? So what I would do is I would 1269 01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:48,440 mark 8 and then I would mark 8 and then I would mark 8 and once 1270 01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:50,400 I hit something like a inventory. 1271 01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:53,960 Like you can assign resources. It's like a weird kind of Yeah, 1272 01:04:53,960 --> 01:04:55,360 but. But if you. 1273 01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:59,560 Never go above your 22. Once you get at the end of the 1274 01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:01,840 adventure, you can basically just like put stuff away and 1275 01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:03,960 pick up different stuff. It's just when you go above, you 1276 01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:07,360 start to reduce the total. So it's again, it's quantum 1277 01:05:07,360 --> 01:05:09,520 inventory in a way that like I, I just wish it did say somewhere 1278 01:05:09,520 --> 01:05:12,800 in there that like track what you use and then once you go 1279 01:05:12,800 --> 01:05:15,480 past it, I think that would make would, would be a little helpful 1280 01:05:15,480 --> 01:05:16,880 because that's exactly what I would do. 1281 01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:21,200 Because if I use 888 and then on that last eight I hit 24, you 1282 01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:24,800 then reduce 22 to 20 and then on your next adventure you only 1283 01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,680 have 20, you know, because you basically went beyond anyway. 1284 01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:29,440 So that was one of the big questions I had in the game, one 1285 01:05:29,440 --> 01:05:30,960 of the only big questions. So we can kind of cruise a 1286 01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,400 little bit more here. So we get you how to play the 1287 01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:35,880 game now. Again, same thing, beautiful 1288 01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:38,920 little illustration, cool little header for this align. 1289 01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:42,520 It does not do to hurry the Archer, it makes him miss 1290 01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:51,520 Stephen Lawhead from Hood. So there's some rules language 1291 01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:54,040 in here that I have questions on. 1292 01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:55,400 Other than that, I like the way the game is. 1293 01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:57,200 This all goes through and Sherwood. 1294 01:05:57,200 --> 01:06:00,640 Most character actions are simple conversations and this is 1295 01:06:00,640 --> 01:06:02,360 where it says so. Whenever an outlaw attempts 1296 01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:05,120 something risky where success is possible, failure is costly. 1297 01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:09,240 Love that classic OSR line. The GM can call for a role, say 1298 01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:11,720 what your character is doing and what the known risks are, and 1299 01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:15,040 roll 2D6. You can add one of your outlaws 1300 01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,880 relevant skills if you had one. Be careful though, bad things 1301 01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:20,680 almost always happen when a roll fails. 1302 01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:23,640 Once the session starts. The most common reason for the 1303 01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:27,360 dice to come out is the characters are trying something 1304 01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:30,000 risky, skill checks or avoiding danger saving throws. 1305 01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:35,080 Then we get you skill checks. Skill checks happen when an 1306 01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:38,080 outlaw tries something potentially dangerous if the 1307 01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:43,040 result equals or exceeds. Oh yeah, if the result equals or 1308 01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:45,840 exceeds 8, the action succeeds. If the result is lower than 8, 1309 01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:48,280 the action failed and the consequence, both expected and 1310 01:06:48,280 --> 01:06:53,120 unexpected happen. So I guess my issue with this is 1311 01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:55,400 that I feel like this middle paragraph here at the top. 1312 01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:58,160 Whenever an outlaw attends something risky, say what your 1313 01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:01,800 character's doing, roll 2D6. I feel like that should be under 1314 01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:04,000 skill check. Like it's the actual paragraph 1315 01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:07,120 to how to roll to play the game because once you get to skill 1316 01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:09,960 check, nowhere under skill check does it say roll 2D6. 1317 01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:14,720 Yeah, it says it in the like, yeah, it's, it's unfortunate you 1318 01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:16,440 have to sift through the paragraph for that if you're 1319 01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:18,560 trying to like, scroll through the rules, Yeah. 1320 01:07:18,720 --> 01:07:22,400 And then it says you can add your a relevant skill. 1321 01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:24,760 Obviously we know, I think there's some assumed knowledge 1322 01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:26,800 in here. We know that if you have a point 1323 01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:30,400 in a skill, a point in forestry, it's 2D6 plus one. 1324 01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:33,000 But it never specifically states that in here. 1325 01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:35,000 Yeah. So someone newer to games might 1326 01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:36,080 be like, well, how do I add a skill? 1327 01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:37,760 Like I have a one in this, is it 1? 1328 01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:40,080 Is this like advantage? Whatever it doesn't specifically 1329 01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:41,880 state so like. Sometimes I hand things to my 1330 01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:43,600 players to read. I know they don't read every 1331 01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:44,960 paragraph. Yeah, I mean, exactly. 1332 01:07:45,240 --> 01:07:48,280 They go through the sections and they read the like sections, so 1333 01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:50,480 they know the that's what I'm. Saying so, there's no there's no 1334 01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:55,080 one line that says a skill check is when you roll 2D6, add the 1335 01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:59,560 value of a relevant skill and roll equal to or greater than 8. 1336 01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:00,720 It's not listed anywhere. Anywhere. 1337 01:08:00,720 --> 01:08:02,560 I would just. Drag a whole paragraph down to 1338 01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:03,320 this. That's what I'm saying. 1339 01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:06,000 That's I'm saying I think that most most of this whole 1340 01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:08,800 paragraph, the from whenever that all starts to this whole 1341 01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:11,280 paragraph could be under skill checks, a paragraph below. 1342 01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:13,160 It could be above, and that could be in skill checks. 1343 01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:16,319 And the argument could be well, like it's the intro to how just 1344 01:08:16,319 --> 01:08:18,560 any role works. And then you go to saving throw. 1345 01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:20,240 But the problem is when you go to saving there we get to it 1346 01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:23,720 then too. It does say roll 26 right here, 1347 01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,960 but also it talks about adding a skill to it. 1348 01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:29,120 How are you doing a skill for a saving throw? 1349 01:08:29,120 --> 01:08:31,520 We'll repeat this again, this rhetorical for right now because 1350 01:08:31,520 --> 01:08:33,800 your skills are it's against your attribute, but it also 1351 01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:36,479 never mentions it later. So anyway, so that's my issue. 1352 01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:38,399 Kind of like with the skill check rules language. 1353 01:08:38,399 --> 01:08:41,120 We get it, it makes sense. But like you said, like if 1354 01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:44,279 someone might skip the intro paragraph, it doesn't ever say 1355 01:08:44,279 --> 01:08:46,160 anywhere in the actual skill check section. 