And today, we're actually going 4 00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,720 to be reviewing a game. Are we? 5 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,160 Which is crazy. Yeah, I don't. 6 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,800 Think we do that anymore? I didn't think so either, but 7 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,480 apparently we're getting back to it. 8 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,480 The crazy part is, how many episodes ago was it that we 9 00:00:39,480 --> 00:00:43,960 actually reviewed a game, 01234? We've had five episodes since 10 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:48,960 our last game review, so yeah. We got some very sleepy 11 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,240 Thursdays though. We switched. 12 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:52,520 We switched off on who was more tired on Thursdays. 13 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,120 I had a few like rough ones in a row. 14 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,200 And so did you. Actually, I think one of the 15 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,720 days that you were like, hey, I'm, I'm exhausted. 16 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,800 I was like, oh, thank fucking God, because there's no way I 17 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,400 would be able to be able to sit down. 18 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,760 So. Yeah, I think, and I think one 19 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,080 of the other ones, like, I oh shit, I don't know when this was 20 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,240 a thing. One of the other ones was like 21 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:19,000 the exact opposite, where I was like, I'm ready to go, But then 22 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,480 you were like, hey, I'm not feeling great and I was like, 23 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,880 fuck yes. I'm so glad that that that you 24 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,280 just said that because I do not feel like doing this right now. 25 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,440 You know what happened. Life gets in the way, you know. 26 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,480 Yeah, you know, stuff comes up, shit happens. 27 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,360 But we're back. And not only that, our plan is 28 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,200 to do another episode tomorrow, but today. 29 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,360 We're trying to make it up to you all. 30 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,480 Well, yeah, sure. We do this for you guys today. 31 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,280 We're going to be looking at three die six. 32 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,080 This is an interesting game from. 33 00:01:55,920 --> 00:02:00,320 So it's interesting because it's deeply dapper, deeply dapper 34 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,080 games, but also table tops and tentacles. 35 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,480 But it is Christopher Mcclanahan. 36 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:14,040 Yeah, this is fun. What I have here is the I don't 37 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,400 know it's some it's a special edition one or whatever. 38 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,760 I'll have to look up exact what that is. 39 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:24,440 But we also have this we might take a peek at a little bit too. 40 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:29,960 Which is yeah, the world of shimmer which is world this in 3 41 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,440 by 6. But this is a for those that 42 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:37,120 know what what the turtle means, this is a troika version of the 43 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,360 Shimmer and just keep going with that. 44 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,000 I also have this from the Shimmer. 45 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,080 This is the Egg Hunt and The Lost City. 46 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,320 These are solo adventures I will get into. 47 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,320 I'm sorry, Delve your own Dungeon books. 48 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,240 So three die six. So this. 49 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,840 I don't know if it was originally put out on 50 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,720 Kickstarter, but it did have a Kickstarter. 51 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:01,920 I'm not sure exactly when it funded. 52 00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:04,400 I know the last update is in September. 53 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,360 There's 33 updates. Let's see when this actually 54 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,480 funded. We'll just scroll all the way 55 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,160 down. I did not. 56 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,080 Back from there. I got my additions from from 57 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:19,520 good old drive through RPG. This was funded February 24th, 58 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:32,800 2021 and it was funded for $15,858 on a $560 goal with 589 59 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,520 backers. Damn damn wow. 60 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:43,040 But if you Google oh and then then the Troika shimmer version 61 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,880 came out. It looks like not too long after 62 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,960 that. It's a third party supplement 63 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,640 that also backed for about 3 grand on only $122. 64 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,480 Man make your make your make your pledges a little bit more 65 00:03:55,480 --> 00:04:04,920 expensive. But I went to I just googled 3 66 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,880 dot I6 Kickstarter and it said that there's like another 67 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,080 edition coming and I I had already followed the page. 68 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,720 So I guess I knew that at some .3 die six picture. 69 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:21,560 Let's see what it says here. Yes, second edition, second 70 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,720 edition and Shimmer Guidebook. I already have it saved. 71 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,440 The Creepy Carla role-playing Game returns for New Expanded 72 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,160 Edition and Guide to the World of Shimmer. 73 00:04:33,840 --> 00:04:35,400 We'll see when and if that's coming out. 74 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,040 I'm excited for that. I didn't know. 75 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,120 Yeah, I'm still. Maybe they'll fix some of the 76 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:41,640 things we're gonna talk about in today's episode. 77 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:43,920 Maybe. But we'll see. 78 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:48,400 Yeah. So 3 by 6, What else is going on 79 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,600 right now that we can talk about, particularly a couple of 80 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,240 Kickstarters going on right now? Today is I think, the last day 81 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,960 for the Karen 2E Kickstarter. So if you're watching and you 82 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,400 haven't backed it, go fucking back it. 83 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,280 But if you're listening to us, you probably did. 84 00:04:59,280 --> 00:05:00,840 There's. If you were listening to our 85 00:05:00,840 --> 00:05:03,760 show, there's no way you didn't back Karen 2E, you know? 86 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,360 Yeah, yeah, I mean. The five people who are 87 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,920 listening. Yeah, right. 88 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,320 Also though the Black Rainbow Society from Gabor Korogo which 89 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,920 is the new book for Hell Night which is one of our highest 90 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,880 rated RPGs of last year is is out. 91 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,640 It's a very long campaign. Gebra likes to do long campaigns 92 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,200 it's like it's like 40 days or something like that but it's 93 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,520 already funded it. It I think when I looked at it 94 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,120 was pretty early it was like a $3000 gold and it was already 95 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,520 like sick grant. So it looks great. 96 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:42,520 We love Gebra Koroga. We love Hal Knight. 97 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,920 It was great. It's it's great. 98 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,920 All their their Neurocity, Warpland, Hellnite, all the 99 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,880 stuff from Worlds of Kroger, really fantastic. 100 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,320 There's some other stuff that should be dumped from them soon 101 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:53,760 that I've got to look at a little bit. 102 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:55,120 That's also really cool. So. 103 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:04,000 Yeah, currently currently at almost 10 grand, a grand with 104 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,520 the goal of three grand and it has 37 days ago, so. 105 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,960 Yeah, backed it, already funded. It dropped yesterday. 106 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,240 But what we're going to be doing starting next week for three 107 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,720 weeks is we are going to be doing giveaways. 108 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,120 Gabriel was nice enough to send US1 of each of everything that 109 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,600 they've done in Hardback, Neuro, City, War, Planned and Hell 110 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,000 Night and we are going to be giving those away to listeners. 111 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:35,320 I think what I will probably do it on Twitter and allow people 112 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:39,560 to like the post for like a week and then just pick a winner on 113 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,160 the show on Thursdays and we'll do that for three weeks. 114 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,680 I think that's probably the best thing to do. 115 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:51,400 So if you're listening to us, definitely check that or stay 116 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,800 tuned.

Johan, Tell them to send me APDF 162 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:20,280 Game read through Boom three dye 6A dungeon, creepy crawler, RPG. 163 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,080 First and foremost, I do want to say this is the deluxe edition 164 00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:31,480 and Chris Mcclanahan, who is the The Who put out this game, is 165 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:36,200 the game designer, writer, artist, and does the layout and 166 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:40,440 cartography for it. Yeah, pretty much the entire 167 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,880 fucking book. And I will say I love the art, I 168 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,480 love the color palette. Probably my favorite thing in 169 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:48,280 the entire book. I would say it's it, yeah. 170 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,120 I also agree that it's the strongest part of this book is 171 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,800 like how good the art looks. You have the color palette for 172 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,160 it, the purples and the light Blues. 173 00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:03,000 I'm like, oh, this is great. The the vapor WAVY kind of 174 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,520 color, like if you see my entire like setup, it's all literally 175 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,280 like pinks, purples and Blues.

Like we said, they're you're in 203 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:27,320 that. You're in a a a Dungeness like 204 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,920 cavern area with these blue bug creatures riding a giant spider 205 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:35,320 fighting other blue bug creatures and a winged 1. 206 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,360 Oh.

The again, the art all the way 209 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,880 through this really fit and it all has this like beautiful 210 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,880 halftone over everything, which is just gorgeous cover, sick 211 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,120 art, sick all the way through. We'll just say that over and 212 00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:54,400 over again. I do like that the pages in it 213 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,600 have kind of like a page background. 214 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,560 It's not stark white, but it's also not fucking parchment like 215 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:06,120 like bad, Yeah, bad D&D, third party parchment. 216 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,400 It's just like a it's just like a a texture to a paper, which is 217 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:10,720 nice. It's really subtle on the eyes, 218 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:12,640 which is nice. Look at those names. 219 00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:17,280 I was looking at D&D 3.5 last week just because I was. 220 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,960 I was flipping through. I was like, Oh yeah, I used to 221 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,080 love 3.5 and it very much is of that like, oh, it's brown 222 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,080 because it's parchment. Like this is unreadable garbage. 223 00:12:27,680 --> 00:12:32,840 Yeah, I was saying I took notes in an A5, so I wanted to cycle 224 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,440 through those real quick before we get into it. 225 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,440 I I underline page number. So once we hit the 30s, remind 226 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:44,880 me to take a peek and great logos in here that are color 227 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,080 appropriate without backgrounds, which is really nice. 228 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,000 Yeah, absolutely dapper. And then tabletop and tentacles 229 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,720 and then dedication page, dedication and and the credits, 230 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:59,080 Page 3 out of 6 dedicated to their mom and a bunch of other 231 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:03,720 people, et cetera, et cetera, play testers including Ellen Bar 232 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,680 and and whatnot, and et cetera, et cetera. 233 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:11,320 I do like that there's links that are actually links in here, 234 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,800 which is cool. Oh yes, yeah, these actually 235 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,120 click out to places, which is nice. 236 00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:19,120 Oh yeah. And so it's 2021 and I love when 237 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,600 they have the typefaces listed, which is also really nice. 238 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,920 Crimson is such a good typeface. Anyway, Contents page love this. 239 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,280 It's nice. It's two column. 240 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,600 It's it's everything I need in one page. 241 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,480 Everything is hyperlinked. It's really fantastic. 242 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:39,320 So we have hyperlinks here, and we also have oh, I have no 243 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,160 bookmarks in this PDF. Oh, do I have any in mind? 244 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,840 I don't considering you. Have the same one as me, I 245 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,480 guess. The same one, no. 246 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:50,440 So at least in the Deluxe edition, we will say there are 247 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,320 no bookmarks, but there is hyperlinks. 248 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,800 If there are inline hyperlinks, it doesn't bother me so much 249 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:56,680 that there's not bookmarks. I can't remember. 250 00:13:56,680 --> 00:14:00,720 If there are inline hyperlinks, although from this like opening 251 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,280 couple of pages, I'm like there have to be because there's 252 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,200 already a ton of links in here, you know? 253 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,040 You would think, you would think it would be. 254 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,080 It would surprise me if not. So you wouldn't think the 255 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,920 entirety of the book is I think roughly around 150 pages. 256 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:23,560 It's like 130 a 135 and but but a lot of that, a lot of that is 257 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:29,360 bestiary world stuff. Tables like The actual meat of 258 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,040 the book is only like 30 to 40 pages, which is which is great. 259 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,880 Yeah, I didn't notice when I first cracked this open. 260 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,560 And I like, you know, it was like 104 whatever pages. 261 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:38,840 And I was like, OK, cool, whatever. 262 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,920 I have the evening and I was done pretty quick with like what 263 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,480 was most of it and a lot of it. There's a lot of space for like 264 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:47,480 art. So where there is there, 265 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,360 especially in like, I believe the character section, there's a 266 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,240 lot of. It's not as like packed in 267 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,800 wordy, you know? Yeah, absolutely. 268 00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:02,160 And it I need AI forgot that I moved this for a different 269 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:10,000 stream yesterday. I liked I liked the we'll get 270 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,560 into the layouts of the whole way through I think it's it's 271 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:14,280 really nice. One of the things you just said 272 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,440 it's none of the books got cramped at all. 273 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,400 There's some we'll get into like I think some of the stuff might 274 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,840 be should be in a little bit different of an order but I 275 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:28,000 really like that this is a a a full game in that it's got rules 276 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:29,880 but it also has a world. It has beast theory. 277 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,160 It has tables that does everything and I felt like none 278 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,320 of it felt unnecessary. Like when I got to the tables I 279 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,840 thought they were really cool, really good, and I love all the 280 00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:40,000 stuff in the back. So it felt I didn't feel like, 281 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,920 even though I felt like this is a good hundred plus pages for a 282 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,720 game that you could do. I should agree. 283 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,360 So we've got part one is the Shimmer, which we'll go over. 284 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,440 Part 2 is how to play the game. Part three is character 285 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:52,480 creation. Part 4 is Creature Features, 286 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,680 which is mostly the BC area. Part 5 is Tunnel Master, which 287 00:15:55,680 --> 00:16:02,000 is adventures and and GM stuff. And then Part 6, the Shimmer 288 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:07,680 Encyclopedia is basically tables of stuff, all sorts of stuff for 289 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,280 all all sorts of reasons, which is really great. 290 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:11,760 It's like it's like 25 pages of that which is good. 291 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:17,040 Open to another page. Another couple pages of the the 292 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,640 Shimmer art, the the underground bug city stuff again, purples, 293 00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,280 pinks, Blues, halftones. Just gorgeous all the way 294 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:26,200 through. Absolutely stunning. 295 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,120 I I love the art style. I do like the style. 296 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:33,880 I like the I don't want to say cartoony is like a negative, but 297 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:38,200 the more like cartoon esque comic booky art going on. 298 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,600 I'm like, oh, I've I really do enjoy. 299 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,080 I like the city looks. Little nouns, dots on them. 300 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,600 Yeah, I really like it because it's not, it is cartoonish, but 301 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,840 it's not cartoony and that like it doesn't have like cartoony 302 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,600 proportions necessarily and stuff like that, you know, it's. 303 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,480 Interesting, because I feel like I love cartoons. 304 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:57,920 I love animated series. Right? 305 00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,400 And but I think for so long people describe something as 306 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:05,079 cartoony as like a negative that like, I don't ever mean it like 307 00:17:05,079 --> 00:17:07,240 that. I mean, like like is reminiscent 308 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,760 of good animated shows that I watched as a kid, you know? 309 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,880 I completely agree. Yeah, yeah. 310 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,240 So chapter, chapter one, the shimmer. 311 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:23,319 The shimmer is the setting basically. 312 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,560 And also A Bug's guide to this shimmer. 313 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,480 This whole thing is this book turned tricka. 314 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,360 This has a lot specifically about the shimmer as a setting 315 00:17:35,360 --> 00:17:37,400 too, and it sounds like the tui will have shimmer too. 316 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,560 But basically, what is the shimmer? 317 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:44,880 The shimmer is the deep underground caves full of weird 318 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,320 creatures and bugs and molds and bunguses and stuff. 319 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:50,280 It's the it's the world you live in, and that world is the 320 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:55,480 underground, full of just bugs and and mushrooms and stuff. 321 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:56,880 That's it. That's the shimmer. 322 00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,760 That's the whole shimmer. Honestly, that sounds amazing. 323 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,200 Yeah, I I want to be. Surrounded by bugs and 324 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,040 mushrooms. If I could be a bug as well, 325 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,840 great 10/10. Yeah, I mean, that's fine. 326 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:11,240 I'm not. I don't. 327 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,320 I'm not scared of bugs, but I don't. 328 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,080 I don't really like them in my house, I thought. 329 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:21,360 I will say. That that I I will always leave 330 00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:25,400 the spiders in my house, though not not like not like the the 331 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,680 ones that will kill me, but the ones that won't kill me. 332 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,120 Like if I have a spider up in the corner of my ceiling. 333 00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,480 I fucking love that shit. They eat up so many fucking 334 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,760 bugs. Like we used to have a a plant 335 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,600 by our window and there was like a gnat problem with it. 336 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:43,000 And then a spider moved in laying the corner right by it 337 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,600 and that problem disappeared. Love, love A good spider. 338 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:55,240 Arachnids greater than bugs. So that's that's about it It's 339 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:59,120 it's that's that's the whole setting in the lore of what it 340 00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:06,920 is. Basically the the creatures that 341 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,560 you're going to play in it are Roans. 342 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,400 The heroes of the game, if you call it such, are the Roan. 343 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,720 They're a part human, part cockroach, a little bit alien, 344 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:20,080 weird looking creature. There's an explanation later and 345 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,080 a little subpart of like where the cockroach and percent and 346 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,920 everything came from. I like it, but basically that's 347 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:28,160 that's it. And that's the whole thing. 348 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,160 The. World's strangest threesome. 349 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,800 It was an alien, a human and a cockroach. 350 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:34,760 And then there's you. Now. 351 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,720 And now? You're here. 352 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:42,240 Yeah, in polite society, Rone is divided into 3 distinct day 353 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,000 cycles, and that's partially because. 354 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,480 Well, that's not partially. It is because rowing are they 355 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,360 like eggs. They used to be part of a 356 00:19:51,360 --> 00:19:55,560 distinct hive mind, but that hive mind over time, once the 357 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,040 queen kind of started getting older and losing power, they 358 00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:04,960 became their own consciousness. Each creature, each Rowan, but 359 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:10,160 each body contains 3 consciousness, consciousnesses, 360 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:14,840 you know and at any point what any of those can come to the 361 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:22,000 fore. And and yeah, relatives have 362 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,360 come up with a plan to get rid of that pesky die all the time 363 00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:28,280 problem, and that is by allowing the brain to take over the body. 364 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,440 So like, you can literally have a dead consciousness inside the 365 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,960 body and the body's still going right. 366 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,720 That's fine. We'll we'll get to why I don't 367 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:43,200 like that mechanically shortly. Story wise, it's cool. 368 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,600 Whatever. And then uh and then there's 369 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:48,920 more story. There's this is like a three, 370 00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,440 four page story of is quite what I just said. 371 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,080 I'm fine with it. I I like for for a game that we 372 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,000 said is everything that you need. 373 00:20:58,360 --> 00:21:00,320 I'm totally fine with this narrative in the beginning. 