1 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,080 Hello and welcome to the Weekly Scroll podcast. 2 00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:20,280 My Name Is Ryan. And I'm a disgusted miser. 3 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,560 Yes, you are. Yeah, that's true. 4 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:31,080 And today we are going to be going over Cyst from Jamzilla 5 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:37,000 James Millichamp. This is an ultra light world 6 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,920 building game. I mean when I say ultra light I 7 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,440 mean like. I mean, it's it's as light as it 8 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:45,600 could be. No, there really isn't. 9 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:51,360 Much less there could be. And yet it's awesome. 10 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,800 You know, I think there's a lot of people in the space that are 11 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,280 like this are some of my favorite scenes. 12 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,920 Yeah, I completely agree. Yeah, very, very vibey. 13 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,440 Very graphic design core, you know, if I remember correctly. 14 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,920 Cause at some point I did in fact listen to their interview 15 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,760 on The Lost Bay. I believe they're in school for 16 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,600 graphic design. And if I'm completely wrong, 17 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:22,680 fuck me, but that is a thing. I'm sorry guys. 18 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:25,560 It's been a minute and I'm fixing some stuff. 19 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,760 So let's see if all works. Yeah, there we go. 20 00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:32,600 So yeah, I mean, realistically, let's just hop in. 21 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,440 Let's look at it. There's not a whole lot to say. 22 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:37,240 This is once again, James Miller, Champ. 23 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:42,440 This is CIST. As far as I know, CIST came out 24 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,520 in either late 2021 or early 2022. 25 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,160 One of the things I really do love about CIST is that they tag 26 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:52,800 the date on a lot of their stuff. 27 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,920 So I remember what came out in 2022 and what came out in 2023. 28 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:02,560 Love that. And also most of the work is a 29 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:08,840 very collage style like paper cut out that is then scanned in, 30 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,960 which is so fucking cool. I think one of the other people 31 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,960 that does a similar style to that, but not so much in the 32 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,640 same way as like Zine make and stuff like that is I'm going to 33 00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:21,560 completely mess up. It's either gardens and goblins 34 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,200 or goblins and gardens. You know what I'm talking about. 35 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:30,000 Oh yeah, Goblins and gardens. Goblins and gardens. 36 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,880 Yeah, yeah, I've seen their. Tarot deck, I think, yeah, yeah, 37 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,680 yeah, I've seen it. Yeah, really, really cool stuff 38 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,360 where they mix like garden books with like old D&D stuff and it 39 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,120 just looks really, really fantastic. 40 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,920 So similar, kind of like collage style that reminds me of that a 41 00:02:46,920 --> 00:02:50,320 bit. So yeah, so why don't we, why 42 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:51,640 don't we? Well, let's, let's show off. 43 00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:52,600 Let's go to the wild one.

So I know, right? 46 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,680 This book is, let me tell you what. 47 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,600 So also, first and foremost, there's two versions of SIS. 48 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,400 The first version of SIS that I ever got was this one right 49 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:09,920 here. This is just a like watercolor. 50 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,280 Well, let's let's, let's show the people. 51 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,440 Why don't you show us, Ryan?

First, Ryan is opening the first 55 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,760 one. The older and the older version 56 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,320 assist. That's what I did. 57 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,240 Yeah. So if you those in podcast 58 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,320 world, that's where we're at. Let me get the mic. 59 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,000 Mic get closer to me. There we go. 60 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,400 We haven't done this in a minute and I'm tired, so we apologize. 61 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,640 Or I do, at least for I. Apologize. 62 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:43,720 Yeah, you know what? Fuck you guys. 63 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,120 But thank you for listening. Thanks for listening now. 64 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,440 So we're just gonna flip through this and then we'll actually go 65 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,440 through the more recent version of Sis and then we're actually 66 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,800 gonna flip through. We don't do adventures here on 67 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,640 the show, but we will this time mostly just to show them off. 68 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,120 So I mean also there's like. 15 So if we go through one, it's 69 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,640 like you still have 14 other ones. 70 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,480 If you want to go buy it, we run it. 71 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:14,080 You know, we want to talk about the what. 72 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,680 So this is this is my cyst collection here. 73 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,360 You know out of context saying this is my cyst collection. 74 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,320 You know for those that, no, that, no that's interesting too. 75 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:36,000 What do I got here 1234567891010 of the scenes. 76 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,760 Well if you count double S 11 sis plus the map and I think 77 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,440 gosh these big pagers like four or five of those oh remind me to 78 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,560 show off the the boxes at the end too. 79 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,680 So Sis Sis is a game, this is the original version. 80 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:58,840 It was just on this kind of like rainbowish, kind of like how do 81 00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:02,000 you describe this? Almost like spray painty 82 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:04,960 background. There is some kind of like weird 83 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:12,320 stippling effect like you're like from a printer like the 84 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,560 color dot, where it's just like thousands of like little dots, 85 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,800 like, I mean it is stippling. Yeah, something like that's 86 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,080 going on. There's things, yeah. 87 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:29,240 There's stuff and things, right? So then this is the sys revised 88 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:34,800 version that came out that fits way more into what I envision as 89 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,440 gentle style. Yeah, it really matches the vibe 90 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,120 a lot more. So I I think it's still ties in 91 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,200 the original one in that. So when you look at it, it's 92 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,680 definitely like as we said, most of the art looks like cutouts. 