So here we are. 7 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,720 Here we are. Yeah, get it. 8 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,360 When when you said Knight Rider, I was like, oh, and then it kept 9 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:41,880 going. I was like, oh, I get it. 10 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:49,200 I so hey, so we're back. We had an unplanned break once 11 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,640 again, as we do basically every month at this point. 12 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,160 But but we're back and we're going to do an actual review and 13 00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:02,680 today we are going to be looking at torque, Torque from the rally 14 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:11,920 Rd. playing game from Williamst will so listen, we we have we 15 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,200 are unashamedly, very loudly. We are an Adam vast and podcast. 16 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,040 We love world champ games. We love Adam. 17 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,800 They're amazing person and they make amazing shit, right. 18 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,360 But I think we have criminally under talked about 19 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,320 underappreciated the other half of the of the of the brain trust 20 00:01:31,320 --> 00:01:36,000 podcast, which is will Yost. They run good luck press with 21 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,520 Sam Pines. They've done a bunch of amazing 22 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,080 stuff. I have. 23 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,320 I have so much of it and I don't know how we haven't talked about 24 00:01:42,320 --> 00:01:45,320 it, but we got Black Mass here, which is amazing. 25 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,960 Dwelling. Oh yeah, we'll get to that. 26 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,400 That's the only one I didn't grab off the shelf. 27 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,240 We got dwelling and the dwelling edition and and not only that, 28 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,600 real quick, real quick thing, I think just yesterday maybe they 29 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,480 dropped a new expanded version of Dwelling, which I still need 30 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,200 to grab from Good Luck Press. So go grab that. 31 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,200 That's from Sub Pines, but it's also from Good Luck Press, which 32 00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,280 is fantastic. The curious sets are amazing. 33 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,080 I have Jasper Park and Albert Manor. 34 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,480 And then I believe that this discord has Ghost and it is with 35 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:17,160 with Adam, right? It is. 36 00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:24,200 Yeah, so a bunch of amazing games from Will, from Seb and 37 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,040 from from all of Good Luck Press and what's up. 38 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,360 I was like, they're fine, I'm kidding, they're good, they're 39 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,160 great. They're, they're fantastic. 40 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,000 And if you listen to the original Brain Trust podcast 41 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,000 when they did the Kickstarter and stuff like that, that's 42 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,720 where it's so interesting when you actually go back and listen 43 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:45,360 to the Brain Trust podcast in the beginning, this game 44 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,680 definitely started as idea here. Like that podcast was kind of 45 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,800 like their version of like that Pixar meeting where they made 46 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,440 like all of the good Pixar movies in like 1 meeting on the 47 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,080 back of a napkin. Like not that all other stuff 48 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,720 isn't also good, but like this came from that. 49 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,200 The the project actually came from the Kickstarter. 50 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:10,560 The A guide to casting Phantoms is is from that, but if you go 51 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,760 back and listen to that, you can hear a lot of ideas that they 52 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:15,040 actually put into or made games later. 53 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,160 So hey, go check out the Brain trust podcast with Adam and 54 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,960 Will. But again, today we're going 55 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,640 over Torque and you dropped the the Mad Max. 56 00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:25,640 I'm rocking my Inferno Rd. shirt. 57 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,360 Yeah. And for those that don't know, 58 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,200 I'm sure we'll talk about it next time Jurd is on. 59 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,200 But there's a new edition of Inferno Rd. which for those that 60 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:39,080 don't know it is presented by the Hobo Nomicon, which is 61 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,920 fantastic, like Weird magazine from Doug Kovacs and Wayne 62 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,800 Snyder. The new edition you can get 63 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,760 Space Penguin signed by both of them. 64 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,920 It's the con edition, so I definitely snag this side of the 65 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,800 older edition in the back. But Inferno Rd. is basically 66 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,560 like an adventure down a hell Rd., so I figure that's a 67 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,080 closest racing thing I have for Torque. 68 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,880 But that is that's what we're doing today. 69 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:08,760 We're going over to Torque. For those that can't see, Torque 70 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,360 is a sideways book shaped much like Cyber Metal 2012 A. 71 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,120 Very nice shape for a book. Also, and I don't know if this 72 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,360 is the reason for it because, because this is torque operator 73 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:28,680 manual on it, right? Every So I don't know, I my 74 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,080 assumption is that that had something to do with the the 75 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,680 thing of it. But every single car manual I've 76 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,640 ever had? Oh yeah, actually, they're all, 77 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,000 they're all sideways books like this. 78 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,600 That's funny thing to think about that. 79 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,240 That has to be a reference. It has to be the reference. 80 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,400 I almost even brought in my car manual to be like, look, it's 81 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:45,760 literally basically the same size. 82 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,600 But yeah, so torque, torque, you're a driver. 83 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,200 This is a typical game for two to five players built for single 84 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,560 session or multi session gameplay and it says torque is 2 85 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,560 games built into one and we'll talk about what that means the 86 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,600 road and the rest stop when we get into the game. 87 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,320 Beautiful book. Very yellow on the cover. 88 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:14,040 TORQ Torque will Yost JOBST good luck press.co check out all that 89 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,680 stuff out. But I think I think I think I 90 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,800 think that's it. That's what we have to to get 91 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,080 going. Yeah, yeah. 92 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,720 OK, well, let's get into the actual game review, which is 93 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,280 what we sometimes do on our game review. 94 00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:29,880 We. Occasionally review games on 95 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:35,480 this Game Review podcast. Every now, so I will say right 96 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:43,440 off the bat, we'll jump in. So sideways book, which makes 97 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:50,360 APDF somewhat, yeah, cumbersome for us in the way that we do our 98 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,200 layout. For those in podcast land, you 99 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,760 don't give a shit. But for those watching, it's not 100 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,200 a big deal. There's a little Gray bar top 101 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,880 and bottom, but but but super fun. 102 00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:04,760 The book comes as spreads. There's no pages PDF, at least 103 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,200 not in what you get from the itch. 104 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:10,640 So when you have a book that's already sideways and then put it 105 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:15,520 into spreads, you get a very, very, very wide PDF. 106 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,480 I'm going to go ahead and say that's like there's going to 107 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,080 lose points in usability for me, like right off the bat because 108 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,520 man was out of pain in the Dick to read through. 109 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,400 Yeah, well, I was reading it, so I was reading it on my iPad. 110 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,320 And so when I'd swipe it too far over, it would go to the next 111 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,640 document. And yeah, I was like. 112 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,000 OK, well, dude, that I almost I literally almost moved it to its 113 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,120 own folder so I would stop swiping into the fucking 114 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:43,080 character sheet. Regardless, though, what are 115 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,400 your Yeah, it's fantastic book. We'll get to the lay on stuff, 116 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:47,720 but initial thoughts. What are your? 117 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,560 What are your initial quick like one liner? 118 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,280 Oh, this seems like a lot of fun. 119 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:55,640 I agree. Mine's my one liner, so yeah. 120 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,000 Mine is that I agree, I like this game a lot. 121 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,240 It's great. I like so much stuff about it, 122 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:09,360 like the wills attention to every detail, both in the 123 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,480 writing and and even like the logo. 124 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,520 So even the logo looks like a car, right, like the the the O 125 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,440 and the Q are like wheels and stuff. 126 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:23,920 Like everything about it is really dope and it it it's got 127 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:27,400 it's a really nice level of simplicity to the cover and is 128 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,440 really striking and I love it. I this is a book that stands out 129 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,000 a lot. Oh, I want to did. 130 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,720 I don't know. Where's it going? 131 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:38,480 We'll never know. He's walked away. 132 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,000 It's just y'all. It's showing me now. 133 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,840 Nope, there he is. That's exciting. 134 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,960 Oh. You got the play mat. 135 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,480 I forgot to show that, so let me go back to the opening real 136 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,320 quick and I'll show this. So when you when you get the 137 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,200 game originally, you get the play mat. 138 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,960 We'll go over what this means, but both will and Adam love to 139 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:59,400 do these like cloth play mats and I and I love that they love 140 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,480 doing it. They're really great. 141 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,680 So this is the play mat for the game, which is genius in my 142 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,080 opinion, and we'll go over that, but it's basically like a chunk 143 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,960 of Rd. It's got the torque logo on it. 144 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,400 It's great. I love it, and we'll get into 145 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,120 what the fuck that means here in just a second after I fold the. 146 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,440 Torque, Torque. What does torque mean? 147 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,480 You know, whatever it means to you, but you know, So obviously 148 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,040 torque is like, you know a thing. 149 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,160 What is? You know what? 150 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,120 What's the textbook definition of? 151 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:44,120 Define torque and mechanics. Yeah, it is rotational analog of 152 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,480 linear force. What was yours? 153 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:48,720 Different. What were you saying? 154 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,120 That it's it's still rotational forced? 155 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,000 Yeah, so. It's a relationship between 156 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,760 force F, torque QA, linear momentum P, and angular momentum 157 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,840 L in the system, which has rotation constraint to only one 158 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:07,680 plane or or it's a tabletop role play game for two to five 159 00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:09,960 people. And here we are. 160 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,160 So jumping into layout right off the bat, I love it. 161 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,040 Again, it's sideways. Let me actually get to that 162 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:23,160 window. I love all of the pages. 163 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,920 Will does the same kind of thing that Adam does in this book that 164 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,440 Adam does a lot of his, which is that every page is individually 165 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,400 designed. There's not like a standard 166 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,840 layout like there there's a series or sometimes they're very 167 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,400 similar. But like when you go to the 168 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,880 first page on the inside of the book, it has this kind of like 169 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,080 leather, like worn leather look to it. 170 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:47,280 It reminds me of like my my car manual is like a Navy and 171 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,600 there's like a a leather stamp into it of the of a compass 172 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,440 rose. And then as you scroll right, 173 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,520 you get to the actual like kind of opening page. 174 00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:00,320 Torque rally raid role-playing is what it's called by Will 175 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,560 Yups, edited by set Pines, who again is the other member of 176 00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:07,960 good luck press photography Ben Garbo illustration by Gabriel 177 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,680 Reese Gabriel Reese play testing from Adam bell, Adam bass and 178 00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:13,280 set Pines. Those are that's a, those are 179 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,400 three people that are great and what they do. 180 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,160 And then Adams. Hey, listen, Adam sandwich 181 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:26,320 there, Seb, the meat. So good luck, best 2021. 182 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:29,760 I don't know you, Seb. I apologize if it's not OK to 183 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,480 call you the meat. So I also love this next page. 184 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,920 This kind of like not a rainbow, but kind of a rainbow Rd. 185 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,400 situation. It's like yellow, orange, red, 186 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,480 blue and then back to yellow, kind of like candy stripy thing. 187 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,320 And it goes to our table of contents, which is unfortunately 188 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:55,800 not hyperlinked, which is fuck. So OK, so again, so the the 189 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,960 issue that we're going to have repeatedly throughout this and 190 00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:59,200 you're going to have me say fuck a bunch. 191 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,440 So if you in podcast land who don't understand why I'm saying 192 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,760 fuck a bunch, it's because in order to show this on screen, 193 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,640 since the PDF is so wide, since it's in spreads and sideways, I 194 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:10,880 have it kind of chopped in the middle and I have to scroll back 195 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:12,160 and forth. But if I accidentally scroll up 196 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,200 and down, I'm going to be jumping past even an odd pages 197 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,560 and back and forth. It's going to be a whole thing. 198 00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:20,240 So good luck with that. If you don't like cursing, learn 199 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,920 what we do on this podcast. Yeah, like quick, quick note for 200 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,960 people out there, learn what this podcast is about and listen 201 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:37,400 to more than 10 minutes anyway. So I feel like it's weird that 202 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,960 this is not hyperlinked because I feel like there are inline 203 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,080 hyperlinks that like go to other pages and stuff. 204 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,960 So it's weird that the index itself is not hyperlinked. 205 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,360 Yours isn't, right? I mean, you're using the same 206 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,720 file that I am. So for for this book to be 94 207 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,240 pages not have hyperlinks in the index kind of sucks. 208 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,480 And I also don't think it has bookmarks. 209 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,400 Oh, it actually does have bookmarks. 210 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,520 So it does have bookmarks, yes. OK, cool, cool, cool, cool, 211 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,280 cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Hyperlinks would also be nice, 212 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,560 but at least for bookmarks, it kind of, you know, it works. 213 00:12:11,560 --> 00:12:17,920 It works a bit. So I'd love the there's a map of 214 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,840 content on the side and it has like a zero 101,000 like 200 at 215 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:26,200 like 20X or whatever, like a like it is a a map of, you know, 216 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:30,000 like the distance and stuff. But we have introduction making 217 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,120 drivers, Rd. enemies, obstacles and events, rest stop tools, 218 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,240 ticket generator, loot, rest stop again and speed running. 219 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:45,680 So we'll go through all of that. We got 2 beautiful spread here 220 00:12:45,680 --> 00:12:48,520 of a road just going off into the distance. 221 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,960 And it says this scheme is dedicated in part to the nasty 222 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,040 little piece of Rd. called the one lane bridge. 223 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,800 Wrought iron trellis caging A2 small St. for cars and 224 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,200 pedestrians and cyclists. The long drop down with Pkwy 225 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,600 intersecting its giant arch the way the bricks would like to 226 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,720 fall below. The myth of the 100 mile per 227 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,600 hour you could hit on it if you timed the lights right. 228 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,600 The signal one mile to your home. 229 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,400 Exactly. I eat the dust of the weird 230 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,680 world. Moats on the wind, unbothered by 231 00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:23,040 my trivialities. The tectonic shift of blacktop, 232 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,800 balding tires and patience. Drivers in formation finger for 233 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,760 convoy or caravan screaming to the next rest stop. 234 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,880 Tape decks melting in the rotten sunlight. 235 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,400 Cars. Cars, if you can call them that. 236 00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:41,240 Cars on ripping hot vertices against the world. 237 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,880 Yeah. Bro, so Will can fucking write, 238 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,280 yeah? They definitely can write. 239 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:52,160 Yeah, a lot there. There's some other stuff they're 240 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,720 out and you'll notice. Like the way that will write is 241 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,240 it's great. It's great all the way through, 242 00:13:57,680 --> 00:14:01,120 extremely enjoyable to read. Really helps with the vibes of 243 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:05,840 the way it is. So so yeah, good job. 244 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,840 Big fan. So introduction. 245 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:10,640 We'll cruise through this a little bit. 246 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,240 You race along the open Rd. collect the pieces of a changed 247 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,720 world and build something new together. 248 00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:20,200 You're a driver with a license to go anywhere and the grit to 249 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,640 handle anything. There's gas in the tank and X on 250 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,200 a map and open Rd. for miles again. 251 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,440 Just just fucking bangers it, really. 252 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:31,520 Does it keeps hitting all the way through too? 253 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,360 It really does. This is a post apocalyptic 254 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:37,400 racing role-playing game for two to five players over the course 255 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,920 of one or three hours for single session or episodic play. 256 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:43,920 It called itself two games and one it is. 257 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,240 I I It's two modes of play. That's exactly I don't I don't 258 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,560 I'm not a big fan of they. They kind of really leaned into 259 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,960 this two games and one thing, but I definitely felt like it's 260 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,680 like it feels better to call it two modes because you're not 261 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,640 going from one game to another game. 262 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,280 It's the same game, it's just a different mode. 263 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:07,320 It's like I'm not playing a like a car game and then the next I'm 264 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,960 playing like a dungeon diving dragon game. 265 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:14,200 Like it's just you're in a car for one part and you're not in a 266 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,280 car for one part. Yeah, well, and that's, it's 267 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,080 fine to call it that, but I'm glad that we both have the same 268 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:20,720 thought where it's just like actually it's, it feels more 269 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,840 like modes, but whatever. So it's a mix between a board 270 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,680 game and a role-playing game, which it really is when you when 271 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,040 you do the road mode, but it still transitions back in. 272 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,920 And I, I really, really enjoy that a lot. 273 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,720 I like when a game can just be a different mode where you don't 274 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,960 have to like try to pretend that like 5E is all the same fucking 275 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:40,840 mechanics the entire time. Like just play a different game. 276 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,400 That's one reason I love Forbidden Psalm so much is you 277 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,920 can play it as an RPG when you hit combat, you can play it as a 278 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,880 skirmish style. You know, absolutely. 279 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,120 I think I have several ideas of games in my head that have this 280 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,040 two mode thing that I'm like that doesn't work, but this is a 281 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,920 great example of having a 2 mode thing and it being like fairly 282 00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:02,160 seamless and working really well together. 283 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:04,720 I think another example I think of a good one is like Kingdoms 284 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:09,800 has that kind of like, yeah, zoomed in, zoomed out, yeah. 3 285 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,120 modes and multiple layer again. Yeah again, one of the best 286 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,680 games we've ever reviewed. I will say this is one that 287 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,760 immediately goes on to our side quest list because I want to 288 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,280 play this fucking game so bad. I would love to. 289 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,480 Play this so and. The other thing too is like it's 290 00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:24,880 GM less if I remember, so like we can just fucking do it like 291 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:26,480 there. Is a there's a the was of the 292 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,840 Torque AI that tells you how enemies react. 293 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:31,840 Which I love. Which I love. 294 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:36,120 Yeah, the only good AI. Yeah, stop destroying the 295 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,720 environment for your shitty pictures with six fingers and 296 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,000 weird boobs. So Torque is a mix between board 297 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,560 game and role-playing game. The board game part is the 298 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,680 actual Rd., which we use the map for, which you showed already in 299 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:54,160 the The role-playing part is the the rest stop, which is when you 300 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:59,360 actually like stop and and and interact with the world and the 301 00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,040 NPCS and stuff like that in a different way. 302 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,359 So the world is weird gone sour. It's hard to not read some of 303 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,920 this stuff, but it's great. So Torx Torx world exists after 304 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,880 a global change is that is a disaster, an apocalypse, a 305 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:16,920 choice. Create and play vignettes of 306 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,240 this weirded world, a world where people and communities 307 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,720 strike a truce with a hostile environment. 