374 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,560 The writing is fine all the way through. 375 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,600 I think it has this quirky like it tries to be quirky with 376 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,040 little like jokes and nods. Like, I feel like it's like I 377 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,240 wouldn't like a British person to be reading it at the 378 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:14,480 beginning because that's like that implies quirky. 379 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:18,280 You know when we when we watch movies, because things have to 380 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,560 be like pitch and hold into specific things, the the quirky 381 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,200 running all the way through. That's racist. 382 00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:28,040 I think so. Not racist, but the the 383 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,280 quirkiness for the most part is fine all the way through. 384 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,920 There's a couple times where I'm like, OK, I mean, I get it, I I 385 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,880 get it like, but for the most part, I think it fits with the 386 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:41,560 setting, if it's with the vibes and we're still going with the 387 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,560 story, but great, great. Pieces, yeah. 388 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,840 Yeah, I love this weird cockroach thing with the sword. 389 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:51,120 The one with the cloak and the sword. 390 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:53,200 Love that piece, you know? Such a good one. 391 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:57,320 It's such a good one. And let me get to how to play 392 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,320 the game Chapter 2. We're actually gonna get into 393 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,320 the setting of the game. So again, basically you're bug 394 00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:08,000 creatures in the underground and each of you contains 3 395 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,960 consciousness in a bug society where you fight other bugs and 396 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,400 and there's mushrooms and stuff. That's, that's the premise. 397 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,000 But I will say if you do get this book, read those first 5 398 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,080 pages, I do actually really enjoy the setting of The Shimmer 399 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:22,920 and I think that they did a lot of good writing for it. 400 00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,000 We're just not going to sit here and read it on the show. 401 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,480 I'm also the type of person like I when I open the book, I want a 402 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,360 short blurb to begin with, and then I want a section later on 403 00:22:31,360 --> 00:22:33,680 where it's deeper because I kind of want to get the ball rolling 404 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,840 on, like getting into the game personally, but that's just 405 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,280 personal. Yeah. 406 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,680 I mean, yeah, that like like a one paragraph kind of thing and 407 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:43,320 then a little let you. Yeah, that would be that. 408 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:48,040 That would be nice. Did was that, did they actually 409 00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:49,680 have that? No, I guess they didn't really 410 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,120 have that on page one. They just kind of rolled right 411 00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:54,200 into the story of it, huh. I'm fine. 412 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,680 I'm fine either way. I think again like I didn't mind 413 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:57,920 this one. I think the art all the way 414 00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,720 through really helps too. That is one thing I will say 415 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,080 about this, this book. It does not hurt for art at all, 416 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,040 like when we look at the layout. And I think one of the 417 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,720 interesting things that they do a lot is the the numbers in the 418 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,840 corner. Yeah, absolutely have page end 419 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,960 numbers, yeah. They all have that, and there's 420 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,840 also this part at the top I'm pointing where the people 421 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:23,120 watching can see the bar across the top of every page is fine. 422 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,760 It doesn't bother me. It's it's a nice little, takes 423 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,640 up space at the top. It lets you put the like, the, 424 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,640 the, you know what, what's going on. 425 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,360 This one says skills and tests in the top. 426 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,360 So like it it's got a direction at the top. 427 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,120 When I first started looking through I was like, why do we 428 00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:45,880 need this on every page? And it doesn't. 429 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:47,960 But it didn't bother me. I think it's a nice cool little 430 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,840 piece of art. It looks like a broken, like 431 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,240 broken concrete, like broken stone kind of a little bit. 432 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:54,720 It doesn't bother me. I like it. 433 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,880 I I kind of like and I feel like older games did this, and I feel 434 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,080 like maybe not as many new ones in my memory do, but at the top 435 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,840 of every page it tells you what section it is. 436 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,200 And like, I do like that. I I like people to open a book 437 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,000 and be like, oh OK, I'm in this section and internally I 438 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,400 probably read this a few times, so I know what's next. 439 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:16,160 Or whatever. I can believe they're great, and 440 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,880 I think some older RBG books also always had that like a like 441 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,000 a solid bar across the top too. I remember older, like D&D books 442 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,280 would have that. So it doesn't bother me at all. 443 00:24:26,360 --> 00:24:31,160 I like it actually, and it's an it's a nice way to have a little 444 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,360 bit of art and a pop of color on every page as well, which is 445 00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:36,200 nice. So playing three die six as a 446 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:43,240 standard RPG, I will say a lot of words for explanations of 447 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,760 things. A lot of words, which is fine, 448 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,000 yeah, it's just fine. I do. 449 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,760 When they when they get to actually having it written out, 450 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,000 I do think they explain it well. But we'll get to this. 451 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,600 So to embrace the chaos of the Shimmer, they suggest three 452 00:24:57,600 --> 00:24:59,520 players. At least three players. 453 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:03,000 One is the Tunnel Master, the TM which would be your your Dungeon 454 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,640 Master, your regular, your the person that runs the game and at 455 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,440 least two players. But don't forget, rules is 456 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,400 written. Each player actually controls 457 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:17,520 like three players because as we said, each run, which is what 458 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,400 you are, has three consciousnesses in it. 459 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,680 So mechanically, what do you think that means? 460 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,960 There's three of you we'll get to, again, why I don't like 461 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,520 that. So each player will need 36 462 00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,320 sided dice, 3D6 a bunch of other stuff and etcetera, etcetera. 463 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,160 I'm going to suggest you discuss this play style with the game 464 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,640 host before showing up with a sack full of moldering wood and 465 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,480 fungi. It says that because it says you 466 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:44,360 can always just write your character sheet into a a piece 467 00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:46,360 of bark with mushrooms and stuff. 468 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,120 Absolutely. Absolutely could. 469 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,120 Yeah, Cute. The game is designed to be 470 00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:54,280 theater of the mind. One thing I did really like 471 00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,800 about the Bug Sky, the Shimmer book. 472 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:04,400 The Troika version is there's a bunch of pages of just tunnel 473 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:08,160 art in that, which I really like, which is dope. 474 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,200 I have the PDF up. We'll probably fly through that 475 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:14,680 in a little bit. Blah blah blah blah blah. 476 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,160 Bunch of pages on like play a game, piece of art. 477 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,280 Here. The rules are laid out because 478 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:21,920 they're rules. OK, skills and tests. 479 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,240 So the core of three Dye 6 and what is it? 480 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,400 It's just as befitting the name. A lot of the game is 481 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,560 role-playing, blah blah blah blah blah. 482 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,400 More words. There are two types of tests and 483 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,920 three Dye 6 standard tests. Like if you can run fast enough 484 00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:37,880 to reach the end of a bridge, etcetera, etcetera. 485 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,440 This is a skill test and each players can have six skills. 486 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,760 To perform a skill test you simply roll all three of your 487 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,160 six sided dice, add them together, and then add or 488 00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,840 subtract into modifiers that apply to that skill. 489 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,800 This is a 3D6 roll. For standard tests like this, 490 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,000 there will be a goal. The higher the goal, the harder 491 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,480 the challenge. And average difficulty is 9 to 492 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,480 12. A hard goal is typically 13 and 493 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:08,160 up. Now if you average 3D6 roll it 494 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:14,320 is 10.5 it is 10 and 11 are equals 10.5 S 9 to 12 makes 495 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:20,040 perfect sense is 10 and 11/9 to 12 that is the a normal roll 13 496 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,960 up is difficult. So on a standard skill test a 497 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:29,000 3D6 test 3D6 and and on average get a nine to a 12. 498 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,200 Easy peasy, right? Yeah, absolutely. 499 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,200 Math checks out. We love when the math checks 500 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:34,680 out. Yeah, math is good. 501 00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,160 Sometimes you're playing blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah 502 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,040 blah blah blah. In addition to three D6, there 503 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,240 are three die six roles which we'll get into shortly. 504 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,120 That's most for combat. There is a whole page here of 505 00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:50,640 notations. I do like this page, and I will. 506 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,080 No. OK, so you got 3D sixes. 507 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:56,280 Three die six. Oh no, wait, wait, Nope, no. 508 00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:02,480 In line hyperlinks and no bookmarks, no. 509 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,520 Bookmarks and no inline hyperlinks. 510 00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:12,120 Come on, Clanahan, get on it 3D6. 511 00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:13,720 You roll 3 sixes. Three die. 512 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:15,160 Six. We'll get to that on page 10. 513 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,880 Two D6, which means you roll 2 sixes. 1D6. 514 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,240 You roll 11D3. Guess what? 515 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,640 You roll 1D6 and they just split it up and then you get D66 and 516 00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,480 D6666. For those who don't know what 517 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,560 that means is you don't roll, there's no D66. 518 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:34,080 I mean there could be you roll 2D sixes, but you put them 519 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,400 together like percentile dice. SO2D6. 520 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,600 If you roll A2 and A4, it's a 24. 521 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,280 Same thing with 666. If you roll A2O four and an 8, 522 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,280 it's 248. Well, you can't roll an 8. 523 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,600 You know what I mean? That's it. 524 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,320 It's so funny. I don't have my coffee yet, so 525 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,280 that one totally slid by me. And then the moment you start 526 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:55,720 six, I was like, wait, what? Yeah. 527 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:58,320 We're good. We're doing great. 528 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,240 All right, so six skills. I do like this. 529 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,320 This is, I always think that six skills is too many. 530 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:10,240 But in a game called three Die, Six, where every role is D6, is, 531 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,360 how could you not have six skills? 532 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,160 I mean, you just have to. You got six of them. 533 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:20,320 You got Accuracy, intelligence, Charm, Durability, power, and 534 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:24,840 speed. Accuracy is agility and how 535 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,360 precise you are and range weapons, right? 536 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,720 Intelligence, Intelligence, Charm is charm. 537 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,080 Durability is your resistance to damage, both in regards to 538 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,280 attacks and falls on poisons and stuff. 539 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:40,240 Power is physical strength, but it's also your melee. 540 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:46,760 And then speed is different than accuracy, even though accuracy 541 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,320 is agility. Speed is how fast is literally 542 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:55,000 just how fast you are. I mean but also for travel like 543 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,760 climbing and and stuff like that. 544 00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:03,320 So it it's it's it's a it's a mix because speed it says is for 545 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:09,520 attacks, but accuracy is for ranged weapons. 546 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,800 We'll get we'll get into it. But those are your 6 stats. 547 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,640 Accuracy, Intelligence, Charm, Durability, Power and Speed. 548 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,040 And then we come to the combat three die six test. 549 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,200 And I love the art on this page too. 550 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,480 It's just like a roan hand sticking down from like the 551 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:27,360 wrist down, like a three finger hand holding, like a broken 552 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,880 sword, like mushrooms growing on it and like gunk falling off of 553 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,080 it. It's dope. 554 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:38,280 That is a great piece. OK, so the three dye 6 combat 555 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:42,440 test, there's even a picture if you go to the next page of a 556 00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,560 blue dye, a pink dye and a silver dye, I think they call 557 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:47,600 it. And those are the three dye that 558 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,920 you should have for the game basically. 559 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,600 So. Is it is funny to see and I have 560 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,600 the I take no issue with this but we just almost never see 561 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,440 like just a real world picture like it said in the book you 562 00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:01,040 know I'm like Oh yeah cool cool cool, cool. 563 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:03,240 I mean, it's cool, it's good. The visual representation we're 564 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,600 about to talk about so. Yeah that also when I first 565 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,800 thought I was like those are real that's those are that's a 566 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,160 real dice. They definitely took a picture 567 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,600 of like real dice with like little plastic bugs around them 568 00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:17,480 and stuff and like yeah it's yeah it's interesting so combat 569 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,720 in three die, six test, so we already talked about 3D6 but a 570 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:25,720 three die six is an interesting role and I I do enjoy the core 571 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,800 mechanic of this. I think it's extremely clever. 572 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:32,840 I really do like that. So for three die six tests, you 573 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:35,840 roll all three dice, but they each mean something different. 574 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:41,920 So it is all rolls are player facing. 575 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,640 So much like Merck Borg, you will roll for attack and you 576 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:48,000 roll for defense. The tunnel master of the GM 577 00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:52,240 never rolls against you, so and you'll always roll all three 578 00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,000 dice, even though sometimes it won't matter. 579 00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,560 So when you roll three die six, you're rolling to strike your 580 00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,600 opponent and defend against their attack against you. 581 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,360 And before rolling you assign one die to be your pink or 582 00:32:03,360 --> 00:32:06,800 offense die, one die to be your blue or defense die, and one die 583 00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:10,280 to be your silver or effect die. I don't like the term effect. 584 00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,400 I'll explain why in a second. I don't know how you feel about 585 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:21,080 it. So this is a an interesting kind 586 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,000 of notation that they put in the book here that I did not like 587 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,680 it. First I'll say that. 588 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:35,080 And then once I actually went to the example play we'll look at 589 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,520 later and actually like looked at a sheet and looked at the bad 590 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:40,120 guy sheet and actually did it out. 591 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,680 It's much more intuitive once you've done it once that it's 592 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,120 it. It didn't bother me, but like 593 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,600 trying to picture in my head without doing it on paper, it 594 00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:50,240 bothered me a little bit so. Basically because I did have a 595 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,960 hard time like picturing this in my head. 596 00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,600 Yeah, and I didn't like that the bad guys and the good guys all 597 00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:02,000 have the same things. But again, it made a ton of 598 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,520 sense once you actually, like, looked at it and did it once. 599 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:06,800 Then I was like, oh OK, I totally make sense and I don't 600 00:33:06,800 --> 00:33:07,920 know how I would do it differently. 601 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,760 I also don't mind, especially in something like this where it's 602 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,120 not like overly complicated as in like what a character she 603 00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,840 looks like. I really don't mind, and I do 604 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:18,240 actually. Kind of like when enemies work 605 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,680 on a same or similar system as the players. 606 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,640 I feel like it makes a lot easier to hack and also for 607 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:28,000 characters to kind of understand and if they want to like steal 608 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,480 stuff from an enemy conceptually. 609 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:32,120 Point being, I did like that part. 610 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,600 Yeah, I I agree. So what? 611 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:35,720 What? What the fuck are we talking 612 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,160 about? So basically the the page here, 613 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,680 it has a pink square, a pink circle, a Blue Square and a blue 614 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:43,920 circle. What the fuck does that mean? 615 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:49,200 So and then the notation next to it is AP in a bracket and that's 616 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,880 by the pink square and then a pink in parentheses which is by 617 00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,760 the pink circle. So brackets are square and 618 00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,960 circles are parentheses. And the same thing for blue. 619 00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:02,000 There's AB in brackets and AB in circles. 620 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:08,239 So the BS the the P square represents your two hit offense 621 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,560 modifier. This number affects your die 622 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,800 roll when it comes to your character hitting an opponent 623 00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,960 and then the P bracket circle represents offensive damage 624 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:18,560 modifier. This number affects the amount 625 00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:23,159 of damage you do. So when you roll your you roll 626 00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:27,040 your pink dye right and then you look at your to hit modifier 627 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,280 which will add to that number to hit and then the damage you do 628 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,639 is the number in the circle. So Square modifies your hit, 629 00:34:35,639 --> 00:34:38,800 Circle does the damage, Square takes a circle. 630 00:34:39,040 --> 00:34:44,480 You know Blue represents your two block defense modifier. 631 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,520 This number affects your die roll when it comes to your 632 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,239 character defending and attacking against enemy. 633 00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,440 That means when you roll your blue defense die, this number 634 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:56,080 will adjust that number to block the enemy's attack, and then the 635 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,800 blue circle represents your defense damage modifier. 636 00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:01,800 This number affects the amount of damage a character takes at 637 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:05,040 the enemy's attack is successful, so if it does get 638 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:08,840 past and hits you, that number will reduce the damage. 639 00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:12,640 So if it hits you for three and their defense, the blue circle 640 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,320 is one, you only take two. So that is what all these mean. 641 00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:20,120 Pink is offense, blue is defense, and you have to hit and 642 00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,600 block and to block modifiers, and then you have offensive 643 00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:28,200 defensive damage either doing more or how much you receive. 644 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,480 So that is a clever way. To organize it, you know, like, 645 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:36,120 and I think maybe upon hearing you say it out loud versus me 646 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:40,680 obviously reading it to myself, it already feels a little less 647 00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:44,120 clunky than when I read it to myself in the description, you 648 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,040 know, maybe just hearing it out loud from somebody else. 649 00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,960 But yeah, it makes sense, you know. 650 00:35:51,240 --> 00:35:57,280 Yeah, it totally makes sense. So we'll come to how those 651 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,480 numbers come around later. And then the effect die will 652 00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:03,320 come up a little bit too because again you roll three die 6, the 653 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,160 effect dye comes into effect, but those are the your blue and 654 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:09,760 pink dyes. So and then there's a page here 655 00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:14,160 for creature combat stats. So the enemy has a set of pink 656 00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,360 and blue stats, but they mean something slightly different. 