Don't get it twisted. 144 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,880 Don't get butthurt about it. We are nitpicky. 145 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,640 We know that we are pedantic. We know that that's the fucking 146 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,680 point of the show. We pick and we poke and we prod 147 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,680 at these games. We pick them up by the ankles 148 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,800 and we shake them to see if something falls out because we 149 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,039 want to and because that's fun and because like you know it, 150 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:40,240 even though we rarely ever do games that we're not huge fans 151 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,640 of here on the show, that doesn't mean that any game is 152 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:45,360 perfect. Nothing will ever get A50. 153 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,760 There is something that always could be, in our opinion, 154 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:50,400 improved or something that could be pointed out. 155 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,440 So that is what we fucking do. If that's not where you're here 156 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,320 for, if you just want like a quick little flip through, 157 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:57,600 there's a billion channels to do that. 158 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,480 You don't have to sit and watch us for two hours or listen to 159 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:01,720 us. Thank you, podcast listeners. 160 00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:07,960 So there you go. So this is Cosmos source. 161 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,160 What was, what's your, what's your, what's your initial 162 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:11,200 opinion? What's your, what's your take? 163 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,280 What's your one line? I think this is a fun, 164 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,400 lightweight game. It's it's a good entry point for 165 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,640 playing games. And I I think Saturday morning 166 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,560 cartoons, or just cartoons in general, are a thing that almost 167 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:22,920 everyone can latch on to at least a little bit. 168 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,200 Yeah, it's good. I mean, it's a very similar dice 169 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:31,080 mechanic to another game that was written by the same person. 170 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:34,320 And I like that mechanic 5. Which other game? 171 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,480 Primal. Yeah. 172 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,240 Oh yeah. Yeah. 173 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,520 Yeah, it's Primal Quest Nice. Which are good, yeah. 174 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:45,880 Yeah, I mean, it's, it's forged in the Dark, you know, And 175 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,960 what's funny is I didn't, I, I looked through the itch page and 176 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:50,880 I'm sure I've read this before but didn't remember it. 177 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,760 And right before the show started, I pointed it out. 178 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,920 I was more. Forged in dark than primal 179 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,120 quest, yeah. Primal Quest is kind of forged 180 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:58,640 in the dark, but like, just a little bit more. 181 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:00,360 It's a little there's enough of a distinction, though. 182 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,200 You're, you're more correct, Ryan, and that's the expert in 183 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:10,160 the show. Yeah, anyway, but I was like, 184 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,960 this feels like Prima Quest plus lasers and feelings is what it 185 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:15,920 feels like. And then I was reading the H 186 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,920 page and it literally said that like this is the combination of 187 00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,240 two Diego's favorite games, which is Lasers and feelings and 188 00:10:22,560 --> 00:10:25,680 Blades in the Dark, which is both John Harper, which will 189 00:10:25,680 --> 00:10:29,080 always astound me that one of the games that I genuinely not 190 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,040 games, one of the game books that I genuinely like the 191 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,280 absolute least. I, I would go so far as to say I 192 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:41,560 hate it is blades in the dark. But every other thing John 193 00:10:41,560 --> 00:10:43,440 Harper makes is like some of my favorite shit. 194 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,960 Like Wow, world of dungeons is one of my favorite games of all 195 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,280 time. Lasers and feelings is 196 00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,040 absolutely fantastic. Like they make so much awesome 197 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,000 stuff. And then I just, I just can't 198 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,360 stand blades in the dark. And I don't know if you saw that 199 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,560 there's like a new supplement to blades in the dark. 200 00:10:56,560 --> 00:10:59,520 That's like another 150 pages and I was like, there's nothing 201 00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,960 I want to read less than that. I could cut about 80 pages of 202 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,400 Blades of the Dark real easy. Yeah, I, I think we could cut 203 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,320 probably about 150 pages out of it and have it be like a, a 204 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,440 really solid book. In the exact same game. 205 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,360 And the exact same game. It's not the game that I just 206 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:16,920 like. It's a book. 207 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,840 I I love a lot of words in the dark stuff. 208 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:24,480 It's just anyway, we're not here to to harp on that. 209 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,920 No, I try not to be. So Cosmosaurus from Digo Noguera 210 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,720 again. Yeah, I I like this, this, this 211 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,240 gives me in in a very like kind of distant way, gives me Mouse 212 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,960 Rider a little bit in that like this is definitely kind of like 213 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:45,640 an intro game you can play with people, but experienced players 214 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:46,960 can still get a lot of joy from it. 215 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,480 I agree. And you can really do a lot with 216 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,120 this, just like Mouse rider. You can have like a fond of a 217 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:56,120 cute adventure or you could have some like brutal crazy thing. 218 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,480 Same with this, like you could have it be like fun super, no 219 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,480 one dies like kind of thing, or you could have it if you want to 220 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,480 spice it up a little bit and they allow for that in the game. 221 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:04,880 So it's cool. I enjoy it. 222 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,760 I fucking love the in Page spreads. 223 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,560 They're really very cool. They're so good and they 224 00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:14,120 definitely remind me of Primoquest. 225 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,640 Primo Quest in Space for sure. If you've seen the end pages for 226 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,640 Primoquest you will get those vibes instantaneously. 227 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,960 That this is clearly. I mean obviously Diego likes 228 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,800 dinosaurs. I mean I don't know why you make 229 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,880 2 dinosaur games and not but. I fuck with that. 230 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,360 Hey, who doesn't really? I mean, if you don't like 231 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,480 dinosaurs at least a little bit. You're lame. 232 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:39,480 Yeah, everyone had most nerds had at least a brief dinosaur 233 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:40,200 phase. I did. 234 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:42,840 You know, I miss Jurassic Park obsession. 235 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,840 But so. So for those in podcast land, 236 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,320 it's a black background. There is this group of dinosaur 237 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,320 images, kind of like amalgamated but. 238 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,360 I think it's like incredibly dark blue. 239 00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:00,280 I think it's the sky. Yeah, but at night there's no 240 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,680 color. Anyway, regardless there, it's 241 00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:05,800 very dark, whatever color in the background, there's like pink 242 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,920 dots, representative, kind of like stars a little bit. 243 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,520 There's a little bit of green digitalness on it and then 244 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:15,680 there's a very dark bluish images of these dinosaurs in 245 00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:18,080 this kind of like green circle that's all digitized. 246 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,400 It looks really cool. It's dinosaurs, but space and 247 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:21,480 it's awesome. It's gorgeous. 248 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,000 The vibrancy of the colors and then contrast is fantastic. 249 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,160 Getting into the next page. Oh, it's interesting. 250 00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:40,840 They Oh so this page is not in the PDF. 251 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,040 No. Yeah. 252 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:46,360 I haven't seen that page either because I read the PDF so. 253 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,600 Which is interesting. I would say this page, it's just 254 00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,680 the normal inside page, like the copyright page, all that kind of 255 00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:54,520 stuff. It's not in the PDF, but getting 256 00:13:54,520 --> 00:14:01,120 into the index, this is really interesting index page. 257 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:02,880 I really like it a lot. It took me a second to read the 258 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,480 background. It says summary in the 259 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:09,000 background, but it's got this like very kind of like tall 260 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,360 block, but like angled Texas as summary. 261 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,120 And then in the like kind of upward sweeps of the letters. 262 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:21,120 It has all the different like sections like how to play, how 263 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,040 combat works, the page numbers in pink. 264 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,840 And then there's these hexes of pieces of art throughout the 265 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,960 game, kind of like across the middle of it And then around are 266 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,440 the people that associate with the projects. 267 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,960 So, created around by the Naguera, edited by Talisa Sainz, 268 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,680 illustrated by Lucas Koblechek, character sheet by Franchita 269 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,320 Soto and layout by Gilliam Ray Gontijo. 270 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,000 Which, I mean, fucking obviously. 271 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:48,880 Yeah, yeah, right. I think this is a very stylish 272 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,000 page. You know, I think, I mean, a lot 273 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,240 of this book I think is very like, I don't want to keep 274 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,640 saying Saturday morning cartoon, but it's very like flashy, 275 00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,560 vibrant color stylish. I like the look of this game 276 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,760 overall. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 277 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,160 The layout, the colors, the art, like it, it really pops. 278 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,400 It's really fantastic. And yeah, I mean, obviously 279 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,240 we're a huge fan of Gontigio's layout here on the show, and 280 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:12,840 they fucking kill it the whole way through this. 281 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:19,240 So really, really great. So I will say there are no 282 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,400 hyperlinks. No at all. 283 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,320 They're bookmarks. Are there bookmarks? 284 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,720 No, there aren't. I have none. 285 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,040 Oh, what copy do you have? Do you have the ebook copy open? 286 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,280 No, I have the regular. One the ebook copy has 287 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:38,520 bookmarks. Oh interesting, I just realized 288 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,480 I opened up the. PDF and said the ebook as well 289 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,080 this time and it doesn't have it, but the ebook does in fact 290 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,760 have bookmarks. Not really sure why the PDF 291 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:53,880 doesn't have but. Let me I wonder if I mean, 292 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,680 there's no reason not to just snag that one if. 293 00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:03,960 If it's the same thing, but you know the same thing. 294 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:14,480 So let me give me one second here and I will just open up the 295 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,960 ebook version. Yeah, there we go. 296 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,720 Interesting. There's an ebook and PDF 297 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,320 version. Yeah, but the ebook version is 298 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:28,960 just a PDF called ebook. It's not an ebook, you know what 299 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,560 I mean? Like it's not like dot like Moby 300 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,240 or dot like anything like that. Like it's literally just it, 301 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,040 it's just Cosmosaurus under score ebook.pdf. 302 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,760 So it's it's no different, yeah. It's book box. 303 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,160 Let me just go to the two page view here. 304 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,480 So we'll get rid of. Well, I'll keep the other one 305 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:53,160 just in case somebody. So I will say that the ebook 1 306 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,120 is significantly larger. The regular 1 is like 38 307 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,160 megabytes and I think the ebook 1 is like almost 60. 308 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,400 It's literally like close to double as far as like the the 309 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,119 size of it. I think it comes through a 310 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:07,920 little bit in like the clarity of the images. 311 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:17,000 Yeah, yeah. So I mean, if you're I mean, I 312 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,800 can tell and I don't know if you on stream will be able to tell, 313 00:17:21,319 --> 00:17:24,319 but it does change like the vibrancy, the colors actually 314 00:17:24,319 --> 00:17:26,119 pops a little bit more. The black is like a true black. 315 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,440 The Blues are a lot brighter so. That must be why I saw it as not 316 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,600 black but blue. It might be like a standard def 317 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,120 and high def kind of thing. So and as I scroll through, you 318 00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:40,720 see it takes like half a second to load real quick. 319 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,760 So anyway, fucking for listen for you and Podcast land. 320 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,280 Thanks for listening to us sometimes because we forget 321 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,400 sometimes that there's people that can't see what we're doing. 322 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:54,200 And we always appreciate you.

I'm against that in games that 357 00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:38,280 clearly aren't for beginners. The only part in the entire book 358 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,520 that is for a beginner, nothing else about the book is. 359 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:43,400 Yeah.