308 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,040 Surviving and thriving in the post Anthropocene. 309 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,359 Torque's world is more humanistic than its post 310 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,520 apocalyptic predecessors. This is not a game for a prepper 311 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,240 power fantasy, gun nut brinksmanship or a rehash of 312 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,600 feudalism. Torque's world is one of many 313 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,720 communities living independently, tied together by 314 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,880 the drivers who make it from point A to point B Mutual aid in 315 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,400 the weird world. I I really love that. 316 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,440 So I, you know me, I am grim dark to my deep dark, you know 317 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,840 black heart. Yeah absolutely garbage edge 318 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,160 Lord, right? But this game, it's very much 319 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,880 like it literally just says there it is not that thing. 320 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,720 This is not Mad Max in that sense. 321 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,360 This is the world is kind of separated. 322 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,320 Technology might be in not where it was. 323 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,760 And what pulls it together it gives, you know, what it gives 324 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:15,440 me a tiny sense of is Postman from with Kevin Costner. 325 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,200 I haven't. Seen it, sorry. 326 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:22,920 Bro OK, anyway, so and basically drivers keep the these 327 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,720 communities connected and the communities are trying to thrive 328 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:26,720 and rebuild and things like that. 329 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,120 So it's not post apocalyptic and that like you're worried about 330 00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:30,680 zombies and like everything's falling apart. 331 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,520 It's literally supposed to be like, again, it says mutual aid 332 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,640 and yeah, yeah, it's like guest stranding. 333 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:42,200 Yeah. But you know, I guess you can 334 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,440 have a weird baby in a bubble as an item. 335 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,080 Well, it's more about. Couriers keeping people 336 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,440 connected. Yeah, and I and I really like 337 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:51,760 that aspect of this game where it literally is like, this isn't 338 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,960 supposed to be a game about ultraviolence and weird like it 339 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,960 says, it's not not post rehashing feudalism and and 340 00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,840 power fantasy bullshit. I really like that. 341 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,000 It's more of just like, hey, this is about community. 342 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,360 So how do you use this book? Read it. 343 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,160 I'm not gonna read this part. It's good, but you should read 344 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:07,560 that part. Rules of the road. 345 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:09,480 The world was unkind. Against that unkindness, a 346 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,920 special agreement lives throughout every hub of life. 347 00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:16,840 Some people get licenses. So if you get a license as a 348 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,320 driver, you are basically accepted in communities. 349 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:24,120 That acceptance can have varying levels, but you are allowed to 350 00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:26,040 drive on the road. You are allowed to go to these 351 00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:27,680 communities and and that's kind of how it works. 352 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,000 To be licensed is to adhere to the rules of the road. 353 00:19:30,360 --> 00:19:32,840 I like that it's not like a blanket ticket that you're just 354 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:34,840 like, you're licensed, you're allowed to be anywhere at all 355 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:36,960 times, everyone loves you. It's like, no, realistically, 356 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,160 like some places you'll be like really appreciate because you 357 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,800 bring supplies or news and some places you might be just 358 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,840 tolerated because you bring supplies or news. 359 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:50,400 Exactly. In Torque you determine the 360 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,240 rules of the road before you start playing, and you can 361 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,160 change them as they go. So there's three different kind 362 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,280 of oh wait a minute, I think I scrolled down instead of 363 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,320 sideways. I did don't remind me to scroll 364 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,160 side of it instead of down. Sorry, I don't. 365 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,840 Need it. I need to play, so I thought we 366 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,640 were just not doing that so. Stuff. 367 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,800 Stuff you need. You need the stuff to play a 368 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,320 game. I will say there are some links 369 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:19,920 here so that the TinyURL to the X card from John Stavropoulos is 370 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:21,280 linked. Yeah. 371 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,840 Will you have the stitch? And good luck press.co, I think. 372 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,320 Those are links which which then hyperlink the index whatever 373 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:36,760 there is a little in in thing, a nice blue, a very beautiful 374 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:37,880 blue. I really like this blue a lot. 375 00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:38,400 Very. Nice. 376 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,200 Very pleasurable to look at. Basically this is the playmat is 377 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:43,080 compatible with matchbox cars, so. 378 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:47,200 Fucking sick, by the way. So great, such a great fucking 379 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,520 thing. It's like, yeah, you can go to 380 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,840 like Walmart and get pieces to play this game. 381 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,840 I'm like, that's amazing. For dirt cheap, like the cheapo 382 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,080 matchbox are like so, so inexpensive. 383 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,000 So anyway, so back to rules of the road. 384 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:01,600 There's three different kinds of play here. 385 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:08,080 So the 1-2, the top three are always the same in Convoy, Fast 386 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:14,200 Com and Furious No no Ampersand here and Death Race without 387 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,640 Jason Statham. So the top three rules are 388 00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,280 always I can stop at any time for any reason without question. 389 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,120 I can veto any content or description in this game by 390 00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:28,360 using the X card and I am. I'm safe at the rest stop for 391 00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:30,920 all three of these modes. Those 3 rules are the same. 392 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,040 The next ones are there's three more each. 393 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:39,400 It's I look out for and protect my fellow driver and Fast and 394 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,440 Furious as I look out for my fellow driver. 395 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,800 But I come first and in Death Race it's I'm out for my fellow 396 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,520 driver. And that kind of gives you a 397 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,720 sense convoy in communities. I'm welcome. 398 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,920 I can relax and refuel Fast and furious in communities. 399 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,080 Some treat us like their own. You can relax and refuel however 400 00:21:56,360 --> 00:21:58,600 and help however you can. And in Death Race it is in 401 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,520 communities I'm bad news. I can relax and refuel however I 402 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,280 can. So clearly there's, you know, 403 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:08,480 there's levels to this shit. And the last one is convoys. 404 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,280 Rated PG, no guns. The world is strange and 405 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:12,840 pathetic. Fast and Furious is rated PG 406 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,400 thirteens guns are extreme rarity, our world is weird and 407 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,520 stubborn and Death Race is rated R Guns are available but ammo is 408 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,040 an extreme rarity. Our world is a bad and mean. 409 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:28,080 So I feel like the game is kind of designed for Fast Furious. 410 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:32,640 I agree they give like. Their options, you know, Yeah, 411 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,960 depending on your group. And I think that all three of 412 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,040 those are incredibly playable. You could definitely get them to 413 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,120 work. But yeah, this game definitely 414 00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:44,080 is to be played as I mean, seems like native Fast and Fast 415 00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:45,600 Furious. Like that was the middle and. 416 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,160 Furious, but that's wrong. Fast comma. 417 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,000 Fast comma. Yeah, I feel like the middle 418 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:52,640 round is way. I mean, I would love to play all 419 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,800 three. I mean, we know it's we don't 420 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:56,400 even need to say which direction I would go to. 421 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,920 But the other thing to talk about the layout a little bit, 422 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,680 first of all, the font extraordinarily readable. 423 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,080 I love it. The game being sideways gives 424 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,160 you so much room to kind of like play with the layout a little 425 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:06,960 bit. So there's like long ways and 426 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,480 then multiple columns, but I love that across both pages, 427 00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,160 which is probably one of the reasons that we'll put this out 428 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,640 as just a spreads PDF is that a lot of them are designed as 429 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,800 spreads across both pages. Like this page, for example, 430 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,080 literally from like 3:00 to 4:00, there's this blue shape 431 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,760 that comes down on three and over into four as like a box. 432 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,320 And it's it's it's beautiful the whole way through. 433 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,040 Fantastically done. It says if you're playing for 434 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,080 the first time, try convoy. If you're looking for a hardcore 435 00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:36,880 challenge, go Death Race. For a little bit of both, try 436 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:41,080 Fast Furious. It continues to talk about like 437 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,680 calibrating the rules to your game, everything like that. 438 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,120 There's a section here on writing your own game. 439 00:23:46,120 --> 00:23:48,960 So rules are formed as I statements like I can stop at 440 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,520 the atomic and veto. Make that work for your game. 441 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,520 And then there is player versus player options. 442 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,520 The roads have plenty of spoils for the winter and some 443 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:58,960 collateral damage. There are options you can do 444 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,120 player either players don't attack other players, or players 445 00:24:01,120 --> 00:24:05,360 can attack but not kill, or players can kill. 446 00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:08,840 Like again, it's extremely customizable for the style of 447 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:10,760 world and game you want to play in, and it's really enjoyable 448 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,160 because it's not. It doesn't feel heavy, you know? 449 00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:18,560 Absolutely. Rules of the road community 450 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:20,760 sanctuary towards the game of a connecting community. 451 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,720 So again, still talking about like getting the game to the way 452 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,000 you want. You could have that. 453 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,320 We can roll the welcome wagon. Communities could keep their 454 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,320 distance. You could be hated but 455 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,400 tolerated. Again, a lot of this is just 456 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:34,760 about building the world you want to play in. 457 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,560 Content again asking what level of style of content you want to 458 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,880 play. There is a box here that says no 459 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,320 matter the rules, drivers who kill other drivers will have 460 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,680 their license revoked if the secret gets out. 461 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,120 This can be compelling gameplay, but make sure you're all on the 462 00:24:49,120 --> 00:24:53,520 same page beforehand. Photography all the way through 463 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:54,800 too. I love that they use like real 464 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:55,520 pictures of cars. This. 465 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:59,320 Is a great this is a great piece right here and how like I I like 466 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,720 the way that the lines and veils paragraph is around the photo. 467 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:07,640 I I love the vibe of this whole book has a lot of stuff like 468 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:09,280 this and like this is great. This is really good. 469 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,120 So Bobby, so I really wish, I think we talked about it a 470 00:25:12,120 --> 00:25:15,360 little bit with perils and princesses, how they really did 471 00:25:15,360 --> 00:25:18,640 a lot of like the art actually like in the text. 472 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,880 So the text would wrap around it as opposed to just do a couple 473 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,280 of columns and stick it on the bottom. 474 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,720 Like, you can make your page look so much more dynamic with 475 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,440 the same words and the same stuff if you just, like, bring 476 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,160 it up in and, like, wrap the text around. 477 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,360 And this one definitely very much does so with a lot of the 478 00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:33,240 art. Strong agree. 479 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,840 So lions and veils, they exist. You know what they are you. 480 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:40,400 Yeah, yeah. If you don't, just look at lions 481 00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:42,440 and veils. If you listen to this recently 482 00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,280 and you're like, these guys never talk about lions and 483 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:48,120 veils, it's because we did for the first like 40 episodes and 484 00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:49,800 then they're in every game. We're just like, you know what 485 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,080 you like. You as the GM, our Traver and 486 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,720 players have responsibility to know this information, so read 487 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,080 it. Yeah, Lions, veils, X cards, 488 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:00,600 safety tools. There's a whole website for 489 00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:01,800 safety tools. Use them. 490 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,720 If you think you don't need them, you're wrong. 491 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,680 At least have a conversation. Yeah, you should definitely talk 492 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:11,200 with your table because people feel differently about things. 493 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,720 Yes. So I looked up Eshkatan before 494 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,800 and I thought it was a fantastic word, Eshkatan. 495 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,800 So Eshkatan, this is no Eshkatan. 496 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,600 Eshkatan is the last thing it's used in theology to refer to the 497 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,840 climax of history culminating in the last judgement. 498 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:30,520 So this saying there is no last judgement, which there isn't, so 499 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,400 that's cool. So there's a whole page here of 500 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,040 just fantastic, beautiful writing on page 7. 501 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,760 No easy answers, no divinity, no eschaton. 502 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,960 I'm not going to read the like 5 paragraphs that are here, but 503 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,400 just know that Will's writing is fucking fantastic. 504 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,600 I will say I did notice, I will say I did notice there are some 505 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:56,480 grammatical errors at the book, as in like some missing letters, 506 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,840 some like extra spaces, some missing punctuation and things 507 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,280 like that. So I'm not going to point out a 508 00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,680 ton of them as we go through. But there there are there are 509 00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:09,600 there are some through and and yeah. 510 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,440 So no Eschaton again, great spread. 511 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,200 I love though they put Eschaton on this page. 512 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,320 I love the. Jumble like it's falling, you 513 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:18,920 know? Yeah. 514 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,000 Well, yeah, like the all the color fell out of it and then 515 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,720 it's just a hollow one. Yeah, it's beautiful. 516 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,080 Again, the spreads are are amazing. 517 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:30,280 A fantastic piece of art here of a driver with just a beat of 518 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,920 shit car and this nice lady serving them like a soda in the 519 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:36,280 window. Hood's just being peeled away 520 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:37,600 chunk by chunk. It's. 521 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,240 Yeah, broken window. Like it's, it's a beauty. 522 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,920 It's an absolutely stunningly beautiful piece. 523 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,480 I really, really love this lot. This this piece in and of 524 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:47,320 itself. I was like, oh, I like if I 525 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:48,840 didn't have the vibe already, which I did. 526 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,800 Like, this is perfect. Like he just looks so nice. 527 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,400 And she's just like, so happy to give him a soda. 528 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,520 You know, It's cool. So moving into making drivers so 529 00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:59,200 drivers go fast, stay alive and rule the road. 530 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,160 You are drivers. You have special abilities and 531 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,800 skill sets. How does that line go? 532 00:28:04,120 --> 00:28:06,160 Like you have a specific set of skills. 533 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,000 I have a. Specific set of skills, Yeah, 534 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,920 yeah. Yeah, you stole my daughter and 535 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,360 then you stole my daughter again, apparently because 536 00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:14,720 there's like 4 movies. My name. 537 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:16,680 Is Neil Montoya. You stole my daughter prepared 538 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:18,000 to die. That's how it goes, right? 539 00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:19,600 That's that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 540 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,360 Cuz Inigo Montoya has a special set of skills. 541 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:27,880 Use ambidextrous, you know, so making drivers, you do you make 542 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,640 them. I will say, I will say this is 543 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,080 one of those games where I was like, I wish I would have got a 544 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,560 little bit more of the mechanics before a very big making the 545 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:39,520 driver section, because when I was making the driver, like 546 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:41,400 there were a bunch of questions I had about the system. 547 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,960 And this, this reminds me of why I like at least like a a quick 548 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,200 rules intro because at this point the game you don't, you 549 00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:49,920 know, know anything about the mechanics of the game 550 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,160 whatsoever. So as you start to like pick 551 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:54,080 things, you don't really know what they're used for. 552 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,880 And that's always my issue with character creation. 553 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,480 Obviously you're going to read through it and then read it 554 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,560 again to do character, but it's nice and the first go round to 555 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:02,880 like understand as you go through. 556 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:06,520 I agree so. There's two different. 557 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,520 Routes for making drivers right? There's where you get something 558 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:10,640 else you're going to do. No, go for it. 559 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:15,760 No, no, no, go for. It there is hard charging for 560 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:20,880 quick starts, any of the scenic route for more detailed 561 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,520 character creation. And and the the kind of note 562 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,000 here is in the scenic route, there is like a roster of like 563 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,960 pre made characters that have like their own like very unique 564 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,520 traits to them that you can kind of embody and like role play as 565 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,360 these people. And there's some pretty good 566 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,080 ones. I wish there were more actually, 567 00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,120 but yeah. We'll just have to get torque 568 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,200 add-ons. You know the cool thing, the 569 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,720 cool thing about those drivers and the scenic group we get to 570 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:53,400 them is that you can make more of your own because all of the 571 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,920 tools and stuff to make them already there, they basically 572 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,520 use the tools in the book and give you those ideas. 573 00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,760 So at the very least they do explain like how to make more of 574 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,960 your own, which is always cool. It's always nice to leave room 575 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,440 for people to do but. Not hard to do, like, reading 576 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,080 them. You're like, there's characters 577 00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,040 are fairly simple in this game. They're interesting and they're 578 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,880 cool and they have, like, facets to them. 579 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,760 But they are, you know, simple. Yeah. 580 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,840 Yeah, very much so. And and I like that I don't need 581 00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:22,360 400 pages. No, we need. 582 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,640 I want a 400 page book. I want to know everything about 583 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:30,800 the character. How the history of their. 584 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,280 Homeland, you know, what city were they born in? 585 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:39,480 What's that city like? Well, I was going to figure that 586 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,320 out. So a couple of random tables on 587 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:42,920 the next page. I got to say this is one of my 588 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,080 favorite spreads in the entire book. 589 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,840 I've I it's so good. It's. 590 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,640 So this fucks so hard honestly and. 591 00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,360 So good. The the choices that you can get 592 00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,640 when you roll because I rolled a few times are they're great. 593 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,240 They're so funny, they're interesting. 594 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,880 Yeah, I, I enjoyed this. And then I think in a couple 595 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:04,440 pages when we get to the like livery of your car and stuff, I 596 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,560 was like, this is so all of this is so good. 597 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,080 It's so good, it's so good.