1356 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:50,960 Roll 2D6, add a skill. There is a section here on 1357 01:08:50,960 --> 01:08:53,640 choosing skill though. Basically you it, it just is a 1358 01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:56,319 little thing about like if you're intimidating, do this, if 1359 01:08:56,319 --> 01:08:58,240 you're performing, do that. Like pick the skill that's 1360 01:08:58,279 --> 01:09:00,760 applicable on trade skill and Jack of all trades. 1361 01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:03,000 We talked about this before. When performing a task, a 1362 01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,720 character with no relevant skill has disadvantage on the attempt. 1363 01:09:06,920 --> 01:09:09,120 Characters with the Jack of All Trades talent do not incur this 1364 01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:11,479 penalty. They perform any task as if they 1365 01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:14,279 had a relevant skill. So basically there is no such 1366 01:09:14,279 --> 01:09:19,160 thing as just a 2D6 role, right? Am I reading that right? 1367 01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:24,680 Like just flat 2D6 because. Always. 1368 01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,399 Well, yeah, if you, if you have a skill, you add it to and if 1369 01:09:27,399 --> 01:09:30,760 you don't have a skill, it's a disadvantage. 6 pick the worst 1370 01:09:30,760 --> 01:09:32,560 two essentially. You know, Yeah, there. 1371 01:09:32,560 --> 01:09:38,040 Is no flat skill yeah there there is only disadvantage or 1372 01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:41,279 add mod add your skill points, which is interesting I don't 1373 01:09:41,279 --> 01:09:42,840 have a problem with it it's just interesting I. 1374 01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:44,960 Think it's great, Yeah, Yeah. Crits. 1375 01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:47,960 Crits are 12 or better or two or less and that sucks or is good 1376 01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:49,600 for you. Advantage and disadvantage works 1377 01:09:49,600 --> 01:09:51,080 exactly like you think for the most part. 1378 01:09:51,080 --> 01:09:53,680 So basically for advantage you roll 36 and you can pick 1379 01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:56,400 whichever 2 you want. For disadvantage though, how do 1380 01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:58,880 you feel about this? For disadvantage, you roll 386 1381 01:09:58,880 --> 01:10:03,000 and the GM picks the 2 I. I I don't mind that rule, so I 1382 01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:04,320 don't. I don't mind it. 1383 01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:06,000 I don't necessarily like it though, because I think there's 1384 01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:07,640 other parts where it talked about the GM doesn't really 1385 01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:09,160 roll. Like the whole point of this is 1386 01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:11,880 like so. It feels a. 1387 01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:14,360 Little bit it brings a little bit of that kind of like 1388 01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:16,680 antagonism in a little bit where the player could be like, come 1389 01:10:16,680 --> 01:10:18,280 on, do me, don't do me dirty this time. 1390 01:10:18,280 --> 01:10:19,880 And you'd be like, no, picking the obviously you're going to 1391 01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:22,280 pick the lowest. Like I'm OK with the GM not 1392 01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:25,480 being involved in someone's role at all and just being like, no, 1393 01:10:25,480 --> 01:10:26,560 you just get the two shittiest roles. 1394 01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:28,920 That sucks for you like. Only player facing roles. 1395 01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:31,640 I do. I've never. 1396 01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:33,000 Heard you say that before. Yeah, that's. 1397 01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:34,560 Crazy. Yeah, that's crazy. 1398 01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:37,280 But so it's it's it's it's interesting. 1399 01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:39,720 I don't I don't necessarily mind us in here, but I wouldn't play 1400 01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:41,120 it that way. I would I would play it as 1401 01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:42,880 disadvantage As disadvantage. You get the two worst. 1402 01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:44,320 Yeah, I probably. Would play it like that as well 1403 01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:49,160 honestly so. So saving throws are different 1404 01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:54,760 than skill checks, as we said. So saving skill checks is when 1405 01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,480 you're trying to do something, when you're doing an action. 1406 01:10:57,720 --> 01:10:59,840 A saving throw is when you were trying, when you're facing 1407 01:10:59,840 --> 01:11:03,400 dangers that you must evade or avoid, such as a trap, a rain of 1408 01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:05,520 crossbow bolts, or the effects of sorcery or something like 1409 01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:06,520 that. That's why you do a saving 1410 01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:08,640 throw. The GM will ask you to roll a 1411 01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:11,920 saving throw, and the way that a saving throw works is you roll 1412 01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:16,040 2D6 if the result is equal to or less than the current score of 1413 01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:19,480 your attribute that you're using, which could be lower. 1414 01:11:19,560 --> 01:11:21,680 So like if you're, if you're doing endurance and you've been 1415 01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:23,680 taking endurance statements the whole day, like that sucks for 1416 01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:24,600 you. It constantly goes down. 1417 01:11:25,040 --> 01:11:27,120 Your outlaw succeeds at avoiding it if it's lower. 1418 01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:28,760 So roll under. So saving through as a roll 1419 01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:30,400 under skill checks are 8 or above. 1420 01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:33,040 If your current attribute score is less than two, it's 1421 01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:35,240 impossible. And if it's higher than 12, 1422 01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:36,360 you're succeeding no matter what. 1423 01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:38,120 Right. Which is interesting. 1424 01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:42,600 Yeah, yeah, Saving with luck is an option. 1425 01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:45,320 You can always choose to save with luck instead of an 1426 01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:47,800 attribute, but you then reduce your luck by 1. 1427 01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:52,480 And then there's a whole section here on consequences of actions. 1428 01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:56,400 They exist and PCs don't get saves versus the consequence of 1429 01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:59,040 their own actions, except for like a shield, which we talked 1430 01:11:59,040 --> 01:12:00,720 about before. There's a specific example here 1431 01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:03,640 talking about under most circumstances, you don't get 1432 01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:05,480 saves against consequences except shield. 1433 01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:07,520 We talked about it. There's a table here which I 1434 01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:09,960 really, really like. It says make a skill check win. 1435 01:12:10,480 --> 01:12:12,600 There's something on the line. Yeah, when there's something on 1436 01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:15,320 the line, success is possible. Failures cause greater risks and 1437 01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:16,680 there's more writing underneath for each. 1438 01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:18,680 And then make a saving throw a win and outlaw face the 1439 01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:21,520 consequences of another outlaws failed role or when the outlaw 1440 01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:23,360 faces imminent danger present in the environment. 1441 01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:24,560 Great table. Love this. 1442 01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:28,440 Fantastic. I think the other the the 1443 01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:31,120 question that I have a saving throws is do you add skills to 1444 01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:35,920 saving throws? I don't think so. 1445 01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:39,720 Yeah, and that's my issue then too with the original paragraph 1446 01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:42,160 you talked about, because if that's like the base role and it 1447 01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:44,840 applies to both, it does talk about adding a skill, but like 1448 01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:46,400 how would you add the skill literally is? 1449 01:12:46,440 --> 01:12:48,320 Only talking about skill checks in that paragraph. 