If you go to your Zoom settings, 363 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,760 there's a thing in your in your in your video now called 364 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:57,600 portrait lighting. Check it out. 365 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,040 How do you play? This is an RPG. 366 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:02,080 We're not going to read this page. 367 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,360 It is literally like, what is an RPG? 368 00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:07,040 Like how do you do an art? Like this whole page is that it 369 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,040 says what do I need? It's dice and shit. 370 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,520 You don't need any of that. We're not going to read it. 371 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,280 It's a beautiful page. It's a black background. 372 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:17,720 There's like a, there's a Dino hand like throwing bone dice on 373 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,280 the page and it's cool and we're going to skip that page. 374 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:24,280 This is one of my biggest critiques. 375 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,800 This spread here pages 8:00 and 9:00, and we'll go over why in 376 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:30,400 just a second. But what are the rules that says 377 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,120 when your character is attempting something risky? 378 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,440 So this is the core mechanic of the entire game. 379 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,320 First of all, thank you for putting the core rules before 380 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,040 character creation. This is exactly how in my 381 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,160 opinion, and I've won Hunter over in the course of, you know, 382 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,320 177 episodes. We don't need all the mechanics, 383 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,240 just enough to know how to play before character creation, and 384 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:52,800 that's what they do here. So what are the rules? 385 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:57,520 Basically you roll a number of D sixes equal to your appropriate 386 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,640 attribute and then you look at the highest result to determine 387 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,400 the outcome according to the following table. 388 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:05,400 Except the table does not follow it. 389 00:21:07,360 --> 00:21:09,960 Only players roll dice in this game. 390 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,760 So it's a it's it's, it's a player facing roles, right? 391 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,160 What if I roll multiple sixes? If you manage to roll multiple 392 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:21,800 sixes, you get boons. You get like bonuses based on 393 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,200 that. And there is a table saying what 394 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,520 those kind of bonuses are not really next to it. 395 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:30,880 And then it says optional rule difficulty. 396 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,720 This game's mechanic is pretty simple and flexible. 397 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,200 It's intended to be used pretty much on every occasion a test is 398 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,200 needed, as they are only required when the situation is 399 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:43,080 difficult enough. A highly capable cosmos or would 400 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:48,640 have a chance to fail. And then next to that below the 401 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,200 the bloom. Table. 402 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,560 Yeah. Well, no, because next to that 403 00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:59,920 is is the role results on the next page is the actual optional 404 00:21:59,920 --> 00:22:04,200 role difficulty chart, which makes no sense. 405 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,120 So it took me like I looked at it because I can't. 406 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,080 So when you're actually looking the page for those in podcast 407 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,760 land, the top, it's basically if you think of the page, the 408 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,680 quadrant, the top left is the what are the rules page, right. 409 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,280 The bottom left says what if I roll multiple sixes? 410 00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:22,480 And then under that it says option rule difficulty, which is 411 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,360 something to do with difficulty. The top right is a pink box that 412 00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:28,320 has the if you roll multiple sixes stuff. 413 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,280 So it says 'cause additional effects appropriate to the task, 414 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,200 reduce the time needed to accomplish the task by half, 415 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,240 secure an extra D6 to add to your next task role. 416 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,480 They call it a task role there, but that's like the only time I 417 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,800 see them use like task role through the entire thing. 418 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:48,360 Do they say test a lot of times through other things, add a new 419 00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:50,640 narrative element to the story appropriate to the character's 420 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,840 background and it switches fonts like halfway through. 421 00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:05,120 But and then below that it's, it is the mix success guide for 422 00:23:05,120 --> 00:23:10,040 your roles, which on the bottom right of the page, which go with 423 00:23:10,120 --> 00:23:12,240 the rules on the top left of the page. 424 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:17,880 So none of the tables that we're talking about are next to or 425 00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:19,240 follow where. They're referred. 426 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,520 Where they're referred to, but there's four different types of 427 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,040 success or failure here. The first is a disastrous 428 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,520 failure. It's what it sounds like. 429 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,720 That's not a 12 to 3:00 is a regular failure, so that's act 430 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,760 for you. 4 to 5 is a partial success, the attempt to set task 431 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,960 succeeds but as a cost, and then 6 is a full success. 432 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,240 So the point of the game is, to Long story short, again very 433 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:45,600 forged in the dark. You have attribute scores right? 434 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,640 And if that attribute is 3, you would roll 3D sixes. 435 00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:51,400 You would look at the mix success table. 436 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,200 Everything from 4:00 up is at least a partial success or a 437 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,080 full success. If you get a six, it's a 438 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:58,560 success. If you get multiple sixes, you 439 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:04,800 get bonuses such as another D6 on your next roll or or granting 440 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,600 an allied sixes. Super simple, super easy, very 441 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,760 slim forts in the dark. Like it. 442 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,880 I love it. I I'd like dice. 443 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,360 I like dice pools. I know you're a big fan. 444 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,880 The only thing better than a dice pool is a dice pool with a 445 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,840 mixed success. Like got to love that shit. 446 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,160 So then on the next page we see the difficulty, the optional 447 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:31,040 rule difficulty table, and it says you subtract 1D6 from a 448 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,920 player's dice pool in very difficult tasks, subtract 2D6 449 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,480 extremely difficult and three D6 and almost impossible tasks. 450 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,760 So that's optional. It says however, blah blah blah, 451 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,160 win not to roll dice. There's a whole section here on 452 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,160 win not to roll dice. Basically it says like Cosmos 453 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:50,560 oars are really fucking good at what they do. 454 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:55,000 So unless it's like for the most part, they just get to do the 455 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,400 thing like you don't have to have them like they're going to 456 00:24:57,400 --> 00:25:00,360 climb over this wall. No, but they're going to scale a 457 00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:04,320 500 foot wall. Yes, roll like you're you're 458 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:08,760 super badass like Cosmos or space Ranger dudes. 459 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:10,400 Like you can do cool stuff without having a roll. 460 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,840 I do like this page, but I don't understand why. 461 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,720 And this is what I would do for these two page spreads. 462 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,520 See how there's some space, but like on the second page, spread 463 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:22,960 in the bottom, like the bottom, right, right. 464 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:27,840 So if they would have just swapped the mix success table 465 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,360 underneath, what are the rules? And then just move down. 466 00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:32,840 What if I rolled them all to the sixes? 467 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,720 So then part of optional rule difficulty would be on the next 468 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:37,520 page. They could just move the next 469 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,240 thing down and there'd be enough for all of it. 470 00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,400 And you could actually have the table next to where it goes. 471 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,040 And it would make a lot more sense because even if you just 472 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,800 place switched optional difficulty in that table, then 473 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,240 the next thing after it would at least be the table, not a 474 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,400 different table. So it's just a very weird spread 475 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:59,680 here of three basically tables that are not next to the the 476 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:03,880 rules listed for them. So anyway, I think you. 477 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,280 Put all of the words on one page and say refer to the tables on 478 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,320 the opposite page and then the next page is all the tables. 479 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:12,840 You could. You could even have ABC. 480 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:15,480 I've also been reading a lot of OSC recently so. 481 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:22,440 There you go, that'll do it. How combat works. 482 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,360 This is a cool picture. Here again, I I genuinely do not 483 00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:29,800 like pages right, I like or I'm sorry spreads. 484 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,200 I like pages when I read my PFS, but I will say the fonts in this 485 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,880 are pretty pretty big. Amazingly readable. 486 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,040 Yeah, they're large. It's a lot of it's like black on 487 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,080 white or like white on pink or it's, they're very legible. 488 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,240 And there's very little kind of for each page, like if you, if 489 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:52,120 you this is like a 75 ish page book, I think that you could do 490 00:26:52,120 --> 00:26:57,280 in 35 pages if you with less art and just doing like 2 columns. 491 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,040 So they, I think they did a really good job of spacing out, 492 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:04,640 spreading it out, making it very readable, making it like, I 493 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:06,480 think there is definitely a thought to like younger 494 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,960 audiences potentially reading this and not being overwhelmed 495 00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,560 and per page, but also getting like cool art to pull them in. 496 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,120 Like this one, for example, there's like this cosmos right 497 00:27:16,120 --> 00:27:18,120 in the bottom right doing this like badass pose. 498 00:27:18,120 --> 00:27:22,200 Shoot this big fucking laser gun at in the top left of the next 499 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,600 page of this like weird space, this wizard thing that's got 500 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:28,160 like eyeballs coming out of its hat, but no face. 501 00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:33,680 It's so cool, so great, Paige. And there's like one paragraph 502 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:36,080 on on on two paragraphs on one side and like a table on the 503 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,280 other. And that's the entire two page 504 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,120 spread. But it is how combat works. 505 00:27:40,120 --> 00:27:42,520 Combat happens in turns with each participant allowed to move 506 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:44,280 around and take action. It's like normal. 507 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:48,400 It's it's a game who acts first. The GM determines who acts first 508 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,360 according to the circumstances. However, if they want to, they 509 00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:55,000 can roll, and there is a die roll on the next side. 510 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,480 Everything's going to be 1 and then two to three, four to five, 511 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,240 and six to the entire game. So I don't need to say that at 512 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:01,400 your time. So it's a roll table. 513 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:05,160 There's frozen, which means the PCs are surprised slower. 514 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:07,720 The enemies are faster than the PCs and act first. 515 00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,120 They're simultaneous. The PCs and enemies act at the 516 00:28:11,120 --> 00:28:12,880 same time. That means their effects happen 517 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:19,240 together, which I don't like that. 518 00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,720 Honestly, like that, like I understand it in theory, but for 519 00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:26,560 me I'm just like, they're gonna. Resolve practice. 520 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,160 Yeah, in practice, 1 still has to go first. 521 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,240 Do you know what I mean? Unless you're just like, fuck 522 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,320 it, it's like we're shuffling the deck. 523 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,320 So you go, you go, you go, you go like back and forth. 524 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:38,680 And then six is faster. I would just honestly like I'd 525 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,520 like that the tables are consistent whatever, but 526 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,440 realistically just do like Mark Borg and like one through 3 527 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,080 enemies go first, four through 6 players go 1st and then just be 528 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,680 done with it next page. How do I attack and how do I 529 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,400 defend? Cool little two page spread one 530 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,000 on black one on white with this like cute little fucking 531 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:58,440 dinosaur cosmosaur. Like like dude. 532 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,760 I love that he's peeking around like the table though too. 533 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,920 Like it's, it's so good. So how do I attack? 534 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:08,040 When you attack, you say what you were doing, what weapon are 535 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:10,040 you using, and what effect you are aiming for. 536 00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,920 The GM determines how dangerous the action is and what effect it 537 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,200 can accomplish, whether that attack can be mortal or not. 538 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,080 And if anything makes the task more difficult, then you roll. 539 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:21,520 I will say one of the things I note throughout the entire book 540 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,800 is there's a lot of typos. I'm not going to point them all 541 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,040 out, but there's definitely, there's a couple of big ones 542 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:28,120 where like whole words are missing. 543 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:30,560 There's sometimes where there's like an extra, an extra space. 544 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,440 You know, it is what it is. I know, like I said, they do go 545 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:41,280 rush us a little bit to, to get it out, but it is just, it's 546 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:47,000 just something I noticed. Again, it's not a big deal, but 547 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,040 that's what I did this whole spiel earlier about how we're 548 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,840 fucking pedantic about shit. So I'm gonna be and say that 549 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:55,520 there are a decent amount of typos throughout this book. 550 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:56,800 That's the one thing I didn't notice. 551 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,280 We warned y'all ahead of time. Listen, we're disclaiming now. 552 00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:04,960 I disclaimed, right. So how do you attack? 553 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,960 It's the it's the same, it's the same text as everything. 554 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:09,960 Like you, you roll your 2D sixes and stuff like that. 555 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:15,120 If you have stuff that can help you, it might change the number 556 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,040 of things you can do. So again, if there's a mixed 557 00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:22,800 success table, there's a fumble on one, a miss on two to three, 558 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,240 a hit on four to five and a solid hit on six. 559 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:28,600 So the hit it says your attack, your opponent causes one damage. 560 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,600 That's it's one damage, but you open yourself up for their 561 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:37,040 attacks, reducing your next defend test by -1 D 6. 562 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,600 So if you get a four through 5, you get to hit, but you reduce 563 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,480 your next time you can a defense you you lose AD 6 next time and 564 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:50,400 on a solid hit you attack decisively 'cause one damage and 565 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,920 and and no one gets to take you back. 566 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:55,440 I like that it's just one damage and that's it. 567 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,840 Like you're done. Like super clean. 568 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:04,280 I just I also I love this format of 1D6 mix success. 