93 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,720 They are from like magazines or books or things like that. 94 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:59,920 So in this one there is a it looks like a cliffside castle 95 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,600 and then it's got cyst big and yellow over like the bottom half 96 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:09,640 the front cover and then the sky is like a pink, yellow, blue 97 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,280 kind of gradient that does is very reminiscent of the original 98 00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:16,840 cover, the original cover. Absolutely. 99 00:06:16,840 --> 00:06:19,440 It keeps the kind of same color. Yeah. 100 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,160 The color themes are very similar. 101 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,840 It just has the like the imagery. 102 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,000 I actually really like like digital collage and like actual 103 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,360 like collage work. I think it's just like. 104 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,960 A very fun art style that you can bring a lot of like 105 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,840 reference, like it's very referential. 106 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,320 But I do also love really seeing it in the tabletop community 107 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,000 where it's all this like recycled old like Dungenesque 108 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,840 art with these high color backgrounds or like pieces of 109 00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:51,120 image pasted within it or over it. 110 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:54,720 Yeah, this is, it's a beautiful. I mean, is this how many pages 111 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:55,920 is this? Like 10? 112 00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,640 Yeah, it's very. I mean, it's very, very, very 113 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:00,800 small. I mean, it's 10 beautiful pages, 114 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,960 yeah, yeah, it's gorgeous. And that's why, and there's so 115 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,080 much of it. That's why we're gonna go over 116 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:10,800 more than just the game. So the original cover does keep 117 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:15,200 a lot of the original vibe, as in it's the same. 118 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,680 I think it might even just be the exact same piece of art. 119 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,520 Even it is, it is. So if you actually look at the 120 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,400 the two covers, you can see in the top there's like a little 121 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,320 splotch of like yellow that's exactly the same. 122 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,840 It's just darkened up, unpixelated and just vibed out 123 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:33,400 like crazy. But again, if you look at in 124 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:37,440 spreads, how it wraps around the original cyst is just that with 125 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,000 cyst on it and black on the side. 126 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,320 But compare it to this one, where it's got it's not. 127 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,800 I know the covers that castle, but the back continues to go all 128 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,840 the way around. Yeah, that's the Jimzilla style. 129 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,960 And then says Jimzilla 2022 on the back, which is obviously we 130 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,160 said before they tag it. So going forward from here, 131 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,640 that's pretty much where the outside the words that the 132 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,640 layout pretty is. It ends as far as this because 133 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,720 the other one has no pictures in it all this one bam, right off 134 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,240 the bat. Another castle dragon red 135 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,360 backward sky. Everything very. 136 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,560 I mean vibes on this are going to be through the roof obviously 137 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:20,080 and they and Jimzilla's style seems to be very involved with 138 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,520 this specific font. I believe it's called Glassion I 139 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:28,160 think is the name of the font but it's on their website. 140 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,200 It's insist it's it's through all the books. 141 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,840 It's through everything. It's on the same as like the 142 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:37,520 Toon Valley gosh and stuff too. It's it's the same font and it's 143 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:39,159 a pretty, I think it's a pretty common Google font. 144 00:08:39,159 --> 00:08:41,080 So it's. I mean, I found it to be able to 145 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,640 use it for our promos, for our social media. 146 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:50,680 So anyway, so the world, the game, all has come to ruin. 147 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,560 Castles crumbled into dust as Mother Earth slowly dies. 148 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,040 An age of wondrous monsters and weary heroes has come, an age 149 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:03,280 rife with adventure and peril vibes. 150 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:04,200 Love it? Great. 151 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,440 That's pretty much the world. That's pretty much it. 152 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,640 So why don't you? Do you want to create a 153 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,920 character as we go 'cause it's pretty much this entire Z? 154 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:13,520 Absolutely. There's no way we're going out 155 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:14,680 through this about creating a character. 156 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,040 Yeah. So the base Zine of core 157 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,160 basically create a character and then you create a world and then 158 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,920 you play in it. And then a lot of the other sis 159 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,200 stuff is creatures, situations or adventures specific to to 160 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,880 Titan areas. And then one of the things that 161 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,280 come out recently, which reminds me to show at the end, talking 162 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,400 about Dunbar, we'll all show is interesting too. 163 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,480 So how to play? One player is narrator. 164 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:38,960 Really you just need two players. 165 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,160 So one player's narrator. They describe to the other 166 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,800 player the happenings of the crumbling world and the glorious 167 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,400 things within it. The other player, other players 168 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,120 each control an adventurer. That's you. 169 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,440 You're an adventurer. I'm an adventurer. 170 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:57,680 That's you whose bold action set them aside from the other 171 00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:00,200 creatures of the world. Players must decide whether 172 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:06,240 their adventurer is born of meat, magic, or love, as well as 173 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:08,120 any other important details of their life. 174 00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:11,040 Whenever an adventurer does something difficult, their 175 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,160 player flips a coin and hopes for heads. 176 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:17,360 If an adventurer is born to do this task, the coin may be 177 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:20,760 flipped Again, that's pretty much it for the mechanics. 178 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,080 Pretty.

