1 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,440 Hello and welcome to the Weekly Scroll Podcast. 2 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:20,160 My name is Ryan. And I'm the kind of bloke that 3 00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:22,560 cut off your feet and watch you hobble around for a bit before 4 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,360 shoving you in the river, if you know what I mean. 5 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,200 Think I think I do know what you mean. 6 00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:34,960 And today, today we are going to be reviewing Swivers. 7 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:40,000 Swivers from Luke Gearing and David Hoskins. 8 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,840 This is a fun, interesting game. Anyone that's a fan of Luke 9 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,000 Gearing's writing, which you all should be, will enjoy this one. 10 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,400 And the art from David Hoskins is insane. 11 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:52,800 So this is going to be a fun one. 12 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,440 Yeah, we had Luke and David on a while ago when this was printing 13 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,080 or or like run the Kickstarter was going or whatever, and both 14 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,440 of them are awesome people. Luke obviously an insanely 15 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:09,120 prolific and and and genius in my opinion, I think in our 16 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,000 opinion creator in the indie space, big Clifford lover, you 17 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:18,040 know, and and David Hoskins is just an insane incredible 18 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,080 artist. So this is going to be a really 19 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,520 fun one to go over. What does the back of saw ever 20 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:23,760 say? Swipers is a game about 21 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,800 bastards. You and your gang of criminals 22 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,120 scarper through heists and sewers, stalk through the filth 23 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,440 of the smoke, and if you're lucky you'll make it out with a 24 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,920 few extra shillings. The whole of this city is your 25 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,960 filthy, sickly oyster. Fun game. 26 00:01:37,960 --> 00:01:42,280 This is from Milsonian Arts Council, Troika, and all of the 27 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,240 various things Troika related and more. 28 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,480 It feels like a very Milsonian Arts Council game, which I mean 29 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,800 it is. So I guess that makes sense 30 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,400 there. Yeah, I do. 31 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,840 There are a couple additions that came out. 32 00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,440 I did set up the down camera today, so let's take a peek the. 33 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,920 Down camera the. Down camera. 34 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,400 That's what I at least I called it in my in my my thing. 35 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:12,040 I'm a Bob here. So let's let's take a peek. 36 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,280 So this is the game book. Those in podcast land watch the 37 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:16,760 YouTube. So this is the book. 38 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,240 This is the normal cover. It's very black, white and red 39 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,440 swipers on the top. And then below there is a a a 40 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:28,960 bastard swiper person kind of behind a a fence ish situation, 41 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,280 all chained up, still smirking with the city behind them very 42 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:37,440 red. As I said, black on the back is 43 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,080 the the part that I read before the little Mostonian piggies 44 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,720 logos, and there's a really cool border around the entire thing 45 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,440 that's got crossbows and all sorts of stuff. 46 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,240 And in the in the tops there are these. 47 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,240 It's like a hogs head and like a person yelling. 48 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,840 So this is the standard edition. Don't really need to flip too 49 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,560 much in the inside. I love the end papers. 50 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,440 I don't know if you saw they actually put them in the PDF 51 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:01,760 too. But this design, I don't know 52 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,040 why. Yeah, I just get lost in it. 53 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,240 And I know on the PDF that has it, I don't know in the book if 54 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,920 it prints it, but on some of the pages you can see what a giant 55 00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:13,040 version of the design in the background a tiny bit. 56 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,480 I don't think it comes through on the printing, but in the oh, 57 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,960 it doesn't. In the PDF you can see a little 58 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,640 bit though, but so that's the regular version, right? 59 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,320 And then there was also the Super fancy. 60 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,720 Deluxe. Deluxe edition, which is this 61 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:31,800 one right here I just threw on top. 62 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,600 They golded a bunch of stuff. So the black area behind the 63 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:39,320 swiver, the bastard person is all golded out. 64 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:44,720 And then when you go to the back, you can see that some of 65 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:48,240 this part is golded here in his little hat and and this part 66 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,440 here. I am kind of bummed though that 67 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,760 there was there was an issue where some other stuff was 68 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,560 supposed to be gold and it didn't quite work out. 69 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,000 So they didn't do it. So the whole swivers logo that's 70 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,480 white here was supposed to be gold. 71 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,960 And I believe these these guys in the corners here were 72 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,480 supposed to be gold too. I actually have a graphic of the 73 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:15,480 the mock up and obviously it still looks great but I think I 74 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,720 think with the white against the gold I actually like the black 75 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,880 and red one better. I would say it's unfortunate 76 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:24,760 because without those that go see changes the the basic or 77 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,360 regular edition is definitely more visually my favorite. 78 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,720 Yeah. So this I believe is this is the 79 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,840 mock up of the original 1 and you can see how something's 80 00:04:37,840 --> 00:04:39,200 changed a little bit. Yeah. 81 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,640 The extra designs on the side are great for the the current 82 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:49,360 one, but not having this area gold and not having those guys 83 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,560 in the corner, I think that really sets the whole thing off. 84 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,480 So having just the gold there kind of, I don't know. 85 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,240 I mean, it's still nice. It's still deluxe. 86 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:02,880 I still enjoy it, but I do think that the IT makes me enjoy the 87 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:09,840 regular one maybe a touch more. Also it came with it was this 88 00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:15,800 adventure Marlo docs and I also got this coin. 89 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,600 I do believe maybe it's a pence or a shilling, but this is part 90 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,200 of it as well. I got that. 91 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,520 Did you get the coin situation? I did not get the coin it. 92 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,240 Might have come with just the deluxe. 93 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,920 Did you get Marlo docs? Yeah, I did. 94 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:31,120 I was actually just looking for it. 95 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,240 It was, I was using it for a bookmark, but I actually think 96 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,280 it's on my night stand because I was reading this and that the 97 00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:39,360 other day, so. So the coin, yeah, why wouldn't 98 00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,920 you? So the coin is pretty cool. 99 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:46,160 I enjoy it. It's got a a rat with a crown on 100 00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:52,920 it on the back and then the queen ish person on the front. 101 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,520 You know, God save the queen, or as I like to say, down with the 102 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,360 aristocracy. But to each their own. 103 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:06,760 That's the book. It's nice, it's enjoyable. 104 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,640 It's hardback. It's super big. 105 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,800 I don't know why I love thin hardback. 106 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,480 You know, like the job. It's like not a lot of pain. 107 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,160 The job is like the job is like real thin but. 108 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,560 Yeah, real thin. This is still like regular book 109 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,240 thickness, you know, girth. Yeah. 110 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,840 But is it a weird size? Am I? 111 00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:28,200 Do I just feel like it's a weird size because it's not? 112 00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,760 It's larger than a 5 because there's an A5, right? 113 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,360 But it's not 8 1/2 by 11, is it? Do I have an 8 1/2 by 11 book 114 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,440 floating around? I mean, I have a billion books 115 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,160 behind me. Let me see if I have an 8 1/2 by 116 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,680 11. Please hold listeners. 117 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:49,560 Do do do do do do do do do do. Oh, he's back. 118 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:55,160 So this is an 8 1/2 by 11. I guess it is an interesting 119 00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:00,520 size. It is an interesting size, yeah. 120 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:01,840 I. Mean you enjoy it. 121 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,080 It's on my bookshelf fine, so I guess I didn't really think 122 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:04,840 about it so. It's neat. 123 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,040 Random, random Luka Rescheck art version of New Glasgow Geek 124 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:12,840 Revival. We'll talk about that one day, 125 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:18,040 maybe. So some of the shots it looks 126 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,360 like maybe Crown Quarto. I don't know that. 127 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,600 Size. So. 128 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:35,840 So, yeah, so that is a quick peek at Swivers and for those 129 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,240 who like to hear a little bit about some other stuff. 130 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,280 Gosh, I feel like we haven't done this in so long and I feel 131 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,040 like I forgot everything. But Swivers was on Kickstarter. 132 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:51,960 It funded on some time ago. There's been 26 updates. 133 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,000 Let's scroll to the beginning and find out the exact day it 134 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:59,240 funded. But it funded with 2126 backers 135 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:04,560 for 72,441 lbs. And I don't know what that is in 136 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,680 American, but it ain't a small amount of money. 137 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:15,640 So successful project I think for for a little game. 138 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:20,160 And it funded successfully on March 7th, 2024. 139 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,600 Is it really just, oh, we're in 2025 now? 140 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,960 I was like, yeah, so a little bit less than a year ago. 141 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,560 So it's great. I mean, we got this weeks ago at 142 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,840 this point. So it came out it, it funded, 143 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,600 made, printed, shipped and and got to people in in, in under a 144 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,280 year, which for Kickstarter. Good job. 145 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,240 For the record, it is it did fund for. 146 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:46,160 For those looking for the USD number, it is about 88,000 USD. 147 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,560 Crazy 88,000 USD. Pretty admirable amount for a 148 00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:52,400 project. Yeah, that's great. 149 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,440 So let's let's stop hamming and hawing. 150 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,400 Let's just hop in here. Oh, I'm not done hawing. 151 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,440 Oh, do I need to him more or Yeah. 152 00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:10,480 This cover This cover gets better the closer you get to. 153 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,760 Like it looks great. From far away, but when you get 154 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:16,480 really close to the cover, you're like, Oh yeah, this is 155 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,000 like the like the fire in the background. 156 00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,640 Yeah. It really pops out, you know 157 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,160 like the texture of like this. The like speckles in the back 158 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,000 looks really good. It's really interesting how much 159 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,160 texture they put onto the PDF cover. 160 00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:36,960 You actually scroll into it, there is a paper texture over 161 00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,120 the PDF cover, but there isn't one on the print version, 162 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,760 obviously. Why would you print a texture 163 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,040 onto it, right. But even all the little designs 164 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,280 in the side, like you said, the more you look at it, the, the 165 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:47,960 greater gets. And again, every piece of this 166 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,160 is David Hoskins art and David Hoskins art is insane. 167 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,480 So it's it's enjoyable to to look through the whole way. 168 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,440 But yeah. There's not a lot of like page 169 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,920 art in this, but there are these really awesome massive panels of 170 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,920 like, really like fanatically epic art that I really enjoyed 171 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,760 going through this. And it was like, every time you 172 00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,760 came across when you're like, this is a nice little treat, you 173 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,320 know? Yeah, yeah. 174 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,840 They don't use a lot of spot art, which I think they could 175 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:16,960 have tweaked the layout a tiny bit. 176 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,680 Now that a little bit more spot art, which would have been nice, 177 00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:21,320 but. Yeah, I don't know. 178 00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:24,120 For some reason, even though usually I'm the one that is like 179 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,520 they could use my spot art, it didn't really bother me as much 180 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:29,480 in this one. Maybe because like obviously 181 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,480 every time we talk about Lou Gehring, I talk about my 182 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,480 experience with Lou Gehring stuff, which is Wolves Upon the 183 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:39,000 Coast, which I'm a Are you showing off your mug for the 184 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,640 latency? Mug the triangle latency mug. 185 00:10:40,680 --> 00:10:45,520 Just yeah, while you're talking. Yeah, I just always go back to 186 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:50,080 Wolves Upon the Coast. And while this isn't like a 187 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:53,080 sequel to that in any way, but there's definitely like a some 188 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,800 DNA of it in here. And maybe that's why I was just 189 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,800 clicked into the mode that this is written very much like that 190 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,040 in structural like book, you know? 191 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,360 Yeah, yeah, like it. Yeah, it does. 192 00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:05,720 This definitely bothers me. Less so, but also because the 193 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,960 layout I think suits it. And we'll we'll we'll scroll 194 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:09,080 through. That lamp and yeah. 195 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,080 I think I'm a good fit, but again, yeah, the the cover is 196 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,320 absolutely fantastic. I love the smirk and bastard on 197 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,840 the front and just gets me. Here is the in papers that I was 198 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,960 talking about and I don't know why this design just makes me 199 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,880 want to get lost in it, but I really did get a whole lot. 200 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,080 Couple edibles, just stare at it. 201 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,640 Just stare, man. It just moves, you know, it's 202 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,760 definitely that kind of design that is, do you see faces? 203 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,800 Is it looking at you? Is it looking into you? 204 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,520 Like what? What is happening So well, 205 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:42,400 certainly an Arts Council, there's some, all the rights 206 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:47,720 stuff is here printed. Their font used is Misses Eve's 207 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,520 play testers are here. And then you got swipers. 208 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,360 This is written by Luke Gearing. Additional writing by Daniel 209 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,760 Boyle, art by David Hoskins, editing and development budget 210 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,920 Crater layout by Cade Crates, art direction by Christian 211 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,920 Kessler. Those are all names we've seen 212 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,640 before because they're. All good, yeah. 213 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,600 Solid, solid batch of names there. 214 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,440 So a couple of things here. I do like this part. 215 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:12,600 I will. I do want to read some of this 216 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:14,720 part. Here it says what is Swivers? 217 00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:19,760 Swivers is a lightweight set of rules married to a full set of 218 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,920 tools and tables for running a game and the chaotic sprawl of 219 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,360 the Smoke capital. The Smoke it's many districts, 220 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,160 and the Midden all caps. What a city it is. 221 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:34,160 Corrupt officials, looming war, Rogue Sorcerer's monsters below 222 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,480 and knobs above. Violence rests as thick as the 223 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,320 smog. Nothing is sacred and it's 224 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:43,560 always bloody raining. And then the author's note is a 225 00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:47,240 great part to read here as well. The socio economic factors that 226 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,840 are involved in criminality are not to be ignored. 227 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,880 Not to mention who defines criminality and why? 228 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,160 Which political aims are served by these definitions. 229 00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,400 This game replicates many of the inequalities, inequities of the 230 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,520 world, past and present, that we might examine them. 231 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,600 When we do this, we must ensure we have considered the safety 232 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,760 and enjoyment of our players first and foremost. 233 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,440 I do not know your players nor your table. 234 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,960 I couldn't tell you which tools are suitable, but I can assist 235 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,200 you think on it and take appropriate action. 236 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,640 Swipers is a game about bastards. 237 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:20,800 You when you were a gang of criminals Scarper through heist. 238 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,720 I've read that part before. So the whole city is filthy 239 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,680 sickly oyster. There you go, that. 240 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,240 I like that. I I love the acknowledgement in 241 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:32,000 the beginning of just being like, hey, crime is really just 242 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,400 the powerful protecting their interests. 243 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,240 What is crime? Yeah. 244 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,800 I mean, and the the desperate seeking to survive because of a 245 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:43,720 situation that they've been put in by those in power. 246 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,600 Yeah, I think it's great. Socio economic forces. 247 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,160 Yeah, yeah. I, I, I really enjoy the. 248 00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:52,400 I can't tell you what tools are suitable, but I insist that you 249 00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,280 think on it and take appropriate action. 250 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,040 You know and. That's how easy it is to be 251 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,320 safety tools, man. That's literally all it has to 252 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:01,200 be is she's be like, hey, I don't know what works for your 253 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,480 table. Just think about what works for 254 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,320 your table. And and that's fantastic. 255 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,120 I mean, those that need them, use them. 256 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,680 Those that don't, you know, go watch over those. 257 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:20,440 So so getting into the table of contents here, 2 tables the book 258 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,360 runs to about what is it about 100 ish pages. 259 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,520 It's 94 before the quick reference maps it comes out to 260 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:30,160 95 pages. It's very light though for, you 261 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,400 know, for a night 5 page book. I mean, it was just like, not 262 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,440 that there's not a ton in here, like there's some really awesome 263 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,480 tables. There's it's fun all the way 264 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,280 through, but it feels very easy to get through this, you know? 265 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,040 Well, I mean because part of it, I mean the, the explanation here 266 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:46,800 in the beginning, it couldn't be more apartment. 267 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,880 It says that it is a lightweight is a lightweight rule set 268 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:52,840 married to a full set of tools and tables. 269 00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,120 So realistically, rules in this game you could fit on 6, maybe 8 270 00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,120 pages, right? Maybe it maybe less than 10. 271 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,440 And then the vast majority of the rest of it is tables until 272 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:06,520 you get to some of the later bits. 273 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,400 But the tables are fantastic. I mean, Luke Gear's writing 274 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,600 shines, obviously through all of this stuff. 275 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,880 I mean, because he wrote it, all of it shines because it's. 276 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:21,440 Really great, like tongue in cheek and also like dry Luke 277 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,080 Gearing sense of humor. Yeah, fuck you with the smirk. 278 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,320 Finds so hysterical. That's really good. 279 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,720 So there is yeah, right. Squirrely going. 280 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,720 No. So no, I'm I'm kidding. 281 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,080 So there are there are hyperlinks. 282 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,360 We're working on the table of contents. 283 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,000 Now there's sections Swiber creation, character creation. 284 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:49,120 First we'll have thoughts, this and that, general rules running 285 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,520 Swivers. OK, this one says stop yelling. 286 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,080 So I'm going to work on that one right now because I know I'm 287 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,800 yelling. Running Swivers are schools and 288 00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:02,880 adversaries magic, and then Blue cheese. 289 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,160 Left to Rot is the adventure in the back of the book, which is 290 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,840 awesome. I will say there are hyperlinks 291 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,760 on the table of contents, which is great, but there are no 292 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,640 bookmarks. There are no bookmarks. 293 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:15,760 I didn't know this. Bookmarks. 294 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,160 Yeah, there's no bookmarks table of contents hyperlink though. 295 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,000 That's cool. And then I don't know. 296 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,080 So this is what I'm talking about on the PDF you can see 297 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:31,400 blown to like 100 times. You can see the in paper design 298 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,720 on the background of the paper on the Swiber creation page, 299 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,920 which I think is a fantastic touch. 300 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,440 It's transparency is like 2, but it it's it looks really, really 301 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,600 nice. And then I also do like, I'm 302 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,880 sure you noticed that in the book and I'm sure in the PDF two 303 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,440 there are the little tabs on the side so you can get tabulated to 304 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,320 different sections. Eco mobiles did that 305 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:55,880 color-coded, which is really nice. 306 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,760 But I do like that there are the tabs on the side. 307 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,440 It makes me really think about how I want to like do game stuff 308 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,920 in that way where like it's it's great that you can just quick 309 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,720 flip to it's a third section. Let me just flip to there. 310 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:10,880 I really like that a lot. So then we have a full page 311 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,920 piece of art. Let me full page this for those 312 00:17:13,319 --> 00:17:18,720 looking zoom to page levels of a bunch of bastards. 313 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:22,079 Here we got a person with a a spear harpoon situation, a 314 00:17:22,079 --> 00:17:26,520 crossbow, dagger, sword. Very bastard looking bastards, 315 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:32,600 very dynamic postering. No, no, they all, they all, they 316 00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,640 all, they all, you know, they all look like what I imagine a 317 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,080 swiper to look like. And the, the, you know, one of 318 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:42,800 the things that's just insane about David Hoskins art is the 319 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,840 shading and the line work and the cross hatching and 320 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:46,800 everything. Insane. 321 00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:50,640 Incredible and I love. Listening to this as a podcast, 322 00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,160 like really this is another one. I mean, we say this, I feel like 323 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,680 so many absence, but you really should maybe just drop in this 324 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,160 on YouTube and just look at some of the art pieces. 325 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:02,240 They're really just a joy to look at. 326 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,360 I wish I had this one as a poster, you know? 327 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:07,920 Dude, I say that about like every piece in this book though, 328 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,840 you know, like so true. It's crazy the. 329 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,280 Pieces in this book are incredible. 330 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:17,040 Incredible. And it's just there's something 331 00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:22,240 about how bright everything, the way that David draws, it's 332 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,160 almost like there's a spotlight on things so that there's more 333 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,600 shad shadings or shadows. And then the shadows are so 334 00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:30,800 cross hatched. It looks really, really neat. 335 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,400 And then the textures and like the hair and everything are are 336 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,280 are fantastic. So really amazing piece of art. 337 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,000 And then I can say everything in this book is all David Hoskins 338 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,800 art and it's great. So we immediately, the very 339 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,040 first thing you see is Swiver's creation, character creation. 340 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,840 So we have thoughts on that. Our, our, our, our personal 341 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:56,240 preference is brief, small intro to the rules, right? 342 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,400 Even just like here's the normal die, whatever. 343 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,440 And then characterization and then general rules. 344 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,560 This goes straight into character creation, which is a 345 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,800 thing that's fine. And it's very small. 346 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,720 Some might say too small. Swiber creation. 347 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,840 You're the scum of the streets. Wait, you're you're character 348 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:13,880 creation guy? This is all you buddy. 349 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,760 Yeah, you're the scum of the streets and you'd have it no 350 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,600 other way. So I would start with three 351 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,920 attributes, rolling 3D6 for each attribute that is Constitution. 352 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,560 How much of A beating you take? Dexterity, how agile and 353 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,920 slippery you are, Strength how much of A bruiser you are, and 354 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,440 Swiber have hit points equal to their Constitution. 355 00:19:32,120 --> 00:19:33,440 I love this part. Actually. 356 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,200 This part is great. Swirers have a 25% chance of 357 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:41,480 being literate for on the D4. A reason for literacy must be 358 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:44,640 determined in under 5 seconds or else literacy is lost. 359 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,240 And the example is a mouse taught me. 360 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,960 So really, you can have anything as your reason, and I think 361 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,000 that's fucking hysterical. I also think that if you're just 362 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,000 not quick enough on the ball, Nope, you're not literate 363 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,360 anymore buddy. Hey, if you're not quick on the 364 00:19:57,360 --> 00:19:59,200 ball, you're not quick on. That might be why you're fucking 365 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,240 illiterate, you know? It's been too funny. 366 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,560 So I will start with D 10 + 10 shillings, a ropey Shank and 367 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,160 some Ored rags. So I will start with one item 368 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,000 from the following table. I should pull up a dice roller 369 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,400 because these fucking. Yeah, you're going to be rolling 370 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:16,600 a lot, buddy. You're you're going. 371 00:20:17,120 --> 00:20:19,680 To be. Designated roller, so it is AD 372 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:23,120 100 table that fills the rest of that page and the following 373 00:20:23,120 --> 00:20:24,400 page. So the very first spread of the 374 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,880 game is the character creation rules and then AD 100 spread 375 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,000 trinket table of the shit. How many how many times you get 376 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:33,560 on it? One. 377 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:40,920 All right, so what's your 1? I rolled 25 A thief's hand. 378 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:47,160 Just just a hand. That's that's that's that's a 379 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:50,320 thing. Such classics as a trained crow, 380 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:56,520 a stupid dog, an awkwardly sized riding saddle, a flamboyant 381 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:02,680 handkerchief, huge bag of nuts. Spoiled milk. 382 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,080 Spoiled milk's a good one. Quote UN quote. 383 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:14,920 Poetry. And then and then you're. 384 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,400 And then special sauce is a good one too. 385 00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:21,480 Yeah, and then a sense of pride and accomplishment. 386 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,400 You can also additionally you may roll once on the trait table 387 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,120 below to give some ideas of the Swipers personality and it's AD 388 00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:34,360 20 trait table. So that is that is also on the 389 00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:36,120 this spread here is that D20 trade table. 390 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:41,400 So 19 is familiar, but what is? What did you roll on AD 20? 391 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,200 I got. Proper bricky. 392 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,200 Your your proper bricky. You bricked up some might say, 393 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,080 but man, I kind of want to roll on some of these two. 394 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,920 I'm going to pull up a. Yeah, they're good. 395 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,800 Yeah, these tables are a lot of fun to go through. 396 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,680 Yeah, you know what I should just do? 397 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,640 I'm going to. I'm just going to plug in plug 398 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,120 in my electric dice roller here. It's so much easier than pulling 399 00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:11,360 up the pulling up the other thing. 400 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,920 I do think it's funny because like British slang is like 401 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,520 incredibly unique and I don't ever use it. 402 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:19,080 But also it's like fairly self-evident. 403 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,280 Like later on there's talking about backy wizard and slowly 404 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,120 talking about tobacco and proper bricky is like bricky, like 405 00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:29,680 brick. You know I should, you know, 406 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,200 funny. Yeah, no, it's great. 407 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:37,000 I wish we, I wish Americans were interesting at all, but we're 408 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,120 not. All we do is steal all of our 409 00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:44,240 slang from people that we, in turn, keep down. 410 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:51,480 But, you know, I rolled A4, so I got away with the fairies. 411 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:56,840 Not away with the fairies as in like having a way with fair. 412 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,080 It's away with the fairies as they know I'm away with them. 413 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:00,920 Yeah. Mcleod's type. 414 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:07,040 Yeah, got the morbs always fuming fucking weird. 415 00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:10,080 Dude eager the please a geezer is the best one. 416 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,200 And that is character creation rules. 417 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,200 That's what you get, that's how you get. 418 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:25,040 So there are three alternate basically like pre generated 419 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:28,840 classes kind of beyond just a basic driver so. 420 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,920 Yeah, so the alternate starts, these are for carrier players 421 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,920 who don't want to take the the bog standard scum. 422 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,280 All of these all change the game significantly, so use with 423 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,640 caution, which I think is really especially true about the second 424 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,560 one to use. No trying to start, follow the 425 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,280 procedures given below rather than the procedures above. 426 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,640 They still start with a trinket from the table above though. 427 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,560 So you have a ruined knob. So you were like a noble proper 428 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,280 knob. Your house is fallen and you 429 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,120 must mingle with the mock. So be it. 430 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,280 So this one you start with the higher constitution. 431 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,520 Well I guess it's not technically true. 432 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:14,120 You roll 4D6 instead of three, but you take the lowest 3 so you 433 00:24:14,120 --> 00:24:17,160 know that is probably what much worse. 434 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,000 And then strengths the same way. And dexterity is just three D6. 435 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:27,120 You do have some special rules. You have a weak claim to a minor 436 00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:30,920 title of nobility. Can only retire once this title 437 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,960 is claimed. Has a non transferable right to 438 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,480 bear arms, which in the smoke. You do have to have a license to 439 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,040 bear arms. You can't buy one. 440 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,000 This one starts with a non transferable one, but you're 441 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:45,640 always literate. You start with more more 442 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:53,520 showings. 2 D 10 + 20 and you may not roll on the trait table 443 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,320 preceding must roll on the ability trait table. 444 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:58,520 So if you're looking for a trait for your character that has its 445 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:04,680 own trait table consisting of such classics as absolutely 446 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:09,240 incapable of caring for others, couldn't conceive of performing 447 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:16,440 hard labor, being painfully patronizing towards the lower 448 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:22,000 classes, it's it's good. The next one of our alternative 449 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,480 chart is the rat man exiled. That's right. 450 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:29,280 There are rat men in this world. Yeah, you are a rat man ejected 451 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,400 from their clan. The bounty on your tail is still 452 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,120 very appealing. And you start with less 453 00:25:35,120 --> 00:25:36,960 constitution. That's starting with 2D6. 454 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,840 Less strength, 2D6, but more dexterity starts. 455 00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,040 You roll 4D6. And here your special rules. 456 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,760 You killed on side above a surface. 457 00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,080 If discovered to be a cheese thief. 458 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:56,080 Never begin lyric those D4 fellow exiles starts with D4 459 00:25:56,080 --> 00:26:01,200 Pence and a hooded ragged robe can attack with claws for D6 460 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:03,320 damage plus the chance of inflicting disease. 461 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,280 Determine this disease randomly at the beginning of play. 462 00:26:06,360 --> 00:26:09,560 See page 30, which is hyperlinked. 463 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,880 You are immune.