569 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,280 I think it works really well. I know he said it earlier, but I 570 00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:13,000 think in combat still like the whole partial success on a hit, 571 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,080 I always really enjoy that. It makes combat feel like your 572 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,760 trade in blows, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I like that a 573 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,000 lot. And I mean, it's simultaneous, 574 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,120 right? So like you could like in this, 575 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:28,400 in this instance, right, you could just have the enemy 576 00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,800 immediately hit back so that you don't have to remember that you 577 00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:35,120 lost a 1D6, right. So that's cool. 578 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:37,720 Yeah. I mean I that's The thing is I 579 00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,240 we said this much like I, I don't mind Pbta games, but I 580 00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:44,960 really dislike Apocalypse world. I I really like forests and dark 581 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:46,800 games, but I really dislike blades in the dark. 582 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,400 It's just I think early PBT's had this problem of like over 583 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,960 explaining by like 10 times. Yeah, I mean, I like, I like the 584 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,920 game. Blades in the Dark. 585 00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:00,520 Yeah, it's the yeah, I like the game. 586 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,560 I think yeah, we won't get into anymore. 587 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:07,480 But yeah, I agree with Go. Listen to our episode How Do I 588 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,160 Defend? When your opponent attacks you, 589 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,720 you defend, right? You say what you're gonna do and 590 00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,000 do stuff. There's there's a lot of cool 591 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,240 words in this, like you will try to defend yourself however you 592 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,240 can. You can dodge the laser blades 593 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:22,960 of the dark matter assassins and dismiss the false accusations of 594 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,000 the corrupt alien diplomat and the Academy of Cosmosaurus 595 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:27,440 because we're going to get into it. 596 00:32:27,440 --> 00:32:29,760 It's not just fighting. You use the same kind of like 597 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,560 attack and defense for social situations, which is fantastic. 598 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:34,640 I love it. It very much reminds me of Cyber 599 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,880 Metal 2012 where it's just like, it's just conflict that you're 600 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,040 resolving, whatever that looks like. 601 00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,480 And I, I really appreciate like the open format that keeps you 602 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,560 from being locked into like, this is a combat game or this is 603 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,520 not a combat game. It's just whatever conflict 604 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:52,720 you're trying to overcome. Yeah, I wish a lot more games to 605 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:54,600 do that. Like, you know, we, we we talked 606 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,440 all the time about 5 E and how it's a combat game because 607 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,280 there's just rules for combat and and being like, oh, but like 608 00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:04,960 there aren't like there, there aren't any socials. 609 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,840 You can do whatever. Social game because there are no 610 00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,680 rules for social. So that's. 611 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:11,400 Stupid. That's stupid. 612 00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:13,640 And I'm going to explain. Give me 10 seconds because I'm 613 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,320 explaining why that's stupid. Because like, if you don't, we 614 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:20,200 talked about this in another ship review, a thing can be 615 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,840 missing from a system, but if you acknowledge that it is 616 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,720 missing and explain that it's missing for a reason, it becomes 617 00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,640 part of the system. If you do not acknowledge the 618 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:30,760 missing thing at all, it is just a missing thing. 619 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,520 It is not part of the system. Because without acknowledging, 620 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,080 without explaining why it is there right, there is no intent 621 00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,400 in it. There is no death of the author. 622 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,520 This isn't literature. This is an instruction manual. 623 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,760 If you are missing an instruction, it is just missing. 624 00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,000 Like you can't have like an instruction man. 625 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:50,040 If I had to put a refrigerator together and like not have 626 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,640 instructions for how to put the door on and just be like you can 627 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:56,480 put it on however you want. Like that's not how fucking 628 00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:58,040 instruction manuals work people. Come on. 629 00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,800 So anyway, I really love the conflict thing and how you can 630 00:34:03,800 --> 00:34:07,400 have social rules without having to define social rules separate 631 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,280 from other conflict. It's fucking fantastic. 632 00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,840 I, I will say that my refrigerator has like the the 633 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,080 lifted like the event door kind of like thing because I put the, 634 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:19,040 I put the hinges on top, so. Yeah, gotcha. 635 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,400 It's really hard to get. Into sometimes. 636 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,760 You know what a lot of people don't fucking know? 637 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:26,520 That like almost 100% of refrigerators out there, you can 638 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,639 switch which day the door opens if you want. 639 00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,199 It's just attached off the top. You can just like stick it out 640 00:34:31,199 --> 00:34:33,560 and put it on the other side. If your refrigerator opens in a 641 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:35,760 way you don't like, trust me, there's a way you can just make 642 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,840 it open the other way. I, you know, there you go. 643 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,360 So when your opponents attack you, you defend, right? 644 00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,080 So it's the same shit. It's the exact same type of 645 00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:44,280 role. There's, you know, there's a 646 00:34:44,280 --> 00:34:47,280 four, the four variances. There's you step into the 647 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,679 attack, which means you actually walk right into it and you take 648 00:34:50,679 --> 00:34:53,679 the shot right to the fucking face and you take 2 damage, 649 00:34:53,679 --> 00:34:56,480 which is crazy that the opponent can always do more damage than 650 00:34:56,480 --> 00:35:01,800 you can do they hit you for one damage. 4:00 to 5:00 is a close 651 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:04,280 miss. You avoided the attack you get 652 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,040 You get distracted however and the next time you defend you do 653 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:12,720 it with a - 1 D 6 penalty which sucks for you and then six is 654 00:35:12,720 --> 00:35:14,360 you miss and avoid the attack completely. 655 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:21,520 I do like that the the only like the the solid hit, like the 656 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:25,200 total miss, like it's just sixes, like you know, and the 657 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,520 vast majority where you're going to get is like 2 to fives 658 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,120 throughout the entire thing, which of course, that's a core 659 00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:33,360 of of the system. But it's really great how damage 660 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:34,680 works. It says when you suffer damage, 661 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,440 you mark it on appropriate attribute. 662 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,960 I mean you only have two. All physical stuff is for sore 663 00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,720 and all intellectual stuff is for Cosmo and very lasers and 664 00:35:43,720 --> 00:35:45,680 feelings kind of way. I love it. 665 00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:49,160 It's really good. It's so good. 666 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:50,640 I wish they would have flipped that though. 667 00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:53,120 So it said Cosmo and then sore instead of sore and then Cosmo. 668 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:55,320 Yeah. It is weird that they didn't do 669 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,280 that right there, but I mean, I guess they just referred to 670 00:35:57,280 --> 00:35:59,960 physical damage doesn't matter. Well, I guess they didn't. 671 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,560 Yeah, just damage. But anyway, so in in very much 672 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:05,840 obviously this is the lasers and feelings part and we haven't 673 00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:07,000 talked about it yet, but now we get 2. 674 00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:08,680 You have two stats and that's it. 675 00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:13,320 You have Cosmo and sore and it is it is brain stuff and body 676 00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,800 stuff and like, that's it. Dope. 677 00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,720 How are you taken out? How do you want to get taken 678 00:36:19,720 --> 00:36:22,960 out, buddy? Oh, I'd like Saturday night too. 679 00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,440 And yeah, Saturday night, a nice dinner, you know, lobster. 680 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,960 Lobster is fucking peasant food, what are you talking about? 681 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:34,200 Dude, I love me a lobster bro. Lobster's Lobster's gross crab 682 00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:35,760 is Farsi. Crab. 683 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:42,360 Arguably, crab is in fact. Lobster sucks so bad and used to 684 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,200 be so prevalent that there was a prison riot because the 685 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:48,440 prisoners were tired of getting fed lobster every day. 686 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:54,440 It was literally peasant food that the bourgeois like adopted 687 00:36:54,440 --> 00:37:00,520 and took on themselves as they normally do to to steal things 688 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,800 make themselves feel rich. But yeah, lobster is very 689 00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:05,560 stringy. Crab is far superior. 690 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:06,840 Odds and ends. Yes, crab. 691 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:09,800 Crab is where it's at, except I'm beginning. 692 00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,520 I don't eat sea spiders anymore so how are you taking out? 693 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,960 This is basically like if you hit zero and you're knocked out. 694 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,080 How does this work for you? Right. 695 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:23,080 If your Cosmos sword takes enough damage, they can be taken 696 00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:28,120 out if you this is so I think there's a bit of a language 697 00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,080 barrier in some of this stuff. They're out too. 698 00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:34,320 It says if you even have more damage marks than points in your 699 00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:36,520 attribute, and I think it would read a little bit cleaner. 700 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,600 It says if you have even more damage marks than points in your 701 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:44,160 attribute, you need to make an attribute test, which is like a 702 00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,120 third different way to call the test that you do in the game 703 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,000 task test attribute. Like, yeah, wow. 704 00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,360 I didn't even realize the task one. 705 00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,040 I didn't realize until you read it out loud. 706 00:37:54,040 --> 00:37:55,640 And I was like, oh, it's this task. 707 00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,880 But so if you have even more damage marks than points in your 708 00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,600 attribute, you need to make an attribute test, reducing the 709 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,640 number of dice you roll by how many marks you have over your 710 00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:11,640 attribute score. The result will be determined in 711 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:12,800 accordance with the following table. 712 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,560 So what that means is say that you have 3 in the attribute, 713 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,400 right? And at the end of the round or 714 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,640 whatever, you have 5 damage because maybe like you were 715 00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,080 right at three and the last one, like you had the one in a 716 00:38:24,080 --> 00:38:26,560 critical. So that means you're at 5 for 717 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:31,960 your attributes at three, right? So you would roll 3 dice, but 718 00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,120 because you're at 5:00, that's two over your attribute. 719 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:35,680 You have to remove two of those dice. 720 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,520 So you only get to roll one. And then you would look at this 721 00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,600 table again, a mix success table. 722 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,080 On the one you're completely out, that could be dead or 723 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:46,560 however you want it to be. Two to three, you're taken out 724 00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:49,560 and you're out of the scene until someone comes to help you. 725 00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:54,600 Four to five, you're not OK. It's a close call, but you get 726 00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,200 distracted and the next time you defend, you get a -, 26 penalty. 727 00:38:57,200 --> 00:39:01,320 I like the consistency through. And then on 6, you, you just 728 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:05,680 buckle up and keep going. You like you just suck it up and 729 00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:06,800 you're good to go. And that's it. 730 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:14,560 It's. Yeah. 731 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,360 So being taken out, like it says, being taken out can be a 732 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:21,320 bunch of different things. If you know if it's it's a set 733 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:22,920 of morning cartoon. How many times did the street 734 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:24,120 Turks die like? Never. 735 00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,320 Yeah, it's a thing like it kind of depends on the context for 736 00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,200 your table and how you guys are playing this game. 737 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:31,280 But it does give a lot of examples like didn't take it 738 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,880 out, doesn't necessarily mean dying, but. 739 00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:36,800 Yeah, yeah. But yeah, I do like him. 740 00:39:36,800 --> 00:39:38,880 It talks about in social conflict. 741 00:39:39,720 --> 00:39:41,320 Give us an example. Like in the Senate, you may have 742 00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,560 been so utterly humiliated that you can't summon enough 743 00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:48,080 strengths to speak, or no one might be willing to listen to 744 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:49,680 you again. That's the way that that works. 745 00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,440 I really like. It's a great idea, yeah. 746 00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:58,080 I really enjoy using combat mechanics in social situations. 747 00:39:58,080 --> 00:40:00,960 It's just it feels nice. So there's a whole. 748 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,080 Page those are social mechanics so. 749 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,320 Well, yeah, listen, because in real life, that's about as much 750 00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:10,880 combat as we usually get. So can my cosmosaur die? 751 00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:12,480 There's a whole question here. Yeah. 752 00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,480 They, they. Yeah, if you want them to. 753 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,160 If not, just whatever the table wants. 754 00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:19,760 I do like this scene here though with like the kind of like 755 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,000 brontosaurus cosmosaur like saluting. 756 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:27,040 The yeah, the space. Casket the space. 757 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:27,680 Casket. Yeah. 758 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:29,960 Yeah, getting launched out in the window. 759 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,280 It's dope. How to avoid damage? 760 00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,360 This is one of the parts where like we haven't pointed out a 761 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,920 lot of the typos. There's a completely missing 762 00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:38,520 word here though on this one. So it says you can avoid damage 763 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,680 by sacrificing some aspects of your character. 764 00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,800 So that this is line. It just starts with under like a 765 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,120 lowercase you would take damage. I think it should. 766 00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,600 I think it's supposed to say like if you would take damage, 767 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,280 but the word the if is missing completely. 