Once again, horrible beyond 365 00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:38,440 belief. Oh that sounds so like I would 366 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:43,680 have like the the the thing open up and it would almost be like a 367 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:48,160 mermaid if it was like top woman bottom mollusk and it just like. 368 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,720 Every, every moment of this, I resent having to live. 369 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,520 There's like little wings on it. Well, you know, mollusks and 370 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,960 like, like clams and stuff have little little things to flop 371 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:00,800 around with too. So that's cool. 372 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:01,880 That's cool. That's a. 373 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:03,760 Good one. Still going great for me over 374 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:10,240 here, Yeah. And then the last page is heroes 375 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,520 and happenings. So with 3/8 set of dice, 376 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,880 populate your crumbling world with 1000 myths and legends. 377 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:17,920 So this is heroes, oddities and happenings. 378 00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,520 So we're all three to 8 and we'll go through these. 379 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,640 I rolled. OK, I almost rolled 3/8, but I 380 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,520 didn't. Cool. 381 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:32,000 So for heroes, I rolled an 8. An empty suit of Silver Mail. 382 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:37,720 Lies here as though slain, Huh. Nice. 383 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:44,240 Oddities. Another 8A vapor fills the area 384 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,440 and then it's gone. Something has changed, though 385 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:52,680 you can't quite place it. And then happenings is A7 386 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,120 Nameless. Things have burrowed up from the 387 00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:59,040 deepest pit of the earth, talking in secret and shadowy 388 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,280 tongues. There's definitely like tables. 389 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,680 I would mix and match for areas. You know, it's like build a 390 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,280 bunch of, I mean, there's a ton of stuff here. 391 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:10,800 Yeah. I mean that's that's the thing 392 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,480 that's like this isn't. It's not like you would roll all 393 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,160 of these in a row, like you make your adventurer and then as you 394 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,720 go through places, you would roll when you needed to. 395 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,440 So if you were deciding that, like starting off, I might do 396 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,520 the places of things, but then like, you know, I might roll out 397 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,160 a couple of times to go overland. 398 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,960 But if it's decided you go underground, that's when you'd 399 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,240 hit the caverns and catacombs. I mean, I might roll the heroes 400 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,840 and happenings kind of right at the start too, just to have like 401 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:40,080 some adventure kind of situations to start, you know, 402 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:41,560 But. Almost like creating like a 403 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:46,000 little like like word bank list for you to pull from for you 404 00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:47,920 know. And that's it. 405 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,120 That's it for the first one, yeah, the last. 406 00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:53,480 It even says populate your crumbling world with myths and 407 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,160 legends. So like that's why it's just a 408 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,520 great seed, you know venture see things. 409 00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:02,040 So yeah, so that's that's the Corzine, that cyst and this one 410 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:06,840 is clearly, you know it's, it's chopped up and put together, but 411 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:12,160 the the words are still clearly put on in like a program or 412 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,040 something, right. When we look at some of the 413 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,000 other ones, well, let's go through, let's look at Tombs of 414 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,440 Agalash first. Well this is a 2023 one. 415 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:28,360 This is a later one, yeah. Let's go through Agalach, 416 00:24:28,360 --> 00:24:31,280 because actually the Tombs of Agalach is extremely reminiscent 417 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:37,160 of Cyst in that the layout for it is incredibly similar. 418 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,560 So if you look at, you know, like the front cover I'm showing 419 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:49,280 here, Tombs of Agalach, the sky and stuff reminds me very much 420 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,520 like the yellow on the front, everything. 421 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,040 Let me open up Tombs of Aggloss real quick. 422 00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:59,880 I know I downloaded it. Here we go. 423 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:04,480 Well, let's do it still. Having like bad dreams of the 424 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,720 half mollusk woman. So hey listen, do you do what 425 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,480 you got to do in the context of the mollusk woman. 426 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,560 So this is interesting. In the spreads version they have 427 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,560 the. Yeah, I know it covers, it's, 428 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,080 yeah, the ones on the wrong side. 429 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,720 But I mean, it makes sense because it's the front. 430 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,720 It's just interesting. So this side here on the right 431 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:27,640 would actually be on the left side. 432 00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,000 So this is tombs of Agalash and adventure location persist. 433 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:33,000 The sacred seal is come and dawn. 434 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,280 The tombs cry out. Again, For an age and beyond, 435 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:37,880 the Wizards of Agalash have languished in their ancient 436 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:41,320 halls, trapped there by the gods they dared dethrone. 437 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,120 Fearful of phantoms and breathless things, the Wizards 438 00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:47,760 fled deeper and deeper into their dungeon tombs, hoarding in 439 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,520 pits, their spells and things of gold. 440 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,760 So, oh oh, I opened this one where it doesn't. 441 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:59,080 I'm fine with that. So this one is interesting in 442 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:04,400 that it's laid out very similarly then as the sis one, 443 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,320 which is very different than some of the other ones we see. 444 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,240 But you start with some vibes. I love the skies on. 445 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,040 You know what this reminds me of? 446 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,000 You know? I know I said it just a second 447 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,360 ago as far as, like, a reference to Warpland, Yeah. 448 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,480 Absolutely. But it reminds me, you know that 449 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,360 like the page in Warp Land, my my light got weird here. 450 00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:29,040 So let me auto adjust a little bit of brightness back on my 451 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,920 face so the sky page in Warp Land. 452 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,320 This looks to me as if those skies are the sky because you 453 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,440 actually get to see the setting with the sky above you. 454 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:40,040 That's one thing I love about this. 455 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,520 I think I would hold that in the description of playing this game 456 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,000 as well. Like I'd be like, yeah, since 457 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:49,280 the sky is fucking insane, I'd show him this and be like yet at 458 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,880 all times a living hue of pinks and purples or whatever. 