657 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,200 So the pink for them, the pink squares there to hit stat, this 658 00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:26,240 is the number you need to hit or roll higher than in an attack to 659 00:36:26,240 --> 00:36:29,600 successfully hit the enemy. So on when you look at an enemy 660 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:33,760 sheet, the yellow number, basically you can look at their 661 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,880 AC. To hit like that is your to hit 662 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,840 modifier to hit them right? So if it's a four, you have to 663 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,680 roll at least a four with modifiers and then you hit them 664 00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,920 there. The bad guy circle is how many 665 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,320 hit points the enemy has, so that's directly HP. 666 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:52,920 And then the bad guy Blue Square represents the enemy's ability 667 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:56,120 to hit you. You must roll this number or 668 00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:00,200 higher to defend against the attack and then the blue is a 669 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,520 damage that they do if they hit you. 670 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:06,640 So there is a cool like. The rest of the page is a nice 671 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:10,200 graphic that literally has like every single one written out 672 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,800 with an explanation marked to it, including the difference for 673 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,600 like size, initiative and things like that. 674 00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:18,560 So this is a really nice way. So it's fungoids. 675 00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,080 It literally says this indicates that you need to roll A3 or 676 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:25,320 better because it's a 3 + a three plus A2 and A2. 677 00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,800 It does two points of damage, et cetera, et cetera. 678 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:30,800 It's a really nice graphic. It really explains it really 679 00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:31,800 well. I like this a lot. 680 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:34,920 This is what more more games should have. 681 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,000 Things like this where it literally gives you a STAB lock 682 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:40,680 and then like lines to it with boxes explaining it. 683 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:42,520 Yeah, absolutely. They broke this down really 684 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:44,080 well. And immediately I'm like, yeah, 685 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:45,560 this is good. I love this is like up there 686 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,040 with flow charts, you know, we see like it's in flow charts, 687 00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,200 something your game should have. Stuff like this, like little 688 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:52,920 tools, like graphic tools built in to make understanding the 689 00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,480 process easier. I do really like how the and 690 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,840 this is going to be an obvious thing but I'm the guy who says 691 00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:03,320 the obvious things I think. But I do like how the combat, 692 00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:06,480 the enemy stats and your stats like directly correlate like 693 00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,560 linearly to each other to where you can just go back and forth 694 00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,800 as you go. Like, yeah, good, very clean. 695 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,760 You know, I I think it really does address some of the issue 696 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,160 that like, I don't know if you have, but sometimes I have where 697 00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,840 I have a bunch of numbers written down or data for enemies 698 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,720 and I'm like, not that I don't understand that I wrote it down 699 00:38:25,720 --> 00:38:28,600 myself or whatever, but it's just like I have to look for 700 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:30,760 stuff on a page. This makes it much quicker. 701 00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:35,120 Yeah, I I completely agree. And again like when when I went 702 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,520 through and actually played out the example with like with 703 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,520 myself, it made it make so much sense like you said, like color 704 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,080 coding it. At first I was like St. 705 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,440 Wuthering Heights, not anyone's name needs to be the same. 706 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,680 But then I was like Oh no, I do like that the the colors are 707 00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:56,440 different. I'm just looking at my notes 708 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,160 real quick to make sure that I'm not passing anything. 709 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,120 Don't worry, we're on page 13 right now, so we're not there 710 00:39:02,240 --> 00:39:04,440 yet. I'm watching so combat and 711 00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,720 damage. Your goal in three day six test 712 00:39:06,720 --> 00:39:08,840 is to match or roll higher. I already talked about that. 713 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,080 If you mentioned your opponent, you do one point of damage to 714 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:13,760 them and let you have something that adds damage. 715 00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:19,400 So base if you hit, you always add at least one damage and then 716 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:24,080 the final die, The silver effect die, tells the tunnel master how 717 00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,160 the enemy responds or what happens next. 718 00:39:26,720 --> 00:39:29,280 Creatures and Shimmer have a limited life, and as they are 719 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,000 injured that damage effects their ability to go on fighting 720 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:35,040 or escape. Each enemy in the game has a 721 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:39,720 specific quantity of actions, and each time you hit them they 722 00:39:39,720 --> 00:39:43,360 lose one of those actions and they run out of actions. 723 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,800 They're dead. Some may have a last gasp 724 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,880 effect, We'll get to that. Likewise, Damaged Into Your Own 725 00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:50,720 builds up Prevents and performing that their peak 726 00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:54,480 ability each time you are hit, you must choose a skill of that 727 00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:59,480 specific mindset to damage. Damage skills still roll 3D6 for 728 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,520 skill test, but they must disregard the highest die 729 00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,320 rolled. They also lose any bonuses. 730 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:07,920 More vitally, once all six are damaged, that particular mindset 731 00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:13,000 is dead. OK, so God damn, that is the one 732 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,680 of the most harshest. Disadvantages I've ever fucking 733 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:23,040 seen Like so. I really like the idea of you or 734 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,000 the enemy taking damage and getting worse for it. 735 00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:28,560 I think it's like we've pointed out, like tunnel goon to some 736 00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:29,880 very similar right, very enemies. 737 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:31,720 Their HP is their difficult to score. 738 00:40:31,720 --> 00:40:33,720 It's easier to hit them as they get more hurt. 739 00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,000 Which like from a real world logic standpoint, I'm like, 740 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,880 yeah, of course the harder you get hit in a fight. 741 00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,480 Fights are short in real life, the harder you can hit, the more 742 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,960 you can hit, the worse you are at fighting, and I like that. 743 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:47,880 There is a mechanic that represents that. 744 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,680 I do like it, but here's the thing. 745 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:53,840 So it's not just fighting. It's not just that you're worst 746 00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,880 at fighting. This is this is specifically 747 00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:58,400 says for Skill Test. So this isn't even like a Pretty 748 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:04,480 Die six roll, but it's literally you roll 3D6 and get rid of the 749 00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,120 highest. And it's not that you're 750 00:41:08,120 --> 00:41:12,480 rolling, it's not that you're rolling A2D6 roll. 751 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,760 So you roll 3D6 and get rid of the highest. 752 00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:20,120 For disadvantage, you you are normally rolling three dice, so 753 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,680 you're literally removing an entire dice in your pole. 754 00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:26,920 And not only is it one of the three that you need total, it's 755 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:30,640 the highest one. That's crazy to me, because how 756 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,680 I would do disadvantage in 2D6 is I would roll 3D6 and you get 757 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:35,360 rid of the highest. So you have the two lowest. 758 00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,680 This is 3D6. You get rid of the highest, but 759 00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:40,800 you still have you're still trying to reach a number that is 760 00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:44,640 best reached with three dice. To me, that's crazy. 761 00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:45,600 It's. Blue. 762 00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,520 But The thing is not only that, it's it's every fucking anytime 763 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:52,440 you get so you don't have HP in this game, right? 764 00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:58,520 Every time you get hit at all in combat, you take that many hits 765 00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:03,680 to skills. Oh yeah, I guess I'm I was more 766 00:42:03,680 --> 00:42:05,480 talking about the enemies, because the enemies only really 767 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,840 lose like the amount of actions they can do. 768 00:42:08,240 --> 00:42:11,360 Like the love for the enemies? Yeah, yes, I yeah, we're going 769 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,000 to get into the enemies in just a second. 770 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:19,880 But for regular Roans, for your character, if you get hit, you 771 00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:21,920 have to pick a mindset to damage. 772 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,760 So if you take 3 damage, you have to pick three stats that 773 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,400 are now damaged. That's so bad and. 774 00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:34,880 Everyone is 3D6 drop the highest try still trying to hit like 775 00:42:34,880 --> 00:42:38,000 9:00 to 12:00. That's fucking brutal. 776 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,280 Like, I that's brutal to me. I I'm, I'm OK with that. 777 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:44,720 If maybe drop the lowest so that you're only using two dice, 778 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:46,560 that's just a brutal disadvantage. 779 00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:48,960 I don't know. I wrote I wrote something about 780 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,320 that and it's and then critical hits. 781 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,880 So on occasion you come across an opponent or obstacle that you 782 00:42:54,880 --> 00:42:57,600 can't possibly hit or defend. Either they're to hit stat is 783 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,080 too high, or maybe they're just too good. 784 00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:03,560 Either way, there's always hope. At any time you roll all three 785 00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:08,240 sixes, it's a critical hit, so that's the only way you can 786 00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:09,920 create in this is to roll 3 sixes. 787 00:43:10,400 --> 00:43:11,960 I was. That's the one that stops me, 788 00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,480 really. I'm like that's so like 789 00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,320 statistically fucking difficult to do. 790 00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,520 Like, you know, like I have a dice pool game that I've been 791 00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:22,360 working on and you know, it's five or six to hit in that game 792 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:28,080 and sometimes you're rolling like, you know, five die or five 793 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,480 or six and it's like do three sixes, I think. 794 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:34,800 I mean, we hardly get 3 fives and sixes, you know? 795 00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:38,280 Bro, you know what's funny? We did Coriolis the other day on 796 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,240 the show. Oh yeah, OK first of all, 797 00:43:40,240 --> 00:43:43,800 Coriolis the Great Dark. I I I'm a huge fan. 798 00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:45,360 I can't wait for that to drop completely. 799 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:48,600 Great rule set. Better than dragon pain. 800 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:56,160 Oh yeah. I was rolling 14 D sixes and you 801 00:43:56,160 --> 00:44:01,240 only need one D6 to succeed and I was failing or maybe getting 802 00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:05,720 one and my my luck might have just been terrible. 803 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:11,200 But it's hard to get sixes. I mean, you literally have a one 804 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,840 in six chance for one of them, but the numbers just stack. 805 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,520 It's crazy. So anyway to to get a crit 806 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:21,440 success, you get 3 sixes and you hit no matter what and do double 807 00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:26,400 damage. Yeah, I have a I'm sorry I 808 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:30,160 pulled up the, you know I have a table of dice pull probability 809 00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:37,040 and I was like for just A5 or A6 to get like three hits in this 810 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:41,800 one which is A5 or A6. If you're rolling 7 dice you 811 00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:45,440 have a 42% chance. But that's they do A5 or A6. 812 00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:48,560 You have to cut that down even more because it's only. 813 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:51,360 Yeah, that seems actually brutal like. 814 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,920 Yeah, the odds of 3D of a rolling three of anything is is 815 00:44:55,920 --> 00:44:59,520 is crazy. Yeah, and then critical fail is 816 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,440 all ones same thing. You fail, you miss everything. 817 00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:05,840 The enemy hits you, double damage to you, everything sucks. 818 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:10,440 You're that's just rough. There may be times the game when 819 00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:12,640 part of 3 by 6 roll will have no effect. 820 00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,120 Like when an enemy is caught by surprise and cannot defend. 821 00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:17,720 And those circumstances. You still roll all three just in 822 00:45:17,720 --> 00:45:21,200 case you create or fail. I like that it's in a Big Blue 823 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:22,680 box. This is important. 824 00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:23,880 It's an important piece of information. 825 00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:26,360 Put in a box and put a burden on it. 826 00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:32,960 You know, more combat rules, regular weapons and unarmed 827 00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:34,920 combat. Most weapons in three days 6 828 00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:37,360 impart no additional bonus to combat. 829 00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,160 They simply mean you are armed and capable of a normal attack. 830 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,440 However, some do have some bonus effects, which is cool. 831 00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:44,680 I love that. I love that. 832 00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:46,040 Like you just do one damage no matter what. 833 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:48,560 Who cares what you're carrying? But sometimes special weapons 834 00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:49,920 will do special stuff. That's it. 835 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,800 If you are broken, If you have broken your weapon or unarmed 836 00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:56,640 when entering combat, all of your attacks are -1. 837 00:45:57,800 --> 00:46:00,840 If you do have a weapon on your possession and is assumed, you 838 00:46:00,840 --> 00:46:03,680 can draw it for battle unless your hands are full, blah blah 839 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,120 blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. 840 00:46:05,240 --> 00:46:07,840 It's -1 because sometimes your damage modifier is a little bit. 841 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:12,880 Different -1 P with a square bracket around it. 842 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,000 Yeah, so it reduces your square bracket. 843 00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,800 It reduces your to hit by 1, not like it's. 844 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,800 A good notation, I really, I really don't mind the like the 845 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,640 notation like that in this, especially because I, you know, 846 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:29,280 like I just said before stream. I'm reading classic traveler 847 00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:33,880 right now and it uses like a hexadecimal notation for which 848 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,240 is totally unnecessary by the way. 849 00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:37,800 But this, I'm like this is fine, you know? 850 00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:40,960 Yeah, yeah, I again, it bothered me for a little bit. 851 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,920 And then once it made sense, I was like, oh, I actually really 852 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,920 do like this a lot. Yeah. 853 00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,680 And it's because the brackets and the parentheses really are 854 00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:55,320 such a simple, clean way to do the square and circle. 855 00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:56,640 Like it just fucking makes sense. 856 00:46:57,720 --> 00:47:00,640 I'm fixing to come across the thing that I, I, I talked about 857 00:47:00,720 --> 00:47:03,240 in my notes a little bit. Attacks. 858 00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,400 Yeah, unlike regular combat race attacks, whether with bow and 859 00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:10,200 arrow, sling or throwing weapon, is decided with your accuracy 860 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,480 skill. It's an accuracy skill test. 861 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,640 The target must at least be 1 area away from the character 862 00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,200 because it does use zone combat. We'll get into that, and I love 863 00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:21,080 that. I love zones. 864 00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:24,480 The team will determine the test goal depending on terrain and 865 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,200 the situation. Unless your character weapon has 866 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,720 a modifier range weapons also do one point of damage. 867 00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:31,400 However, the enemy's armor is taken into consideration with 868 00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,760 the test goal already, so success is a hit. 869 00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:39,560 OK, so do you see where it says ACC skill TEST and AREA and 870 00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,120 stuff? How it's like weirdly 871 00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:45,400 capitalized but the same height as the other stuff around it? 872 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,000 I fucking hate it. I don't like that at all. 873 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,440 Yeah, just bold. Just do, just do bold. 874 00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:52,640 I don't know what the point of this was. 875 00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:54,120 I. Don't know if you've read the 876 00:47:54,120 --> 00:47:59,200 Will Yos style guy. I love Will Yos, by the way. 877 00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:00,880 Yeah, yeah, totally. Me too. 878 00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,360 Listen to the brain trust. It's actually fucking hilarious. 879 00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,600 But yeah, I know people are people are very shy about 880 00:48:07,600 --> 00:48:10,120 bolding these days, you know, I guess it's 2021. 881 00:48:10,680 --> 00:48:12,280 It's 2021. So what am I saying? 882 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,960 But. Yeah, Bulge of shit. 883 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:16,760 Bulge of shit. Italicize. 884 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,120 Make it all caps the same size. This is the thing that gets me 885 00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:23,640 is the word area. The A is big and then the Rea is 886 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,120 small, but it's all capitals. You know what I mean? 887 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:28,400 It's a different font too, right? 888 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:29,640 It's a completely different font. 889 00:48:29,800 --> 00:48:31,840 Yeah, yeah, it's weird. It's weird. 890 00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,200 And then there's some. I I take like I it's not 891 00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,040 necessarily that I take issue with it being a different font. 892 00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,920 I take issue that it's not slightly bigger, you know what I 893 00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:42,680 mean than the rest of the text around it. 894 00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:46,480 Well, that's that's what I'm saying is that like the A is 895 00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:49,960 bigger than everything else, but then the Rea capitalized is the 896 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,760 same height as all of the lower case letters next to it. 897 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,160 But I think the capital A is the same size as other capital 898 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,040 letters in the same in The other font type. 899 00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:01,840 I'm saying is overall the font type needs to be. 900 00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,840 If it's going to be different and not bolded, it needs to be a 901 00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,000 couple sizes bigger, you know, so it actually seems out. 902 00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:10,760 Yeah, that's something I said in there because there's another 903 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,280 part where I think it's just like or also just like make it a 904 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,600 different color, like if it's going to be something that's 905 00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:17,000 important, like there's. There's. 906 00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:20,000 There's so many times where this does such a good job. 907 00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:23,560 Honestly, I love the layout on this like it's so easily. 908 00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:27,160 I think people are shy about using like big font headers and 909 00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:28,560 stuff. They do a really good job of it 910 00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:30,040 in here with the spacing and everything. 911 00:49:30,240 --> 00:49:31,800 I think the layout on this is fantastic. 912 00:49:31,800 --> 00:49:33,160 I love that it's not double column. 913 00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,840 I think the the fonts that they chose and the colors and 914 00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,760 everything are really fantastic, but. 915 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:41,720 I love a big Heather, bro. I don't know. 916 00:49:41,720 --> 00:49:43,880 I'll I'll take any issue with that you know. 917 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,480 But there's there's just some other spot. 918 00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:48,400 I was trying to look at my notes. 919 00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,360 Where I talk, Where I talk. Oh, it says bowling versus weird 920 00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:54,120 caps. That's what I wrote. 921 00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:58,960 Page numbers are italicized but then not. 922 00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,800 Oh pay. Oh yeah, it it uses P, but then 923 00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,240 the word page too. Anyway, there's just a couple 924 00:50:04,240 --> 00:50:07,200 inconsistencies. That's range attacks. 925 00:50:07,240 --> 00:50:10,760 Anyway, I just. I don't like, I don't like the 926 00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:14,520 way that the emphasis is put on, like surprise and damage and 927 00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,600 area and stuff like that. Just color it, bold it, do 928 00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:19,200 something different. I don't know, it wasn't a fan. 929 00:50:20,080 --> 00:50:23,000 Surprise is surprise. It's just it's exactly what you 930 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:24,600 think, surprises. If you're surprised, you get to 931 00:50:24,600 --> 00:50:25,520 hit and stuff. Whatever. 932 00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,760 Listen, I'm fine. I I Surprise is one of those 933 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,760 rules that sometimes people will try to be too clever with it, be 934 00:50:32,760 --> 00:50:34,960 too, too technical. If you make surprise exactly 935 00:50:34,960 --> 00:50:36,720 what we all think it's going to be, I feel like that's fine 936 00:50:36,720 --> 00:50:37,520 with. That's good. 937 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,480 It's perfect. You get to hit first. 938 00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,680 Yep, Escaping combat. At times the world of shimmers 939 00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,000 too dangerous. Sometimes you want to get away. 940 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,040 I like this. In these circumstances, your 941 00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,600 character rolls a speed skill test against the attacking 942 00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:56,840 creature's initiative number. If you succeed, you are clean 943 00:50:56,840 --> 00:50:59,880 and you're gone. If you fail, you can still 944 00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:04,440 escape, but the creature hits you and automatically does their 945 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,520 damage that to you. I like this, so if you want to 946 00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:10,320 leave, you just get to leave. You're just rolling to see if 947 00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:12,560 you get away clean or if they get to hit you on the way out, 948 00:51:13,080 --> 00:51:14,880 you know a little. A little. 949 00:51:14,880 --> 00:51:17,120 Letting the door hit you, you know. 950 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,680 Yeah, I also like the rolling against the character, the 951 00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:22,880 enemy's initiative. I'm like, oh, it's such a it 952 00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,160 makes so much sense. Are you being able to get away 953 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,600 faster than they're about to act? 954 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:34,320 You know, like, whatever. Yeah, very, very good twist on 955 00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,600 that rule, you know? It's clever. 956 00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,880 I think the system is clever. Like most of the way through. 