This is how to explain how 674 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,320 please. These people do more of this. 675 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,000 I I prefer this, I think to the whole like your character sheets 676 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:22,440 on there. It's got numbers next to it and 677 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,640 you go to like next page and then I have to read through all 678 00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:26,360 the numbers and I get to flip back to look at it. 679 00:35:26,360 --> 00:35:29,240 You know, this is great. My favorite one's horn. 680 00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:32,960 Dude the horn is so funny.

And then the stuff is in the 684 00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,080 background of the steering wheel. 685 00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,560 But obviously on the steering wheel is the the horn honk 686 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:47,160 symbol and the explanation. Yeah, just for honking is 687 00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,480 fantastic. So you you get HP, you get your 688 00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,640 character and vehicle details, you get rest stop details, you 689 00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,480 get Rd. actions and you get horn. 690 00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,320 So in torque you are your car to that end, like your HP and stuff 691 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:01,520 we'll get to that is all together. 692 00:36:01,840 --> 00:36:04,280 All the details go on there. So name, vehicle, look, 693 00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:05,840 registration, all that stuff goes on there. 694 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,600 And then the rest stop stuff we'll get to is on there. 695 00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,800 And then the road action you can do so everything you need and 696 00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:13,160 it's very beautiful vibe sheet.

And then then get to a page that 699 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:28,440 has like a blue engine in the back with like the whole like 700 00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:32,840 all the tubes, Yeah, all the tubes and and wires and rotors. 701 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,600 And I don't know shit about cars I know. 702 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,840 Shit about cars. My car drives mostly so. 703 00:36:41,080 --> 00:36:44,240 So you are your car in torque. Your body and vehicle are 704 00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:46,200 represented by horsepower, which is HP. 705 00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:49,720 Which that tickled me pink. Amazing use of HP. 706 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:54,040 Yep, Yep, Yep. You get health, you get crashes, 707 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,080 and you get speed. So health is denoted by pips, 708 00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,880 which is just dot. Crashes are denoted by a 709 00:36:59,880 --> 00:37:03,400 bracket, which is basically like an LA Capital L with little 710 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,560 hooks. And then speed is your zero to 711 00:37:05,560 --> 00:37:07,360 60, which is the number from 2:00 to 12:00. 712 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:10,320 Low is being faster because it's your zero to 60 speeds. 713 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,600 The lower is better because I mean, you're faster, right? 714 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:17,200 I'm OK with like the whole dot bracket thing. 715 00:37:17,240 --> 00:37:23,200 I think it's like you could also just do like 1-2, like 3 dash 4, 716 00:37:23,240 --> 00:37:26,320 but like it's fine. It's interesting, yeah. 717 00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,440 It is interesting, yeah. I, I think, I don't think it's 718 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,000 like the most optimized thing ever, but I don't think that's 719 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,680 like the ambition of it. It is interesting and it does 720 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,960 look kind of cool. Yeah, I'm fine with it. 721 00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,840 So the full expression is crashes, health and zero to 60 722 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:46,080 represented by your HP. To journal HP you roll 26 sided 723 00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:48,240 dice and add them together. So roll roll some HP real quick. 724 00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:56,360 9. Nine, OK, so your raw number 725 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:59,040 you're zero to 60 is 9, which is high. 726 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:03,880 So it's interesting because you're that means that you're 727 00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:08,680 going to have more like crashes and health, but you're slower. 728 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,840 So someone who rolled one, gosh are a glass cannon but you're 729 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:14,160 going to go 1st every fucking time? 730 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,160 Right. Well, you can't roll 1222. 22222 731 00:38:17,720 --> 00:38:21,080 Okay, so you are your car, so it says and there's an example 732 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,360 here. A roll of three and a four is 733 00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:26,360 A7, so total 0 sixty is 7. So you are your car. 734 00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,400 Likewise, health is nested in crashes. 735 00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:31,320 So one health and it took me I had to go back and read this 736 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,640 again. So one health in one crash looks 737 00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,400 like this. The PIP inside a bracket. 738 00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:39,360 Every crash needs health in it, but multiple health can go into 739 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:41,680 a crash. Spin points from the original 740 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,760 result to build your driver health and crashes cause one 741 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,080 point each. Put health in a crashes and then 742 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,280 write your zero to 60 afterwards. 743 00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:52,440 So the way using that 3-4 and seven example they have, they 744 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:55,240 decided to do 4 pips and three crashes, right? 745 00:38:56,160 --> 00:39:00,360 So they did a bracket with a pip, another bracket with two 746 00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:04,240 pips, 1/3 bracket with a pip and that's all of their health. 747 00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:09,240 So it's 1234 pips, 567 for three crashes, A7 at the end. 748 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,800 And that is how your character, that's your character, that's 749 00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,400 how it looks. And then there's different. 750 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:17,640 Ways. For mine, I would do 5 pips in 751 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:22,120 four crashes because I rolled 5 into 4, so I would give me 4 752 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,720 crashes. I'd do probably 2 in the first 753 00:39:24,720 --> 00:39:26,400 one and then one and all the rest of them. 754 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:30,880 Yeah, it doesn't really. I guess it kind of matters a 755 00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,800 little bit after that because of the way that like, when you get 756 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,160 collided and we'll talk about that. 757 00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,240 Yeah, because empty, empty stuff matters. 758 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,400 Torque is concerned with how many times characters can crash, 759 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:45,080 how much help they have and how fast they are. 760 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:46,600 Obviously. It's literally the three things 761 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,160 that you have. HP is narratively flexible, so 762 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:50,520 it can represent a bunch of stuff. 763 00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:54,440 So reallocating HP during any restaurant rest stop, you can 764 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,000 reallocate HP and switch up your arrangement of health and 765 00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,320 crashes, which is cool basically every time. 766 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:01,040 If you're just like, man, I fucked this up a little bit. 767 00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,440 It's nice out there now, like you can only do this on level up 768 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:04,400 or whatever. Like I like that. 769 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,120 You can just be like, Nah, fuck it, just change it. 770 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:11,080 Why not? So the hard charging section, 771 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:14,960 this is the arcade mode. As we said here, you roll 2D6 772 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:20,360 and this is your registration, and then you roll to determine 773 00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:22,600 your HP and then take the corresponding moves on the next 774 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,240 page. If you want to spend some time 775 00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:26,160 developing your drivers and relationships with the world, 776 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:31,120 you can you can take the senior route page 23 again, the it's 777 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,600 not in line hyperlinked. It's totally possible to do hard 778 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,120 charging and do deeper role-playing elements. 779 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,000 It's just quicker to go. So there's a spot here. 780 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:44,000 This is restop world 2D6 and then #2 add results together and 781 00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,640 take the corresponding registration activity. 782 00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:54,240 So what if you so there's it's got 2 to 345678910 and then 783 00:40:54,240 --> 00:40:58,360 11:00 and 12:00 as the tables. So roll 286 and tell me what you 784 00:40:58,360 --> 00:40:59,840 get. I got 10. 785 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:04,200 I got snap. With your portable darkroom, you 786 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:08,160 photograph the here and there. The activity is at every 787 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,840 restaurant. Capture a special moment for 788 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:12,920 your photo book. Cool. 789 00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:16,760 So the, the the registration is the top part. 790 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,120 So snap is your registration and then like the part underneath is 791 00:41:20,120 --> 00:41:22,320 kind of like who you are. So you're obviously a 792 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:23,920 photographer, right? And you get a dark room. 793 00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:26,760 Some of the other ones are like perfumer. 794 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:29,800 The aroma of the post Anthropocene is yours to 795 00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,520 collect. There's one that's like a a a 796 00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,480 rain dog. Weird weather is your game 797 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:38,040 chasing storms of any stripe. So it's the vibe of your 798 00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:40,560 character and kind of like they're like kind of core 799 00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:42,800 personality bits and then the activity that goes associated 800 00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,680 with it for the restaurant. These next two pages. 801 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,320 My goodness. Yeah. 802 00:41:48,240 --> 00:41:55,520 They're so good. So this is kind of like the 803 00:41:55,520 --> 00:42:00,480 build for the characters. So you've got the makings of a 804 00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:02,280 driver, give them the name and stuff like that. 805 00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:05,400 So you want to give an explanation here on the side. 806 00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:10,400 So roll 26 out of dice, determine your HP, take your 807 00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:12,760 stock stunts and pick custom stunts. 808 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:19,640 So this is a stunts page, right? So you already have your HP, 809 00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:21,640 right? Which it is weird that they kind 810 00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:25,440 of tell you to determine your HP twice on the stunts page and on 811 00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:31,240 the registration page, but roll your two D6 to figure out your 812 00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:33,760 your stunts. Yeah, OK. 813 00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:41,040 So I got 2. OK, so I got experimental 814 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,200 experimental. Yeah, it's a cool 1. 815 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:49,640 So I can I take both? I can inflict to health to any 816 00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:53,760 target and I can launch everything in current tile. 817 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,680 And that's your stock. That's your stock option. 818 00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,000 Yes, my stock and I get to pick one from the customs. 819 00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:04,200 I get to pick one, heal two health on the row or ignore next 820 00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:09,240 crash or swap any tile. That's pretty good I think. 821 00:43:09,240 --> 00:43:13,040 I do ignore next crash. Yeah, that's a good one. 822 00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,520 And then each one also has a little like a little blurb for 823 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,000 experimental. So what does the experimental 824 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,720 one say this? Hypothetical vehicle defies a 825 00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:25,440 known law or two. I mean, you have an alien car. 826 00:43:25,800 --> 00:43:27,680 I do. I have an alien car with Satan. 827 00:43:28,720 --> 00:43:30,480 With Satan on the hood. I mean, obviously it defies some 828 00:43:30,480 --> 00:43:32,800 shit. So there's experimental, turbo, 829 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:37,480 sturdy, stubborn, nimble, streamlined, fortified, hulking 830 00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,800 and industrial. And for each one, industrial 831 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,360 dude, industrial. So good car's like a bunker. 832 00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,360 Yeah, it rocks 9 inch nails all the time. 833 00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,640 So for each one, you do get to 2 stock options, you know, you 834 00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:55,000 know, to the moon. And then you, you get to pick 835 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,560 one of the customs. So though that changes when you 836 00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,720 do the scenic route, it kind of just gives you the stuff that 837 00:43:59,720 --> 00:44:00,480 you need. So that's it. 838 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,680 So that's kind of your car, your driver, everything as far as 839 00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,920 that goes. The last thing is your livery, 840 00:44:05,920 --> 00:44:07,960 which again, yeah, this page is so fucking amazing. 841 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,680 So there's actually. It's a great page. 842 00:44:11,240 --> 00:44:15,640 So it's another 66 for your livery, but it has a strip of 843 00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:20,720 design for every single livery on the entire thing. 844 00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:24,600 So what what? What did you get for your two? 845 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:29,280 Two, I got carbon fiber. Carbon fiber, So you get this 846 00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:31,400 nice carbon fiber design right here. 847 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,560 There are some really like the hypothetical 1 I love like the 848 00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:38,600 number one of each one actually is on a car and the rest are 849 00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:39,720 like stripes and stuff like that. 850 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:44,080 But the the hypothetical one, it's like it's like it looks 851 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,720 like right almost riding on a chalkboard of like math and like 852 00:44:46,720 --> 00:44:48,800 crazy shit. Really dope. 853 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,960 Obviously I'm going to like the the heavy metal one with like 854 00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,680 the skeleton do the paper cup on Fox. 855 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,120 I thought, I thought the cupcake, the ice cream one 856 00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:02,480 before I read it was like pills, but it's just like really zoomed 857 00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:06,360 in sprinkles on ice cream. CRT is really cool too. 858 00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:12,680 The what? The CRT 64, it's it's the purple 859 00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,040 yellow, kind of like. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 860 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:21,280 I also really love the which one is the one that is brand deal 861 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,080 and it's torque. It's torque is like the branded 862 00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:25,960 one. Yeah, it's so good. 863 00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,880 It's so good. Like so you got So what what 864 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,200 what what did you get? You got the carbon fiber, which 865 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:34,320 I mean for an alien car that defies law in physics with Satan 866 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:35,920 under the hood, you know, carbon fiber, the. 867 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,840 Most normal thing about my car honestly. 868 00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:40,240 Realistically, yeah, I mean, yeah. 869 00:45:41,360 --> 00:45:46,080 And all the batteries, right? OK, so scenic route, again, this 870 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:48,640 changes a little bit different. So for a longer game, you can 871 00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:50,240 add some specificity to your driver. 872 00:45:50,240 --> 00:45:52,360 You take the scenic route. Each character can only be 873 00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,160 chosen by one player because they're one-of-a-kind. 874 00:45:54,160 --> 00:45:55,640 They're already pre built kind of characters. 875 00:45:56,720 --> 00:45:58,920 You basically choose it. You pick your name, the look, 876 00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:00,240 the vehicle, all that kind of stuff. 877 00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:03,680 But so it says, let's take a look at each of the elements 878 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:05,600 that make up the scenic route. A lot of it's going to be the 879 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:07,320 same. So you get a starting package, 880 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,800 which is a unique advantage that the driver has which are stock 881 00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:14,600 custom stunts in the rest in the rest stop section, the driver 882 00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:16,640 has special ability to go over the scene group. 883 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,400 Driver has special goals called checklist scenes and these are 884 00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:22,480 iconic moments that take place during the story. 885 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,880 And then for every two checklist scenes, you get a reward and 886 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:28,560 rewards include a community wide event that you get to put on. 887 00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:32,440 And every driver has a last ride, which is that's the 888 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,160 sunset. Players have both rewards and 889 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:35,600 can choose to sunset their driver. 890 00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,960 So this is this is a way to actually like kind of like 891 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:41,720 complete the the life of your driver is to get your rewards by 892 00:46:41,720 --> 00:46:43,640 doing the things to achieve your goals. 893 00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:46,160 And then actually decide to like you're going to drive off in the 894 00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,400 sunset or pick a community you like and stay there and things 895 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,360 like that. You can also roll 2D6 to 896 00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,600 determine how many numbers in the vanity plate if you want to 897 00:46:53,600 --> 00:47:00,240 do that, which is great. Love it so so as far. 898 00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:02,400 As. Oh, that's how many? 899 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:03,840 So what?