Yeah, so for newer players or 546 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,360 speed of play, basically just for easy entry into playing a 547 00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,320 game, whether that be it's your first time making a character in 548 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,160 this or you your character died and you want to get back in the 549 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,840 game really quickly. You can use your shillings that 550 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,160 you've rolled a character creation to buy equipment, 551 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,040 obviously, although I don't think it says that before this 552 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:51,000 actually, but the here are some pre made kits that you can 553 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,960 immediately buy with your money and then just drop in with this 554 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:57,960 stuff. They do make entry into the game 555 00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:03,040 a lot easier. They're also I love the I think 556 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,920 the false beggar one's my favorite. 557 00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,000 Like you're just like you're just you're just the piece of 558 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:12,280 shit like Baker beggar. You know you have crutches and 559 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:19,720 eye patch, Oid rags, oid blanket, a decent Shank, 3 pints 560 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:24,120 of of gutter liquor, a bucket, cheap pipe, 10 doses of Browns 561 00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:26,280 tobacco. I think Browns tobacco is the 562 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,440 better tobacco, isn't it? Oh. 563 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,440 You read the table is deeper than I did, if you know that, 564 00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,680 yeah. Yeah, 'cause I think maybe it's 565 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,280 not. I think the the Backy Wizard 1 566 00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:39,200 is. I don't know. 567 00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,560 We'll see you later. And then 48 eggs and a back. 48 568 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,720 eggs and a backpack. You got 48 eggs, bro. 569 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,080 You can cook them. I also really love that it's 570 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:51,680 really whatever you roll as you're starting, you're like, 571 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,800 well, I rolled, I rolled, you know, 10 shillings. 572 00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:55,280 Well, then all you get is a pickpocket 1. 573 00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,600 And that's a great way to just be like, well, I guess I'm a 574 00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,920 fucking pickpocket now. Like you don't really need to do 575 00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:01,440 a lot more than that. Or and the. 576 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,640 Or you could be a false back. I mean, if you have 10 577 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:05,800 shillings, you know you can. Have three leftover. 578 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,920 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I also like that without 579 00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:13,240 saying it, this also kind of which I wouldn't mind if they 580 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,800 also did say it, this also kind of goes, well, there is no 581 00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:21,160 classes really, right? So you can build a class kind of 582 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:22,960 based on your equipment that you pick, right? 583 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,560 Like if you want to be a pickpocket, if you want to be a 584 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,760 mugger, if you want to do this or that, just like be like, 585 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,560 well, I want to be a teacher or whatever. 586 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,400 And it's like, well, then take like classes in a book or you 587 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,360 know what I mean? Like I like that you can like 588 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:35,120 build a personality for your class around that. 589 00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,320 It's really neat. Here, I'm going to do that thing 590 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,640 again and compare it to Wolves upon the Coast, just because 591 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:42,480 that's the thing that I'm most familiar with from Lou Gehrig 592 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,560 and say like that was how that was my favorite part about 593 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,520 Wolves upon the Coast. It had like you rolled money and 594 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,520 if you, you bought equipment with that money and then it went 595 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,720 away immediately as the game starts, you had to use that 596 00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:56,400 money or it had starter kits like that. 597 00:32:56,600 --> 00:33:00,360 So whatever class you wanted to be was 100% based on equipment. 598 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,680 And I, I really enjoy that, you know? 599 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,840 Yeah, yeah, especially when you have something like this, which 600 00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:10,040 is very much like an OSR. It's a framework, right? 601 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:12,600 And that's what a lot of the OSR games realistically are, 602 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:17,760 especially the ones that are very much like not 5 E, AKA not 603 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,720 hand holding you through a pre written story. 604 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:25,800 A lot of them are frameworks where you can build on or add on 605 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:30,480 the rules and or bits and pieces that you want for your table and 606 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,560 gives you the opportunity to customize a little bit. 607 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,920 So having that as an option is really, really great. 608 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,440 And then another insanely stunning piece. 609 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:44,120 You know, one of the things that the thing about Dave of of David 610 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,280 Hoskins art too, is the movement in it and, and all the pieces. 611 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,240 Nothing is just like, just like looking straight ahead at you, 612 00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:51,720 right? The the lady laughing in the 613 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:53,920 background with the eye pinching his nose like every part of it 614 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:58,920 has this really incredible movement and and again, the line 615 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:03,280 work is insane. Going from the background to the 616 00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:06,200 brick on the side. Ridiculous. 617 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,840 Although I was on grounds, tobacco is the worst one. 618 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:13,000 It's Richard's reserve which I was thinking of got. 619 00:34:13,679 --> 00:34:16,280 To get there's a proper. Backy wizard, Yeah. 620 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,679 But yeah, so we're moving on to this and that, and this is just 621 00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,440 well. There's the character sheet. 622 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:24,239 We got the. Oh, I forgot what the character. 623 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:28,159 Sheet I'm sorry sheet. I wonder if this will let me two 624 00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:31,880 view this if it's on the same it is. 625 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,360 It is. It's on the same little Becky 626 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:35,800 back so it's a two page character sheet. 627 00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:38,800 Love it. Yeah. 628 00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:43,920 I love the criminal record. It's pretty long. 629 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:48,080 There's a whole long section for that I do like the IT is it is 630 00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:51,239 pretty sparse character sheet. There's no there's beside from 631 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,480 the little designs around the stats, there's no it's not like 632 00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,600 a crazy art sheet. I love crazy art sheets, don't 633 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,400 get me wrong. I also don't mind a simple 634 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,800 little character sheet too Let. Me tell you, the more games that 635 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,840 I run with my table, the more different games, the more often 636 00:35:04,840 --> 00:35:08,320 I'm like, man, the crazy art character sheets are really cool 637 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:11,800 visually to look at but they're really inconvenient for those 638 00:35:11,800 --> 00:35:13,640 things that you want to notate on the character sheet. 639 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,920 They're outside of what you're like the prescribed things on 640 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,440 the character sheet which happens in the game. 641 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,200 Like you stuff happens you want to add little things to 642 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,520 character sheet. This has a lot of open face, 643 00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,360 which I really appreciate because I my characters take 644 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:28,320 notes on the character sheets about stuff that happens to 645 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:29,000 them, you know. Yeah. 646 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:31,040 Yeah, yeah, yeah, completely agree. 647 00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:34,440 It it is a pretty bare bones sheet, but it it I like you just 648 00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:37,320 said, I think there's a lot of space to do a lot of interesting 649 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:38,520 stuff with it, which is really cool. 650 00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,280 I like the fences part. You can keep a list of who you 651 00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,360 can fence to either standard or a cult. 652 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,280 I'm like oh good info. Yeah, well, I mean, even the 653 00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,040 list for like prismatics and and or prosthetics and ambulance on 654 00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,280 the bottom is fantastic. So yeah, everything. 655 00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,400 And then the inventory, it tells you straight up like I love that 656 00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:56,240 it only gives you the obviously, I mean, why wouldn't it only the 657 00:35:56,240 --> 00:35:58,360 set of the amount that you can Max out all of the different 658 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:02,360 things you can have. But we don't know that because 659 00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:04,240 we haven't got to the rule section for that yet. 660 00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,840 Yeah, right. All right, moving. 661 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,680 On interesting it's not at the end of the book. 662 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,360 I mean, yes, I agree. I there's. 663 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,400 I think I care. I'm just saying it's, you know, 664 00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:20,840 as opposed to what everyone else does, I guess. 665 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:23,440 Yeah. I mean, yeah, because it's nice 666 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,880 to have it at the end because then you can just, I guess, 667 00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,360 print the last two pages. But like if you have APDF 668 00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,320 reader, you can just export these to, yeah? 669 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,480 Yeah. You can print anything you want. 670 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,720 I don't know if if I don't. I don't remember. 671 00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:39,360 If anything, I think, and I could be mistaken because you 672 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:40,080 back. Did you back? 673 00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:41,880 Did you back fibers? Yeah. 674 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,040 Did you? You just got APDF, right? 675 00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:46,920 There's no like character sheet. There's no nothing else, right? 676 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:51,040 It was just the PDF. Probably, but I'm going to be 677 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:54,160 honest, I have to reorganize my files for tabletop games my 678 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:55,760 computer, so maybe don't quote me on that. 679 00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:02,320 Yeah, yeah, this and that. Yeah, this and that another 680 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,760 really great art piece. I also like that some of these 681 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:09,240 art pieces really inform you how how they commit crimes in the 682 00:37:09,240 --> 00:37:11,520 game. Like this guy is like has his 683 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,880 cloak open. He's he's offering to sell 684 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:17,120 things to, to this one guy, to another person. 685 00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:22,760 And behind that person is 1/3 woman assumably pickpocketing 686 00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,800 him while he's distracted by this like seller of cheap 687 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,560 things. It's a really great piece also. 688 00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,040 And I would try to recreate this end game and be like, Oh yeah, 689 00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:36,160 like I hey, look at all the stuff I got inside my coat, all 690 00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,080 my buddies rifles through his drawers. 691 00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,200 Yeah. Yeah. 692 00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:49,760 Yeah, it's a great piece. Sorry, just got to but gorgeous 693 00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,680 piece. So going into this and that So 694 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:56,720 this is interesting that this is the next section in the book and 695 00:37:56,720 --> 00:38:00,360 we had we we briefly kind of been like, it's interesting that 696 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:06,040 that's there. So what is do you want to go 697 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:07,400 through this and that? Yeah, I'm going. 698 00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:10,680 To do this next, this is another, I think, section of the 699 00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,560 book that I really actually read through pretty deeply because I 700 00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,200 like these tables. I also just like the way they 701 00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:17,360 look. I like how it's not like 702 00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:18,840 straight lines. I like that it's like little 703 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:22,080 dotted lines to divide each thing on the table. 704 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,040 I think I just enjoyed going through this. 705 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,760 I mean, they're nice. Looking tables. 706 00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:28,520 They're nice looking tables, they don't feel heavy on the 707 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,440 page, you know what I mean? Yes, I do think it makes a 708 00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:33,080 difference. There's enough delineation 709 00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,320 between each thing that you know where it is on the table. 710 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,680 But it's not like I don't know. I agree. 711 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,040 It's visually lighter for some reason. 712 00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:43,760 Yeah. So for when you got a penny to 713 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,720 spend. The asterisk denotes a large 714 00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:52,160 item that requires 2 slots. Page 35 The little I think it's 715 00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:57,640 a dagger marks an item which must be held or strapped in 716 00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:02,960 place. The # sign or hashtag items can 717 00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:08,520 be stacked in a single you good. Yeah, I love that we're old 718 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,920 enough to call it a pound sign. Hey, it's still called a pound 719 00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,200 sign. Sometimes if you call a place, 720 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,520 they'll say hit hashtag to do whatever they say hit. 721 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:22,320 Yeah, actually that's so true. When players sell items, most 722 00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:24,560 merchants will pay 50% of the value. 723 00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,680 In the case of illegal traceable goods such as jewelry, red 724 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,480 books, family heirlooms, etcetera, a fence will be 725 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:36,720 required. Page 35 and yeah, cash 1 LB is 726 00:39:36,720 --> 00:39:40,920 equal to 20 shillings is equal to 240 pence. 727 00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:48,160 One shilling is equal to 12 pence, 1 LB eight shillings and 728 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:55,960 4 pence is denoted as 1L or L18S4D. 729 00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:00,280 So a little cipher right there for you to figure out the 730 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:04,360 currency. Fuck you, British. 731 00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:14,000 Fuck yeah. I mean, I think these tables are 732 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:15,400 very sufficient and they're also interesting. 733 00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,160 I think the ones where they really shine is like food and 734 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:22,640 drink odds and ends prescribed goods. 735 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,800 So maybe we'll I mean food and drink is there's just funny. 736 00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,360 Like there's gutter liquor and there's good liquor. 737 00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,560 There's there's pretty much a delineation for like products 738 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:36,080 that you can buy from like the absolute fucking trash to what 739 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:39,040 nobles have, you know, but what's good? 740 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,360 Oh God, you have something. Well, I mean, the best part of a 741 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,800 lot of these tables is that with a lot of them, it's not just 742 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,080 ale. There's a descriptor for all of 743 00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:47,240 them. Afters and the. 744 00:40:47,240 --> 00:40:49,640 Descriptors are freaking hysterical. 745 00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:54,520 Yeah, gutter liquor rots your teeth and your belly. 746 00:40:55,040 --> 00:41:01,600 That is, You're spelled yer. Yeah, I think. 747 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:04,800 Yeah. Once again, going through this 748 00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:09,880 is very much Lou Gehring's like, very funny sense of, like, 749 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:13,280 riding humor. Oh, yeah, 24 eggs is on there. 750 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,320 That's so funny 20. Four eggs. 751 00:41:15,800 --> 00:41:18,560 You can eat these instead of a rat rash and but that's far too 752 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:23,920 many eggs. So fucking stupid. 753 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,360 I think we should read prescribed goods because I think 754 00:41:29,360 --> 00:41:32,440 this has a lot of lower implication to it, right? 755 00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,720 So there's a lot of that A. Lot of it is is is random little 756 00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:39,240 stuff. But then there's also like, oh 757 00:41:39,240 --> 00:41:42,880 shit like this is huge. You know, if you if you get this 758 00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,840 book, in which I think you should I really do like this 759 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:46,040 book. I like this game. 760 00:41:46,240 --> 00:41:50,080 You should read all the items in here because they it really in a 761 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,560 very good way, tell the lore of this world without having to 762 00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:56,200 read the deep lore of like the smoke, which is not like it's 763 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,000 not like there's a whole fucking Bible in here of it. 764 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,600 But it's very much that like Dark Souls thing where you read 765 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,800 item descriptions, you learn about the world even more. 766 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:05,520 You know, you know that game. You love Dark Souls. 767 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:09,720 I love Dark Souls lore and stuff. 768 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:13,960 There we go. So prescribed goods. 769 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,080 The first one you have is the forged mayoral seal. 770 00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:21,480 This is worth 50 whatever the highest amount of money was. 771 00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,680 Pounds 50 lbs. I knew that. 772 00:42:24,680 --> 00:42:27,600 Yeah. It's a mayoral seal, force 773 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:29,840 wardens and garments to let you get what? 774 00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:34,560 Get away with it. 50% chance of being discovered each time it's 775 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,960 used after the first. I like that you use it the first 776 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:40,040 time and it works, and after that you can keep trying to use 777 00:42:40,040 --> 00:42:41,920 it. But each time you got to kind of 778 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:43,760 roll to see whether or not it it takes. 779 00:42:45,240 --> 00:42:50,040 You have a forge warden seal only useful in one district, so 780 00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,560 the mayoral seal, anywhere forged warden seal is going to 781 00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:57,280 be whatever district that warden is over it can save your skin. 782 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,640 Guardsmen have got to let it slide when you flash it. 783 00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,000 And once again 50% chance of being caught after the first 784 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,400 time you use it. And then the you have the forge 785 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,120 permit to carry a weapon only good from one district. 786 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:14,480 But Lord Permissible is known for his many agents and the 787 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,520 weapons they carry. Cheers to them. 788 00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:18,720 And then the last one is prepared. 789 00:43:18,720 --> 00:43:21,360 Corpse. Don't cross people you sell 790 00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:22,760 these to. Just don't. 791 00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:29,200 I love that it's forged thing, forged thing, forged thing, dead 792 00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:30,000 body. Yeah. 793 00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:36,320 It's great, yeah. BSO there are there's a mayor 794 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,760 over all the smoke. There are wardens over at 795 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,920 separate districts. You need a hermit to carry a 796 00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,520 weapon within a district. It's just good information about 797 00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,560 the world and how the game is going to work as you play it. 798 00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:53,400 Yeah, Yeah. From there. 799 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:55,400 I mean, there's a lot of tables I think. 800 00:43:56,240 --> 00:43:59,520 Yeah, light and fuel odds and sods smoking. 801 00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:03,680 So when I first started reading armor, I was like why is armor 802 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,520 here? But then I do like that it all 803 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,960 says as seen on this other page, as seen on this other page. 804 00:44:10,240 --> 00:44:12,920 So you this isn't the only place you get armor, but it's 805 00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:15,920 interesting that it's not the same armor page. 806 00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:19,360 So really to get all of the armor information, you need to 807 00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,160 read this armor page and the other armor page, which this is 808 00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:24,640 like the item list armor, and that's like the rules armor. 809 00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:27,240 And you know, a quick reference when you're like out shopping, 810 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:29,880 where your characters are out shopping like this is all 811 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:31,640 together. It's very convenient for that. 812 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,720 It's just not the the rules necessarily for all of it. 813 00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,480 Yeah, but I mean the writing on this is I love this stuff. 814 00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,600 The shield, big and clumsy but keeps you one piece helmet, 815 00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:45,240 keeps your brain box together. And then the cobbled together 816 00:44:45,240 --> 00:44:47,440 breastplate, if you squint, it looks sturdy. 817 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:49,640 Only some sort of popper knight would wear this. 818 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:53,600 Like again, the descriptions through all of the lists make 819 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:56,720 this book realistically. I mean, the writing is 820 00:44:56,960 --> 00:45:01,040 hysterical, But as you said, there's there's lore on so much 821 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,240 of it. Even even as you were talking 822 00:45:03,240 --> 00:45:06,560 with the this, there's a whole thing about smoking and the good 823 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:09,320 tobacco and the bad tobacco and the bad tobaccos and the starter 824 00:45:09,320 --> 00:45:10,640 kit and like all the rest of that. 825 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,400 There this is this is like in this is environmental 826 00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,600 storytelling it through lists and and and things like that. 827 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,160 Like, and like you said, there there is a section about the 828 00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:22,600 smoke and I think it's like half a page as far as like the lore 829 00:45:22,600 --> 00:45:23,400 of the smoke. Yeah. 830 00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:27,920 And there's so much world building in these parts and it's 831 00:45:28,720 --> 00:45:30,960 amazing. I think we're often critical of 832 00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:35,560 like shopping lists in games. Yeah, especially you. 833 00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:39,200 I think this is the how you do that and you make it really 834 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,760 incredibly high value. Is that like there's a 835 00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,600 description for every item there? 836 00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:49,520 All the descriptions are written like in universe, like Lauren 837 00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,080 language. I mean, obviously it's just 838 00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,520 incredibly brothers, but that's in universe still. 839 00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,360 It makes going through it like it's not just like a fucking 840 00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:00,800 long list of how much gold everything costs. 841 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:05,960 It's like an actual information. Yeah, because my, my issue with 842 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,200 just a shopping list, right, oftentimes is you're giving a 843 00:46:10,200 --> 00:46:16,880 value for a thing, but a value of anything is, is supply and 844 00:46:16,880 --> 00:46:19,360 demand, right? If if you really need a fucking 845 00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,400 shovel, that's going to cost and and someone knows you really 846 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,760 need a shovel, that's going to cost you more, right? 847 00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,520 Like if you're a prospector going to go mine for gold, a 848 00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,440 pickaxe is going to cost a ton of money, right? 849 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,800 But if you're just some dude in the middle of like in a pickaxe 850 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:36,360 could cost nothing because they don't need because they have a 851 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:38,360 million pickaxes. So just give me a list of how 852 00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,880 much things cost. Like, I prefer those lists where 853 00:46:41,880 --> 00:46:44,920 we see like this is cheap and then here's a bunch of stuff. 854 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:46,560 This is middle, here's a bunch of stuff. 855 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,040 This is expensive. Here's a bunch of stuff. 856 00:46:48,240 --> 00:46:50,440 Just determine what that means for you. 857 00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:55,280 But but as you said, this where you get the the in language 858 00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,320 Lorne stuff. If you're going to give me a 859 00:46:57,320 --> 00:47:01,760 list of stuff with values, make it funny and interesting and 860 00:47:01,760 --> 00:47:03,800 full of great information and it's perfect. 861 00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:08,680 Yeah, I agree. Yeah, moving, moving on to 862 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:10,840 weapons, because there's a little bit of a note on weapons. 863 00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:12,520 I mean, there's a note on armor too, but it's just there's 864 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:16,320 several different kinds of armor, like how good it is. 865 00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:21,400 But I do really like in the weapons the kind of speaking 866 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:22,800 again to what we've been talking about. 867 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:24,360 The very first one is Shank, right. 868 00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:27,440 And every man in the smoke carries a Shank. 869 00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:29,960 That's just the way it is immediately. 870 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:35,120 I know that every man that would come across in that city is 871 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:38,800 armed with a Shank of some kind. Most of them that they're poor, 872 00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:40,320 they're probably going to be a ropey Shank. 873 00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:42,080 Maybe they'll have a decent Shank. 874 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,440 A noble would have a mint Shank because of the three classes of 875 00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:47,680 weapon. Yeah. 876 00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,760 It's just more, more good, you know? 877 00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,800 I like, I like the the notion to the all weapons are assumed to 878 00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,880 be wearable in a belt or something unless they have an 879 00:47:59,880 --> 00:48:01,520 asterisk. So it's basically like you're 880 00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,600 going to strap this on unless it's too big and all you have to 881 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:07,000 do is see the asterisk because obviously a pull axe ain't 882 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,200 getting a strapped to your belt. You know, a crossbow, a a poon 883 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,400 poon ain't fitting on your belt. You got to go. 884 00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:18,600 You got to when you, when you're looking for some poon, it's too 885 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:23,480 handed, you know? Yeah, the Whalers sling them 886 00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:26,160 about, you know, got a rope attached to them, those pooms, 887 00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:28,680 you know. I like the crossbow. 888 00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,320 A small and powerful. Shame the Continentals invented 889 00:48:31,320 --> 00:48:37,240 it. Yeah, well, the the bigger 890 00:48:37,240 --> 00:48:39,080 crossbow says less small, more powerful. 891 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:43,560 So yeah, the the the writing the self right for again, we could 892 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,720 just talk about this could literally just be a stream about 893 00:48:45,720 --> 00:48:47,480 how fucking funny Lou Gearing's writing is, right? 894 00:48:48,720 --> 00:48:53,320 But still, like, it's not just humor, right? 895 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,720 It's fantastic. And then like the humor and the 896 00:48:56,720 --> 00:48:59,760 dry humor just adds such a, a great level to it. 897 00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,520 And you just do it all day. Yeah. 898 00:49:03,600 --> 00:49:06,400 And moving. Forward there is a Do you want 899 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:07,720 to go over weapons specials or no? 900 00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,440 Oh, it's going to come up in, it's going to come up in the 901 00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:15,120 general, so we can do it there. There's a hired list, like a 902 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:18,320 hireling list. There's prosthetics, a lot of 903 00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:19,800 really good stuff here. I would like to point out. 904 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:25,560 The very last thing on prosthetics though is, is big 905 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:31,480 sideburns free with patients? Just cover it up with some big 906 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:36,960 old sideburns mate. Just fucking oh you lost an ear. 907 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:39,080 Big sideburns. They will see it. 908 00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:40,560 Yeah. Burned. 909 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:41,440 You got burned. Yeah. 910 00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:43,880 There you go. Big sideburns. 911 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:46,280 Yeah. The free with patients thing. 912 00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:48,040 It kills me. It kills me. 913 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,000 Yeah, it's a, it's a, It's so fucking dumb. 914 00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:56,720 God damn fucking I love it. It's the prostate section is 915 00:49:57,160 --> 00:50:00,600 incredibly robust. And long you know what the giant 916 00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,760 prosthetic section tells me? That you're going to need it. 917 00:50:04,280 --> 00:50:12,000 You got to fucking need it. No, it's literally, I mean the 918 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,040 feet one. The lead boot got me. 919 00:50:14,720 --> 00:50:17,200 You can get a feet a foot prosthetic as a lead boot. 920 00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,160 Hope you're not planning on getting anywhere quick. 921 00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,960 Guess you could take a shortcut by kicking down every door in 922 00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:27,160 the way. Anyway, yeah, it's really great 923 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:33,360 and and there's still more. Yeah, there's this section, goes 924 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,600 on for Yeah. The animals. 925 00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:39,960 Animals and then the The Gentleman's Guide to Pet 926 00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:46,960 Discipline or the Geezer's Guide to School in your hound and 927 00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:51,560 basically just tells you what hounds can do and what you can 928 00:50:51,560 --> 00:50:52,880 do with them. And then there's an incredibly 929 00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:57,840 great and long list of breeds of hounds, ignoble and noble that 930 00:50:57,840 --> 00:50:59,360 gives you more information on dogs. 931 00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:03,880 You can absolutely have dogs. I would do it after that I 932 00:51:03,920 --> 00:51:06,920 believe is investments. Yeah, it's AD 20. 933 00:51:06,920 --> 00:51:08,880 Table of freaking dogs. I rolled A-15. 934 00:51:08,880 --> 00:51:11,360 I got the ankle, ankle biter pancake. 935 00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:15,080 It hides very well and always trained to attack at the drawing 936 00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:18,320 of a weapon. Short legged and quite flat. 15 937 00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:24,200 silver are shillings. They're evil eyed mush muncher. 938 00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:25,880 Great. They're great. 939 00:51:26,160 --> 00:51:27,080 They're great. Yeah. 940 00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,560 Yeah, After that you have investments, you can invest in 941 00:51:32,560 --> 00:51:34,400 stuff. It does give you a certain 942 00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:39,560 amount of clout and currency, but does not represent 943 00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:42,800 ownership. You can't own property. 944 00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,560 It's a there's AI mean there's pretty much everything you need 945 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:52,440 for like a fairly robust game. Yeah, again small rule set like 946 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,240 full set of tools, full set of tools. 947 00:51:55,280 --> 00:51:59,040 Yeah, it really is. Cut No, I was going to say you 948 00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:02,600 can make a small like a one shot from this or a multi year 949 00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:07,440 campaign from this very easily. Absolutely. 950 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,560 And then you have improvements that you can do to whatever 951 00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:16,160 property you buy and then do you want to go over one? 952 00:52:16,240 --> 00:52:17,520 We get to general rules, then we. 953 00:52:18,240 --> 00:52:20,160 Get to general rules. Then we get to general rules. 954 00:52:20,160 --> 00:52:23,520 So I, I have mixed feelings about this Nat being where it 955 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:26,120 was. I still do. 956 00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,840 I think having a giant shopping list before you even get to the 957 00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,720 general rules. The general rules being on what 958 00:52:31,720 --> 00:52:34,080 page? Like 2024 or something like 959 00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:39,560 that. 2022 of the book that starts on like page 4 is 960 00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:42,360 interesting as opposed to the general rules being earlier. 961 00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:45,920 You know, the one argument is that it's a book. 962 00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:47,440 You can always flip back to the other parts. 963 00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:51,800 My argument is always, you know, first read, first impressions 964 00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:53,400 are important. If someone bounces off your 965 00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:55,960 stuff like it should be, it should be a good read on the 1st 966 00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:57,200 read because someone might put it down. 967 00:52:57,200 --> 00:53:00,800 There's a million games. And then I kept thinking, why 968 00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:03,200 would you put the shopping list and stuff after character 969 00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:04,480 creation? But it's like, because that's 970 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:05,920 all the stuff the character needs, I guess. 971 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:08,120 Yeah, the character, the character starts with some 972 00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:12,080 shillings to buy stuff. So feasibly a lot of that is 973 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:14,080 some of it is going to be what you buy. 974 00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,280 I feel like, you know, property and investment stuff are just 975 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,440 there by the fact that that's it's already where the shopping 976 00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:21,920 list is. So it makes sense for them to go 977 00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,240 together. I don't know. 978 00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:28,600 I didn't love that it was before general rules, but I don't hate 979 00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:33,480 it, you know? I mean, I, I, there is, there's 980 00:53:33,480 --> 00:53:34,960 a, there's obviously a logic to it. 981 00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,320 Character creations, you have money, you need to buy stuff. 982 00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,480 So let's put all the stuff that you buy and then get to the 983 00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,480 rules. The the counterpoint to that 984 00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:46,120 would be armor is listed and then you list that you can see 985 00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:49,800 armor stuff later. So why not just say you can find 986 00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:53,640 all of this and that to buy stuff with later and then put it 987 00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,080 later, You know, before adversaries and assholes and 988 00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:57,160 stuff. Like it could have just been a 989 00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:01,080 reference to a later page. I would character creation with 990 00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:03,720 like the trinkets and stuff followed by general rules and 991 00:54:03,720 --> 00:54:08,080 then get to the shopping stop and the rest in my mind seems 992 00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:09,800 more logical because you're deep. 993 00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:12,800 Again, you're getting a lot of information for how the world 994 00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:14,840 works without understanding how the game works. 995 00:54:15,320 --> 00:54:19,400 Yeah, but so all of the armor that you could possibly buy is 996 00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,920 in that section. The armor section later on in 997 00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,400 the book is just the rules for how armor works. 998 00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:26,760 That was just that was just I'm sorry, that was just a that was 999 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:30,480 just like an example, right? Like, but like even even even 1000 00:54:30,520 --> 00:54:32,680 you know, smoking stuff and stuff you're like, well, I want 1001 00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:34,080 to start with this or that like it. 1002 00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:35,880 Well, it's because it's called this and that right? 1003 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:40,640 It's it makes sense. There's a logic to why it's 1004 00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:42,520 there. I wouldn't mind if it was later. 1005 00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,280 I I personally would prefer the rules before getting to that 1006 00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,600 because then I'll understand a little bit more of why I want 1007 00:54:47,600 --> 00:54:51,200 the things I want totally. You know, I wouldn't mind 1008 00:54:51,200 --> 00:54:54,000 knowing how armor works before I get to armor and how weapons 1009 00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,440 work before I get to weapons and so. 1010 00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:59,840 That's probably fair. So general rules, there's not a 1011 00:54:59,840 --> 00:55:03,360 whole lot. Another fantastic page of a dude 1012 00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:06,680 died and a lady looking nonplussed. 1013 00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:08,280 Yeah. OK. 1014 00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:11,400 So a lady is not getting fucked. What? 1015 00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:15,480 Oh yeah, because I said and there's a lady and you would 1016 00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:21,440 getting anyway. So there's a lady in a tower who 1017 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:25,160 maybe this person was coming to see or whatever, and I not only 1018 00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:27,760 do I love that there's a million arrows hitting this guy, there's 1019 00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:30,080 a million more coming in, but it's the dude in the window 1020 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,200 pushing him down with like a spear that really. 1021 00:55:33,320 --> 00:55:36,040 Gets me stabbing down to them. Yeah, this guy obviously got 1022 00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:40,720 cornered into a trap, you know, And yeah, he's got, I just 1023 00:55:40,720 --> 00:55:42,840 counted the arrows in my arrow for a guy, he's got 20 something 1024 00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,120 arrows either in him or flying at him. 1025 00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:47,920 I think he's dead. I think that man's dead. 1026 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:50,680 Yeah, well, he's got literally the one that's sticking out of 1027 00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:52,880 his head. I feel like that one might have 1028 00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:55,640 done it and then the other one, two. 1029 00:55:55,720 --> 00:55:57,800 Yeah. The four that are in his chest 1030 00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:00,160 might also do it. The one in his leg and then. 1031 00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:03,200 Yeah, the other, the other many, many that are going to hit him. 1032 00:56:04,600 --> 00:56:06,480 And then that Lady in the window, that's just. 1033 00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:08,960 I don't know. She seems nonplussed. 1034 00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:10,240 I can't tell if she's. Yeah. 1035 00:56:10,240 --> 00:56:12,520 Just like. Well, OK. 1036 00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:14,880 So general rules. Here we go. 1037 00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,200 So this is the rules of the game we talked about. 1038 00:56:18,400 --> 00:56:24,000 The book states that it is a very light rule set attached to 1039 00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:26,960 a full toolbox of stuff. And I agree, it is a very light 1040 00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:29,360 rule set. And as I said before, I think 1041 00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:31,120 it's light to the point of maybe missing some things. 1042 00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:32,520 We're going to talk about that a little bit right now. 1043 00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:36,040 So this is the game. So two, there are two main types 1044 00:56:36,040 --> 00:56:39,920 of roles in Swipers. There's competing roles, what it 1045 00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,680 sounds like, right? You roll against people and try 1046 00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,720 to roll higher and then there's a roll under where you attempt 1047 00:56:45,720 --> 00:56:48,600 to roll lower than a target number, often based on your 1048 00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,760 attributes, but sometimes not. And that's, and that's 1049 00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:52,000 representing the difficulty, right? 1050 00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:55,840 Some people, I hear a lot of people call Swivers like a like 1051 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,400 a like, like Blades in the Dark. They compare it to Blades in the 1052 00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:00,280 Dark. I, I really genuinely think it's 1053 00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:06,600 just like Thief City kind of stuff if there's no real because 1054 00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:07,800 I mean, that's what Blades in the Dark is, right? 1055 00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:09,400 You play thieves in a city, right? 1056 00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:13,600 Yeah, yeah, but and there is like a dice pool, but not really 1057 00:57:13,600 --> 00:57:16,640 because the dice that you is a difficulty, not based on 1058 00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:18,280 activity. There's no real comparison. 1059 00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:21,320 No, there's no, there's not. It's not at all. 1060 00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:24,960 I would. Just say yeah, you play yeah, 1061 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:28,200 you play thieves in A1 specific city, which is what Blaze is. 1062 00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:29,680 You play thieves in whatever they. 1063 00:57:29,680 --> 00:57:31,880 Call this like a Blades in the Dark type of game. 1064 00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:34,560 That's but it doesn't work the same. 1065 00:57:35,080 --> 00:57:41,080 Yeah, again, I think I think it's mostly themes or maybe a 1066 00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:43,760 misconception of the of a quote UN quote dice pool because you 1067 00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,080 do Q can rule 345 D 6 and stuff like that. 1068 00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:49,240 But there's no aspect of this that would be blades and again, 1069 00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:53,120 cut 100 and 5200 pages off a blaze and great game, you know, 1070 00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,480 So general rules, skills and saves. 1071 00:57:57,520 --> 00:58:00,720 I'm going to we're going to wax. I'm going to get pedantic key or 1072 00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:02,480 point out to you when we talk about skills and saves. 1073 00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:08,280 So skills and saves, it's on the player to decide whether their 1074 00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,880 Swiber attempts to do a skill or a save. 1075 00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:14,240 The difference being that a skill represents an action you 1076 00:58:14,240 --> 00:58:16,600 take and a save represents a reaction to something. 1077 00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:18,360 I love that. It's how I like to play games, 1078 00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:20,160 it's how I talk about skills and saves. 1079 00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:23,280 So hearing it written out very obviously that way is great and 1080 00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,720 the player can decide whether they're acting or being acted 1081 00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,120 upon. Obviously the GM2, obviously 1082 00:58:28,120 --> 00:58:30,520 it's a discussion, right? If a Swiber has an appropriate 1083 00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:34,520 attribute, it is used as the target number to roll equal to 1084 00:58:34,520 --> 00:58:37,720 or under right? So it you roll 3D6 in the 1085 00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:43,280 beginning, if your stat is 9 right, you're rolling under 9, 1086 00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:45,320 right? What are you rolling? 1087 00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:49,160 We don't know yet. They don't say it in this 1088 00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:50,320 section. I didn't even. 1089 00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:51,680 Realize they don't say it in this section. 1090 00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:52,640 I wish they would. No. 1091 00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:56,640 Yeah, I wish they would. And then if there is no suitable 1092 00:58:56,640 --> 00:59:00,480 attribute, the GM sets a target number based on how difficult 1093 00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,280 they believe the task to be. And the difficulty is determined 1094 00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:06,040 either by the number of dice used when checking against an 1095 00:59:06,040 --> 00:59:08,920 attribute or the value set by the GM never built. 1096 00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:14,400 So there's two different ways that you can set difficulty of a 1097 00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:20,520 skill checker safe, and that really is determined by whether 1098 00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:25,360 you have an appropriate attribute or not, right? 1099 00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:29,560 I, I'm curious why they say attribute, because there are 1100 00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:34,160 only three attributes. I'm curious if maybe that was 1101 00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:39,000 supposed to be skill because everything can fit into 1102 00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,240 realistically one of those 3 attributes, right? 1103 00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:46,640 But we, I'm going to talk about skills a little bit more. 1104 00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:50,680 But but yeah, we'll get into the issues kind of that I have here. 1105 00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:55,200 So skills takes all kinds, all kinds of skills to get by here. 1106 00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:58,320 So a skill role is used when a swiper attempts an action with 1107 00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:01,960 no guaranteed success, right? Standard OSR terminology, right? 1108 01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,640 It should only be used if discussion and negotiation 1109 01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:08,200 cannot determine the outcome. And I like, I do like the 1110 01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:10,760 explanation here in the way that Luke explains this. 1111 01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,560 Good candidates for skills and skill roles are generally 1112 01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,280 actions requiring training, actions which rely on 1113 01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:18,560 information that the swipers might have access to, actions 1114 01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:21,760 relying on a swipers physique or abilities alone. 1115 01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,360 And then things which can parentheses and in the author's 1116 01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:29,160 opinion, should parentheses be resolved without skill. 1117 01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:33,080 Roles are conversations with NPCS searching locations. 1118 01:00:34,480 --> 01:00:38,880 Stop doing fucking perception like hiding or being selfie 1119 01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:40,840 noticing hidden objects and details. 1120 01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:44,240 Players should be asking the GM. Don't hide important information 1121 01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:46,600 behind skill checks because the players will inevitably be 1122 01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:48,320 failed when you want them to have information. 1123 01:00:48,760 --> 01:00:52,080 Bro like you see a you see a room. 1124 01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:54,480 OK I I explore it thoroughly all right. 1125 01:00:54,480 --> 01:00:57,400 Give me ADC 15 perception, fuck off. 1126 01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:01,480 I will, I will always. First off, great part, amazing 1127 01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:02,960 part. This part should be in more 1128 01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,640 games, but I always point to the time I played 5 E with a group 1129 01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:08,840 and I jumped over a massive wall using a spell I can't remember. 1130 01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:12,400 Who the fuck cares? And I looked over the wall and I 1131 01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,320 was like, do I see anything? He's like, make a perception 1132 01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:17,080 rule, like, no fucker, I'm looking over a goddamn wall. 1133 01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:20,800 There's no fog or anything. And later on, the GM, the GM was 1134 01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:22,920 like, man, I really wish you had seen what was over that wall. 1135 01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:25,240 I'm like, then why'd you make me roll for it? 1136 01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:30,760 He's like, Oh yeah. Like, yeah. 5E coded brain. 1137 01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:37,280 Yeah anyway, so where possible a suitable attribute is chosen. 1138 01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:40,720 See Uncertain skills and saves and then for competing roles, 1139 01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:45,560 both so, but there's a different role for competing roles versus 1140 01:01:45,560 --> 01:01:47,960 the regular role, which has two different kinds of difficulty. 1141 01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:52,240 For for competing roles, both parties roll AD 12, adding the 1142 01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:55,880 most relevant attribute and any relevant skills. 1143 01:01:56,520 --> 01:02:00,480 The highest total value wins. So this is the first time we 1144 01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:03,720 know what dice to roll, and that's for competing roles, 1145 01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,240 right? So then we get to the top here. 1146 01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:10,840 It says when leveling up, Swiper may choose to improve a skill by 1147 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:12,960 one. This means that the related 1148 01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:17,280 attribute value or target value is treated as one higher for the 1149 01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,280 purposes of determining success. These skills should be 1150 01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:23,200 relatively narrow, discreet, and not related to and not related 1151 01:02:23,200 --> 01:02:24,840 to combat. This will come back not related 1152 01:02:24,840 --> 01:02:26,760 to combat. Some good examples include. 1153 01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:28,040 There's a huge list here. They're great. 1154 01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:31,680 Lock picking, which is rolling against decks. 1155 01:02:31,720 --> 01:02:34,360 Acrobats for decks, pickpocketing decks, scaling 1156 01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:36,760 walls, strength bending things, strength, smashing doors down, 1157 01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:41,640 strength drinking contest. Con disguise based on specific 1158 01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:44,840 specificity of disguise. First aid, appraisal of goods. 1159 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,080 Historical knowledge. Forgery, right? 1160 01:02:47,080 --> 01:02:49,600 Those are good skills that you can have, right? 1161 01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:52,040 And there's an example here, two different examples. 1162 01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,320 I'm going to come back to the examples after I explain the 1163 01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:57,760 next two parts, right? So now we're going to get to how 1164 01:02:57,760 --> 01:03:02,080 you roll dice when it is not a competing, when it is a skill or 1165 01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:07,240 save, it is foolish, but it's just because you are trying to 1166 01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:13,520 roll below a certain number. So the more dice you're rolling, 1167 01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:16,520 you're not taking like the lowest two, you're rolling all 1168 01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:18,800 of the dice. Yeah, to get below a number. 1169 01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:21,200 So obviously it's. Potentially harder as you add 1170 01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:24,240 dice to the pool. Which is a really interesting 1171 01:03:24,240 --> 01:03:26,760 I've not seen. If this isn't something else, 1172 01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:29,800 bully for them. I've not seen a roll under 1173 01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:31,720 system where you keep adding more dice. 1174 01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,280 It's to stay under a number. It's on walls. 1175 01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:37,080 It's in walls upon the coast. So, so Luke, so other Luke's 1176 01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:42,360 hearing the other big thing. So, so 2D6. 1177 01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:44,840 An average bloke could do this probably, or something else 1178 01:03:44,840 --> 01:03:47,800 under pressure, smashing down a rickety door, climbing over a 1179 01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:50,640 short wall. So basically the answer to what 1180 01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,520 dice do you roll is never is, is always just. 1181 01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:55,320 It fucking depends apparently right? 1182 01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,000 Like there is no standard I guess. 1183 01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:01,400 The lowest difficulty skill is 2D6 right? 1184 01:04:01,400 --> 01:04:03,600 But it's never 2D6 and add more right? 1185 01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:07,040 It's always you're setting a difficulty with the number of 1186 01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:10,640 dice are rolling. SO2D6 average average. 1187 01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:12,480 Anybody can do this stuff. 3D6 and average. 1188 01:04:12,480 --> 01:04:15,040 Broke bloke probably couldn't do this. 1189 01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:17,360 Climbing out of a pit deeper than you are tall. 1190 01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:20,200 Picking a lock so that becomes like a little bit more 1191 01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:23,720 specialized. 46 attempting this is pretty unhinged. 1192 01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:25,680 Leaping between distant buildings. 1193 01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:29,680 Smashing down a good wall with your fists and then 5D6. 1194 01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:32,160 An amazing feat. Dragging a dead cow single 1195 01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:34,240 handed. Catching arrows out of the air. 1196 01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:39,600 I like if people stick to this and I feel like people are going 1197 01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:45,880 to slide down this though, but basically in that like, oh this 1198 01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,080 seems hardish. I'm going to make it 5D6, but 1199 01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:50,320 5D6 is literally like. That's the. 1200 01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:52,160 Impossible. Yeah. 1201 01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:54,840 You should never be. In my opinion, for most things 1202 01:04:54,840 --> 01:04:56,920 you should never be rolling over 3D6. 1203 01:04:56,920 --> 01:05:00,080 No most. Like actually fairly challenging 1204 01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:01,240 things. I would say probably hover 1205 01:05:01,240 --> 01:05:02,960 around A3. Yes. 1206 01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:06,840 Like anything above mundanes. I mean, I think it's laid out 1207 01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:08,400 perfectly. I I definitely would not be 1208 01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:11,680 sliding to. I mean also I know how dice work 1209 01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:14,840 so I would not be sliding to the harder ones on this. 1210 01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:17,480 I'd be like, you're going to be holding steady at the lower 2 1211 01:05:17,480 --> 01:05:18,800 probably. For most things. 1212 01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:20,320 But because here's the thing too right? 1213 01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:22,760 Say that your attribute is and because you're rolling against 1214 01:05:22,760 --> 01:05:25,760 an attribute on this, if you're if you're increasing dice, it is 1215 01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:27,400 against an attribute number, right? 1216 01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:34,720 So if your DEX is 4 or a DEX IS92D6 to roll under 9, OK, 1217 01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:39,760 right, average 7 you're close 3D6 under 9 average is 9, right 1218 01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:48,360 46 you're what, 5D6? The odds of you rolling 5D6 you 1219 01:05:48,360 --> 01:05:53,640 have to roll 4 ones and like like 1-2, you know, and and 1220 01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:55,360 that's a six right there. That's crazy. 1221 01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:59,040 So. 3D6 for your stats. Like I rolled a couple for this 1222 01:05:59,040 --> 01:06:03,520 and I rolled like A5 for a stat you know I rolled. 1223 01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:06,520 I just rolled 4 for one and a 10 for another. 1224 01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:10,160 See, you could potentially have a 10 for a stat, maybe, but 1225 01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:14,360 you're more likely not. I rolled A10, A 13 and a nine. 1226 01:06:14,960 --> 01:06:17,800 You rolled better than I did. I rolled from my guy last night. 1227 01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:21,000 I rolled a like a 4A5 and A10 that. 1228 01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,120 Sounds, yeah, which is that sounds great. 1229 01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:24,200 Right. You know. 1230 01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:26,840 Yeah, and that's why seals come in and we'll we'll talk about 1231 01:06:26,840 --> 01:06:29,280 skills here in a second. So then we'll get to saves. 1232 01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:30,520 So saves is a little bit different. 1233 01:06:30,520 --> 01:06:32,360 Sometimes you're the one in the shit. 1234 01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:34,240 Saves you used to avoid something usually when you're 1235 01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:37,360 when you fucked up. I love that it is on the IT is 1236 01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:39,560 on the player to decide quickly how they attempt to avoid a 1237 01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:42,120 hazard by rolling under an appropriate skill. 1238 01:06:42,120 --> 01:06:43,720 It does not say roll under or equal to. 1239 01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:54,240 It does not but. In the in the other section it 1240 01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:56,760 says if you have an appropriate, it is used as a target number to 1241 01:06:56,760 --> 01:06:59,320 roll equal to or under. So in the skills and save 1242 01:06:59,320 --> 01:07:05,960 section it does say equal to or under, right? 1243 01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:12,120 We're going to pause for a moment because Hunter walked 1244 01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:15,640 away, right? So in the skills and save 1245 01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:18,480 section, it says if it's fiber have an appropriate attribute, 1246 01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:20,880 it is used as a target to roll equal to or under. 1247 01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:24,200 But then you get to the save section because that's the skill 1248 01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:27,920 and save section. The save says it just says roll 1249 01:07:27,920 --> 01:07:28,920 under. It doesn't say equal to or 1250 01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:30,440 under. So there's a little bit of. 1251 01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:33,480 So it's slightly. It's a slightly harder roll. 1252 01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:37,320 No, no, what I'm saying is this is not the skills section. 1253 01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:42,280 It says skills and saves and then under skills and saves it 1254 01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:45,560 says if they have an appropriate attribute you roll equal to or 1255 01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:48,800 under. It's not separating skill or 1256 01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:49,520 save them. You're right. 1257 01:07:49,760 --> 01:07:52,640 That is the skills. Yeah, OK. 1258 01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:56,240 And then when you get to the save section, it just says roll 1259 01:07:56,240 --> 01:08:00,120 under, doesn't say the equal to. And that like seems like a small 1260 01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:04,880 thing, but it's, I mean, that's kind of important to know 1261 01:08:04,880 --> 01:08:06,640 whether it's equal to or under because that one thing could 1262 01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:10,560 make a big difference. So there are examples here of 1263 01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:13,640 the attributes and why you would save. 1264 01:08:14,120 --> 01:08:16,960 Constitution is toughing it out usually means taking reduced 1265 01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:20,319 damage rather than avoidance, Dexterity, seeing something and 1266 01:08:20,319 --> 01:08:22,359 dodging out of the way, grabbing something, falling. 1267 01:08:22,359 --> 01:08:25,359 And Strength is hauling yourself or someone out, someone else out 1268 01:08:25,359 --> 01:08:26,840 of the way, leaping over something. 1269 01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,880 Pretty standard, right? Again, saves our reactions to 1270 01:08:29,880 --> 01:08:34,720 things and skills are actions towards a thing, right? 1271 01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:40,600 So there are there's another example over here. 1272 01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:45,080 I do want to before I touch on all of the examples, I want to 1273 01:08:45,080 --> 01:08:48,880 hit uncertain skills and saves. So book learning and studying is 1274 01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:51,520 only good for knobs probably. So in the case of a skill role 1275 01:08:51,520 --> 01:08:56,760 or say which does not have an obvious attribute, use 3D6 and 1276 01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:59,319 consult the table below for a rough guideline of suitable 1277 01:08:59,319 --> 01:09:02,240 numbers to roll equal to or below. 1278 01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:05,040 So this is again a section where it says equal to or below. 1279 01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:06,960 But in the same section, I think they're just missing the equal 1280 01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:11,760 to there right as a subject to any skill bonuses. 1281 01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:15,560 So the there's a table here and this is basically a target 1282 01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:17,160 number table, right? So there's difficulty 1283 01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:19,720 description and the value to match a role below. 1284 01:09:20,240 --> 01:09:22,960 So there's easy but under pressure specialist knowledge, 1285 01:09:22,960 --> 01:09:25,200 quite difficult, very hard and nearly impossible. 1286 01:09:25,520 --> 01:09:28,479 Easy under pressure is a 17. It says something else normally, 1287 01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:31,279 but tricky under pressure, mounting a horse, hopping a 1288 01:09:31,279 --> 01:09:35,439 short wall, pretty easy. 17 is a a crazy. 1289 01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:38,960 That's a high number to roll under if you go down to mid 1290 01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:42,080 right, quite difficult. Advanced students might know a 1291 01:09:42,080 --> 01:09:45,160 little properties of a rare and unusual flower or a good 1292 01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:46,319 forgery. That's a 10. 1293 01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,080 The lowest, nearly impossible is a six. 1294 01:09:49,560 --> 01:09:54,320 So no one but the most learned sages, an entirely novel insight 1295 01:09:54,320 --> 01:09:58,880 into the obscure forgery more convincing than the real thing. 1296 01:09:59,160 --> 01:10:02,600 So those are the examples of of those are the values you can do. 1297 01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:04,120 So I want to go back and read through. 1298 01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:07,080 There's two sets of examples of play here based on for skills 1299 01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:08,240 and saves and how they work right. 1300 01:10:08,280 --> 01:10:11,400 So they're good because when I first read this, it took like, 1301 01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:13,000 it did take me a second to be like, so wait. 1302 01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,360 There are really two very distinct ways to set a difficult 1303 01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:20,280 to hear, but I'm still trying. Like, so Big Dave is attempting 1304 01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:22,320 to smash down a door. This is clearly strength. 1305 01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:25,160 Their strength is 14, meaning that's your target number. 1306 01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:29,920 He also has +2 and smashing down doors from his skills because he 1307 01:10:29,920 --> 01:10:31,560 has skills. Somehow we'll get there, 1308 01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:35,080 increasing the value to 16. The door itself is huge. 1309 01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:37,440 Sturdy thing of oak. The GM sets the difficulty to 1310 01:10:37,440 --> 01:10:41,400 3D6 right? So it's a giant door, so the 1311 01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:42,840 difficulty is a little bit harder. 1312 01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:49,640 So he has to roll 3D6 under 16 because he has a 14 and then +2 1313 01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:52,760 for knocking down doors. They roll an 8, Boom, you did it 1314 01:10:52,760 --> 01:10:55,480 right. The next one, Harry Needle 1315 01:10:55,480 --> 01:10:58,560 Jenkins wants to see if the fence is cheating with his offer 1316 01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:01,560 of some paintings they borrowed. There's no obvious attribute for 1317 01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:03,400 this check. Makes sense, right? 1318 01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:06,120 That is, that is a good example of something that doesn't really 1319 01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:08,520 fit under Constitution, strength or decks. 1320 01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:10,800 Is like, can I tell if this dude is lying? 