768 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,560 There's just like period. And then it just starts another 769 00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,280 sentence with like an under, like a lowercase Y is. 770 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:04,200 The same way in the book. Pages is 15. 771 00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,200 I would be shocked if it wasn't. You know. 772 00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:12,120 I would be. Well, sometimes we were pulling 773 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,080 PDF stuff and we're like, oh, there's a type of hit and I pull 774 00:41:14,080 --> 00:41:16,120 up in the book or you do and it's like, oh, it's not there. 775 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,200 So it's not even the same page number in the book as page 13 in 776 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:20,600 the book. Oh. 777 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:26,200 But it's still in there. Oh wow, I. 778 00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,240 Tried regardless again, we we talked about the, the 779 00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:30,800 circumstances in which this game come out. 780 00:41:30,800 --> 00:41:33,040 So like we're like, you know, yeah. 781 00:41:33,040 --> 00:41:34,640 And we know it came out a little quicker. 782 00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:36,160 Yeah. I wouldn't mind a second 783 00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,040 addition to this with a little bit of expansion and stuff like 784 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:39,840 that. But regardless, let's see what 785 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:42,360 we've got here. So, so basically what how it 786 00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:46,280 works is you can you can reduce physical damage by discarding a 787 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,800 piece of equipment. And it's just not anything like 788 00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:49,840 the way equipment works in this game. 789 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,800 We'll get to a little bit later. But there's things that are 790 00:41:51,800 --> 00:41:55,040 significant equipment, which is important stuff. 791 00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,680 And basically you can sacrifice one of these important pieces of 792 00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,560 equipment to just not take the damage, Right. 793 00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:05,280 And then or if that's a physical attack, if it's a mental attack, 794 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:10,440 you can literally sacrifice your capital K knowledge to avoid it. 795 00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,840 So basically like you will forget an important thing, 796 00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:18,600 right? And it leaves you confused and 797 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:21,120 forgetful. But you can continue forward 798 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,280 without taking that damage and it can be recovered. 799 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,800 The gear and the knowledge can be recovered because like next 800 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,440 time you're able to go somewhere, you can buy new gear, 801 00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,440 you can just get new gear and next time you're able to like 802 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:35,680 rest and and study up, you can like remember the thing that you 803 00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,200 forgot. So it's not permanent. 804 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:42,080 So it is very lenient. I like this here, but boy do I 805 00:42:42,080 --> 00:42:43,920 love it when we get to spaceships. 806 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,120 Yeah, because it's pretty much the same, but kind of. 807 00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,200 Yeah, yeah, yeah, the spaceship is an interesting page. 808 00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:55,800 I'm I'm, I'm into the idea. We'll get there, but. 809 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,560 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It gives me a tiny bit of 810 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:01,320 Necronautilus. A tiny bit, kind of. 811 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:03,560 Kind of, yeah, I could see it, yeah. 812 00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:10,200 So who is my Cosmos or this is starting to hit character 813 00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:11,480 creation? Do you want to go over this one 814 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,840 or you want me to keep? Going yeah. 815 00:43:14,240 --> 00:43:18,360 Hey, first of all, first of all the art on this page, Fox, like 816 00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:19,480 so hard. Absolutely. 817 00:43:20,520 --> 00:43:24,240 Yeah, I love the so there's a the the same Brontosaurus guy, 818 00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:27,600 but he's got like a bazooka gun in his like yellow suit. 819 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,040 There's the same little that's the same Tyrannosaurus. 820 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:33,680 Because if you look at like the thing in his hand, it's the same 821 00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:36,200 thing of the guy that was like popping up from behind the table 822 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:43,160 and then this guy at the bottom rocking this like like space 823 00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:49,760 scooter situation is so cool. But what's interesting is like, 824 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,640 I can't I know it's the brontosaur tail in the 825 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,800 background, but to me it almost looks like a fin coming out of 826 00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,040 the the top of the suit. I. 827 00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,920 Guess I can kind of see that. Yeah, anyway, yeah, really, 828 00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,680 really, really fantastic spread of like 3 of the dinosaurs, 829 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,480 Cosmosaurus you see frequently throughout the book. 830 00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:07,840 So anyway, so who's your cosmos? Who's your Cosmosaurus? 831 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:13,040 Hey, you were a dinosaur in space, exploring, you know, 832 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:17,800 being soldiers against evil. That's what your cousin Sword 833 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,920 does. So what defines them? 834 00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,800 Pretty much. You need to pick a name, a 835 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:25,720 species, a role and an attribute. 836 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:30,280 And these are all things that have a pretty fun role. 837 00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,600 Tables. A name? 838 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:40,280 Yeah, choose a cool name. There is a table of names, but 839 00:44:40,280 --> 00:44:42,680 there's no real rule for determining names. 840 00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,720 It says but you can't use a cool roll table, which I'm always a 841 00:44:45,720 --> 00:44:47,880 fan of. Oh, do you do? 842 00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:51,960 You roll name, man. Oh hell yeah, I want to roll a 843 00:44:51,960 --> 00:44:53,240 name. You pull up that really cool 844 00:44:53,240 --> 00:44:55,360 digital roller, you guy. Yeah, show it off. 845 00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,440 Because it's because it's space themed. 846 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,600 I'm going to rock with the with the digital roller here, my nice 847 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,840 little you can't hear it because like I maybe you can hear if I 848 00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:05,680 do it while I'm talking. But the little click, the 849 00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:10,720 clackadies. I love the same nothing so that 850 00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:12,560 NVIDIA broadcast. Thank you for cutting that shit. 851 00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:15,720 That's not my voice. That's why my mic can be right 852 00:45:15,720 --> 00:45:17,600 next to my click the click the keyboard. 853 00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:24,400 So all right, so it's AD 66 table, which makes sense because 854 00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:25,680 all you have D sixes for the game. 855 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:31,000 So I will roll I guess 2D sixes because this this has AD 856 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:43,240 246-810-1220 and 100, so 4/4, 40. 444 Boulder. 857 00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:46,880 The Boulder. That's me. 858 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:48,960 That's called my. Dog's name, which is Boulder. 859 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,440 Yeah. The Boulder, the dinosaur, yeah. 860 00:45:55,440 --> 00:46:03,000 So you also pick a species, what kind of dinosaur you are, choose 861 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:04,040 one. Keep in mind when you're playing 862 00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:06,240 the game, whatever your character is doing something 863 00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:08,440 that their species would be particularly good at, they add 864 00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,200 AD 6 to the role. And whenever your character is 865 00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:13,360 doing something their species would be particularly bad at, 866 00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:18,160 you take a negative or a 1D6 penalty to the role. 867 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:21,120 A very consistent. Rule that we'll see consistent 868 00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,800 Yep OK so I got is there a species? 869 00:46:24,800 --> 00:46:26,320 Table. Yeah, go ahead and roll for. 870 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:34,440 That yeah, 1212 Albertosaurus. Albertosaurus. 871 00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:37,360 I gotta Google it real quick. See an Albertosaurus? 872 00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:40,320 Some persons listening like you know an Albertosaurus is. 873 00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:42,160 You know what Parasauralophus is? 874 00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,040 I mean, come on. Okay, cool. 875 00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:46,120 It's like, you know, it's a dinosaur. 876 00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,880 It's a bipedal predator with short arms and two fingers on 877 00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,640 each arm. So yeah, I would say anything 878 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:56,680 using your hands dexterously, you're probably going to take a 879 00:46:56,920 --> 00:47:01,000 1D6 penalty on those actions because you guys got tiny hands. 880 00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:04,240 Got short little tiny hands. Let me let me, I'll throw this 881 00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:14,410 for for those in those in the in in podcast land. 882 00:47:14,410 --> 00:47:16,050 You're not going to go see this.

Very fine. 913 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:23,760 Yeah. Cosmo is anything intellect or 914 00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,320 social based and sore is anything physical. 915 00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,120 To flush out your cosmos or even more, this is I'm sorry, what 916 00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:33,280 are they good at? To flush out your cosmos or even 917 00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:35,080 more, come up with two things they're good at. 918 00:49:36,080 --> 00:49:39,200 This could be a skill, profession C or profession 919 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,200 talents, craft or anything relevant. 920 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:43,520 Whatever your character is doing something that they're good at, 921 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:47,240 they add one D6. And inversely, what are they bad 922 00:49:47,240 --> 00:49:49,040 at? Now choose something that 923 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,400 they're bad at. I love the one that they give an 924 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,320 example right here. Like math, like yeah you're a 925 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:59,680 space fairing Tyrannosaurus Rex but fuck it bro it is hard to do 926 00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,320 addition in your head. Yeah, can't do math. 927 00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,680 Listen, they can't see their fingers to to count, you know 928 00:50:05,720 --> 00:50:06,360 what I mean? That's so. 929 00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:07,840 True, they can't count the fingers. 930 00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,920 I think you skipped you skipped how many points you get in the 931 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,240 attributes up there at the top paragraph. 932 00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:17,360 Oh, I totally did and I am sorry. 933 00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:22,680 So backtracking, I'm sorry, to your two attributes, you get 5 934 00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,760 points to assign to each of them, each point fighting one 935 00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:30,720 dive. What was that? 936 00:50:30,720 --> 00:50:32,240 What did you? Do Oh, it was just me saying 5 937 00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:35,040 like I was just saying you held. Up two hands like I'm pretty 938 00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:38,320 sure it doesn't say 10 buddy. Well, yeah, so well, well, it 939 00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:40,480 said five to each. I was like 5 to each. 940 00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,640 I was like, wait, you only get 5, you don't get 10 points. 941 00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:46,480 So at least 5 to a. Sign between the two. 942 00:50:47,720 --> 00:50:52,720 These each are directly, Yeah. I cannot think of words like 943 00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,320 however many points you have in a status, how many die you can 944 00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:58,680 use from that step. One point is one die. 945 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:01,200 That's how this game works, damn it. 946 00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,440 And I like that it's 5 specifically because like, first 947 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,880 of all, like two or three is, is a great number of die to roll, 948 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,040 right? But you're always going to be 949 00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:13,160 better at one thing then because like you can't even split. 950 00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,680 So you're either going to have the best you can do is 3/2 or 951 00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,800 2/3 to get as close as possible, or you can go 41. 952 00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,920 Does it say that there's a minimum of points? 953 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:26,320 My assumption, I don't think it does. 954 00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:28,680 My assumption would be that like you have to have at least one, 955 00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:29,720 right? Because you have to be able to 956 00:51:29,720 --> 00:51:31,560 roll. Everything in sorry literally 957 00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:35,600 I'm playing just a dinosaur. Like completely unable to speak 958 00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:39,200 or function other than just being a gigantic lizard monster. 959 00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,480 So just a regular dinosaur? Like just. 960 00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,240 A regular dinosaur. But there's always that one, 961 00:51:44,240 --> 00:51:45,280 right? Whenever those things are 962 00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,760 playing like, like animal like things, there's one that's like, 963 00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:50,040 oh, that's the one that's like pretty much just the animal 964 00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:54,240 still, you know what I mean? Yeah, Pluto is still just a dog, 965 00:51:54,240 --> 00:51:56,280 right? Yeah. 966 00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,160 OK, so we did. What are you good at? 967 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,800 What are you bad at? And now we're going to do What 968 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:06,480 gear are they carrying? Yeah, your console gets a number 969 00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:10,920 of significant items equal to their sore score because how big 970 00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,160 and strong you are and how much you can hold in your little tiny 971 00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:16,240 hands, One of your characters doing something in which that 972 00:52:16,240 --> 00:52:18,960 their item, they have their gear would be particularly useful. 973 00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:23,080 That will also give you a 1D6 bonus to their role. 974 00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:25,520 Very consistent, very simple rule set. 975 00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:28,040 It really is just it's D6 is all the way down. 976 00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:30,000 You get bonuses or you get penalties. 977 00:52:30,240 --> 00:52:33,560 That's this entire game and I love it. 978 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,160 Remember, you can sacrifice these significant items to avoid 979 00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:39,480 damage. These are the things that you 980 00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:44,560 can sacrifice. So that means like if you if you 981 00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:49,040 have a sore of like 3, you get 3 cool things and if you don't 982 00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:51,320 want to take damage you're just like boom there goes my fucking 983 00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:56,880 laser gun, you know? Yeah, what do they know? 984 00:52:56,880 --> 00:52:59,240 This is another one. What, is there something that 985 00:52:59,240 --> 00:53:02,920 you're, you're causatory, specifically knowledgeable about 986 00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,680 ancient Roman history, blah blah blah blah blah. 987 00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:10,200 Once again, if your knowledge would be particularly useful in 988 00:53:10,200 --> 00:53:13,200 something, you get a 1D6 addition to your role. 989 00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,200 And also, once again, a little side note, remember, it says 990 00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,320 right here on the bottom that this is the knowledge that you 991 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:23,640 can sacrifice to avoid taking damage. 992 00:53:27,240 --> 00:53:31,600 All right, what else? So you have pronouns, 993 00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:34,400 personality, appearance, and interest. 994 00:53:34,720 --> 00:53:37,720 These are all just fleshing out your your character overall. 995 00:53:37,720 --> 00:53:39,400 No need to really deep dive each and all of those. 