So modem, yeah, feed bringer. 917 00:47:56,040 --> 00:48:00,000 You connect communities to a ragged mesh net where people 918 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,840 across the wounded world can link up. 919 00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,400 You are a modem. You carry the connection. 920 00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,960 And every rest shop you stitch together the world, if just for 921 00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,960 a moment. The starting package group chat 922 00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:14,360 at the end of every round give any driver one health. 923 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,120 Pretty good and. That's specifically so the 924 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,120 starting package. So what What I love about the 925 00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:22,960 page too is it keeps us kind of like like blurb skinny thing, 926 00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:24,960 blur, like the bracket kind of thing a bunch. 927 00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,680 So you have the road, the stock, the custom and the rest of 928 00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:29,280 options. So the starting package, that 929 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:30,800 thing is always just for the road option. 930 00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,360 It's funny how non traditional it is and still broken up really 931 00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:35,760 well. I mean like layout wise semi non 932 00:48:35,760 --> 00:48:37,080 traditional. I just mean not what everyone 933 00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,680 else is doing, but it's still broken up in the way that you 934 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:41,680 can very easily read it and understand it. 935 00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,480 So well. So for stock options we take 936 00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:46,680 both of these. I have jailbreak which you can 937 00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:52,480 lock or lure on target Incognito which is cloak self. 938 00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,880 So real quick, so this is what I was talking about, going through 939 00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,520 character and stuff like that like lock or lore, it means 940 00:48:58,520 --> 00:48:59,920 fucking nothing to me at this point in the game. 941 00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:01,200 Yeah, I totally. I get it. 942 00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,480 So I get you can kind of, you know what luring something is, 943 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:08,560 you know what lock is, you can kind of make it, but but it'd be 944 00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,520 cool to have. Yeah, Yeah, I get it for custom. 945 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:15,320 This one's like what does it mean to send something to rally 946 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:20,760 right time out, send any target to rally or you custom you pick 947 00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:28,320 1A hotspot, slag any tile kind of slaps or buffering, drag any 948 00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:34,760 column. Yeah, and the other thing to 949 00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,360 like about this page is that like the two quote UN quote 950 00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:42,000 games, AKA the modes like the like the one mode is all on the 951 00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:43,520 left and the other mode is like all on the right. 952 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,200 So like the road, stock and custom is all on the left for 953 00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:47,840 the road mode. And then the rest stop section 954 00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:50,760 is its own to the right to even without like explicitly saying 955 00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,680 that like that's just how it lined up, which is really great. 956 00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,680 Yeah, so for the rest stop stuff, the activity, you ask 957 00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,600 yourself what's something you do to help everywhere you go. 958 00:50:01,560 --> 00:50:04,160 Yeah, and there's the checklist scenes. 959 00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:09,200 Reformat is the title of yours. The options are collect, 960 00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:15,160 digitize and memorialize a late artist work, connect a recluse 961 00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:20,160 to their friend and join them for their monthly online 962 00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,840 meeting. Next one is Trace, the signal of 963 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:25,320 an anonymous online bully. Beat the fuck out of them. 964 00:50:25,320 --> 00:50:29,240 Fuck bullies. And also the next one is repair 965 00:50:29,240 --> 00:50:32,680 a surely destroyed hard drive and return its memories to the 966 00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,680 community. Now if you do these things, the 967 00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:39,360 rewards, you know. Host an online gaming festival 968 00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:43,120 for the community, bolstering spirits, or bring together the 969 00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:47,480 drivers and set up a dating friendship profile for everyone. 970 00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,840 Remake Facebook in this post pocket world. 971 00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,480 Make it worse. You know, give me Zenga you. 972 00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:58,120 Know that would slap actually, so and then you're sunset and 973 00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:02,280 when you've completed all of them, find somewhere cozy and 974 00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:05,480 start start that podcast you've been thinking about. 975 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:08,920 There you go. I will say there's one that kind 976 00:51:08,920 --> 00:51:16,480 of like I was like in the speaker box the the sunset is 977 00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:19,720 collect the last pieces for a high-powered radio station and 978 00:51:19,720 --> 00:51:20,920 set it up somewhere high and safe. 979 00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:24,360 Spread the signal. I don't know why spread the 980 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:26,800 signal always felt like it feels more MO to me. 981 00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:31,480 To me is kind of like a like me. I'm thinking of signals as like 982 00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:34,640 the Internet versus like noise. Totally. 983 00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:38,200 It absolutely works. But yeah, the only one that I 984 00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:43,440 was just like OK, so that is basically most of 985 00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:45,120 characterization will get to some other stuff. 986 00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:48,240 So you can also roll another 2D6 for your steering wheel for. 987 00:51:48,240 --> 00:51:49,080 Your steering wheel? Yeah. 988 00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:50,440 Yeah. So roll that up. 989 00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:54,600 Yeah, I rolled over 33 airplane configuration. 990 00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,360 What the fuck's going on with my car? 991 00:51:57,200 --> 00:52:00,920 Yeah, like the the the thing and then roll again to see where it 992 00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:05,000 is. God, it's this one's added 993 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,880 together, right? Yeah, it is. 994 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:09,200 Yeah. Nine, it's in the trunk. 995 00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:14,560 So the only problem with the roll 2D26 sided dice and add 996 00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:17,960 them together for where's the wheel is you can't roll A1 but 997 00:52:17,960 --> 00:52:21,000 one is on here. It's very funny the the left 998 00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:23,600 side, it'll never be on the left side of the car that. 999 00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:26,400 Actually cracks me the I honestly, I thought it was a 1000 00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:29,440 mistake for a second, but that's absolutely on perfect because on 1001 00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,320 purpose, because that's where it is and that's where it can never 1002 00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:34,720 be. And that is so fucking funny. 1003 00:52:34,720 --> 00:52:37,000 Actually. Like I clear obviously not a 1004 00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,120 mistake and it it literally is just telling you no, you can 1005 00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:41,640 never have it where it's supposed to be, which is great. 1006 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,640 Some of the other awesome steering wheel options are is. 1007 00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,680 That one of them. Yeah, the non skull bones 1008 00:52:49,320 --> 00:52:56,400 biological joystick, but some of the other options that are great 1009 00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:59,480 is hypothetical. You have a hypothetical steering 1010 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,600 wheel, which is. Great set of gloves, you know. 1011 00:53:03,240 --> 00:53:07,360 Yeah, and that's it a glass case that says brake in case of 1012 00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,840 driving. And then the the far right side 1013 00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:13,520 of that panel is a is a gorgeous picture of a steering wheel 1014 00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:17,080 again, just spreads, spreads for days that are just absolutely 1015 00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:20,120 beautiful. There's AGPS page it says some 1016 00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,040 of these wrecks have a global positioning in them. 1017 00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:25,600 Take a look on our on take a look on our own. 1018 00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:28,800 There's nothing funny with the device. 1019 00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:33,200 There's taking a look on our own. 1020 00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:34,560 There's nothing funny with these devices. 1021 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,480 Receiver with 16 channels tuned to eat the signal of now dead 1022 00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,400 satellites. The chip sets are worth nothing. 1023 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:42,200 Now dead isn't quite right. Some of this orbital flossom 1024 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,120 came down OK anyway, so it's writing, it's not description. 1025 00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,120 So it's a big what to do when these meet the dirt. 1026 00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,240 So basically it's saying that like low flying satellite 1027 00:53:50,240 --> 00:53:52,240 sometimes fall to the ground and people want to go scavenge 1028 00:53:52,240 --> 00:53:56,560 those. So and then there's three kind 1029 00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:00,640 of things blocks on the other side with addition to my 1030 00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:02,720 destination mine drivers can get there. 1031 00:54:02,720 --> 00:54:05,600 The road just chooses how. And hypothetically here's the 1032 00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:07,400 plan and it says kind of how the game goes. 1033 00:54:07,800 --> 00:54:11,320 Got a drone, bring the chepsets to a techie, pull a star from 1034 00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,240 the sky, deliver a transporter to three communities, set up the 1035 00:54:14,240 --> 00:54:15,880 route solidifies. So this kind of like an 1036 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,320 adventure without saying, hey, this is an adventure. 1037 00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,400 Weirdly an adventure I'll also love. 1038 00:54:20,440 --> 00:54:22,880 It's like pull a star from the sky and drag it home. 1039 00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:27,040 Good fucking luck. Yeah, I didn't read the best 1040 00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:29,960 part. Yeah, Yeah, it's kind of 1041 00:54:29,960 --> 00:54:32,880 randomly like that's how I read it is like this randomly listed 1042 00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:33,880 adventure in the game. It's. 1043 00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,480 Kind of a little adventure fuel. I don't, I don't think I minded 1044 00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,440 how it's kind of thrown in here. It's just like a little blurb 1045 00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,720 about like what about GPS for your car? 1046 00:54:40,720 --> 00:54:42,680 It's like, Oh yeah. What about GPS? 1047 00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,920 Well, here's what is about GPS. And it kind of like gives you a 1048 00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,120 little fuel for later on, Like, hey, maybe this is the thing 1049 00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:49,440 that you guys get into, you know? 1050 00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:50,800 Yeah. That's dope. 1051 00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,600 Another beautiful spread from one page to the other the road 1052 00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:57,680 and the rest stop torques made of two games who talked about 1053 00:54:57,680 --> 00:55:03,960 this road is Rd. rest UPS rest up so the road. 1054 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,480 So there's a picture on the far left here. 1055 00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:08,520 This is the playmat, which is fantastic. 1056 00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,440 So going over a little bit is a curved part of the what looks 1057 00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:17,720 like a like a NASCAR or F or is F1 like Rd. 1058 00:55:17,720 --> 00:55:19,320 It's curving. It's got like the black and 1059 00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:23,000 white like lines on the inside, the wall of the outside. 1060 00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:26,640 There's three kind of like position things at the top and 1061 00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,680 it's basically a grid. It's like a tic tac toe board 1062 00:55:28,680 --> 00:55:32,800 with a little curve to it. And this represents the road and 1063 00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:36,000 your position on it. And I love the way that it works 1064 00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,120 because that's all you really need because it's just it's 1065 00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:41,520 representative of the road always moving and you moving on 1066 00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,120 and just your position on the road and the road always moving 1067 00:55:44,120 --> 00:55:47,200 forward, kind of like in a side scrolling kind of way, right? 1068 00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:49,560 So the road is a three by three grid. 1069 00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:52,680 It's an abstract map representing a pack of cars. 1070 00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:55,600 The road has three sections. There is the road, which is the 1071 00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:58,160 actual grid. There's the rally, which is the 1072 00:55:58,160 --> 00:56:01,320 bottom of the road, which would be like the behind you, and 1073 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:04,520 there's the head, which is the top of the grid. 1074 00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:07,800 And that is what's coming next. It's stylized as a grid. 1075 00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:08,840 You can always just play on a grid. 1076 00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:10,600 That's fine. And there are four things on the 1077 00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:11,800 road. There's driver's events, 1078 00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:13,600 obstacles, and enemies. So we'll get to those. 1079 00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:16,760 So starting positions are two ways to set up the road. 1080 00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:18,840 If you're playing through an episode, read the episode 1081 00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:20,400 startup. It'll tell you right? 1082 00:56:21,520 --> 00:56:25,040 Or you place enemies, then place events and obstacles, and then 1083 00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:29,080 place players in order of fastest to slowest in your zero 1084 00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:31,840 to 60. And at the start tiles can only 1085 00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:33,680 contain one player, 1 enemy and one event. 1086 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,920 But during play, tiles can hold up to a maximum of three 1087 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:40,920 occupants and one event and two obstacles. 1088 00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:43,960 So it can get pretty hectic. Very busy. 1089 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,640 Potential to be very busy. Very busy. 1090 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,920 So the road, there are roads, the rounds and turns. 1091 00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,360 So the road phase, destruction and turns and rounds, basically 1092 00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:53,560 every player gets to do a thing right? 1093 00:56:54,240 --> 00:56:56,440 Taking action on the road. On the road, drivers have two 1094 00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:58,280 actions. You can use actions to move, 1095 00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:01,000 collide, attack, performance, stunt, whatever you want to do. 1096 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:04,800 You get to an enemies act within a zero to 60 alongside the 1097 00:57:04,800 --> 00:57:07,280 drivers. Enemies of the same zero to 60 1098 00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:10,040 act in file order. There's a, there's a let's talk 1099 00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,880 about that in a second. And the torque AI, the road is 1100 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,080 powered by a simple AI that powers enemies, obstacles and 1101 00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:16,520 events. So it basically tells you like 1102 00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,440 in what order they'll go and like how they're going to react. 1103 00:57:18,440 --> 00:57:20,760 And we'll get to that. So round procedures basically 1104 00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:25,440 goes drivers and enemies go 1st and then it's they act from zero 1105 00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:29,800 to 60, lowest going first, highest going last Rd. flow, 1106 00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,720 which is the next. The next would be drivers and 1107 00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:34,600 enemies. All drivers and enemies that 1108 00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:38,720 didn't move shift backwards one on the tile and then you resolve 1109 00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:42,360 any collisions. And then Part 3, the road flow 1110 00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,000 is obstacles and events move. So all obstacles and events 1111 00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,360 shift backwards one time and you resolve any collisions. 1112 00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:51,320 So drivers and enemies all get to do a turn and then the road 1113 00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:54,560 kind of moves forward. And if you didn't, if you didn't 1114 00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,560 move, you go backwards on the road. 1115 00:57:57,600 --> 00:58:00,320 It's basically you're just like kind of like slowing down and 1116 00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:03,840 then everyone does that and if you hit anything, you resolve 1117 00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:05,360 it. And then after everyone does 1118 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:09,560 that, the obstacles and events do that too, and then you 1119 00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:11,840 resolve if that hits anything. It's so good. 1120 00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:14,640 Basically at the end of every round you just move move in the 1121 00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:16,480 road. The road is actively moving. 