1321 01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:12,120 Right. I want to see if he's cheating 1322 01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:14,440 me. Absolutely great example that 1323 01:11:14,440 --> 01:11:16,520 made it super clear to me for the stuff that doesn't fall 1324 01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:18,520 under attribute because there is no wisdom, there is no intellect 1325 01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:21,120 or anything like that, right? It's con strength and index, 1326 01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:23,760 very bodily skills. So it seems like with a lot of 1327 01:11:23,800 --> 01:11:26,560 or very bodily attributes. So a lot of the skills are going 1328 01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:30,040 to be more of your social and intellectual things or the the, 1329 01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:33,040 the non attribute ones. That's where you can say 1330 01:11:33,040 --> 01:11:35,280 difficulty a lot, which I thought was interesting too, 1331 01:11:35,440 --> 01:11:38,280 because if you look at difficulty, those are all 1332 01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:41,400 physical. The difficulty dice roll one. 1333 01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:46,560 But if you look at difficulty of setting a number one, those are 1334 01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:49,160 all almost all mental, right? Hopping a short wall, but like 1335 01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:52,320 make doing a forgery, knowing a trade secret, those are all 1336 01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:55,120 relatively mental. So that also helped me kind of 1337 01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:59,200 realize that a lot of your setting a target numbers are 1338 01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:02,040 going to be more of your social and intellectual stuff. 1339 01:12:02,080 --> 01:12:05,640 And a lot of your attribute role under attribute stuff is going 1340 01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:07,360 to be more physical because obviously your attributes are 1341 01:12:07,360 --> 01:12:10,200 mostly physical. So this one says they want to 1342 01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:11,160 see if the fence is cheating them. 1343 01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:13,720 There's no obvious attributes. So the GM checks the notes on 1344 01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:15,160 the painting. They're pretty obscure. 1345 01:12:15,160 --> 01:12:17,320 So he sets the target number at 12, which is, which is 1346 01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:19,400 relatively low. It's quite near the middle of 1347 01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:22,280 like the the hard difficulty. They don't. 1348 01:12:22,480 --> 01:12:23,920 Yeah. They don't know much about 1349 01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,360 anything else. So he attempts to beat a 12 on 1350 01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:28,840 three D6 because 3D6 is the average. 1351 01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:33,840 If you don't have it's what you always roll on uncertain skills 1352 01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:37,440 and saves. So as a non attribute skill 1353 01:12:37,440 --> 01:12:39,080 they're always rolling under 3D6. 1354 01:12:39,240 --> 01:12:41,920 He gets a 14 and fails. You can't ask this again. 1355 01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:43,520 He just doesn't know if the dudes cheating him. 1356 01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:45,800 Sucks to suck. Great examples there. 1357 01:12:45,840 --> 01:12:49,000 I think of the of the two ways to set difficulty in two 1358 01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,800 different ways. The other one is saves. 1359 01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:54,360 I'll only do one of these. There's four of them. 1360 01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:56,120 There's 4 examples for saves which are great. 1361 01:12:56,880 --> 01:13:00,200 Big Dave being a huge group Back to Dave attempts to jump the 1362 01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:03,120 edge. Oh, so this is a this is a whole 1363 01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:04,480 story, so let's do the whole thing real quick. 1364 01:13:04,720 --> 01:13:07,720 The group failed to check the path ahead and have walked 1365 01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:10,160 straight into a pit trap. The combined way to Big Dave, 1366 01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:14,400 Sharp, Larry and Gasser Burt caused the false floor to begin 1367 01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:16,360 collapsing. So they failed at something. 1368 01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:18,080 Here's how each of them is going to deal with it. 1369 01:13:18,440 --> 01:13:20,720 Right, right. The pit trap is falling, and as 1370 01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:23,880 the floor collapses, here's what they do Big Dave, Big Dave, Big 1371 01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:26,480 Dude attempts to jump from the edge of the bridge using 1372 01:13:26,480 --> 01:13:28,320 strength. He's pretty close to the edge. 1373 01:13:28,480 --> 01:13:31,120 It's hard, but they set it to a 3D6DS to roll under. 1374 01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:33,240 Right? Physical Sharp Harry attempts to 1375 01:13:33,240 --> 01:13:36,600 use decks to Sprint off the to Sprint off the false floor, but 1376 01:13:36,600 --> 01:13:39,720 he's towards the back of the group or he's towards the the 1377 01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:41,520 back of the group where it didn't collapse. 1378 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:45,120 It's not too difficult, sets a 2D6, but Goss Gasser Burt also 1379 01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:48,240 tries to run using his decks to cross all the way to the other 1380 01:13:48,240 --> 01:13:50,520 side, but he's further from the edge. 1381 01:13:50,680 --> 01:13:54,000 So they set it to 46. So different ways to set it. 1382 01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:58,800 That works great. I'm going to go through just the 1383 01:13:58,800 --> 01:14:01,320 beginning of fighting, and then let's talk about the issue that 1384 01:14:01,320 --> 01:14:02,440 I kind of talked about with skills. 1385 01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:06,320 So fighting a fight means something's gone wrong for 1386 01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:08,160 somebody. Why else would you bring? 1387 01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:09,840 Why else would you be trying to kill someone? 1388 01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:13,840 Makes sense. It should be pretty obvious when 1389 01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:16,200 a fight's starting. Ambushing someone means they 1390 01:14:16,200 --> 01:14:18,640 won't get a chance to react. Ignore them in the initiative 1391 01:14:18,640 --> 01:14:23,640 line in the first round. Great to hit you, roll 2D10, 1392 01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:25,920 which has nothing to do with skills and save roles. 1393 01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,640 It's an entirely different role, which is also different than the 1394 01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:31,560 competing roles, which is AD 12, right? 1395 01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:34,760 Gotcha. And then you add your fighting 1396 01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:39,760 skill, OK, if you roll equal to or higher than the the defense 1397 01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:42,760 value you hit, we're going to take a pause. 1398 01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:45,280 We're going to take a pause real quick on fighting and come back 1399 01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:49,560 to it. Where What does fighting skill 1400 01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:53,160 derive from? I don't have any idea because I 1401 01:14:53,160 --> 01:14:59,640 think if you go back up to skills it says to do, to do, to 1402 01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:04,240 do. No very top of page right 24 on 1403 01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:07,040 the right. It's a very top right OK you 1404 01:15:07,040 --> 01:15:10,520 read it but I can't find. Yeah, this skill should be 1405 01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:15,400 relatively narrow, discrete and not related to combat, so OK. 1406 01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:17,840 Let's So where did the fighting skill come from? 1407 01:15:18,520 --> 01:15:20,320 I didn't even fucking tell you, right? 1408 01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:23,880 And let's just talk about my only real gripe of this game 1409 01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:26,040 realistically is what we're going to talk about right now. 1410 01:15:27,440 --> 01:15:30,560 How many skills do you start with, right? 1411 01:15:30,560 --> 01:15:32,720 We know how to advance a skill. It says at the top there when 1412 01:15:32,720 --> 01:15:36,400 leveling up, a Swiber may choose to improve a skill by 1. 1413 01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:38,000 Where do you get the skill to begin with? 1414 01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:43,600 Yeah, I think my, I agree with what you're saying. 1415 01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:46,800 I think the way that I internally like logic this out 1416 01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,160 is that you don't start with any skills and when you level up, 1417 01:15:49,160 --> 01:15:53,840 you get what you get, a skill to one which is not quite improved. 1418 01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:55,720 I mean, I guess there's improving a skill, just a skill 1419 01:15:55,720 --> 01:15:57,760 you didn't have. You gain a skill, I guess. 1420 01:15:58,200 --> 01:16:01,360 I think it's how it's run. Let's say that is how it's run. 1421 01:16:01,360 --> 01:16:04,640 Then realistically what what should be the book, right? 1422 01:16:05,440 --> 01:16:09,280 That line that says you don't start with the skills the first 1423 01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:11,120 time you level up, you can pick one right? 1424 01:16:12,040 --> 01:16:15,600 And then that means if you buy level 5 you should have 5 1425 01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:17,240 skills. But then also, where does this? 1426 01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:18,640 Where does fighting skill drive from? 1427 01:16:19,440 --> 01:16:21,400 Yeah, that one, that one I straight up don't know. 1428 01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:25,000 So. There's just no, all the rules 1429 01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:26,480 make sense. We're going to keep going. 1430 01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:28,920 I like, I like the rules. It's really interesting. 1431 01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:32,000 I even like how fucking why we're using 18 different dice to 1432 01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:33,280 do 10 different fucking things, right? 1433 01:16:33,280 --> 01:16:35,040 Yeah, I do think it's pretty funny, actually. 1434 01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:41,280 But there's a complete lack of explanation on like I know how 1435 01:16:41,280 --> 01:16:43,600 to do a skill roll, but I don't know where they come from, where 1436 01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:47,400 they, what they're derived from, when I can get them, how many I 1437 01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:50,400 start with, or fighting skills derived from nothing. 1438 01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:53,640 It doesn't say start with three. It doesn't say you get your 1439 01:16:53,640 --> 01:16:56,440 first skill on level up. It doesn't say it says no 1440 01:16:56,440 --> 01:17:00,800 explanation whatsoever on how many you have when you have them 1441 01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:03,760 or or anything. It just says if there's a list 1442 01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:07,280 of like picking them right, which ones are good ones? 1443 01:17:07,440 --> 01:17:10,040 But does that mean how many do I get to start the game with, you 1444 01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:12,040 know? See, I think for me, I think the 1445 01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:13,760 the first part's more forgivable, right? 1446 01:17:13,760 --> 01:17:15,800 You, we went to character creation. 1447 01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:16,760 You start with what you start with. 1448 01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:17,720 You don't start with these skills. 1449 01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:19,840 When you level up, you improve the skill. 1450 01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:22,640 I'm willing to concede that. Could it be worded better? 1451 01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:25,160 Absolutely. The part that actually bothers 1452 01:17:25,160 --> 01:17:27,440 me. Worded it all. 1453 01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:30,600 Word it all right, Could that be put in there better than saying 1454 01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:33,800 you improve a skill like yeah, you improve or gain a skill, 1455 01:17:34,160 --> 01:17:36,480 yes, I think that'd be much, much better. 1456 01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:39,720 But the one that does actually bother me is the fighting skill 1457 01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:42,800 is because what the fuck is a fighting skill bro? 1458 01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:44,880 Yeah, it does. I read. 1459 01:17:44,960 --> 01:17:47,720 Something reading this. No, I have scoured back and 1460 01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:49,000 forth. I have, I have. 1461 01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:53,040 I have control FT skill to try to find more if it's in there. 1462 01:17:53,280 --> 01:17:54,880 My God I don't know how I missed it. 1463 01:17:54,880 --> 01:17:57,560 I would love someone to explain it a little bit better, but as 1464 01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:00,440 far as I can tell on reading this book like three times and 1465 01:18:00,440 --> 01:18:04,920 really trying to dig, there is no explanation on how many 1466 01:18:04,920 --> 01:18:11,720 skills you start with or when. Like you can improve a skill, 1467 01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:13,200 but when can you take one, right? 1468 01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:15,600 We can intuit parts, we can guess at parts, right? 1469 01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:18,840 But that's not you really shouldn't be guessing in the 1470 01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:20,000 rules. The rules should tell you. 1471 01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:23,200 And then there's no explanation what's wrong or what the 1472 01:18:23,200 --> 01:18:25,640 fighting skill is derived from at all. 1473 01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:27,520 Is it from your decks? Is it from your range to the 1474 01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:29,520 change based on the weapon type? Because we do. 1475 01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:31,960 We do understand how the defense works because defense is part of 1476 01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:35,760 your initiative. But like fighting skill again, 1477 01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:40,280 unless I'm like a completely miss it maybe did have we did we 1478 01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:42,880 dig through the weapon section is like somehow the weapons 1479 01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:44,320 related? To the fight Weapons. 1480 01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:50,000 Right now, weapons are only they only denote damage lengths, how 1481 01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:52,520 many hands they take to wield, anything special about them. 1482 01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:57,120 Yeah, so we. Have to miss something. 1483 01:18:57,120 --> 01:18:59,800 There has to be. Something if we missed it, you 1484 01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:02,600 know, fuck us, right? But from what I can tell 1485 01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:06,120 specifically you, yeah, right, me specifically, fuck me. 1486 01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:10,760 But it just seems as if it's just missing, like it's just 1487 01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:14,560 missing there, there. There's no that we can find 1488 01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:19,040 explanation on how many skills you start with when you can take 1489 01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:20,480 them. Other than that you can improve 1490 01:19:20,480 --> 01:19:23,680 them at level up or what your fighting skill is or what it's 1491 01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:25,760 derived from. Because when you go back to the 1492 01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:29,360 character creation section, the only derived number it gives you 1493 01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:32,160 is what your your constitution, right? 1494 01:19:32,160 --> 01:19:38,200 Is that what it it says that your hit points equal to 1495 01:19:38,200 --> 01:19:39,640 constitution? Yeah. 1496 01:19:40,240 --> 01:19:42,440 It doesn't say like fighting scale equal to strength or 1497 01:19:42,440 --> 01:19:46,320 something like that. You know I did use the the quick 1498 01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:48,840 tool to go back to the table of contents to go back to the. 1499 01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:50,440 I did too. I've used. 1500 01:19:50,440 --> 01:19:51,560 It's so good. It's really. 1501 01:19:51,560 --> 01:19:53,640 Good. Please, everybody do this. 1502 01:19:53,640 --> 01:19:54,520 Everybody. Everyone. 1503 01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:56,560 Do this. There's no reason to not do it. 1504 01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:58,440 It's amazing. It's crazy, yeah. 1505 01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:00,960 If you're going to hyperlink your table of contents, having 1506 01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:02,920 just A1 little button on the page that also takes you back to 1507 01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:07,000 the table of contents makes the it's infinitely more navigable. 1508 01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:10,160 It's so great. And I assume that hyperlink can 1509 01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:11,680 just be like copy pasted through. 1510 01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:15,200 I mean, we'll see anyway. So that is the big ripe that we 1511 01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:17,920 have for the game. Other than that, that that's 1512 01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:19,120 pretty much it and we're going to go through the. 1513 01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:21,440 Rest of the rules OK what is binding scale? 1514 01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:24,560 Right, so then we get let's go back to fighting real quick, run 1515 01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:26,280 through that again. So basically when you fight, 1516 01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:29,160 right to fight, you roll 2D10, you add your fighting skill, 1517 01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:31,760 don't know what that is. And then if you roll equal to or 1518 01:20:31,760 --> 01:20:33,840 higher than the defense value, you hit. 1519 01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:35,720 That's easy. So fighting is equal to or 1520 01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:38,400 higher and skills and saves is equal to or lower. 1521 01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:45,400 But fighting is 2D10 and skills are D6D62 D 63646, right? 1522 01:20:46,520 --> 01:20:49,560 And then there's a table here for critical miss. 1523 01:20:49,800 --> 01:20:51,760 If you go to the top of the next page it says when a player roles 1524 01:20:51,760 --> 01:20:55,120 2 results of 10 on an attack role they instantly slay the 1525 01:20:55,120 --> 01:20:58,520 target if possible. Love that if you crit on 2D10 1526 01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:01,320 they're fucking dead. I enjoy that. 1527 01:21:01,320 --> 01:21:06,320 I like non bullet spongy stuff. If the PCs roll double 10s it's 1528 01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:07,440 just it. Whatever, Fuck them. 1529 01:21:07,840 --> 01:21:10,560 Rolling 2 results of a one in your attack means you fumble. 1530 01:21:10,840 --> 01:21:13,600 Not only do you miss, but you might have really cocked up. 1531 01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:16,160 You roll in the critical miss table, it's really cocked up. 1532 01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:19,240 Yeah. So if it's a melee it's AD 8 and 1533 01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:22,640 if it's range is AD 4. So hit me AD 8 and AD four and 1534 01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:28,920 let's see how bad you fucked up. Sorry if I got distracted, my 1535 01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:31,000 dad just text me. They're 20. 1536 01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:34,640 He's 20 miles West of the Palisades fire right now, so. 1537 01:21:34,680 --> 01:21:36,160 Oh, he shouldn't move away from there. 1538 01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:39,800 I'm like you should leave dude. Like a real double ones. 1539 01:21:40,520 --> 01:21:43,520 Oh sick couldn't, I mean honestly couldn't ask for more. 1540 01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:51,000 So one just an appalling miss, thankfully for a melee, and then 1541 01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:55,000 the some of the later ones you trip and fall like a big dumb 1542 01:21:55,000 --> 01:22:01,040 idiot. Counting is prone until you get 1543 01:22:01,040 --> 01:22:02,680 up again. The swing connects with the 1544 01:22:02,680 --> 01:22:05,080 nearest ally. The weapon isn't just damaged, 1545 01:22:05,240 --> 01:22:06,600 you've gone and bloody broken it. 1546 01:22:06,600 --> 01:22:10,440 Love it, it's a great list. And then D4 the ranged 1. 1547 01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:16,480 I'll check that in just one second. 1548 01:22:16,480 --> 01:22:19,320 The weapon snaps has a mechanical function, it's 1549 01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:21,160 broken. You managed to ricochet the shot 1550 01:22:21,160 --> 01:22:24,200 back at yourself. Rolled the weapon snaps as a 1551 01:22:24,200 --> 01:22:25,680 mechanical function. It's broken, right? 1552 01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:33,080 Yeah, I saw. That message in chat now and now 1553 01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:36,000 I'm interested as well. And do I have like a not do I 1554 01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:38,680 have like a non updated version of the PDF that I will get the 1555 01:22:38,680 --> 01:22:41,880 most recent version? Yeah, I don't know. 1556 01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:46,200 So some of the chat just yeah, just kind of just listed us a 1557 01:22:46,200 --> 01:22:48,800 thing here. Maybe maybe that we just have 1558 01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:49,840 like an older version of the PDF. 1559 01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:51,680 I thought I got the one that was marked final. 1560 01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:57,720 And if not do that page 32, then we will get to it in just a 1561 01:22:57,720 --> 01:23:00,800 minute. So damage, this is how damage 1562 01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:01,880 works. You roll damage. 1563 01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:05,320 The defender rolls armor because armor and this, and we'll get to 1564 01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:06,960 it in a little bit is is like Mark Borg. 1565 01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:11,920 You have a a dicey roll for your armor and then the armor value 1566 01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:13,920 is deducted from the damage. If it's zero, it's zero. 1567 01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:15,880 Boom, there you go. Actions in a round. 1568 01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:20,120 So this has kind of like a, a, a, a Warhammer fantasy RP role 1569 01:23:20,120 --> 01:23:21,760 play thing. You have full actions and half 1570 01:23:21,760 --> 01:23:25,360 actions each set. Each round is 6 seconds. 1571 01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:28,120 It may take one full action or two half actions. 1572 01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:32,800 So full actions is engaging in melee combat, disengaging from 1573 01:23:32,800 --> 01:23:34,960 melee combat, aiming at shooting and grabbing an item from your 1574 01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:38,840 belt and using it, casting a spell, fetching something from 1575 01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:40,920 your Packer sack, full action. That's all you can do in a 1576 01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:42,920 round. And then half actions is running 1577 01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:44,880 away. You'll go further if you do 1578 01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:48,000 nothing, snapping off a quick shot out of -4 penalty. 1579 01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:49,800 Which I think is really interesting to just be able. 1580 01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:51,880 Like I didn't even aim. I just thought shouted out there 1581 01:23:52,480 --> 01:23:55,640 drawing an item from a bag but not using it and then passing an 1582 01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:57,640 item to someone else. I like that. 1583 01:23:57,640 --> 01:24:00,960 And I like that it gives you that's obviously not everything 1584 01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:04,560 you can do right, right. I like that it gives you the the 1585 01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:07,720 enough that it's a vibe and basically like doing a big thing 1586 01:24:07,720 --> 01:24:10,040 is a full action and doing a small thing is half action is 1587 01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:12,560 wrong with that. And I and I do love the full 1588 01:24:12,560 --> 01:24:15,440 action to half action thing. It's a it's something to think 1589 01:24:15,440 --> 01:24:19,520 about with all of the games as opposed to the you get an action 1590 01:24:19,520 --> 01:24:22,040 and a move situation. You know, it's, it's 1591 01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:24,960 interesting. Defense is an initiative. 1592 01:24:24,960 --> 01:24:27,320 So this is interesting. I don't remember what version of 1593 01:24:27,320 --> 01:24:33,120 older, you know, D&D used this. I need to dig into the older 1594 01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:36,960 stuff more. But basically the defense is 1595 01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:39,840 based on your weapon, as is your initiative. 1596 01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:41,880 And nobody wants to get hit. So being armed is the best way 1597 01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:43,760 to stop that. So there's a, there's a list 1598 01:24:43,760 --> 01:24:47,280 here of, of how that how, how it works, right. 1599 01:24:47,280 --> 01:24:52,240 And it goes, you begin casting a spell that finishes at the end 1600 01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:54,840 of the round, and that's the first round, right? 1601 01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:57,720 Like first in the round is whoever's casting a spell and 1602 01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:00,760 their defense value is 6. So that is your initiative. 1603 01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:02,160 No one rolls initiative or do whatever. 1604 01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:05,480 If someone's casting a spell, they go 1st and their defense is 1605 01:25:05,480 --> 01:25:11,320 at six, and you have to roll over that right equal to or over 1606 01:25:11,320 --> 01:25:13,920 to get hit, right? If you're shooting something, 1607 01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:15,840 your defense value is a six and you go next. 1608 01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:17,240 Then if you're unarmed, it's a six. 1609 01:25:17,480 --> 01:25:20,360 Short weapon is an 8. Medium weapon is A10 short 1610 01:25:20,360 --> 01:25:23,400 weapon plus shield is A10. Long weapon is A10. 1611 01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:26,280 Medium weapon plus shield is a 12, and then long weapon plus 1612 01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:28,080 shield is a 12. And they go very last in the 1613 01:25:28,080 --> 01:25:30,960 round. So it really goes from casting a 1614 01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:35,200 spell to the bulkiest shit you can be carrying in that order 1615 01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:38,160 every round, right? Nice. 1616 01:25:38,160 --> 01:25:40,280 And then there's some explanation of that, too. 1617 01:25:40,280 --> 01:25:43,000 You resolve actions down from the top of the table, except on 1618 01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:45,120 the first round of combat where the order is reversed. 1619 01:25:45,480 --> 01:25:48,360 Why? I had my guess. 1620 01:25:48,960 --> 01:25:54,080 My guess my what I thought in my head, what made sense is that 1621 01:25:54,080 --> 01:25:58,600 two groups are coming together right Then the longest weapon 1622 01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:02,520 would hit the the the closest person 1st and vice versa. 1623 01:26:02,520 --> 01:26:04,960 Like until you get to the lowest weapon and people shooting would 1624 01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:07,120 probably be farther back. So it kind of makes sense on the 1625 01:26:07,120 --> 01:26:09,240 first round of combat. But there's no, there's no it 1626 01:26:09,240 --> 01:26:11,080 didn't say that anywhere. I just I'm just guessing that 1627 01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:12,720 that might be it. I'm fine with that. 1628 01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:15,480 Internal logic, you know, I wouldn't mind. 1629 01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:18,920 I wouldn't mind an explanation of why I don't mind it. 1630 01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:21,280 That's cool. So actions are resolved in the 1631 01:26:21,280 --> 01:26:23,040 initiative order outlined at the left. 1632 01:26:23,040 --> 01:26:28,640 This is another reminder to people, don't put directions to 1633 01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:31,000 your tables, just put the name of the table. 1634 01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:34,920 Because I'm reading APDF and pages so the left is checked, 1635 01:26:35,920 --> 01:26:39,520 just name the table. Elections are resolved in 1636 01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:43,560 initiative order with the announcement of spells being 1637 01:26:43,560 --> 01:26:46,680 cast and we'll get to magic later and then I'll going down. 1638 01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:50,640 Ties with NPCS are resolved with an opposed D6 roll. 1639 01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:54,080 Ties between 5 is negotiated monsters that do not use weapons 1640 01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:55,920 are given an initiative value in their stat block. 1641 01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:58,200 Boom. I I like this a lot. 1642 01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:00,800 I like being like don't worry about when your initiative order 1643 01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:03,520 is what kind of weapon you has just tells you because after the 1644 01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:06,240 first round you know what the other people have and it's 1645 01:27:06,240 --> 01:27:10,520 interesting very easy yeah. And then there's a difference 1646 01:27:10,520 --> 01:27:12,600 for when defending against ranged attacks. 1647 01:27:12,600 --> 01:27:15,480 So when defending against range attacks, the above values are 1648 01:27:15,480 --> 01:27:17,440 placed with no shield was 12, shield is 16. 1649 01:27:17,440 --> 01:27:21,840 Basically like that's good for you cover ads +2 charging is a 1650 01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:25,920 thing you can do. Which when I read set on weapons 1651 01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:28,240 before and the and the item stuff made no fucking sense to 1652 01:27:28,240 --> 01:27:29,480 me. So I had to recharging to 1653 01:27:29,480 --> 01:27:31,760 understand setting weapon which we'll get to in a second. 1654 01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:36,240 But basically you can charge and combatant to charge reverse the 1655 01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:38,360 initiative order for those involved in combat with them, 1656 01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:42,400 meaning longer weapons strike first if you're charging. 1657 01:27:42,480 --> 01:27:46,320 Which is also what made me think, OK maybe that's why it's 1658 01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:49,040 reversed on the first round because longer weapon you'd hit 1659 01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:51,880 them first. You know Swiber who charge 1660 01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:53,480 obtraps 2 from their defense value. 1661 01:27:53,480 --> 01:27:55,720 If they're successful, they roll twice the usual number of 1662 01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:57,960 damage. Cool attacks against prone 1663 01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:02,080 automatically hit, but plus forward against missiles. 1664 01:28:02,440 --> 01:28:04,440 Flanking is interesting because there's two different things you 1665 01:28:04,440 --> 01:28:08,360 get for it. So different angles of flanking 1666 01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:12,800 do more. So if you're attacking are made 1667 01:28:12,840 --> 01:28:16,680 against the unarmed defense value if you're directly behind 1668 01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:21,000 them, so it's like a six. But if you're attacking or from 1669 01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:23,920 the flanks, which I guess is the angles that are still kind of 1670 01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:27,400 behind but not directly behind, you get a + 2 bonus to hit. 1671 01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:29,240 I like that. I think that's interesting. 1672 01:28:29,240 --> 01:28:32,640 It gives it gives more variety for your ability because I hate 1673 01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:34,760 being like, oh man, I'm only one block away from being able to 1674 01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:37,520 flank them, but it's like, Oh no, you're still behind them 1675 01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:38,640 ish. Give them a little bonus. 1676 01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:40,560 I think that's interesting. Yeah, I think that's good. 1677 01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:44,360 I I appreciate the distinction between those things. 1678 01:28:44,480 --> 01:28:48,120 Yeah, OK, weapons real quick. Three varieties, ropy, average 1679 01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:52,120 and mint right, Very British way of saying shitty, OK and great, 1680 01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:55,480 right. Ropy rolls damage twice and 1681 01:28:55,480 --> 01:28:59,840 takes a lower decent roll once and mint rolls damage twice and 1682 01:28:59,840 --> 01:29:01,120 takes a higher. I love that. 1683 01:29:01,200 --> 01:29:04,720 I I love when, especially if a game is just like AD 6 game and 1684 01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:08,120 like instead of like light, medium and two handed, whatever 1685 01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:11,120 is just D6 disadvantaged D6 and D6 advantage. 1686 01:29:11,120 --> 01:29:12,520 I love that. And this is a way to do that. 1687 01:29:13,440 --> 01:29:16,040 So they have 3 qualities and three links. 1688 01:29:16,240 --> 01:29:18,920 Short, long, short, medium and long, right? 1689 01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:21,920 Short you can use while grappling, which is interesting. 1690 01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:25,480 Medium nothing special. And long are very awkward in 1691 01:29:25,480 --> 01:29:27,080 current quarters. So if you're in a tight space, 1692 01:29:27,080 --> 01:29:29,800 you have a -, 4 penalty and then set. 1693 01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:31,960 This is the one that like fucked me up for a little bit till I 1694 01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:34,600 realized what setting a weapon meant because I, I in my head, I 1695 01:29:34,600 --> 01:29:37,560 kept seeing a crossbow like setting the crossbow right, but 1696 01:29:37,760 --> 01:29:41,200 it's more of like setting the pole arm against your boot so 1697 01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:44,880 that something running actually runs into it because it says 1698 01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:48,120 weapons which can be set can receive a charge. 1699 01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:50,840 And in my head, when I first saw that, I was like. 1700 01:29:51,040 --> 01:29:53,640 You receive a charge of something, yeah, but it's 1701 01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:55,400 actually. Like charging on my weapon. 1702 01:29:55,520 --> 01:30:01,120 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You shut your weapons, you can 1703 01:30:01,240 --> 01:30:03,360 receive their charge and they take damage. 1704 01:30:03,400 --> 01:30:07,520 Yes, yes. So it is more explained in that 1705 01:30:07,520 --> 01:30:09,480 could be explained a tiny bit better. 1706 01:30:09,480 --> 01:30:12,720 But like in the context of once you read the charging and get to 1707 01:30:12,720 --> 01:30:14,320 it, you get there, you get there. 1708 01:30:15,640 --> 01:30:17,440 Setting to receive comes in the shooting phase. 1709 01:30:17,440 --> 01:30:21,280 Blah, blah, blah, reach weapons. There's there's bonuses. 1710 01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:23,160 I'm not going to go over all of them by the fucking book. 1711 01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:26,360 So reach weapons mean that you can reach farther half sorting 1712 01:30:26,360 --> 01:30:28,880 means it can be wielded in a shortened form. 1713 01:30:29,040 --> 01:30:31,560 So instead of having that long weapon that you can't use up 1714 01:30:31,560 --> 01:30:34,840 tight, you can you can grab it halfway and and still poke Armor 1715 01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:36,840 piercing. Yeah, armor piercing. 1716 01:30:36,840 --> 01:30:39,320 Guess what it does thrusting. Guess what you do right? 1717 01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:43,320 I would say combat in this game pretty fun. 1718 01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:45,400 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, yeah. 1719 01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:48,520 It sounds like you can do a lot of stuff, all of it. 1720 01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:51,480 Like there's a lot of rules packed in right here. 1721 01:30:53,000 --> 01:30:57,200 All of them are fairly like maybe not intuitive mind. 1722 01:30:57,200 --> 01:30:58,400 That would be the word I'm looking for. 1723 01:30:58,400 --> 01:31:01,840 But there is a like a logic, a through line of logic that makes 1724 01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:03,880 total sense as you go through and you're like, yeah, that 1725 01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:06,880 makes sense. If you can charge in this game, 1726 01:31:07,080 --> 01:31:10,560 in real life, if I charge at somebody who has a halberd out 1727 01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:13,560 and they're set like they're, they're braced for me to charge 1728 01:31:13,560 --> 01:31:15,040 like I'm going to fucking get hit. 1729 01:31:16,320 --> 01:31:19,040 So it makes sense that that would work the same in this game 1730 01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:20,480 and. So it makes sense. 1731 01:31:20,520 --> 01:31:23,600 And, and, and I mean, we see a lot of rules. 1732 01:31:23,600 --> 01:31:25,600 We feel like 2 pages. Again, this is not a heavy 1733 01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:28,240 system, but there is a decent amount of like extras and one of 1734 01:31:28,240 --> 01:31:30,080 the other things that I love about this comment system we're 1735 01:31:30,080 --> 01:31:32,680 going to keep going over a little bit more is none of it is 1736 01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:35,320 hidden behind a feet wall. Like I don't need a heroic feat 1737 01:31:35,320 --> 01:31:39,880 to fucking set a charge. Like I don't need to to to do 1738 01:31:39,880 --> 01:31:44,440 something special to get the ability to to also stab someone 1739 01:31:44,440 --> 01:31:45,680 with my weapon while I'm grappling. 1740 01:31:45,680 --> 01:31:49,760 I fucking hate when games hide things that you should just be 1741 01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:54,120 able to do behind a heroic feat or feats in general or anything 1742 01:31:54,120 --> 01:31:55,400 like that. And yes, I'm talking about 5E 1743 01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:58,720 and Dragon band. It really irritates me when like 1744 01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:01,320 I can just logically be like, but I just stabbed them. 1745 01:32:05,880 --> 01:32:10,280 So we're we're getting to armor. Armor is soaked, right? 1746 01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:12,240 We've already talked about this a tiny bit. 1747 01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:14,640 So there's different varieties, different types, everything. 1748 01:32:14,640 --> 01:32:18,280 The die size listed is the damage absorbed and basically 1749 01:32:22,080 --> 01:32:23,720 the rest being applied to the HP. 1750 01:32:23,720 --> 01:32:26,040 Yeah, it's soaked, but you roll for it exactly in the other one. 1751 01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:27,440 So you get multiple types of armor. 1752 01:32:27,440 --> 01:32:30,280 You get Patrick armor, rolls soaked twice and uses the lower 1753 01:32:30,480 --> 01:32:33,160 decent roll soaked once and then Swank rolls twice and rolls 1754 01:32:33,160 --> 01:32:34,480 higher, which is the same way weapons work. 1755 01:32:34,480 --> 01:32:35,960 And I love that there's a cohesiveness to it. 1756 01:32:37,320 --> 01:32:41,920 There's a list of armors here and there's a bigger list on the 1757 01:32:42,480 --> 01:32:45,920 this and that for that, right? Shields exist. 1758 01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:49,640 They basically are one time use, take all your damage and then 1759 01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:52,240 they're broken and then helmets heavy armor. 1760 01:32:52,800 --> 01:32:55,480 Yeah, helmets heavy armor and broken bones is interesting 1761 01:32:55,480 --> 01:32:57,560 because you when you get hit, you break a lot of bones and 1762 01:32:57,560 --> 01:33:01,520 shit gets fucked up really hard. But what heavy armor does, the 1763 01:33:01,520 --> 01:33:07,000 benefit it gives you is you roll A3 plus on your death and 1764 01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:09,080 dismemberment table, which we'll go over in just a second. 1765 01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:13,400 So each time it rolls a three over and when we get to the 1766 01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:15,000 three over, you'll see that it breaks bones. 1767 01:33:15,200 --> 01:33:17,680 It instead doesn't and just breaks the piece of armor. 1768 01:33:19,200 --> 01:33:22,080 So every piece you have a piece of heavy armor can take one hit 1769 01:33:22,080 --> 01:33:24,120 that would break a bone before breaking a bone. 1770 01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:27,440 And then the helmet always goes. If you have heavy armor, you 1771 01:33:27,440 --> 01:33:29,120 always have a helmet and that covers your head. 1772 01:33:29,800 --> 01:33:33,040 I like that. It's a way you add a whole new 1773 01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:35,520 level of the game with that without really adding too much 1774 01:33:35,520 --> 01:33:37,360 weight to the to the system at all. 1775 01:33:37,360 --> 01:33:41,480 And I really enjoy that a lot. All right, death and 1776 01:33:41,480 --> 01:33:44,360 dismemberment table. I love this damage represents a 1777 01:33:44,360 --> 01:33:47,360 weakening of defenses over time. It's not just like a specific 1778 01:33:47,360 --> 01:33:49,920 wound. Once you are reduced TO0HP, 1779 01:33:49,920 --> 01:33:56,160 though, you roll AD 26 and AD 12 because these blows tell a give 1780 01:33:56,160 --> 01:33:59,920 you a serious injury. And while you remain AT0HP, all 1781 01:33:59,920 --> 01:34:02,320 successive strikes cause another roll on the table, right? 1782 01:34:02,320 --> 01:34:04,800 So HP is not it's damaged over time. 1783 01:34:04,960 --> 01:34:07,160 It's not, it's not like you hit zero when suddenly you're dead. 1784 01:34:07,760 --> 01:34:10,400 You have to roll death on the death and dismemberment table to 1785 01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:12,200 die. You just get the shit kicked out 1786 01:34:12,200 --> 01:34:14,600 of you over and over and over again into your HP until you get 1787 01:34:14,600 --> 01:34:15,480 some HP back. Right? 1788 01:34:17,600 --> 01:34:20,440 All successful strikes cause another roll on the table below 1789 01:34:20,600 --> 01:34:24,440 with a plus one bonus per previous roll on the DSEC table. 1790 01:34:24,440 --> 01:34:27,280 So if you've already rolled twice on the table, whatever you 1791 01:34:27,280 --> 01:34:30,840 roll you add +2 to and once you roll 3 on the table you add +32 1792 01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:33,480 so that you will die. Like it's not like a matter of 1793 01:34:33,480 --> 01:34:36,040 if, it's when. I do enjoy that about HP, that 1794 01:34:36,040 --> 01:34:40,200 it's not just like you're suddenly at zero, you're dead. 1795 01:34:40,200 --> 01:34:43,640 It's no, you are now rolling for serious injuries every time you 1796 01:34:43,640 --> 01:34:45,920 do it. So D6 and D12, why don't you 1797 01:34:45,920 --> 01:34:48,400 roll me AD 12 and AD 6 and we'll hit this table and and do a 1798 01:34:48,400 --> 01:34:50,360 couple of these and then run through it and then keep moving 1799 01:34:50,360 --> 01:34:55,680 on. I rolled A6 on AD 6:00 and 9:00 1800 01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:59,280 on AD 12. Well, any 6 is death. 1801 01:34:59,600 --> 01:35:03,080 Yeah, so you got hit in the left arm and somehow it killed you. 1802 01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:05,480 Right. I bled out, you know? 1803 01:35:05,520 --> 01:35:08,760 You bled out, so the locations are left leg, right leg, torso, 1804 01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:11,240 left arm, right arm, head. How about this first? 1805 01:35:11,800 --> 01:35:16,160 I rolled a three and a nine. Broken and useless. 1806 01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:18,520 OK, so you are broken and useless. 1807 01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:21,480 You're, you're just broken and you are useless. 1808 01:35:21,640 --> 01:35:24,240 So the, the torso is broken and useless. 1809 01:35:24,520 --> 01:35:27,560 So you basically your ribs are shattered, right? 1810 01:35:27,560 --> 01:35:29,000 You can barely breathe. That sucks. 1811 01:35:29,240 --> 01:35:31,960 But if you had a heavy piece of armor on instead, your 1812 01:35:31,960 --> 01:35:34,560 breastplate would be broken, but you would not be broken and 1813 01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:36,440 useless. And that's why anything three or 1814 01:35:36,440 --> 01:35:39,320 more is protected by the heavy armor, because that's when 1815 01:35:39,320 --> 01:35:41,760 things break. Because if you look at #1 it 1816 01:35:41,760 --> 01:35:45,400 says like for legs, it says tripped, not prone. 1817 01:35:45,400 --> 01:35:48,400 And #2 it says as one plus a penalty. 1818 01:35:48,680 --> 01:35:51,200 And the same thing with beyond three, it says broken and 1819 01:35:51,200 --> 01:35:53,440 useless. And #4 is as three plus you're 1820 01:35:53,440 --> 01:35:56,160 knocked out. So after three, you're always 1821 01:35:56,160 --> 01:35:59,080 getting broken. The thing is breaking or you're 1822 01:35:59,080 --> 01:36:02,320 getting dismembered because yes, there's limb dismembering. 1823 01:36:02,320 --> 01:36:05,080 Why don't you roll me AD 6 and AD 4 for your facial and limb 1824 01:36:05,080 --> 01:36:11,040 dismemberment? So for my facial dismemberment I 1825 01:36:11,160 --> 01:36:16,760 lost my right eye, and then for my limb dismemberment I've lost 1826 01:36:17,400 --> 01:36:20,120 either fingers or toes, I guess depending where we're at. 1827 01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:23,800 Sick. And then there is a whole 1828 01:36:23,800 --> 01:36:25,840 section up here. There's a note on dismemberment. 1829 01:36:26,160 --> 01:36:28,480 There's no attribute loss or other mechanical effect, right? 1830 01:36:28,680 --> 01:36:31,440 However, the dismemberment should be considered when the 1831 01:36:31,440 --> 01:36:34,760 swiper does something. So if you lost all your toes 1832 01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:36,240 then you're trying to tightrope walk. 1833 01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:38,120 You should think about that in the scale check, right? 1834 01:36:38,760 --> 01:36:41,400 Clever planning and careful descriptions and prosthetics 1835 01:36:41,400 --> 01:36:42,880 ensure no activity is disallowed. 1836 01:36:43,200 --> 01:36:46,440 Don't be disrespectful to real people with limb loss like that. 1837 01:36:46,920 --> 01:36:50,080 Big shout out. Big shout out love that and then 1838 01:36:50,080 --> 01:36:52,200 that's we're going on fight like a swiber. 1839 01:36:52,200 --> 01:36:54,680 There's more stuff you can do right, You can grapple, you can 1840 01:36:54,680 --> 01:36:56,200 grapple from behind, you can knock down. 1841 01:36:56,400 --> 01:36:58,080 I like that. It basically says like here are 1842 01:36:58,080 --> 01:37:01,600 a list of some mechanics to give you an example. 1843 01:37:01,600 --> 01:37:03,360 But this list is not everything you can do. 1844 01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:05,160 It's just inspiration. Use your imagination. 1845 01:37:05,160 --> 01:37:07,560 That's what the rules say. And the grappling, grappling 1846 01:37:07,560 --> 01:37:09,480 from behind, knocking down, those are all in there and 1847 01:37:09,480 --> 01:37:10,720 that's great. And they also. 1848 01:37:10,840 --> 01:37:14,000 Like the delineations like the the attacking from behind but 1849 01:37:14,000 --> 01:37:17,320 also flanking or hitting prone and then like grappling his 1850 01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:20,040 thing but also grappling from behind is different because it's 1851 01:37:20,040 --> 01:37:23,600 different in that situation. It also implies that if a care 1852 01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:27,000 if a player character came up with situation like I would know 1853 01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:30,000 how to make a rule for that delineation of this because it's 1854 01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:34,120 like, oh, it's a + 2 normally for some things or you know, it 1855 01:37:34,120 --> 01:37:36,560 just makes it very easy to understand the system and expand 1856 01:37:36,560 --> 01:37:38,560 upon it in your own table, you know? 1857 01:37:38,680 --> 01:37:41,440 Yeah, it's a good outside of the skills thing. 1858 01:37:41,760 --> 01:37:45,520 It's a really great framework, yeah, in the way that OSR is 1859 01:37:45,520 --> 01:37:47,680 often good frameworks for those skills that. 1860 01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:50,160 Are by the way, we both missed it so. 1861 01:37:50,640 --> 01:37:54,720 Oh well, we will look and then I will apologize when I see it. 1862 01:37:55,040 --> 01:37:57,120 Healing. Healing is slow. 1863 01:37:57,120 --> 01:37:58,640 The assistance of a Barber surgeon helps. 1864 01:37:58,840 --> 01:38:02,440 So basically if you if you are above 0 HP, one day's rest, it 1865 01:38:02,440 --> 01:38:05,560 all comes back. If you are below 0 HP, you get, 1866 01:38:05,560 --> 01:38:09,240 what is it, half 0HP recover half their HP after a day's 1867 01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:11,480 rest. A Barber surgeon speeds that up, 1868 01:38:11,480 --> 01:38:13,560 great. But if you have broken bones, 1869 01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:14,800 that's when you're really fucked. 1870 01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:16,480 HP can come back in a day or two. 1871 01:38:16,840 --> 01:38:19,360 But if you're a broken bones, an arm takes 3 weeks, a leg takes 1872 01:38:19,360 --> 01:38:21,920 six weeks, a rib takes 4 weeks, and a skull takes 9 weeks. 1873 01:38:22,240 --> 01:38:24,120 But if you have a Barber surgeon, you can pay them to 1874 01:38:24,120 --> 01:38:27,320 make that faster, but you have to pay them like every time to 1875 01:38:27,320 --> 01:38:29,040 keep making it faster. And I love that. 1876 01:38:29,880 --> 01:38:32,440 And then there's funeral rites. He was a good lad all right, 1877 01:38:32,440 --> 01:38:34,320 scumbag. And he'd want us to spend it all 1878 01:38:34,600 --> 01:38:40,560 on a piss up so you can actually take your dead friend's XP 1879 01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:43,920 penny. I assume that means pence, which 1880 01:38:43,920 --> 01:38:45,000 is the thing that's in the game, right? 1881 01:38:46,360 --> 01:38:47,920 I think. I assume a penny is a pence. 1882 01:38:48,160 --> 01:38:48,600 Yeah. OK. 1883 01:38:50,600 --> 01:38:51,640 Yeah. And then? 1884 01:38:52,960 --> 01:38:55,760 Americans don't have pennies. We have scents. 1885 01:38:55,760 --> 01:38:58,840 Even though we call the scent a penny, that's actually what a 1886 01:38:58,840 --> 01:39:01,640 pence is, so. Interesting. 1887 01:39:01,840 --> 01:39:05,520 Yeah, we're dumb. God, can we just get rid of the 1888 01:39:05,520 --> 01:39:09,720 penny anyway? So recovering the corpus of the 1889 01:39:09,720 --> 01:39:11,960 Swiber allows the XP to be purchased in a straight penny 1890 01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:13,840 for XP conversion. The money is spent on the 1891 01:39:13,840 --> 01:39:16,080 funeral for the dead, and the XP is divided up against the other 1892 01:39:16,080 --> 01:39:20,440 Swivers and only those involved in the campaign with him or 1893 01:39:20,440 --> 01:39:23,920 whatever have claimed to the to the stiffs XPI like that. 1894 01:39:23,920 --> 01:39:27,360 That's really interesting that the XP wall game together can 1895 01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:30,040 still be yours. You just buy it from the dead 1896 01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:31,760 body. And this might be one of my 1897 01:39:31,760 --> 01:39:32,960 favorite pieces of the entire book. 1898 01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:37,760 The big fight. Bro, the movement on this page, 1899 01:39:37,800 --> 01:39:41,880 every single person except that this, this smiling fucker here 1900 01:39:41,880 --> 01:39:44,200 with the sword is getting fucked up. 1901 01:39:44,640 --> 01:39:48,400 He is the only one that seems to be not really getting hurt, but 1902 01:39:48,400 --> 01:39:52,080 he is stabbing a dude. And that dude is in turn getting 1903 01:39:52,080 --> 01:39:53,480 kicked in the face by another guy. 1904 01:39:54,080 --> 01:39:57,520 And that guy is in turn, not only is a rat flying at his 1905 01:39:57,520 --> 01:40:00,760 face, but he's being choked out by a giant guy. 1906 01:40:00,920 --> 01:40:04,560 The giant guy. So is it a cat I saw? 1907 01:40:04,560 --> 01:40:08,320 I saw it as a giant rat, but what the same thing the giant 1908 01:40:08,320 --> 01:40:10,360 guy choking, the guy that's kicking, the guy that's getting 1909 01:40:10,360 --> 01:40:15,520 stabbed is stabbing another dude through the hand through the 1910 01:40:15,520 --> 01:40:20,600 face while that guy has his thumb in big guy's eye. 1911 01:40:21,360 --> 01:40:25,000 And dude getting choked is actually getting like thrown 1912 01:40:25,000 --> 01:40:28,200 down onto another dude who's like trying to hold him up. 1913 01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:31,080 It's insane. This piece is incredible. 1914 01:40:31,080 --> 01:40:34,680 The everything that's happening, the interconnectedness of it and 1915 01:40:34,680 --> 01:40:36,040 it's crazy. And then, and then dude, gang 1916 01:40:36,040 --> 01:40:39,320 kick and face has like a bat, but a dog is biting it like 1917 01:40:39,880 --> 01:40:44,720 crazy crazy. There's a disease table. 1918 01:40:44,880 --> 01:40:46,320 There are diseases. They're great. 1919 01:40:46,320 --> 01:40:52,600 Slobby cobbler or soggy, soggy clobber, flawed in flu, the Stew 1920 01:40:53,000 --> 01:40:55,720 smoke slurry, They're great. There's a whole section here 1921 01:40:55,720 --> 01:40:57,360 about diseases. There's a great piece of art. 1922 01:40:57,480 --> 01:40:58,720 We're not going to dig deep into this. 1923 01:40:58,720 --> 01:40:59,840 There's a faction. There's cost. 1924 01:40:59,840 --> 01:41:02,160 Come on. Wait on the diseases though. 1925 01:41:02,400 --> 01:41:04,640 You missed the best 1. Todd's face. 1926 01:41:05,600 --> 01:41:08,040 Incredible hair growth on face. Can't smoke. 1927 01:41:08,040 --> 01:41:13,040 Eating is a challenge. What's the the the cost success. 1928 01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:14,600 None. Just have a shave there. 1929 01:41:15,200 --> 01:41:16,400 You go. No. 1930 01:41:16,600 --> 01:41:18,280 OK, let's talk about the best one then. 1931 01:41:18,280 --> 01:41:19,720 I'm sorry. It's the beef sweats. 1932 01:41:22,600 --> 01:41:24,560 Incredible fever with pungent sweat. 1933 01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:27,240 Cannot wear armor due to heat and the hungry dogs will attack 1934 01:41:27,240 --> 01:41:30,720 you. One constitution role on four 1935 01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:32,600 day, whichever comes first. And there is no cost. 1936 01:41:32,640 --> 01:41:37,000 You just get the beef sweat. Yeah, we'll move on from there. 1937 01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:39,360 There's even more STD's of the smoke. 1938 01:41:39,360 --> 01:41:42,440 Yeah, there's an STD table. Got to get that hot smoke or hot 1939 01:41:42,440 --> 01:41:47,040 soup, the thud, the frog legs. Anyway, there's a morale section 1940 01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:50,120 here which is interesting with some modifiers to that. 1941 01:41:50,120 --> 01:41:52,520 Adversaries have a morale value, so we'll go over that a little 1942 01:41:52,520 --> 01:41:54,200 bit later, but we're not going to dig too deep into this. 1943 01:41:54,440 --> 01:41:56,960 There's a chase mechanic here that's pretty straightforward 1944 01:41:57,880 --> 01:42:01,480 and it there's modifiers based on heavy armor, light armor. 1945 01:42:01,480 --> 01:42:04,680 But if you're carrying somebody, if at least one party member 1946 01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:07,760 knows the area, it's great. It's a really clean, great chase 1947 01:42:07,760 --> 01:42:08,880 system. We're not going to dig into 1948 01:42:08,880 --> 01:42:11,440 deeply, but it's cool. And now we're going to get to 1949 01:42:11,440 --> 01:42:14,000 the place where I'm going to have to apologize if I need to. 1950 01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:17,520 So there is random chase interference section. 1951 01:42:18,160 --> 01:42:20,640 So there's ADA table of random chase interferences. 1952 01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:27,960 Time keeping a turn is a 10 minute span of time, 6 seconds 1953 01:42:27,960 --> 01:42:31,360 is a whatever illumination. It tells you that a Lantern is 1954 01:42:31,360 --> 01:42:33,920 30 feet, a torch is 30 feet and burns for an hour, etcetera, 1955 01:42:33,920 --> 01:42:35,600 etcetera. There's light and there's ways 1956 01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:37,400 to use it. So let's get to advancement and 1957 01:42:37,400 --> 01:42:41,080 let's talk about talk about this and if it's here. 1958 01:42:42,120 --> 01:42:45,000 Yes. It's a terrible spot for it. 1959 01:42:45,240 --> 01:42:48,080 It's way too late. And I did read advancement. 1960 01:42:48,240 --> 01:42:50,000 Yeah. So advancement is achieved 1961 01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:52,440 through accumulation of XP experience points. 1962 01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:55,400 The main source of XP is the sale of loot and expenditure. 1963 01:42:55,680 --> 01:42:58,000 XP is gained from the value of all loot sold. 1964 01:42:58,320 --> 01:42:59,920 Until the loot is sold, no XP is gained. 1965 01:43:03,040 --> 01:43:06,240 Good fence is essential. The value in pence is also 1966 01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:09,200 etcetera etcetera. So you sell stuff, and then 1967 01:43:09,200 --> 01:43:11,200 however good your fence and stuff is, determines how much 1968 01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:12,560 you sell it for and how much you sell it for. 1969 01:43:12,560 --> 01:43:15,760 It gives you XP. So straight up loot for gold 1970 01:43:15,760 --> 01:43:16,720 baby. Old school. 1971 01:43:17,400 --> 01:43:21,600 Yeah. The right way, A goal for XP, 1972 01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:24,240 right? The correct and proper way to do 1973 01:43:24,240 --> 01:43:27,000 XP. Right, if if what you want is to 1974 01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:30,400 people to to to steal stuff. I'm a dungeon crawling piece of 1975 01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:32,480 shit. If your game uses narrative XP, 1976 01:43:32,480 --> 01:43:34,560 good for you. I'm not dissing it, I'm just 1977 01:43:34,560 --> 01:43:35,960 being a piece of shit. So yeah. 1978 01:43:36,240 --> 01:43:40,760 Yeah, I love both. It just depends on Yeah, here's 1979 01:43:40,760 --> 01:43:47,600 a great thing about goal for XP. 10 seconds is tangent motivation 1980 01:43:47,760 --> 01:43:50,320 built into the game. That's what it is, right? 1981 01:43:50,680 --> 01:43:52,720 You're you're a dungeon Dover. You want to bring back loot. 1982 01:43:52,720 --> 01:43:56,360 So make loot the XP, not monster XP, because then you're looking 1983 01:43:56,360 --> 01:43:58,400 for loot, not to kill monsters. Yeah. 1984 01:43:59,120 --> 01:44:02,480 And in this game, you're a you're a crook thief who's 1985 01:44:02,480 --> 01:44:05,120 trying to make their way in the world and and grab every cent 1986 01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:08,080 they can't penny they can. So yeah, it makes sense that 1987 01:44:08,080 --> 01:44:09,160 that's how it works for this one. 1988 01:44:09,880 --> 01:44:16,000 No, I am right and this only complicates the issue chat so 1989 01:44:16,280 --> 01:44:18,600 we're moving on. So if swipers are hired for a 1990 01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:21,080 specific job, they get XP equal to the amount etcetera. 1991 01:44:21,080 --> 01:44:23,360 Illegal hot goods required, discerning buyer, etcetera. 1992 01:44:23,600 --> 01:44:28,160 A swiver can only gain XP and a half required to gain a single 1993 01:44:28,160 --> 01:44:30,200 level as a result of a single heist. 1994 01:44:30,600 --> 01:44:38,720 So XP levels are 001 is 302 is 603 is 12104 is 24105 plus is 1995 01:44:39,040 --> 01:44:41,800 twice the previous with two previous times too. 1996 01:44:41,800 --> 01:44:43,160 Which is exactly how they all are right? 1997 01:44:43,800 --> 01:44:46,680 600 is 3312, hundred is 66. Makes sense. 1998 01:44:46,920 --> 01:44:49,680 Very fucking easy 5 great experience table. 1999 01:44:49,800 --> 01:44:53,800 Fuck are you doing? Do we have to add like +5 to 2000 01:44:53,800 --> 01:44:57,480 that shit at this point? So what that's saying is no 2001 01:44:57,480 --> 01:45:01,000 matter how much loot you get, you can only ever gain a level 2002 01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:06,040 and a half of money right? So if it's 600 to 1200, that 2003 01:45:06,040 --> 01:45:09,600 means the only that you can only ever get what, like 1800? 2004 01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:12,160 Because that would give you one level and a halfway to the next 2005 01:45:12,160 --> 01:45:16,400 one Max, right? OK so here though it says in 2006 01:45:16,400 --> 01:45:21,080 advancement when leveling the swivers gained 2 of the 2007 01:45:21,080 --> 01:45:23,000 following and there's three things listed. 2008 01:45:23,320 --> 01:45:26,320 A + 1 to fighting skill still doesn't tell you what it's 2009 01:45:26,320 --> 01:45:29,040 derived from. Still doesn't tell you how it 2010 01:45:29,040 --> 01:45:31,880 starts. You can just take a + 1 to a 2011 01:45:31,880 --> 01:45:35,160 maximum of +6. So still doesn't answer what 2012 01:45:35,160 --> 01:45:36,920 it's derived from where it comes from. 2013 01:45:37,600 --> 01:45:41,480 So still I am I'm I'm I am not. I'm not saying that I'm right. 2014 01:45:41,560 --> 01:45:45,760 I'm just saying that it's still not clear or #2 you get plus one 2015 01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:50,160 HP to a maximum of 20 dope and then #3 you get plus one to an 2016 01:45:50,160 --> 01:45:53,680 existing or new skill may be chosen twice. 2017 01:45:53,680 --> 01:45:58,880 So this is one where there's a possibility of some clarity 2018 01:45:58,880 --> 01:46:02,680 here, which means, but I think that said that a little bit in 2019 01:46:02,680 --> 01:46:05,000 the character Part 2, right, You can improve a skill by one, 2020 01:46:05,160 --> 01:46:06,160 right? So this is saying you can 2021 01:46:06,240 --> 01:46:08,560 improve a skill by one or take a new skill. 2022 01:46:08,800 --> 01:46:11,320 Which I could have just put that in the Part 2. 2023 01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:13,880 It could have just put it in it is. 2024 01:46:14,080 --> 01:46:16,760 Interesting because again I will reference what was Palm Coast 2025 01:46:16,760 --> 01:46:19,120 because the character creation is very similar, at least in 2026 01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:21,960 worlds. You start with a + 1 to hit, 2027 01:46:21,960 --> 01:46:24,080 which is the fight skill essentially in this right? 2028 01:46:24,480 --> 01:46:29,240 And but it says that and it says when you boast you can take 2029 01:46:29,240 --> 01:46:31,360 another plus one, but you start with plus one. 2030 01:46:31,560 --> 01:46:38,000 It'd be, I mean, I think The thing is my impression of Luke's 2031 01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:43,320 writing is that the implications of rules, I mean, writing things 2032 01:46:43,320 --> 01:46:45,280 out is good. This is not a, this is not a 2033 01:46:45,280 --> 01:46:47,280 one-on-one game. If this is your first game, this 2034 01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:50,640 will be more challenging for you to parse out the rules. 2035 01:46:51,240 --> 01:46:53,440 There's a little, there's a little more intuition of like 2036 01:46:54,040 --> 01:46:56,720 knowledge of past games and stuff that that that would be 2037 01:46:56,760 --> 01:46:58,800 very helpful. From the scientific like the 2038 01:46:58,800 --> 01:47:00,560 character creation says everything you start with. 2039 01:47:00,560 --> 01:47:01,800 So I know everything I start with. 2040 01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:03,200 I know I don't start with any fighting skill. 2041 01:47:03,200 --> 01:47:04,520 I know I don't start with any skill. 2042 01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:08,520 But I know now if I advance that I can take it. 2043 01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:11,760 I can get plus one in a new skill, or I can gain plus one to 2044 01:47:11,760 --> 01:47:14,040 the fighting skill which I know I don't currently have. 2045 01:47:16,520 --> 01:47:20,480 I but here's here's this is a. Scaffolding discussion. 2046 01:47:21,400 --> 01:47:23,440 A little bit, yeah, a little bit. 2047 01:47:23,440 --> 01:47:25,840 It's more. I just think it's not even the 2048 01:47:25,840 --> 01:47:29,960 scaffolding. It's a lack of clarity in my 2049 01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:32,640 opinion. Because if the intent is you 2050 01:47:32,640 --> 01:47:36,880 start with no skills and once but the problem then right is 2051 01:47:37,520 --> 01:47:39,600 the rules say add your fighting skill to fighting. 2052 01:47:40,120 --> 01:47:44,840 But if you if you and you can only take one new skill or two, 2053 01:47:44,840 --> 01:47:47,360 it says you can take the you can take this thing twice, it may be 2054 01:47:47,360 --> 01:47:49,360 chosen twice. So you can take 2 new skills on 2055 01:47:49,360 --> 01:47:51,480 a level if that's all you want to do, right? 2056 01:47:51,560 --> 01:47:53,160 You don't advance to take two new ones. 2057 01:47:53,360 --> 01:47:57,040 That means that until if you start at level 0, until you hit 2058 01:47:57,040 --> 01:47:59,320 level 1, you don't have a fighting skill. 2059 01:47:59,320 --> 01:48:01,280 And the only way to get a fighting skill is to choose 2060 01:48:01,280 --> 01:48:05,160 fighting skill as an option. But in the book that very 2061 01:48:05,160 --> 01:48:08,280 clearly says add fighting skill, it doesn't say if you've chosen 2062 01:48:08,280 --> 01:48:09,520 the fighting skill. It doesn't say anything. 2063 01:48:09,520 --> 01:48:10,960 There's a complete lack of clarity. 2064 01:48:11,160 --> 01:48:15,640 And I don't if if that is the the intent, I am a OK with that. 2065 01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:19,000 Say it somewhere in the book, like if you have to intuit 2066 01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:24,680 across the creation page and then the general rules page and 2067 01:48:24,680 --> 01:48:29,440 then go like 12 pages deeper to get to advancement, which is for 2068 01:48:29,440 --> 01:48:37,400 some reason buried between illumination and money 2069 01:48:37,400 --> 01:48:39,960 expenditure for some God forsaken reason. 2070 01:48:40,120 --> 01:48:42,720 This is the worst located rule in the entire book. 2071 01:48:42,720 --> 01:48:45,800 Why is advancement of all things literally on the page that it 2072 01:48:45,800 --> 01:48:50,520 has on the page? It's it's a chase complication 2073 01:48:50,520 --> 01:48:54,520 table time keeping, money expenditures and illumination 2074 01:48:54,800 --> 01:48:58,440 has tucked in the middle of all that advancement, which if we're 2075 01:48:58,440 --> 01:49:03,160 saying that this is the way to clear stuff up, should probably 2076 01:49:03,160 --> 01:49:05,720 be in a better spot. Yeah, advancement should be in a 2077 01:49:05,720 --> 01:49:07,600 better spot. I will definitely agree with 2078 01:49:07,600 --> 01:49:10,000 that. It's in a very weird spot. 2079 01:49:10,360 --> 01:49:13,320 You think it'd be higher up near the character rules? 2080 01:49:13,720 --> 01:49:17,840 You would think, you know where I would put advancement in 2081 01:49:17,840 --> 01:49:20,320 character creation, yeah. Well, yeah. 2082 01:49:20,880 --> 01:49:25,040 Before I would put like the kind of dogs I can have, right? 2083 01:49:25,160 --> 01:49:26,440 Yeah, I actually think that's fair. 2084 01:49:26,440 --> 01:49:28,120 Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I mean? 2085 01:49:28,120 --> 01:49:29,240 Like if you're going to put it there. 2086 01:49:29,240 --> 01:49:31,680 So here's the thing again, and not to harp on it because this 2087 01:49:31,680 --> 01:49:34,960 is the honestly my only gripe with these this entire book. 2088 01:49:35,400 --> 01:49:40,240 It's just a lack of clarity on when you get a fighting skill, 2089 01:49:40,760 --> 01:49:45,520 what is derived from and when you take your first skills. 2090 01:49:45,760 --> 01:49:49,000 And if that means you don't take you have no skills until you hit 2091 01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:51,280 level one, that's fine. Just say you have no skills 2092 01:49:51,280 --> 01:49:53,480 until you hit level 1. Like you could clear this whole 2093 01:49:53,480 --> 01:49:56,120 thing up in probably 1 sentence, maybe 2. 2094 01:49:56,760 --> 01:49:58,760 Your fighting skill is derived from X and you start with no 2095 01:49:58,760 --> 01:50:01,920 skills. Could 15 like 12 words, 12 words 2096 01:50:01,920 --> 01:50:04,680 could make the entire thing completely different. 2097 01:50:04,920 --> 01:50:06,440 And that's all I want. That's all I want. 2098 01:50:06,440 --> 01:50:07,720 I mean I would just play it like you said. 2099 01:50:07,960 --> 01:50:10,400 I would honestly let people start with a + 1 and as a 2100 01:50:10,400 --> 01:50:13,560 fighting skill and then you have no skills until level 1 based on 2101 01:50:13,560 --> 01:50:14,720 what I see in the book right now. 2102 01:50:15,960 --> 01:50:17,920 But I would appreciate some clarity. 2103 01:50:19,960 --> 01:50:21,800 And that's it. And then we'll cruise through 2104 01:50:21,800 --> 01:50:24,440 some more. So carousing consequences is an 2105 01:50:24,440 --> 01:50:26,760 option because in the expenditure section is basically 2106 01:50:26,760 --> 01:50:28,480 how to spend that sums of money, right? 2107 01:50:28,480 --> 01:50:32,120 And that includes carousing out based on the district that 2108 01:50:32,120 --> 01:50:34,840 you're in, in a quiet district, in a heavy district and normal 2109 01:50:34,840 --> 01:50:37,200 district, you carouse and there are consequences to your 2110 01:50:37,200 --> 01:50:40,760 carousing, which is AD 20 table. The consequences of that could 2111 01:50:40,760 --> 01:50:43,520 be the law. So there's crime and sentences 2112 01:50:43,520 --> 01:50:45,640 and fines and stuff. This is the hilarious section. 2113 01:50:45,640 --> 01:50:48,000 I love the part of the top. The system of law is applied 2114 01:50:48,000 --> 01:50:50,800 inconsistently. In the case of drunks, the fine 2115 01:50:50,800 --> 01:50:52,520 to avoid this and it's never seems to match up. 2116 01:50:52,520 --> 01:50:55,000 If the fine isn't paid within the next two days, they suffer 2117 01:50:55,000 --> 01:50:59,520 punishment or and here's more crimes like a theft is 3 days 2118 01:50:59,760 --> 01:51:01,480 consorting with which is is 8 days. 2119 01:51:01,480 --> 01:51:04,640 Speaking I'll of our greatest crown 2 weeks and then there's a 2120 01:51:04,640 --> 01:51:08,200 fine as well as it goes and then also I love this part. 2121 01:51:08,680 --> 01:51:13,160 A random spouse. 50% chance that this was more than a shag for 2122 01:51:13,160 --> 01:51:19,200 them. So you could be randomly hooking 2123 01:51:19,200 --> 01:51:24,480 up with someone's husband or wife and oops sorry, that is the 2124 01:51:24,480 --> 01:51:27,200 child of the warden that you just shagged. 2125 01:51:27,720 --> 01:51:29,240 They might not like you very much. 2126 01:51:31,080 --> 01:51:34,040 A random affair? Yeah. 2127 01:51:34,360 --> 01:51:38,040 Oh, with a Duchess, with a with a Duke, With with Big Dave. 2128 01:51:38,200 --> 01:51:40,960 Big Dave is Big Dave. Coming through again? 2129 01:51:41,440 --> 01:51:44,960 Big Dave jumping out of pit traps, busting down doors and 2130 01:51:45,080 --> 01:51:49,040 having affairs, you know, So there's a lot of stuff on that. 2131 01:51:49,120 --> 01:51:53,160 Revenge of the Spurned Putterer. So putterers are an interesting 2132 01:51:53,160 --> 01:51:54,720 thing. They're basically you can take 2133 01:51:54,720 --> 01:51:58,320 under your wing like what is kind of a hireling, but it's 2134 01:51:58,320 --> 01:52:01,000 more like a trainee on whatever you want to do with that. 2135 01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:04,800 And there's a whole section here on the cost that you're doing to 2136 01:52:04,800 --> 01:52:08,400 train them, how to treat them, how lewd is spread with them. 2137 01:52:08,720 --> 01:52:13,880 But if you treat your putterer poorly as in use them as trap 2138 01:52:13,880 --> 01:52:16,720 bait, don't feed them, mistreat them in different ways. 2139 01:52:16,720 --> 01:52:21,240 So the D6 table on what your putterer will do as a fuck you 2140 01:52:21,520 --> 01:52:23,520 basically. Like if you piss off your 2141 01:52:23,520 --> 01:52:25,640 student they're going to key your car when they leave kind of 2142 01:52:25,640 --> 01:52:28,960 thing you know or doesn't. Burn all your shit down, yeah? 2143 01:52:29,720 --> 01:52:33,440 It goes from simple theft to arson to manslaughter where they 2144 01:52:33,440 --> 01:52:35,320 will literally attempt to kill you. 2145 01:52:37,160 --> 01:52:41,160 Yeah, or or kill someone else and blame you for it. 2146 01:52:41,160 --> 01:52:46,160 So don't piss off your trainee. So there's loyalty, there's 2147 01:52:46,160 --> 01:52:48,520 incumbrance, which is an interesting part to put 2148 01:52:48,520 --> 01:52:50,640 Incumbrance. Encumbrance rules again, isn't a 2149 01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:54,080 weird spot because I would put that maybe with items more 2150 01:52:54,840 --> 01:52:57,520 there's a fences section. I don't I I would also put the 2151 01:52:57,520 --> 01:53:00,200 fences stuff maybe closer to where items are instead of after 2152 01:53:00,200 --> 01:53:09,960 putterers and things and regular buy the buyers occult, occult 2153 01:53:09,960 --> 01:53:11,480 versus regular buyers for the fences. 2154 01:53:11,600 --> 01:53:13,000 That's what those are in these different types. 2155 01:53:13,000 --> 01:53:16,160 There's AD 8 for each of those for the different kinds of of 2156 01:53:16,160 --> 01:53:19,760 buyers you can have. And then we've we're out of 2157 01:53:19,760 --> 01:53:21,320 general rules. Boom, we did it. 2158 01:53:21,600 --> 01:53:23,320 So we'll talk about the rule site later. 2159 01:53:23,440 --> 01:53:28,000 That's, that's it for that. So running Swivers, we can, we 2160 01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:29,680 can pretty much just jaw it through this section, right? 2161 01:53:29,960 --> 01:53:31,720 Yeah, let's touch on magic though. 2162 01:53:31,720 --> 01:53:34,480 I think for we should do that. But we have like 3 sections 2163 01:53:34,480 --> 01:53:38,240 before magic but the smoke. This is basically a quick 2164 01:53:38,240 --> 01:53:42,000 breakdown of the smoke, the midden, the city, how to build 2165 01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:44,080 it out for a campaign. So there's a paragraph here on 2166 01:53:44,080 --> 01:53:45,680 the smoke. What is the greatest city in the 2167 01:53:45,680 --> 01:53:47,760 world? You build it on your own right 2168 01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:52,480 beneath the smoke is the midden as an interconnected passage of 2169 01:53:52,480 --> 01:53:54,960 built over streets, basement, tombs, layers. 2170 01:53:55,480 --> 01:53:57,880 It's the underground. So the smoke is this is this 2171 01:53:57,880 --> 01:54:01,040 massive city and the Midden is the underground and it says that 2172 01:54:01,200 --> 01:54:05,120 you are basically at most maybe like 10-15 minutes from an 2173 01:54:05,120 --> 01:54:07,040 interest into the Midden at any given time. 2174 01:54:07,640 --> 01:54:09,440 There's a section here about being in the smoke. 2175 01:54:09,440 --> 01:54:12,600 It's always wet, foggy, smoky, dirty, everything. 2176 01:54:12,600 --> 01:54:16,240 The only clean buildings are the royal buildings and and that's 2177 01:54:16,240 --> 01:54:17,960 it. Every district has a warden who 2178 01:54:17,960 --> 01:54:20,040 reports to a mayor who reports to the Crown. 2179 01:54:20,560 --> 01:54:23,280 So this is where your lore is. And I like that realistically it 2180 01:54:23,280 --> 01:54:25,760 comes out to six or eight paragraphs and that's pretty 2181 01:54:25,760 --> 01:54:29,200 much it section on being in the midden. 2182 01:54:29,200 --> 01:54:31,800 It stinks, it's gross. And then the whole giant thing 2183 01:54:31,800 --> 01:54:35,720 about building the smoke here. So palaces, jails, districts, 2184 01:54:36,160 --> 01:54:38,720 expanding the smoke. There's a section, a little part 2185 01:54:38,720 --> 01:54:41,040 here where it talks about mapping the smoke and it talks 2186 01:54:41,040 --> 01:54:43,200 about how to map the smoke the first time. 2187 01:54:43,200 --> 01:54:45,920 So as you go, you can just be like, oh, I need another 2188 01:54:45,920 --> 01:54:46,800 district. Already have the map. 2189 01:54:46,800 --> 01:54:48,400 Boom, it's this. And you can just roll on it. 2190 01:54:48,400 --> 01:54:51,640 It's great. So expanding the smoke power of 2191 01:54:51,640 --> 01:54:56,040 the rulers, power of the church, what war's going on, how old the 2192 01:54:56,040 --> 01:54:58,640 districts are, all the general information about districts, 2193 01:54:59,160 --> 01:55:01,240 average house and carried wealth of a district. 2194 01:55:01,440 --> 01:55:03,640 This is literally building your city. 2195 01:55:03,840 --> 01:55:07,920 Another great shot here of the three characters, one of which 2196 01:55:07,920 --> 01:55:11,000 is little doggo, oh little pup, oh puper. 2197 01:55:13,440 --> 01:55:18,360 And that's what this is tons of tables, tons of great arts of of 2198 01:55:18,360 --> 01:55:22,040 different location types, rich and affluent locations. 2199 01:55:22,520 --> 01:55:24,520 D1 hundreds.