996 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,040 You know those words and what they mean. 997 00:53:41,360 --> 00:53:43,480 But you should do this for your characters when you make them so 998 00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:46,360 you have a better full fleshed out Saturday morning cartoon 999 00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,280 character. And then we get to maybe my 1000 00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:50,640 favorite art piece. What's going on here? 1001 00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:55,720 I the I So first of all, one of the reasons that we're looking 1002 00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:58,680 at it in spreads instead of pages is because of how like 1003 00:53:58,680 --> 00:54:02,440 basically all of the spreads go across 2 pages in this and which 1004 00:54:02,440 --> 00:54:04,840 is fucking awesome. I, it's gorgeous that like 1005 00:54:04,920 --> 00:54:07,720 literally every single page, almost every single page, 1006 00:54:08,080 --> 00:54:10,320 there's something going across the middle. 1007 00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,360 So that in every spread you get art across like very few don't. 1008 00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:17,200 This one, even if it's a little bit, it still does. 1009 00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,440 But you're right, like I, I, I think that blue thing is just 1010 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:23,400 like a giant ship. Yeah, I was like, is it a 1011 00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:26,840 hologram? And this dinosaur is was Cobb 1012 00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:31,040 Sores watching ships leave and cut like a station. 1013 00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:32,960 What is going on? I don't know. 1014 00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,360 Well, I love this piece. I think it's fucking cool. 1015 00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:38,480 I think the Cosmosaur is just there and there's just like a 1016 00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:41,240 representative of like representation of like what's 1017 00:54:41,240 --> 00:54:44,320 happening like outside, just kind of like superimposed and 1018 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:47,400 like his like background. I don't think they're I don't 1019 00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,760 think the ship and him are in like the same space at the same 1020 00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,400 time. I think he was just there in the 1021 00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:54,200 background's representative what's happening outside. 1022 00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,080 But like the little, like other ships, like scooting around with 1023 00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:01,320 like their little pink like like it's so cool. 1024 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:08,600 Oh yeah, how? How the hell did they get 1025 00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:13,880 better? Yeah, this is an action-packed 1026 00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:17,760 adventure game with heroes that go around the Galaxy, do amazing 1027 00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:21,320 things. While doing so, your culture 1028 00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,200 force can change, they can learn new things, get better what they 1029 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:28,120 do and even discover they are not so good at some activities. 1030 00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,320 This game uses a very simple yet entertaining system for 1031 00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:35,320 experience and advancement for characters as outlined below. 1032 00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:37,880 And Turkey. Oh, yeah, go ahead. 1033 00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,120 This. Oh, this bread box. 1034 00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:43,000 Yeah, this is a good one. I love this one. 1035 00:55:44,080 --> 00:55:47,440 It it reminds me of something I've. 1036 00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:52,440 I've lost neons, bullets and the neon sun. 1037 00:55:52,440 --> 00:55:57,560 Like it's kind of very like Dirk Detweiler esque kind of, yeah, 1038 00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,000 kind of vibe to it. That's a great game. 1039 00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:02,440 Yeah. After each successful mission, 1040 00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,600 each player will file a report made by their character. 1041 00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,200 And I would have them e-mail me this report I have like, yeah, 1042 00:56:08,200 --> 00:56:09,760 it needs to be a two page report. 1043 00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:11,440 You e-mail me about that. Give me. 1044 00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:17,360 A mission log. Captain the Log Star date, Yeah. 1045 00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:22,520 So they'll they'll do a little debrief, you know, from this 1046 00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:25,240 report, the character can create another entry in their 1047 00:56:25,240 --> 00:56:27,080 characters list of things they are good at. 1048 00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:29,560 So I talking about the eventually just went through the 1049 00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,840 trials and tribulations. They can pick contextually from 1050 00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:37,480 that a thing that they are now good at the create if they 1051 00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:40,200 create new things they are bad at from their port. 1052 00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:42,760 Oh, wait, hold on. I'm going to try the part. 1053 00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:46,280 Wait, no, I read that right. Yeah. 1054 00:56:49,840 --> 00:56:53,480 If they create a new thing they are bad at from the report, they 1055 00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:57,760 may try to improve either their Cosmo or Source score by 1, 1056 00:56:58,320 --> 00:57:01,840 rolling AD 6 and obtaining a result higher than their current 1057 00:57:01,840 --> 00:57:03,880 score. Very nice and simple. 1058 00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,560 I love. I don't know why I lost my. 1059 00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:12,440 Page so much so much but. So they may try. 1060 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:17,520 So I love that you're really choosing how you want to advance 1061 00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:20,240 after each session. Like you're either advancing 1062 00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:22,320 like the things that you know and are good at. 1063 00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:25,000 So like when that thing comes up again, you might just get 1064 00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:26,760 another. You literally get another die to 1065 00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:30,320 roll, right? Or you can try to increase your 1066 00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:33,160 core stat, which gives you another die to roll and you just 1067 00:57:33,160 --> 00:57:34,400 have to roll higher. Then. 1068 00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:38,360 I mean, I think early on, if you if you go 41, then of course 1069 00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:41,040 you're going to roll to get higher on your stat. 1070 00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:44,360 But once you hit like 3 or 4, like you're going to have to 1071 00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:47,320 really decide like, is it worth it to try to roll the five or 1072 00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,600 six to increase your stat or you just going to increase the 1073 00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:51,800 amount of stuff that you're good at and have this like whole list 1074 00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:55,040 of like things you've learned from the way this is. 1075 00:57:55,320 --> 00:57:58,040 There's so many times where like I talk about specifically like 1076 00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,720 when you can explain how a game works as much as you fucking 1077 00:58:01,720 --> 00:58:04,600 want, right? But a system is what it does 1078 00:58:04,600 --> 00:58:07,960 and, and the rules are going to dictate how the game is played. 1079 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:12,720 So if you want something to to be a certain way, make it 1080 00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:14,840 ingrained in the rules on how to do it, not just how you're going 1081 00:58:14,840 --> 00:58:16,840 to explain it because people can ignore the shit that you say, 1082 00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:19,120 right? This specifically says like you 1083 00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:21,120 can learn, you can grow, you can improve. 1084 00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:25,840 So the entire way that the system does advancement is by 1085 00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:29,040 literally like actually getting better at the things. 1086 00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:34,720 So you're literally learning new things or taking a bad thing and 1087 00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:38,200 increasing a stat like it it, it is ingrained in the system that 1088 00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,720 you are learning and growing. And that's so fucking cool. 1089 00:58:40,720 --> 00:58:42,280 And even it's actually like a simple little way. 1090 00:58:43,560 --> 00:58:50,200 I could not agree. Yeah, continuing on this same 1091 00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:52,240 spread, it starts talking about ships. 1092 00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:53,920 What are ships like? So your ships are pretty easy, 1093 00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:56,240 right? Your ships are defined by three 1094 00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:58,960 things that they're good at and one thing it's bad at. 1095 00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:03,720 Whenever it takes damage, it takes damage in the form of 1096 00:59:03,720 --> 00:59:08,120 like, it's almost like the gear that you're cosmos or gets, 1097 00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:10,480 right? You take damage to your ship, 1098 00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:13,800 and you lose one thing they're good at for each damage they 1099 00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:17,360 take at the certain. At a point where the amount of 1100 00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:20,720 damage you take surpasses the things you are good at, it's 1101 00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:24,800 broken, and now every additional damage it suffers imposes that 1102 00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:29,400 one D6 dice penalty on rolls made with it if it takes twice 1103 00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:34,760 as much damage as it has things it's good at, So 6-8 explodes. 1104 00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:40,680 Yeah, yeah, I hope your Cosmosaurus can get out in time. 1105 00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:41,760 I. Do like it. 1106 00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:46,040 It's like, I hope you can leave. I like the idea of like, the 1107 00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:48,760 ship is iconic in a way that it's not stated, but it's just 1108 00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:51,600 like, yeah, my ship is really good at this, this and that. 1109 00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:54,440 Also, it kind of breaks down occasionally, you know? 1110 00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:59,440 So here's the thing, like give me, give me make a ship real 1111 00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,280 quick. Three things a ship is good at 1112 01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:05,440 and one is bad at. Oh yeah, the red, the red 1113 01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:08,040 scorpion, because we're in a Saturday morning cartoon, right? 1114 01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:12,720 It's a it's got a really good laser. 1115 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:15,440 OK, so shooting. Yeah, it's a great laser. 1116 01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:18,600 It's got, it's got a, it's very good at hiding. 1117 01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:23,440 All right, so stealthy. And then a third thing. 1118 01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:26,320 It's really fast. OK, boom. 1119 01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:30,320 So you got a super fast ship that's able to to hide very 1120 01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,040 well, let's say. Let's say it's got like a Wonder 1121 01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:35,720 Woman's kind of stealth mechanic thing, right? 1122 01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:38,080 Yeah, because usually you can still see through it. 1123 01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:40,120 So if we're like sitting on the toilet, it's just us on the 1124 01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:43,720 toilet. It's just you, yeah, the poo is 1125 01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:45,800 like the Donald poo is coming through the thing. 1126 01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:49,080 And then and then you said it's super fast, right. 1127 01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:50,400 So what's the what's the thing that's bad at? 1128 01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:54,520 Oh, I think it's it's mechanically unreliable. 1129 01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:59,320 Gotcha. OK, All right, so great. 1130 01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:04,080 I will say I think this book all the way through is is is really 1131 01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,320 good, well put together. There are a couple times where I 1132 01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:07,960 wish there was a little bit more examples. 1133 01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:11,520 And this is one of those times where I think for for an intro 1134 01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:13,840 person, because this is very clearly written for an intro 1135 01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:17,680 game or like a younger audience having some examples here of 1136 01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:19,520 things that you ship could be good at. 1137 01:01:19,520 --> 01:01:22,600 Like it can shoot really well. It's super fast. 1138 01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:26,120 Like, because you, you could have said like, well, it's got 1139 01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:27,360 it's got bad armor, you know what I mean? 1140 01:01:27,360 --> 01:01:29,560 Like it's pretty, it's pretty weak to hit to whatever and 1141 01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:31,200 stuff like that. Because to me, that would make 1142 01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:33,720 sense for like what the -1 D 6 is it because it's like, oh, it 1143 01:01:33,720 --> 01:01:36,160 just it, it, it sucks it it can take a lot of damage. 1144 01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,440 That's why it's fast and stealthy, because it's not 1145 01:01:38,440 --> 01:01:40,360 really like power. It's not really like, you know, 1146 01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:41,800 beefy and bulky and stuff like that. 1147 01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:43,600 Yeah, I have much fun with that, so. 1148 01:01:43,640 --> 01:01:46,440 Yeah, but like there's a whole, I love the design off to the 1149 01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:47,480 side. There's a whole section here 1150 01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:49,560 where it could have been like examples and and stuff like 1151 01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:51,280 that. And I'm surprised, I was going 1152 01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:52,640 to say I'm surprised it's not a picture of a ship. 1153 01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:54,840 And then I looked at it again. I'm like, oh, that is kind of an 1154 01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:58,760 abstract picture of a ship. Yeah, but I wouldn't have 1155 01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:00,240 minded. There's like one or two other 1156 01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:01,880 spots. I think I remember I was like, I 1157 01:02:01,880 --> 01:02:04,840 totally get this. But like for, for the intro game 1158 01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:06,280 that it is. A couple more examples would 1159 01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,520 have been nice. But like you said, I love this. 1160 01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:12,240 I love that it's more abstract and the bad guys when we get to 1161 01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:16,240 them are the same way. So it's weird that it's like so 1162 01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:20,080 intro but also has these like kind of like more quasi quote UN 1163 01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:22,200 quote advance things of just like being very broad and vague. 1164 01:02:22,600 --> 01:02:27,440 I think that even still the kind of more broad things here are 1165 01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:30,680 still easy to latch on to. You know, I don't think people, 1166 01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,240 especially people who'd be willing to play a tabletop game 1167 01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:36,600 that is like a Saturday morning cartoon game, would be 1168 01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:39,640 unfamiliar with, like, the idea, you know? 1169 01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:40,840 Yeah. I completely agree. 1170 01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:45,520 Yeah. So what is the adventure? 1171 01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:47,240 So a lot of the rest of the book. 1172 01:02:47,240 --> 01:02:51,640 So we're on page 29 in the book. And as I said, it's it's roughly 1173 01:02:55,720 --> 01:03:04,880 70 71 pages ish 7172. A lot of the next section and 1174 01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:07,680 we're we'll cruise through it kind of quickly is GM stuff. 1175 01:03:07,960 --> 01:03:11,200 It's it's it's writing adventures, it's how the bad 1176 01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:14,800 guys work and stuff like that. So for the most part, what you 1177 01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:17,560 need to play, you just read in like the 1st 29 pages. 1178 01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:21,000 So this really kind of breaks apart the to the GM section. 1179 01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:24,960 And a lot of it's really good role tables, like they're very 1180 01:03:24,960 --> 01:03:28,800 fun and they're great sparks for ideas. 1181 01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:32,400 Yeah, so I mean, I'll have you roll through some of these as we 1182 01:03:32,400 --> 01:03:35,600 go just to get some examples. I really love the art page on 1183 01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:38,440 the left there of this like person that like multiple 1184 01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:41,880 screens of, of, of like in the spaceship with like images and 1185 01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:43,560 stuff. So it says, what is the 1186 01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:47,240 adventure in Cosmosaurus? You and your friends take on the 1187 01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:49,840 role of an elite team of special agents and defend the Galaxy, 1188 01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:52,200 etcetera, etcetera. So what is the GM do? 1189 01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:55,240 The GM is the host rules arbiter and director and facilitator. 1190 01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:58,480 And then it goes on to talk some good intro stuff about GM, 1191 01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:00,600 right? Additionally, they do, they 1192 01:04:00,600 --> 01:04:02,280 arbitrate the rules, etcetera, blah, blah, blah. 1193 01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:04,520 There's like a whole page talking about what that does. 1194 01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,560 How does the GM prepare a mission? 