459 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:56,440 It's dope. It is dope. 460 00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,160 I do agree. A shriek is heard across the 461 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,320 crumbling world. The Wizards of Agalachia have 462 00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:06,040 outlived the seal that kept them trapped in their tombs, now 463 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:08,800 promise their magics to those that free them. 464 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,080 So the Wizards of Agalach are calling out to be free now that 465 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:18,120 their seal is unsealed, but so this One of the things is these 466 00:27:18,120 --> 00:27:20,800 are completely different character backgrounds, so driven 467 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,360 by dreams, avenger power. Adventures draw nearer to the 468 00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:25,960 tombs, ready to thwart the friends that lurk in the shadow 469 00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:28,560 and to free the Wizards who hide below. 470 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:30,640 So any of these speak out to you. 471 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:33,120 We got the reticent jeweler, the moon kissed Warden. 472 00:27:33,360 --> 00:27:36,120 Oh, it's the crumbling Sovereign, the crumbling 473 00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:37,200 Astropath. What's that one say? 474 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,920 Uh. Crumbling asthma. 475 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,560 You have gazed out into the distant Suns, etched their paths 476 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:47,040 upon your skin. Your blood maps have led you 477 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:49,680 here to the place where All Stars end. 478 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,240 And it's dope. Yeah, prize cool. 479 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:58,120 The Smoking Cog Fiend. I'm not gonna use that one at 480 00:27:58,120 --> 00:28:00,320 the table because that's not what people will say for the 481 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:01,360 entire session. I'll tell. 482 00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:04,960 You that right now? Yeah, Garg Cog. 483 00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,400 Yeah, the gargling Wretch is a is a bit of a touchy. 484 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,120 One too gargling. Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah. 485 00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:15,120 And the spell touched Squire. So great. 486 00:28:15,120 --> 00:28:16,720 Great. The vibes. 487 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,440 The writing is for how minimal all of this is. 488 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,760 The writing has to pop and it it does like crazy. 489 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,480 That's. What I know about this really 490 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,640 good job. There's a page for Wizards and 491 00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:30,280 wonders, so there's creatures and treasures, but there's also 492 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:35,880 incantations and features, and this is the spellit tombs and 493 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:40,000 the cobbles heaped with gold spirits and specters that you 494 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:44,240 can run across miserable creatures that can be found. 495 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:48,280 These are just a straight D8, so these are straight up just from 496 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,600 the from the Wizards Acrid pots of Slime 1000 creatures come. 497 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,720 So these are really great like roll AD 8 and we'll we'll we'll 498 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,160 kind of give a reference for this. 499 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,960 I just clicked out of my dice roller and so it's right here 500 00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:04,920 again. I rolled A4. 501 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,560 An ornate plinth has lost its gargoyle. 502 00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,760 A wasted chimera has it desperately trying to suck the 503 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:18,160 icker from its stone shell. So that's kind of stuff that 504 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,960 comes up into into this, yeah. And then one thing I love is 505 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,160 this. The jewel of Agalach, mumbling 506 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,280 the deepest bowels of Mother Earth. 507 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,920 The wizard's greatest gifts, gifts lies dormant, forged ages 508 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,880 ago by the long dead Stark. And how magics, what magics 509 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,000 could hold. So there's actually like some of 510 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,760 these are lists of characters, like Murloc, the wisest wizard. 511 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,960 There's a reference to some of the other ones. 512 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:43,800 Is this one that references? No. 513 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,000 There's references to the other ones that come up and other 514 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,600 things. But anyway, so very similar in 515 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,880 my mind to Sis. The colors PO I think are even 516 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,800 like more bright in this one, but the layout is incredibly 517 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,960 similar. But when we go to something like 518 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:04,600 let's open up like even let's like Pangram is a good one to 519 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,520 look at. So this is a completely 520 00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,640 different kind of vibe and style. 521 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:17,520 This one is definitely looks more like they chopped it up and 522 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,680 then scanned the pages. Oh yeah, it's a bunch of I 523 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,400 actually, I haven't gone through this one at all. 524 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,960 So no. Me and me and the podcast team 525 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,360 at the same time. Much different style though, 526 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,320 right? It's it's very. 527 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:33,240 Still belongs, you know. Yes. 528 00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:34,760 Oh, absolutely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 529 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,600 So Tara and ecstasy falling from the squalid womb, The creatures 530 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,800 meet the earth. The Talisman is stitched betwixt 531 00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,040 it's chiseled teeth. That lasts. 532 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,280 A pangram is born. So this is a Matt. 533 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,800 This is a creature that you could battle but that's like 534 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:53,680 there's the how to play section it has a couple of like AD 8 535 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:58,640 table and that's pretty much it. Like it's it's a very small just 536 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,600 vibey like location bad guy and that's pretty much it. 537 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,200 But you know as as we said it's much more chopped together 538 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:09,840 pieced together. It's not text. 539 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,280 It's clearly like cut out a magazine you know serial killer 540 00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:18,360 letter style looks fantastic. The last one we really are gonna 541 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,320 well let's let's flip through 2 real quick There's the dungeons 542 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:23,920 of Dunbar which is much newer one. 543 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:33,000 It the this keeps that cut style in that it's you know pages that 544 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,400 are cut up into pieces as opposed to like you can actually 545 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,680 see where the pieces are glued on to the background behind it. 546 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,400 And I I don't know which one I like better. 