So you can have your the 2217 01:56:24,440 --> 01:56:28,400 leverage you have can reduce the amount you have to bribe and 2218 01:56:28,400 --> 01:56:30,440 then change the percentage of chance of things to happen. 2219 01:56:30,440 --> 01:56:33,960 So a quick one, snitching on someone or or thing less 2220 01:56:33,960 --> 01:56:37,000 serious, a little bit of leverage, half value of bribe 2221 01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:40,880 required at that level, seriousness of bribe, a 3D 2222 01:56:40,880 --> 01:56:43,160 reduction of petty crime, right. And then notes on usage. 2223 01:56:43,160 --> 01:56:46,520 So it's a 30% chance of being identified as the snitch and 2224 01:56:46,520 --> 01:56:48,240 haunted by the criminal underworld at large. 2225 01:56:48,920 --> 01:56:51,400 So I love that it's it's, it's what leverage you're using, how 2226 01:56:51,400 --> 01:56:53,880 much it reduces a bribe, the consequences of using that 2227 01:56:53,880 --> 01:56:55,440 leverage. Great, great. 2228 01:56:57,440 --> 01:57:01,160 Appealing to sympathy, there's a 20% chance they decide to mug 2229 01:57:01,160 --> 01:57:06,560 you instead. The art of rat shite. 2230 01:57:06,560 --> 01:57:10,280 Basically when all that goes bad and shit goes wrong, the 2231 01:57:10,280 --> 01:57:13,680 betrayed Watchmen will literally be hunting for you, Captains 2232 01:57:13,680 --> 01:57:15,960 will pull strings and entire neighborhoods will hunt for you. 2233 01:57:16,200 --> 01:57:19,080 They might even call in the detectives and detectives and 2234 01:57:19,080 --> 01:57:21,320 literally talked about them like building a case to come after 2235 01:57:21,320 --> 01:57:23,160 you and stuff.