1195 01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:10,520 So we'll we'll cruise through that a little bit. 1196 01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:13,680 I love the the the top here. Like they're going over 1197 01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:16,960 schematics and stuff. So one of them got like a cup of 1198 01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:18,760 coffee, like whole held in his tail. 1199 01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:22,200 Yeah. So how does the GM prepare a 1200 01:04:22,200 --> 01:04:23,640 mission? So creating a mission can seem 1201 01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:26,600 daunting, but it can be done in a few simple steps and they go 1202 01:04:26,600 --> 01:04:28,200 through it. So first you come up with an 1203 01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,560 objective. So the first thing that GM does 1204 01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:32,640 is to determine what the mission will be. 1205 01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:34,440 And there's a bunch of stuff for that. 1206 01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:39,560 So and then there's AD 66 table for inspirations for objectives. 1207 01:04:39,560 --> 01:04:44,800 So role for what is the? What is the mission objective? 1208 01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:48,400 63 which I think is actually a really interesting one, escape 1209 01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,800 pursuers. Oh that is a really good one. 1210 01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,800 I like that a lot. That's the kind of one where you 1211 01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:58,640 could just be like, it's like, oh, we're we're starting now. 1212 01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:03,920 It's like klaxons are going off. Like, you know, like you're like 1213 01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:07,000 this guy's behind you go people like, oh, what the fuck, I love 1214 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:09,320 66 roll twice and combine. That one's great. 1215 01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:12,080 There's a lot of really good ones in here. 1216 01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:14,920 You're finding a rare specimen vanishing a supernatural 1217 01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:18,760 creature mapping in a region. Like the tables are really, 1218 01:05:18,760 --> 01:05:21,880 really fucking good. And of course, I love that that 1219 01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:26,280 weekly scroll pink background going on back there. 1220 01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:33,480 So next it's the antagonist. So the greatest Cosmosaurus 1221 01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:35,040 Avengers have the greatest villains. 1222 01:05:35,560 --> 01:05:38,080 Quite often the characters will be facing different antagonists. 1223 01:05:38,240 --> 01:05:41,720 And it says a good antagonist can make a memorable, memorable 1224 01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:42,920 mission. Think about all the great 1225 01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:45,800 stories you remember for years and years. 1226 01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:48,800 I love it it it alludes through some big ones. 1227 01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:52,560 The dark Lord with a breathing apparatus who strangles people 1228 01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:54,920 with the force of their mind. And it goes on. 1229 01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:59,840 But so so the D66 table spread across 2 pages. 1230 01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:05,280 So hit me with another role. 12 Avoid Sorcerer. 1231 01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:09,280 Doe Yeah, that's a good one. A lot of these are really 1232 01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:10,960 fucking good, though. The vampiric robot. 1233 01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:15,840 Malignant spaceship. The corrupt bureaucrat. 1234 01:06:17,120 --> 01:06:21,600 Evil clones of Cosmosaurus. It's just your party, but. 1235 01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:23,000 Evil. Yeah. 1236 01:06:23,080 --> 01:06:24,880 Oh, there are evil clones. There's a whole group of evil 1237 01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:32,720 clones though yeah, a lot of savage cosmic beast failed 1238 01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:33,960 scientific experiment. It's great. 1239 01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:36,960 The next is locations. Location is everything. 1240 01:06:36,960 --> 01:06:38,320 That's what they say right? Yeah. 1241 01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:41,760 So cool piece of art here about a base and basically talk about 1242 01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:43,640 villains have cool layers. So what does a what does a 1243 01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:48,360 villain have right. So there's AI love the skeleton 1244 01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:52,680 on the left, which is very clearly like Galactus, but I. 1245 01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:54,880 Was like, is that? Yeah, it is. 1246 01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:59,400 I will say there's I love the art and everything all the way 1247 01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:03,520 through the 2 pages at the top of page the the 39 kind of look 1248 01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:05,760 like they got kind of like stuck there and forgotten. 1249 01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:08,200 Like they kind of like don't really fit a little bit, you 1250 01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:09,000 know what I mean? Like. 1251 01:07:09,320 --> 01:07:12,960 I kind of, yeah. Yeah, but so roll D66 for me, 1252 01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:15,040 for the location, for our villain. 1253 01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:21,320 I rolled A44A dying sun score. Yeah, it's pretty good. 1254 01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:25,480 So what did we get so far? The villain is a void sorcerer. 1255 01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:31,240 Their lair is a dying sun score. Our objective is escaping 1256 01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:33,360 pursuers. So they might have sent some bad 1257 01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:35,440 guys at us. Maybe we're passing the sun. 1258 01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:37,360 They sent some guys out from the core. 1259 01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:39,720 They're they're they're following us. 1260 01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:42,840 And then we get the supporting cast. 1261 01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:48,920 I love the fucking Tamagotchi that's on the the screen and the 1262 01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:50,480 guy at the bottom who's very much is that? 1263 01:07:50,480 --> 01:07:53,040 Is that, is that Harlock? Is that is that what the guy 1264 01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:57,800 reminds me of? Oh, what is that? 1265 01:07:58,520 --> 01:07:59,680 Isn't that? Captain Harlock. 1266 01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:01,840 Captain Harlock is the name, I think. 1267 01:08:01,880 --> 01:08:04,160 Oh yeah, it's 100% Captain Harlock. 1268 01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:07,520 There's Captain Harlock got like the emo swoop and stuff. 1269 01:08:07,520 --> 01:08:12,000 Yeah, I love the references throughout this and and the the 1270 01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:14,280 the guy in the bottom right, the red shirt. 1271 01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:17,960 Oh yeah. So good. 1272 01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:22,080 Yeah, Live long and prosper. So the supporting cast, these 1273 01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:25,920 are NPCS and and interesting people, the myriad of people 1274 01:08:25,920 --> 01:08:28,840 that you can find that have goals and things like that too. 1275 01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:31,479 So these are people you can run into. 1276 01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:38,520 So hit me with the D66 for that. Oh yeah, I rolled a 25. 1277 01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:40,960 An inquisitive, autonomous robot. 1278 01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:44,000 Oh, no, yeah, that's cool. That's a good one. 1279 01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:46,200 There's a lot of really good ones. 1280 01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:53,680 The the bon vivant pop star, the fallen warlord, a local noble, 1281 01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:58,279 good stuff, really, really cool. And then the complication. 1282 01:08:58,279 --> 01:09:01,040 So life is full of surprises and so are the cosmos war missions. 1283 01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:03,319 They never work according to plan. 1284 01:09:03,760 --> 01:09:08,560 Complications can pop up. So what are what are the 1285 01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:09,600 complications? Again? 1286 01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:11,760 Spread across 2 pages for some reason. 1287 01:09:13,760 --> 01:09:17,960 I rolled a 4141 it's. A trap. 1288 01:09:18,319 --> 01:09:20,840 It's a trap, which is funny because like obviously the thing 1289 01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:23,040 in the bottom is the Star Wars Revans, but in the bottom right 1290 01:09:23,040 --> 01:09:25,439 it says it's A and the very next picture says trap trap, trap 1291 01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:31,760 trap trap trap with a really awesome like scorpion alien 1292 01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,640 thing. What's funny is that the table 1293 01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:37,960 below it is actually the end of the table we were just on. 1294 01:09:37,960 --> 01:09:38,760 That's. What I said. 1295 01:09:39,240 --> 01:09:43,439 It's such a funny breakup. Yeah, it's, wait a minute. 1296 01:09:43,439 --> 01:09:45,600 It's funny because 51 is also it's a trap. 1297 01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:49,040 They did. It's a trap twice. 1298 01:09:50,359 --> 01:09:53,160 Hey, I mean. Yeah, hey, double list of traps 1299 01:09:53,560 --> 01:09:55,960 and then it's a trap is like written all over the page. 1300 01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:58,640 But but that's why I said like it's spread across 2 pages for 1301 01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:00,160 some reason. Like I feel like they could have 1302 01:10:00,160 --> 01:10:02,200 just done it if they would have just like moved the art. 1303 01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:04,120 From the bottom one is Budget cuts. 1304 01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:07,720 No 41 is a. Trap. 1305 01:10:10,240 --> 01:10:11,280 We're looking at the ebook together. 1306 01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:12,840 Look at the screen. No way. 1307 01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:15,400 I'm not looking at the ebook, I'm looking at the PDF. 1308 01:10:16,840 --> 01:10:22,320 Oh, so it's 51? Budget cuts on mine, what's 41 1309 01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:24,240 on yours? It's a trap. 1310 01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:25,240 That's why I said it's on there twice. 1311 01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:28,280 No, it totally is twice on yours so they changed it on the one 1312 01:10:28,280 --> 01:10:33,520 I'm looking. All right, so let's look at the 1313 01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:37,440 what? What is the page in the in in 1314 01:10:37,440 --> 01:10:40,840 Acrobat? 44 Oh, a page in Acrobat is also 1315 01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:46,960 44 actually. Oh yeah, budget cuts. 1316 01:10:47,600 --> 01:10:50,680 Oh, the the table is entirely different. 1317 01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:51,840 OK. All. 1318 01:10:51,840 --> 01:10:56,880 Right, so let me let me scroll this down a little bit So on 1319 01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:02,120 this side 51 is it's a trap, 52 is someone playing both sides. 1320 01:11:02,120 --> 01:11:04,920 Ancient ruin discovered location is taboo, another conflict, 1321 01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:07,680 cosmic disaster. And on this one it's budget cuts 1322 01:11:07,680 --> 01:11:10,960 low on fuel, computer malfunctioning antagonist with 1323 01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:15,280 limitless resources, weapons break, engine explosion. 1324 01:11:15,280 --> 01:11:16,760 It's an entirely different table. 1325 01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:18,120 What about the previous one I wonder? 1326 01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:23,680 Wait, why is it entirely? It's not even one that's 1327 01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:24,440 changed. It's. 1328 01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:29,080 It's the entire thing, yeah, because the previous table is 1329 01:11:29,080 --> 01:11:33,840 the same across both, but the next the next one is literally 1330 01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:36,480 every single one is completely different. 1331 01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:41,040 That's so interesting. It's really interesting. 1332 01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:45,360 I, I believe the e-book one must be the new one because 66 is 1333 01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:49,240 rule twice, which is the same as a previous one. 1334 01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:51,040 But it's really weird that they decided to do that. 1335 01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,280 But it's also weird then that they just like must have missed 1336 01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:54,880 that they put it's a trap on it twice. 1337 01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:58,760 So I don't know which one's the final one. 1338 01:11:59,040 --> 01:11:59,840 We'll never know. Stay. 1339 01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:02,440 Tuned. Yeah, because I don't know. 1340 01:12:02,440 --> 01:12:05,800 Because here's the thing, I think maybe I got this twice 1341 01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:10,520 because I bought the the ebook. 1 might be the one from Exalted 1342 01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:12,560 because I bought the book which means I got the PDF. 1343 01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:14,720 Right. But when you get the book you 1344 01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:17,360 don't get all the PDF shit which is super fucking annoying. 1345 01:12:18,840 --> 01:12:22,560 But I know I previously bought it on itch because I have like 1346 01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:25,600 the download page. So I think the ebook 1 was 1347 01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:29,240 probably the one from Exalted and the PDF one was the one from 1348 01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:33,960 the itch page. So I assume the ebook one would 1349 01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:35,640 be the newest one, because that's one they decided to send 1350 01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:39,800 a print. But anyway, probably. 1351 01:12:40,840 --> 01:12:43,960 So then the next is the reward still coming with the adventure 1352 01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:47,040 says what do they get for for all of their hard work. 1353 01:12:47,320 --> 01:12:51,360 So roll me AD 66. I like the image on the next 1354 01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:52,680 page. First of all, it's the it's the 1355 01:12:52,680 --> 01:12:57,320 very much like the the predator, you know, Arnold and and Carl 1356 01:12:57,320 --> 01:12:59,880 Weathers handshake. But it looks like a it almost 1357 01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:03,480 looks like a ninja turtle. Yeah, it is a ninja turtle. 1358 01:13:03,480 --> 01:13:06,040 You can see the shell with a Cosmosaur. 1359 01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:11,080 And there's also like a kid like who's like in front of you. 1360 01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:13,200 Watching. Cosmosaurus Yeah. 1361 01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:18,640 So what'd you get? Blessing of a star monarch. 1362 01:13:19,480 --> 01:13:27,200 Oh nice, that's a good adventure you just rolled up And then what 1363 01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:31,080 do the players do? So this is an explanation for 1364 01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:34,280 players, which again, I always love. 1365 01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:36,560 Like if you're going to have AGM section, completely separate 1366 01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:38,480 that from the player stuff. This player stuff. 1367 01:13:38,480 --> 01:13:39,920 It might have been nice to have at the end of the player 1368 01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:42,040 section, part of the gym section, but whatevs. 1369 01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:44,800 Players have a very important job first and foremost. 1370 01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:48,760 They're there to play a game, be there to play the game in all 1371 01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:53,200 respects. Be motivated, be present is what 1372 01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:54,600 I said. Second, players need to be 1373 01:13:54,600 --> 01:13:56,720 welcoming and respectful. Third, players need to remember 1374 01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:59,000 the RPGs are a social game. They're playing together. 1375 01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:01,600 Players are not there to win. They're not competing against 1376 01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:03,880 each other. So don't monopolize the 1377 01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:05,240 spotlight. You know, all that kind of 1378 01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:09,200 stuff, like and finally, remember to have fun. 1379 01:14:09,200 --> 01:14:11,640 So basically like it's this two page bread with like a cool 1380 01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:13,320 dinosaur, like holding out of sunglasses. 1381 01:14:13,320 --> 01:14:17,680 It basically says like be nice, have fun, don't be a Dick. 1382 01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:19,080 Like that's basically what it says. 1383 01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:27,240 The next thing we're going to get into now, this is probably 1384 01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:31,440 my favorite spread. This actually has like all of 1385 01:14:31,440 --> 01:14:35,000 the bad guys on it and it has like that vampiric robot. 1386 01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:39,000 It's got like the robot Cosmosaurus in the background 1387 01:14:39,000 --> 01:14:40,800 and stuff. It's so good. 1388 01:14:41,800 --> 01:14:46,920 So who our our enemies to face many different enemies. 1389 01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:49,120 This is really cool. So there's a bunch of different 1390 01:14:49,120 --> 01:14:54,400 ones here and they're very much they're not stated out or 1391 01:14:54,400 --> 01:14:55,680 anything in the way specifically. 1392 01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:57,560 It specifically talked about it here. 1393 01:14:57,560 --> 01:15:00,120 It says this section will detail a few enemies and factions that 1394 01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:02,640 are more often than not involved, blah blah blah. 1395 01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:05,200 Due to the simplicity of this game, there are very few 1396 01:15:05,200 --> 01:15:07,600 mechanics involved in detailing the opponents. 1397 01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:10,520 So we will detail their role in the setting of the game. 1398 01:15:11,480 --> 01:15:14,680 Excuse me, their possible goals and the things they might be 1399 01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:16,080 doing that will draw the attention. 1400 01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:19,200 So this is more of like vibes and archetypes than it is any 1401 01:15:19,200 --> 01:15:21,560 set mechanics, right, because you don't need a ton of 1402 01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:23,440 mechanics because you already know how to hit and defend and 1403 01:15:23,440 --> 01:15:26,120 you already know how much damage the bad guys do so you don't 1404 01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:29,800 need a lot more than that. So going through this, we have 1405 01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:34,360 the robot empire love the fucking robot dinosaur. 