957 00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,680 I think there's one part that I think is too clever and then 958 00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:46,000 we'll get into, but for the most part I I love, I mean I love me 959 00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,600 a good D6 role. So the three D6 is really great 960 00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,040 and we'll explain what the effect role is because we really 961 00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:53,800 haven't gotten to that at all at this point either. 962 00:51:54,640 --> 00:51:56,920 Initiative in combat rounds, which is which is interesting. 963 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:00,480 Any company that has started with a neither side having 964 00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,840 surprise rounds happen. Initiative order. 965 00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,800 Each player creature in the game has an initiative number and 966 00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:08,920 whoever has the highest initiative number gets engaged. 967 00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,600 For us, I like that. It's just a flat fucking number 968 00:52:11,720 --> 00:52:13,320 there. No one has to roll anything. 969 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,520 You just ask everyone's number and you and and after the first 970 00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,120 time or two the TM will know what your initiative number is 971 00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,680 anyway and it's fine. I really like that it's a flat 972 00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:23,360 number. No rolling it just lines up the 973 00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:26,720 way that it is in the game. No I wants to put. 974 00:52:26,720 --> 00:52:32,280 I wants to put two tokens, each in a little bag with an end 975 00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:38,400 again. Yeah, talk about too clever for 976 00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:39,000 it. Sound good. 977 00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:41,360 The only thing I don't like about Troika. 978 00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:43,600 Listen, I'm actually. I know. 979 00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,640 I, I I have absolutely talk. Show them that the initiative 980 00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:48,520 stack. I'm sure it's a ton of fun to 981 00:52:48,520 --> 00:52:51,440 do, like a couple times. I just would not do it forever, 982 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,120 you know. That's that's what I've said 983 00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:55,840 over and over again is I think it's conceptually it's 984 00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,320 extraordinarily clever. I think it's, I just think it 985 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,320 would get old so fast. I think it's kitschy. 986 00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,720 It's yeah, what's the word I'm looking for. 987 00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:04,920 It feels gimmicky. Yeah. 988 00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:11,400 Creatures will almost always focus their attention on the 989 00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,120 roam that most recently attacked them. 990 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,960 I love that little explainer where you don't even need to 991 00:53:16,960 --> 00:53:21,360 worry about. Like this is what the monster 992 00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:22,720 would do. It's gonna hit the last thing 993 00:53:22,720 --> 00:53:24,400 they hit it because that makes nothing sense. 994 00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:29,600 Otherwise they attack the closest one makes sense. 995 00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:35,440 I love that. So once all involved in combat 996 00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:38,320 I've had a chance to engage, flee or die, a new round begins 997 00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:41,200 on the second round of combat, creatures will do whatever 998 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:44,480 action they rolled in the previous round on the silver or 999 00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:49,160 effect die again, really taking the impetus off of the tunnel 1000 00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:50,920 master and putting it onto the die roll. 1001 00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:52,280 Which is great. So. 1002 00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,760 Like that. We'll we'll get to what what 1003 00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:57,720 that means again, I guess eventually I. 1004 00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:01,720 Also think stuff like that is very much like anti drama rules 1005 00:54:01,720 --> 00:54:03,880 you know? I mean, like if if it's on the 1006 00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,880 die roll, it's not on the game at Tom Master, right? 1007 00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:10,640 And if the enemy attacks the thing that attacked it last or 1008 00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:12,760 whatever is closest, then that decision's taken off. 1009 00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,160 So there's a lot less because like, not that I think a lot of 1010 00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:16,840 games are adversarial, especially in our space, because 1011 00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,760 I don't think they are, but do you think maybe newer players or 1012 00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:22,680 just players in general will sometimes read actions as maybe 1013 00:54:22,680 --> 00:54:26,280 more malicious than there is malice actually behind it? 1014 00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:27,920 But stuff like this, you're like, you don't have to worry 1015 00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,360 about that at all because it's it's taken out of your hands. 1016 00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:34,240 Yeah, I I completely agree. That's why I love player facing 1017 00:54:34,240 --> 00:54:37,360 roles and and everything. Any game where the GM doesn't 1018 00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:42,160 have to roll dice against players or make decisions 1019 00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:45,800 against players is a preference. Because like you just said it it 1020 00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,960 it leaves it up to fate and leaves it up to dice and and 1021 00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:52,400 lets the players, if they're going to be mad, be mad at fate 1022 00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:53,760 and the dice in themselves, you know? 1023 00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,880 And I really like that. So creature damage in effects. 1024 00:54:56,880 --> 00:54:59,000 As mentioned before, creatures have a certain amount of hit 1025 00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:01,120 points, and each of these head points also gives them a 1026 00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,320 reaction. As they are injured, they lose 1027 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:08,280 actions from top to bottom until they flee from battle or die. 1028 00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,720 The easiest way to track this is to print out the card versions 1029 00:55:11,720 --> 00:55:14,880 of enemies and violently mark out their actions each time you 1030 00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:18,400 damage them. That that's what we're talking 1031 00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:19,960 about. A little bit like the the the 1032 00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:21,680 cute cute little riding every now and then. 1033 00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:25,480 For the most part, it's fine. Oh, there are definitely jokes 1034 00:55:25,480 --> 00:55:27,280 that hit in this. There's definitely points where 1035 00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,720 I was like, I laughed at their like, yeah voice when they were 1036 00:55:30,720 --> 00:55:32,120 arriving. They definitely do hit. 1037 00:55:32,880 --> 00:55:35,440 Yeah, most of them and then some of them are just like OK that 1038 00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:37,360 was that was the. Listen, I'll take. 1039 00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:41,600 I'll take that over the person who tries me too hard and like 1040 00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,920 none of it lands. I completely agree. 1041 00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:45,320 I completely agree. Yeah. 1042 00:55:45,480 --> 00:55:49,800 Again, I have no problem with the way it was written, so 1043 00:55:52,080 --> 00:55:54,880 they're also generic life trackers, blah blah blah. 1044 00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:57,600 You can do multiple points of damage in single attack and this 1045 00:55:57,600 --> 00:56:01,720 does mark off multiple actions, so each role of the 396 has a 1046 00:56:01,720 --> 00:56:04,360 silver effect role attached. Again, I don't like the word 1047 00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,800 effect. This tells you how the creature 1048 00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,960 reacts to the attack. If an effect has been marked off 1049 00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:13,040 due to damage, the reaction is the next one down the line. 1050 00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:15,400 OK, so question for you. All right, let me let me read 1051 00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:18,520 the sentence out loud to you again and I you already know 1052 00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:21,760 what I'm going to say. OK, so each roll the three by 1053 00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:24,440 six has a silver slash effect die roll. 1054 00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,640 So you roll an effect die roll. OK. 1055 00:56:27,160 --> 00:56:30,080 The keyword is effect. Right, this tells you how the 1056 00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:33,520 creature reacts to the attacked. So the keywords react. 1057 00:56:33,720 --> 00:56:35,960 React. If an effect has been marked off 1058 00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:39,160 due to damage, their reaction is the next one down the line. 1059 00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:41,400 So it's a reaction roll. It's a reaction roll. 1060 00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:42,280 Thank you. OK. 1061 00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:44,120 I'm glad that we're completely on the same page. 1062 00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:48,560 Yeah, the moment you're like, this keyword triggers another 1063 00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:52,120 keyword. No that that just triggers the 1064 00:56:52,120 --> 00:56:53,760 keyword that you're ending, right? 1065 00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:56,640 Like call the thing a thing. That's exactly what it is. 1066 00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:58,640 Call the thing. The thing. 1067 00:56:59,240 --> 00:57:01,240 If. If the effect role tells you how 1068 00:57:01,240 --> 00:57:03,240 a creature reacts, then call it a react role. 1069 00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:13,040 If a if a blue, if a blue dye triggers a pink move, just call 1070 00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,120 it a pink move. Like just just call it a pink. 1071 00:57:15,240 --> 00:57:17,280 You know what I mean. Like it's just called the thing. 1072 00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,520 The thing. OK, so basic creature actions 1073 00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:23,120 you can attack, guard, flee, and rage. 1074 00:57:23,400 --> 00:57:26,640 These are descriptions of the basics of the people that that 1075 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:30,120 things can do. So attack is an attack, The 1076 00:57:30,120 --> 00:57:32,040 creature attacks a near throne guard. 1077 00:57:32,040 --> 00:57:33,840 The creature takes a step back and protects itself. 1078 00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:40,800 The creature then attacks, but is -1 P bracket to hit plus 1B 1079 00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:43,080 bracket to defend. This broke my brain for a little 1080 00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:45,640 bit until I remembered that the bad guys are different than the 1081 00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:51,760 good guys and it worked fine. Flee, they can run or rage. 1082 00:57:52,480 --> 00:57:55,920 The creature flies into a violent attack, doing plus 1B 1083 00:57:55,920 --> 00:58:00,880 damage round if they hit, but suffering -1 P to hit adjustment 1084 00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:07,840 as well, which means for guard it's harder to hit them and they 1085 00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:11,960 get a bonus to defense, and on rage they do more damage, but 1086 00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:16,520 it's easier to hit them. That's how that works, OK. 1087 00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:20,440 I know, I think first time through, if you're reading this 1088 00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:22,720 like, I think you're going to be like, oh God, that's a little 1089 00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:25,440 bit that's something to parse out that takes some like 1090 00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:27,280 thought. Like I don't quite understand 1091 00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:29,600 it, but like very quickly I feel like it does make sense. 1092 00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:31,800 You know it does. And you know what we're going to 1093 00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:35,120 I almost. I want to do what I We're going 1094 00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:37,480 to get to a thing and then honestly, we're going to flip to 1095 00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:40,200 two pages and look at it, and then we're going to get back to 1096 00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:42,200 doing it, because then it makes sense and that's why we do this. 1097 00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:45,080 So creature death and last gasp. Some creatures have a last gasp 1098 00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:47,760 that means that when their shit hits the end. 1099 00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:53,480 So this action can be if the creature ever reaches 0 exactly, 1100 00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:55,600 they get to use their last gasp of action. 1101 00:58:55,840 --> 00:59:00,240 Rhones actually get two like the the characters actually get 2 1102 00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:03,000 last gaps. Action they can pick, which 1103 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,400 really means to get 6 because I have 3 consciousness, but bad 1104 00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:07,680 guys only get one. OK, so there's a. 1105 00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:10,440 Totally forget that, by the way. Over and over. 1106 00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:12,520 Forget that it's. It's a 3. 1107 00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:15,200 Consciousness, because it makes no sense and I hate it. 1108 00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:18,240 It's the only thing I generally. Dislike about this game? 1109 00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:21,000 It's like a panda from Jujitsu Kaisen. 1110 00:59:21,080 --> 00:59:24,280 Yes, it is exactly like Panda from Jujitsu Kaisen that you and 1111 00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:25,800 you only ever see that once. And then guess what? 1112 00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:27,280 You never fucking see Panda again. 1113 00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:28,880 Do they really never refer to that again? 1114 00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:31,800 Wow. Bro Jujitsu Kaizen is the 1115 00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:35,320 biggest fall off of a manga that I've ever fucking read. 1116 00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:40,360 Everything post, everything, pose, Zen and arc, and 1117 00:59:40,360 --> 00:59:44,000 everything from the culling game on is hot fucking garbage 1118 00:59:44,200 --> 00:59:47,200 anyway. So. 1119 00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:50,880 Yeah, it's bad. OK, actually let's just let's 1120 00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:56,120 just go down to a a hill folk real quick and we're just going 1121 00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:58,000 to look at it real quick and then once we get to the 1122 00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,200 character section we'll come back to the combat example. 1123 01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:08,480 But I just want to look at a hill folk in the in the. 1124 01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,280 You know I got Ken. Another hill folk. 1125 01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:22,040 Yeah, Hill folk are basically little Ant warriors. 1126 01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:23,840 They're diminutive little buddies. 1127 01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:26,320 They live in a mysterious civilization. 1128 01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:29,880 They seem to communicate with clicks, whistles and meaningful 1129 01:00:29,880 --> 01:00:33,480 abdomen wiggles on their tensely protective of their mounds of 1130 01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:36,280 loose soil. Yeah, so. 1131 01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:38,040 They're. That's a funny one though. 1132 01:00:38,040 --> 01:00:41,200 Like that is actually like meaningful abdomen wiggles. 1133 01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:42,840 You're just. Like, yeah. 1134 01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:45,880 Well what I think is funny is that they're called hill folk 1135 01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:50,800 and it's because they have like the little, the little soil 1136 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,720 hills that they go in that cracks me, that I that actually 1137 01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:55,800 got me. So there's a cool picture of an 1138 01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:57,480 Ant here with a bow and a helmet and stuff. 1139 01:00:57,480 --> 01:00:59,080 It's dope. Again, love the art, love the 1140 01:00:59,080 --> 01:00:59,800 halftone. It's great. 1141 01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:03,480 So when we look at this character sheet for the hill 1142 01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:05,440 folk, this is, this is how it's explained. 1143 01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:07,800 And this is we're going to go over character creation and 1144 01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:10,120 explain that a little bit, but we're talking about the the bad 1145 01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:11,720 guy stats. So let's look at the bad guy 1146 01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:16,280 stats. So you have 6 plus to hit. 1147 01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:20,160 So that's a pink square. That means that a character has 1148 01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:25,320 to roll a six or more to hit this to hit the hill folk. 1149 01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:28,280 So on your pink dye you have to roll a six or more with 1150 01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,840 modifier. Also shout that they put 6 plus 1151 01:01:30,840 --> 01:01:33,240 and five plus in here because I think having that plus also just 1152 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:36,080 like creates A distinction because you were like 6 plus 1153 01:01:36,080 --> 01:01:38,120 mean means six are over. I'm like, oh, OK, obviously I 1154 01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:40,600 know what that means, you know? Yeah, exactly. 1155 01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:46,680 And then to defend its five plus in a Blue Square, that means 1156 01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:50,720 when you roll your blue die, you, the character, you have to 1157 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:54,800 roll a blue or higher or this thing hits you because you're 1158 01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:58,200 rolling the way that the bad, the way the bad guy stats are 1159 01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:02,200 written out, they're written out to you, right? 1160 01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:06,920 So you have to roll A6 plus to hit the hill folk, and you have 1161 01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:09,640 to roll A5 plus to defend against the hill folk. 1162 01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:13,480 So the the, the the what, That's what made it make sense in my 1163 01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:15,520 head. I was like, oh, they're still 1164 01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:17,640 talking to me. The bad guy stats are still 1165 01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:22,840 written addressing me 6 plus to hit the bad guy, 5 plus to 1166 01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,280 defend against the bad guy. I like that. 1167 01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:26,960 The fact. I like the fact that this is 1168 01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:30,320 written from a perspective of to the players at all points in 1169 01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:34,280 time, because it makes it like you don't have to refigure. 1170 01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,040 I can't remember what game we were talking about a few weeks 1171 01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:39,200 ago or like maybe a month ago where it was like everything was 1172 01:02:39,200 --> 01:02:41,120 player facing and there was like a minus. 1173 01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:44,040 But that was actually like a good thing for the players, but 1174 01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:46,800 was confusing because you had to recontextualize it for what the 1175 01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:49,560 player sees. But this is like, no there's one 1176 01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:52,120 point of view the entire time, and that works for whenever you 1177 01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:55,040 do the math for this game. Yeah, it's clever. 1178 01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,960 I like it. So the to hit, it also has the 1179 01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:00,880 the hit points in three, that's a bad guy hit point, it only has 1180 01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:02,640 three. And then the damage is the 1181 01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:04,440 damage that they do. Super fucking easy. 1182 01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:08,600 Super clean still follows the same general layout as the good 1183 01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:10,640 guy sheet, but again, it's still all written for you and that's 1184 01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:12,120 what it makes sense. There's also the size, the 1185 01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,640 initiative, and then if you look at reaction to HP on the bottom, 1186 01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:18,400 there's 1234 and five, six because there's only three hit 1187 01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,680 points. So it's only got 3 reactions 1188 01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:26,480 which means that like if you if you hit the the hill folk right 1189 01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:33,280 and then you on your silver die you roll A4 OK you would cross 1190 01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:38,200 off the top reaction because they lost one HP. 1191 01:03:38,200 --> 01:03:43,320 So that reactions gone and then the 3-4 means on the next turn 1192 01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:48,560 right you digs. In and swarms forward, running 1193 01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:50,960 around you in a circle of Assaults. 1194 01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:55,040 Heed list of your attacks, raid attack so it gets plus one 1195 01:03:55,040 --> 01:04:00,960 damage and you get -1 to hit. Oh no, 8 gets -1 to hit. 1196 01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:05,560 Right. And yeah, so the the whole that 1197 01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:07,560 is that is the thing. So whenever you roll your dice, 1198 01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:10,080 you know what what to hit, you know how to defend against them, 1199 01:04:10,080 --> 01:04:13,120 and it tells you the next action that the that that creature is 1200 01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:14,880 going to do. Clever, easy. 1201 01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:19,240 And again, it only has as many actions as it has HP, so every 1202 01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:21,760 time you hit it, it loses an action. 1203 01:04:23,480 --> 01:04:25,920 I like it, I like it. I think it's really clever. 1204 01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:28,040 I think it yeah, it works really well. 1205 01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:33,200 It's A and it is a thing that is in fact clever and successful 1206 01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:34,840 instead of just trying to be clever. 1207 01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:36,640 You know what I mean? Like this actually does work. 1208 01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:37,840 I do think this is a good system. 1209 01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,520 I like. I'm having a hard time relating 1210 01:04:40,520 --> 01:04:44,280 it to another thing that I've seen do this, which I like, you 1211 01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:44,880 know? Yeah. 1212 01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:48,040 Yeah, well, and The thing is, it makes it super solo game 1213 01:04:48,040 --> 01:04:50,000 friendly that we're going to get into a section that talks about 1214 01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:54,560 solo roles, but it already is. It's already like it's so easily 1215 01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:55,880 solo. You can tell like you're 1216 01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:58,880 already. You don't even need the total 1217 01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:00,680 master for any of the things that you're doing already. 1218 01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,160 Like you can tell all of that already. 1219 01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:06,520 Plus the adventures that they do put out for it are solo 1220 01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:09,120 adventures. Like, both of these are. 1221 01:05:09,240 --> 01:05:11,680 First of all, I also like that the book is like, it's that 1222 01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:15,520 Flippy, like half and half. But it's already built for that 1223 01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:19,280 anyway. So in the combat example of 1224 01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:22,680 vicious, which is a character type, fights a bunch of hill 1225 01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,680 folk, it makes fucking sense. Read it, do it. 1226 01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:28,400 There's also a reference here to murder hobos, which I think is 1227 01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:29,640 funny. Role players are sometimes 1228 01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:31,640 referred to as murder hobos because they often don't have a 1229 01:05:31,640 --> 01:05:33,920 home and one of the rooms killing things and taking their 1230 01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:35,560 possessions. It is a noble tradition. 1231 01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:39,320 It's funny. It it references murder hobos 1232 01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:41,280 earlier, and I like the little Axel Lehner. 1233 01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:46,600 It's true to the rules. Character real quick. 1234 01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:48,880 Yeah, right. So movement. 1235 01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:52,480 It's it's zones. It's zones. 1236 01:05:52,480 --> 01:05:55,480 And I really like that a lot. You basically can move from one 1237 01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:57,680 zone to the other. Each zone is considered 6 to 8 1238 01:05:57,680 --> 01:05:59,360 steps or whatever. It's like a small size room, 1239 01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:03,040 very like Mark Borgi. There are adjustments for 1240 01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:06,600 terrain types. So normal you find precarious, 1241 01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:08,560 which means a slippery or dangerously slanted. 1242 01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,960 You get a -, 1 two speed and accuracy test and a rough 1243 01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:14,360 terrain makes it difficult to travel. 1244 01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:21,000 All speed tests are -2 and all and Malay attacks also have a -, 1245 01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:26,560 1 P to hit as well and sometimes it can be impassable. 1246 01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:28,560 Water is a thing. There's all section here for 1247 01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:31,000 like water. Most don't like swimming, some 1248 01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,560 can. There are tests for durability 1249 01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:38,200 and everything like that for for water, we get into a part that I 1250 01:06:38,200 --> 01:06:40,200 thought was interesting. So the currency in the Shimmer. 