This is like a Blades in the 2240 01:57:36,200 --> 01:57:37,080 Dark game. So. 2241 01:57:37,840 --> 01:57:39,960 Yeah, I mean, it's basically the same thing. 2242 01:57:41,320 --> 01:57:43,120 It's it's about the same page count too, right? 2243 01:57:43,640 --> 01:57:47,320 For Chapter 1 and Blades, Yeah. Chapter 1 and Blades, yeah. 2244 01:57:49,360 --> 01:57:52,600 No, there's literally even like a table to build out the 2245 01:57:52,600 --> 01:57:55,080 detective for weakness, appearance, mannerism and 2246 01:57:55,080 --> 01:57:56,960 methodology. So you got to build Colombo to 2247 01:57:56,960 --> 01:58:00,920 build your detective. I mean, the I, if anything is I 2248 01:58:00,920 --> 01:58:04,240 just love that I don't know if I would have thought nearly as 2249 01:58:04,240 --> 01:58:07,600 much if I was making a game like this on how deep to go into the 2250 01:58:07,600 --> 01:58:09,160 criminal interaction with the law. 2251 01:58:09,440 --> 01:58:12,920 And they did just it's so good.

There's a primer at the top of 2292 02:00:13,600 --> 02:00:17,360 how to read the stat blocks. OK, it says HD are D sixes. 2293 02:00:17,480 --> 02:00:20,000 Anyone that knows HD in games, a lot of times D fours, D sixes, 2294 02:00:20,000 --> 02:00:21,960 whatever. Like that's how you roll your 2295 02:00:21,960 --> 02:00:24,080 bag, right? If your HD has three and it's D 2296 02:00:24,080 --> 02:00:26,080 sixes, you roll 3D6 and add whatever modifier. 2297 02:00:26,280 --> 02:00:29,480 That's how you generate different hit points for for 2298 02:00:29,480 --> 02:00:31,440 things, right? Those in 5 E, that's how they 2299 02:00:31,440 --> 02:00:36,920 work there too. Humans have 3 HD for reference 2300 02:00:36,960 --> 02:00:38,600 obviously because remember because we rolled 3 for 2301 02:00:38,600 --> 02:00:40,120 Constitution and that's drive from area. 2302 02:00:40,480 --> 02:00:42,640 So stat block explained in order. 2303 02:00:42,640 --> 02:00:44,800 It says HD is number, D6 is rolled. 2304 02:00:45,080 --> 02:00:48,920 Attack is the first value is bonus to hit followed by damage. 2305 02:00:49,560 --> 02:00:53,360 Defense is the number required to successfully strike them. 2306 02:00:53,720 --> 02:00:56,280 Armor is the armor value. Expresses an armor variety. 2307 02:00:56,560 --> 02:00:58,880 Movement describes how the creature moves in a speed 2308 02:00:59,000 --> 02:01:01,160 initiative. When in the turn of the creature 2309 02:01:01,160 --> 02:01:04,440 moves morale, the morale score of the creature and appearing 2310 02:01:04,440 --> 02:01:09,320 the number appearing right. So my my only real beef is that 2311 02:01:09,640 --> 02:01:13,720 that is the order in which it explains the stat block. 2312 02:01:13,920 --> 02:01:15,920 Oh, and they're not in that order within the actual stat 2313 02:01:15,920 --> 02:01:17,360 block. And the stat blocks are not in 2314 02:01:17,360 --> 02:01:18,880 that order. It's not. 2315 02:01:19,040 --> 02:01:21,720 That big a deal, But I'm like, why wouldn't you explain it in 2316 02:01:21,720 --> 02:01:23,600 the order of how the stat block is written? 2317 02:01:23,840 --> 02:01:26,960 Because the stat blocks are written, the the explanation is 2318 02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:29,520 HD attack, defense, armor, movement, initiative, morale 2319 02:01:29,520 --> 02:01:31,480 appearing. And the stat blocks are written 2320 02:01:31,480 --> 02:01:34,960 HD, defense, armor, morale, attack, initiative, movement 2321 02:01:34,960 --> 02:01:38,520 appearing. So they're it. 2322 02:01:38,600 --> 02:01:40,520 There's just no reason that they're not in the same order 2323 02:01:40,520 --> 02:01:41,880 like. Close to the same order. 2324 02:01:41,880 --> 02:01:44,000 There's all. They're close, so. 2325 02:01:44,000 --> 02:01:46,760 Kind of like except defense is second and attack is like 5th. 2326 02:01:46,760 --> 02:01:49,160 Like it's just it's a weird. The only things that are the 2327 02:01:49,160 --> 02:01:51,840 same is is HD at the beginning and appearing at the end. 2328 02:01:52,160 --> 02:01:53,800 But I mean, again, that's it's whatever. 2329 02:01:53,800 --> 02:01:55,120 Like it's just a list explaining it. 2330 02:01:55,120 --> 02:01:57,240 But to me, I'm just like in my head, I'm just like, well, why 2331 02:01:57,240 --> 02:01:58,720 wouldn't they just be the same? It doesn't matter. 2332 02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:02,440 So real quick, only like 1 unless there's one that jumps 2333 02:02:02,440 --> 02:02:03,600 out to you. I'm just going over the agent of 2334 02:02:03,600 --> 02:02:07,400 the church. HD is 3 + 1 defenses as weapon, 2335 02:02:07,400 --> 02:02:13,040 +2 boil leather morale 11 Attack is +2 damages weapon Initiative 2336 02:02:13,040 --> 02:02:16,920 is weapon movement as man and in two D4 appearing right? 2337 02:02:16,960 --> 02:02:20,400 A dentist. I fucking love this. 2338 02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:24,400 Dentists are the church regularly oversteps the bounds 2339 02:02:24,400 --> 02:02:27,760 of their authority in the smoke. They just try to do it in a 2340 02:02:27,760 --> 02:02:30,920 deniable manner. Dentists quote UN quote are how 2341 02:02:30,920 --> 02:02:33,800 they achieve this. Clerics driven to serve in any 2342 02:02:33,800 --> 02:02:37,240 manner asked of them some would say, especially when it involves 2343 02:02:37,240 --> 02:02:40,240 hurting people. Generally they are engaged in 2344 02:02:40,240 --> 02:02:43,760 abduction and destruction of evidence rather than murder. 2345 02:02:43,760 --> 02:02:46,080 And they're called dentist, I assume, because they knock out 2346 02:02:46,080 --> 02:02:49,800 your fucking teeth. That would be my assumption as 2347 02:02:49,800 --> 02:02:52,280 well. That's so first of all, I love 2348 02:02:52,280 --> 02:02:53,920 that. That's very church ish right? 2349 02:02:54,200 --> 02:02:56,920 But also just calling them dentists is so fucking vibe to 2350 02:02:56,920 --> 02:02:59,080 me for some reason. It like when I read this I 2351 02:02:59,120 --> 02:03:01,720 literally was just like oh man like threw my head back like the 2352 02:03:01,720 --> 02:03:05,720 whole 9 I was like this is so good like Lucas just bro. 2353 02:03:05,720 --> 02:03:07,520 There is there is one enemy I want to cover. 2354 02:03:07,840 --> 02:03:08,760 Yeah, go for it. Where are we at? 2355 02:03:08,760 --> 02:03:12,040 Cluster. Canine cluster. 2356 02:03:12,080 --> 02:03:13,840 Canine. He's on 65. 2357 02:03:14,600 --> 02:03:15,480 Yeah. Stink pup. 2358 02:03:16,080 --> 02:03:19,480 Stink pup. So foul fluids and strays. 2359 02:03:20,240 --> 02:03:24,040 A conglomerate of lost dogs trapped in the midden and now 2360 02:03:24,040 --> 02:03:28,000 fused A canine rat king with abandoned issues about the size 2361 02:03:28,000 --> 02:03:32,240 of a wagon, treats or a loving home will just piss it off. 2362 02:03:33,280 --> 02:03:37,000 Limbs and snapping heads jut out of the center mass. 2363 02:03:37,320 --> 02:03:40,920 It totters about the tunnels and eats its erstwhile masters. 2364 02:03:41,080 --> 02:03:47,400 It has fleas, so it doesn't have hit dice, which I think means 2365 02:03:47,400 --> 02:03:49,320 that you can't really kill this whole thing. 2366 02:03:50,640 --> 02:03:51,800 That's what I was just going to say. 2367 02:03:51,800 --> 02:03:54,000 Did they just forget a number here or do you? 2368 02:03:54,080 --> 02:03:56,600 Think this is a you run from this. 2369 02:03:56,920 --> 02:04:00,320 So my only issue then also with that is just fucking write that 2370 02:04:00,320 --> 02:04:03,240 you can't kill it.