1122 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:18,440 It's, it's the illusion of the road being moved. 1123 00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,360 You know, I, I think it works really well. 1124 00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:27,160 I it is so. I love it and to me it is so 1125 00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:32,800 incredibly clever and I want to play it so bad. 1126 00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:36,800 Like it's so as soon as it was like, oh, like it's always 1127 00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:38,480 moving and you're just like flowing on it. 1128 00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:40,040 Like I was just like, this is so fucking cool. 1129 00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:45,600 So the road flow, there's a great there is a fantastic set 1130 00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:48,160 of images and graphics on the side that talks about the road 1131 00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:50,080 flow like it literally gives you. 1132 00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:54,880 But what the road layout is so like the drivers, the the 1133 00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:57,600 events, because there's little icons for each drivers are AD in 1134 00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:01,160 a circle, enemies are an E and like a A not pentagram, 1135 00:59:01,360 --> 00:59:05,760 whatever. And and then at the end of the 1136 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:10,520 road, it shows all of the things moving down and giving you the 1137 00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:12,160 flow. And it also talks about 1138 00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:14,680 obstacles in your tile, obstacles entering enemy tiles, 1139 00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:15,880 adventure in your tile, everything. 1140 00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:19,360 So it goes through all of that in a great graphic way that 1141 00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:20,840 makes it incredibly easy to understand. 1142 00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:25,840 So when obstacles into enter your tile on your turn, you pay 1143 00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:29,600 the price or take the penalty. When obstacles enter the enemy 1144 00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:33,200 file, enemies immediately take the penalty and the event enters 1145 00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:34,800 your tile. You immediately choose to engage 1146 00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,480 with the event and move it and yourself to rally or ignore the 1147 00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,320 event. And if an enemy enters your 1148 00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:41,000 tile, you both collide to the next section. 1149 00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:44,840 I think I had a question at one point about like what you're 1150 00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:49,840 paying and remind me to make sure we go over that because it 1151 00:59:49,840 --> 00:59:52,880 says pay the price but what are you paying? 1152 00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:58,040 You know what I mean? Yeah, we'll get there. 1153 00:59:58,040 --> 00:59:59,400 We'll. Get to that with the event. 1154 00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:00,760 Yeah. So here's the whole section on 1155 01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:04,680 collisions, right? So another fantastic, fantastic 1156 01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:07,600 graphic here about like every option of how you collide, 1157 01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:09,200 right? It's got a driver section that 1158 01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:14,000 looks like a like an old like, like the like mystery wagon or 1159 01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:15,800 Mystery Mobile. And then there's an enemy that 1160 01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:19,760 looks like a car. And then it's got driver with 1161 01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:24,160 more health and then it shows the the pre and post of a driver 1162 01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:29,360 with one crash and like, well, like 6 pips in it versus yeah 1163 01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:31,400 versus a car. And then there's one for a 1164 01:00:31,400 --> 01:00:34,440 driver with the same health, enemy with more health, empty 1165 01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:37,440 crash and exposed health. So those are things that matter, 1166 01:00:37,960 --> 01:00:42,800 as we said before, with with some other thing. 1167 01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,880 Let me hear that real quick. So if a driver has the same or 1168 01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:51,720 more health, enemy loses a set. So a set is the entire like pip 1169 01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:53,240 and bracket thing. That's a set. 1170 01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:57,520 It's a whole thing, right? Driver loses health equal to the 1171 01:00:57,560 --> 01:01:03,080 enemy's lost health, right. So the the whole enemy set gone. 1172 01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:07,480 And if they had two pips, you lose 2 pips, enemy has more 1173 01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,400 health. So driver loses a set and enemy 1174 01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:12,240 loses health equal to the driver's loss health. 1175 01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:14,720 And then you have an empty crash and expose health, which is 1176 01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:16,880 interesting. So on an empty crash, that means 1177 01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:18,600 all the pips in your crash are gone. 1178 01:01:19,480 --> 01:01:21,600 An empty crash is when there isn't any health in the set. 1179 01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,320 Damage wipes out the crash before inflicting damage is 1180 01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:25,960 normal. And if you look at the graphic 1181 01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:28,000 what it's saying and it's I have to go back and read it and make 1182 01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:31,040 sure it's basically saying if you have an empty crash and you 1183 01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:34,360 get collided, that crash doesn't does no buffer. 1184 01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:37,760 It does nothing for you. So that sucks to have like an 1185 01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:40,600 empty crash. You basically lose an HP for no 1186 01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:44,600 fucking for like for nothing. So you having more health in the 1187 01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:49,640 early rounds is smart because if you lose 1 pimp off of that and 1188 01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:52,000 then you get collided and you lose a crash too for nothing. 1189 01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,000 So having two health in the early ones is great. 1190 01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:55,920 And then there's also exposed health. 1191 01:01:56,200 --> 01:01:59,000 This is when there's no crashes in the set and damage wipes out 1192 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:00,640 the health before inflicting damage is normal. 1193 01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,920 So basically if you have a crash with no health or health or 1194 01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:07,120 health with no crashes and get collided into, they just get 1195 01:02:07,120 --> 01:02:10,200 deleted and you still take the full damage otherwise, which 1196 01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:12,160 damn that suck. Don't get collided into. 1197 01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:17,920 Yeah, that does suck. Moving, So this is the nitty 1198 01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:20,160 gritty parts of stuff. So basically you can move into 1199 01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,960 an empty tile. If you can move into a tie with 1200 01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:26,440 drivers or enemies, you decide whether you're going to get 1201 01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,160 whether you're going to collide or not because you can be in the 1202 01:02:29,160 --> 01:02:30,680 same tile as enemies and not collide to them. 1203 01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:33,440 You you can you can choose not to or not. 1204 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:36,480 So there's tie with multiple occupants, tiles with obstacles, 1205 01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:39,920 tiles with the vents, tie with a mix of contents and heavy in 1206 01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:41,800 traffic. There's different things that 1207 01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:43,720 happen when you do that. So moving into tile with an 1208 01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:45,560 obstacle, you pay the price or take the penalty. 1209 01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,440 But if the, if the obstacle moves into you, like that's a 1210 01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:51,440 whole different situation and again, pay the price or take the 1211 01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:53,160 penalty. Remind me to figure out what the 1212 01:02:53,160 --> 01:02:58,560 price is. And then getting into healing. 1213 01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:00,120 So in torque, there are two ways to heal. 1214 01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:02,880 So you you can rally. So at anytime you want, you can 1215 01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:06,640 spin an action and basically go all the way off the bottom of 1216 01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:10,640 the grid and you rally there. So you spend 1 action. 1217 01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:12,840 So it takes an action to get down there, and then you can 1218 01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:15,840 spend an action to regain 2 HP in crashes or health. 1219 01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:18,760 And then you can spend as many turns as you want in the rally. 1220 01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:20,440 You can spend as many turns down there as you want. 1221 01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:23,560 When rallying, you can't act, you can't do anything else, you 1222 01:03:23,560 --> 01:03:25,120 can't help push drivers, you can't do anything. 1223 01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:27,280 But you can chill down there as long as you want and get fully 1224 01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:29,800 healed. And to end the road phase, all 1225 01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:32,640 drivers can just go to the rally and you can just be done with it 1226 01:03:34,080 --> 01:03:37,640 or you can push it so when you run out of crashes you can push 1227 01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:39,320 it. To push it, ask your fellow 1228 01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:41,240 players to donate one of their actions. 1229 01:03:41,480 --> 01:03:43,840 If they don't have any actions, they can donate an action from 1230 01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:46,200 their next turn. For. 1231 01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:50,280 Every action a player gives you, you regain a lost set, a full 1232 01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:54,000 set crash and health right? Players can bargain and strike 1233 01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,240 deals here. You can only push it once per 1234 01:03:56,240 --> 01:04:00,560 Rd. phase though, so if you run out of crashes after you've 1235 01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:03,440 pushed it, your car is totaled. So that's really the only way 1236 01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:05,000 you can fucking the car that bad. 1237 01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,480 Because otherwise you really can just like drop down in a rally 1238 01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:09,160 right? Because there's a section here 1239 01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:13,200 for out of health and crashes when reduced to to both enemies 1240 01:04:13,200 --> 01:04:15,000 and drivers can't move. They just coast down. 1241 01:04:15,000 --> 01:04:17,280 Basically at the end of every flow they just move down 1 so 1242 01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:22,320 they hit the rally and when drivers each rally they may 1243 01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:24,600 spend actions on future turns to regain HP. 1244 01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,720 So like if you get knocked out of everything you just coast 1245 01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:30,120 into you can rally, rally and then come back. 1246 01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:32,200 So it's only when you push it can you really get total and be 1247 01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,760 gone play. This game, this is such AII 1248 01:04:36,080 --> 01:04:38,720 cannot tell you how much I enjoy the rules to this game. 1249 01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,680 It's such a clever way to use the grid and the grid's like 1250 01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:45,040 fairly limited. It's three by three, so it's 1251 01:04:45,080 --> 01:04:48,360 it's 9 spaces right? And so it feels like maybe it's 1252 01:04:48,360 --> 01:04:50,600 potentially cramped, but there's so much going on. 1253 01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,680 There's room for so many things within each square that it's 1254 01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:55,960 actually like a ton of space to move around in. 1255 01:04:56,600 --> 01:05:01,040 And it creates this like incredibly like, I don't want to 1256 01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:03,480 say strategically dense because that makes it sound like there 1257 01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:05,600 it's like confusing, but it's not. 1258 01:05:05,600 --> 01:05:09,000 It's very simple but still strategically dense potential 1259 01:05:09,120 --> 01:05:10,720 for what you can do on your turns. 1260 01:05:11,040 --> 01:05:13,920 Oh, Oh my gosh, when we, when we get into like the lures and 1261 01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:16,320 stuff like that, what you can do because like the thing that 1262 01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,360 like, like I, I, it is super clever. 1263 01:05:18,360 --> 01:05:20,400 But then I was like, wait a minute, you can push people into 1264 01:05:20,400 --> 01:05:22,240 other stuff and that they've already taken their action. 1265 01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:25,040 When the road flows, you can, you can make you don't have to 1266 01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:26,800 do stuff. You can drop obstacles into 1267 01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:27,880 them. You can make people collide with 1268 01:05:27,880 --> 01:05:28,520 them. You can do this. 1269 01:05:28,520 --> 01:05:32,000 Yes, it is, it is, it is in my. I think this is one of those 1270 01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,320 games where like you can play it like straightforward and just be 1271 01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:37,280 like, I hit a guy, I hit a guy. But the every time you do a road 1272 01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:38,840 phase, you're going to get a little bit better and a little 1273 01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:40,600 bit better, a little bit more strategic and a little bit more 1274 01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:41,760 strategic. Eventually you're going to be 1275 01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:43,680 like, why'd you do that thing? It's going to be like fucking 1276 01:05:43,680 --> 01:05:45,000 chess. Like you're going to be like, 1277 01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:47,360 oh, because if I like this guy to here, he'll bump into that 1278 01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:49,680 and then apps go hit this guy over here and then I can lure 1279 01:05:49,680 --> 01:05:52,040 the guy over by one this way. Like it's definitely one that 1280 01:05:52,040 --> 01:05:54,160 like, yeah, there's levels to this shit. 1281 01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:56,280 And it's it's you're right. It's so clever to. 1282 01:05:56,480 --> 01:05:59,080 This shit dog. So good and it's so well 1283 01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:00,840 explained and the graphics are so fantastic. 1284 01:06:00,840 --> 01:06:04,040 Like this is how to lay out a game so people understand it. 1285 01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:07,200 This is an instruction manual for how to play a game so people 1286 01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:12,440 know how to play it. Like as a T RPG instruction all 1287 01:06:12,440 --> 01:06:16,600 fucking should be anyway. So totaled. 1288 01:06:16,840 --> 01:06:18,800 If you ring 0 crashes, zero health and you've already pushed 1289 01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:19,720 it your total. That's it. 1290 01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,960 So roll a six out of dice for your vehicle and a six out of 1291 01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:26,000 dice for your driver. There's three options for each 1292 01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:28,560 year. And then when you do four to six 1293 01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:30,360 on either you re roll or create an entry. 1294 01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:33,400 There's a thing later in the campaign mode where it tells you 1295 01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:36,400 to like go create an entry for bonus stuff, but some of the 1296 01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:37,880 total stuff is is kind of fucked. 1297 01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:41,360 So #3 on your right is like fucked up left behind like your 1298 01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,720 your rides gone a. Mechanic spends the rest of 1299 01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:48,000 their life fixing it. Yeah, the number one for 1300 01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:49,760 yourself is like you're you're really dead. 1301 01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:51,520 You're dead. You're dead. 1302 01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:53,760 It just says. It just says really dead. 1303 01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:56,160 Yeah, not dead like, oh, you get to come back. 1304 01:06:56,160 --> 01:06:59,080 Like no, you're really dead. Like you're you're done though. 1305 01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,720 And then number number #3 is you're done driving. 1306 01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:03,880 You never throw good money after you're out of the game, you're 1307 01:07:03,880 --> 01:07:05,520 done. So like if you towed her your 1308 01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:09,640 car, that sucks. So pushing it is extremely 1309 01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:10,640 risky. Yeah. 1310 01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:15,080 Yeah. OK, so some of the actions and 1311 01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,440 stuff you can take stunts. There's basic stunts, shifting 1312 01:07:18,440 --> 01:07:20,240 stunts, effect stunts, interference stunts, weird 1313 01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:23,480 stunts, like all that kind of stuff. 1314 01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:26,120 So basic stunts are like collide damage here. 1315 01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:27,600 Rebuild. One of the things that I really 1316 01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:29,600 like, and they say it in here too, is the stunts and attacks 1317 01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,360 are expressed mechanically. This is to give you the 1318 01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:35,040 opportunity to flavor their stunts however you want. 1319 01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:36,280 I really like that that's in there. 1320 01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:39,600 It's definitely one of those things where like it's helpful 1321 01:07:39,600 --> 01:07:42,440 for anybody, but to be able to explain to be like collide is 1322 01:07:42,440 --> 01:07:44,320 trigger collision. But like there's a million ways 1323 01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:45,920 you can actually make that happen in the game. 1324 01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:49,400 But basic stunts collide, damage, heal and rebuild. 