1450 01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:49,880 Yeah, which? Is why I think that paragraph 1451 01:12:49,880 --> 01:12:52,240 should really just be dumped out under skill check because there 1452 01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:55,000 is a big paragraph that started saving throw that is similar to 1453 01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:59,960 that under saving throw. So, and those are the core role 1454 01:12:59,960 --> 01:13:02,000 for the game, combat and initiative. 1455 01:13:02,720 --> 01:13:07,200 So basically it's combat works like skill checks and saving 1456 01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:09,000 throws like there's no difference. 1457 01:13:09,640 --> 01:13:12,720 A textual skill checks, defense is saving throws. 1458 01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:15,560 That's how it works. Melee is a skill, things like 1459 01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:17,680 that. So you can use your melee I 1460 01:13:17,680 --> 01:13:19,720 love. Attacks of skill checks because 1461 01:13:19,720 --> 01:13:22,440 the implication is there that like, hey, if you're not fucking 1462 01:13:22,440 --> 01:13:26,560 skilled at fighting, you're going to hit disadvantage every 1463 01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:29,280 time so yeah, you. Disadvantage every time in 1464 01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:32,800 combat if you're trying to hit melee without a melee skill man, 1465 01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:35,040 hey. Yeah, does that just click for 1466 01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:37,280 you? Yeah, I mean, obviously you're 1467 01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:39,280 going to pick melee at some point, but like, that's that. 1468 01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:41,600 Yeah, man, it's rough. Oh, I don't. 1469 01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:44,640 I only have arcane town. Well I guess I have Jack of all 1470 01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:46,200 trades so I don't get disadvantage on. 1471 01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:47,160 There you go. There you go. 1472 01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:50,680 That'll do it. Initiative is conversational, 1473 01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:54,240 which I love Like there's really is what what's cool about this 1474 01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:56,840 and I like is that it doesn't feel like combat is ever combat 1475 01:13:56,840 --> 01:13:58,680 like you're never going to hit a point where someone goes all 1476 01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:00,640 right, now we're in combat. It's just like some shit 1477 01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:02,280 happened. So you just so you do a melee 1478 01:14:02,280 --> 01:14:04,400 skill check instead of like a of the. 1479 01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:05,960 Narrative. There's not like a break. 1480 01:14:06,480 --> 01:14:07,000 Yeah. Which I. 1481 01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:08,720 Love. So you know there is no as far 1482 01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:10,080 as I know, there is no rolling initiative. 1483 01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:12,960 You just keep doing the things in the order of people doing 1484 01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:14,320 things when they want to do things. 1485 01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:16,200 I. Think you're right. 1486 01:14:16,360 --> 01:14:18,000 Yeah, I mean. I think. 1487 01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:20,280 I think it's just narrative, you know? 1488 01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:21,960 Yeah. Which I love again. 1489 01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:25,800 Like basically there's two kind of different core mechanics in 1490 01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:29,040 the game, which is skill check and saving throw, but there's no 1491 01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:31,760 other like kind of like mode of play like in 5 E, like when you 1492 01:14:31,760 --> 01:14:33,280 want to combat, it's a whole different mode of play. 1493 01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:36,280 You know, it feels very. There is a hard stop where in 1494 01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:38,880 the other mode of turns become. Different rounds become 1495 01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:41,600 different like, but in this, it's just a continuation, which 1496 01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:43,440 I really, really love. I really. 1497 01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:45,680 Do like that as well, yeah. There. 1498 01:14:45,840 --> 01:14:47,920 Is that to other games? Every game. 1499 01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:50,760 Every game like I love that I hate, I hate rolling for 1500 01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:53,440 initiative who gives a shit. Just like if it's as long as 1501 01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:56,360 everyone kind of gets to go, just do the shit that people 1502 01:14:56,360 --> 01:15:00,920 want to do, you know? There is more rules here for 1503 01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:03,840 Shields, which is fine here, but could also be under Shields. 1504 01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:06,120 Opponents with a shield or offhand weapon may attack with 1505 01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:08,880 both, but the target of the second attack also gets the same 1506 01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:10,160 throw. There's more shield rules that 1507 01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:12,880 could also be in shield earlier. I love that you can. 1508 01:15:12,880 --> 01:15:14,360 Attack with a shield. I mean, it makes sense. 1509 01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:16,280 Obviously you can, dude. It's a big, it's a big piece of 1510 01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:17,440 wood. You can hit somebody with it, 1511 01:15:17,680 --> 01:15:21,680 Yeah. Shield bash it, Yeah, and it 1512 01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:24,040 also does take a hand. So like it does. 1513 01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:28,600 There is a downside. To it, but also like I don't 1514 01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:30,360 mind there being like a huge benefit to having a shield 1515 01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:32,120 because a shield is a huge benefit. 1516 01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:37,960 Like it really is contests and oppose roles. 1517 01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:43,000 It basically it's just a skill check. 1518 01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:45,080 Like if you and me wanted to go against each other, it's a skill 1519 01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:47,040 check for a skill check. High swirl wins very easy. 1520 01:15:47,440 --> 01:15:50,120 Like super streamlined. There's a whole section here on 1521 01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:52,240 allies. It's pretty much all talking 1522 01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:55,960 about NPC allies. They exist. 1523 01:15:55,960 --> 01:15:59,640 You can have them assistance, you can, you can grant your 1524 01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:02,840 allies assistance or they can grant you assistance by doing 1525 01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:06,720 things like you can make a skill check to give them an opening in 1526 01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:09,320 a fight and then they can jump in and and do something for you. 1527 01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:13,560 You can also send in PCs on errands, which I really love. 1528 01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:16,600 There's a whole thing if an ally is well equipped, highly 1529 01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:19,480 skilled, or especially suited you can you you roll with 1530 01:16:19,480 --> 01:16:21,240 advantage. I mean, if they're bad, you roll 1531 01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:23,120 disadvantage. And for your ally actions that 1532 01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:25,280 you want to send them on, you just roll AD 6, which I thought 1533 01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:27,520 was interesting. It could just be a 2D6, but I 1534 01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:30,520 kind of like that it's a 1D6 because I feel like your ally is 1535 01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:32,920 like a lesser character, you know what I mean? 1536 01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:35,680 Like it feels like you're just doing a side thing. 