There's no really killing this 2379 02:04:23,840 --> 02:04:24,840 thing. You need to run away. 2380 02:04:25,520 --> 02:04:27,600 Yeah, but I mean, why can't you just kill a bunch of dogs? 2381 02:04:27,600 --> 02:04:30,440 I don't know. I it's the way. 2382 02:04:30,600 --> 02:04:33,000 This also is so indicative of Luke's writing, though, and I 2383 02:04:33,000 --> 02:04:35,080 love so much of it. Treats our loving home will just 2384 02:04:35,080 --> 02:04:36,360 piss it off. It has fleas. 2385 02:04:36,600 --> 02:04:40,080 Like it's so fucking I don't know. 2386 02:04:40,080 --> 02:04:41,560 I don't know what. I don't even know how to 2387 02:04:41,560 --> 02:04:43,880 describe just how like I. Think it's interesting too. 2388 02:04:43,920 --> 02:04:49,560 It's like so there's D4 cluster Kingdom appearing plus D8 normal 2389 02:04:49,560 --> 02:04:51,080 dogs. Yeah, there's no way you can't 2390 02:04:51,080 --> 02:04:52,520 not kill it. I genuinely think they just 2391 02:04:52,520 --> 02:04:55,400 missed a number there, dude.

I don't think they. 2396 02:05:14,000 --> 02:05:16,280 Can get away. I don't I don't want to play any 2397 02:05:16,280 --> 02:05:20,160 game because Arachnid appeased. Has 10 HD. 2398 02:05:20,160 --> 02:05:22,760 So like, I mean how much harder? I mean how much harder you're 2399 02:05:22,760 --> 02:05:24,640 going you just make it 20 and just make it unkillable. 2400 02:05:24,640 --> 02:05:25,640 You know what I mean? That's crazy, yeah. 2401 02:05:25,720 --> 02:05:29,280 That's fair. But Arachnid appeased. 2402 02:05:29,280 --> 02:05:31,760 I'm not going to read a whole bunch of it, but the the the 2403 02:05:31,760 --> 02:05:34,840 little like it's always like the creature name and then like an 2404 02:05:34,840 --> 02:05:38,200 example name of that creature and arachnid appease is Annie. 8 2405 02:05:38,200 --> 02:05:42,080 legs just cracks me up. I don't know. 8 limbs wrapped 2406 02:05:42,240 --> 02:05:45,200 about with a discarded escorts garments all sprouting from the 2407 02:05:45,200 --> 02:05:48,880 body of a young paramour. Yeah, it reminds me of the 2408 02:05:48,880 --> 02:05:52,960 beginning of what is that anime where the dude is it? 2409 02:05:53,320 --> 02:05:56,000 It's not Berserk.

So yeah, I can't remember what 2414 02:06:06,360 --> 02:06:08,600 anime that is, but that's exactly what this reminded me of 2415 02:06:08,600 --> 02:06:11,960 is like. Or maybe maybe it's the 2416 02:06:11,960 --> 02:06:14,720 beginning of a ninja scroll, I don't remember. 2417 02:06:15,720 --> 02:06:18,960 But you're hooking up with some some lady and becomes like a 2418 02:06:18,960 --> 02:06:19,920 spider demon. Yeah. 2419 02:06:21,800 --> 02:06:24,560 Anyway, also the Tom, Dick and Harry for the average human. 2420 02:06:24,600 --> 02:06:26,080 That cracked me the fuck up so hard. 2421 02:06:26,560 --> 02:06:29,760 That's so fucking hard. Yeah, the average human, Tom, 2422 02:06:29,760 --> 02:06:33,240 Dick and Harry and that's it. But so many of these are so 2423 02:06:33,240 --> 02:06:34,840 vibey and there's so much lore in. 2424 02:06:35,840 --> 02:06:38,080 I love when people put lore in their monster books. 2425 02:06:38,080 --> 02:06:40,880 Like, it gets me because even like these are nicknames for 2426 02:06:40,880 --> 02:06:42,200 things. And the nicknames are important. 2427 02:06:42,200 --> 02:06:46,080 Like the Ash Dweller are called ghosts because they're ghostly 2428 02:06:46,080 --> 02:06:47,480 pale. Everyone just calls them ghosts 2429 02:06:47,480 --> 02:06:48,960 and that just cracks. I don't know why. 2430 02:06:48,960 --> 02:06:52,200 Like it's the vibes are Immaculate and incredible and I 2431 02:06:52,200 --> 02:06:56,600 love it.

The spider in the back, the 2443 02:07:38,920 --> 02:07:43,320 dudes I know it's literally. Well then let's we'll talk about 2444 02:07:43,320 --> 02:07:44,960 it then. Is it 1 spell or is it like 3? 2445 02:07:45,160 --> 02:07:47,320 Yeah. Oh, no, it's the the guy with 2446 02:07:47,320 --> 02:07:50,120 his organs coming out. It's it's a spell, so OK. 2447 02:07:50,120 --> 02:07:52,840 Sick, sick. All right, talk to me about 2448 02:07:52,840 --> 02:07:55,320 magic and it's very, this is honestly, before you even get 2449 02:07:55,320 --> 02:07:57,840 going, one of my favorite magic systems I've ever fucking read. 2450 02:07:58,000 --> 02:07:59,080 Oh yeah, It's a great magic system. 2451 02:07:59,200 --> 02:08:02,080 So a big, a big thing here is that, you know, originally we 2452 02:08:02,080 --> 02:08:04,760 were like, I was like, before I started this section. 2453 02:08:04,760 --> 02:08:07,840 Why is the magic section so far away from the player character 2454 02:08:07,840 --> 02:08:10,200 information? And that's because this is not 2455 02:08:10,200 --> 02:08:13,760 for player characters. This is for the What's the GM 2456 02:08:13,760 --> 02:08:16,800 called in this game? Jim, I don't even think this 2457 02:08:16,800 --> 02:08:18,680 game was given. Whoever's running the fucking 2458 02:08:18,720 --> 02:08:19,360 game. Smoker. 2459 02:08:19,680 --> 02:08:21,360 Smoker. There we go. 2460 02:08:21,360 --> 02:08:25,080 This is for a smoker. Your characters don't know shit 2461 02:08:25,080 --> 02:08:27,560 about magic until they encounter it. 2462 02:08:27,720 --> 02:08:31,480 It is not a known factor for the vast majority of the denizens of 2463 02:08:31,480 --> 02:08:35,720 the smoke, rumors of which is abound, but specifics are thin 2464 02:08:35,720 --> 02:08:40,120 on the ground. Yeah, so basically none of this 2465 02:08:40,120 --> 02:08:41,760 information should be shared with the Slivers. 2466 02:08:41,760 --> 02:08:46,960 But to cast a spell, the player attempts to get between 17 and 2467 02:08:46,960 --> 02:08:49,480 21. So they're playing blackjack. 2468 02:08:49,480 --> 02:08:52,600 They're pulling cards. The Casper plays blackjack. 2469 02:08:53,240 --> 02:08:56,160 Doing so successfully means the spell is cast correctly. 2470 02:08:57,040 --> 02:09:01,120 The attended effect occurs. Scoring below A-17 means that 2471 02:09:01,160 --> 02:09:03,120 nothing happens. It kind of just fizzles out. 2472 02:09:03,520 --> 02:09:08,200 Scoring 21. Exactly provides a more powerful 2473 02:09:08,200 --> 02:09:12,400 effect for the spell. Scoring over 21 means the spell 2474 02:09:12,400 --> 02:09:16,280 goes wildly out of control, requiring A roll on the mishap 2475 02:09:16,280 --> 02:09:19,720 table. There are deeper levels to Magic 2476 02:09:19,720 --> 02:09:23,000 which can be revealed progressively through play. 2477 02:09:23,520 --> 02:09:26,560 The Shores, the Waves, the Depths, which it go we'll go 2478 02:09:26,560 --> 02:09:30,280 through in this section. At the beginning of the in game 2479 02:09:30,280 --> 02:09:34,320 day, you shuffle all the cards barring jokers into the deck. 2480 02:09:35,160 --> 02:09:37,840 Spells are written in arcane tones and scrolls just like I 2481 02:09:37,840 --> 02:09:40,440 like them, which must be consulted to cast spell. 2482 02:09:40,440 --> 02:09:43,080 Any such items are highly illegal and ownership is 2483 02:09:43,160 --> 02:09:45,960 evidence of heresy and witchcraft because that is 2484 02:09:45,960 --> 02:09:49,480 illegal in this game. When player announces they are 2485 02:09:49,480 --> 02:09:51,800 casting a spell, they are dealt 2 cards from this deck. 2486 02:09:52,240 --> 02:09:55,720 These two cards are their current hand. 2487 02:09:56,160 --> 02:09:59,200 The spell casting. These two cards are their 2488 02:09:59,200 --> 02:10:02,120 current hand. The spell casting process is 2489 02:10:02,120 --> 02:10:06,240 then split into rounds, with the player making one choice per 2490 02:10:06,240 --> 02:10:09,200 round. The process continues until the 2491 02:10:09,200 --> 02:10:13,960 player stands big. Capitalize S or the value of the 2492 02:10:13,960 --> 02:10:18,000 hand exceeds 21. Cards are worth their printed 2493 02:10:18,000 --> 02:10:23,440 value, with face cards being worth 10 and aces worth either 1 2494 02:10:23,440 --> 02:10:25,600 or 11, as determined by the player. 2495 02:10:25,760 --> 02:10:27,640 Like that? Like blackjack? 2496 02:10:28,240 --> 02:10:30,640 Yeah, like blackjack. I wouldn't know that he's never 2497 02:10:30,640 --> 02:10:33,200 played blackjack. I just know you're hey man, I'm 2498 02:10:33,200 --> 02:10:34,200 trying. I know you're trying to get as 2499 02:10:34,200 --> 02:10:36,040 close to 21 as possible. I didn't realize that you could 2500 02:10:36,040 --> 02:10:37,120 pick what an ace is worth for you. 2501 02:10:38,040 --> 02:10:41,400 Yeah. So, yeah, because if you get 2502 02:10:41,400 --> 02:10:44,880 like a king in and an ace 21, right, Because it's an 11. 2503 02:10:45,280 --> 02:10:47,920 But if you have a 17 already and you get an ace, that's great 2504 02:10:47,920 --> 02:10:50,280 because it's just an 18. One to our 11th, Yeah. 2505 02:10:51,160 --> 02:10:54,440 Makes sense, yeah. In each round of player can take 2506 02:10:54,440 --> 02:10:58,000 one of the following choices, hit a beat, Dalton of the card 2507 02:10:58,680 --> 02:11:00,680 face up. That's all being added to their 2508 02:11:01,400 --> 02:11:03,120 current hand. Stand. 2509 02:11:03,120 --> 02:11:06,000 You take no more cards. In that this Capital S standard 2510 02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:08,160 was referred to before, You take no more cards, ending the 2511 02:11:08,160 --> 02:11:10,760 attempt to cast a spell accepting the current value of 2512 02:11:10,760 --> 02:11:12,360 the hand. So if you immediately get like 2513 02:11:12,360 --> 02:11:15,600 an 18 or 19 or 21, you stand, you're done. 2514 02:11:15,600 --> 02:11:19,320 You don't want to draw another card, you'll bust once the 2515 02:11:19,320 --> 02:11:23,360 player what? Once player chooses to stand, 2516 02:11:23,360 --> 02:11:27,760 their final score is determined determines the result of the 2517 02:11:27,760 --> 02:11:29,440 attempt. Like I said, 16 or lower is a 2518 02:11:29,440 --> 02:11:33,880 failure. The caster debilitate Lee allow 2519 02:11:34,480 --> 02:11:36,800 deliberately allows the magic to falter and die. 2520 02:11:37,320 --> 02:11:40,800 Results of the failure of the spell 7026 as it works how you 2521 02:11:40,800 --> 02:11:44,760 intended 21 the empowered success. 2522 02:11:44,760 --> 02:11:47,960 The Castor barely controls a wild gust in the flow, resulting 2523 02:11:47,960 --> 02:11:50,280 in an empowered version spell being woven. 2524 02:11:50,800 --> 02:11:53,520 Follow the empowered procedure as listed in the spell 2525 02:11:53,520 --> 02:11:56,760 description and then 22 plus is a crit failure. 2526 02:11:57,640 --> 02:11:59,720 The flow overwhelms the caster and they lose all control, 2527 02:11:59,720 --> 02:12:01,920 resulting in a wild and chaotic release of energies. 2528 02:12:01,920 --> 02:12:03,920 Roll on the critical failure table. 2529 02:12:04,120 --> 02:12:05,920 Once the results determined, discard these cards. 2530 02:12:06,040 --> 02:12:09,600 They are not shuffled back into the deck until the beginning of 2531 02:12:09,600 --> 02:12:12,920 the end game day. This represents the depletion of 2532 02:12:12,920 --> 02:12:17,040 magic from the surroundings. Love that caster are free to 2533 02:12:17,040 --> 02:12:19,120 examine their current discard pile. 2534 02:12:20,320 --> 02:12:23,160 This represents them tasting the currents of magic around them. 2535 02:12:23,160 --> 02:12:25,320 I also just really like that. Very vibey you know. 2536 02:12:25,440 --> 02:12:29,520 Yeah, so vibey, but when when the spell thing came out before 2537 02:12:29,520 --> 02:12:31,480 and when I saw this, I was like, man, spells are going to take 2538 02:12:31,480 --> 02:12:35,200 forever. But then no, because you you 2539 02:12:35,200 --> 02:12:38,160 start the round casting spells, right? 2540 02:12:38,520 --> 02:12:40,440 And you get a card once per round. 2541 02:12:40,760 --> 02:12:44,080 So basically everyone's doing shit and then the the the smoker 2542 02:12:44,840 --> 02:12:47,720 comes back to you and goes basically you hit or used to eat 2543 02:12:47,720 --> 02:12:50,480 like do you want to hit? And you're just like, Yep, hit 2544 02:12:50,480 --> 02:12:52,280 and you go boom. And then you just keep going And 2545 02:12:52,280 --> 02:12:54,480 that's casting magic is just go Yep, hit me baby. 2546 02:12:54,880 --> 02:12:57,080 Like actually. Super, really lightweight. 2547 02:12:57,080 --> 02:12:59,440 It's like a little mini game that you're playing as everyone 2548 02:12:59,440 --> 02:13:00,760 else is attacking, but makes sense. 2549 02:13:00,760 --> 02:13:02,880 You're like gathering the magic around you. 2550 02:13:02,880 --> 02:13:05,320 Exactly. And the spells can be fairly 2551 02:13:05,320 --> 02:13:08,680 significant and some of them are not like overbearingly so, but 2552 02:13:08,680 --> 02:13:11,560 like they're fun and cool, but they can be really significant 2553 02:13:11,560 --> 02:13:12,720 to anything happening around you. 2554 02:13:12,720 --> 02:13:15,000 So it makes sense. That's like you're sitting there 2555 02:13:15,000 --> 02:13:16,280 while everyone else is doing stuff. 2556 02:13:16,760 --> 02:13:19,080 It's crazy. You want to roll on the crit 2557 02:13:19,080 --> 02:13:21,520 fail table. Sure, what I think is 2558 02:13:21,520 --> 02:13:24,400 interesting with a magic system and if you if you wanted to 2559 02:13:24,400 --> 02:13:25,560 tweak it all, I don't think you need to. 2560 02:13:25,560 --> 02:13:27,880 But if you wanted to tweak it all, you could have a magic 2561 02:13:27,880 --> 02:13:31,960 skill and the magic skill could reduce 17. 2562 02:13:31,960 --> 02:13:34,840 So if you have a if you have a skill of one, it could be 16 to 2563 02:13:34,840 --> 02:13:35,960 20. If you have a skill of two, it 2564 02:13:35,960 --> 02:13:38,920 could be 15 to 20. You could widen your parameter 2565 02:13:38,920 --> 02:13:40,160 when you could when you could do it. 2566 02:13:40,160 --> 02:13:42,080 That would be an interesting hack. 2567 02:13:42,080 --> 02:13:44,200 If you wanted to play like, all magic, that would be cool. 2568 02:13:44,360 --> 02:13:45,440 Yeah. I would love to roll the 2569 02:13:45,440 --> 02:13:46,440 critical flow table. What is it? 2570 02:13:46,440 --> 02:13:51,160 D20D20. Let me use my thing here because 2571 02:13:51,160 --> 02:13:53,040 I can just click D20 and I got a one. 2572 02:13:55,280 --> 02:13:58,680 How nice, What's 1? Or one or you. 2573 02:13:58,840 --> 02:13:59,720 Yeah, go for. It no go for. 2574 02:14:00,280 --> 02:14:03,800 It all right, Magic Crystal. The magic, rather than being 2575 02:14:04,000 --> 02:14:06,720 directed by the spell, forms a beautiful glowing crystal in the 2576 02:14:06,720 --> 02:14:08,600 air. The crystal then explodes, and 2577 02:14:08,600 --> 02:14:11,680 each of the swipers in the room slash area must save or be 2578 02:14:11,680 --> 02:14:16,320 struck by D for shards, dealing D for damage. 2579 02:14:18,080 --> 02:14:22,360 That to me reads each Shard deals D4 damage, so if you're 2580 02:14:22,360 --> 02:14:26,520 hit by multiple shards. D4 shards ceiling, D4 damage 2581 02:14:26,560 --> 02:14:28,920 each. Yeah, that fucking if you roll 4 2582 02:14:28,920 --> 02:14:30,960 four, you're get 16 damage, baby. 2583 02:14:31,120 --> 02:14:32,720 Like yeah, you're not having a good time. 2584 02:14:32,960 --> 02:14:36,360 I rolled 18, which is transportation coma. 2585 02:14:36,360 --> 02:14:39,960 The castor's mind is whisked away by a whimsical entity 2586 02:14:39,960 --> 02:14:43,240 traveling the Sea of Chaos. Their body collapses entirely 2587 02:14:43,240 --> 02:14:46,920 comatose if the body is kept alive for D4 weeks, which we 2588 02:14:46,920 --> 02:14:47,920 hope your friends are that friendly. 2589 02:14:48,360 --> 02:14:52,120 The caster returns a bound wizard, their brain etched with 2590 02:14:52,120 --> 02:14:55,400 D4 spells. The player may choose which of 2591 02:14:55,400 --> 02:14:58,440 the despots page 76 they now serve. 2592 02:14:59,520 --> 02:15:00,880 You know, like bound to something. 2593 02:15:01,360 --> 02:15:04,600 Stick so many of these.