1325 01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:51,600 It's exactly what they do. You collide into someone, you 1326 01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:55,080 deal damage, you do that shifting stunts, drag, launch, 1327 01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,600 pull, push swap. It's exactly what it sounds like 1328 01:07:57,600 --> 01:07:58,760 it does. We don't really need to dig into 1329 01:07:58,760 --> 01:07:59,760 it. You drag someone, you launch 1330 01:07:59,760 --> 01:08:03,280 when you pull someone. Effect stunts cloak is really 1331 01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:04,720 cool. You cannot be targeted. 1332 01:08:04,960 --> 01:08:08,240 Lock means you lock someone in their tile which means it can't 1333 01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:11,080 move which is a dope one to be like that means obstacle to hit 1334 01:08:11,080 --> 01:08:12,480 them next time so. Come into them next. 1335 01:08:12,480 --> 01:08:13,720 Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Yeah. 1336 01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:16,560 The effect in a fear, it's done to really, really fuck yeah. 1337 01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:19,040 Lure pulls you towards somebody. Slag. 1338 01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:20,520 We talked about one of the effects at a slag. 1339 01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,680 So target takes double damage from every source until the end 1340 01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:25,240 of their next turn. So I remember one of the ones 1341 01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:28,279 was like slag a whole tile so everything in the tile takes 1342 01:08:28,279 --> 01:08:31,960 double damage slow. They can't take a move action 1343 01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:35,279 which again would make them like drop backwards when the flow 1344 01:08:35,279 --> 01:08:37,000 happens. So great one. 1345 01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:40,920 Of them like, Oh no, it was drag a call, never mind. 1346 01:08:41,800 --> 01:08:43,840 Yeah, I was thinking a slag, a column and I'm like that's 1347 01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:44,920 crazy. But yeah, yeah. 1348 01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:45,720 Yeah. Oh yeah. 1349 01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:46,520 Drag a column. Yeah. 1350 01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:50,080 Interference Stunts Ignore, which means you just ignore 1351 01:08:50,080 --> 01:08:52,200 shit. Place a mind, place an obstacle, 1352 01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:56,319 reduce, which means target subtracts incoming damage by a 1353 01:08:56,319 --> 01:08:59,520 set or send move target to a specified location. 1354 01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:03,120 And then weird stunts corrode, donate, double down and steal. 1355 01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:05,319 Exactly what they sound like. They're cool. 1356 01:09:05,319 --> 01:09:07,359 They're great crashing into walls. 1357 01:09:07,359 --> 01:09:09,200 If a road action pushes the target into the wall of the 1358 01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:12,240 boundary on the left to right, it's called a wall crash. 1359 01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:16,760 Wall crashes apply slow, meaning they cannot do around I I love 1360 01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:18,840 that the wall crash is just like bouncing and slows you down. 1361 01:09:18,840 --> 01:09:20,760 It's not you don't take damage, you don't do anything. 1362 01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:23,160 Like I really, for some reason, I don't know, that really gets 1363 01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:26,200 me to be like, that's a nice way to I don't know why indoor 1364 01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:30,120 soccer bopped into my head, but I imagine like because people 1365 01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,840 like it's a thing you can't do in outdoor soccer where you can 1366 01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,240 like be going to go to somebody and like kick the ball off the 1367 01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:37,840 wall around them and shit, you know, So when I thought of this, 1368 01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:39,560 I'm like, man, you could totally just like bounce someone off the 1369 01:09:39,560 --> 01:09:41,840 wall and have them go down at an angle and hit an obstacle and 1370 01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:43,319 like, I don't know, use the whole thing. 1371 01:09:43,319 --> 01:09:45,720 A level of tactical tactics that are interesting. 1372 01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:47,080 So we. Can hack this into an indoor 1373 01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:52,080 soccer game, you know. We could, I'm just saying dude, 1374 01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:56,720 I don't. I love these raised like things 1375 01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:58,360 on the back of the car. They had it on the back of the 1376 01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:00,280 picture with the Volkswagen back, but there's another 1377 01:10:00,280 --> 01:10:03,560 picture here that has like the back window with these like like 1378 01:10:03,640 --> 01:10:06,040 kind of like bladed armor looking things coming off the 1379 01:10:06,040 --> 01:10:07,760 back. They're so fucking cool. 1380 01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:10,120 I wish more cars had this stuff like everything. 1381 01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:13,160 Everything nowadays is so like everything is just a white SUV, 1382 01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:14,680 right? And they all look exactly the 1383 01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:16,160 same. I wish cars that were like 1384 01:10:16,440 --> 01:10:19,640 boxier and had more more So I love the old boxy BMWs. 1385 01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:23,480 I love the old boxy Volkswagens like more personality. 1386 01:10:23,480 --> 01:10:26,800 So attack, basically attacks have access, all players have 1387 01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:28,360 access to attacks are personalized methods. 1388 01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:31,960 But the basic stuff you do is you can inflict one crash damage 1389 01:10:31,960 --> 01:10:34,520 to a target in your file, in your tile, you can inflict 2 1390 01:10:34,520 --> 01:10:37,320 health damage, or you can inflict one health damage to a 1391 01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:40,400 target in any file. Because for a while I was like 1392 01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:41,400 what? What's the difference between 1393 01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:43,520 health and crash and this and. That file. 1394 01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:47,920 Oh, I meant tile. Sorry, Yeah, but so those are 1395 01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,240 the options. One crash damage, two health 1396 01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:54,520 damage, or one health damage to any tile, which I imagine just 1397 01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:56,200 like just chucking your batteries out the window at 1398 01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:57,880 them, you know? Yeah, you have me throwing those 1399 01:10:57,880 --> 01:10:59,800 unread books, you know. Yep. 1400 01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,160 Enemies, obstacles and events where like how do I do this 1401 01:11:03,160 --> 01:11:04,240 book? We'll go a little faster. 1402 01:11:04,240 --> 01:11:07,160 So they happen right. The interesting thing about 1403 01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:11,880 these is that you give the management of these things to 1404 01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:15,040 players instead of having AGM, you pick one person to manage 1405 01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:17,920 the events, one person to manage the obstacles and one person to 1406 01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:21,280 manage the enemies if you want, and you can portray them their 1407 01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:24,600 actions, their behaviors, describe how they act and 1408 01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:26,760 everyone can share these responsibilities, which I think 1409 01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:28,440 is a really, really cool way of doing it. 1410 01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:33,160 It also makes so that like not like if you had AGM, that's a 1411 01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:36,280 lot to kind of keep track of. And if you don't have AGM, 1412 01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:38,480 that's even more for every single person to individually 1413 01:11:38,480 --> 01:11:40,880 keep track of it all the time. So it's really nice to just be 1414 01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:42,560 like, these are the three things that can happen. 1415 01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:45,640 You pass those out to people and you just make sure you know all 1416 01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:48,040 about the events and we'll worry about everything else and you 1417 01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:50,040 can just ask each other questions for how it works. 1418 01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:54,360 I love that cohesiveness and it also creates like all timing. 1419 01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:55,280 That's the other thing about this. 1420 01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:58,320 It's like you have to be engaged at all times because at any time 1421 01:11:58,320 --> 01:12:00,520 you can get hit, you can get bounced, you get wall crashed, 1422 01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:02,240 and then this adds another level to it's like. 1423 01:12:02,240 --> 01:12:04,560 Driving, You have to stay engaged, you know. 1424 01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:07,440 Yeah, but every single one of us kind of does that thing where it 1425 01:12:07,440 --> 01:12:09,760 is like, oh shit, how did I get home for the last 20 minutes, 1426 01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:13,560 you know? And don't say that you don't. 1427 01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:20,440 Yeah, Yeah, you just go to. Driving to my my 4:30 AM job, 1428 01:12:20,440 --> 01:12:22,480 I've never like wait, oh shit, I'm already here. 1429 01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:27,720 So human psyche is, is crazy man, to just be able to like 1430 01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:31,240 just tune out and and go. So encounter ticket is cool. 1431 01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:33,000 So on the road encounters are handled through an encounter 1432 01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:34,320 ticket. Basically you have this thing 1433 01:12:34,320 --> 01:12:36,600 and there's a picture over here. It gives you situations, 1434 01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:38,120 obstacles and enemies. This is the part where I think 1435 01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:40,440 that they there might have been an issue with the writing. 1436 01:12:40,440 --> 01:12:43,440 It says this tool lets us quickly visualize and note the 1437 01:12:43,480 --> 01:12:53,700 actions, enemies and actions. It's actions on the road. 1438 01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:58,000 Yeah, what's the no, The actions, enemies and actions on 1439 01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,440 the road. But maybe that's not wrong. 1440 01:13:00,440 --> 01:13:02,120 Maybe I'm not reading it, but I would have thought it would say 1441 01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:04,640 situation, obstacles and enemies, because that's what the 1442 01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:06,520 road ticket actually shows, the situation, obstacles and 1443 01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:08,040 enemies. I could be wrong, maybe I'm just 1444 01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:12,200 reading it weird. But anyway, so encounter tickets 1445 01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:14,840 are all printouts that you can just write on and they're great 1446 01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:16,880 and you just write this stuff down and there's tracking, 1447 01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:19,280 there's notes on the side. It's so nice to have just like a 1448 01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:22,040 literally just like a little ticket that you can write up and 1449 01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:24,440 there's an example later. So enemies, obstacles and 1450 01:13:24,440 --> 01:13:26,120 events. It talks about how the enemies 1451 01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:28,880 work here. So the enemy AI basically top 1452 01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:31,480 left to bottom right, top column to bottom column. 1453 01:13:31,480 --> 01:13:34,680 So 123456789 exactly. How it sounds, really. 1454 01:13:34,840 --> 01:13:35,800 Really. Yeah. 1455 01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:37,960 Couldn't be worth yeah. Easy. 1456 01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:41,000 And then it talks about you go in zero to 60 order, it talks 1457 01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,560 about targeting. It gives you the specific way 1458 01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:46,320 the enemies target which is closest driver, slowest driver 1459 01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:48,880 and then lowest current HP driver in that order which is 1460 01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:51,960 great. So it basically says and then 1461 01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:53,440 and in a bowl it explains it again. 1462 01:13:53,480 --> 01:13:55,880 Enemies go for a near slow and weak in that order. 1463 01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:59,280 I love, I love the way that's explained an enemy movement. 1464 01:14:00,040 --> 01:14:02,520 Enemies can only move to one adjacent or diagonal tile at a 1465 01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:05,400 time. Enemy HP like driver HP is read 1466 01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:06,600 from left to right with zero to 60. 1467 01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:08,920 When an enemy is reduced TO0HP, remove it from the grid. 1468 01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:13,480 The only issue I have is enemies OF0HP they just die. 1469 01:14:13,480 --> 01:14:16,960 Enemies in rally, whatever. So it gives you big dozer here 1470 01:14:17,080 --> 01:14:18,840 right? Which is dope as fuck. 1471 01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:20,240 It's a giant Mitsubishi van right? 1472 01:14:20,240 --> 01:14:22,920 And then it gives you name, horsepower, description, number 1473 01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:25,960 of actions taking per turn, actions like listed out on the 1474 01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:28,440 what the the enemy stab lock is. Love the way it's laid out. 1475 01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:32,000 But how much health does that have in crashes and and pips? 1476 01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:36,040 It's got three crashes and seven health. 1477 01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:40,480 Add that up. Oh, yeah, that's that's more 1478 01:14:40,480 --> 01:14:43,120 than yeah. The 0 sixty is 11, right? 1479 01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:46,720 Yeah. So that means the zero to 60. 1480 01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:50,920 So for drivers, the 0 sixty is your total HP. 1481 01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:53,680 Right. We get an example of a bad guy 1482 01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:56,840 here, right? That has all together 10. 1483 01:14:57,600 --> 01:15:01,840 But has 11. 11, yeah. And it's not until much later 1484 01:15:01,840 --> 01:15:04,840 when you get to, like the quote UN quote bestiary, that it tells 1485 01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:10,040 you that enemies zero to 60 does not equal their HP. 1486 01:15:11,360 --> 01:15:14,120 So it would be nice. Yeah. 1487 01:15:14,320 --> 01:15:17,640 It would be nice if that was explained here because I was so 1488 01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:20,240 confused for a while. And then I went back and read 1489 01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:24,000 the a bunch of stuff to be like, wait a minute, that's 10. 1490 01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:25,600 Is my math terrible? Let me count this a bunch of 1491 01:15:25,600 --> 01:15:26,760 times. Yeah, it would. 1492 01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:29,400 It would not be a bad idea on this page specifically to have a 1493 01:15:29,400 --> 01:15:31,840 little blurb that says enemy HP is different. 1494 01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:33,480 CBCR or something. CBCR. 1495 01:15:33,480 --> 01:15:34,320 Yeah. Yeah. 1496 01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:37,480 So representing the road, we're going to start skipping some of 1497 01:15:37,480 --> 01:15:40,280 this stuff. So obstacles are things that are 1498 01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:44,240 in your way. When an obstacle inches your 1499 01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:46,120 tile on your next turn, you may pay the price. 1500 01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:48,120 OK, so here we go. Let's let's look at how to pay 1501 01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:50,400 the price. Read this with me and let's see 1502 01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:53,240 if we can figure out price here. Obstacles are things way. 1503 01:15:53,840 --> 01:15:57,080 Suspending the dice, right? But what's the dice for? 1504 01:15:57,600 --> 01:15:58,760 Yeah, OK. That's very fair. 1505 01:15:58,760 --> 01:16:01,120 Keep going. Like I nowhere in the rest stop 1506 01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:02,840 does it talk about what you spend dice on. 1507 01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:05,600 What dice? There's no dice in the game. 1508 01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:08,120 You've already rolled the dice to make your character. 1509 01:16:08,440 --> 01:16:10,040 After you make your character, there's no dice. 1510 01:16:10,360 --> 01:16:11,800 That's The thing is, I don't understand. 1511 01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:14,360 I don't know where the dice is. Something usually when we talk 1512 01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:16,600 about these things, I get to, I know them better than when I 1513 01:16:16,600 --> 01:16:18,720 read them on my own, you know, obviously. 1514 01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:21,400 I couldn't, but I couldn't figure out where it was. 1515 01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:23,720 So, so, so to get to the point about the dice thing, right, So 1516 01:16:23,720 --> 01:16:29,400 it says there's a name, a price, a penalty if an enemy shares a 1517 01:16:29,400 --> 01:16:31,520 space, blah, blah, blah. When an obstacle enters your 1518 01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:32,800 tile, you're on your next journey. 1519 01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:34,240 You must pay the price or take the penalty. 1520 01:16:34,800 --> 01:16:36,920 Whenever you enter a tile with an obstacle, you must 1521 01:16:36,920 --> 01:16:38,560 immediately pay the price and penalty. 1522 01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:41,080 So if you choose to go in, wait a minute. 1523 01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:43,560 If the obstacle comes into you, you don't have to. 1524 01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:45,360 But if you go into the obstacle, you have to, right? 1525 01:16:45,360 --> 01:16:47,520 You have to pay. Obstacles flow with the road, 1526 01:16:47,520 --> 01:16:49,040 blah blah blah. Obstacles are noted with the 1527 01:16:49,040 --> 01:16:53,520 tile of the obstacle and then the price in dice and the 1528 01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:56,920 penalty in parentheses. For example, tight fit is ( 1 1529 01:16:56,920 --> 01:17:01,240 dash, one pip, right? With the pip representing health 1530 01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:08,360 damage. OK, so I assume the price in 1531 01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:10,600 dice and the penalty in parentheses. 1532 01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:16,560 SO1 dice one pip. I don't this is part. 1533 01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:19,200 The penalty is one health damage, right? 