1251 01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:43,080 This is what I'm talking about. Why the fuck are we talking 1252 01:06:43,080 --> 01:06:44,120 about Currency and The Shimmer Right now? 1253 01:06:44,120 --> 01:06:45,760 We haven't even got to character creation roles. 1254 01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:48,480 Oh yeah. I guess I didn't realize. 1255 01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:50,200 Yeah, we haven't. Oh yeah. 1256 01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:54,320 Yeah, it's weird. It's weird how much they put 1257 01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:56,880 before character creation, 'cause I would have just put the 1258 01:06:56,880 --> 01:06:58,920 base. So you know me, I would have put 1259 01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:02,160 the 3D, six and three DI 6 roll and then the character creation 1260 01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:05,680 and then everything else after. But this puts everything before 1261 01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:08,400 character creation and then goes to character creation, which is 1262 01:07:08,560 --> 01:07:10,200 fine to a point. I just. 1263 01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:11,440 No, I doesn't. Yeah. 1264 01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:14,080 I mean, it's like I would put character creation for this. 1265 01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:16,040 Yeah, I I agree. I think putting the core 1266 01:07:16,040 --> 01:07:19,000 mechanics and then character creation and it's like OK now 1267 01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,400 everything else. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. 1268 01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,560 Like, yeah. So currency nectar, there's 1269 01:07:23,560 --> 01:07:26,920 there's nectar, amber, large gems, and small gems. 1270 01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:31,440 Nectar is basically like the the, the dope shit. 1271 01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:36,640 It is what used to feed the queen, but now you can use it. 1272 01:07:36,880 --> 01:07:38,280 It is the thing that's worth the most. 1273 01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:42,000 It's worth 5 amber, 50 large gyms or 100 small gyms. 1274 01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:46,120 Then you have amber, which is amber like you would think. 1275 01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:50,400 Amber like things that trap bugs and stuff, and you heard the 1276 01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:54,280 relation to to that. So they're worth 10 large gyms 1277 01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:56,600 and 50 small gyms. And you have large gyms which 1278 01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:58,320 are crystal, silver, gold, whatever. 1279 01:07:58,840 --> 01:08:00,760 They're big. They're worth 10 small gyms and 1280 01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:04,560 small gyms are small gyms, food and healing. 1281 01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:06,960 So this is interesting. There are only two types of 1282 01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:10,760 food, rations and nectar. Both can be found in the wild 1283 01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:12,680 depths of the shimmer, but neither is abundant. 1284 01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:16,479 Specific mushrooms rown to eat can be hard to find and nectar 1285 01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:19,240 is harder still. You can make a shimmer through 1286 01:08:19,359 --> 01:08:25,560 thorough search, page 130. Not hyperlinked if you are not 1287 01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:27,359 in combat. This is one of the other ones 1288 01:08:27,359 --> 01:08:29,520 I'm talking about. There's like a weird but also 1289 01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:30,279 OK. I'm sorry. 1290 01:08:30,279 --> 01:08:31,680 Also bro. What? 1291 01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:33,760 What? Look at Shimmer through thorough 1292 01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:35,680 search. What do you see this different 1293 01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:38,319 about that? I did bold stuff there. 1294 01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:43,399 It's bolded. Come on, if you are not in 1295 01:08:43,399 --> 01:08:46,200 combat by rolling 10 plus Cha skill test. 1296 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:48,160 If you succeed, roll the table twice and select one. 1297 01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:50,200 If you fail, roll. So basically there are shimmer 1298 01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:54,040 through shimmer thorough search. There's rolls for finding nectar 1299 01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:57,120 and stuff. Rations are general foodstuffs 1300 01:08:57,600 --> 01:09:00,720 like mushrooms and whatnot. When eaten, they temporarily 1301 01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:07,080 mitigate damage, but they do not heal it one combat round or a 1302 01:09:07,080 --> 01:09:11,880 single skill test. So basically, if you say you 1303 01:09:11,880 --> 01:09:15,840 have damage to your accuracy and you really need accuracy, you 1304 01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:19,439 can much on a mushroom and reduce that damage. 1305 01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:21,920 So you don't want to get the disadvantage to your skill 1306 01:09:21,920 --> 01:09:25,279 check, but only for that skill check and then it's gone, so 1307 01:09:25,279 --> 01:09:29,880 it's temporary. And then you have nectar, which 1308 01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:31,680 is used to be the favorite of the queen. 1309 01:09:32,479 --> 01:09:35,800 It's it's it's the highest worth thing. 1310 01:09:36,240 --> 01:09:37,479 Like it's worth more than anything. 1311 01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:43,800 But as a healing property, a single Pearl of nectar heals A 1312 01:09:43,800 --> 01:09:48,880 damaged stack completely. So if you have that heal to your 1313 01:09:48,880 --> 01:09:52,359 accuracy, little little Pearl of nectar, boom, you're good. 1314 01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:54,240 Other foodstuffs? Who cares? 1315 01:09:55,160 --> 01:09:57,480 Plant and fungi in the shimmer? They exist. 1316 01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:01,360 Roll on the shimmer quick search table to see what particular 1317 01:10:01,360 --> 01:10:03,200 plant you can adjust in the effects of it. 1318 01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:06,280 This is your best chance for a quick boost in battle. 1319 01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:09,640 You can do some other searches. There's an optional encumbrance 1320 01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:11,960 rule runner. Very strong. 1321 01:10:13,120 --> 01:10:16,000 It basically says you can carry as much. 1322 01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:19,520 You can carry +4 if you have four arms and after that you 1323 01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:21,480 have encumbrance which is a thing. 1324 01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:25,520 Mind swapping time and cocooning. 1325 01:10:26,440 --> 01:10:33,240 I just fucking hate this. Like this is genuinely the only 1326 01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:37,760 thing that I at like just do not like about this game at all. 1327 01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:41,720 So I. Gotta keep 100 with you, bro. 1328 01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:44,040 I saw that and I was like, I'm not reading this section. 1329 01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:46,640 Yeah. That's basically how I felt 1330 01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:48,880 about it. I I genuinely enjoy this game 1331 01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:50,880 and the more I read it, the more I enjoy it. 1332 01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:53,080 And then this is the only part where I'm like, I don't 1333 01:10:53,080 --> 01:10:55,080 understand the problem you're trying to solve here. 1334 01:10:55,400 --> 01:10:58,240 And if you weren't trying to solve a problem, no aspect of 1335 01:10:58,240 --> 01:10:59,960 this is any necessity whatsoever. 1336 01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:04,640 So the mindset of a Rone, as we said, each Rone, which is 1337 01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:07,440 characters have 3 consciousnesses in them and each 1338 01:11:07,440 --> 01:11:09,320 consciousness is called a mindset. 1339 01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:15,800 So you have three fully distinct creature like minds inside each 1340 01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:20,360 Rone body and they're all aware of each other and they can swap 1341 01:11:20,360 --> 01:11:25,800 at any time. They can even swap after you hit 1342 01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:28,000 something and before that thing does damage to you. 1343 01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:32,640 Mm hmm. Do you understand what I'm 1344 01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:33,400 saying? Yeah. 1345 01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:34,400 No, I do. I do. 1346 01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:39,280 So I can just be like, I rolled, I hit the thing, and before the 1347 01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:41,480 thing hits me, I'll be like, wait, I'm switching to this guy 1348 01:11:41,480 --> 01:11:43,720 because I he's the one I want to get stats with and then 1349 01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:45,480 immediately switch back. What? 1350 01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:49,560 Tracking that seems like a fucking nightmare every. 1351 01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:52,240 Character would have 3 character sheets, because eventually we're 1352 01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:53,520 going to get to the character sheet. 1353 01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:56,320 There's only one set on each one, so you have 3 full 1354 01:11:56,320 --> 01:12:00,720 character sheets for each. Oh my God, I don't understand. 1355 01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:06,320 So basically each character only is 6 HP because you take one 1356 01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:08,960 damage to each stat in which all six stats are done. 1357 01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:11,880 You're dead. So you actually have 18 HP, 1358 01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:19,000 right? Because you have 3 mindsets, 1359 01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:23,520 each with six, right? Just give one of you. 1360 01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:27,720 Just give one character 18 HP. No, no. 1361 01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:32,440 Yeah. Yeah, so this is, this is, this 1362 01:12:32,440 --> 01:12:34,640 is how I hacked this game and I'm going to say it real quick. 1363 01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:42,480 You only have one mindset. You have 18 HP and to keep the 1364 01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:44,200 to keep what they want to do with the game. 1365 01:12:44,520 --> 01:12:49,280 Each one of your stats has three pips on it, all right. 1366 01:12:49,520 --> 01:12:52,000 Every time you take damage, you have to fill in one of those 1367 01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:54,160 pips on one of the stats, exactly like you normally do. 1368 01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:56,280 But you do it three times for each one. 1369 01:12:56,560 --> 01:13:00,240 And then once all three pips are filled on a stat, that's when 1370 01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:04,280 then you take disadvantage. It's the exact same thing. 1371 01:13:04,440 --> 01:13:06,640 It's just multiplied by three, it's the exact same thing, but 1372 01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:07,920 you only have to have one character sheet. 1373 01:13:11,080 --> 01:13:13,600 No. So I'm actually whatever comment 1374 01:13:13,600 --> 01:13:15,880 you made, I switched to a different personality and they 1375 01:13:15,880 --> 01:13:17,600 took that comment in and I switched. 1376 01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:20,920 So he took the mental damage from the thing that I just did. 1377 01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:22,640 Yeah, I. Don't, but you switched back. 1378 01:13:23,280 --> 01:13:26,720 Yeah, listen, I think your fix is great and I don't like this. 1379 01:13:27,720 --> 01:13:30,120 Yeah, I mean, that's exactly how I would play. 1380 01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:32,680 I would play this in a heartbeat and I would play it exactly like 1381 01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:35,920 I said because it she seems completely pulling us to try to 1382 01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:39,360 run 3 characters when you can just run one the exact same way 1383 01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:41,840 but just by just by tripling everything is. 1384 01:13:42,160 --> 01:13:45,120 There something that we're like just missing and not? 1385 01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:47,320 Understanding. No, no, because I think if we if 1386 01:13:47,320 --> 01:13:49,800 you go back to the shimmer part it specifically says that bugs 1387 01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:54,360 die quickly and in order for like lower wise which explains 1388 01:13:54,360 --> 01:13:57,360 mechanics. In order for the bugs to die 1389 01:13:57,360 --> 01:14:01,600 less quickly, they evolve to have three mindsets in each body 1390 01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:03,200 so that if one dies, they can keep going. 1391 01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:06,280 It's weird that they evolved 3 consciousness and not just more 1392 01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:10,240 hip planes. I think I this is, this is the 1393 01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:12,160 only part where I'm like, I think this whole thing is clever 1394 01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:13,440 and I think this is just too clever. 1395 01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:17,840 I think this is an idea that like got stuck and they just 1396 01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:20,760 went with and I just see no reason for it. 1397 01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:25,120 I dislike it and it doesn't fix anything in a in a in a fun 1398 01:14:25,120 --> 01:14:27,760 interest in in a way that I personally enjoy, in a way that 1399 01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:30,480 I personally enjoy. Again, I'm not saying it's bad. 1400 01:14:30,480 --> 01:14:34,600 I'm saying I thing gets bad. Oh, in my opinion. 1401 01:14:35,480 --> 01:14:38,760 Our opinions on here are not like if we ever say that we 1402 01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:41,880 dislike a thing during the show, we're not saying necessarily 1403 01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:45,320 it's bad because our opinions don't matter, yeah. 1404 01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:46,480 That's very true. Our opinions? 1405 01:14:46,560 --> 01:14:47,160 Don't. Yeah. 1406 01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:49,040 So. This is genuinely just our 1407 01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:51,520 opinions. And sometimes people online 1408 01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:54,640 point out stuff that I previously thought was bad and 1409 01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:58,200 discuss it. And I'm like, oh, I kind of do 1410 01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:02,680 get that more now, you know, so. Well that's one of the reasons I 1411 01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:05,520 like doing this with you, right. That's one of the reasons I like 1412 01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:07,720 doing this with you though is cause both of us I think 1413 01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:11,040 numerous times I think you more than me. 1414 01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:14,680 But still both of us have done it where we'll read something 1415 01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:17,520 and be like either did not get this or I do not like it. 1416 01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:20,320 But in the context of us like talking with each other, we both 1417 01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:22,760 get to a point where we're like, Oh no, actually we do like that. 1418 01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:24,120 Or actually, no, we don't like that. 1419 01:15:24,360 --> 01:15:28,000 But like the the understanding, talking it out loud with 1420 01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:32,800 somebody else is so much better and more interesting than just 1421 01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:34,600 sitting and reading quietly by yourself with it. 1422 01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:39,280 I agree, knowing a lot. I mean, now that I've, you know, 1423 01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:41,760 in the past, you know, talking about us doing the show because 1424 01:15:41,760 --> 01:15:45,160 we've been doing it for like 3 years now or whatever in the 1425 01:15:45,160 --> 01:15:49,240 past, like several months or this latest year of the show, I 1426 01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:51,040 have a lot more like free time. And I'm. 1427 01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:53,880 I have people in my life who are way more accommodating to me 1428 01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:56,400 wanting to do shit like this. So I've been playing a lot of 1429 01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:58,880 this stuff solo now. So I actually do understand a 1430 01:15:58,880 --> 01:16:01,720 lot more than just like sitting and quietly reading. 1431 01:16:02,280 --> 01:16:04,600 Doing is doing is learning for me, you know. 1432 01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:06,960 Yeah, well that's like I said, with the three by six, I 1433 01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:10,160 literally had to go through the example play and play out the 1434 01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:11,800 example play. And then I was like, oh shit, 1435 01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:14,400 the light bulb clicked on and I love this anyway, so mind 1436 01:16:14,400 --> 01:16:17,520 swapping time and cocooning you got you got three of them, they 1437 01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:20,840 can swap out. It literally says like even just 1438 01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:24,240 before a sword stroke or in the in that heartbeat before the 1439 01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:28,840 poison reaches the blood, you can switch out OK if done within 1440 01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:32,520 without a cocooning session. This is called a mind swap. 1441 01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:33,960 Cocooning session means long rest. 1442 01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:38,360 OK, a mind swap. I'm at a cocooning session. 1443 01:16:41,360 --> 01:16:43,840 However, each mindset has a certain exoskeleton 1444 01:16:43,840 --> 01:16:47,280 configuration that they trained with and are used to. 1445 01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:49,800 So basically when you're when you switch mindsets, it actually 1446 01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:52,760 like reconfigures your body a little bit to to for that 1447 01:16:52,760 --> 01:16:56,640 mindset to feel at home, right? So if you do a quick swap in 1448 01:16:56,640 --> 01:17:00,560 combat, that's bad that you can, but it sucks for you. 1449 01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:07,240 If they slot into the body without cocooning, all skills 1450 01:17:07,240 --> 01:17:11,320 have a -, 2 from what they are normally at for that particular 1451 01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:14,760 role, including combat skills. That sucks. 1452 01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:17,440 Yeah, that sucks. That's not good on AD six. 1453 01:17:17,520 --> 01:17:19,320 That's not good. That sucks. 1454 01:17:20,480 --> 01:17:23,440 Yeah, in order to properly drive the body without skill 1455 01:17:23,440 --> 01:17:25,840 penalties, a mine has to do a good schooning session. 1456 01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:28,560 You have to do a long rest. It does the whole thing, blah 1457 01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:30,280 blah blah. Remarkably, this type of 1458 01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:32,920 rearranging is capable of regrowing severed limbs and 1459 01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:35,760 healing crush carapaces. However, any damaged skill 1460 01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:38,840 remains damaged when a group performs cocooning session. 1461 01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:41,440 All of this must mark off one on the time circles. 1462 01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:45,560 Cocooning session. Yeah, it that advances the time 1463 01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:48,480 circle. There's a cocoon table to see 1464 01:17:48,480 --> 01:17:52,200 what happens if everyone's cocooned up, and there's a note 1465 01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:54,160 on mind swaps. You can mind swap at any time, 1466 01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:56,240 even after dealing a hit but before taking damage. 1467 01:17:56,480 --> 01:17:59,120 It becomes a balancing act to decide which of your mindset, 1468 01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,920 skills, and abilities are most important to you, and which ones 1469 01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:03,880 were sacrificing to a poison blade in the dark. 1470 01:18:03,880 --> 01:18:07,440 Essentially, this does mean that you have 18 stats to damage 1471 01:18:07,440 --> 01:18:09,480 before all three of your mindsets are dead, and you can 1472 01:18:09,480 --> 01:18:11,480 apply the damage to any of them that you play. 1473 01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:14,440 Once one of them is dead, their skills and talents are gone. 1474 01:18:15,360 --> 01:18:19,400 It's if. I'm gonna tell you, you can You 1475 01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:22,200 can pretty much cut almost this whole page out for me. 1476 01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:24,480 Just just X the whole fucking page out. 1477 01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:28,440 Really just yeah. If if this means essentially 1478 01:18:28,440 --> 01:18:30,920 that you have 18 HP, then what should you just have? 1479 01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:34,840 Call the thing a thing you just. Have 18 HP, Brah. 1480 01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:38,480 I don't want through character shoots. 1481 01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:43,520 Each of your mindsets dies when they've damaged all six of their 1482 01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:45,240 skills. No saving throws, no magic, no 1483 01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:47,720 nothing. All damage sustained remains. 1484 01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:49,960 When all three mindsets are dead, you're dead. 1485 01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:51,240 Boom. Irrevocably. 1486 01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:55,680 You out, you are food for the shimmer I'm in a case of. 1487 01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:59,640 Sorry, I'm I'm like, I'm just pondering now and I'm I'm almost 1488 01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:04,080 thinking like even if not expanding to 18 HP, like maybe 1489 01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:06,880 just make these characters like just really careable little 1490 01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:08,160 bugs. Like they're bugs. 1491 01:19:08,160 --> 01:19:12,440 They just die, you know? Well, so I think the reason that 1492 01:19:12,440 --> 01:19:18,840 they like having more HP in the game is that as we read further 1493 01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:21,720 along, A, it's there's a heavy focus on solo play. 1494 01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:25,240 But B, it's really designed for one shot. 1495 01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:27,560 So they specifically say this is really designed for one shot. 1496 01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:30,600 So they don't really want you having to like stop to redo 1497 01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:32,480 another character and stuff like that or have a bunch. 1498 01:19:32,480 --> 01:19:34,920 It's not supposed to be a funnel like you're supposed to get 1499 01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:36,680 through. And I don't mind the choice 1500 01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:38,280 mechanic. You know, we love choice here. 1501 01:19:38,320 --> 01:19:40,240 You know we love like that kind of shit. 1502 01:19:40,440 --> 01:19:44,480 I just think that it's it overly to me it just feels already 1503 01:19:44,480 --> 01:19:45,760 comic. I don't want to have to worry 1504 01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:48,640 about 3 sheets. I don't have to worry about shit 1505 01:19:48,680 --> 01:19:51,240 which which one hasn't got their accuracy done yet. 1506 01:19:51,240 --> 01:19:54,440 Like I think it's it's obviously doable it's obviously playable. 1507 01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:58,960 I just see no reason for it. I just again I like my fix. 1508 01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:03,400 Just 18 HP and if you want to mark off things then every one 1509 01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:08,200 of your stats gets 3 pips. And once all three are gone, 1510 01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:10,240 then you have it's the exact same thing. 1511 01:20:10,840 --> 01:20:12,880 Instead of damaging 3 characters, you'd damage 1 1512 01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:14,480 character three times for the same result. 1513 01:20:14,480 --> 01:20:19,880 Like that's how I would fly anyway in case the mindset dies, 1514 01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:22,040 which is quite likely to happen, your character can decide to 1515 01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:26,720 remain dead or do some other stuff anyway. 1516 01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:30,320 Essentially it says essentially that is all you need to know to 1517 01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:32,600 play 3 by 6 as a traditional RPG. 1518 01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:37,760 But here's some solo rules. And it's not really solo rules, 1519 01:20:38,880 --> 01:20:41,160 it's just solo kind of directions. 1520 01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:43,960 So one of the goals of three by six was to make it fun for solo 1521 01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:46,920 play, which I think the the effect slash should be called 1522 01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:49,520 reaction die does. So it says many of the rules for 1523 01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:51,800 standard 3 by 6 also apply to solo play. 1524 01:20:52,160 --> 01:20:55,000 The simplest style of solo play is to pick a few thematic 1525 01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:57,360 things. All creatures have a set of 1526 01:20:57,360 --> 01:20:59,120 reactions that tell you how they wait. 1527 01:20:59,120 --> 01:21:02,600 Are the reactions not effects? They trigger the effect die. 1528 01:21:02,960 --> 01:21:06,000 Also feel free to choose a reaction like Rage and decide 1529 01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,040 that upon additional counters, et cetera. 1530 01:21:08,120 --> 01:21:10,680 So there's no new rules because the game is already designed in 1531 01:21:10,680 --> 01:21:14,040 a way that that automatically makes it solo friendly. 1532 01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:18,280 There is just a page here explaining a little bit of of 2 1533 01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:24,680 pages of a more. It just explainers and and tips 1534 01:21:24,680 --> 01:21:26,200 and tricks for for going solo play. 1535 01:21:27,680 --> 01:21:30,000 There are also solo specific adventures called Delve Your Own 1536 01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:38,320 Dungeons which again are here. Great piece of art. 1537 01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:43,880 I love this like like bust like chest up side view of a of a 1538 01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:47,320 roan. They're weird little teeth 1539 01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:49,680 things, you know, dude. Dude. 1540 01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:51,280 No the. Mushrooms or. 1541 01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:56,280 Very small mouth yeah. Yeah, it's a the yeah, it the 1542 01:21:56,280 --> 01:21:58,600 art in this is not. Not bad. 1543 01:21:59,480 --> 01:22:01,560 It's it's great. I really enjoy it. 1544 01:22:02,520 --> 01:22:04,560 I. Really like the style a lot. 1545 01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,640 I really like the style a lot. And again, the halftone shading 1546 01:22:07,640 --> 01:22:11,920 just really makes it just gives it like AI don't know a person. 1547 01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:14,280 It's just something something about everything in here being 1548 01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:17,560 like like the the brown to the paper, the halftone to 1549 01:22:17,560 --> 01:22:19,920 everything. It does have a comic booky 1550 01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:21,920 sketch feel that I really enjoy a lot. 1551 01:22:22,800 --> 01:22:27,520 Yeah, it has like the the background has a like very 1552 01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:30,800 dotting, like stippling effect from like a very comic bookie. 1553 01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:34,200 As well have tone. Okay, that's yeah, yeah. 1554 01:22:36,680 --> 01:22:39,200 Yeah, so that's all the rules you need, but here's character 1555 01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:42,320 creation 6 archetypes because. Of course. 