1537 01:16:35,680 --> 01:16:37,960 So they only get 1D6 for their thing, but it's a four plus. 1538 01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:40,160 So like mathematically it's roughly the same role, but I 1539 01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:42,640 like that your allies only get 1D6 and you get 2D6, you know? 1540 01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:47,880 And stamina and loyalty basically. 1541 01:16:48,600 --> 01:16:49,880 This is something we'll talk about later. 1542 01:16:49,880 --> 01:16:52,440 So it says here allies have the same attributes as opponents 1543 01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:54,440 stamina reactions to special abilities. 1544 01:16:54,440 --> 01:16:57,520 Keep that in mind. When an ally takes damage that 1545 01:16:57,520 --> 01:17:00,720 drops their stamina to 5 or less, they roll A1D6. 1546 01:17:01,720 --> 01:17:04,240 If the result is higher than their current stamina, they hide 1547 01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:06,400 and run away. Basically, stamina is kind of 1548 01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:09,600 like their HP but also their morale a bit, which is 1549 01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:13,040 interesting. And then when they catch their 1550 01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:14,440 breath, they can regain 2D6 stamina. 1551 01:17:14,440 --> 01:17:15,600 We'll talk about that a little bit later. 1552 01:17:15,960 --> 01:17:19,160 Injury and recovery, a couple of things here. 1553 01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:21,400 Taking damage out of action, catching a breath and what are 1554 01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:23,960 they doing here? So basically taking damage most 1555 01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:26,000 like physical damage is going to go against your endurance. 1556 01:17:26,040 --> 01:17:28,880 You know, it reminds me a bit of like Cairn, how you take 1557 01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:33,680 attribute damage. You know it's a damage reduction 1558 01:17:33,680 --> 01:17:37,120 when they hit zero. If you take any more damage, 1559 01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:43,520 you're out of the action. And or the other way you can get 1560 01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:47,000 knocked out of action is if your endurance is at 0 and another 1561 01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:49,200 attribute's at 0. So you could actually get like 1562 01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:52,360 let's say your wit's down to zero and then as soon as your 1563 01:17:52,360 --> 01:17:54,720 endurance hit zero, you're you're down right away. 1564 01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:56,400 You don't have to wait for that next hit because you have an 1565 01:17:56,400 --> 01:18:02,280 attribute down already. This could mean and if you do 1566 01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:04,520 hit zero, if you are out of action, it can be anything from 1567 01:18:04,520 --> 01:18:06,720 capture to death, depends on what's going on. 1568 01:18:07,040 --> 01:18:09,800 And if you do want, if there's some uncertainty whether it 1569 01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:11,680 killed you or not, you could do a luck saving throw. 1570 01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:14,880 And and that's it. Catching your breath is how you 1571 01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:18,000 heal. And basically it says in my 1572 01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:20,960 notes I wrote talk to the homies and roll 2D6. 1573 01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:23,440 That's what I wrote. But what it says is when your 1574 01:18:23,440 --> 01:18:26,280 outlaw gets a moment to converse with friends in a safe place, 1575 01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:28,440 they can refresh some of their attributes. 1576 01:18:28,440 --> 01:18:31,760 So basically you roll 2D6 and split that amongst any 1577 01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:33,240 attributes you want except for luck. 1578 01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:35,400 And the only way to get luck back is downtime. 1579 01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:39,280 If you and I'd love this next one, this is probably my one of 1580 01:18:39,600 --> 01:18:40,960 my favorite rules in the entire game. 1581 01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:45,840 So when you have a moment to catch your breath, you roll 2D6 1582 01:18:45,960 --> 01:18:47,480 and split that amongst your attributes, right? 1583 01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:52,640 But if you want another die roll, you can roll a third D6 1584 01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:56,960 for your attributes. But if it's four or greater, a 1585 01:18:56,960 --> 01:19:00,440 trouble from your outlaws path shows up at a bad time, they 1586 01:19:00,440 --> 01:19:02,640 discover a connection is in danger, or something else bad 1587 01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:04,760 happens. So if you want to get more 1588 01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:08,040 healing, you can risk it hoping to get a couple more points. 1589 01:19:08,040 --> 01:19:12,360 But if it's four or higher, like Trouble, Brute Trouble comes in, 1590 01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:15,520 which I think is such a fun mechanical narrative way to pull 1591 01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:18,280 that back in the story. Forward, you know it's so. 1592 01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:19,800 Good. I really, really like it a lot. 1593 01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:23,600 And then there's some other stuff about healing. 1594 01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:25,560 What are they doing here? In addition, once during the 1595 01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:27,520 session when you're Outlaw confronts one of their troubles 1596 01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:29,640 or tries to help out of the connections, they get the 1597 01:19:29,640 --> 01:19:36,800 benefits of catching a breath. Downtime is basically downtime 1598 01:19:36,800 --> 01:19:38,880 is what it says. At the start of downtime, you 1599 01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:41,440 reset your luck completely, you recover 2D6 points of 1600 01:19:41,440 --> 01:19:43,280 attributes, and you choose one activity. 1601 01:19:44,200 --> 01:19:46,600 You can choose teaching yourself a skill, teach a skill, learn a 1602 01:19:46,600 --> 01:19:49,120 skill. Big questions, which basically 1603 01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:51,880 means you're doing research and the GM can answer questions 1604 01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:53,040 based on what's going on the story. 1605 01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:55,720 Highway robbery means you literally go out and rob people, 1606 01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:59,680 rest and recover, and allows you to restore all of your 1607 01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:02,000 attributes to the sharding value except luck, but you already get 1608 01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:03,280 luck back at the start so it doesn't matter. 1609 01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:06,160 So if you choose to do just that, you get all your shit 1610 01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:08,160 back. Or there's Acts of kindness 1611 01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:11,480 where you can spend 1 E 3 resources and gain 1 E 6 legend, 1612 01:20:11,480 --> 01:20:12,720 which is cool. Yeah. 1613 01:20:13,800 --> 01:20:15,720 And then other actions. If there's something else you 1614 01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:18,840 want to do, do stuff and the GM will figure it out. 1615 01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:22,280 There's a table here for converting dragon game 1616 01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:24,400 characters upon its NPCS and Troika. 1617 01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:26,400 I like how. Specifically Dragon Games and 1618 01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:29,640 Troika. Dragon Games and Troika Like of 1619 01:20:29,640 --> 01:20:32,480 all the the two game types that exist in the world, there are 1620 01:20:32,480 --> 01:20:34,040 two genders, Dragon Games and Troika. 1621 01:20:34,040 --> 01:20:37,480 The two genders of games, Dragon Game and Troika, Yeah. 1622 01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:43,080 Right. Then we get into Arcane Talent, 1623 01:20:43,080 --> 01:20:45,440 so basically magic at the end and then we're basically done. 1624 01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:48,200 I'd love the header graphic on this. 1625 01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:52,480 It's beautiful. Again, look at it if you're in 1626 01:20:52,480 --> 01:20:54,360 podcast land. Another quote at the beginning 1627 01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:59,320 of this one from Little John. Yeah, yeah. 1628 01:21:01,480 --> 01:21:03,880 Now you listen to me, friend. You can surround yourself a 1629 01:21:03,880 --> 01:21:05,920 salt, soot or sausages for all I care. 1630 01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:08,320 But we've come too far to turn back now. 1631 01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:10,560 Hey, men are demons. They're going to be dealt with. 1632 01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:12,960 Robin or Sherwood, The swords of Wayland. 