547 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,000 I think both together work really well between like the 548 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000 cyst and this more collage. Style. 549 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,680 I don't know that I like 1 better than the other. 550 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:55,320 I think they both like. I like regular cyst because it's 551 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,240 so clean looking, but I also like this because it's just so 552 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:04,920 like. Like DIY art, punk. 553 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,840 Yeah, stuff. You know, I will say that it's 554 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,400 clear that they, like they wrote what they wanted to write, 555 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,800 printed it out, cut it up and then put it on here. 556 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,720 I'm fine with that. I'm fine 1000%. 557 00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:20,040 I I I like the style. But I can tell you right now 558 00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:21,640 this I got this had to take much longer. 559 00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:23,880 I mean when you look at the page and then you have like your D8 560 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,640 table that you like literally write, print, print out, cut 561 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,600 into strips and then glue back onto paper, it's dope. 562 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:38,400 And then I I said one, but I meant to, there's one thing 563 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,760 where they do a completely different style. 564 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:51,320 Let's look at something like is this more path throughs? 565 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:55,520 So they do sometimes this kind of style where it's actually 566 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:59,360 like a whole page. This is when you download it, 567 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:01,920 it's called the watching woods but it's more pets Roos on their 568 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,040 itch page. It's it's it's just a whole 569 00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:06,840 page. So as opposed to that style. 570 00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,600 So one of the for those in podcast and they can't see, some 571 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,840 of them are just like whole pages that are that are put out, 572 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,200 you know and when we look at something like dungeon here, 573 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,200 that's one this is how to play. So it gives you the rules for 574 00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:24,320 the game. There's a dungeon entrance, 575 00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:27,640 there's the Dungeon Lord, and then there's the dungeon rooms, 576 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,840 and you roll on dens and curiosities, happenings and 577 00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:31,640 treasures. So it's more like an individual 578 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:35,160 location, but it's written not in Zine style, it's written in 579 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,800 like page style. So that's the other kind of 580 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,600 thing that you can see. The last one I really you want 581 00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,040 to look at a lot that I want to touch on was Lord's Bio Keep. 582 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:47,560 This is one that I believe was a Kickstarter. 583 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,080 I know, I know it was crowdfunded. 584 00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:51,800 I don't know how many other projects there's was 585 00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,000 crowdfunded, but this is pretty much the biggest one that 586 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:54,920 they've done. Let's say it's. 587 00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:57,680 It's by far the longest, yeah. And. 588 00:33:58,160 --> 00:34:02,560 There's actually it's not very long, but so there's actually 589 00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,280 two different versions of this that came out as well, I 590 00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,239 believe. The first one if you look at for 591 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,480 those I can see here the there is actually kind of like a mini 592 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,560 perfect bound that actually has like creasing in the sides. 593 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:18,760 It's got like a little bit of an edge and then they basically 594 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:22,159 were like not happy I guess with how it turned out or a specific 595 00:34:22,159 --> 00:34:24,920 type of the layout. So they sent out a whole nother 596 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:30,199 one that's more Zine style and changed the layout completely. 597 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,760 So when you look at you know one compared to the other the layout 598 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,520 and style is different. So that's the 1st 2 pages in 599 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,840 that one, but in this one, this is the first 2 pages. 600 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,080 So for those who can't see, it's different. 601 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,560 So they just tweaked the layout, combined some pages, took out 602 00:34:48,560 --> 00:34:52,199 some of the pages that were just spreads of words and did that. 603 00:34:52,199 --> 00:34:57,200 But this is Biokeep, so it's a much darker vibe than everything 604 00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,000 else. It's very, I mean, it's the 605 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,760 Lords of Bile Keep, if you can think of that. the Champions in 606 00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:05,680 this one are like bare fingered beggar nascent things, disgusted 607 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:09,480 Miser, Hobgoblin, nameless stranger, vengeful Warden. 608 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:15,800 So it's definitely like a deeper, darker setting who you 609 00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,960 can meet along the road. The wicked Witch, the wasted 610 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,120 weird thing. I also think that this is more 611 00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:27,000 of a structured kind of like campaign ish thing that you can. 612 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,280 Do assist. Take on a campaign? 613 00:35:29,720 --> 00:35:32,080 Yeah, so you actually, it actually takes you through the 614 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:36,480 bio lands meeting various different things. 615 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:39,320 The Wraith of the the wrath of the Gargoyle, the dying Lord of 616 00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:43,720 Pus, the bio Keep besieged, and the various things you can do. 617 00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,520 The slime slick dungeons, the gutters below the deepest bowels 618 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:52,120 of the earth, you know and and then there's like an appendix N 619 00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,360 in the back. So it it is the longest. 620 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,000 I think. I mean dog shit is really really 621 00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:02,200 long too but it's one of the longest and I think one of the 622 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:06,080 more in depth cyst pieces. So if you're going to get cyst 623 00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,360 and also want something to go with it I mean get all of it but 624 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:13,560 definitely get Lord's bio keep so last I know I've said this a 625 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:14,840 bunch of times. The last thing we're going to 626 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,680 look at, because it came out recently as far as I know, is 627 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:20,200 the is this. I don't know if you've seen 628 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,200 this. This is the crumbling world map. 629 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,840 Oh, I just. I saw the No, I haven't seen it. 630 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,040 Go for it. Yeah. 631 00:36:28,040 --> 00:36:31,480 No, it's. I just, I love that the so I 632 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:35,400 have it physically here, the crumbling world map, all of the 633 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,920 locations in the various things, talking about the great immortal 634 00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:43,400 ink applied to the Necromancer Duns of Dunbar, all of those 635 00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:46,000 things, they all take place in this map. 636 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,080 So they actually made a collage style map. 637 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:53,960 Crazy map, right? Like the Super collage style. 