1556 01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:44,800 Those are all the rules you need. 1557 01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:45,880 Yeah. Wait, wait. 1558 01:22:45,880 --> 01:22:49,040 Hold on, hold on. Yeah we'll just we'll just touch 1559 01:22:49,040 --> 01:22:52,640 on on one or two of the one one of these to explain it and maybe 1560 01:22:52,640 --> 01:22:54,800 one or two other things we'll we'll occurs to this we're we're 1561 01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:57,080 we're really and then we're just gonna get to the BCR and stuff 1562 01:22:57,160 --> 01:23:04,440 but we'll be about done here so when you have right where's my 1563 01:23:04,440 --> 01:23:05,920 where's my note this is stop yelling. 1564 01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:07,080 I'm really trying to stop yelling. 1565 01:23:07,800 --> 01:23:09,600 I have a mic that picks up my volume just fine. 1566 01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:14,800 There are 6 roles with notable characteristics. 1567 01:23:14,800 --> 01:23:18,040 The first step is creating this picking your characters to meet 1568 01:23:18,040 --> 01:23:21,280 the archetypes. Each archetype has skills and 1569 01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:24,920 talents, and then last gasps. These are I love this note. 1570 01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:29,480 These are distinct, unusual, and the wholly unique archetypes are 1571 01:23:29,480 --> 01:23:31,760 in no way inspired by any other RPG. 1572 01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:34,800 But because we as humans like easy comparisons to relate to, 1573 01:23:34,800 --> 01:23:37,640 I'll connect each to a typical fantasy trope you'll recognize. 1574 01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:39,680 But they weren't inspired by them. 1575 01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:43,680 Don't make me add a page of Open Game License rules to this book. 1576 01:23:44,040 --> 01:23:46,160 I like that, that I really, really enjoyed that a lot. 1577 01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:48,440 Yeah, it's pretty funny. It's pretty funny because also 1578 01:23:48,440 --> 01:23:51,440 we're going to go through these and be like, yeah, that's a 1579 01:23:51,440 --> 01:23:53,840 rogue. Oh, the burly, hardcore 1580 01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:57,280 barbarian Brutal. Yeah, thick exoskeletons, 1581 01:23:57,280 --> 01:23:59,640 primary and secondary arms that fuse together to increase the 1582 01:23:59,640 --> 01:24:01,560 power. So we'll just roll through them 1583 01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:03,040 real quick, because art on them is fantastic. 1584 01:24:03,040 --> 01:24:05,240 So brutal. They're brutal. 1585 01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:08,120 They're thick. They're they're thick boys, but 1586 01:24:08,120 --> 01:24:10,800 not the thickest boy. They are your Barbarians. 1587 01:24:12,920 --> 01:24:16,200 You have the the clever. They're taller. 1588 01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:20,360 They have small lower arms. There isn't magic in the 1589 01:24:20,360 --> 01:24:22,640 shimmer, but if there were, these bugs would have a penchant 1590 01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:26,560 for robes. Instead, they devoted their 1591 01:24:26,560 --> 01:24:28,760 intelligence to healing and specialty crafting and stuff 1592 01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:29,920 like that. That's the clever. 1593 01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:37,080 Then you have the the nimble. Yeah, yeah, based on charm 1594 01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:39,440 Excellence is the fingers. They seem like creepy. 1595 01:24:39,960 --> 01:24:41,800 The nimble roads are equally adapted. 1596 01:24:41,800 --> 01:24:45,200 Charming folk with a steel loot or stealing loot from charming 1597 01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:46,520 folks. It's like a barred rogue. 1598 01:24:50,080 --> 01:24:54,640 Then you have the precise yeah, which is your sniper, Ranger, 1599 01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:55,800 Archer. Are you just going like 1600 01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:57,440 everything a rogue until we get to the one that's a rogue? 1601 01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:01,240 I said. That was a brogue, you know. 1602 01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:04,040 I thought you said a rogue. I was like, you're like, what's 1603 01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:05,680 got? To be rogue too so. 1604 01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:10,560 So the sniper, Ranger, Archer. Not fancy enough to be an elf, 1605 01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:13,640 but close and they have adorable fuzzy antenna. 1606 01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:20,160 And then you have the resilient. This is a thick, thick boy. 1607 01:25:20,200 --> 01:25:23,200 These tanks, the tanks, the small, incredibly compact 1608 01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:25,920 Rhodes, are entirely covered in thick, bulbous exoskeleton. 1609 01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:29,120 They sacrifice maneuverability for safety and durability. 1610 01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:34,600 And then you have the vicious, fast, and agile, with just 1611 01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:35,880 enough armor for your protection. 1612 01:25:35,880 --> 01:25:39,960 Vicious Rhone are the fighters. They excel at melee. 1613 01:25:40,440 --> 01:25:42,760 They were the elite guards of the Queen back in the day. 1614 01:25:42,920 --> 01:25:44,600 I love that. The tiny little dagger in his 1615 01:25:44,600 --> 01:25:45,320 bottom arms. Yeah. 1616 01:25:46,680 --> 01:25:48,000 It's just like the. Short sword? 1617 01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:52,040 Yeah, so those are the six archetypes for the most part. 1618 01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:55,640 Let's just look at the Vicious. I really like vicious, so if we 1619 01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:58,520 So it's a it's a full page where you have the the initiative 1620 01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:01,000 listed. This is initiative 8 for the 1621 01:26:01,000 --> 01:26:04,320 vicious, you have a piece of art, you have a nice blurb. 1622 01:26:04,480 --> 01:26:06,400 I really like that. Then on the second page at the 1623 01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:10,280 top, you have your two pink and two blue, the circles and 1624 01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:13,040 squares. So it's a +2 to hit offensive 1625 01:26:13,040 --> 01:26:18,560 modifier, plus one for damage, plus one to block and zero 1626 01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:20,560 damage, which means zero damage reduction. 1627 01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:24,920 And then you have your six stats, and for almost every 1628 01:26:24,920 --> 01:26:30,920 single character you get A0A plus 1A plus 2A plus three. 1629 01:26:30,920 --> 01:26:35,120 A -, 1 and a -, 2 for every character except for one. 1630 01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:39,640 And I don't know why that was different and it makes no sense 1631 01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:41,120 to me. So I would just change the one 1632 01:26:41,720 --> 01:26:44,760 the brutal. For some reason, if you go back 1633 01:26:44,760 --> 01:26:56,120 to brutal, it has a A -, 3. Yes, A0A plus 1 + 2 + 3 -, 2. 1634 01:26:56,120 --> 01:26:58,600 And it's gonna be slightly better, but that's. 1635 01:26:58,640 --> 01:27:02,920 Actually it's a. It's a -, 3 instead of a -, 1. 1636 01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:06,160 Everyone is the same except for the speed on this one, which 1637 01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:09,720 makes no sense to me because the Brutal are supposed to be like 1638 01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:13,560 they have thick exoskeletons, their arms are fused together 1639 01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:18,840 and stuff like that. But the if you go to Resilient, 1640 01:27:18,840 --> 01:27:23,760 it specifically says that it sacrifices maneuverability, so 1641 01:27:23,760 --> 01:27:26,560 why wouldn't that be the -3? There is a a thing with the 1642 01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:28,680 Resilient where I can bunch up the muscles and have like a 1643 01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:31,280 quick shot and that's why it's got decent speed. 1644 01:27:31,520 --> 01:27:37,000 But I couldn't find a reason why the Brutal is the only class, 1645 01:27:37,040 --> 01:27:39,640 the only archetype that has a -, 3 on anything. 1646 01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:42,280 I thought it was going to be like we, you know, especially if 1647 01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:45,840 you're going to put a -, 3. I was putting two plus threes 1648 01:27:45,840 --> 01:27:49,320 then and gotten rid of the +2. You know, I would balance it 1649 01:27:49,320 --> 01:27:50,760 out. The numbers, yeah. 1650 01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:55,240 But it's literally just -2 bolt. It's just the only 1 -, 2, yeah. 1651 01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:58,560 I also for a game that has set stats for all the character 1652 01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:01,280 classes, like you think it'd be like, OK, well we wanna make 1653 01:28:01,280 --> 01:28:05,400 them like equal, right? Like, they're spread. 1654 01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:06,960 They're spread. They're the spread is different, 1655 01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:09,480 but they're all the same modifiers for them. 1656 01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:12,040 Yeah, no, but fuck this guy, you know? 1657 01:28:12,240 --> 01:28:13,440 Yeah. Fuck this guy. 1658 01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:16,600 Honestly, what I would do if I wanted to really balance it out 1659 01:28:16,600 --> 01:28:19,800 is I would just, I would take the 2 minus stats and I would 1660 01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:23,320 just do a -, 2 on speed and a -, 1 on accuracy, and then just 1661 01:28:23,320 --> 01:28:25,240 call it close enough. Like I would just bump it all 1662 01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:30,400 back down by 1. So anyway, so going down to the 1663 01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:32,680 Vicious, because I do like that one, That's the one I would play 1664 01:28:32,680 --> 01:28:34,680 probably just 'cause I like the word vicious, 'cause I'm a 1665 01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:36,640 fucking Christ, Lord piece of shit. 1666 01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:37,280 You suck. We know. 1667 01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:40,520 Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's exactly why it's 100%. 1668 01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:46,320 So going through their character sheet, do you have a number of 1669 01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:48,280 special talent? So special talent, something 1670 01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:51,720 like flashing blades plus one P damage when using one handed 1671 01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:54,360 bladed weapons. 4 blades are better than one. 1672 01:28:54,360 --> 01:28:58,520 You can hold up to four one handed weapons, you know, 1673 01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:00,840 etcetera, etcetera. Long jump, swashbuckler, web 1674 01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:06,080 Walker, Then you get last gasp. There's one Death from Above. 1675 01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:09,240 Executes a precision strike on any creature within three areas 1676 01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:11,200 by swinging from a grappling line. 1677 01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:15,360 Does 4 damage to the targeted creature, and then the Flurry of 1678 01:29:15,360 --> 01:29:19,560 strikes, which is not Flurry of Blows, it lashes out, making 1679 01:29:19,560 --> 01:29:21,600 four separate attacks unblockable. 1680 01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:23,120 May be used on the same creature. 1681 01:29:24,440 --> 01:29:27,480 I like the the narratively the death from above because just 1682 01:29:27,480 --> 01:29:29,920 explaining that like yeah there's come face come from a 1683 01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:33,200 grappling. Just, yeah, there, there just is 1684 01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:34,000 one. It. 1685 01:29:34,120 --> 01:29:37,280 It reminds me of, like, just like any Souls game where it's 1686 01:29:37,280 --> 01:29:40,360 like you have a big bad guy just try to stand above them and get 1687 01:29:40,360 --> 01:29:46,520 that huge, like, jump down. So it specifically says each 1688 01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:49,520 archetype has skills and stats that show how good they are. 1689 01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:52,440 Oh, I think it's after. It kind of explains like what 1690 01:29:52,440 --> 01:29:53,840 you're actually picking and stuff. 1691 01:29:56,680 --> 01:29:59,440 Oh, there's a names list here, 3D6 names table. 1692 01:29:59,760 --> 01:30:02,000 Once you have met all six archetypes and probably have a 1693 01:30:02,000 --> 01:30:04,840 favorite, there's this clever he likes the little eyes. 1694 01:30:05,040 --> 01:30:07,800 It's time to choose the three archetypes you plan to play. 1695 01:30:08,160 --> 01:30:12,760 Each has three special talents. Choose one of those for each 1696 01:30:12,760 --> 01:30:15,040 archetype. Then record their last gasp 1697 01:30:15,040 --> 01:30:17,680 ability. So you have 3 mindsets. 1698 01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:20,640 So choose one talent for each one. 1699 01:30:20,920 --> 01:30:23,480 Or just have one mindset and pick three talents. 1700 01:30:23,480 --> 01:30:28,480 Come on, then, record their last gasp abilities. 1701 01:30:28,480 --> 01:30:31,680 You get both of those, but you only get one at the end. 1702 01:30:31,680 --> 01:30:35,480 Like you, you have both as an option, and then you should also 1703 01:30:35,480 --> 01:30:37,480 name your character, blah blah blah. 1704 01:30:37,680 --> 01:30:42,920 Finally, select one of the available basic talents each of 1705 01:30:42,920 --> 01:30:45,640 your archetypes will have. If you have a feeling, if you're 1706 01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:49,120 feeling random, roll for it. So for your character, each 1707 01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:52,480 mindset gets a special talent and a basic talent. 1708 01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:57,400 You have to pick each or use my hack and pick 3 talents and 1709 01:30:57,400 --> 01:31:00,800 three basic talents and these are things like Acrobat, 1710 01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:04,720 Blacksmith, Climbing Evade. So Acrobat is a + 2 on skill 1711 01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:07,360 checks related to feats of acrobatics. 1712 01:31:07,960 --> 01:31:12,280 Most of these most of these are just modifiers or like so Evade 1713 01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:15,120 once per combat you can evade 1 wound which doesn't make sense 1714 01:31:15,120 --> 01:31:16,680 to me. They talk about wounds a bunch, 1715 01:31:18,440 --> 01:31:21,640 but never actually call anything a wound. 1716 01:31:21,640 --> 01:31:23,440 But. They also did we define wounds 1717 01:31:23,440 --> 01:31:24,680 earlier. Never. 1718 01:31:24,680 --> 01:31:25,520 That's in my notes. It's. 1719 01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:28,520 Been damaged this I think the entire time. 1720 01:31:28,720 --> 01:31:31,680 Yeah, the damage is the entire time because each of your stats 1721 01:31:31,680 --> 01:31:34,080 can be damaged. Like when you when you heal with 1722 01:31:34,080 --> 01:31:38,360 nectar you heal damage. So wound is suddenly switched to 1723 01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:41,560 wound and there's no explainer, I just. 1724 01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:44,800 Assumed it was damaged at one point in time and then they 1725 01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:47,840 forgot to change it later on and they updated the wording. 1726 01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:52,000 See what I would do is again have the three pips for each one 1727 01:31:52,000 --> 01:31:55,160 and each pip is a wound and you can take 3 wounds before that 1728 01:31:55,160 --> 01:31:57,720 stat is damaged. And and and you have the 1729 01:31:57,720 --> 01:31:59,920 negative disadvantage, but I think that is. 1730 01:32:00,640 --> 01:32:03,800 Your talents hack My hack of your hack would be you have to 1731 01:32:03,800 --> 01:32:06,920 pick two from whatever archetype you picked and then one from any 1732 01:32:06,920 --> 01:32:08,520 of them. Because I think that's like 1733 01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:11,880 because you can pick a talent from like each of the 1734 01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:13,360 personalities gets a different archetype. 1735 01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:15,600 Did I understand that correctly? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1736 01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:19,440 So to keep that kind of variability and talents, I'd be 1737 01:32:19,440 --> 01:32:21,680 like, yeah, if you're going to get 3 talents, you can pick two 1738 01:32:21,680 --> 01:32:23,840 from your class and you can pick one from any other one, you 1739 01:32:23,840 --> 01:32:25,960 know? I don't mind that but I think 1740 01:32:25,960 --> 01:32:28,800 that's kind of taken up with the basic talents is kind of like 1741 01:32:28,800 --> 01:32:32,400 the the ones that are like for everybody you know because you 1742 01:32:32,400 --> 01:32:34,960 could go Acrobat you could go martial artist, you can do a 1743 01:32:34,960 --> 01:32:37,600 bunch of different stuff to kind of like but, but I I mean I 1744 01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:39,160 think yours is fine too. I think being able to pick 1745 01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:41,720 another one is really interesting, but I think being 1746 01:32:42,320 --> 01:32:47,880 picking if your character is built as an archetype and you 1747 01:32:47,880 --> 01:32:50,160 pick something that's like very antithetical to your archetype, 1748 01:32:50,160 --> 01:32:52,760 I think that you know, I mean we could do whatever but. 1749 01:32:53,640 --> 01:32:55,320 Yeah. But yeah, I mean, I guess they 1750 01:32:55,320 --> 01:32:57,800 are like, I'm just thinking of like, well, when you have the 1751 01:32:57,800 --> 01:33:02,920 three separate. Yeah, ego selves, yeah, I guess 1752 01:33:02,920 --> 01:33:04,520 they are three different classes. 1753 01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:06,840 It's not just like the same class, but gets a different 1754 01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:08,200 talent. So I guess, yeah, that's where I 1755 01:33:08,200 --> 01:33:10,240 was approaching it from. It's like, oh, you want to keep 1756 01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:11,920 that option open? That makes sense as a 1757 01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:12,760 variability. Yeah. 1758 01:33:12,760 --> 01:33:15,480 Having one is just like a yeah, do a do a throwaway one. 1759 01:33:15,480 --> 01:33:18,200 I think that would be cool. It would be interesting for 1760 01:33:18,200 --> 01:33:20,760 sure. Or even when you're hacking it, 1761 01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:23,400 you could just have like special, like a like a pool of 1762 01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:25,480 special talents everyone could take too, if you wanted to do 1763 01:33:25,480 --> 01:33:26,760 that. Yeah, yeah. 1764 01:33:27,080 --> 01:33:28,760 Yeah, yeah, levels and experience. 1765 01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:32,200 There are no traditional levels, usually simply returning 1766 01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:34,000 homeworks. To that end, the game is 1767 01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:38,200 designed for one shot play. However, if you do survive each, 1768 01:33:40,440 --> 01:33:42,280 if you just sort of each archetype that returns to the 1769 01:33:42,280 --> 01:33:45,120 city alive can add an additional talent to the roster, either a 1770 01:33:45,120 --> 01:33:48,600 basic talent OR special talent. So there there is no leveling, 1771 01:33:48,880 --> 01:33:51,320 it's designed for one shot play. But if you do survive and want 1772 01:33:51,320 --> 01:33:55,320 to do campaign play, just add a basic or talent for each of the 1773 01:33:55,320 --> 01:33:57,240 archetypes that comes back. So if one of them dies out 1774 01:33:57,240 --> 01:34:01,320 there, or just pick because we're not doing that as a group 1775 01:34:01,320 --> 01:34:04,560 here. Name your character, you have 1776 01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:06,120 your skills, you have everything. 1777 01:34:06,720 --> 01:34:10,160 Roll on the following charts to determine your funds, your 1778 01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:13,560 rations. You start with any extra gear. 1779 01:34:14,720 --> 01:34:18,800 Interesting stuff here. Climbing ropes, XO glue, shield 1780 01:34:18,920 --> 01:34:20,640 it. The other Here's another thing. 1781 01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:24,880 So once we hit extra gear, see how there's like numbers next to 1782 01:34:24,880 --> 01:34:28,920 all of it. At no point does that explain is 1783 01:34:28,920 --> 01:34:31,680 it is explain what the fuck those numbers are at all, ever. 1784 01:34:32,960 --> 01:34:36,200 I mean, clearly we know what it is because we know, because 1785 01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:38,400 we're smart, teach RPG people. So what do you think it is? 1786 01:34:39,160 --> 01:34:42,320 Wait, are they page number or? Nope, that's what I talk to. 1787 01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:45,160 Well, how many letters? How many numbers is it? 1788 01:34:45,800 --> 01:34:50,960 Oh, it's three. Yeah, it's the three dice. 1789 01:34:51,440 --> 01:34:53,960 So it's AD 666 table. Yeah, yeah. 1790 01:34:53,960 --> 01:34:57,600 The entire back is like one giant D666 table. 1791 01:34:59,400 --> 01:35:01,960 Yeah, it's true. Yeah, so this is just 1792 01:35:01,960 --> 01:35:06,840 referencing where you can find that in the back D666 table. 1793 01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:12,040 That's not no, that's not how things work, you know, right? 1794 01:35:12,360 --> 01:35:15,600 I honestly, literally they do such a good job of like little 1795 01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:18,880 boxes and explainers just how like a little box like right 1796 01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:22,600 here boop that says with an arrow pointing to one of these 1797 01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:25,640 that says D66 table starting on page blah, you know. 1798 01:35:27,200 --> 01:35:28,840 But I do like that they're all listed here. 1799 01:35:28,840 --> 01:35:30,960 I like that you can reference them in the back of the table. 1800 01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:34,400 I like that. It's interesting we get to that 1801 01:35:34,400 --> 01:35:37,320 Add a specialty item, so extra gear. 1802 01:35:37,320 --> 01:35:40,320 You roll 3D6 twice to add two of those. 1803 01:35:40,600 --> 01:35:43,440 Add 1 specialty item to your inventory like a meat hook or an 1804 01:35:43,440 --> 01:35:45,200 Obsidian knuckles or something like that. 1805 01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:49,120 This is another one of those yeah weapons. 1806 01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:51,960 Then roll 3D6 for one basic primary weapon. 1807 01:35:53,800 --> 01:35:59,280 There's also is the OK, so it says weapons with the two dashes 1808 01:35:59,280 --> 01:36:03,120 are two handed weapons. Weapons with a like a little 1809 01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:08,680 arrow symbol are range weapons and use the range weapon rules. 1810 01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:13,080 Poison weapons do an additional point of damage the following 1811 01:36:13,080 --> 01:36:16,400 combat round. OK so here's my problem with 1812 01:36:16,400 --> 01:36:20,280 this. You see how it says that this is 1813 01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:24,040 a 2 handed weapon right? And then this is a range weapon, 1814 01:36:25,280 --> 01:36:26,880 right? Right. 1815 01:36:27,320 --> 01:36:30,920 There's a list here, but if we actually get to the D66 table in 1816 01:36:30,920 --> 01:36:35,400 the back, right, when you actually see weapons that are 1817 01:36:35,400 --> 01:36:39,440 like range and stuff like that, this is fungi and plants. 1818 01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:44,680 Are you still on the bow page? What number is that short bow? 1819 01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:48,840 Oh, I'm not. I'm on page 110, which is where 1820 01:36:48,840 --> 01:36:55,560 unique weapons and armor is in the. 153 OK, where's #153? 1821 01:36:55,560 --> 01:36:58,920 So here's my problem with that. All right. 1822 01:36:59,080 --> 01:37:05,840 When we look at 153, OK, see what it says under 153? 1823 01:37:07,800 --> 01:37:13,120 Under 153 it says Right short bow, common weapon distance. 1824 01:37:13,120 --> 01:37:15,560 Distance right? There's a reference here. 1825 01:37:15,560 --> 01:37:17,320 Right here it says common weapons in armor. 1826 01:37:17,320 --> 01:37:22,200 It says 2 dashes is A2 handed weapon and then the arrow is a 1827 01:37:22,200 --> 01:37:23,680 distance weapon. Right. 1828 01:37:24,280 --> 01:37:28,600 OK, this is supposed to be something that denotes distance 1829 01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:31,760 weapon, so that you don't really have to write distance weapon, 1830 01:37:31,760 --> 01:37:32,800 right? Oh. 1831 01:37:34,120 --> 01:37:36,760 Yeah, right. So then how come on everyone 1832 01:37:36,760 --> 01:37:39,120 that's got an arrow, it says distance. 1833 01:37:39,920 --> 01:37:44,080 What's the point of having the symbol if you then list what the 1834 01:37:44,080 --> 01:37:45,360 symbol is? Supposed to denote anyway? 1835 01:37:45,400 --> 01:37:50,200 Listen, if you weren't sure. You know what I'm saying? 1836 01:37:50,440 --> 01:37:54,000 Like that's not too like that's. I mean the melee, it says melee, 1837 01:37:54,280 --> 01:37:56,560 and then there's the two. That means it's two handed. 1838 01:37:56,560 --> 01:37:58,840 That totally makes sense. But the fact that the distance 1839 01:37:58,840 --> 01:38:01,080 just means it's range, and then you have a symbol that also 1840 01:38:01,080 --> 01:38:03,160 means range for all of them makes no sense to have both. 1841 01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:05,600 Yeah, no, I agree. I'm just saying it's like, you 1842 01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:06,920 know, if you're just not sure you know. 1843 01:38:08,080 --> 01:38:09,200 All right. As long as we're on the same 1844 01:38:09,200 --> 01:38:11,920 page. OK, we're about done, I think. 1845 01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:16,800 Yeah, So this is all starting weapons. 1846 01:38:16,800 --> 01:38:20,360 This is all the optional accessories, armor, bling, 1847 01:38:20,360 --> 01:38:23,360 distinctive features if you want like missing, missing eye, 1848 01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:24,960 broken antenna, things like that. 1849 01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:30,200 Those are all optional things that you can have and then 1850 01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:32,520 creature features. So this literally just go 1851 01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:38,600 straight into the Beastie area. Were there any beasts that you 1852 01:38:38,600 --> 01:38:40,480 really liked a lot? Did you go through this part? 1853 01:38:41,240 --> 01:38:48,640 Yeah, hold on. Let me think of the think, which 1854 01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:52,600 was the squiddy Octopussy 1. Oh, I don't know. 1855 01:38:52,600 --> 01:38:55,360 Will you look up the Octopussy and I'll say I do really like 1856 01:38:55,360 --> 01:38:56,920 the cultists. I didn't mean for it to come out 1857 01:38:56,920 --> 01:38:59,840 like that. It just meant like, oh the the 1858 01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:03,080 the tunnel thrasher. I really just liked the art on 1859 01:39:03,080 --> 01:39:05,360 76. Yeah, I I kind of want to scroll 1860 01:39:05,360 --> 01:39:07,600 through the whole thing. The cultists of the shimmer. 1861 01:39:07,600 --> 01:39:09,480 These are like. The cultists that get on too. 1862 01:39:09,640 --> 01:39:11,480 Oh dude. And that full page. 1863 01:39:11,520 --> 01:39:13,880 The art is with the Cloak and shit. 1864 01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:16,320 So cool. But these are basically like 1865 01:39:16,320 --> 01:39:21,200 Rhones that like left the colony a while ago and started their 1866 01:39:21,200 --> 01:39:23,960 own shit. They worship a false queen. 1867 01:39:24,160 --> 01:39:25,920 I I really like them a lot. They're cool. 1868 01:39:26,920 --> 01:39:30,200 The death jacket is a really, really gorgeous piece of art. 1869 01:39:30,200 --> 01:39:33,240 Obviously it's like a it's like a yellow jacket kind of 1870 01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:35,200 situation that the death jacket is cool. 1871 01:39:35,320 --> 01:39:37,760 I love the armor on. I just thought the name was 1872 01:39:37,760 --> 01:39:40,600 because his jacket was so fucking sick, you know? 1873 01:39:41,320 --> 01:39:43,880 Oh, you didn't, are you? Is that a real thing that you're 1874 01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:45,480 doing? No, and that's not real thing. 1875 01:39:45,480 --> 01:39:46,440 OK. All right. 1876 01:39:46,560 --> 01:39:47,560 All right. All right. 1877 01:39:47,760 --> 01:39:49,680 And where can you switch to the? Armor with like 2. 1878 01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:56,640 Other mindset I do like the small shimmer dragon. 1879 01:39:56,640 --> 01:39:59,440 It's a dragon, but this is clearly just like a salamander 1880 01:39:59,440 --> 01:40:01,720 situation. But for the for bug sized 1881 01:40:01,720 --> 01:40:04,000 things, that's a dragon. I really like that a lot. 1882 01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:07,520 And Arc again, Arc's great. The exoskeleton's cool. 1883 01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:10,160 It's like a Roan skeleton that's just been taken over by fungi. 1884 01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:12,440 It's very. What's that called? 1885 01:40:12,960 --> 01:40:15,200 Like the the Cordyceps kind of situation. 1886 01:40:15,200 --> 01:40:20,920 Yeah, The Last of Us, Yeah.