1633 01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:14,640 That's my favorite one in the entire game. 1634 01:21:15,480 --> 01:21:17,240 The favorite quote at the start of any chapter. 1635 01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:20,120 Surround yourself a salt, soot or sausages for all I care. 1636 01:21:20,720 --> 01:21:23,920 It's great. So basically we're going to go 1637 01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:26,040 over one of your two magics here, But the way magic. 1638 01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:27,920 Works. You want to go pyromancy? 1639 01:21:27,920 --> 01:21:29,280 Cool. So the way magic works is you 1640 01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:31,840 get you get an arcane talent, which means you get one you have 1641 01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:35,840 pyromancy and illusions I think and you get cantrip and powers. 1642 01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:38,880 You can use cantrips cost 1 willpower but require no skill 1643 01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:45,040 check and then the powers cost a set value in in the powers and 1644 01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:47,000 it does require a skill check. There's this section here on 1645 01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:49,480 player safety that basically says like especially like 1646 01:21:49,480 --> 01:21:52,200 illusion or like true seeing into people's minds. 1647 01:21:52,200 --> 01:21:54,000 If people aren't comfortable having the mind read, don't. 1648 01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:56,640 Basically. So parvancy. 1649 01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:59,480 Talk to me about parvancy, yeah. So parvancy, the camstrip you 1650 01:21:59,480 --> 01:22:01,760 get is you can summon a little flame, you know, it's like a 1651 01:22:01,960 --> 01:22:03,880 it's like a little hovering torch near you. 1652 01:22:05,080 --> 01:22:07,960 What? Was his name Calcifer? 1653 01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:09,880 Calcifer. Yeah, you got. 1654 01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:13,120 There you go. I did that with very few hints. 1655 01:22:14,640 --> 01:22:17,640 For those in podcast land, all I did was hold up my hand and 1656 01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:19,840 point in my hand and say what was his name? 1657 01:22:21,640 --> 01:22:24,800 That's where you can call a. Gentle flame like light that's 1658 01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:27,360 either as bright as a torque or as dim as a candle. 1659 01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:32,760 As far as powers go, they do require a successful pyromancy 1660 01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:35,400 skill check before spending willpower. 1661 01:22:36,200 --> 01:22:38,920 You have consume create flame or extinguish flame. 1662 01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:44,440 Consume just expands an existing flame to cover an area of 10 1663 01:22:44,440 --> 01:22:47,640 feet across, doing 2D6 damage to any person who enters, stands 1664 01:22:47,640 --> 01:22:51,440 in, or moves through the area. It cost 4 create flame. 1665 01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:56,440 Guess what, you create a campfire size flame doing 3D6 1666 01:22:56,440 --> 01:22:59,440 damage to any person you summit it on. 1667 01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:03,680 That cost 3 and an extinguished flame. 1668 01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:09,720 I'll let you guess and that cost 3 to extinguish the fire in the 1669 01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:15,360 person sized area. So so I have I have a 10 will so 1670 01:23:15,360 --> 01:23:20,000 really any any one of these and I've like a pretty high will 1671 01:23:21,800 --> 01:23:25,840 would be very costly and it would make saving against will 1672 01:23:25,840 --> 01:23:31,120 later on much more difficult. But that's cool. 1673 01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:36,880 I like, like, I like how limited the magic feels for this game 1674 01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:39,480 because it's a game in which like any amount of magic would 1675 01:23:39,480 --> 01:23:44,240 feel like a lot, you know, being the one guy that can call flames 1676 01:23:44,240 --> 01:23:46,280 and expand them. It's like, well, that's that's 1677 01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:49,760 fucking pretty good here. We're in, you know, you know, 1678 01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:53,000 13th century England or 14th century England like. 1679 01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:56,200 Yeah, and like you said, it's not, it's not crazy. 1680 01:23:56,240 --> 01:23:57,880 You can just be like, boom, there's a flame, boom, the 1681 01:23:57,880 --> 01:23:58,760 flame's gone. I I. 1682 01:23:58,840 --> 01:24:02,000 Think it's perfect for this, you know, I wouldn't want, you know, 1683 01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:05,200 your high level ultra sorcerer in this. 1684 01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:07,000 It just wouldn't feel like a fit. 1685 01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:10,600 No, and it's cool. I mean, so basically each, each 1686 01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:14,120 arcane talent gives you one kid tripping 3 powers like 1687 01:24:14,440 --> 01:24:17,520 necromancy, speak with dead Compella, dead animate dead. 1688 01:24:17,560 --> 01:24:20,560 Like again, like nothing super crazy, but like yeah, for 13th 1689 01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:23,640 century England. I mean that'll fuck somebody up, 1690 01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:26,480 you know, like totally. It's really cool you see some 1691 01:24:26,480 --> 01:24:28,120 guy. Who, like, raises his hands and 1692 01:24:28,120 --> 01:24:29,600 the fire disappears in front of me. 1693 01:24:29,600 --> 01:24:31,680 He puts out a fire. You're like, what the fuck? 1694 01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:37,160 Yeah. Burn him which the next section 1695 01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:40,480 is our rituals of divination and sorcery. 1696 01:24:40,560 --> 01:24:45,200 Again, beautiful like graphic here with some some some candles 1697 01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:48,240 and then that font that is just gorgeous sorcery. 1698 01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:50,880 Is a skill that was on a lot of the roll tables, including for 1699 01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:53,600 the Guild trader. I just didn't roll it so it's 1700 01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:56,560 just the other magic. And what's cool too is that I 1701 01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:59,720 really like that. Basically it says sorcerer's. 1702 01:24:59,720 --> 01:25:02,360 Sorcerer's rites and rituals are common in historic fantasy. 1703 01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:05,360 The following are among widely available to trained sorcerers 1704 01:25:05,360 --> 01:25:07,200 and diviners, though others may be found. 1705 01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:09,920 Rituals work like skill checks, and anyone who can find some 1706 01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:12,320 information about how to conduct them may attempt to do so. 1707 01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:16,480 So that says to me that you don't necessarily, if sorcery is 1708 01:25:16,480 --> 01:25:19,080 a skill, you don't necessarily have done the sorcery skill. 1709 01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:21,480 Like if you're just like I find a book and it has a spell in it, 1710 01:25:21,480 --> 01:25:25,120 you can try it, right? Yeah. 1711 01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:27,280 But I mean, but it's a skill check, right? 1712 01:25:28,040 --> 01:25:29,440 Yeah, right. If you don't have the sorcery 1713 01:25:29,480 --> 01:25:32,760 skill, the consistency of that. Rule is fantastic and the way 1714 01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:35,640 it's applied throughout this makes this like infinitely like 1715 01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:39,400 more interesting than another game using a similar framework 1716 01:25:39,400 --> 01:25:42,520 could be like, I love the way it's like, yeah, everything's a 1717 01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:44,120 skill check. It's all the same skill check, 1718 01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:46,320 and skill checks are a disadvantage if you just don't 1719 01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:49,200 know anything you know, like. If you're. 1720 01:25:49,240 --> 01:25:53,840 Fucking former free laborer picks up a sorcery book and you 1721 01:25:53,840 --> 01:25:55,640 know, it doesn't have any like any skill. 1722 01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:57,080 Like, yeah, he's going to fucking do it bad. 1723 01:25:57,080 --> 01:26:00,560 But the your Jack of all trades is fairly worldly is like, OK, I 1724 01:26:00,560 --> 01:26:02,200 might have a better handle on this, you know? 1725 01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:05,160 It's it, it is really good. I really enjoy it. 1726 01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:12,360 There are 12345, I want to say different sorceries listed. 