1406 01:15:34,360 --> 01:15:36,760 Kind of like Godzilla situation happening. 1407 01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:42,400 Yeah, we have the void sores, which are so. 1408 01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:45,640 So I'll give you a brief of each one and then pick one that we 1409 01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:46,720 can go over a little bit more deeply. 1410 01:15:46,720 --> 01:15:52,440 So basically the robots were created by the Cosmosaurs and 1411 01:15:52,440 --> 01:15:54,320 got pissed off that they were eventually, that they were being 1412 01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:56,120 treated like slaves. So they left and started their 1413 01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:59,120 own empire and now they want to kill everything because for 1414 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:01,160 their past like slavery as robots. 1415 01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:05,520 The void sores are shadow counterparts of the Cosmosaurs 1416 01:16:05,840 --> 01:16:09,880 created by the Void Lords. They're basically void tainted 1417 01:16:09,880 --> 01:16:13,320 cosmos or clones that want to kill all Cosmosaurus. 1418 01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:17,880 There are the undead pirates, which are literally just a bunch 1419 01:16:17,920 --> 01:16:20,760 of like space pirates that for some reason some of them are 1420 01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:25,480 undead and they're doing, they do pirate shit at the behest of 1421 01:16:25,480 --> 01:16:29,720 a death Lord. There is the slime Lords. 1422 01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:31,480 It's all about that slime, right? 1423 01:16:32,640 --> 01:16:36,840 And these are the shitty crime Lord, kind of like the Hut 1424 01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:39,120 situations. Like they're all about like 1425 01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:41,120 bribery and politics and stuff like that. 1426 01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:49,840 There are the broccoloids, which, my God, my goodness, it's 1427 01:16:51,360 --> 01:16:54,520 Nazi pornography. It's Nazi broccoli, which is 1428 01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:57,760 weird because they're actually like rebels and stuff. 1429 01:16:57,760 --> 01:16:59,800 When I read this, I was like, maybe they should have gotten 1430 01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:03,840 more Che Guevara and less Hitler, probably. 1431 01:17:03,880 --> 01:17:07,560 But they're very clearly wearing like a Nazi uniform. 1432 01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:10,560 And it's a very clearly a Nazi flag, but it's just made of 1433 01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:15,240 pieces of broccoli in a in like almost like a peace sign instead 1434 01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:19,960 of like a, a, a swastika. But like it's very clearly Nazi 1435 01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:21,920 broccoli. Definitely a weird. 1. 1436 01:17:22,440 --> 01:17:24,640 Yeah. So which which which one of 1437 01:17:24,640 --> 01:17:28,400 those did you like the most? Oh I want to do the the void. 1438 01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:31,920 The void source. There we go, the void source. 1439 01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:35,120 Yes, right. So do you want to go over? 1440 01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:37,680 Do you want me to go over it? Oh, I think it's all you, buddy. 1441 01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:40,840 OK, so the Void Source, as I said, they're the Shadow Cutter 1442 01:17:40,840 --> 01:17:43,360 parts of the Cosmosaurus. They're created a long time ago 1443 01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:49,760 by Void Lord, Yeah, no worries. And whose plans were all were 1444 01:17:49,760 --> 01:17:53,360 foiled by the Cosmosaurus. And now the Void Source are a 1445 01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:56,360 group of highly trained Chaos soldiers dedicated to undue 1446 01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:59,120 order and sow discord. However, being clones of 1447 01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:02,320 Cosmosaurus infused with pure chaos from the Void dimension, 1448 01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:05,120 they are highly disorganized and often at odds with one another. 1449 01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:07,200 This reminds me so much of anyone out there that's 1450 01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:09,520 listening. This reminds me so much of like 1451 01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:14,560 dinosaur version of like post horse heresy traitors in like 1452 01:18:14,840 --> 01:18:19,200 the eye of terror that fight with themselves so much that 1453 01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:21,280 they can barely get themselves together to fight the bad guy. 1454 01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:25,480 But every now and then they can. So that's how they are. 1455 01:18:25,480 --> 01:18:27,560 And if you look to the left, you'll see this kind of like 1456 01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:31,600 void energy coming out of this like broken purple kind of like 1457 01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:33,720 egg thing. But like the voids are at the 1458 01:18:33,720 --> 01:18:37,400 top has like these tiny little arms. 1459 01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:40,800 You can tell he's like deformed and he has like a weird like 1460 01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:45,360 hand like wand. But so the way that all of the, 1461 01:18:45,360 --> 01:18:47,840 the the bad guys are laid out is you get a whole page thread of 1462 01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:51,120 art, you get an explanation of who the characters are, and then 1463 01:18:51,120 --> 01:18:53,840 you get themes. So the four themes listed here, 1464 01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:57,160 sometimes there's more, but the four here are darkness, flawed 1465 01:18:57,160 --> 01:19:00,560 copies, corrupting qualities and overcoming yourself. 1466 01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:02,520 That's the themes of these bad guys, right? 1467 01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:07,520 And then you get what do they want and what are they doing, 1468 01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:08,880 right? I think they all have that. 1469 01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:10,200 What do you want and what are they doing? 1470 01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:14,280 So it's 2D6 tables. So hit me with two different D6 1471 01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:15,560 rolls, one for what do they want? 1472 01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:17,560 So what do these guys want? 3. 1473 01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:21,800 To cause chaos wherever they go, putting the many cultures 1474 01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:25,160 against one another in a series of well planned sabotages. 1475 01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:28,840 That's a good one. A lot of other ones on here that 1476 01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:32,280 are good to eliminate every last cosmos or from this reality once 1477 01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:34,200 and for all. And then what are they doing? 1478 01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:39,280 Hit me with another D6A2 infiltrating a Cosmosaurus base 1479 01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:41,920 and planting detonators to blow it up. 1480 01:19:43,000 --> 01:19:44,320 Nice. It's cool. 1481 01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:49,280 So they're voidy, they're chaosy, they hate cosmosaurs. 1482 01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:52,600 That's who you get. They they might be my favorite 1483 01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:54,160 as well. I mean, I'm going to kind of 1484 01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:57,120 stay away from the brachyloids. It's funny, when I hit that page 1485 01:19:57,120 --> 01:20:00,320 I was like I literally like hard pause for like a good 5 seconds 1486 01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:06,800 and it was like why? Yeah, I kind of. 1487 01:20:06,920 --> 01:20:10,240 So I read this book as I do often. 1488 01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:12,560 I read them in an odd order sometimes, just kind of based on 1489 01:20:12,560 --> 01:20:14,760 how I'm feeling. And so I actually read the end 1490 01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:19,400 of this like first, but like a week and a half ago and I 1491 01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:21,560 totally blanked on it being back here. 1492 01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:26,160 It's kind of a lot this pages but with weed is like I said, so 1493 01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:29,600 it says a group of sentient plant people disgusted by other 1494 01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:32,360 species habit of eating them eating their brethren. 1495 01:20:32,600 --> 01:20:34,880 The brachyoids are here to liberate their brothers and 1496 01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:37,400 sisters in an act of vengeance on the plant eating Barbarians 1497 01:20:37,400 --> 01:20:40,200 that call themselves civilized. I'm like dope, they're rebels. 1498 01:20:40,440 --> 01:20:45,800 Why are they fascists? Like it's just like a little 1499 01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:50,320 like I said, I wish he had like a beret on, you know, as opposed 1500 01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:53,560 to like the like, you know, like what? 1501 01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:58,520 He's got standard fatigue sash. But yeah, I mean, some of the 1502 01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:01,000 chat just said, and I got to point it out, like every fucking 1503 01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:03,960 page is soaked with art and it's so. 1504 01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:06,000 I mean, I don't it's been a long time since I've seen a book 1505 01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:08,360 filled with this much art. And yet Lucas, I'm gonna say 1506 01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:11,840 again, Koblechuk, like this shit fucks so hard. 1507 01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:13,560 Like every single piece just kills it. 1508 01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:17,600 Even even fascist broccoli still is dope page. 1509 01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:22,080 So we're basically done. So how are enemies made? 1510 01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:26,680 Enemies are made in this game, but how are enemies made in this 1511 01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:28,480 game and how to differentiate between them? 1512 01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:31,200 It's a narrative focused RPG. It's player facing mechanics. 1513 01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:34,320 What can you do? So enemies can be a four levels 1514 01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:36,080 of the difficulty, which I love this. 1515 01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:39,440 There are minions, standard elites and bosses, right? 1516 01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:43,040 They can possess special abilities and they're extremely 1517 01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:45,720 easy to create on the fly. So minions are faceless 1518 01:21:45,720 --> 01:21:47,240 soldiers. They're your fucking mooks. 1519 01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:49,000 They do one damage and that's it, right? 1520 01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:51,000 And and one damage is enough to take them out. 1521 01:21:51,720 --> 01:21:53,960 Standard bad guys have a little bit more training, they're a 1522 01:21:53,960 --> 01:21:56,760 little bit more specialized. They have three damage to take 1523 01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:58,480 them out. And depending on the gearing 1524 01:21:58,480 --> 01:22:02,400 training, they may impose a difficulty of one to the PCs 1525 01:22:02,400 --> 01:22:04,840 pool just by existing. Kind of like basically saying 1526 01:22:04,840 --> 01:22:05,920 they have like armor or some shit. 1527 01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:07,840 They're the elites which are highly trained. 1528 01:22:07,840 --> 01:22:09,480 They have 6 damage to take them out. 1529 01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:12,840 They normally impose a difficulty of one to all roles 1530 01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:14,600 against them. And they usually possess a 1531 01:22:14,600 --> 01:22:17,280 special ability such as like flying being immuno, physical 1532 01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:20,280 damage or something like that. And then bosses are the big bad 1533 01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:23,400 guys are the Lords of evil and pirate kings and death lawyers 1534 01:22:23,400 --> 01:22:25,800 and whatnot. Star Golias. 1535 01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:27,600 It's 10 to 15 damage for each of them. 1536 01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:31,000 They normally impose a difficulty of two to all roles 1537 01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:33,520 against them. Some might even have three and 1538 01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:37,800 they always have a few, if not several special abilities as 1539 01:22:37,800 --> 01:22:40,240 described above, like flying and stuff like that. 1540 01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:42,240 They might also have multiple attacks and things like that. 1541 01:22:42,480 --> 01:22:45,480 Super easy, really quick way to make a lot of bad guys. 1542 01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:46,840 It's simple as the rest of the system. 1543 01:22:46,840 --> 01:22:49,720 It's really great. And then we get to the character 1544 01:22:49,720 --> 01:22:52,560 sheet, which would be Oh my God, this part is hyperlinked. 1545 01:22:54,240 --> 01:22:56,680 I wonder if in the e-book there's more. 1546 01:22:56,680 --> 01:22:59,880 But so all the way in the back there is the character sheet. 1547 01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:04,800 There's it's 2 pages and in this part, not the regular character 1548 01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:10,200 sheet, it is actually labeled. So in the species section, 1549 01:23:10,400 --> 01:23:12,960 there's like this green circle, then it goes over the species 1550 01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:17,160 section, it says species page 10 on the side and it is 1551 01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:19,080 hyperlinked except it doesn't go to page 10. 1552 01:23:19,640 --> 01:23:23,240 It went to page 20. Well, I tried. 1553 01:23:23,440 --> 01:23:28,520 Let's try one more. Roll goes to page 20, which is 1554 01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:32,760 where it's supposed to go. The interests go to page 20. 1555 01:23:33,480 --> 01:23:35,840 I'm just going to take a wild guess and say that like all 1556 01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:40,760 these hyperlinks, no, they're all hyperlinks, but none of them 1557 01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:43,040 are going to the right places. So at least they tried. 1558 01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:47,200 But anyway, they're labeled with what page number they are and 1559 01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:48,960 where to find the things. I really love that in the back 1560 01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:50,360 of the book. So it gives you an example of 1561 01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:52,600 the character sheet, but and then tells you where you can 1562 01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:54,360 find those. So like if you're looking 1563 01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:56,080 through the character sheet, like, wait, what are we talking 1564 01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:57,520 about? Like what they're good at, you 1565 01:23:57,520 --> 01:23:58,760 find what they're good on a page 20. 1566 01:23:58,800 --> 01:24:01,920 So that's cool. I like that the sheet is really, 1567 01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:05,200 really neat. It's a lot of big open spaces to 1568 01:24:05,200 --> 01:24:08,320 write notes because this game is like very much more about like 1569 01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:10,680 the vibes and stuff like that than it is about specific 1570 01:24:10,680 --> 01:24:12,720 mechanics. A lot like the most mechanics 1571 01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:15,840 you really have is like your attributes and then how many D 1572 01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:18,720 sixes you have plus or minus because of what's happening and 1573 01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:21,360 that's it. That's the entire game in pages 1574 01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:24,960 and then the back has the the text. 1575 01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:30,920 So review scores, yeah. That's right, we review these 1576 01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:32,040 things. We review. 1577 01:24:32,040 --> 01:24:35,040 These things, that is right, we do quantify our terrible 1578 01:24:35,040 --> 01:24:38,240 opinions in numbered metrics. There are five of them with a 1579 01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:42,160 Max of 10 points each. There is art and layout, which 1580 01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:43,800 is visually what the book looks like. 1581 01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:46,640 So the art in the book, quality, quantity, all that kind of stuff 1582 01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:48,320 and the visual layout of the book. 1583 01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:54,520 And then we get to usability, which is hyperlinks, bookmarks, 1584 01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:57,760 physical bookmarks or readability is things are things 1585 01:24:57,760 --> 01:24:59,200 in the correct order in our opinion. 1586 01:24:59,200 --> 01:25:02,080 Things like that, like how easy is it to use the book like at 1587 01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:03,920 the table and stuff like that. There's a rule set. 1588 01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:05,800 So if it's a new rule set, how do we like it? 1589 01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:08,040 If it's adapted rule set, is it well adapted? 1590 01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:12,400 Originality is originality in any or all of these things. 1591 01:25:13,080 --> 01:25:16,880 Value is not just the cost of the thing, it's bang for your 1592 01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:19,200 buck. What all do you get? 1593 01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:20,960 You know, are there a million adventures? 1594 01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:23,320 Is there a free companion app? All those kind of bullshit. 1595 01:25:23,960 --> 01:25:25,440 Is there a third party licensing? 1596 01:25:25,440 --> 01:25:29,000 You know, shit like that. So starting with art and layout. 1597 01:25:29,480 --> 01:25:32,480 My goodness is there a lot of art. 1598 01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:34,800 There is a good amount of art in this. 1599 01:25:35,680 --> 01:25:39,080 Yeah, the art's great. I mean it's such a high point to 1600 01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:40,720 this and I do really like the layout. 1601 01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:44,120 Yeah, yeah, I mean, and, and it's, I mean the Scunty Joe. 1602 01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:46,880 And again, he's like one of the best in the TTRBG scene doing 1603 01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:48,520 this stuff. And he really incorporates the 1604 01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:50,520 art extremely well into the layout. 1605 01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:54,120 There's a lot of like, like, like word wrapping and stuff 1606 01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:56,560 like that. Like has things in like 1 corner 1607 01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:58,360 interacting with things in like the top other corner. 