It really breaks it down by like 1938 01:42:57,840 --> 01:43:00,600 type by area. I do really like the way that 1939 01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:03,280 they wrote these adventures because they're more of like 1940 01:43:05,120 --> 01:43:07,760 it's not like 5 E like you have to do this and then do this and 1941 01:43:07,760 --> 01:43:10,600 do this like and if they do this and the characters, the 1942 01:43:10,600 --> 01:43:13,120 characters will probably do this and if they do then they have 1943 01:43:13,120 --> 01:43:17,000 ADC 15 to do this now it's it's it's it's an area. 1944 01:43:17,480 --> 01:43:20,480 It's points of interest. It's things that they might see 1945 01:43:21,280 --> 01:43:23,240 and that's it. Like they basically it's it's 1946 01:43:23,240 --> 01:43:27,360 it's the Nate dream style. Just like say what's there and 1947 01:43:27,360 --> 01:43:29,520 describe the things that are in there and let the characters 1948 01:43:29,520 --> 01:43:31,400 decide how they react. You know it. 1949 01:43:31,680 --> 01:43:34,280 Is funny running adventures that are like, oh, your characters 1950 01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:36,280 will probably do this and then you should do this because they 1951 01:43:36,280 --> 01:43:38,320 never do that. They never do what's written 1952 01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:41,200 there. No, but also no. 1953 01:43:41,200 --> 01:43:44,960 But one of the things I hate about that is it it's whether 1954 01:43:44,960 --> 01:43:48,560 consciously or subconsciously, GMs will kind of like try to 1955 01:43:48,880 --> 01:43:51,440 push the players there because that's what the event tells them 1956 01:43:51,440 --> 01:43:53,960 they need to do. Yeah, and and I just don't like 1957 01:43:53,960 --> 01:43:56,960 that. So we get to the Egg Hunt, which 1958 01:43:56,960 --> 01:44:02,440 is actually one of the solo missions. 1959 01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:06,880 And they specifically say that this is based on the Delve, your 1960 01:44:06,880 --> 01:44:09,200 own dungeon book. But this has been made 1961 01:44:09,200 --> 01:44:10,800 multiplayer and I really like that. 1962 01:44:10,800 --> 01:44:13,680 There's options to both play it as the solo adventure and as a 1963 01:44:13,680 --> 01:44:15,760 regular adventure. I really like that a lot. 1964 01:44:16,640 --> 01:44:18,920 The Lost City is the other one, I think that's I think that's in 1965 01:44:18,920 --> 01:44:22,480 here too as a as an adventure I think. 1966 01:44:24,600 --> 01:44:28,320 And then the Insectopedia which is just the D6X table of but 1967 01:44:28,320 --> 01:44:29,920 they break. What's interesting is they break 1968 01:44:29,920 --> 01:44:37,040 it down into the entire table. Into weapons are all the ones 1969 01:44:37,320 --> 01:44:39,800 like the common weapons. Unique weapons and armor are in 1970 01:44:39,800 --> 01:44:48,680 the twos parts and pieces. So like antenna, boramites, 1971 01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:52,520 flashy claws, things like that are the threes, items and 1972 01:44:52,520 --> 01:44:56,880 equipment, alarm, horn, candle, car box are in the fours and the 1973 01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:58,160 thing too. Like we said before, like 1974 01:44:58,200 --> 01:45:01,280 everything that had a number previously has an entry here 1975 01:45:01,280 --> 01:45:03,600 with more stuff. It's the stats of whatever it 1976 01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:07,400 was, it's a little blurb, a line or two of whatever it was. 1977 01:45:07,400 --> 01:45:10,440 So even if you got a short bow it gives you more info. 1978 01:45:10,440 --> 01:45:12,480 It gives you the actual little like quote UN quote stat block 1979 01:45:12,480 --> 01:45:17,000 for the item. Fives are also the items, and 1980 01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:19,360 then sixes are your fungies. Implants. 1981 01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:22,800 I really like that they did the whole D66 table, breaking up 1982 01:45:22,800 --> 01:45:24,600 each number into a different kind of section. 1983 01:45:25,200 --> 01:45:27,880 Yeah, it does make it a little bit easier to navigate. 1984 01:45:28,960 --> 01:45:32,040 I mean, also there's like 216 things on that table, so yeah. 1985 01:45:32,440 --> 01:45:35,480 Yeah, there's a there's a a merchant inventory as well, 1986 01:45:35,480 --> 01:45:38,960 which I like. There's a bonus Roan archetype, 1987 01:45:39,080 --> 01:45:41,000 which I really like, just tucked back here in the back. 1988 01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:45,720 The the veteran, you only start with two archetypes, because one 1989 01:45:45,720 --> 01:45:49,720 of yours died previously. And then there's some other, 1990 01:45:49,880 --> 01:45:52,400 yeah, yeah. Then there's some other skill 1991 01:45:52,520 --> 01:45:55,000 improvements and and and tweaks and changes to which I really 1992 01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:57,760 enjoy. And there's also the the 1993 01:45:57,800 --> 01:46:00,440 generator in the back uses playing cards for creatures and 1994 01:46:00,440 --> 01:46:03,960 features to actually create, like an Oracle or a dungeon 1995 01:46:03,960 --> 01:46:07,560 generator so that you can just run solo stuff on your own 1996 01:46:07,560 --> 01:46:09,240 without having to have an adventure at all, which is 1997 01:46:09,240 --> 01:46:13,200 really interesting. So it even it has like creatures 1998 01:46:13,200 --> 01:46:17,320 are heart cards, features are spade cards and it's got type of 1999 01:46:17,320 --> 01:46:20,440 area, number of exits and good and bad are black or red cards 2000 01:46:20,440 --> 01:46:22,080 or spade and heart cards and things like that. 2001 01:46:22,960 --> 01:46:27,240 And then your diamonds are random things and your clubs are 2002 01:46:27,240 --> 01:46:30,200 choices and curiosities. I think that's super clever to 2003 01:46:30,200 --> 01:46:32,640 have like a a car deck and that just builds it up for you. 2004 01:46:33,960 --> 01:46:36,840 And then there's a bunch of sound sight smells, just a bunch 2005 01:46:36,840 --> 01:46:38,560 more tables, and all of them are good. 2006 01:46:38,840 --> 01:46:41,120 Loot and search table, traps and hazards. 2007 01:46:41,120 --> 01:46:44,640 The quick search tables that we talked about before, 3D6 2008 01:46:44,640 --> 01:46:47,800 encounter tables, creature tables, discovery tables, and 2009 01:46:47,800 --> 01:46:50,040 then the character sheet, which makes no fucking sense. 2010 01:46:50,240 --> 01:46:55,560 So first of all, if you have 3 characters listed on here as a 2011 01:46:55,560 --> 01:46:58,080 three circle so you can fill in your stats, just have three sets 2012 01:46:58,080 --> 01:47:01,600 of circles because none of the rest of it matters. 2013 01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:04,440 Because it's not like you need three item sections because the 2014 01:47:04,440 --> 01:47:06,080 body is still the same. Right. 2015 01:47:06,960 --> 01:47:09,520 Right, but the other thing that drives me nuts is that the 2016 01:47:09,560 --> 01:47:14,120 circles on the character sheet are not in the same order as the 2017 01:47:14,800 --> 01:47:18,640 characters in the book. So like when you look at a 2018 01:47:18,640 --> 01:47:21,760 character, for example, I'll hold it up to the screen. 2019 01:47:21,840 --> 01:47:25,120 So when you get to the character creation section right, it's 2020 01:47:25,120 --> 01:47:32,440 listed as right Accuracy, Into Intellect, Charisma, Durability, 2021 01:47:32,440 --> 01:47:34,760 Power, and Speed. But the character she has it 2022 01:47:34,760 --> 01:47:40,000 listed as Power, Intellect, Speed, Charisma, Accuracy, 2023 01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:41,080 Durability. It's not even that It's 2024 01:47:41,080 --> 01:47:42,760 backwards. It's a completely different 2025 01:47:42,760 --> 01:47:46,400 order. Yeah, yeah. 2026 01:47:46,560 --> 01:47:47,720 Why? Why? 2027 01:47:48,160 --> 01:47:50,680 I don't know. And again, if you're going to 2028 01:47:50,680 --> 01:47:53,400 have the character need three things, the body is all the 2029 01:47:53,400 --> 01:47:56,280 same, so you don't need anything else because the body is all the 2030 01:47:56,280 --> 01:48:00,320 same but have all of your. But I guess you need the attack 2031 01:48:00,320 --> 01:48:02,800 and defense is different for each archetype too. 2032 01:48:05,960 --> 01:48:08,400 Oh yeah, it is. It is 3 sheets for everything. 2033 01:48:08,480 --> 01:48:09,120 Yeah. Yeah. 2034 01:48:09,960 --> 01:48:11,680 Anyway, so that's the end. That's the game. 2035 01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:13,520 Yeah. All right. 2036 01:48:13,520 --> 01:48:16,040 So let's hop straight into the into the review. 2037 01:48:18,920 --> 01:48:21,320 Oh, do we review games later? Yeah, we do actually. 2038 01:48:21,360 --> 01:48:22,040 Yeah. OK. 2039 01:48:22,200 --> 01:48:23,520 OK. We should do that. 2040 01:48:24,400 --> 01:48:27,520 Let's do it so I know we haven't done this in a while, so quick 2041 01:48:27,520 --> 01:48:30,680 explainer. We have 5 different metrics, 2042 01:48:30,680 --> 01:48:33,640 each one to a value of 10 to our possible 50 points. 2043 01:48:34,240 --> 01:48:37,840 There's art and layout, which is the art and layout of the book, 2044 01:48:37,840 --> 01:48:42,040 the usability, which is if things are in the order that 2045 01:48:42,040 --> 01:48:45,920 makes it easier to understand, if things are bookmarked, if 2046 01:48:45,920 --> 01:48:49,880 things have hyperlinks, how How easy is the book to use and the 2047 01:48:49,880 --> 01:48:52,760 PDF to use? The rule set is if it's a new 2048 01:48:52,760 --> 01:48:54,760 rule set, do we like it? If it's adapted role set, how 2049 01:48:54,760 --> 01:48:57,800 well is it adapted? Originality is exactly what it 2050 01:48:57,800 --> 01:49:00,480 is. Originality across lore, 2051 01:49:00,480 --> 01:49:05,880 mechanics, art, everything. Value is the bang for your buck. 2052 01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:10,480 It is not only the cost of the game, but how much you get for 2053 01:49:10,480 --> 01:49:13,200 what you spend and how much more is out there for you to be able 2054 01:49:13,200 --> 01:49:16,320 to play with. So, art and layout, What are 2055 01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:21,200 your thoughts? I think that the art is really, 2056 01:49:21,360 --> 01:49:24,400 really, really like very good. You know, It's great. 2057 01:49:24,600 --> 01:49:26,040 I really enjoy it. I like the style. 2058 01:49:26,040 --> 01:49:28,720 I like how much there is. I like that the page Enders with 2059 01:49:28,720 --> 01:49:31,000 the numbers are the little mushrooms. 2060 01:49:31,240 --> 01:49:35,920 There's some good spot art. There's very rarely a page with 2061 01:49:36,040 --> 01:49:39,480 anything without anything on it. I mean with the numbers thing at 2062 01:49:39,480 --> 01:49:43,600 the bottom, there's no pages with nothing on it As for 2063 01:49:43,600 --> 01:49:44,720 layout. And the bar. 2064 01:49:45,120 --> 01:49:47,760 And the bar at the top, yeah. As for layout, and I like that. 2065 01:49:47,760 --> 01:49:49,320 I think it's a big bow. It's like I like opening a 2066 01:49:49,320 --> 01:49:54,320 booking and knowing what section I'm in, but the layout I think 2067 01:49:54,320 --> 01:49:57,080 is good. I like a lot of the graphics. 2068 01:49:57,080 --> 01:50:00,240 I like the use of the blue and pink icons. 2069 01:50:00,760 --> 01:50:08,640 I wish that those icons were on the character sheet, but I and 2070 01:50:08,640 --> 01:50:13,360 I'd like that it is single column and it's not like over 2071 01:50:13,360 --> 01:50:15,040 engineered than the layout department. 2072 01:50:15,080 --> 01:50:18,440 I do think it does get kind of wall of texty sometimes, and I 2073 01:50:18,440 --> 01:50:22,640 think there's some inconsistencies with like when 2074 01:50:22,640 --> 01:50:26,000 things are bolded and are not bolded is the one that's coming 2075 01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:29,360 to mind. But yeah, I think it does fairly 2076 01:50:29,360 --> 01:50:31,160 well. I would give this like a really 2077 01:50:31,400 --> 01:50:33,960 solid. I mean, I think the art bumps up 2078 01:50:33,960 --> 01:50:37,960 a little bit. I'm like a high 7 low 8:00-ish 2079 01:50:37,960 --> 01:50:40,400 for this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2080 01:50:40,400 --> 01:50:42,040 I I think I'm about the same spot. 2081 01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:47,800 I think the layout issues, so the overall layout I think is is 2082 01:50:47,880 --> 01:50:49,080 great. I really enjoy it. 2083 01:50:49,440 --> 01:50:52,280 I think every page feel none, none of them feel crowded. 2084 01:50:52,280 --> 01:50:54,400 I think that the the typeface is really readable. 2085 01:50:54,680 --> 01:50:56,920 I think that the pages are really legible. 2086 01:50:56,920 --> 01:51:01,040 I like the size even of the of the fonts, the color choices. 2087 01:51:01,440 --> 01:51:04,360 There was never a time where I was lost in any of that. 2088 01:51:05,560 --> 01:51:08,480 I like the, I like the the bar across the top where telling you 2089 01:51:08,480 --> 01:51:11,240 what section you're in. Like you said, I love the the 2090 01:51:11,240 --> 01:51:14,920 stuff in the corners. There are, as we said, some 2091 01:51:14,920 --> 01:51:17,720 inconsistencies with bolding. There's inconsistency with like 2092 01:51:17,720 --> 01:51:20,240 the weird decision on some of the typefaces. 2093 01:51:21,080 --> 01:51:25,320 There's parts where it says page parts where it says P like some 2094 01:51:25,320 --> 01:51:27,080 things italicize, something's not italicize. 2095 01:51:27,080 --> 01:51:29,520 So there's a little bit of it's it's less inconsistency. 2096 01:51:29,520 --> 01:51:32,600 Like I think it's just like things that like just got missed 2097 01:51:32,760 --> 01:51:35,800 kind of more than anything. I don't think it's like a 2098 01:51:35,880 --> 01:51:39,000 intentional differences. I think it's just some some 2099 01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:41,800 missed inconsistencies, but overall I think the layout's 2100 01:51:41,800 --> 01:51:43,440 really good and I think the art's fantastic. 2101 01:51:43,560 --> 01:51:49,960 I really, really, really love the style. 2102 01:51:50,320 --> 01:51:53,560 I like the color, I like the halftone, I like everything. 2103 01:51:53,560 --> 01:51:55,840 So I think 8. I think it's an easy eight for 2104 01:51:55,840 --> 01:51:59,760 me because I think the layout is is good and the art's great. 2105 01:51:59,760 --> 01:52:01,840 So yeah, I think 8 works really well for me. 2106 01:52:06,040 --> 01:52:08,040 Let's open this up. Usability. 2107 01:52:10,720 --> 01:52:12,400 OK, so. So. 2108 01:52:13,400 --> 01:52:14,440 Yeah, You. You. 2109 01:52:15,360 --> 01:52:18,360 OK, so there are things in here that are great. 2110 01:52:18,560 --> 01:52:20,880 I know I referenced this for layout and art, but I'm also 2111 01:52:20,880 --> 01:52:22,520 going to reference this for usability. 2112 01:52:22,680 --> 01:52:26,600 The blue and pink icons and how they're referred to, I think it 2113 01:52:26,600 --> 01:52:28,560 works. You know, maybe I'm not on your 2114 01:52:28,560 --> 01:52:31,800 first pass of the reading this, but I think subsequent passes 2115 01:52:31,800 --> 01:52:37,560 you it makes sense, right? The the kind of blue boxes of 2116 01:52:37,560 --> 01:52:40,680 important stuff that are, they're not super often, but 2117 01:52:40,680 --> 01:52:41,640 they're there. And when you see them, you're 2118 01:52:41,640 --> 01:52:44,080 like, oh, that's a thing I should read really well, 2119 01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:45,640 execute. We see a lot of different books 2120 01:52:45,640 --> 01:52:48,440 do something like that. I mean, and sometimes it's 2121 01:52:48,440 --> 01:52:51,080 really successful and a lot of times we're like, well, that 2122 01:52:51,080 --> 01:52:52,880 doesn't really stand down at all or it looks bad. 2123 01:52:52,880 --> 01:52:54,800 And this one, it it worked. It looks great. 2124 01:52:55,960 --> 01:53:01,040 I think the book is the order to be moved around to make it more 2125 01:53:01,040 --> 01:53:05,520 immediately usable to like a player, and also it has to know 2126 01:53:05,520 --> 01:53:08,000 inline hyperlinks. It does not have any bookmarks 2127 01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:10,360 and the physical book doesn't have any ribbons, right? 2128 01:53:11,560 --> 01:53:12,800 It's yeah, it's. It's. 2129 01:53:12,840 --> 01:53:17,160 It's, it's. It's drive through RPGPOD. 2130 01:53:17,440 --> 01:53:19,760 Oh yeah. It's APOD in which I mean you 2131 01:53:19,760 --> 01:53:22,320 know I say oh it's APOD but drive through RP GS, PO, DS have 2132 01:53:22,320 --> 01:53:24,760 gotten a ton better in the past two or three years. 2133 01:53:24,760 --> 01:53:26,520 I'm. Fine, Lulu. 2134 01:53:26,520 --> 01:53:30,040 This still does better. Yeah, if drive Through could do 2135 01:53:30,040 --> 01:53:32,920 a matte cover, yeah, I think it would be totally fine. 2136 01:53:33,160 --> 01:53:36,320 I super agree my biggest issue with drive through RPGs POD is 2137 01:53:36,320 --> 01:53:39,360 how glossy they are. The gloss is terrible. 2138 01:53:39,360 --> 01:53:41,320 It's gotten a little bit better on the paperbacks. 2139 01:53:41,360 --> 01:53:42,960 I mean, I I say that and then I can. 2140 01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:45,240 It's like a fucking mirror. But it's fine. 2141 01:53:45,240 --> 01:53:46,680 I. Think it's still glossy? 2142 01:53:46,680 --> 01:53:50,120 It's just not the same material they were using like two years 2143 01:53:50,120 --> 01:53:54,960 ago, yeah. I will say, I will say. 2144 01:53:55,280 --> 01:53:58,480 Say it. In this book, in this book, the 2145 01:53:58,480 --> 01:54:02,360 character sheet sucks. And this book, the character 2146 01:54:02,360 --> 01:54:04,440 sheet's great. It does exactly what I said. 2147 01:54:04,440 --> 01:54:08,720 It's three. It's, it's three per come on 2148 01:54:09,160 --> 01:54:10,520 right here. Look at look at. 2149 01:54:11,080 --> 01:54:12,920 Yeah, it's not. Focusing the way that makes more 2150 01:54:12,920 --> 01:54:16,120 sense. Yeah, it's 3 sheets in one page 2151 01:54:16,120 --> 01:54:18,320 and it's got the the things in the correct order. 2152 01:54:18,520 --> 01:54:22,480 I will say that is better there. Well, too bad it's not in the 2153 01:54:22,480 --> 01:54:23,320 not too bad it's not in the book. 2154 01:54:23,320 --> 01:54:26,000 Yeah, it's not in the book. That we actually used, Yeah. 2155 01:54:26,280 --> 01:54:28,960 This is in the the The Delver book. 2156 01:54:29,400 --> 01:54:32,120 Yeah, that's the Delver book and cool book and you should get it. 2157 01:54:32,120 --> 01:54:35,360 But like if I or any other person who's going to pick up 2158 01:54:35,360 --> 01:54:37,960 just the game there, It's very rare that I pick up a game and 2159 01:54:37,960 --> 01:54:41,040 adventure at the same time. Sometimes I do, but I am a 2160 01:54:41,040 --> 01:54:44,120 person who does this. But like, for a regular person, 2161 01:54:44,120 --> 01:54:46,720 if you're just going to pick up the book, like, I will say that 2162 01:54:46,720 --> 01:54:49,200 Also that character sheet is a knock on usability. 2163 01:54:49,200 --> 01:54:52,800 Like you track three different stats or three different like 2164 01:54:52,960 --> 01:54:55,280 personalities on one character sheet. 2165 01:54:55,280 --> 01:54:57,480 Like that's a usability issue, you know? 2166 01:54:57,560 --> 01:55:02,320 OK. I will also say though, there 2167 01:55:02,320 --> 01:55:05,200 are three different kinds of character sheets downloadable 2168 01:55:05,200 --> 01:55:07,280 for free from the website. OK. 2169 01:55:07,720 --> 01:55:09,400 Cool. One from this book, which is 2170 01:55:09,400 --> 01:55:12,200 terrible. Then there's another one that 2171 01:55:12,200 --> 01:55:17,640 has like a really. I'm just going to fucking 2172 01:55:17,640 --> 01:55:20,200 download it and I'll actually show it to I don't want to 2173 01:55:20,200 --> 01:55:24,840 print. Let's call it whatever. 