638 00:36:54,720 --> 00:36:56,840 Yeah, go, go ahead. Sorry. 639 00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,640 I mean, after you go for it. Oh no. 640 00:36:58,640 --> 00:36:59,800 Yeah, Like you were saying, The Clash style. 641 00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,040 But like, if you look at some of the things we talked about, the 642 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,520 Bio Keep is the bottom right? And there's the bio lands right 643 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,280 next to it. But as you read through all of 644 00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,360 these, you'll be like, oh, that happened here. 645 00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,520 That's where Murloc is. This is where the wooden land 646 00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,120 is. Like, it's really dope that 647 00:37:13,120 --> 00:37:15,840 they're like, OK, all of these are in the crumbling world. 648 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,760 So let me put the crumbling world out there. 649 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:24,560 Wow, very cool. I love this. 650 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,720 I'm so, like, I love this map so much. 651 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,520 Yeah, it's definitely it's it's exactly the kind of map that I 652 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:36,160 would expect to to come from the people that made Cyst. 653 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:41,360 Yeah, so very cool. Again, for those that are just 654 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,360 listening, this is when you might want to go watch or 655 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:44,520 definitely go check out the H page. 656 00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:45,680 We'll drop all the links and everything. 657 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,160 We we're still going to do like a review of this. 658 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,160 I know that this is a very short episode where we did more of 659 00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:52,840 like, you know, kind of showing off than than anything, but 660 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:54,560 we're definitely still going to do a review of this because we 661 00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:56,960 want to do scores on everything. So why don't we hop over to 662 00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:00,200 that? No, no. 663 00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:01,440 Oh, all right, let's go back to the. 664 00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,800 All right, we're here we go. We're back at the. 665 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:05,400 OK. One thing I do want to say too, 666 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:10,720 though, is I love that when I get packages from James, they 667 00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:13,080 always do art on them, which is super cool. 668 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,080 Like this is. I don't know, my camera is just 669 00:38:16,080 --> 00:38:19,040 not having a good day. I don't think maybe you're too 670 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:20,280 bright. That could be it. 671 00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:24,440 So this one is like a like a troll guy. 672 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:28,520 It says thank you on it. This one is like a little goblin 673 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:32,440 guy says thank you on it and I really love this one. 674 00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,880 It's the it's a character talking to like a necromancer 675 00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,520 and it says thank you bold adventures. 676 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,800 But alas my book of spells is gone. 677 00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:49,080 So really cool on on the packages that all come from from 678 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,240 overseas. So and and all this. 679 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,000 It's so inexpensive, like when you get when you order these 680 00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,160 zines from the when they're available. 681 00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,560 Crazy cheap. Yeah, it's like 5 bucks for the 682 00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,400 Zine and 5 bucks for shipping. I'm like, yeah, give me. 683 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:04,120 I'll do all of them. Sorry, not cheap, affordable. 684 00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:07,480 But I also would say I would. I would pay substantially more 685 00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:10,640 for these. So shocked at how inexpensive 686 00:39:11,240 --> 00:39:14,960 they are, but we're going to do a Zine style review real quick 687 00:39:14,960 --> 00:39:17,320 and then talk about where you can get some of these zines. 688 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,920 This is a little bit more of a casual episode, so we'll just 689 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:22,680 cruise through this so. Show them today, you know? 690 00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,160 Yeah, we, I mean we post. Holiday and we're we're come 691 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:27,880 back, you know. Yeah. 692 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,080 Yeah. Well for those that celebrate, 693 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,000 you know, Happy Indigenous People's Day. 694 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,520 Yeah. And for those that do the other 695 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:41,520 one, think about not doing that. So for zines we do it a little 696 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:45,200 bit different than books. Books we get 5 metrics to for 697 00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:47,640 scenes we give three because it's not really fair to compare 698 00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,280 something like this to something like the die RPG with like 1000 699 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:52,520 pages. Well like 300. 700 00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,160 But we do visuals, rule set and vibes. 701 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,080 Visuals are together, layout, art, everything. 702 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,640 Visually, how do we like it out of 10? 703 00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:06,200 Rule set is the rules. Not only do we like the rule 704 00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:10,240 set, is it, you know the Because a game could have one rule and 705 00:40:10,240 --> 00:40:12,440 we could give it a fucking 10. So. 706 00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:15,880 And then vibes are a mix of everything. 707 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,400 It's kind of like how bad we want to play the game once it's 708 00:40:18,400 --> 00:40:20,840 shut, you know, once we once we read through and everything. 709 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:22,760 So that that's what got through visuals, rule, setting, vibes. 710 00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:25,240 So visually, what are your thoughts? 711 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:27,960 Oh, visually it's it's so substantial. 712 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,200 You know, like I love the visuals. 713 00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:36,520 I like the the the two different really styles that we're talking 714 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:40,880 about, the more like. Text over this like backdrop and 715 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,800 then the other version, which is almost like that. 716 00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:49,320 Yeah, text pasted over, yeah, I think, I think very highly of 717 00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:50,880 the visuals. I mean, I think it's, it's, it's 718 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:54,480 clear, like a very visual project, Yeah. 719 00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:59,160 I mean I think if especially if art is their focus in school, 720 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,120 which I feel like I remember them saying that and I feel kind 721 00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:06,600 of like I didn't get a chance to listen to the interview again 722 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:07,760 but you should definitely check that out. 723 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,760 They did do an interview on the Lost Bay podcast from front of 724 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,840 the show eco so definitely go go check them out on the Lost Bay 725 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:22,200 and listen to that. But the collage style art is 726 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,840 fantastic and do you look like the crumbling world map. 727 00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,640 I mean that in and of itself individually. 