Great. 2612 02:16:01,240 --> 02:16:03,440 Yeah. So moving on, we get into kind 2613 02:16:03,440 --> 02:16:05,360 of the depths of magic where magic. 2614 02:16:05,360 --> 02:16:13,440 Can be revealed how how amazing is what is it the shores, the 2615 02:16:13,440 --> 02:16:16,480 waves and the depths or whatever for names for how do you go with 2616 02:16:16,760 --> 02:16:20,160 Oh my God, yeah.

And basically this is saying if 2624 02:16:44,760 --> 02:16:49,600 you in your hands that you stand with and you successfully cast 2625 02:16:49,600 --> 02:16:54,760 with, if you have a card in that hand that matches the suit, 2626 02:16:54,799 --> 02:16:57,879 essentially the humor of that spell, it can create an 2627 02:16:57,879 --> 02:17:00,639 additional effect to the spell, which is written in the spell 2628 02:17:00,639 --> 02:17:03,440 descriptions. It's amazing. 2629 02:17:03,719 --> 02:17:07,360 It's a, it's a layer of complexity you can add on as 2630 02:17:07,360 --> 02:17:10,360 your character learns more about spell casting that isn't 2631 02:17:10,360 --> 02:17:12,680 overwhelming. And it's also built to be added 2632 02:17:12,680 --> 02:17:14,959 on gradually. So it's not like you get 2633 02:17:14,959 --> 02:17:16,959 everything up front and you're like, fuck, I have all these 2634 02:17:16,959 --> 02:17:20,280 details.

So we have the suits, humor, 2640 02:17:35,400 --> 02:17:39,240 element, temperaments and qualities table, which is very 2641 02:17:39,240 --> 02:17:42,080 funny and good. But yeah, there's hearts, 2642 02:17:42,080 --> 02:17:46,000 diamonds, spades and clubs and they match the humors, elements, 2643 02:17:46,200 --> 02:17:47,840 temper, temperament and qualities. 2644 02:17:47,840 --> 02:17:48,840 We don't need to go through all of them. 2645 02:17:49,160 --> 02:17:50,799 You know what humor is?

Yeah, insane for this, for the 2653 02:18:21,080 --> 02:18:25,639 art and this are like amazing. And it's it elevates everything 2654 02:18:25,639 --> 02:18:28,400 to like an insane level because not only are they blowing the 2655 02:18:28,400 --> 02:18:31,879 smoke out, but they're also like pouring over like this, this 2656 02:18:31,879 --> 02:18:33,360 thing. And there's like a dove coming 2657 02:18:33,360 --> 02:18:36,000 out of the smoke that's like pouring down, but it's like 2658 02:18:36,000 --> 02:18:39,639 water And it like, and like the other bottle has like another 2659 02:18:39,639 --> 02:18:42,799 bird coming out of it. What the fuck, David? 2660 02:18:42,959 --> 02:18:46,760 Like insane. It's really incredibly good. 2661 02:18:47,920 --> 02:18:52,080 Yeah. Moving on to the waves, which 2662 02:18:52,080 --> 02:18:54,280 are spell components. I actually don't know if I read 2663 02:18:54,280 --> 02:18:56,879 this section, did I not? I must have. 2664 02:18:57,760 --> 02:19:00,200 I was reading this really late at night one night when I should 2665 02:19:00,200 --> 02:19:01,160 have been asleep. So at. 2666 02:19:02,400 --> 02:19:05,080 This level I can go through it. If you want me to take over, you 2667 02:19:05,200 --> 02:19:06,840 can keep. Going I'm cruising at this level 2668 02:19:06,840 --> 02:19:09,000 of initiation, the caster understands the latent power 2669 02:19:09,000 --> 02:19:12,520 hidden within certain items. Oh yeah, I do remember this. 2670 02:19:12,879 --> 02:19:16,400 By sacrificing such an item during spell casting, the 2671 02:19:16,400 --> 02:19:20,639 corresponding card is played from the deck rather than the 2672 02:19:20,639 --> 02:19:23,879 one being dealt. Gaining knowledge of these mad 2673 02:19:24,440 --> 02:19:27,639 of these makes Magic significantly easier, but the 2674 02:19:27,639 --> 02:19:31,160 knowledge alone is a closely guarded secret. 2675 02:19:31,200 --> 02:19:34,639 Acquiring many of the components in the venture is an adventure 2676 02:19:34,639 --> 02:19:38,360 unto itself. So you have these components and 2677 02:19:38,360 --> 02:19:43,000 so you can pull the cards from the deck and play those cards 2678 02:19:43,000 --> 02:19:45,600 instead as well. I'm how I'm gaining that right? 2679 02:19:46,320 --> 02:19:48,640 They understand the main power, but sacrificing such an item so 2680 02:19:48,680 --> 02:19:51,640 the corresponding card is played from the deck rather than being 2681 02:19:51,640 --> 02:19:52,080 dealt. Yeah. 2682 02:19:52,080 --> 02:19:57,240 So if you have the item, you can just choose to play that, which 2683 02:19:57,240 --> 02:19:59,680 is great if you can get like the ace items and stuff like that. 2684 02:19:59,920 --> 02:20:03,440 But they're insane items. But if you know you're at like a 2685 02:20:03,440 --> 02:20:06,280 17 and you have a like one of the four items, you can be like 2686 02:20:06,280 --> 02:20:10,720 damn, 21 boom, dunzo. Very cool. 2687 02:20:10,800 --> 02:20:12,520 Yeah. There's a list for each of the 2688 02:20:12,520 --> 02:20:16,200 suits and what the items are. One like Ace of Hearts is like 2689 02:20:16,520 --> 02:20:21,400 heart of a mourning monarch, you know, And it looks to me like 2690 02:20:21,400 --> 02:20:25,640 the lower in like numerical value other than the ace, 2691 02:20:25,640 --> 02:20:30,200 because the ace is like a flex, the easier the things are to 2692 02:20:30,200 --> 02:20:32,120 get. Like the heart of a Tolus pigeon 2693 02:20:32,120 --> 02:20:39,360 is much easier to get than like let's let's do the diseased 2694 02:20:39,360 --> 02:20:42,120 bladder of a tiger. Pigeons are fucking. 2695 02:20:42,120 --> 02:20:43,600 Everywhere, you know? Yeah. 2696 02:20:45,280 --> 02:20:46,840 And then take the heart. I mean, there you go. 2697 02:20:47,040 --> 02:20:51,280 Yeah, Ace of Diamonds is a Dragon's bile burnt and inhaled. 2698 02:20:52,440 --> 02:20:54,760 It's it's really a it's pretty cool. 2699 02:20:54,840 --> 02:20:58,280 So also like the idea of like you have one person who's become 2700 02:20:58,280 --> 02:21:01,080 like a bound wizard or just like has taken up spell casting by 2701 02:21:01,840 --> 02:21:04,800 consorting with witches or whatever, and they then start 2702 02:21:04,800 --> 02:21:06,960 generating their own like, hey, here's some stuff. 2703 02:21:06,960 --> 02:21:10,120 Like I learned about this item. We, I want to get it. 2704 02:21:10,120 --> 02:21:12,880 So we have to have an adventure to go get this item, you know? 2705 02:21:13,400 --> 02:21:15,560 Yeah, well, what's what's interesting about this too is 2706 02:21:15,560 --> 02:21:18,960 when you get to the next section, because you notice what 2707 02:21:18,960 --> 02:21:23,120 all these cards are. Yeah, they're non face cards. 2708 02:21:23,360 --> 02:21:27,720 Yeah, they're just number cards, Yes, because yeah, of what's 2709 02:21:27,720 --> 02:21:29,240 next. The depth. 2710 02:21:29,240 --> 02:21:33,560 So this is the deepest level of magical knowledge, but the 2711 02:21:33,560 --> 02:21:37,440 caster has learnt of the demonic forces which stand behind magic 2712 02:21:37,440 --> 02:21:41,000 and may have contact with one of their many cults. 2713 02:21:41,000 --> 02:21:43,280 Each of the face cards associated with a demonic entity 2714 02:21:43,280 --> 02:21:46,840 using their card in an attempt to cast a spell represents bar 2715 02:21:47,120 --> 02:21:50,200 bargaining with them or their representatives for a small 2716 02:21:50,200 --> 02:21:53,400 fraction of power. Those who pledge themselves to 2717 02:21:53,400 --> 02:21:58,160 the service of a despot may always start with despots, card 2718 02:21:58,400 --> 02:22:03,040 in hand. Crazy crazy also I like it. 2719 02:22:03,080 --> 02:22:05,680 They may start with that. So you can choose to forego this 2720 02:22:06,400 --> 02:22:07,960 if you're worried about the consequence of it. 2721 02:22:08,200 --> 02:22:10,760 But you can also just start. You could just start with the 2722 02:22:10,760 --> 02:22:13,440 king of fucking nave of diamonds in your hand or whatever. 2723 02:22:14,320 --> 02:22:18,040 What was I? Demons are not known to be 2724 02:22:18,040 --> 02:22:22,520 understanding masters. Each the despots has elements of 2725 02:22:22,520 --> 02:22:24,520 their associated humor slash suit. 2726 02:22:24,520 --> 02:22:29,280 A little note here. The historical term nave has 2727 02:22:29,280 --> 02:22:34,120 been used in place of Jack. You want to just hit like one of 2728 02:22:34,120 --> 02:22:37,480 these, like which one do you think is like the coolest demon 2729 02:22:37,480 --> 02:22:39,200 or which one that you thought that you saw? 2730 02:22:41,240 --> 02:22:42,400 Let's go. I don't know. 2731 02:22:42,400 --> 02:22:45,440 You pick one. King of Hearts is dope as fuck, 2732 02:22:47,400 --> 02:22:48,680 obviously because I'm a piece of shit. 2733 02:22:51,280 --> 02:22:56,600 Yeah. Yeah, so King of Hearts is ball 2734 02:22:56,600 --> 02:22:59,080 of the open wound. It's BHAL. 2735 02:22:59,280 --> 02:23:08,840 So again, every suit of every face card has a demon despot 2736 02:23:08,840 --> 02:23:10,600 Lord, right? And this is the King of Hearts, 2737 02:23:11,120 --> 02:23:14,600 the raw, vibrant wound that vibrates throughout the world, 2738 02:23:14,600 --> 02:23:17,520 the first injury that drives life forward. 2739 02:23:17,920 --> 02:23:20,720 Hurts, yes, but an essential reminder of living. 2740 02:23:20,720 --> 02:23:23,400 Open to experience, open to further injury. 2741 02:23:24,000 --> 02:23:27,440 To become bound to ball, one must deliberately strike a 2742 02:23:27,440 --> 02:23:32,360 mortal wound upon themselves, slowly dying over 24 hours. 2743 02:23:32,640 --> 02:23:36,880 In the final moment, this gaping wound will act as a lips of ball 2744 02:23:37,360 --> 02:23:43,200 and Baal will offer sucker Sukor Sukor from death if only one 2745 02:23:43,200 --> 02:23:46,360 serves. Baal speaks to their followers 2746 02:23:46,360 --> 02:23:49,680 in all manner of injuries, whether they are physical or 2747 02:23:49,680 --> 02:23:52,520 mental. Baal only wishes to see more 2748 02:23:52,520 --> 02:23:57,080 wounds and more life, but requires one or the other to be 2749 02:23:57,080 --> 02:24:04,160 advanced every day, right? Every day you got to be making 2750 02:24:04,160 --> 02:24:07,640 more wounds or more life, right? Like it, it, it, it's, it's, 2751 02:24:09,640 --> 02:24:11,440 that's so that that's the whole thing. 2752 02:24:11,440 --> 02:24:14,680 That's the whole thing, right? And then you get to just hold a 2753 02:24:14,680 --> 02:24:18,200 king in your hand when you're casting a spell, which is 2754 02:24:18,560 --> 02:24:20,400 insane. It's a 10 already. 2755 02:24:20,720 --> 02:24:26,120 You literally can't you know it's impossible for you to bust 2756 02:24:27,800 --> 02:24:31,240 because you and the odds of a Jack of of of getting basically 2757 02:24:31,280 --> 02:24:34,960 all you need to get is A7 or higher if you're if you're 2758 02:24:35,320 --> 02:24:37,160 allied to one of these demon Lords, right. 2759 02:24:37,360 --> 02:24:41,160 But I love the vibes here explaining who it is, how they 2760 02:24:41,160 --> 02:24:43,080 interact with you.

Insane, Luke, you're crazy. 2768 02:25:08,880 --> 02:25:11,520 This is so fucking insane.

To inflamed the hateful 2788 02:26:19,640 --> 02:26:25,720 passions, to speak with the regretful dead, to spring forth 2789 02:26:25,720 --> 02:26:34,040 wisp flame, to utter binding thorns, to vomit yourself forth, 2790 02:26:35,960 --> 02:26:38,800 to wear the face of another.