2174 01:55:28,520 --> 01:55:34,440 Where did it download to? OK, let's look at this real 2175 01:55:34,440 --> 01:55:37,920 quick. So one that actually looks like 2176 01:55:38,160 --> 01:55:42,360 a cool mushroom stalactite situation where it's got like 2177 01:55:42,360 --> 01:55:45,920 the type at the top, the name at the bottom, all your stats, 2178 01:55:45,920 --> 01:55:48,360 everything, your last gasp and talent, abilities, equipment, 2179 01:55:48,360 --> 01:55:50,040 armor. I really like this one a lot. 2180 01:55:50,040 --> 01:55:54,560 I think it's super viby And then you got that this one where 2181 01:55:54,560 --> 01:55:57,600 again on the same page, none of they're not in the correct 2182 01:55:57,600 --> 01:56:02,880 order, whatever. And then and then this is the 2183 01:56:02,880 --> 01:56:07,400 one, the third one is the one that's in the in this book where 2184 01:56:07,400 --> 01:56:11,040 it's pretty much just squares and circles, but it's got three 2185 01:56:11,040 --> 01:56:14,800 things listed. It's got time rations and amber, 2186 01:56:14,800 --> 01:56:16,360 amber and stuff like that like all the way through. 2187 01:56:16,520 --> 01:56:19,280 So it is, it's it's a nice mix because it goes across all three 2188 01:56:19,280 --> 01:56:20,360 with just equipment at the bottom. 2189 01:56:20,360 --> 01:56:23,200 This I think is the character sheet that's going to give you 2190 01:56:23,200 --> 01:56:28,440 the most usability. But I love the first one that 2191 01:56:28,440 --> 01:56:31,400 actually has more of like the vibes with the the art and stuff 2192 01:56:31,400 --> 01:56:33,560 like that. If I was running this, I'm 2193 01:56:33,560 --> 01:56:36,360 printing out the the vibey one for my table. 2194 01:56:36,360 --> 01:56:39,880 You know, like, yeah. But if I'm going solo, I totally 2195 01:56:39,880 --> 01:56:41,600 understand why this is one that they put in the book. 2196 01:56:41,600 --> 01:56:45,920 It's definitely the most usable 1 anyway. 2197 01:56:45,920 --> 01:56:47,800 So for usability, what are your thoughts? 2198 01:56:48,400 --> 01:56:53,000 I'm thinking light 7. Yeah, I was. 2199 01:56:53,040 --> 01:56:55,800 I was between 6:00 and 7:00 on it because between. 6:00 and 2200 01:56:55,800 --> 01:56:59,680 7:00 as well, so you pick. OK. 2201 01:56:59,680 --> 01:57:02,920 Well, let's go through it. I think that as far as like the 2202 01:57:02,920 --> 01:57:07,880 book itself, I think I I just think that the character 2203 01:57:07,880 --> 01:57:12,600 creation stuff could be earlier with some of this stuff like 2204 01:57:12,640 --> 01:57:15,520 like the nectar and movement shit could be after. 2205 01:57:15,520 --> 01:57:17,720 But that doesn't it doesn't bother me because they really 2206 01:57:17,720 --> 01:57:19,480 lumped all of characterization into one. 2207 01:57:19,480 --> 01:57:24,520 It's fine. No inline hyperlinks and it is 2208 01:57:24,520 --> 01:57:30,720 130 a 140 pages, no bookmarks in the PDF really drops it down for 2209 01:57:30,720 --> 01:57:32,840 me. Again, the character sheet 2210 01:57:32,840 --> 01:57:35,600 listed in the book is not good, but these are better. 2211 01:57:37,160 --> 01:57:44,120 Yeah. I mean, so from baseline it's 2212 01:57:44,600 --> 01:57:47,040 I'm, I'm at like a six. Let's do a six. 2213 01:57:47,040 --> 01:57:49,320 I I'm the more we're talking about, the more I'm actually 2214 01:57:49,320 --> 01:57:53,080 moving towards 6. Yeah, rule set. 2215 01:57:53,080 --> 01:58:00,000 OK, so I love almost all of it. I think it's really clever. 2216 01:58:00,000 --> 01:58:04,080 Yeah, I think it's really cool. I like, I like this game and I'm 2217 01:58:04,120 --> 01:58:05,840 this is non negative statement for me. 2218 01:58:05,880 --> 01:58:12,160 I am not like amazingly stoked to to run this game, but like I 2219 01:58:12,160 --> 01:58:14,040 think it's really cool. I think to me this very much 2220 01:58:14,040 --> 01:58:16,680 seems like a game that was made originally for solo play and 2221 01:58:17,960 --> 01:58:21,560 then they'd like and then it was just easy to expand to like a 2222 01:58:21,560 --> 01:58:24,960 multiplayer experience. Yeah, I think the rules are 2223 01:58:24,960 --> 01:58:26,600 cool. I have. 2224 01:58:26,600 --> 01:58:30,080 I have no major gripes. I think the way they use the 2225 01:58:30,080 --> 01:58:32,720 three D6 is cool. I got it. 2226 01:58:36,680 --> 01:58:38,440 Yeah, I like it. I like this game. 2227 01:58:38,440 --> 01:58:40,280 If someone was running this, I'd play it for sure. 2228 01:58:40,400 --> 01:58:41,880 I'd be like, yeah, definitely. I want to play this. 2229 01:58:42,720 --> 01:58:45,320 I mean, I would play this a solo game too, especially since I had 2230 01:58:45,320 --> 01:58:46,760 the adventure I. Think actually. 2231 01:58:46,760 --> 01:58:50,520 Personally, I would much, much rather play this as a solo game, 2232 01:58:50,960 --> 01:58:52,440 you know? I think in my head at least, it 2233 01:58:52,440 --> 01:58:54,440 makes a lot more sense as a solo game. 2234 01:58:54,440 --> 01:58:56,400 It flows really well as a solo game. 2235 01:58:57,880 --> 01:58:59,840 But yeah, I like the three. I like the three die. 2236 01:58:59,840 --> 01:59:02,240 Six. I like that the dice mean 2237 01:59:02,240 --> 01:59:05,320 different things. I love the effect die. 2238 01:59:08,280 --> 01:59:12,040 Yeah, so yeah, I mean most of it. 2239 01:59:12,040 --> 01:59:15,160 I really enjoy, you know, I love me a good 3D6 and I'm definitely 2240 01:59:15,160 --> 01:59:18,280 going to steal that effect die for, you know, maybe something 2241 01:59:18,280 --> 01:59:21,160 else I'm working on when I lean towards the solo play with it. 2242 01:59:21,160 --> 01:59:24,080 I think it's really clever. Anyone that uses the two D6 2243 01:59:24,400 --> 01:59:28,360 could just have that 36 and then just turn your bad guys into 2244 01:59:28,400 --> 01:59:31,680 into kind of like an AII. Do like that. 2245 01:59:31,680 --> 01:59:34,560 It's like, yeah, that like that reaction die. 2246 01:59:34,560 --> 01:59:36,760 I'm going to call it that now because it's a better name. 2247 01:59:37,800 --> 01:59:40,040 It's just going to tell you what that enemy does. 2248 01:59:40,040 --> 01:59:42,000 Next turn you're like, oh awesome. 2249 01:59:42,400 --> 01:59:44,960 And you just narrow it down to those two one thing every turn. 2250 01:59:45,680 --> 01:59:50,240 Well, not only that, I really, really, really like that the bad 2251 01:59:50,240 --> 01:59:54,560 guy has as many different types of actions as they have HP, and 2252 01:59:54,560 --> 01:59:59,240 those actions get more like if you really go through the beast 2253 01:59:59,240 --> 02:00:00,520 area. I don't know how much you dug 2254 02:00:00,520 --> 02:00:05,120 into it, but a lot of those action, it makes sense which 2255 02:00:05,120 --> 02:00:08,200 actions are left because a lot of the loved ones are flea or 2256 02:00:08,200 --> 02:00:14,840 rage they really get into. Where you would be if you're 234 2257 02:00:14,840 --> 02:00:17,720 HP down, like getting close to dying and stuff like that, it 2258 02:00:17,720 --> 02:00:21,560 makes a lot of sense, yeah. So I think it's really clever 2259 02:00:21,760 --> 02:00:27,440 that the, like I said that the HP and the number of accident 2260 02:00:27,440 --> 02:00:31,520 stuffers tied together. And I do think that it, as I was 2261 02:00:31,520 --> 02:00:33,160 reading before it ever said anything about solo play. 2262 02:00:33,160 --> 02:00:35,320 I was like man, this would be super easy to do solo, but I 2263 02:00:35,360 --> 02:00:39,440 don't think that the ease in which it becomes solo takes 2264 02:00:39,440 --> 02:00:41,400 anything away from the multiplayer aspect of it. 2265 02:00:41,400 --> 02:00:45,120 I think it's easily still super playable multiplayer and I just 2266 02:00:45,120 --> 02:00:46,720 think the solo is is really well done. 2267 02:00:46,960 --> 02:00:50,680 The only thing, honestly, the only thing that is my huge 2268 02:00:50,680 --> 02:00:55,600 biggest knock on this system is I don't want 3 characters. 2269 02:00:55,640 --> 02:00:57,400 I don't fucking want 3 characters. 2270 02:00:57,400 --> 02:01:00,920 I just genuinely don't. To me again, I don't. 2271 02:01:00,920 --> 02:01:04,320 Yeah, no kidding. My thought from a designer 2272 02:01:04,320 --> 02:01:08,480 perspective is, was there a problem this is trying to fix? 2273 02:01:08,480 --> 02:01:10,640 And to me, I think that answer is yes. 2274 02:01:11,720 --> 02:01:14,760 I they only they're they're weak little bugs with only six HP and 2275 02:01:14,760 --> 02:01:17,440 I want them to last longer. I don't understand how they 2276 02:01:17,440 --> 02:01:19,160 went. OK, give them three distinct 2277 02:01:19,160 --> 02:01:20,440 characters, you know what I mean? 2278 02:01:20,920 --> 02:01:25,760 Like you know again, I already explained my hack I that's how I 2279 02:01:25,760 --> 02:01:28,040 would play the game. That's how I'd play it solo 2. 2280 02:01:28,800 --> 02:01:31,280 I think the only thing that you lose at all is a little bit of 2281 02:01:31,280 --> 02:01:34,040 what you touched on is a little bit of variability. 2282 02:01:34,240 --> 02:01:37,360 But name me another game where you're just get to be 3. 2283 02:01:37,360 --> 02:01:39,840 Like you generally just get one archetype because that's what a 2284 02:01:39,840 --> 02:01:41,640 single person is. They're generally not multiple 2285 02:01:41,640 --> 02:01:43,920 archetypes. So that's my only knock on the 2286 02:01:43,920 --> 02:01:45,520 game at all. I think almost every other 2287 02:01:45,520 --> 02:01:47,800 aspect of the world set I really, really enjoy a lot. 2288 02:01:47,800 --> 02:01:50,320 I think it's really clever. I think it makes sense. 2289 02:01:50,480 --> 02:01:53,400 I love the pink and blue boxes. Once I understood them, I think 2290 02:01:53,400 --> 02:01:57,880 they're it's so good that you can literally roll 2 dice and 2291 02:01:58,400 --> 02:02:00,680 determine if you hit and how much and if they hit and how 2292 02:02:00,680 --> 02:02:02,880 much all in one go. And I really like it and what 2293 02:02:02,880 --> 02:02:04,040 they do next. Super. 2294 02:02:04,040 --> 02:02:08,840 Clark, I. Where are you at with this? 2295 02:02:09,160 --> 02:02:11,520 I think I'm in A7 for this. I like a lot of stuff about it, 2296 02:02:11,520 --> 02:02:13,640 but man, I really don't like having three characters. 2297 02:02:14,080 --> 02:02:16,480 Yeah, I was. I'm kind of at an 8 like I 2298 02:02:16,600 --> 02:02:19,120 really like it a lot. Here's The thing is I really 2299 02:02:19,120 --> 02:02:23,200 like it a lot. I generally I I very I keep 2300 02:02:23,200 --> 02:02:27,280 saying hey I very strongly dislike I hate the three 2301 02:02:27,280 --> 02:02:29,640 character aspect of it. But I also think that like you 2302 02:02:29,640 --> 02:02:33,280 know how long it took me to hack that like to do the way I wanted 2303 02:02:33,280 --> 02:02:36,120 it like like 2 seconds and it doesn't change any part of the 2304 02:02:36,120 --> 02:02:40,400 game like. So I I'm, I'm just debating in 2305 02:02:40,400 --> 02:02:44,040 my mind like how much that knocks it down versus how clever 2306 02:02:44,040 --> 02:02:46,400 and simple I think that the rest of the game is and works out 2307 02:02:46,400 --> 02:02:47,760 right. The rest of the game is clever 2308 02:02:47,760 --> 02:02:50,120 and simple, so I will. Give you that the zone combat 2309 02:02:50,120 --> 02:02:54,400 aspects, I really, really enjoy the bad guy Stat blocks are so 2310 02:02:54,400 --> 02:03:01,080 clever to like to me, like even with with the the three 2311 02:03:01,080 --> 02:03:02,840 archetype thing, I would just get rid of it. 2312 02:03:03,080 --> 02:03:05,920 Ignore it, and to me I feel like it's an 8. 2313 02:03:05,920 --> 02:03:07,520 If you just feel strong with it's a 7. 2314 02:03:07,520 --> 02:03:09,800 We can split the difference. But I I really like this. 2315 02:03:10,000 --> 02:03:12,920 I don't know if I'm at an 8 for this. 2316 02:03:12,920 --> 02:03:16,080 I really don't. You know what? 2317 02:03:16,720 --> 02:03:20,480 Do an 8. Go for the 8 All right? 2318 02:03:20,560 --> 02:03:23,960 It is very simple and clever in almost every other way, so. 2319 02:03:24,840 --> 02:03:28,320 I mean, to me, what really pushed it over is honestly the 2320 02:03:28,400 --> 02:03:31,080 HP for actions for the bad guys. I'm like, I just want that's. 2321 02:03:31,120 --> 02:03:32,480 A pretty good rule. Yeah, that's great. 2322 02:03:32,640 --> 02:03:34,920 You're right, You're. Right, originality. 2323 02:03:35,480 --> 02:03:38,120 I mean, there's a lot of games where people are things, but how 2324 02:03:38,120 --> 02:03:42,040 many are you get to be little Roach bug people with like the 2325 02:03:42,040 --> 02:03:45,960 split personalities and shit. I I think I I think for me the 2326 02:03:45,960 --> 02:03:50,440 originality in in like the dice mechanic how it uses 33D sixes 2327 02:03:50,440 --> 02:03:53,880 and like and once again I've, I mean I've referenced this now 2328 02:03:53,880 --> 02:03:56,320 for three different aspects of this but just because it's so 2329 02:03:56,320 --> 02:04:02,360 good the like color-coded like stat modifiers it is just like 2330 02:04:02,400 --> 02:04:04,640 I'm like oh why have we not been doing this. 2331 02:04:04,880 --> 02:04:06,600 Like you could do this in so many different games and it 2332 02:04:06,600 --> 02:04:09,560 would make them visually so much easier to parse out. 2333 02:04:10,280 --> 02:04:12,400 It's one of those things we all often talk about like low 2334 02:04:12,400 --> 02:04:15,680 hanging fruit and how like some people just grab it and you're 2335 02:04:15,680 --> 02:04:17,920 like that's so obvious and you're a genius for doing it. 2336 02:04:18,000 --> 02:04:20,040 But we all should have been doing this entire time, and this 2337 02:04:20,040 --> 02:04:22,080 is great. Yeah, well, it's kind of how I 2338 02:04:22,080 --> 02:04:24,240 feel about like trophy, where you have like your light and 2339 02:04:24,240 --> 02:04:25,160 your dark eye and stuff like that. 2340 02:04:25,160 --> 02:04:27,600 I think it's it, it it runs into a similar part of the brain. 2341 02:04:28,000 --> 02:04:29,480 OK, so originality, what are you thinking? 2342 02:04:31,640 --> 02:04:33,720 I've been thinking a strong eight for this one, you know. 2343 02:04:33,880 --> 02:04:35,160 Oh, really? That's interesting. 2344 02:04:35,880 --> 02:04:40,280 Yeah, I think bugs. We, we, we we basically flipped 2345 02:04:40,280 --> 02:04:44,120 8778. All right, let's go. 2346 02:04:44,120 --> 02:04:46,680 Oh, you want to go 7 on this one? 2347 02:04:47,040 --> 02:04:49,200 Yeah, I'm OK with that. All right. 2348 02:04:51,080 --> 02:04:53,400 It's just because, like, I mean, I do really like the mechanics 2349 02:04:53,400 --> 02:04:55,720 and stuff like that. Yeah, so I already looked it up. 2350 02:04:55,720 --> 02:05:00,120 I got you. So all right, the deluxe edition 2351 02:05:00,120 --> 02:05:05,120 that I got is an 18 dollar PDF, which is fine. 2352 02:05:05,120 --> 02:05:09,280 It's 120 pages. Pay for your PDFs and I'm sure 2353 02:05:09,280 --> 02:05:12,000 drive through. Take some money off of that soft 2354 02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:17,120 cover $22.00 hardcover standard color, which is what I got, is 2355 02:05:17,120 --> 02:05:21,360 right now on sale $30. Normally 48, but I'm curious how 2356 02:05:21,360 --> 02:05:23,880 often it's if it's really 48. If it's one of those things I 2357 02:05:23,880 --> 02:05:25,520 put 48 but I always leave it at 30. 2358 02:05:25,680 --> 02:05:30,200 You know, like one of those things if you just want the non 2359 02:05:30,760 --> 02:05:34,680 special edition Z inversion, it's only a $10 PDF and it's 2360 02:05:35,040 --> 02:05:40,800 $14.00 for soft cover. And then if you want the Bug Sky 2361 02:05:40,800 --> 02:05:47,040 to shimmer, it's a $10 PDF and a $20 hardcover or a $15 2362 02:05:47,040 --> 02:05:53,360 softcover. And if you want the dual Two way 2363 02:05:54,760 --> 02:06:01,200 Delver Dungeon once, it's $15 PDF with a $20 softcover or 2364 02:06:01,200 --> 02:06:03,480 $20.00 for the PDF and softcover. 2365 02:06:03,840 --> 02:06:06,280 So I think they're reasonably priced. 2366 02:06:06,280 --> 02:06:09,560 I mean, I think $30.00 for the POD of the special edition is 2367 02:06:09,560 --> 02:06:11,920 great for 48. I would say fuck no. 2368 02:06:12,120 --> 02:06:17,960 Honestly, I think that's crazy. But for $30 to get the PDF and 2369 02:06:17,960 --> 02:06:21,800 the hardcover standard, I think it's a great price. 2370 02:06:22,080 --> 02:06:25,160 I think the if we're talking about value, you can get the Z 2371 02:06:25,160 --> 02:06:27,320 in edition for even cheaper 10 or $15. 2372 02:06:28,720 --> 02:06:32,440 And then the Troika version already exists, which is great. 2373 02:06:32,440 --> 02:06:34,560 Multiple adventures. There's three adventures in the 2374 02:06:34,560 --> 02:06:36,160 book, plus the two solo adventures. 2375 02:06:36,480 --> 02:06:39,600 I mean, for me, for value, I think this is well priced to get 2376 02:06:39,600 --> 02:06:41,920 it physical. The PDFs are a decent price and 2377 02:06:41,920 --> 02:06:43,800 there's a lot of stuff and it sounds like there's a second 2378 02:06:43,800 --> 02:06:45,840 edition coming out too. So I think this is a pretty 2379 02:06:45,840 --> 02:06:46,520 decent value. What? 2380 02:06:46,840 --> 02:06:48,400 Do you think I agree? What are you thinking? 2381 02:06:49,520 --> 02:06:53,400 Probably like a like a 7:00-ish. Yeah, I'm somewhere in the seven 2382 02:06:53,400 --> 02:06:55,280 range too. Gotcha. 2383 02:06:56,960 --> 02:07:07,000 All right, so that gives us a total of 8 + 6 + 8 + 7 + 7 2384 02:07:07,080 --> 02:07:11,400 equals. That's a 36. 36. 2385 02:07:11,720 --> 02:07:13,920 That's a solid score. That's a solid score. 2386 02:07:14,160 --> 02:07:17,760 I think honestly if they had a little bit of a rearrangement of 2387 02:07:17,760 --> 02:07:21,360 the book and some and and some bookmarks would have jumped that 2388 02:07:21,360 --> 02:07:23,680 usability up from like a six to a seven or eight would have 2389 02:07:23,680 --> 02:07:27,960 bumped a couple more points up. And honestly value wise, if when 2390 02:07:27,960 --> 02:07:30,080 when second edition comes out, the value of that's probably 2391 02:07:30,080 --> 02:07:31,880 going to bump from A7 to an 8 easy. 2392 02:07:31,880 --> 02:07:34,360 So this could easily get into the high 30s, which is I'd. 2393 02:07:34,520 --> 02:07:36,840 Be interested to go through that and update the score a little 2394 02:07:36,840 --> 02:07:38,840 bit because I'm sure there's a bunch of quality of life stuff 2395 02:07:38,840 --> 02:07:40,200 that we maybe have pointed out here. 2396 02:07:40,200 --> 02:07:41,800 That'll be well. I'm really curious if it's 2397 02:07:41,800 --> 02:07:45,280 second edition, as in let's fix issues or second edition is in 2398 02:07:45,280 --> 02:07:47,680 like a whole new version. I'm really excited for that. 2399 02:07:47,680 --> 02:07:51,040 So we'll see. But that has been three die 6A 2400 02:07:51,040 --> 02:07:53,120 game. I really, really like if it just 2401 02:07:53,120 --> 02:07:58,800 got rid of its split personality problem and that is from 2402 02:07:59,400 --> 02:08:02,160 Christian Mcclanahan. Did I say the right Mcclanahan 2403 02:08:02,440 --> 02:08:05,760 at Deeply Dapper Games, Table tops and Tentacles? 2404 02:08:05,760 --> 02:08:07,800 Definitely go check that out.

Definitely check out a lot of 2407 02:08:13,200 --> 02:08:16,160 other stuff from Deeply Dapper Games. 2408 02:08:16,400 --> 02:08:21,800 They recently put out Toon Punk with help of Alan Barr and a lot 2409 02:08:21,800 --> 02:08:24,080 of other really interesting things as well. 2410 02:08:24,880 --> 02:08:27,880 So that's it. Are we doing an episode 2411 02:08:27,880 --> 02:08:29,200 tomorrow? We are. 2412 02:08:29,200 --> 02:08:32,560 Doing an episode tomorrow, We're going to do the last Sabbath 2413 02:08:32,560 --> 02:08:37,360 tomorrow, I believe it's called. It is a narrative journaling, 2414 02:08:37,360 --> 02:08:40,760 witchy role-playing game that I'm interested to look into. 2415 02:08:41,400 --> 02:08:44,360 Yeah, I'm very excited. It's a very, very narrative like 2416 02:08:44,360 --> 02:08:46,600 story game. Like very story game. 2417 02:08:46,600 --> 02:08:47,880 I'm. Supposed to run it actually, in 2418 02:08:47,880 --> 02:08:49,840 the next couple weeks, so I'm glad we're going to go over it. 2419 02:08:50,000 --> 02:08:51,200 Oh, really?

We'll we'll see if that happens. 2424 02:08:56,080 --> 02:08:59,040 Based on how both, how tired we both are, we at least got one in 2425 02:08:59,040 --> 02:08:59,960 this week. So we'll see. 2426 02:09:02,160 --> 02:09:04,280 Check out all the Kickstarters we talked about at the beginning 2427 02:09:04,280 --> 02:09:06,800 and again starting next week.