1534 01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:21,880 Yes. But what is the price in dice 1535 01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:28,880 mean? It says so in tight fit. 1536 01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:31,680 If you go to the next. It says if a driver is in a tile 1537 01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:35,360 with this obstacle under tight fit, they must spend 1 dice to 1538 01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:37,160 avoid taking the penalty of one health. 1539 01:17:37,640 --> 01:17:40,120 What dice are you spending? Did we miss something about a 1540 01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:42,000 dice pool? I don't because I've read the 1541 01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:45,680 book twice now and I don't. I don't control like a like a 1542 01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:48,000 like a, like a control F dice thing to see if we miss 1543 01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:51,920 something about a dice pool. I'll keep it going while you 1544 01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:54,360 look so tight fit and debris are options. 1545 01:17:54,360 --> 01:17:55,880 So tight fit is exactly what we just said. 1546 01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:59,240 And I love, I love the, the abstraction of that of being 1547 01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:01,880 like, oh, this is a tight fit. Like the road has like a 1548 01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:03,320 narrowing like, you know what I mean? 1549 01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:05,920 Like it, it comes in on you and then debris. 1550 01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:08,480 If a driver shares a tie with this obstacle, they must spend 1 1551 01:18:08,480 --> 01:18:11,160 dice to avoid taking the penalty of one crash. 1552 01:18:11,160 --> 01:18:12,400 Because you bounce off debris, right? 1553 01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:15,280 Then there's mines, which are similar obstacles. 1554 01:18:15,480 --> 01:18:17,760 They can be placed on the board, they move with the flow of play, 1555 01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:20,040 they can be activated whenever the owner wants, etcetera, 1556 01:18:20,040 --> 01:18:21,280 etcetera. Read that Marshall one. 1557 01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:26,440 And then events, there are unique Rd. moments that can 1558 01:18:26,440 --> 01:18:29,680 happen, you can backtrack to get them if you want there that you 1559 01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:32,000 can go to get them. There are rewards and stuff. 1560 01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:34,680 So an example event here is called Mountain Memory. 1561 01:18:35,320 --> 01:18:38,640 And then it gives you a trigger or reward and then additional 1562 01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:40,120 stuff for it. So the trigger is on the second 1563 01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:41,920 round and every other round after that. 1564 01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:44,760 Place this event on a random tile with an obstacle in it. 1565 01:18:44,840 --> 01:18:47,520 Right? Reward is tell them about your 1566 01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:49,480 name and record yourself in its memory. 1567 01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:52,720 Do not go to rally. Move every obstacle to a random 1568 01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:54,240 tile. That's awesome. 1569 01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:57,520 And then it says if you want to pay one health, you get to do 1570 01:18:57,520 --> 01:19:01,040 the same but go to rally also. And then you embed a piece of 1571 01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:04,120 the path within your chassis. So there's like narrative and 1572 01:19:04,120 --> 01:19:05,760 mechanical to it, which I really, really love. 1573 01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:08,320 And the whole reward about like tell your tell the mountain your 1574 01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:12,400 name thing is fucking amazing. Pay one crash is above, but 1575 01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:15,800 shuffle the obstacles, memorize the name of one who has passed 1576 01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:16,720 before. Great. 1577 01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:20,680 And then or you can pay one set and then as above and you don't 1578 01:19:20,680 --> 01:19:22,720 shovel the obstacles, but you lock the obstacles. 1579 01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:24,200 So there's different stuff you can do with the event. 1580 01:19:24,200 --> 01:19:26,800 So really, really cool, really great narrative mechanical flow 1581 01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:28,480 to it, which is really fucking awesome. 1582 01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:33,800 Any anything on dice before we move on? 1583 01:19:34,480 --> 01:19:36,680 Yeah, there's some, I mean we're about to get the milestones. 1584 01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:38,960 So go through milestones because there's there's talk about 1585 01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:44,160 spending dice on milestones I think is the next thing I could 1586 01:19:44,160 --> 01:19:46,240 find. OK, All right. 1587 01:19:46,240 --> 01:19:50,120 So milestones are ways for drivers and torque to measure 1588 01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:51,720 themselves. Milestones are personal. 1589 01:19:53,440 --> 01:19:55,680 Torque is filled with milestone driven, player versus player and 1590 01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:56,920 other stuff. So milestones come in three 1591 01:19:56,920 --> 01:20:00,560 types, small, big and group. The small milestone is something 1592 01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:03,400 that takes place one or two Rd. phases to complete. 1593 01:20:03,960 --> 01:20:04,680 That's. What it is? 1594 01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:06,120 I was right. It's here. 1595 01:20:06,840 --> 01:20:09,160 The group milestone is something that group of drivers are 1596 01:20:09,160 --> 01:20:11,160 working towards and might take several sessions. 1597 01:20:11,160 --> 01:20:12,720 A group milestone can't be randomly generated. 1598 01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:16,200 For a milestone generator and how to trade milestones to 1599 01:20:16,200 --> 01:20:19,920 upgrade, see page 65. And the most random thing is 1600 01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:26,320 that page 65 is hyperlinked of all the pages. 1601 01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:30,280 Like the index isn't hyperlinked like a bunch of. 1602 01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:34,000 Like the other stuff isn't hyperlinked but this one thing 1603 01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:35,400 randomly is. Does that mean like a bunch of 1604 01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:37,000 maybe a bunch of the rest is broken? 1605 01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:39,280 I don't know. Maybe so is there other other 1606 01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:41,720 inline page references that I there's? 1607 01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:45,440 One that had like a something to a link to 23 that didn't work so 1608 01:20:45,440 --> 01:20:46,840 I don't. Know maybe it might just be 1609 01:20:46,840 --> 01:20:48,640 broken. Maybe a bunch of them are 1610 01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:50,800 broken, but you'll. This is where you get your 1611 01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:52,640 spendable dice. It's in a big mouse. 1612 01:20:54,200 --> 01:20:55,880 OK, all right, so let's, let's see where we go. 1613 01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:58,640 So small, get your hands on a tape deck. 1614 01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:01,160 It's time for paint job, blah, blah, big spend 3 dice on 1615 01:21:01,160 --> 01:21:03,240 avoiding damage from obstacles. So again, let's talk about 1616 01:21:03,240 --> 01:21:05,400 spending dice, right? Destroy 4 enemies. 1617 01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:07,560 Yeah. Drag another vehicle, rally and 1618 01:21:07,560 --> 01:21:10,040 then group cross the Odessa Rd. collect the refrigeration 1619 01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:11,640 materials. So basically it's, it's it's 1620 01:21:11,640 --> 01:21:14,400 levels of milestones. But So what the milestones allow 1621 01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:16,800 you to do is upgrade your stuff, right? 1622 01:21:16,800 --> 01:21:17,680 And we'll get to that in a second. 1623 01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:20,680 I think a group milestone. So in the road, the road phase 1624 01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:22,320 is complete. When the objective is met, all 1625 01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:24,160 drivers go to rally. When the road ends, play 1626 01:21:24,160 --> 01:21:27,000 transitions to the rest stop, describe the events, etcetera, 1627 01:21:27,000 --> 01:21:29,840 etcetera. It said this can be via ACV 1628 01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:32,320 radio, but it's ACB radio. Unless it's not what I'm 1629 01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:34,920 thinking about, but like the actual like the thing that that 1630 01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:37,800 that people talk to, it's it's like community band. 1631 01:21:37,800 --> 01:21:39,440 I think it was what CB stands for. 1632 01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:43,400 But they talk about CV in here, V as in Victor, and I think it's 1633 01:21:43,400 --> 01:21:46,200 supposed to be CB as in Boy in Bravo. 1634 01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:52,480 I do love this, this page here with like the Mustang with like 1635 01:21:52,480 --> 01:21:54,400 the setting sun behind it and stuff like that. 1636 01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:59,720 But again, so there's a whole big thing here about like 1637 01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:02,720 spending dice and in the milestones there's spending dice 1638 01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:05,640 and stuff like that. But maybe we'll get to dice, not 1639 01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:08,320 sure. So there's a sample encounter 1640 01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:11,120 ticket here, which is fantastic. I love that it's here. 1641 01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:14,120 It's interesting that they put the sample ticket here at the 1642 01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:17,680 end instead of higher. I like that because you 1643 01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:19,760 understand how enemies and obstacles events work. 1644 01:22:20,720 --> 01:22:22,960 So you get the the that you have a ticket in the front. 1645 01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:24,320 You get the explanation of all that. 1646 01:22:24,320 --> 01:22:25,960 And then you get an example ticket in the back, which is 1647 01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:28,640 great. It's called jail broken is a 1648 01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:31,280 situation. So read that. 1649 01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:33,680 It's really cool. And that's, that's the whole 1650 01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:35,400 spread there some tracking events on the side. 1651 01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:44,320 And then, and then there's a great spread here of a dark like 1652 01:22:44,320 --> 01:22:48,600 mountain with like a road going across it and in the background 1653 01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:51,320 on like a dark green on black. It literally says don't sleep on 1654 01:22:51,320 --> 01:22:53,040 the road, don't sleep on the road, don't sleep on the road, 1655 01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:56,160 like don't sleep on the road, like do not sleep on the road. 1656 01:22:56,160 --> 01:22:59,360 Like filling the entire sky. This is such an amazing spread. 1657 01:23:00,440 --> 01:23:05,400 And it, it looks like, almost like headlights like lit up like 1658 01:23:05,440 --> 01:23:08,000 out into the thing. So it says drivers don't let 1659 01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:09,960 other drivers sleep under the blank sky. 1660 01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:13,760 Take necessary precautions and then there's trips should take 1661 01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:15,880 36 hours or fewer to stop at the earliest convenience. 1662 01:23:15,880 --> 01:23:18,400 Everything like that. I mean all you have to do to go 1663 01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:21,080 to rest stop is go to rally. So like this would be a 1664 01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:24,000 narrative choice to choose to stop on the road which I love 1665 01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:25,560 that it it gives you that kind of option. 1666 01:23:25,560 --> 01:23:28,840 Yeah, but and there's rules here says the sleep is unavoidable. 1667 01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:31,280 Leave vehicle in neutral. Remove keys from ignition. 1668 01:23:31,280 --> 01:23:34,200 Record your mental state. Rough location any man landmarks 1669 01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:37,800 in omen parked vehicles. So the front is north northwest 1670 01:23:37,800 --> 01:23:39,640 and the front wheels are angled northwest. 1671 01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,800 Sleep in pairs. If unavoidable, sleep in threes. 1672 01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:46,160 Stay within shouting distance like they're really it's really 1673 01:23:46,160 --> 01:23:47,800 cool because again, this has to be a narrative choice. 1674 01:23:47,800 --> 01:23:49,680 You don't you're never going to get to you have to do that. 1675 01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:53,360 And I love that. It's like don't do this. 1676 01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:56,960 And like here's like how to you know, it's very viby. 1677 01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:02,440 It's incredibly viby. Another great piece of art to go 1678 01:24:02,440 --> 01:24:05,240 to the rest stop is this person like using the car as a 1679 01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:09,760 generator to like watch TV and stuff and like recharge things 1680 01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:11,120 while they're sipping on something. 1681 01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:15,040 So it's really great and we have the entire rest stop section. 1682 01:24:15,680 --> 01:24:19,600 So at the end of every Rd. is a rest stop. 1683 01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:22,640 A rest stop is inhabited by NPCS and things like that. 1684 01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:23,520 And there's a whole section here. 1685 01:24:23,520 --> 01:24:27,000 We're gonna, we're talk of that and it's populated with the 1686 01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,800 options available. It's very open world and this is 1687 01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:32,640 where a lot of the RP, like really deep RP comes in. 1688 01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:36,320 So there's a procedure here. There's roll up, park, R&R and 1689 01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:38,640 roll out. So roll up means you take a look 1690 01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:41,560 at the rest stop, you clock it's vibe and discover it's bargain. 1691 01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:47,120 Park means each player rolls 2D6 and places them on the rest 1692 01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:48,400 stops to represent a point of interest. 1693 01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:50,120 I love that. Basically like rolling the dice 1694 01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:54,240 and the dice are the things R&R prior trade partaking 1695 01:24:54,240 --> 01:24:56,000 activities. Do the thing like you had snap, 1696 01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:57,560 right? So go take pictures and, and do 1697 01:24:57,560 --> 01:25:00,760 all that kind of stuff. Try to try to do your activities 1698 01:25:00,760 --> 01:25:03,360 so you can get your rewards and things and then roll out, kill 1699 01:25:03,360 --> 01:25:06,120 up, get out of there. So roll up at the end of the 1700 01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:08,920 road phase. You, you, you do that, remove 1701 01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:12,320 all the pieces from the road and, and go, go to go to the 1702 01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:16,520 thing and then park. As we said, you do the 2D6 and 1703 01:25:16,520 --> 01:25:19,320 it says everyone rolls 2D6 and places them on the rest stop. 1704 01:25:19,320 --> 01:25:21,720 Assemble a dice on the rest stop to represent different 1705 01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:23,840 locations. Name the locations, add new 1706 01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:26,680 locations together. One dice represents a type of 1707 01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:29,200 location and the other dice represents the person or event 1708 01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:31,200 there. And I love that how like you're 1709 01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:34,840 each like you pick one of each when you roll it to do that. 1710 01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:38,120 So if it's a small community, everyone should just roll once. 1711 01:25:38,760 --> 01:25:40,120 If it's larger, you can roll more. 1712 01:25:40,120 --> 01:25:42,880 And there's a picture here of like dice kind of spread out as 1713 01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:44,400 like representative of like buildings. 1714 01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:48,280 It's neat that you would actually put the dice in in a 1715 01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:50,920 way that is the community. So you can actually see kind of 1716 01:25:50,920 --> 01:25:52,240 a map of the community in your dice. 1717 01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:56,280 I really love. Clever like mapping procedure. 1718 01:25:56,280 --> 01:25:58,400 I reading this I was like this is amazing. 1719 01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:03,000 It's fantastically brilliant and I kind of would like to steal 1720 01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:04,960 this for something else that's like a narrative. 1721 01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:08,440 Like you get to a place and tell me about this place, players you 1722 01:26:08,440 --> 01:26:09,520 know. Steal it. 1723 01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:11,920 Hackett I I love those. I really do generally love those 1724 01:26:11,920 --> 01:26:15,160 dice that are like dungeons and you just like roll them together 1725 01:26:15,160 --> 01:26:17,400 and you get like corners and walls and stuff and you like 1726 01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:19,640 build out a little like dungeon with it like a little 6 room 1727 01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:20,920 dungeon with your little dice. That's great. 1728 01:26:21,920 --> 01:26:24,200 Rest of our fuel. Once you populated the rest stop 1729 01:26:24,400 --> 01:26:25,920 rest of our fuel, there are four things to do. 1730 01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:30,200 Investigate strand registration activities and checklist scenes. 1731 01:26:30,240 --> 01:26:32,160 Reallocate your HP and upgrade your vehicle. 1732 01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:34,440 CPH 66 again, randomly hyperlinked. 1733 01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:36,320 You can choose multiple activities. 1734 01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:39,520 So investigating a strand, you pick a dice at the rest stop and 1735 01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:41,440 sketch out a scene. So you literally are like, I'm 1736 01:26:41,520 --> 01:26:43,440 going to go check this out and you RP it out. 1737 01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:46,360 Do that, it's cool. Set a scene, play, play and role 1738 01:26:46,360 --> 01:26:49,920 play that's it's a role play game and then do that. 1739 01:26:52,680 --> 01:26:55,640 I almost went to registration activity is the activities that 1740 01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:57,280 you get to do. What were your registration 1741 01:26:57,280 --> 01:27:00,880 activities? Oh crap, I've forgotten already. 1742 01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:01,880 Oh. It's not, it's not a big deal. 1743 01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:05,200 Then if you're a driver, apply your trade at each rest stop. 1744 01:27:05,520 --> 01:27:08,640 You apply your trade by narrating a scene and using your 1745 01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:10,960 registration activity. So it's very much kind of like 1746 01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:16,080 a, like a structured round table of, of setting scenes and people 1747 01:27:16,080 --> 01:27:18,560 acting out those scenes. So it's very RP heavy in this 1748 01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:20,720 section. Obviously, that's the point of 1749 01:27:20,720 --> 01:27:24,240 this section. Reallocate your HP, obviously 1750 01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:26,320 move stuff around and then roll out leave right? 