It's on page 79. 2793 02:26:41,760 --> 02:26:44,520 You already passed it. It's to reveal the secrets of 2794 02:26:44,520 --> 02:26:46,960 the anatomy. Oh that's one. 2795 02:26:46,960 --> 02:26:48,600 I literally just talked about having 2. 2796 02:26:49,920 --> 02:26:52,320 Oh yes, gotcha, gotcha, gotcha all. 2797 02:26:53,520 --> 02:26:56,560 Right. Yeah, so to reveal the secrets 2798 02:26:56,560 --> 02:27:01,040 of anatomy, the caster calls the innards of a living thing to 2799 02:27:01,080 --> 02:27:04,400 cease their hiding. Any witnessing this for the 2800 02:27:04,400 --> 02:27:08,200 first time must roll Constitution. 3D6 are like a 2801 02:27:08,840 --> 02:27:12,880 difficult role. Or spend D4 rounds of vomiting 2802 02:27:12,880 --> 02:27:17,600 and jibbering. So if you roll, yes, it does 2803 02:27:17,600 --> 02:27:20,400 have two, two suits, two different humors. 2804 02:27:20,800 --> 02:27:25,360 If you roll 1720 cautiously, the organs respond to this call. 2805 02:27:25,600 --> 02:27:29,560 The target is gently turned inside out over D6 rounds, 2806 02:27:29,560 --> 02:27:32,800 taking D4 damage per round. They are unable to do anything 2807 02:27:32,800 --> 02:27:36,240 other than shriek. If they do not drop any weapon, 2808 02:27:36,560 --> 02:27:40,240 this damage is doubled. They remain as such for D6 2809 02:27:40,280 --> 02:27:43,920 hours. The return to normal normality 2810 02:27:43,920 --> 02:27:47,320 is painless if they're still alive at that point, which they 2811 02:27:47,320 --> 02:27:50,600 might not be 21 you if you get 21 on this. 2812 02:27:51,000 --> 02:27:53,640 Overcome with emotion, the organs leap to answer their 2813 02:27:53,640 --> 02:27:55,920 summons. The target is violently turned 2814 02:27:55,920 --> 02:27:57,720 inside out. There shrieks muffled beneath 2815 02:27:57,720 --> 02:28:00,280 tearing of 10 sapping of bones and skin. 2816 02:28:00,560 --> 02:28:03,200 They expire after D4 rounds of crawling around. 2817 02:28:03,680 --> 02:28:06,600 So if your highest card that you draw in your order that you have 2818 02:28:06,600 --> 02:28:12,000 in your hand is a heart suit, the call is both joy into light 2819 02:28:12,000 --> 02:28:15,080 and conversation. The organs wave happily in the 2820 02:28:15,080 --> 02:28:19,720 air, which I think is what's happening in that the art piece. 2821 02:28:20,440 --> 02:28:24,560 Any close associates of the target witnessing this must make 2822 02:28:24,560 --> 02:28:27,320 a constitution or strength check. 2823 02:28:27,400 --> 02:28:30,400 That's three D6. Or have their own organs sprout 2824 02:28:30,400 --> 02:28:35,840 forth, enjoy, or sprout forth to join them. 2825 02:28:36,280 --> 02:28:41,760 If your highest card in your hand is diamonds, the call is 2826 02:28:41,760 --> 02:28:44,880 one of cowardice and violence. And sorry, cowardice, violence 2827 02:28:44,960 --> 02:28:47,440 and spite. The organs fly to challenge such 2828 02:28:47,440 --> 02:28:50,720 claim, the pressure of this causing explosion of gore and 2829 02:28:50,720 --> 02:28:53,720 bone shards. Any adjacent individual must 2830 02:28:53,720 --> 02:28:56,880 save or take 2D6 damage. It's such a. 2831 02:28:57,120 --> 02:28:59,000 Horrifying fucking spell. It's. 2832 02:28:59,600 --> 02:29:01,520 It's insane. You know what's interesting 2833 02:29:01,520 --> 02:29:06,400 about this, too, is that the face cards have suits. 2834 02:29:06,720 --> 02:29:10,960 Yeah, and it's a 10 that could easily you could easily auto 2835 02:29:10,960 --> 02:29:14,320 have the the demon card in your hand. 2836 02:29:14,960 --> 02:29:20,320 And so if I have the king of hearts, I and I get a 17 with a 2837 02:29:20,320 --> 02:29:23,800 king and A7, I can just auto do the heart on this because I have 2838 02:29:23,800 --> 02:29:26,080 the king in my hand and just basically choose the spell 2839 02:29:26,840 --> 02:29:29,080 Insane, insane. This is one of the most 2840 02:29:29,080 --> 02:29:33,240 interesting. In depth, clever, cool, just 2841 02:29:33,320 --> 02:29:37,520 badass, disgusting, awesome fucking magic systems I've ever 2842 02:29:37,520 --> 02:29:39,800 read. Yeah, it's so absurd. 2843 02:29:40,040 --> 02:29:43,160 It's also, I did the and you've already just spoke about this, 2844 02:29:43,160 --> 02:29:46,600 but like the varying levels of the depth and how that like 2845 02:29:46,600 --> 02:29:50,160 slowly adds to your ability to successfully cast powerful 2846 02:29:50,160 --> 02:29:55,400 spells or to like, yeah, almost guarantee that you'll get a 2847 02:29:55,400 --> 02:29:58,120 certain extended effect from the spell. 2848 02:29:59,360 --> 02:30:03,240 It's really great. It's, it's a thing that it's a 2849 02:30:03,240 --> 02:30:06,880 level of depth that magic systems never fucking have. 2850 02:30:09,120 --> 02:30:12,040 And this is great. Makes magic feel magical, you 2851 02:30:12,040 --> 02:30:13,880 know? And once again, I'll refer to 2852 02:30:13,920 --> 02:30:15,720 Wolves Upon the Coast because I'm a piece of shit like that. 2853 02:30:15,960 --> 02:30:18,720 But the spell casting there gives me a similar feeling. 2854 02:30:18,720 --> 02:30:22,360 Not that it works the same at all, but that it's arcane and 2855 02:30:22,360 --> 02:30:25,160 you need components for that one. 2856 02:30:25,160 --> 02:30:28,840 And there's a whole like system to it that feels very magical. 2857 02:30:28,840 --> 02:30:32,200 This one also like as you grow and you're like where in your 2858 02:30:32,200 --> 02:30:36,840 initiation you are into the system, it changes how powerful 2859 02:30:36,840 --> 02:30:39,320 or the depth of magic you you've plumbed. 2860 02:30:40,080 --> 02:30:41,120 That's great. It's very. 2861 02:30:41,120 --> 02:30:42,840 Good. I also I also love that there's 2862 02:30:42,840 --> 02:30:44,920 no like spell slots and shit right? 2863 02:30:44,920 --> 02:30:46,880 It just says they're in tomes and scrolls. 2864 02:30:47,240 --> 02:30:50,320 If you find one, you have it and that's it and that's the 2865 02:30:50,320 --> 02:30:52,720 craziest thing. So if you do have this one 2866 02:30:53,280 --> 02:30:56,200 right, and that's the only tome you have, this is the only magic 2867 02:30:56,200 --> 02:30:59,840 you're casting. So your odds of trying to if you 2868 02:30:59,840 --> 02:31:03,080 get to the waves right, the shore, the the what is it? 2869 02:31:03,080 --> 02:31:04,680 What are they again? I don't know why my brain. 2870 02:31:04,680 --> 02:31:07,480 Keeps saying no to this. So if you get to the depths 2871 02:31:07,920 --> 02:31:15,120 right and you actually are going for a bro, if you have if you 2872 02:31:15,120 --> 02:31:17,640 have all three and you have the item, you can literally have 2873 02:31:17,640 --> 02:31:21,320 your demon card pull your item and just auto cast the fucking 2874 02:31:21,320 --> 02:31:22,000 spell. Crazy. 2875 02:31:22,000 --> 02:31:23,640 Anyway, that's Oh my God, it's so clever. 2876 02:31:23,880 --> 02:31:27,480 Remember that there isn't spell slots necessarily, but once you 2877 02:31:27,480 --> 02:31:29,800 use a card to cast. It's gone. 2878 02:31:29,800 --> 02:31:31,720 Yeah, Card. Until the next day. 2879 02:31:32,200 --> 02:31:34,000 Right, right, right, right. But it's I just mean like to 2880 02:31:34,000 --> 02:31:35,920 actually like if you have 10 tones, you have 10 spells, 2881 02:31:35,920 --> 02:31:38,360 right, Like the odds of having more than one realistically in a 2882 02:31:38,360 --> 02:31:40,720 campaign is crazy. But what I'm saying is like, if 2883 02:31:40,720 --> 02:31:44,840 you find one and it is a spell that is hearts, your odds of not 2884 02:31:44,840 --> 02:31:47,160 going for the you're you're probably going to try to get to 2885 02:31:47,160 --> 02:31:49,040 the waves with for the king of Queen of Hearts. 2886 02:31:49,280 --> 02:31:51,800 So you already are kind of like, Oh, I'm going to try to find 2887 02:31:51,800 --> 02:31:53,760 that demon kind of thing. And that's just crazy. 2888 02:31:53,760 --> 02:31:55,840 That's such a good through line of like narrative with that. 2889 02:31:56,480 --> 02:31:58,440 I don't know, it's so good. It's so good. 2890 02:31:58,720 --> 02:32:01,520 Anyway, that's the game. The last thing is blue cheese 2891 02:32:01,520 --> 02:32:02,800 left to rot, which is an adventure. 2892 02:32:02,800 --> 02:32:04,480 And guess what? Read the fucking adventures by 2893 02:32:04,480 --> 02:32:05,960 the game. It's really cool. 2894 02:32:05,960 --> 02:32:08,080 I'm not even going to give you any spoilers, not even not even 2895 02:32:08,080 --> 02:32:10,680 going to scroll over it because there's fun stuff right off the 2896 02:32:10,680 --> 02:32:12,280 bat. Boom, we're done. 2897 02:32:12,560 --> 02:32:15,520 And this is the Backpage with the with the piece of art on the 2898 02:32:15,520 --> 02:32:18,080 back and what I was talking about before and that's the 2899 02:32:18,080 --> 02:32:18,880 game. We did it. 2900 02:32:18,880 --> 02:32:20,800 We did it in like 2 1/2 hours. So let's go to the review 2901 02:32:20,800 --> 02:32:26,360 scores. So Swivers, this is obviously a 2902 02:32:26,360 --> 02:32:31,040 book that's 95 pages. So we do quantify our terrible 2903 02:32:31,040 --> 02:32:34,520 opinions with numbers on metrics real quick run through for those 2904 02:32:34,520 --> 02:32:35,760 that might not have heard them before. 2905 02:32:36,280 --> 02:32:38,320 Art and layout is the visuals of the book. 2906 02:32:38,320 --> 02:32:41,360 It is the art of the book, quality, quantity, usage, 2907 02:32:41,360 --> 02:32:43,960 everything like that. And the visual layout of the 2908 02:32:43,960 --> 02:32:48,080 book, just how it looks, right? If it flows, is it readable? 2909 02:32:48,080 --> 02:32:49,800 You know, big gaps, things like that. 2910 02:32:49,800 --> 02:32:53,760 Whatever usability is, the usability of that layout, plus 2911 02:32:53,800 --> 02:32:57,520 hyperlinks and bookmarks and and if things are in what we 2912 02:32:57,520 --> 02:33:02,200 consider to be a, a good order, it's how easy it is to take the 2913 02:33:02,200 --> 02:33:07,040 book and use it at the table or read it in a, in a consistent 2914 02:33:09,560 --> 02:33:12,560 flowing way, right? Rule set is the rule set of the 2915 02:33:12,560 --> 02:33:13,520 game. It is the rules. 2916 02:33:13,520 --> 02:33:15,160 It is. If it's an adapted rule set, how 2917 02:33:15,160 --> 02:33:17,760 well is it adapted? If it's a unique rule set, how, 2918 02:33:17,760 --> 02:33:19,720 how do we fucking like it? Because don't forget, this is 2919 02:33:19,720 --> 02:33:23,960 our opinions, right? Originality are terrible fucking 2920 02:33:23,960 --> 02:33:25,320 opinions. We need to put that on a shirt. 2921 02:33:25,640 --> 02:33:29,320 Originality is the original originality in any of these 2922 02:33:29,320 --> 02:33:31,360 aspects, right? Is it an original setting? 2923 02:33:31,360 --> 02:33:33,960 Is it original rule system, original lore? 2924 02:33:33,960 --> 02:33:36,400 All that kind of crap. And then value is bang for your 2925 02:33:36,400 --> 02:33:40,280 buck. It is not just the cost of the 2926 02:33:40,280 --> 02:33:43,880 thing, but the associated stuff you get with it, right? 2927 02:33:43,880 --> 02:33:45,200 Do you get a bunch of adventures? 2928 02:33:45,200 --> 02:33:47,760 Do you get a bunch of is there a third party license? 2929 02:33:47,760 --> 02:33:51,120 Is there, is there more than just what's written in the book? 2930 02:33:51,520 --> 02:33:53,880 How long can you play this game based on what's written in the 2931 02:33:53,880 --> 02:34:01,640 book, etcetera, etcetera. So 10 points each up to 50 art 2932 02:34:01,640 --> 02:34:03,120 and layout. What are your thoughts? 2933 02:34:04,000 --> 02:34:07,080 I enjoy, I mean, the arts fucking insane. 2934 02:34:07,120 --> 02:34:10,040 Like the arts actually crazy, the arts insane. 2935 02:34:10,280 --> 02:34:12,200 It's really good. And I like layout. 2936 02:34:12,200 --> 02:34:15,200 I like a lot of choices made with how things are delineated. 2937 02:34:15,360 --> 02:34:17,320 I think it's really easy to skim through it. 2938 02:34:17,920 --> 02:34:23,360 I do think when we get into the rules section, the IT starts to 2939 02:34:23,360 --> 02:34:28,560 feel a touch more cramped on certain pages, but not so much 2940 02:34:28,560 --> 02:34:30,920 that I really even think I'd count off for that. 2941 02:34:32,120 --> 02:34:34,200 I, I, I think it's an overwhelming success in. 2942 02:34:35,200 --> 02:34:40,280 This area I agree, but I will say I will say that the 2943 02:34:40,400 --> 02:34:43,480 adventure the Marlow docks that comes with. 2944 02:34:43,480 --> 02:34:44,880 Adventure. Not the adventure in the book. 2945 02:34:44,880 --> 02:34:46,440 It came with another adventure too. 2946 02:34:46,440 --> 02:34:49,320 Another adventure. I will say I do like the layout 2947 02:34:49,320 --> 02:34:55,080 on this a little bit more in that it's got more colors as in 2948 02:34:55,080 --> 02:34:57,840 there's like red to to differentiate some of the 2949 02:34:57,840 --> 02:35:01,840 sections and which I enjoy. It's a little, it does have a 2950 02:35:01,840 --> 02:35:05,240 little bit more space. It does change font sizes in 2951 02:35:05,240 --> 02:35:09,720 some areas to to allow for a little bit more room. 2952 02:35:09,720 --> 02:35:11,320 You're right, it does get a little cramped because there are 2953 02:35:11,320 --> 02:35:15,640 sections in the in the rule specifically where the headers 2954 02:35:15,640 --> 02:35:17,520 just become like a thin capital thing. 2955 02:35:17,520 --> 02:35:19,200 But there's no spaces in between. 2956 02:35:19,480 --> 02:35:22,200 Especially when you look at like the armor page, which in the 2957 02:35:22,200 --> 02:35:24,920 this and that section, it gets really, really tight. 2958 02:35:27,000 --> 02:35:29,440 Boom, there it is. So I actually really enjoy this. 2959 02:35:29,480 --> 02:35:33,440 I think I think mostly because like you said, this, this 2960 02:35:33,440 --> 02:35:35,160 specifically does allow for a little bit more room. 2961 02:35:35,480 --> 02:35:40,360 But I mean, you got to give a little bit of a little bit of 2962 02:35:40,360 --> 02:35:42,640 leeway with some of the layout with the way that like pages 2963 02:35:42,640 --> 02:35:44,320 work and shit. Like I didn't know for the 2964 02:35:44,320 --> 02:35:48,040 longest time that your page count has to be like divisible 2965 02:35:48,040 --> 02:35:49,960 by 4 or something like that because of the way that like 2966 02:35:49,960 --> 02:35:51,160 books get bound and stuff like that. 2967 02:35:51,160 --> 02:35:53,680 So to be like, oh, let's add one more page, you fucking can't. 2968 02:35:54,160 --> 02:35:55,840 So when things get a little tight at the bottom to keep it 2969 02:35:55,840 --> 02:35:59,040 consistent, it it it's it's if we're like, if we're being as 2970 02:35:59,040 --> 02:36:02,680 pedantic as we are because we are, it can bother us, but I can 2971 02:36:02,680 --> 02:36:04,000 understand it. So. 2972 02:36:05,440 --> 02:36:07,200 So what are your thoughts? I mean, the art, the art is 2973 02:36:07,200 --> 02:36:08,400 insane. And I know we said at the 2974 02:36:08,400 --> 02:36:10,520 beginning, oh, like, could use more spot art, but honestly, 2975 02:36:10,520 --> 02:36:11,760 when I flipped through, I was like, yeah. 2976 02:36:11,760 --> 02:36:13,240 I changed my opinion after I flipped through. 2977 02:36:13,240 --> 02:36:16,520 I'm like, no, you know what I'm. Wrong very few pages. 2978 02:36:16,520 --> 02:36:20,400 I think maybe like the occult fences has like half a page of 2979 02:36:20,440 --> 02:36:22,520 empty that I wouldn't have minded a little bit of something 2980 02:36:22,520 --> 02:36:26,280 on. But other than that, like most 2981 02:36:26,280 --> 02:36:31,040 of the most of the pages that have big empty gaps are filled. 2982 02:36:31,040 --> 02:36:32,400 And then I immediately filmed the one that's not. 2983 02:36:32,400 --> 02:36:34,840 But it doesn't bother me. I think the layout fits a page. 2984 02:36:34,840 --> 02:36:37,200 And you know, what also helps a little bit too is at least in 2985 02:36:37,200 --> 02:36:39,680 the book, it's the paper isn't white. 2986 02:36:39,720 --> 02:36:45,520 It's like a it's like a like an eggshell kind of. 2987 02:36:45,520 --> 02:36:49,560 So it's not crisp against your eyes and it's got a, it's got a, 2988 02:36:49,560 --> 02:36:53,600 hey, let me just let me just go here real quick. 2989 02:36:55,520 --> 02:36:59,480 So in the book you can see that it has like an ink kind of 2990 02:36:59,480 --> 02:37:02,320 texture on the paper a little bit, you know what I mean? 2991 02:37:02,600 --> 02:37:04,640 And the paper is not super crisp white. 2992 02:37:04,640 --> 02:37:06,280 It's much softer white on the eyes. 2993 02:37:06,440 --> 02:37:10,640 But all the black flecks and stuff, I got to say, it is a 2994 02:37:10,640 --> 02:37:16,080 small thing, but having white paper that's not completely 2995 02:37:16,080 --> 02:37:19,640 white and having just a little bit of texture on it, it saves 2996 02:37:19,640 --> 02:37:22,360 the eyes when you're trying to read something like this, right? 2997 02:37:22,360 --> 02:37:24,240 And it also adds just a little bit of flavor. 2998 02:37:24,240 --> 02:37:26,200 Himbos does the same thing where they have a little bit of 2999 02:37:26,200 --> 02:37:28,720 texture to the paper and it's a little bit, it's not white. 3000 02:37:28,720 --> 02:37:31,120 It's like a very light tannish like off white color. 3001 02:37:31,520 --> 02:37:33,480 Yeah. I mean, I think great choice. 3002 02:37:33,640 --> 02:37:37,120 This might be great for me. You know, I think, I think. 3003 02:37:37,120 --> 02:37:40,880 This is. Man, I'm thinking maybe it's 3004 02:37:40,880 --> 02:37:43,080 actually probably about 7 you. Think it's really good? 3005 02:37:43,080 --> 02:37:46,080 You think it's really good? It's it's branching on. 3006 02:37:46,080 --> 02:37:49,560 Great. So here's the thing. 3007 02:37:49,560 --> 02:37:55,240 I think the layout. I think the layout is good and I 3008 02:37:55,240 --> 02:37:58,880 think that the art is really. Great. 3009 02:37:59,760 --> 02:38:05,520 I think the art is great and I think if you mix good and great, 3010 02:38:05,680 --> 02:38:07,240 I think you are really good, yeah. 3011 02:38:08,640 --> 02:38:10,560 Yeah. I'm good with I don't know, I 3012 02:38:10,600 --> 02:38:12,040 bro, I don't. Here's the thing. 3013 02:38:12,040 --> 02:38:15,600 The art is really good. There's also the page texture 3014 02:38:15,960 --> 02:38:18,360 and like just to look at the book as you go through. 3015 02:38:18,360 --> 02:38:21,560 What's great on PDF is fine, but reading in the book you're like 3016 02:38:21,600 --> 02:38:23,320 this is truly a delight to go through. 3017 02:38:23,720 --> 02:38:26,880 Yes, I think it's great. Cool, I'm right. 3018 02:38:27,040 --> 02:38:28,280 So are. You good with great. 3019 02:38:28,520 --> 02:38:31,360 Yeah, absolutely. That was my original call, yeah. 3020 02:38:31,560 --> 02:38:34,120 And now you all listening. All the clever people listening 3021 02:38:34,120 --> 02:38:36,040 will figure out where our new internal metric is. 3022 02:38:36,600 --> 02:38:43,240 How would you say that out loud? So art layout 8 usability OK. 3023 02:38:45,080 --> 02:38:48,400 Yeah, so this is where it's going to suffer. 3024 02:38:48,960 --> 02:38:51,400 I think so for multiple reasons you go. 3025 02:38:52,280 --> 02:38:57,200 It's in a peculiar order. Sometimes I think it works and 3026 02:38:57,200 --> 02:38:59,680 there's an internal logic. Other parts of it I'm like, I 3027 02:38:59,680 --> 02:39:03,840 don't think that works. There is details missing that 3028 02:39:03,840 --> 02:39:08,280 we've discussed that are kind of explained later on, but I think 3029 02:39:08,280 --> 02:39:10,480 they needed to be a little more front loaded and actually maybe 3030 02:39:10,480 --> 02:39:13,880 explained a little bit better. You're able to if you've read a 3031 02:39:13,880 --> 02:39:15,720 bunch of books, especially if you've read a bunch of like old 3032 02:39:15,720 --> 02:39:18,440 school stuff or OSR shit. You're able to glean what is 3033 02:39:18,440 --> 02:39:20,920 meant by things. But you you're able to. 3034 02:39:20,920 --> 02:39:23,600 Guess you're able to have a good guess like. 3035 02:39:23,600 --> 02:39:27,440 I don't think you can with any certainty give a concrete 3036 02:39:27,440 --> 02:39:30,200 answer, but I think you can. You can guess what the possible 3037 02:39:30,200 --> 02:39:32,640 intent was in a better way than people that haven't, but. 3038 02:39:32,960 --> 02:39:37,080 This is a hard, that's a hard one for me because I am of the 3039 02:39:37,440 --> 02:39:41,040 of the I prefer you actually not like, let me just glean some 3040 02:39:41,040 --> 02:39:43,160 stuff from this, like the implications of things. 3041 02:39:43,160 --> 02:39:45,520 I'm fine. I'll run this game at my table 3042 02:39:45,520 --> 02:39:49,640 how I think it should be run, which I think is at least part 3043 02:39:49,640 --> 02:39:54,360 of the intent. Yeah, it's if you're going into 3044 02:39:54,360 --> 02:39:59,240 this with any less experience than me, who's now overview 200 3045 02:39:59,240 --> 02:40:03,600 something games like it will will, you will have a harder 3046 02:40:03,600 --> 02:40:09,000 time understanding it. I I agreed to a point and then 3047 02:40:09,000 --> 02:40:11,440 disagree with some of the latter part that somehow there was like 3048 02:40:11,440 --> 02:40:14,840 an intent to just intuit the rules because it is a rule book. 3049 02:40:14,840 --> 02:40:16,040 Give me the fucking rules, right? 3050 02:40:16,200 --> 02:40:18,920 But and I also think like I genuinely think the skills thing 3051 02:40:18,920 --> 02:40:20,800 is just missing. Like I do generally think it's 3052 02:40:20,800 --> 02:40:22,480 just missing. I think there's like a line or 3053 02:40:22,480 --> 02:40:25,840 two that somehow was like, fuck, I didn't tell them what skills 3054 02:40:25,840 --> 02:40:27,160 they start with. And if they start with none, I 3055 02:40:27,160 --> 02:40:28,480 didn't tell them they don't start with any. 3056 02:40:28,760 --> 02:40:31,320 Like that is not a thing that you should, if that is the 3057 02:40:31,320 --> 02:40:33,760 intended to just figure it out on your own is not a good thing. 3058 02:40:33,760 --> 02:40:36,920 Like that's not good to me. Like tell people how to play the 3059 02:40:36,920 --> 02:40:39,280 game. If I'm guessing by literally 3060 02:40:39,280 --> 02:40:41,240 going to three different sections, right? 3061 02:40:41,440 --> 02:40:45,320 So if we look at, if we look at, you know, the page numbers, I 3062 02:40:45,320 --> 02:40:50,360 mean, I'm going from character creation on page 4 to then 3063 02:40:50,360 --> 02:40:56,720 jumping to skills on page 24, to then jumping to advancement on 3064 02:40:56,720 --> 02:41:01,480 page 32 to just to try to figure out if I start with any skills. 3065 02:41:02,000 --> 02:41:05,120 If that is somehow the intent, which I do not believe it is, 3066 02:41:05,120 --> 02:41:07,560 that's crazy. And if it's not the intent, then 3067 02:41:07,560 --> 02:41:11,360 there is literally maybe like 15 words that could clarify both 3068 02:41:11,680 --> 02:41:13,160 where you're fighting skills come from and at. 3069 02:41:13,160 --> 02:41:15,120 But but is that a usability or is that a rule set? 3070 02:41:15,120 --> 02:41:18,440 Because I think we're just going to come up in both, but I think 3071 02:41:18,440 --> 02:41:20,280 it's my biggest. I think it's a usability. 3072 02:41:21,000 --> 02:41:23,800 Yeah, I think my biggest beef is, is the order of things as 3073 02:41:23,800 --> 02:41:26,640 far as you build usability. Yeah, I mean, I'm fine to put 3074 02:41:26,640 --> 02:41:29,640 punt off that would just talk to you onto a rule set and talk 3075 02:41:29,640 --> 02:41:32,280 about the mostly the order of things in this one. 3076 02:41:32,720 --> 02:41:35,320 Because yeah, I do think it's in the weird order. 3077 02:41:35,800 --> 02:41:41,400 I think we were able to logic out some of the choices from 3078 02:41:41,400 --> 02:41:44,640 like that bit like the the pick not pick list but the the this 3079 02:41:44,640 --> 02:41:48,160 and that section. But I mean, even if you go 3080 02:41:48,160 --> 02:41:50,080 through the table of contents, right, you got character 3081 02:41:50,080 --> 02:41:54,520 creation and then under general rules, advancement is between 3082 02:41:54,520 --> 02:41:58,800 healing and fences. It's a very weird spot to put 3083 02:41:58,800 --> 02:42:04,040 your advancement because this it is character creation stuff, but 3084 02:42:04,040 --> 02:42:06,680 it's not even then with like the skills and save, which is the 3085 02:42:06,680 --> 02:42:08,200 whole point of the advancement, right. 3086 02:42:08,200 --> 02:42:13,720 So it it's just AI don't know. It's a weird order, I think, I 3087 02:42:13,720 --> 02:42:17,320 think, but it here's the thing. As far as other usability tools 3088 02:42:17,320 --> 02:42:22,480 we have, we have. I'm not even worried about the 3089 02:42:22,480 --> 02:42:25,160 bookmarks because specifically because of that hyperlink. 3090 02:42:25,280 --> 02:42:26,400 Yeah, the hyperlink thing is back. 3091 02:42:26,400 --> 02:42:28,320 To the table of content. Yeah, that's actually. 3092 02:42:28,720 --> 02:42:30,800 Great table of contents, hyperlinks, inline hyperlinks, 3093 02:42:31,800 --> 02:42:34,920 everything is every page is linked back to the table of 3094 02:42:34,920 --> 02:42:36,320 contents. Honestly, that's all I want. 3095 02:42:36,320 --> 02:42:38,320 From a fucking PDF. Give me that, Give me that. 3096 02:42:38,720 --> 02:42:40,080 Give me that. From your PDFs. 3097 02:42:40,120 --> 02:42:43,160 Yeah, just give me that. So I think this is good. 3098 02:42:43,600 --> 02:42:45,720 I think it's, yeah, I think I would probably, probably give 3099 02:42:45,720 --> 02:42:48,760 this one like a six. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 3100 02:42:50,280 --> 02:42:51,000 Boom. All right. 3101 02:42:51,000 --> 02:42:53,400 Rule set. This is a weird one. 3102 02:42:54,320 --> 02:42:56,000 I love the rule set. I love the rule set. 3103 02:42:56,000 --> 02:42:58,680 The rule set's crazy good. The I love all the rules in it. 3104 02:42:58,680 --> 02:43:04,160 I love how magic works. Like I like that in this one 3105 02:43:04,160 --> 02:43:07,400 where you're rolling a certain amount of dice under right. 3106 02:43:07,560 --> 02:43:10,960 And it gives you context for why you would roll 3D six or four or 3107 02:43:10,960 --> 02:43:15,640 4D6 or 5D6, which they, it didn't have in wolves. 3108 02:43:16,320 --> 02:43:19,120 And so I was like, OK, well, what's the, what's the deciding 3109 02:43:19,120 --> 02:43:22,080 factor on each of those? I like that it's laid out more 3110 02:43:22,080 --> 02:43:24,880 plainly here, and I like how hard that potentially makes 3111 02:43:24,880 --> 02:43:26,720 things. Yeah, yeah. 3112 02:43:26,880 --> 02:43:31,280 And I so here's my thing. When I like games and all the 3113 02:43:31,280 --> 02:43:33,520 games that I've made that I've never put out and all the games 3114 02:43:33,520 --> 02:43:35,120 that I like, I like when it's very consistent. 3115 02:43:35,120 --> 02:43:37,960 Give me all D sixes, right? I just want to use AD 6 for 3116 02:43:37,960 --> 02:43:41,640 everything. So this game that uses D sixes 3117 02:43:41,680 --> 02:43:45,800 for skills and saves, but also has like a target number thing 3118 02:43:45,800 --> 02:43:48,560 for when it doesn't matter, but also then uses D twelves for 3119 02:43:48,560 --> 02:43:51,200 competing roles, which then also uses D 10s for fighting roles 3120 02:43:51,400 --> 02:43:57,200 and then uses D fours. D6 is D eights for fail tables, 3121 02:43:57,200 --> 02:43:59,440 D 20s, D one hundreds for like all the rest of that. 3122 02:43:59,440 --> 02:44:00,760 It uses like every freaking dice. 3123 02:44:01,160 --> 02:44:03,160 Yeah, it's it's a lot and I like it. 3124 02:44:03,160 --> 02:44:04,320 It's fucking weird. Honestly. 3125 02:44:04,480 --> 02:44:07,280 It's to me it's the most like Luke Gearing fucking thing to 3126 02:44:07,280 --> 02:44:09,480 just be like, I'm gonna make you use a bunch of fucking dice, you 3127 02:44:09,600 --> 02:44:12,000 assholes. I thought all of them so I might 3128 02:44:12,000 --> 02:44:13,920 as well use all of them so. It's good. 3129 02:44:14,000 --> 02:44:17,400 The magic is in and of itself. If you just gave me that as a 3130 02:44:17,400 --> 02:44:20,720 scene, it would blow me the fuck like in and of itself is insane. 3131 02:44:20,880 --> 02:44:24,680 The it's great, honestly. Like the biggest beef I have is, 3132 02:44:25,000 --> 02:44:29,160 is honestly what could be less than 15 words of clarity on what 3133 02:44:29,160 --> 02:44:31,920 and when you get the fighting skill and if you have any 3134 02:44:31,920 --> 02:44:34,800 starting skills, that's it. It would take honestly one 3135 02:44:34,800 --> 02:44:38,160 sentence, 11 message, so I'm not going to hold that much against 3136 02:44:38,160 --> 02:44:42,560 it. I genuinely I I love this. 3137 02:44:42,680 --> 02:44:44,960 I genuinely, genuinely love this. 3138 02:44:45,400 --> 02:44:50,480 Like this is I'm still boring on excellent. 3139 02:44:50,800 --> 02:44:54,000 Even with yeah, I must say, even with the stuff that's wrong with 3140 02:44:54,000 --> 02:44:56,640 this, I'm still like an 8-9 on this. 3141 02:44:57,040 --> 02:45:03,200 Easy, easy, easy like like like I want to be like a nine and 3142 02:45:03,200 --> 02:45:05,800 then the lack of clarity dropping it to an 8 for. 3143 02:45:05,800 --> 02:45:07,720 Me, I think and I think that's where we're at and I think it's 3144 02:45:07,720 --> 02:45:09,520 an 8. I think if it were the clarity 3145 02:45:09,520 --> 02:45:11,520 on a couple parts, it would be a nine. 3146 02:45:12,560 --> 02:45:15,440 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. 3147 02:45:15,440 --> 02:45:18,240 So originally it is a blaze in the dark hack. 3148 02:45:21,640 --> 02:45:29,360 I think that the setting of this game is wonderfully British in a 3149 02:45:29,360 --> 02:45:34,240 way that it really leans into as hard as possible that listen, I 3150 02:45:34,400 --> 02:45:38,400 I'm a big into the odd guy and I've run Bastion, you know, and 3151 02:45:38,400 --> 02:45:40,360 into the odd, which is a another. 3152 02:45:40,360 --> 02:45:43,680 Like it's supposed to be like an industrial revolution era, like 3153 02:45:45,080 --> 02:45:47,800 London ish kind of British place. 3154 02:45:47,840 --> 02:45:51,560 But this is feels different. This feels deeply more. 3155 02:45:54,920 --> 02:45:58,360 The slaying is a lot deeper, It is a lot more thematic. 3156 02:45:58,360 --> 02:46:01,760 It feels like a place. I really like the setting of 3157 02:46:01,840 --> 02:46:04,600 this. So that the magic system, to me, 3158 02:46:04,600 --> 02:46:07,240 the originality, the depth of that is insane, yeah. 3159 02:46:08,760 --> 02:46:12,560 Not only blackjack, but like blackjack with riffing on the 3160 02:46:12,560 --> 02:46:15,200 rules by being able to start with the card in your hand based 3161 02:46:15,200 --> 02:46:18,200 on the component that you have or like a deal you've made with 3162 02:46:18,200 --> 02:46:22,000 the devil and the levels. Not only that, casting the spell 3163 02:46:22,200 --> 02:46:25,160 and the spell having different effects based on what is in your 3164 02:46:25,160 --> 02:46:29,400 hand as you cast it. I, I think it's, I mean, it's 3165 02:46:29,400 --> 02:46:31,240 such a genius. I'm, I'm constantly trying to 3166 02:46:31,240 --> 02:46:33,360 work on a magic system that I like and they're never as good 3167 02:46:33,360 --> 02:46:35,280 as what the fuck in that, you know? 3168 02:46:35,280 --> 02:46:36,720 Nothing is going to be as good as this this is. 3169 02:46:37,040 --> 02:46:38,320 There's no way I'll write a magic. 3170 02:46:38,520 --> 02:46:41,600 There's just on magic that aren't as good as this. 3171 02:46:41,600 --> 02:46:45,360 Like that's insane. They're games Wizards with magic 3172 02:46:45,480 --> 02:46:48,320 that are as good, no? It's, and this one is basically 3173 02:46:48,320 --> 02:46:50,320 like, you might never use magic at all, but let me give you one 3174 02:46:50,320 --> 02:46:52,000 of the coolest magic systems that have been written. 3175 02:46:52,000 --> 02:46:53,920 It's insane. Insane. 3176 02:46:55,360 --> 02:46:58,400 And the rules, that's great. Like I really do like it is a 3177 02:46:58,400 --> 02:47:01,920 callback to like rule systems that I already enjoy. 3178 02:47:02,920 --> 02:47:05,360 But they're used well and they're they're kind of expanded 3179 02:47:05,360 --> 02:47:08,280 a little bit from what they were previously and they're explained 3180 02:47:08,280 --> 02:47:09,400 a little better in certain parts. 3181 02:47:10,960 --> 02:47:13,760 Yeah, I give this 1-2 Hunter thumbs up. 3182 02:47:15,040 --> 02:47:19,120 Yeah, what number does that? I mean to me this is an easy 8. 3183 02:47:19,560 --> 02:47:24,280 I think it's an easy 8. Are you thinking it's a It's a 3184 02:47:24,360 --> 02:47:28,080 It's a hard 9? It's almost a nine for me, man. 3185 02:47:29,080 --> 02:47:31,400 I don't know so. You're playing as a thief in a 3186 02:47:31,400 --> 02:47:33,240 scummy city that's been done before. 3187 02:47:33,480 --> 02:47:35,120 You are playing like I think an 8's good. 3188 02:47:35,680 --> 02:47:38,880 Yeah, I think an 8's good because again, I mean, we don't 3189 02:47:38,880 --> 02:47:41,120 need. Never mind, we've already made 3190 02:47:41,120 --> 02:47:42,440 the joke 18 times, so it doesn't matter. 3191 02:47:42,960 --> 02:47:44,240 I have no idea what the value is. 3192 02:47:44,240 --> 02:47:45,400 How do you even fucking buy this right now? 3193 02:47:45,800 --> 02:47:49,640 You go to. Melsonian hyphen arts hyphen 3194 02:47:49,640 --> 02:47:52,760 council dot H dot IO back slash swibers. 3195 02:47:53,440 --> 02:47:59,920 It is 12 USD for the PDF, which I don't think is bad. 3196 02:47:59,920 --> 02:48:02,360 I mean $12.00 PDF for this, I think that's that's pretty darn 3197 02:48:02,360 --> 02:48:03,600 good. It comes with an adventure in 3198 02:48:03,600 --> 02:48:07,680 there if I want to. I'm sure if you go to the 3199 02:48:07,680 --> 02:48:14,560 Masonian the demo is free too. There's a demo and then if you 3200 02:48:14,560 --> 02:48:16,600 go to the actual Masonian arts page. 3201 02:48:17,560 --> 02:48:20,920 I am slowly but surely. Right, we're getting there. 3202 02:48:21,360 --> 02:48:24,840 Is it even on here yet? Maybe not. 3203 02:48:25,280 --> 02:48:26,600 It's I don't think it's on here yet. 3204 02:48:26,880 --> 02:48:30,120 Oh, here it is. Swivers $38 USD. 3205 02:48:31,400 --> 02:48:33,080 It's not bad. No, not at all. 3206 02:48:33,080 --> 02:48:36,360 I think that's what that's fine. You are shipping if, if you're 3207 02:48:36,360 --> 02:48:41,560 not in the aisle, you are shipping from overseas, which is 3208 02:48:41,560 --> 02:48:44,360 going to add some money, $38. It's a good print. 3209 02:48:45,000 --> 02:48:49,920 It's 100 pages. I mean, it's, it's an average 3210 02:48:49,920 --> 02:48:51,880 price for a book, I think. I think that feels OK. 3211 02:48:51,880 --> 02:48:54,000 It's not a great deal. There's no bookmarks or anything 3212 02:48:54,000 --> 02:48:55,840 in it. I think it's a, it's a solid 3213 02:48:55,840 --> 02:48:57,320 deal. Do all you get is a book? 3214 02:48:57,320 --> 02:48:59,360 Does it come with the, the Marlow docks or anything? 3215 02:48:59,360 --> 02:49:02,360 Or is it just a straight book? I think it's just a straight 3216 02:49:02,360 --> 02:49:03,440 book hold. I want to say it too. 3217 02:49:03,440 --> 02:49:04,960 Confident when you're being wrong. 3218 02:49:04,960 --> 02:49:11,000 Oh. Shit, My shit's in dark mode, so 3219 02:49:11,000 --> 02:49:13,160 everything is like blocked out. Yeah, it's. 3220 02:49:13,520 --> 02:49:16,640 Just a book. OK, I mean, the book is great. 3221 02:49:17,600 --> 02:49:19,600 The book The book's great also being. 3222 02:49:20,000 --> 02:49:24,240 Able to all the tools to build out your and the midden. 3223 02:49:24,320 --> 02:49:27,400 It's like, I think that that's going to add an amount of life 3224 02:49:27,400 --> 02:49:29,400 that's hard to quantify. It'll really click with your 3225 02:49:29,400 --> 02:49:31,320 table or whatever. Yeah, well, I mean, that's 3226 02:49:31,320 --> 02:49:33,440 that's one of the reasons like something like Forgotten Ballot 3227 02:49:33,440 --> 02:49:35,640 got a really high score because it's it's endless. 3228 02:49:35,640 --> 02:49:39,040 You can build, you could build 50 different smoke cities and 3229 02:49:39,040 --> 02:49:41,160 stuff. You know, does I know that 3230 02:49:41,160 --> 02:49:44,240 there's a huge section in the beginning about usage. 3231 02:49:44,560 --> 02:49:46,560 Does it say anything about third party situations? 3232 02:49:46,560 --> 02:49:49,800 I don't think, I don't, I don't think so. 3233 02:49:49,800 --> 02:49:51,920 All rights reserved.

Shit. 3240 02:50:09,320 --> 02:50:12,640 So average price for the book, I mean, it's this is this is a 3241 02:50:12,640 --> 02:50:17,480 little, this is, I mean, average price of the book, right? 3242 02:50:18,120 --> 02:50:20,240 And then third party license add some points. 3243 02:50:20,360 --> 02:50:24,560 The depth of information you get from a a relatively thin book, 3244 02:50:24,760 --> 02:50:27,200 you get realistically endless play. 3245 02:50:27,720 --> 02:50:29,920 This is I think this is good. I think it's good. 3246 02:50:30,760 --> 02:50:35,440 Yeah, yeah. I I think for this I would, I 3247 02:50:35,440 --> 02:50:38,120 would say about a six. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 3248 02:50:38,400 --> 02:50:42,520 OK. So this is what we got and we 3249 02:50:42,520 --> 02:50:49,080 will wrap this up. So we got 8 + 6 + 8 + 8. 3250 02:50:49,160 --> 02:50:51,000 I didn't even do that anymore so it's 30 though. 3251 02:50:51,240 --> 02:50:54,480 But 36? O36 Wow I was way off Don't 3252 02:50:54,480 --> 02:50:55,800 listen. Bro this is This is why you 3253 02:50:55,800 --> 02:50:59,440 don't do the math anymore 36. I think 6. 3254 02:50:59,520 --> 02:51:00,520 Nevermind. I know I did. 3255 02:51:00,680 --> 02:51:04,440 I'm dumb idiot. So, so I will say this year we 3256 02:51:04,440 --> 02:51:10,160 did decide to have a more consistent, we adjusted our 3257 02:51:10,160 --> 02:51:12,440 internal metrics last year because so many fucking games 3258 02:51:12,440 --> 02:51:14,560 had eights as a rule set and then we give it an 8 for the 3259 02:51:14,560 --> 02:51:15,480 first rule set we do of the year. 3260 02:51:15,800 --> 02:51:19,120 So the scores this year overall are probably going to be a 3261 02:51:19,120 --> 02:51:23,640 little bit lower. 36. This might have been like a 38 3262 02:51:23,640 --> 02:51:27,520 or 39 maybe like a year, a year or two ago with us being a 3263 02:51:27,520 --> 02:51:30,200 little bit more. I think we've done this so much 3264 02:51:30,200 --> 02:51:31,920 at this point. We're trying to be a little bit 3265 02:51:32,160 --> 02:51:33,880 harsher this year. Not harsher, but it's more 3266 02:51:33,880 --> 02:51:37,920 consistent. This book is fucking amazing. 3267 02:51:39,000 --> 02:51:43,040 I think again, you can see it's it's average on value. 3268 02:51:43,040 --> 02:51:45,240 The, the, the area where it really suffered a little bit is 3269 02:51:45,240 --> 02:51:46,800 usability. Generally. 3270 02:51:47,080 --> 02:51:49,160 It's amazing. The art's amazing, the rule 3271 02:51:49,160 --> 02:51:50,720 set's amazing. It's lacking a little bit of 3272 02:51:50,720 --> 02:51:52,440 clarity and I think it's in a weird order. 3273 02:51:52,440 --> 02:51:54,080 And that's pretty much the critique I have. 3274 02:51:54,120 --> 02:51:57,080 Otherwise I would play this all day every fucking day. 3275 02:51:57,080 --> 02:51:59,560 Any day. I would run it, I would play it. 3276 02:52:00,320 --> 02:52:02,040 I would, I would play it fucking tomorrow. 3277 02:52:02,440 --> 02:52:04,680 It's it's great. I'm so glad I have this. 3278 02:52:04,680 --> 02:52:07,360 I would buy it if I didn't swipers Fox. 3279 02:52:07,360 --> 02:52:10,680 Like it's so good. That's it, that's all I got. 3280 02:52:10,680 --> 02:52:11,880 Do you have anything to say? You good? 3281 02:52:13,320 --> 02:52:16,680 Hey, thanks for listening.