1727 01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:15,920 There is fortune telling, bond of power, call power, lesser 1728 01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:17,720 weather working and weapon blessing. 1729 01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:19,760 We'll just kind of talking one a little bit. 1730 01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:21,640 So weapon blessing, we're not gonna go over the beginning of 1731 01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:23,320 stuff. It does stuff weather. 1732 01:26:23,320 --> 01:26:26,040 Working man alright. Fine weather working Go. 1733 01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:27,480 I talk about lesser weather working. 1734 01:26:27,480 --> 01:26:28,280 I love weather. Workers. 1735 01:26:28,320 --> 01:26:31,400 I you know, I grew up reading Ursula, Kayla Gwynn, and that's 1736 01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:33,600 a big being. Like a weather worker is a big 1737 01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:36,400 thing in that in that world. Yeah. 1738 01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:37,560 Tell me. About. 1739 01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:38,680 Tell me about. Tell me about it then. 1740 01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:41,320 Yeah. So a skilled sorcerer can change 1741 01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:45,600 the weather in small area, calling rain lightning. 1742 01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:50,920 If lightning summoned it does 5D6 damage and does not miss. 1743 01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:54,040 Other weather effects are just conditional to kind of narrative 1744 01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:57,160 things as appropriate. If the ritual fails, the GM 1745 01:26:57,160 --> 01:27:00,520 determines how the weather works against the leader and 1746 01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:02,520 participant. So if you summon some weather to 1747 01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:05,160 help you out, it might actually hinder you if you fail. 1748 01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:09,200 So they requires so it's got skill time required. 1749 01:27:09,200 --> 01:27:12,680 Area duration cost a source of advantage and source of 1750 01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:14,640 disadvantage to the skill of sorcery. 1751 01:27:15,040 --> 01:27:20,360 The time required is 2 hours. The area is up to 1 acre. 1752 01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:24,760 Duration is one hour of weather effects or instantaneous for a 1753 01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:27,800 lightning bolt, though environmental effects such as 1754 01:27:28,120 --> 01:27:32,360 falling trees or wet roads will last as long as they fictionally 1755 01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:37,360 would last. It cost 4 and then the. 1756 01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:39,960 The source of the advantage of the ritual is conducted in a 1757 01:27:39,960 --> 01:27:42,960 sacred place and the leader is assisted by at least three 1758 01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:46,920 others for the whole 2 hours. The ritual extends the effects 1759 01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:52,360 of existing weather, calling fog or wind after the ending of a 1760 01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:54,720 rainstorm and then sources of disadvantage. 1761 01:27:55,160 --> 01:28:01,160 The ritual takes only one hour. The ritual calls weather that is 1762 01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:04,760 unlikely, rain during a drought, fog at noon, etcetera. 1763 01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:10,120 So it's like a spell spell? It feels like it is similar to 1764 01:28:10,120 --> 01:28:14,080 like a 5 E spell ish in like but it but it's because it gives you 1765 01:28:14,440 --> 01:28:16,920 all the things like you said, like time duration area, like it 1766 01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:19,800 gives you all of the stuff to do for like this bigger kind of 1767 01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:22,200 ritualistic sorcery. So really like a lot. 1768 01:28:22,200 --> 01:28:27,040 Then we get to the game masters guide to share what I love this 1769 01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:28,400 page too. Like that's that font again at 1770 01:28:28,400 --> 01:28:29,080 the top. That's big. 1771 01:28:29,080 --> 01:28:30,800 It's it's it's full page, not 2 column. 1772 01:28:30,800 --> 01:28:34,680 Again, I love the 2-3 and single column throughout the entire 1773 01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:36,600 book, the mix and match. They did such a beautiful job 1774 01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:38,680 with it. So there's a bunch of principles 1775 01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:40,920 here, Wolf said. Having the rights, the forces, 1776 01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:42,880 domain of the king. And then in literal writing the 1777 01:28:42,880 --> 01:28:44,120 exit says and the king is an ass. 1778 01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:47,160 Law and order have a lot of resources. 1779 01:28:47,160 --> 01:28:49,720 Whoever is seen as remembered, give the outlaws a reason. 1780 01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:52,240 Make it strange. Power only wants more power and 1781 01:28:52,240 --> 01:28:54,080 show the diversity. That's all part of it. 1782 01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:57,800 There's a section here on assigning rewards at the end of 1783 01:28:57,800 --> 01:28:59,840 each mission or adventure. Tell the players what, if any, 1784 01:28:59,840 --> 01:29:02,680 resources and legend their outlaws have earned using the 1785 01:29:02,680 --> 01:29:05,440 guidelines below to assist you. So it's just a guideline of 1786 01:29:05,440 --> 01:29:10,560 between like 1 and 10 resources and from -2 to +9 legend and the 1787 01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:13,680 various different ways to get the the variations of that 1788 01:29:15,400 --> 01:29:17,400 opponents in NPC. So this is the thing that I was 1789 01:29:17,400 --> 01:29:19,800 going to talk about earlier. Share what opponents in NPC have 1790 01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:22,760 different stats than PCs. What's listed is stamina armor 1791 01:29:22,760 --> 01:29:26,640 reactions. What's listed under allies that 1792 01:29:26,640 --> 01:29:30,360 says it's the same as opponents was stamina reactions special 1793 01:29:30,360 --> 01:29:33,280 abilities? I think there aren't no special 1794 01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:35,680 abilities. I I control F special abilities 1795 01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:38,960 there aren't any. So the previous thing should 1796 01:29:38,960 --> 01:29:40,840 probably say stamina armor reactions. 1797 01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:43,520 But that space will be get stamina. 1798 01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:46,440 The opponents and NPC's have a pool of stamina that's damaged 1799 01:29:46,440 --> 01:29:49,160 and a bunch of stuff. Or pay any cost for any 1800 01:29:49,160 --> 01:29:53,120 supernatural abilities that they possess, is what it says. 1801 01:29:56,200 --> 01:29:59,920 So maybe it's not completely wrong there, but like maybe 1802 01:29:59,920 --> 01:30:03,000 reactions? Is like a catch all or it must. 1803 01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:06,520 Be because like the green folk under reactions is arcane talent 1804 01:30:06,520 --> 01:30:10,400 and stuff so little little mixy matchy. 1805 01:30:11,160 --> 01:30:14,080 So yeah, so things have stamina, armor and reactions. 1806 01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:18,160 So real quick guard standard defenders of the interests and 1807 01:30:18,160 --> 01:30:21,440 stuff like that. Yeah, Supreme Court already said 1808 01:30:21,440 --> 01:30:24,760 guards the Supreme Court of the land already said guards have no 1809 01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:27,200 responsibility to serve and protect you. 1810 01:30:27,200 --> 01:30:30,320 So they are they defend the interest of those in power. 1811 01:30:30,320 --> 01:30:34,080 So stamina 13 chainmail 4 reactions are shield, long 1812 01:30:34,080 --> 01:30:37,080 sword, crossbow Russell tackle sees equipment. 1813 01:30:37,600 --> 01:30:41,800 And then there's AD 6 list here of kind of like means like short 1814 01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:43,840 tempered, irritable, surly, distant, inquisitive, 1815 01:30:43,840 --> 01:30:45,880 distractedly congenial. I love this. 1816 01:30:45,880 --> 01:30:47,920 It's it's simple, it's quick. They're great. 1817 01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:51,960 Silver Deer, Hard Assassin, Shade Night, Human Sorcerer. 1818 01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:52,960 They're great. I love them. 1819 01:30:53,880 --> 01:30:55,240 There's two starting adventures here. 1820 01:30:55,240 --> 01:30:58,440 There's the new sheriff's first tax delivery, and then there's 1821 01:30:58,440 --> 01:31:01,960 the prison keep of Lady Maude. They're beautiful. 1822 01:31:01,960 --> 01:31:05,000 There's an inspiration page that's got a bunch of stuff from 1823 01:31:05,000 --> 01:31:07,960 television, film and books. Great list of stuff. 