728 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,680 So it's a fantastic piece I. Mean. 729 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:33,200 You know, when you talk to people about people that have 730 00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,160 these scenes, a bunch of people say, like these are some of 731 00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,320 their favorite scenes in their collection, especially the ones 732 00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:40,360 that are chopped together in pieces and you can visually see 733 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,680 that it's like glued together and photo scanned. 734 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:44,240 So what are your thoughts on visuals? 735 00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:48,320 I don't know. I'm pretty high up there. 736 00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,200 What are you thinking? I mean, I'm pretty high up there 737 00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,280 too, so. How are you? 738 00:41:52,360 --> 00:41:59,280 How are you Drew? I think like like 9 at least you 739 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:01,520 know I'm. Feeling good 9 on this one Yeah. 740 00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:03,920 I mean they're it's just they're fantastic. 741 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,360 I mean it's not just that they look awesome. 742 00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:11,120 It the thought process behind. I think collaging is really 743 00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,520 interesting because I can't imagine how many pages you flip 744 00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,080 through to find that piece that you really need. 745 00:42:15,280 --> 00:42:16,080 Oh, do you? Know. 746 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,280 Yeah. It's more of like a building a 747 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:23,480 collection of like. Themed, you know what I mean? 748 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,160 And then putting it together. But yeah, I mean, yeah, crazy 749 00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:29,000 probably took forever. Yeah. 750 00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:36,200 And then just the pieces where it's like that black and white 751 00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,680 kind of design with them, then suddenly get that pink sky 752 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:41,280 behind it. I mean, you know, it's a lot 753 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,040 more than putting a piece on top of the other piece. 754 00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:44,480 And it's just it's just gorgeous. 755 00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:45,720 Yeah, they're just gorgeous all around. 756 00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:49,440 So rule set, I mean, we we this is probably the least we've ever 757 00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:51,440 talked about a rule set because we literally just read it and 758 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:53,440 kept going. I mean, there's not really much 759 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,560 rules here, right? You flip a coin if it's 760 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,160 something your character was born to do You you flip the coin 761 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:02,440 twice. Yeah, I would say my only, my, 762 00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,840 only. I like that this is like a like, 763 00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:08,600 as I was trying to say before, this is like a treatise in like 764 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:12,040 culture, like gaming, right? There are no rules. 765 00:43:12,040 --> 00:43:14,440 And I don't think, I think there's a lot of people that 766 00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:15,760 really love this. And I think there's a lot of 767 00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,480 people that would read it, think it's pretty and never touch it 768 00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,800 again because it's not. There's not a lot there. 769 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,400 I mean, even when we did 9 Lives of Alahala, there's at least 770 00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:28,520 like, you know how many times you have to hit the thing to 771 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,080 kill it. It's really like once. 772 00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:32,480 Yeah, this. You don't even know that 773 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,400 realistically. I mean, what's the difference 774 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,360 between a lumbering troll and the pangram that gets this 775 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:41,480 entire own Zine, you know? I would think that the only the 776 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,680 only thing about the rules that that I think I would want is 777 00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:51,880 like even just like like nothing has HP and stuff so I I get 778 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:53,240 that. I I would think though that 779 00:43:53,240 --> 00:43:55,800 like, what does defeating something look like 780 00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,360 comparatively? Like if it's like a crab on the 781 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:06,600 road, or if it's like the evil warlord or necromancer that's 782 00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:10,080 destroying everything. How does one defeat one versus 783 00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:11,920 the other? Just live in heads once, you 784 00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:12,280 know. Yeah. 785 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,040 So that's my only thing with the rule set is I love that it's 786 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,600 super light. I love that it's very it's do 787 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:22,880 what you want with it, but I almost want just like the 788 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,680 tiniest bit more and it doesn't need to be need to be numbers. 789 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:29,520 It's almost more just like maybe in context that like is would 790 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:32,160 defeating the neck venture be multiple roles in that Like 791 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,000 there's a storytelling part to it where it's like you defeat 792 00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,640 it. Once you broke you you you did 793 00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:40,280 it once you broke their their wand you do it twice you you 794 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,640 shatter their their scrolls. You know what I mean Kind of 795 00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:45,000 thing. It just any context I think is 796 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,760 the only knock I have on something that's this light and 797 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,040 I but I'll tell you what, I would rather have the question 798 00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,280 about something this light than read a 400 page book of rules. 799 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:59,520 Oh, I mean, if if you know me, so I'm like, yeah, me too. 800 00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,120 And I'll just wing it, I'll make it, I'll make up a rule all 801 00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:05,280 gamify boss fights or regular fights and just be like, it's 802 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,480 not so much like you hitting it and dying. 803 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:10,240 It's like there's a sequence of events to play through, you 804 00:45:10,240 --> 00:45:15,080 know? Yeah, I mean, I mean, I agree 805 00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:16,080 with you. I would just make it up. 806 00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:18,320 But much like some of the other things we've done before where 807 00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,640 it's like clearly we we know enough of our games, but we can 808 00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,080 just make it up, keep going and not even pause, a lot of people 809 00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,280 can't. So to me that is that is just 810 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,320 like I said, not necessarily a knock, but it is a question. 811 00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:33,760 So what do you think? I mean, I do really enjoy this, 812 00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:38,480 but do I think that something like 9 Lives of Valhalla did 813 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:41,920 Ultra Light cleaner? Yes I do. 814 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,320 You know what I mean? I left less questions to be 815 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:49,960 answered, you know, and and what did he give that for rules? 