1608 01:25:58,360 --> 01:26:00,640 So visually, yeah. Game Fox, like super hard. 1609 01:26:00,640 --> 01:26:06,880 What are you thinking? Oh, you know, I'm thinking I 1610 01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:09,640 don't have any major like notes or complaints about, well, I 1611 01:26:09,800 --> 01:26:12,000 mean, there's a couple of like awkward spaces, but not really 1612 01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:14,600 even that many. Well, I would say the only one 1613 01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:17,680 that really bugs me is that one where like all of those tables 1614 01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:19,880 are completely dis disjointed from like what? 1615 01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:22,080 It's just that one spread really that like stands out. 1616 01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:23,120 It's just. Like what you thinking? 1617 01:26:25,160 --> 01:26:31,360 I mean, it's not a 10 and I think that one spread I'm 1618 01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:33,080 probably like an 8 like probably. 1619 01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:35,080 Like a pretty easy as well. Yeah. 1620 01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:36,840 Also, if you're listening along, you're wise. 1621 01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:41,120 Ryan always tries to trick me into giving my opinion first 1622 01:26:41,240 --> 01:26:43,960 always. And I don't know, there's no 1623 01:26:43,960 --> 01:26:46,720 reason for it. So now I'm starting to flip it. 1624 01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:49,400 I'm like, no, Ryan, you fucking pitch a number, God damn it. 1625 01:26:52,480 --> 01:26:56,400 I don't know what you're talking about, it's only been 177 1626 01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:58,880 episodes before you pointed that out, but. 1627 01:26:59,520 --> 01:27:02,360 I noticed it like 20 or 30 episodes ago. 1628 01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:04,080 I've just kind of let it go, you know? 1629 01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:15,720 All right, so usability. I mean, it's a very, it neither 1630 01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:20,800 shines in usability nor is it like unbelievably unuseful, you 1631 01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:22,560 know? Yeah, Yeah. 1632 01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:26,160 So you said that the ebook version at least has bookmarks, 1633 01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:27,720 right? It does in fact have bookmarks. 1634 01:27:28,040 --> 01:27:31,920 So there I would say like, I guess there are theoretically 1635 01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:33,560 hyperlinks. Let me see. 1636 01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:42,560 Oh, shit. So the ebook version, the the 1637 01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:45,760 index actually that summary page is hyperlinked as well. 1638 01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:48,480 And those actually go to, as far as I can tell, the correct 1639 01:27:48,480 --> 01:27:53,320 pages. So in the ebook version they 1640 01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:55,680 are, there are hyperlinks, which is good. 1641 01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:03,880 And then the character sheet in the back is hyperlinked. 1642 01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:06,600 But they're all wrong. They're all wrong. 1643 01:28:06,600 --> 01:28:10,760 So funny bro, Honestly so hilarious. 1644 01:28:11,480 --> 01:28:15,920 So basically all of almost all of the links on the first page 1645 01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:20,680 take you to like page 20, like the like the beginning character 1646 01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:23,200 creation. And almost all of the links in 1647 01:28:23,200 --> 01:28:28,120 the second part take you to the ship page, which is just like a 1648 01:28:28,120 --> 01:28:34,800 weird, yeah, it's so close. Is it? 1649 01:28:34,920 --> 01:28:38,400 But they all say to page No, they all say to page 25. 1650 01:28:38,400 --> 01:28:41,560 Is that page 25? No, no, because that's page 25. 1651 01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:44,480 It's to page 26. I mean, it's really close. 1652 01:28:44,480 --> 01:28:46,840 So I'm going to say, I'm going to say they have hyperlinks. 1653 01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:48,160 They do have bookmarks. Yeah. 1654 01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:50,640 Most of the things are in pretty good order. 1655 01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:53,200 Like I said, for the same reason. 1656 01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:57,600 Visually that one page, I guess it's more of a usability than a, 1657 01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:00,480 than a layout visual thing for the for the previous score. 1658 01:29:00,480 --> 01:29:02,960 But like that one page hasn't the things that are missed. 1659 01:29:03,480 --> 01:29:06,280 I I do wish there's a couple spots that had like some more 1660 01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:08,240 examples. There is a bookmark in the 1661 01:29:08,240 --> 01:29:11,960 physical. So it's got it's got an index, 1662 01:29:12,760 --> 01:29:17,200 it's got Tri stuff hyperlinks, it's got bookmarks, it's got a 1663 01:29:17,200 --> 01:29:19,680 physical bookmark. So I mean it's got the minimums 1664 01:29:19,680 --> 01:29:21,080 for as far as our requirements go. 1665 01:29:21,080 --> 01:29:24,520 I do think there there. What are you? 1666 01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:25,640 What are? Your thoughts? 1667 01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:31,640 I, I don't know, I'm between A6 and A7, I think I might be out 1668 01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:33,080 of seven. I think it might be a little bit 1669 01:29:33,320 --> 01:29:37,200 better than the 6 maybe. Yeah, I mean, we did talk about 1670 01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:40,280 how like visually it's cool or whatever, but like as far as 1671 01:29:40,280 --> 01:29:43,080 like actually using it, like because it's such a spread out 1672 01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:44,680 book, it could be a much more condensed book. 1673 01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:47,120 Like there's so little on each page, you can really absorb the 1674 01:29:47,120 --> 01:29:49,000 information. Well, for the most part, it's 1675 01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:50,400 really well put together. Yeah, let's go. 1676 01:29:50,400 --> 01:29:52,680 Let's be nice and do A7. Yeah, I think so. 1677 01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:54,760 I think I get what you're saying. 1678 01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:57,240 My counterpoint to that is that there's a ton of stuff on every 1679 01:29:57,240 --> 01:29:58,720 page. It's actually harder to find 1680 01:29:58,720 --> 01:30:00,080 things sometimes, you know, that's. 1681 01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:01,080 What? No, I was agreeing. 1682 01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:02,680 I was. Saying that was a good thing, 1683 01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:03,880 yeah. I was saying that was a good 1684 01:30:03,880 --> 01:30:05,920 thing that like I'm. Agreeing with you, Ryan. 1685 01:30:06,240 --> 01:30:10,240 Yeah, you're agreeing with me. All right, listen, you're wrong. 1686 01:30:10,240 --> 01:30:13,320 I agree with you. Rule set. 1687 01:30:13,440 --> 01:30:15,800 OK? So what are your thoughts? 1688 01:30:17,160 --> 01:30:18,200 I like this. I think it's fine. 1689 01:30:18,200 --> 01:30:20,680 I think it's simple. I think it's like one of those 1690 01:30:20,680 --> 01:30:23,760 games where there's a mechanic and they they show you different 1691 01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:26,960 ways in which to use the mechanic and I think it does 1692 01:30:26,960 --> 01:30:31,040 that successfully, you know? Yeah, yeah, I completely agree. 1693 01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:34,400 I yeah, I, I love, you know, the forts in the dark aspects. 1694 01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:36,680 I like, I, I, I love makes it cast across the board. 1695 01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:40,480 It's like my favorite thing in TJRPGS because I love that in 1696 01:30:40,480 --> 01:30:42,480 the rules, nothing never not happened, right? 1697 01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:46,080 The dice bowl thing is fun. I know you you love dice balls 1698 01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:47,880 more than I do, but I do really enjoy dice pools. 1699 01:30:48,440 --> 01:30:51,680 I love lasers and feelings. I love a dice full mixed with 1700 01:30:51,680 --> 01:30:53,640 lasers and feelings. I think that's a great concept. 1701 01:30:53,680 --> 01:30:54,920 Yeah, that's a pretty great concept. 1702 01:30:55,960 --> 01:30:59,720 Your damage is like 1-2 or three like you only you hit once you 1703 01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:03,000 take one or two hits, like everything is like you get up, 1704 01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:05,200 you either get one more dice, you lose a dice, and that's 1705 01:31:05,200 --> 01:31:07,200 pretty much it across the board. It is super simple, but what's 1706 01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:09,560 great about it is I think it is great for intro games. 1707 01:31:09,560 --> 01:31:11,800 It's great for younger players. You know, Ross, I think that 1708 01:31:11,800 --> 01:31:13,480 this would shine like fucking crazy. 1709 01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:18,560 Prison. Yes, give get more prisoners 1710 01:31:18,560 --> 01:31:20,520 teach RBG books. That's actually a great thing to 1711 01:31:20,520 --> 01:31:26,080 do and if you can mail them something that has like a bunch 1712 01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:27,760 of random dice rolls in it, because a lot of times they're 1713 01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:31,240 not allowed to have dice. There's a cool thing on Spear 1714 01:31:31,240 --> 01:31:33,120 Witch like a whole book of just like random dice rolls. 1715 01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:36,720 Anyway, I know that was a joke, but that's actually a good 1716 01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:38,320 thing. Send prisoners to RPGs. 1717 01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:45,440 Let's abolish prison system cons and stuff something that like a 1718 01:31:45,440 --> 01:31:48,200 quick easy game that people can like really latch onto and 1719 01:31:48,200 --> 01:31:49,720 really like have fun being goofy with. 1720 01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:52,120 I think this would fuck it cons like crazy. 1721 01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:54,360 So where where you thinking for this? 1722 01:31:54,360 --> 01:31:55,680 I mean, so here's thing. What do you? 1723 01:31:55,760 --> 01:31:59,800 Think for this, Ryan. This is hard, right, in that 1724 01:31:59,800 --> 01:32:03,040 like for Zen's, we're a little bit more lenient about like 1725 01:32:03,040 --> 01:32:06,680 judging it on its own merit, but in books it's it's kind of 1726 01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:09,160 judged against like other games, right? 1727 01:32:09,160 --> 01:32:12,480 So this is one of those games where we I love its simplicity, 1728 01:32:12,720 --> 01:32:16,600 but how do you give something super simple like a really high 1729 01:32:16,600 --> 01:32:18,720 score compared to something that's like really complex but 1730 01:32:18,720 --> 01:32:20,760 also really good that has like so much more depth to it. 1731 01:32:21,120 --> 01:32:22,560 So for me. I like. 1732 01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:25,800 I wouldn't even necessarily say that complex gets a higher score 1733 01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:29,000 it for me internally, I think it's more on how you use it. 1734 01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:34,120 And while I really like this, I'm not necessarily like totally 1735 01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:37,320 blown away by anyone aspect of this rule set. 1736 01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:39,760 So I think for me it's like a solid 6. 1737 01:32:40,400 --> 01:32:44,600 Yeah, yeah, I mean, I it's, it's consistent, it's simple and it's 1738 01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:46,560 consistent. And that's what I think is 1739 01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:50,000 really shines is that like once you kind of learn like the the 1740 01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:51,800 basic role, you know how to play the entire game. 1741 01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:55,120 And I wasn't saying like not complex for the sake of 1742 01:32:55,120 --> 01:32:57,880 complexity, but I mean more like the depth in the rule system, 1743 01:32:57,880 --> 01:32:59,760 like there's this is very shallow system. 1744 01:32:59,760 --> 01:33:02,120 And that's not a bad thing because again, like the 1745 01:33:02,120 --> 01:33:07,560 simplicity is very elegant and it is, it is very clean and very 1746 01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:09,680 consistent, which is great to have in a rule set. 1747 01:33:10,320 --> 01:33:12,440 But compared again, compared to something like Kingdoms, which 1748 01:33:12,440 --> 01:33:16,440 has like like it's the fucking Marianas Trench comparatively, 1749 01:33:18,440 --> 01:33:21,920 Yeah, yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I'm between the six and 1750 01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:24,240 seven because I do, I do think it's really, I do think it's 1751 01:33:24,240 --> 01:33:27,120 really good for what it does. It's just comparatively. 1752 01:33:29,800 --> 01:33:35,560 You call it. Yeah, I'm just trying to think 1753 01:33:35,560 --> 01:33:37,640 of other games we've given Sevens too, and it's just like, 1754 01:33:38,640 --> 01:33:39,880 I don't know, I'm going to give it a 7 it. 1755 01:33:42,160 --> 01:33:43,440 Doesn't matter, it's our opinion. 1756 01:33:43,480 --> 01:33:47,800 Fuck you guys. You guys come with us. 1757 01:33:47,840 --> 01:33:49,840 We're like, well, you gave this game A7, then it's better. 1758 01:33:49,840 --> 01:33:51,920 I'll be like, you know, I'll, I'll hang up the call. 1759 01:33:52,440 --> 01:33:56,360 I'll give it a six because again, like it's great, but it 1760 01:33:56,360 --> 01:33:58,240 is it's super simple. It basically has like one more. 1761 01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:00,120 Appropriate score for it. Yeah, yeah. 1762 01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:02,640 Listen, stick up for yourself in man you know. 1763 01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:05,880 Stick up for yourself. Originality, OK? 1764 01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:08,320 I love it. I think that the the only other 1765 01:34:08,320 --> 01:34:10,600 time, the only other time I've really seen like Saturday 1766 01:34:10,600 --> 01:34:13,320 morning cartoon shit is. Blister critters. 1767 01:34:13,800 --> 01:34:16,360 Blister critters. Yeah, I knew me like, this is 1768 01:34:16,360 --> 01:34:18,960 the I when I start reading this, I was like, oh, this is like the 1769 01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:21,280 other end of like the Saturday morning cartoon thing. 1770 01:34:21,280 --> 01:34:24,160 It's different like in pretty much every single way, but it 1771 01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:29,440 does like aim for a very another niche in that kind of space, you 1772 01:34:29,440 --> 01:34:30,440 know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. 1773 01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:33,640 Blister just definitely leans more towards like the, I don't 1774 01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:36,000 know, you're right. And Stimpy's a little bit versus 1775 01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:37,920 this, which leans more towards your street charts. 1776 01:34:38,280 --> 01:34:40,960 Yeah, yeah. But other than that, I mean, 1777 01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:43,880 there's not a ton of these like Saturday morning cartoon kind of 1778 01:34:43,880 --> 01:34:44,880 like. Fun. 1779 01:34:44,880 --> 01:34:46,880 This is the holy original, you know. 1780 01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:49,120 No, it's well, it's not at all. It's lasers and feelings 1781 01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:50,840 supports in our place and feelings game, which is. 1782 01:34:50,880 --> 01:34:52,680 Fine. Yeah, which is great. 1783 01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:55,840 But yeah, I think this is really cool. 1784 01:34:55,840 --> 01:34:58,760 This one I think I'm still about A7. 1785 01:34:59,280 --> 01:35:00,880 Yeah, I think 7 is really good for that. 1786 01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:04,000 I think, I do think there's a really solid amount of not only 1787 01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:06,920 in that, but like a lot of the originality in like the, a lot 1788 01:35:06,920 --> 01:35:08,680 of the tables are really fantastic and really well put 1789 01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:10,320 together and there's a lot of really fun, interesting, cool 1790 01:35:10,320 --> 01:35:11,560 things in that. I think they're really good. 1791 01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:19,640 And then value wise, OK, so on each it's a $15 PDF, but there 1792 01:35:19,640 --> 01:35:24,000 will always be community copies. It says. 1793 01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:26,560 I released Cosmosaurus earlier than planned in an attempt to 1794 01:35:26,560 --> 01:35:29,920 offset some of the loss I had when I got mugged and lost my 1795 01:35:29,920 --> 01:35:31,520 cell phone where I do most of my work. 1796 01:35:31,760 --> 01:35:33,880 And in about 24 hours, this community showered me with 1797 01:35:33,880 --> 01:35:35,680 kindness and generosity I never expected. 1798 01:35:35,880 --> 01:35:38,400 There will always be community copies of this game for anyone 1799 01:35:38,400 --> 01:35:39,480 who wants 1. Thank you. 1800 01:35:39,480 --> 01:35:43,360 I will never forget this. And then there's like 9900 and 1801 01:35:43,360 --> 01:35:47,800 99,192 copies. So theoretically free, but 1802 01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:51,120 community copy don't forget is, you know, a little bit different 1803 01:35:51,120 --> 01:35:54,400 because of what what they just said, what yoga just said, but 1804 01:35:54,400 --> 01:35:56,720 it's $15 PDF. If you can have support it, if 1805 01:35:56,720 --> 01:35:59,920 you can afford it, pay the man for the the cool game that made 1806 01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:06,600 on exalted funeral. It is $30.00 for the book and 1807 01:36:06,600 --> 01:36:09,600 the PDF and for the PDF only it's $15.00. 1808 01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:12,400 But then at that point just get the one from the itch page 1809 01:36:12,400 --> 01:36:14,240 because then you also get character sheets and stuff too 1810 01:36:14,760 --> 01:36:17,720 print friendly 1A color one everything. 1811 01:36:17,960 --> 01:36:21,000 So $15.00 for PDF for a 70 plus page book. 1812 01:36:21,240 --> 01:36:25,680 Great deal, $30.00 for this nice print, like nice book. 1813 01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:28,000 I think that's a it's a it's a it's a decent, it's a decent 1814 01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:30,240 deal. There's not any content outside 1815 01:36:30,240 --> 01:36:32,600 of the game, but there's a lot of obviously there's like a 1816 01:36:32,600 --> 01:36:34,560 limited, a limitless number of adventures. 1817 01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:37,960 I mean, when you mix and match like 6D66 tables together, you 1818 01:36:37,960 --> 01:36:41,960 have a limited limitless. So doesn't blow me away. 1819 01:36:42,600 --> 01:36:44,960 I'm not going to call this a quote UN quote free game because 1820 01:36:44,960 --> 01:36:46,480 if you can afford it, you still pay for it. 1821 01:36:46,840 --> 01:36:48,960 I'm probably what do you what do you have for for value on this 1822 01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:50,440 then? I make a call. 1823 01:36:51,680 --> 01:36:54,760 Probably like a six. I mean it's just if the game is 1824 01:36:54,760 --> 01:36:56,160 an OK price and that's about all you get. 1825 01:36:56,400 --> 01:36:58,200 Yeah, I agree. I agree. 1826 01:36:58,200 --> 01:37:13,240 That makes sense. OK, so 8 + 7 + 6 + 7 + 6 = 34. 1827 01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:16,040 That feels good to me. Yeah, I owe the appropriate 1828 01:37:16,040 --> 01:37:18,840 taste for this.