1824 01:31:07,960 --> 01:31:10,960 And then that's the back of the book and we're done. 1825 01:31:11,760 --> 01:31:15,680 We're done. So let's hop over to the review 1826 01:31:15,680 --> 01:31:18,560 scores. So obviously this is going to be 1827 01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:21,400 Zine because it is a Zine. I have it in my hands and it is 1828 01:31:21,400 --> 01:31:27,840 Zine size and it taps out at 28 pages, which is less than we say 1829 01:31:27,840 --> 01:31:35,320 it was roughly 30 for zines. So for those that don't know 1830 01:31:35,320 --> 01:31:37,840 what we do on the show, we do quantify our terrible opinions 1831 01:31:37,840 --> 01:31:40,320 with numbers. Those numbers come in the form 1832 01:31:40,320 --> 01:31:42,720 of metrics 5 for books 3 for Zenes. 1833 01:31:42,840 --> 01:31:46,120 For zenes, we do visuals, which is the all the visuals of the 1834 01:31:46,120 --> 01:31:49,480 game, the cover, the layout, the art, everything visually. 1835 01:31:49,480 --> 01:31:52,120 How does this thing look? Rule set is if it's adapted rule 1836 01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:55,800 set, how well is it adapted? If it's a hack something like 1837 01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:59,000 that. If it is a new rule set, how do 1838 01:31:59,000 --> 01:32:01,760 we like it? You know and vibes are when you 1839 01:32:01,760 --> 01:32:04,560 look at the visuals and rule set together, how well do they play 1840 01:32:04,560 --> 01:32:07,320 with each other and when you close that last page, how bad 1841 01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:10,560 you want to play this game. That's the vibes overall, just 1842 01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:12,440 like how much you want to play the game and how how does it 1843 01:32:12,440 --> 01:32:14,240 work? So visuals. 1844 01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:16,320 What are your thoughts? I. 1845 01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:18,960 Really like how this looks, you know it's a it's a short Zine. 1846 01:32:19,280 --> 01:32:21,600 The the spot art that's in there is great. 1847 01:32:22,600 --> 01:32:25,920 I love the there is a name for what's called when the 1st 1848 01:32:25,920 --> 01:32:30,560 letter is very decorative and I'm sure Google has it and I'm 1849 01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:31,960 sure that's what Ryan's doing right now. 1850 01:32:32,800 --> 01:32:37,680 I like the traveler esque layout, but like with some 1851 01:32:37,680 --> 01:32:41,280 layout decisions of their modern decisions that use space better. 1852 01:32:43,480 --> 01:32:47,800 I like the font choices. I think visually I really enjoy 1853 01:32:47,800 --> 01:32:52,160 this game. You're doing a great job. 1854 01:32:52,240 --> 01:32:54,920 You got it. 1st letter of a paragraph that is enlarged to 1855 01:32:54,920 --> 01:32:57,800 drop down two or more as in the next paragraph. 1856 01:32:57,800 --> 01:33:00,160 Drop caps. Drop caps more often seen at the 1857 01:33:00,160 --> 01:33:04,680 beginning of novels. Oh, illuminated. 1858 01:33:05,560 --> 01:33:06,880 Illuminated. Letters. 1859 01:33:06,960 --> 01:33:09,400 There you go, illuminated letters. 1860 01:33:10,160 --> 01:33:11,320 They're. Gorgeous and they're they're 1861 01:33:11,440 --> 01:33:13,680 they're clean though still too. You know what I mean like it's 1862 01:33:13,680 --> 01:33:15,080 not super crazy. They're beautiful. 1863 01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:18,920 I, I said over and over again, I the layout on this just what for 1864 01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:23,320 whatever reason, the way that like the way that the tables 1865 01:33:23,320 --> 01:33:27,160 tuck into the text, the way that specifically under like the 1866 01:33:27,160 --> 01:33:29,600 background abilities, how the arcane talent breaks into two 1867 01:33:29,600 --> 01:33:33,240 columns, like the way that they, they, they filled the pages 1868 01:33:33,600 --> 01:33:36,200 without making it ever feel like really crowded. 1869 01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:39,040 Is this is like such a stunning layout to me. 1870 01:33:39,040 --> 01:33:41,360 Like I think it looks fantastic. Like you said, the spot 1871 01:33:41,360 --> 01:33:46,080 illustrations are beautiful. I mean, this again for like if 1872 01:33:46,080 --> 01:33:49,400 you ever want to look at a game that doesn't use a ton of art 1873 01:33:49,400 --> 01:33:52,200 and still looks absolutely stunning, this is the fucking 1874 01:33:52,200 --> 01:33:55,360 prime example for just a couple of spot illustrations and some 1875 01:33:55,360 --> 01:33:58,840 good layout and font choices and, and, and, and it will look 1876 01:33:58,840 --> 01:34:01,480 amazing. I think I I the, the logo on the 1877 01:34:01,480 --> 01:34:06,160 front, even the color choices on the the front with like the that 1878 01:34:06,160 --> 01:34:08,800 like cream color with like the two different color greens and 1879 01:34:08,800 --> 01:34:11,520 stuff. I, I, I love this scene. 1880 01:34:11,640 --> 01:34:15,440 I think it's fantastic. Yeah, I'm way up there on this 1881 01:34:15,440 --> 01:34:16,760 one. What are your thoughts when you? 1882 01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:19,160 When you pitch me a, pitch me a thing. 1883 01:34:21,680 --> 01:34:24,320 I mean, I'm somewhere between this being great and excellent. 1884 01:34:24,320 --> 01:34:27,080 I'm not going to lie, I'm. Also, somewhere between it being 1885 01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:29,000 great and excellent, so a lot of the. 1886 01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:31,000 Ones we've given like nines and tents who aren't scenes are ones 1887 01:34:31,000 --> 01:34:34,880 that were like fucking just puked on with color and shit and 1888 01:34:34,880 --> 01:34:36,920 like super whatever. Excellent in a different 1889 01:34:36,920 --> 01:34:38,120 direction. This is the. 1890 01:34:38,120 --> 01:34:39,960 Other flip of the coin for that we're like, if you're going to 1891 01:34:39,960 --> 01:34:44,720 do like black and white with just like this ideal to this is 1892 01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:48,560 yeah, as close to perfect as I can think of like I, I I think 1893 01:34:48,560 --> 01:34:51,440 to me personally, I think there's like an easy 9 yeah. 1894 01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:52,400 I'm good. I'm good with that. 1895 01:34:53,200 --> 01:34:57,080 OK, it's stunning. I can't remember the name of the 1896 01:34:57,080 --> 01:34:58,000 light R list. Eric. 1897 01:34:59,200 --> 01:35:03,920 Yeah, Eric, good fucking job. Stunning rule set. 1898 01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:08,560 So the only like knocks I have is a couple of clarification 1899 01:35:08,560 --> 01:35:09,720 things. I think the biggest ones are 1900 01:35:09,720 --> 01:35:13,640 like the skill check thing and then like a little bit more 1901 01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:15,480 explanation on the resources. I think of the only thing is 1902 01:35:15,480 --> 01:35:18,560 that kind of like you can like, I don't think those are huge 1903 01:35:18,600 --> 01:35:20,120 either. Like obviously we get how the 1904 01:35:20,120 --> 01:35:23,160 game works, but other than that, I really, so obviously I like 1905 01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:29,920 2D6, you know, mixed success or or you know, gradations are my 1906 01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:33,760 favorite, but the fact that it's like 8 plus and everything below 1907 01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:36,400 an 8 is a consequence anyway. Sure, it's close enough. 1908 01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:40,160 I think the character creation system is is amazing. 1909 01:35:40,160 --> 01:35:41,520 I love the consistency all the way through. 1910 01:35:41,520 --> 01:35:44,840 We talked about over and over again like the skill check at 1911 01:35:44,840 --> 01:35:48,360 disadvantage and how how well that like fits through every 1912 01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:51,200 core aspect of the game. Resources, like I said, but just 1913 01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:53,400 a little bit more explanation. I think the quantum inventory 1914 01:35:53,400 --> 01:35:56,080 not only for yourself, but for your loadout and for your entire 1915 01:35:56,080 --> 01:35:59,160 crew and the way that that works with your resources and legends. 1916 01:35:59,160 --> 01:36:04,240 I love that as inventory system because you're that really 1917 01:36:04,440 --> 01:36:06,720 allows you because your resources then aren't just like 1918 01:36:06,720 --> 01:36:08,360 your stuff. It's the things you can do, like 1919 01:36:08,360 --> 01:36:10,160 disguise, you know, things like that. 1920 01:36:10,160 --> 01:36:13,080 I'd love the hiding all that kind of stuff. 1921 01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:16,720 I might I'm like I I like this a lot. 1922 01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:19,800 Like I think the core mechanics are super easy and then every a 1923 01:36:19,800 --> 01:36:22,520 way that you use it is incredibly interesting. 1924 01:36:22,520 --> 01:36:25,200 What are your thoughts? I agree. 1925 01:36:25,480 --> 01:36:28,000 I mean, I think if other than a couple clarification points, 1926 01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:30,560 it's a nine for me, but I think because those it's probably like 1927 01:36:30,560 --> 01:36:33,560 an 8 for me. I, you know, that's exactly what 1928 01:36:33,560 --> 01:36:34,720 I was thinking. I was worried that you weren't 1929 01:36:34,720 --> 01:36:36,600 going to think as highly. Other than decided, I think 1930 01:36:36,600 --> 01:36:37,720 yeah. I think. 