816 00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,480 Was that the 9 for that too was 9 that was. 817 00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:54,720 Pretty. It's the perfect it's it's got 818 00:45:54,720 --> 00:45:59,520 one fucking rule. Yeah, something like that. 819 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:03,320 Pretty high, yeah. I mean, I. 820 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,200 Think this is like a strong seven to light 8 for me, You 821 00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:09,360 know, I mean, I'm. Not blown away by the by the 822 00:46:09,520 --> 00:46:11,640 coin toss I think it's I think it's totally fine and I really 823 00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,960 like how minimal is and and I'm definitely going to play this 824 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:18,440 with my new table that I'm getting started just to go 825 00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:22,280 through it. You know, what was that? 826 00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,720 Because you know what we looked at before that reminds me of 827 00:46:26,720 --> 00:46:31,080 this. We looked at a coin toss game 828 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:33,160 before. Yeah, it was prole. 829 00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:36,800 Prole, yeah. So that's when I compare like a 830 00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:38,440 coin toss game to a coin toss game. 831 00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:45,360 I think prole is cleaner and I think it takes about the same 832 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,120 amount of space. So that's my that's my thought 833 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,040 in my head is like when I look. At. 834 00:46:50,720 --> 00:46:55,600 Yeah, when I look at 1:00. So yeah, I'd probably go with 835 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,680 the seven for this. Yeah, I think it's really good 836 00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:01,160 for this. Yeah, I think it's really solid. 837 00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:04,440 The fact that literally that's all it is, is just flip a coin 838 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,920 and sometimes you'll have the advantage to flip a coin twice. 839 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:12,760 That's crazy to me that you can. I think it's one of those things 840 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:16,240 where the more you add to this, the more you fuck it up. 841 00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,480 Yeah, you know, I think there's a sweet. 842 00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,680 Spot, you know, this is a lesson in editing. 843 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,200 And I don't mean like line editing. 844 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,200 I mean and like editing your thoughts and editing your 845 00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,400 ingredients and editing your your pieces and stuff. 846 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:32,040 So I think 7 is solid for this. I really enjoy it. 847 00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,720 And I think the context of how you use it within the scope of 848 00:47:35,720 --> 00:47:39,440 the game is what really makes it really, really good vibes. 849 00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:40,920 I don't. I mean. 850 00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:45,520 Oh, super vibey. Yeah, I mean, what are your what 851 00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:48,000 are your thoughts? I think in my I'm a strong eight 852 00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:53,280 or a light like a well, no I think I'm a yeah strong eight to 853 00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:54,720 light 9. Yeah. 854 00:47:54,720 --> 00:47:58,840 I'm a going out on this hard, like I think if you have you, 855 00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,680 did you actually get a chance to sit down and read Lords and Wild 856 00:48:00,680 --> 00:48:02,600 Keep? Like no, I did not. 857 00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,480 Read I read Plight of the Necromancer and now it's pretty 858 00:48:05,480 --> 00:48:07,000 cool. Oh, Plight of the Necromancer is 859 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,360 great, but it's also only like 4 pages. 860 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:10,920 Yeah, you know it's very, very small. 861 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:16,240 When you get a chance to read through Lords Biokeep, you're 862 00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:18,120 going to be like, Oh yeah, easy night, easy night. 863 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,040 That one. The one that's like longer. 864 00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,160 Oh, also dog shit, it's also really, really long. 865 00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:24,320 It's it's fantastic too and it's a little bit longer. 866 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,480 But like in context when you look at when you go from like 867 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:32,920 Sisters of Saban to Dungeons of Dunbar to Lords of Biokeep, I 868 00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,040 mean the the world building is fantastic. 869 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:39,760 The tables are always great. There's a bunch of bunch of 870 00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:44,040 different like every time. A lot of them will have new 871 00:48:44,040 --> 00:48:45,440 character options in the beginning. 872 00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:51,000 Some of them don't even give you all three, like meet, meet, love 873 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:53,120 and and magic. Sometimes you're completely 874 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,160 different ones and some of them I can't remember which one it 875 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:57,720 is. That completely changes it up. 876 00:48:57,720 --> 00:48:59,920 You don't even start with those three. 877 00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:03,240 You start with three completely different ones and I can't 878 00:49:03,240 --> 00:49:05,840 remember which one it was. Was it dog shit? 879 00:49:05,840 --> 00:49:07,520 Where you start with three completely different ones? 880 00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:16,120 I don't remember, but it's, I don't know, I I think vibe wise 881 00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,840 to me, it's through the roof. I think this is just the the 882 00:49:18,840 --> 00:49:23,280 perfect kind of storytelling that can be told without sitting 883 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,800 down and writing a story. And I love that through the 884 00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:29,360 context of all the different adventures, you eventually get 885 00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:33,600 to the crumbling world map.

Page from the yeah, if I if I, 921 00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:33,360 if I ever actually put anything out on itch, I'm definitely 922 00:51:33,360 --> 00:51:36,480 reaching out to them and asking how the fuck they did that, 923 00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,960 because that's the best looking itch page I've ever seen. 924 00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:44,200 But if you go to the the Naval Cups page right now, you can get 925 00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:47,120 done just a Dunbar.

The only one that's out of stock 928 00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,840 right now is Lords of Bio Keep, but I highly recommend getting 929 00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,400 all of the rest of them. They're really fantastic and 930 00:51:57,400 --> 00:52:01,040 they're only like 6 or $8. Like, they're so inexpensive for 931 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,360 how fucking cool these are. Inexpensive. 932 00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:04,200 Yeah. Yeah. 933 00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:07,000 I mean, you just get so much from each individual one. 934 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,240 I mean, the fact that there's like, you know, four to six, 935 00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:13,200 eight D8 roll tables on each spread, even if it's only 6 936 00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:15,400 spreads, that's so many adventures you can play in each 937 00:52:15,400 --> 00:52:17,640 individual one. I mean, even if you just got 938 00:52:17,640 --> 00:52:20,960 these for like the inspiration of the tables, like they're so 939 00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:23,080 worth it for that in the art, you know what I mean? 940 00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:26,200 Like, yeah, yeah. I mean, again, even if it's a 941 00:52:26,200 --> 00:52:29,120 game you never play like, as you just said, like as an art piece, 942 00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:33,880 they're stunningly beautiful, but for world building, they're 943 00:52:33,880 --> 00:52:35,600 great. I mean the the crumbling world 944 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:39,040 is awesome but what you just said the the basically using 945 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:40,800 them as your own adventure season tables. 946 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:46,640 So cool so cool.