1931 01:36:37,720 --> 01:36:41,120 If resources are clarified a little bit, the rules language 1932 01:36:41,280 --> 01:36:44,200 in, I think just the way skills and saves work because like 1933 01:36:44,560 --> 01:36:47,400 because of the way the intro paragraph is, I'm not, I'm still 1934 01:36:47,400 --> 01:36:51,200 like, I'm like 99% sure you don't add skills to saving 1935 01:36:51,200 --> 01:36:52,840 throws. But because of the way it was an 1936 01:36:52,840 --> 01:36:55,720 intro part, I'm not sure. So I think a little bit more 1937 01:36:55,720 --> 01:36:58,240 language on, well, it's a roll. Under for saves. 1938 01:36:58,240 --> 01:37:00,360 So adding a skill to your save would be bad. 1939 01:37:00,920 --> 01:37:04,240 No, but so you would add it to the attribute before you would 1940 01:37:04,240 --> 01:37:05,240 roll under, you know what I mean? 1941 01:37:05,600 --> 01:37:07,760 So if you're 12 to attribute. I. 1942 01:37:07,760 --> 01:37:10,480 Know that's my point, yeah. So I think a little 1943 01:37:10,480 --> 01:37:12,920 clarification on the way that as you spend resources, if you 1944 01:37:12,920 --> 01:37:16,640 track them, and a little bit more clarification on the skill 1945 01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:18,480 check and specifically skill check. 1946 01:37:18,480 --> 01:37:20,600 One line of this is exactly how skill check goes. 1947 01:37:21,640 --> 01:37:23,360 And I think, yeah, it would be an easy 9 for me. 1948 01:37:23,800 --> 01:37:26,800 I think also the only other knock I have too is that like we 1949 01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:29,880 said before, like a little bit of like this is the core 1950 01:37:29,880 --> 01:37:31,880 mechanic of the game before all character creation, I think 1951 01:37:31,880 --> 01:37:36,560 would be great. So I think as as a game, I think 1952 01:37:36,560 --> 01:37:38,320 it's a nine. And I think if we add in like 1953 01:37:38,320 --> 01:37:40,480 rules language and some clarifications and stuff, it 1954 01:37:40,480 --> 01:37:43,000 does take a down to an 8 for me vibes. 1955 01:37:43,120 --> 01:37:45,280 I want to play it right now. I want to play it immediately. 1956 01:37:45,320 --> 01:37:45,920 Yeah. So yeah. 1957 01:37:49,360 --> 01:37:50,760 Well then, So what do we get for vibes? 1958 01:37:51,240 --> 01:37:52,080 I think we. Give this one. 1959 01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:53,440 I think we might give this one A9. 1960 01:37:53,440 --> 01:37:54,800 Two, I'm not really sure. I think it's a nine. 1961 01:37:54,800 --> 01:37:56,040 Two. And here's the thing, we do want 1962 01:37:56,040 --> 01:37:56,560 to. Play this. 1963 01:37:56,560 --> 01:38:00,000 I think it's really interesting. I think that the way that like 1964 01:38:00,600 --> 01:38:02,920 the, you know, we talked about the starting combat that the 1965 01:38:02,920 --> 01:38:05,280 structures never broke. Like it's the same narrative the 1966 01:38:05,280 --> 01:38:07,360 entire way through, the same system all the way through. 1967 01:38:07,360 --> 01:38:09,120 There's not this like delineation where you enter 1968 01:38:09,120 --> 01:38:11,880 combat because the story continues. 1969 01:38:12,120 --> 01:38:14,640 You know, it doesn't feel like this mini game tacked on to like 1970 01:38:14,640 --> 01:38:17,280 a story game, which a lot of combat sometimes feels like, 1971 01:38:17,280 --> 01:38:21,200 even if I don't necessarily realize it, I like the memoistic 1972 01:38:21,200 --> 01:38:25,120 magic. If if it is, I'd like when it is 1973 01:38:25,120 --> 01:38:26,400 a whole thing, when it is its own thing. 1974 01:38:26,400 --> 01:38:28,480 You know what I mean? Where like you do say here's to 1975 01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:30,640 fully mold to play, but like a lot of games do that kind of 1976 01:38:30,640 --> 01:38:33,600 like any kind of you're right. I like that this one doesn't at 1977 01:38:33,600 --> 01:38:34,640 all. But anyway, you were saying with 1978 01:38:34,880 --> 01:38:37,720 with magic, Yeah, the. Memoist magic that really fits 1979 01:38:37,720 --> 01:38:40,480 in with this like setting and like feels really good. 1980 01:38:42,080 --> 01:38:44,440 I I like the use of the life path system. 1981 01:38:44,440 --> 01:38:47,040 Like once again, it's like a it's a it's a traveler inspired 1982 01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:49,040 call back, just like the dice mechanics in this. 1983 01:38:49,680 --> 01:38:53,840 And it's done in the way that's like not expressly like a 1984 01:38:53,840 --> 01:38:55,680 traveler RIP. Like it's really kind of its own 1985 01:38:55,680 --> 01:38:58,680 thing that just takes bits and pieces from that and like 1986 01:38:58,680 --> 01:39:02,000 reapplies it. Yeah, I think this is good. 1987 01:39:03,240 --> 01:39:06,480 Yeah, I really like this a lot. I mean, he might be the highest. 1988 01:39:06,520 --> 01:39:08,840 Rate of Zine this year? Frankly, so it is. 1989 01:39:08,880 --> 01:39:11,120 It's it's it's not even I don't think it's even close. 1990 01:39:11,120 --> 01:39:15,920 And like I said, I think with a couple of of clarifications in 1991 01:39:15,920 --> 01:39:19,400 the rules, I think this would be like it would be a 27. 1992 01:39:19,400 --> 01:39:21,640 It'd be like as close as you get to perfect 999. 1993 01:39:21,640 --> 01:39:24,960 So it's a nine 8-9 with some of those clarifications with vibes 1994 01:39:24,960 --> 01:39:25,840 too. I do want to throw in like 1995 01:39:25,840 --> 01:39:28,160 value, like a tiny bit. I know like my vibes are good 1996 01:39:28,160 --> 01:39:31,640 when it's a relatively inexpensive like like it's not 1997 01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:32,480 good. It's cheap for that. 1998 01:39:32,560 --> 01:39:38,720 Zine is like. 20 bucks was yeah, 20 bucks gives you Zine, the 1999 01:39:38,720 --> 01:39:42,880 character sheets, like resources from from the website, the PDF, 2000 01:39:42,880 --> 01:39:44,920 everything. I mean, and again, like I said, 2001 01:39:44,920 --> 01:39:49,080 it's a nice Zine. The they did a really, really 2002 01:39:49,080 --> 01:39:53,280 good choice of cover on it. It's it's, it's, it feels the 2003 01:39:53,280 --> 01:39:55,280 thing too is like you can tell too, like the coating on the 2004 01:39:55,280 --> 01:39:56,920 outside, because when you look at the inside, see how there's 2005 01:39:56,920 --> 01:39:59,200 like a shine on it and stuff. And then when you look on the 2006 01:39:59,200 --> 01:40:01,320 outside, there's not like it's that really beautiful software. 2007 01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:02,760 Touch New York Studio is really getting. 2008 01:40:02,760 --> 01:40:05,800 Some high ratings this year. Well, I mean, if they keep 2009 01:40:05,800 --> 01:40:08,240 making good fucking games, they have a bunch more that I want to 2010 01:40:08,240 --> 01:40:12,000 read too. So Roseville. 2011 01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:14,320 Beach. Yeah, I want to play Roseville 2012 01:40:14,320 --> 01:40:15,640 too. So. 2013 01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:18,000 So that is our score for Sherwood. 2014 01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:20,840 It is a 26, nine on visual, 8 on rule set, 9 on vibes. 2015 01:40:20,840 --> 01:40:23,280 The only knocks really we give it is a little bit of some rules 2016 01:40:23,280 --> 01:40:25,040 clarifications, but otherwise it's the system. 2017 01:40:25,040 --> 01:40:27,920 I'm a huge fan of this vibes wise. 2018 01:40:27,920 --> 01:40:30,680 Again, like not only that, when you look at the vibes too, like 2019 01:40:30,680 --> 01:40:33,920 the little quotes are out and like the the, the all the 2020 01:40:33,920 --> 01:40:36,600 information beginning about like the mythology of it too 2021 01:40:36,600 --> 01:40:37,920 obviously was super well researched. 2022 01:40:37,960 --> 01:40:40,040 I mean every, every time I'm talking it just gets higher and 2023 01:40:40,040 --> 01:40:43,280 higher. But not only that, if you follow 2024 01:40:43,400 --> 01:40:48,240 RX Studio on Blue Sky, they are doing I think pretty much weekly 2025 01:40:48,240 --> 01:40:52,360 runs of their games for Roseville Beach and for 2026 01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:54,440 Sharewood. I've signed up to do one. 2027 01:40:54,440 --> 01:40:56,600 I'm super excited to play, especially not just play the 2028 01:40:56,600 --> 01:40:58,600 game, but play it, you know, run by the creator. 2029 01:40:59,440 --> 01:41:02,160 So I'm very excited to do that. But you could definitely do 2030 01:41:02,160 --> 01:41:03,720 that. If you do happen to do that. 2031 01:41:04,280 --> 01:41:07,520 I do think our studio leaves like a little tip jar up. 2032 01:41:07,800 --> 01:41:10,720 So if you have someone run the game for you and you're able to 2033 01:41:10,800 --> 01:41:12,880 to throw some bones, that's a really great thing to do. 2034 01:41:12,880 --> 01:41:14,040 But definitely check out our studio. 2035 01:41:14,040 --> 01:41:16,480 We'll make sure the links to this and all of their stuff are 2036 01:41:16,480 --> 01:41:17,680 below. Richard. 2037 01:41:18,640 --> 01:41:22,320 I mean, they again, I'm sure you'll see, I'm sure you'll see 2038 01:41:22,320 --> 01:41:24,960 at least one or two more games from our Rook studio this year 2039 01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:27,440 because again, we talked to this before. 2040 01:41:27,440 --> 01:41:30,560 Richard's a great, great person and makes great shit. 2041 01:41:30,760 --> 01:41:33,640 So we're going to keep talking about games we enjoy from people 2042 01:41:33,640 --> 01:41:36,920 that we we are fans of. So that is Sherwood. 2043 01:41:37,160 --> 01:41:40,160 No idea what we're doing next.