1751 01:27:28,440 --> 01:27:30,640 You can return to this community by placing it on a map. 1752 01:27:31,240 --> 01:27:32,800 Even this community might ask favors. 1753 01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:34,720 I love that you can just like make the map yourself which is 1754 01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:38,840 cool. Where does it say where the map 1755 01:27:38,840 --> 01:27:39,840 is? Like a timeline? 1756 01:27:39,840 --> 01:27:42,600 You're just making a timeline and it like branches kind of. 1757 01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:45,120 Yeah, so it says, I think it says there's two ways. 1758 01:27:45,120 --> 01:27:50,080 Yeah, like, oh, maybe not. I know there's one that said 1759 01:27:50,080 --> 01:27:54,320 like you can either place it like a, like a like a tree, or 1760 01:27:54,320 --> 01:27:58,920 you could put it in a line. And one is, you know, obviously 1761 01:27:58,920 --> 01:28:01,600 the line and one is more of just like all the places that you've 1762 01:28:01,600 --> 01:28:02,720 gone. I don't remember where that is, 1763 01:28:02,720 --> 01:28:03,720 though. I don't think it's here, though. 1764 01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:11,280 Yeah, there's a cool picture. I wonder whose license plate 1765 01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:14,000 this is, because that's a real car that they took a picture of 1766 01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:15,080 and put a real license plate on there. 1767 01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:20,280 So tools, you've learned what Torque has to offer. 1768 01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:22,680 It's tactical gameplay on the road, free form, role play, rest 1769 01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:25,320 stops. The following pages are tools, 1770 01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:28,840 milestones, upgrades, milestones and upgrades for drivers, ticket 1771 01:28:28,840 --> 01:28:30,160 generator, all that kind of stuff. 1772 01:28:30,160 --> 01:28:33,400 So this is all the stuff to do the nitty gritty mechanics and 1773 01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:37,040 whatnot of the game. So the right to repair. 1774 01:28:37,040 --> 01:28:38,760 The right to repair is an assurance that manufacturers 1775 01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:40,520 provide all pieces of tools necessary for independent 1776 01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:41,480 mechanics anyway. Yeah. 1777 01:28:41,480 --> 01:28:45,200 So you have the right to repair your vehicle upgrades. 1778 01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:51,080 So again I still not finding the dice but torque is torque. 1779 01:28:51,080 --> 01:28:54,360 Full Torque is full of in character goals and motivations, 1780 01:28:54,920 --> 01:28:57,760 spending milestones to upgrade. So if you actually complete the 1781 01:28:57,760 --> 01:28:59,360 milestone, you can get an upgrade. 1782 01:28:59,360 --> 01:29:02,360 So a small milestone is a small upgrade, big milestone is a big 1783 01:29:02,360 --> 01:29:03,680 upgrade. A group milestone is a group 1784 01:29:03,680 --> 01:29:06,440 upgrade. And though you get options for 1785 01:29:06,440 --> 01:29:10,240 those, right, a small upgrade only lasts one Rd. phase. 1786 01:29:10,280 --> 01:29:13,680 And they're generally like if you have one extra set, two 1787 01:29:13,680 --> 01:29:16,040 extra health, one extra move, ignore an obstacle, things like 1788 01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:16,960 that. They're pretty small, but it's 1789 01:29:16,960 --> 01:29:20,000 only for one Rd. phase. Big upgrades are permanent and 1790 01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:21,680 it's like one extra set add to HP. 1791 01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:24,160 It's very similar to the small ones, but they're permanent. 1792 01:29:24,480 --> 01:29:28,240 And the Group 1 is a revelation. So it says add a new totaled 1793 01:29:28,240 --> 01:29:29,480 option. That's what I was talking about 1794 01:29:29,480 --> 01:29:31,280 before. So if you get this one, you get 1795 01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:33,600 to put one of those new options on that board. 1796 01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:38,520 Roll up a special tool on page 81, add another car to your 1797 01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:40,720 garage, add another driver to your convoy. 1798 01:29:40,720 --> 01:29:43,600 So those are really, really big. So these are the upgrades you 1799 01:29:43,600 --> 01:29:47,640 can get from completing your milestones, which again I still 1800 01:29:47,640 --> 01:29:51,720 am not finding the dice that you spent in the milestones or on on 1801 01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:56,440 obstacles and stuff like that. Yeah, I'm so confused about 1802 01:29:56,440 --> 01:29:59,000 that, honestly. Yeah, I'm, I'm, I don't, I like, 1803 01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:00,600 I don't like. I don't know if we missed 1804 01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:03,080 something or if like maybe there was a dicing they forgot to take 1805 01:30:03,080 --> 01:30:05,600 a couple of those mentions out. Listen, I'm not sure missing 1806 01:30:05,600 --> 01:30:10,720 something very realistic, but me and you missing something that's 1807 01:30:11,040 --> 01:30:13,680 slightly less. Realistic but but but possible 1808 01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:15,280 because we're fucking idiots that. 1809 01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:17,000 Is that's so true? I forget, yeah. 1810 01:30:17,640 --> 01:30:21,480 Yeah, right. So ticket generator is here. 1811 01:30:21,920 --> 01:30:25,080 It it talks about random column, random row tile, like the enemy 1812 01:30:25,080 --> 01:30:28,080 attacks use that we're going to scoot through some of this stuff 1813 01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:31,000 that are the tools because just go read them enemies. 1814 01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:35,200 So this is what I was talking about before where it says it 1815 01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:38,680 explains again the same big dozer tile right? 1816 01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:41,560 The the the stat block, same directions and everything like 1817 01:30:41,560 --> 01:30:47,840 that. And when building an enemy 1818 01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:49,280 ticket, keep in mind the following tips. 1819 01:30:49,280 --> 01:30:52,040 Overwhelm the drivers with number of enemies, not HP 1 1820 01:30:52,040 --> 01:30:54,240 action a turn is plenty unless they mean business. 1821 01:30:54,440 --> 01:30:56,920 The base damage enemy should be able to inflict as a single 1822 01:30:56,920 --> 01:31:01,080 crash or to health. Enemy HP should be within a 2 to 1823 01:31:01,080 --> 01:31:04,120 12 range of the drivers and there's zero to 60 unless this 1824 01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:05,520 particular speed lohi blah blah blah. 1825 01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:08,640 Enemies should have slightly inflated zero to 60 scores 1826 01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:13,400 compared to their HP to give drivers a slight edge in 1827 01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:14,240 creating. Yeah, yeah. 1828 01:31:14,240 --> 01:31:16,600 So it basically there's, I think there's another section later 1829 01:31:16,600 --> 01:31:18,160 where it talked about more specifically, but it basically 1830 01:31:18,160 --> 01:31:25,520 says like the zero to 60 is not it it, it's not indicative of 1831 01:31:26,160 --> 01:31:29,160 the zero to 60 or the HP of the car. 1832 01:31:29,160 --> 01:31:31,160 They can be totally different and it really depends. 1833 01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:32,720 And all of these are are like that. 1834 01:31:32,720 --> 01:31:36,760 So for example, shimmer would be an 8, but a zero to 60 is 10. 1835 01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:38,960 So basically it's saying inflate the zero to 60. 1836 01:31:38,960 --> 01:31:42,080 And I assume that is because the higher it is, the slower they 1837 01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:44,720 are. So you want the invoice to be 1838 01:31:44,840 --> 01:31:46,440 earlier? On yeah, it totally makes sense. 1839 01:31:46,440 --> 01:31:48,880 You give the drivers, this is a driver centric game. 1840 01:31:48,880 --> 01:31:52,320 They're supposed to be, you know, the, the road warrior cool 1841 01:31:52,320 --> 01:31:54,720 people. And yeah, they should be better 1842 01:31:54,720 --> 01:31:57,440 than their the arbitrary enemy drivers that kind of come out. 1843 01:31:57,440 --> 01:31:58,920 Exactly. Exactly which? 1844 01:31:58,920 --> 01:31:59,320 I'm fine. I'm. 1845 01:31:59,480 --> 01:32:00,880 Good with that. Yeah, I love that. 1846 01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:01,800 It's fantastic. Yeah. 1847 01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:06,240 So for so each enemy step lock has the name, it has the the 1848 01:32:06,320 --> 01:32:07,920 crashes and health and and everything. 1849 01:32:07,920 --> 01:32:10,440 And then it has like a little blurbs of the big dozers is 1850 01:32:10,440 --> 01:32:12,040 Frankenstein construction equipment. 1851 01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:15,440 And it says that has one action per turn and one of the actions 1852 01:32:15,440 --> 01:32:18,440 has a shover, which is to move into a random tie with a driver 1853 01:32:18,440 --> 01:32:24,400 and collide and then spike pod visualizer rodeo. 1854 01:32:24,400 --> 01:32:25,760 A lot of them are super fucking cool. 1855 01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:29,400 A weirdo with a low hanging chopper bouncing on the road is 1856 01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:34,960 a gyro captain. So a lot like the light bike. 1857 01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:39,200 A lot of these have to be like Dari's 16 has to be something 1858 01:32:39,200 --> 01:32:41,800 that I'm not aware of in a movie reference or something like 1859 01:32:41,800 --> 01:32:43,680 that. It's a semi truck filled with a 1860 01:32:43,680 --> 01:32:46,320 fragile, dangerous devices. Like that's got to be from a 1861 01:32:46,320 --> 01:32:48,240 movie light bike. Obviously we know what that's 1862 01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:49,800 from. I have no. 1863 01:32:49,800 --> 01:32:53,600 Idea what that's from. Anri Unforgiving has to be a 1864 01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:55,320 reference that I'm just like this going over my head. 1865 01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:57,520 Anri is a boss. Pair them with other disruptive 1866 01:32:57,520 --> 01:33:00,080 enemies. So the boss here is interesting. 1867 01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:02,440 It says it has two actions per turn. 1868 01:33:03,200 --> 01:33:06,600 It's got a relatively low zero 67 so it'd go quick. 1869 01:33:07,360 --> 01:33:09,520 One of the actions is opening a hole in the air and move away 1870 01:33:09,520 --> 01:33:11,320 from danger and inflict one health damage. 1871 01:33:11,560 --> 01:33:13,560 Just move and and do it light bend. 1872 01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:15,120 You cloak your current tile which means you can't be 1873 01:33:15,120 --> 01:33:18,000 targeted and then boss. It says refresh Audrey once 1874 01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:21,560 after totaled so you you win and then it gets a second phase. 1875 01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:23,960 Yeah, very, very Dark Souls, you know. 1876 01:33:24,160 --> 01:33:27,200 Yeah, so good. So, oh, here's the section. 1877 01:33:27,200 --> 01:33:30,320 So this is the whole section on making enemies and it 1878 01:33:30,320 --> 01:33:33,040 specifically says in this. So when assigning HP to enemies, 1879 01:33:33,040 --> 01:33:36,880 give them a higher zero to 60 then they'd have if they rolled 1880 01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:40,440 HP like drivers. So the first time you see the 1881 01:33:40,440 --> 01:33:42,760 enemy snap lock is like page like 40 something and then 1882 01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:45,480 explains the enemy step like a little bit as far as the HP and 1883 01:33:45,480 --> 01:33:48,840 zero to 60 on page 73. It would have been nice if there 1884 01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:53,320 was maybe a reference to page 73 on that previous page so that 1885 01:33:53,320 --> 01:33:56,240 you're not a little bit confused on why the stop block is 1886 01:33:56,240 --> 01:33:58,120 different. Because again, it doesn't 1887 01:33:58,120 --> 01:34:01,680 explain it until the making enemies kind of like GM section 1888 01:34:01,680 --> 01:34:04,240 or whatever on why it is that way. 1889 01:34:04,920 --> 01:34:06,920 But there's a making enemy section, there's a making bosses 1890 01:34:06,920 --> 01:34:12,480 section, there's a fucking insanely cool road map just like 1891 01:34:12,480 --> 01:34:18,240 this piece together collage of of amazingness by the book. 1892 01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:20,040 Look at this map. It's so fucking cool. 1893 01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:24,000 And then as you go down, it goes through environments and 1894 01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:26,080 obstacles. So this it gives you this as 1895 01:34:26,080 --> 01:34:29,480 like an adventure to run Ignatia, run loading base storm 1896 01:34:29,480 --> 01:34:31,160 Halsema. These are different things and 1897 01:34:31,160 --> 01:34:32,840 it gives you three things in each part. 1898 01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:36,000 So for storm, it's got Moody weather coming down hard. 1899 01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:39,000 It says like add a bad visibility, like violent 1900 01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:41,360 meteorology, add permanent bad visibility. 1901 01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:43,200 So there's like options for each one. 1902 01:34:43,200 --> 01:34:46,840 So again, you kind of get an adventure without them saying 1903 01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:49,240 like, now here's the adventure, which is great. 1904 01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:52,920 I like that. It it, it lets you use your mind 1905 01:34:53,360 --> 01:34:58,360 in fun, interesting ways. There's example environments, 1906 01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:00,800 obstacles, there's example events. 1907 01:35:01,200 --> 01:35:02,760 And then there's some more tables in the back which are 1908 01:35:02,760 --> 01:35:04,760 really cool. So like there's a loot table. 1909 01:35:05,360 --> 01:35:08,280 There was a reference earlier to like make a random piece of loot 1910 01:35:08,280 --> 01:35:10,480 or whatever, and this is or random item. 1911 01:35:10,480 --> 01:35:11,600 And this is where you'll find it. 1912 01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:18,800 So do you want to just, I mean, I really love like 6 predictive 1913 01:35:18,800 --> 01:35:20,920 instruments. Place one mine on enemy's head. 1914 01:35:21,240 --> 01:35:24,080 And I love how there are all these gauges off to the side and 1915 01:35:24,080 --> 01:35:26,960 each one is like marked off to one of the gauges, which is 1916 01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:32,720 really cool. There is #2A little something 1917 01:35:32,760 --> 01:35:34,800 special, A little something special. 1918 01:35:35,080 --> 01:35:38,360 Oh, so I'm sorry. So loot you would roll #1 the 1919 01:35:38,360 --> 01:35:41,080 instrument cluster #2 the little something special. 1920 01:35:43,120 --> 01:35:46,640 I like this as pissed. Want to make a busted driver 1921 01:35:46,640 --> 01:35:48,560 instead of getting stock and custom stunts? 1922 01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:52,880 Roll three times on this loop section and let God sort out the 1923 01:35:52,880 --> 01:35:56,200 rest. That's so fucking good. 1924 01:35:57,000 --> 01:35:59,240 A special little telescope. Halogen brights. 1925 01:35:59,240 --> 01:36:02,520 RIP cords dude. I love RIP cords. 1926 01:36:03,000 --> 01:36:04,520 Pull, pull. All drivers. 1927 01:36:04,920 --> 01:36:08,520 All of them. So good bolt bolt thrower donate 1928 01:36:08,520 --> 01:36:15,160 one crash at event and lock it. So good #3 is guts so bad? 1929 01:36:15,160 --> 01:36:18,400 Syringe of expensive petrol, distortion for shortener. 1930 01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:22,560 So this is all just cool stuff that you can get or give or use. 1931 01:36:22,560 --> 01:36:25,480 It's it's things that the game can have and they're so 1932 01:36:25,480 --> 01:36:28,640 interesting. Some kind of box, just about 1933 01:36:28,640 --> 01:36:31,000 just a box. There's a #5 number six is just 1934 01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:32,640 knobs and switches, just different knobs and switches you 1935 01:36:32,640 --> 01:36:35,240 can have. It's so cool. 1936 01:36:35,320 --> 01:36:36,680 And then so we're almost done with the game. 1937 01:36:38,600 --> 01:36:42,240 We are on page 86 and 84, so we're getting there friends. 1938 01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:47,160 There's a rest stop section which talks a little bit more 1939 01:36:47,160 --> 01:36:49,640 about like retiring characters and community pressures. 1940 01:36:49,840 --> 01:36:53,520 It's got a roll table for like kind of how people will it. 1941 01:36:53,560 --> 01:36:55,880 It's basically like the the whole standard like reaction 1942 01:36:55,880 --> 01:36:57,920 table to you. Are you a nuisance of boogeyman, 1943 01:36:57,920 --> 01:36:59,240 a friendly face, you know, that kind of thing. 1944 01:36:59,640 --> 01:37:02,480 There's a section here on like the vibe palette generating a 1945 01:37:02,480 --> 01:37:04,840 few sentences for a restaurant to create a palette for your 1946 01:37:04,840 --> 01:37:07,280 vibe bargains and things like that. 1947 01:37:07,600 --> 01:37:11,600 And then what you notice first table, which is cool to have 1948 01:37:11,600 --> 01:37:15,120 just the D6D66 table for like what you notice first. 1949 01:37:15,120 --> 01:37:17,040 So roll. Roll on what you notice 1st and 1950 01:37:17,040 --> 01:37:23,440 what you know what you see last. OK, what you notice first I got 1951 01:37:24,040 --> 01:37:28,600 1-2, the field of flowers on every side. 1952 01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:34,960 Well I notice. Well I see last though I get 6 1953 01:37:34,960 --> 01:37:41,040 for the statues. Oh well, Weeping Angel action, 1954 01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:45,520 you know. And then last two spreads here, 1955 01:37:45,520 --> 01:37:48,600 so a bargain between. So there's a second earlier 1956 01:37:48,600 --> 01:37:49,920 about bargains. We didn't really get into it 1957 01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:53,240 that far, but these are the most kind of far out there. 1958 01:37:53,240 --> 01:37:58,600 Spreads that are maybe a tiny bit too far but are still 1959 01:37:58,600 --> 01:38:01,440 beautiful. So a bargain between the sky and 1960 01:38:01,440 --> 01:38:04,080 its people across the two spreads 2 very, very different 1961 01:38:04,080 --> 01:38:06,520 to got a bargain between the sky. 1962 01:38:06,520 --> 01:38:08,240 So roll. Roll D66. 1963 01:38:08,240 --> 01:38:10,120 Between the world and its people. 1964 01:38:11,320 --> 01:38:12,520 Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah, a bargain between the 1965 01:38:12,520 --> 01:38:14,080 world. I kept reading Sky because Sky 1966 01:38:14,080 --> 01:38:15,120 is the first box, the first thing. 1967 01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:16,520 A bargain between the world and his people. 1968 01:38:16,520 --> 01:38:18,560 So. So roll the D66 for for this. 1969 01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:28,200 OK so 1st 152 I got fauna and tell tale and tell fauna and the 1970 01:38:28,200 --> 01:38:33,280 people I got 5 four which is exactly. 1971 01:38:34,240 --> 01:38:38,800 Yeah, yeah, the people spread is it's, it's it's it's 1972 01:38:38,800 --> 01:38:40,720 interesting. It is probably one of the. 1973 01:38:40,720 --> 01:38:42,320 Worst spreads. You saw me do this, that's why 1974 01:38:42,360 --> 01:38:43,080 you said it. Exactly. 1975 01:38:43,280 --> 01:38:47,960 Tuner tuner, it's very much like at an angle on an angle stacked 1976 01:38:47,960 --> 01:38:51,920 on an angle and stuff like that. Last ones points of interest. 1977 01:38:52,600 --> 01:38:56,720 So there's there's again, these are the, it's interesting that 1978 01:38:56,720 --> 01:38:58,920 these are here because this is like the kind of the community 1979 01:38:58,920 --> 01:39:01,840 creation tables. Again, this whole section is 1980 01:39:01,840 --> 01:39:04,600 tools, but this with the community section would have 1981 01:39:04,600 --> 01:39:06,120 been, I think, interesting. I agree. 1982 01:39:07,440 --> 01:39:12,280 Or at least a or at least like a find those on page 91 thing, but 1983 01:39:12,280 --> 01:39:15,640 it's the one dice isolated away. 2 dice, 3 dice people places 1984 01:39:15,640 --> 01:39:17,920 events based on the different dice and stuff that you roll. 1985 01:39:18,640 --> 01:39:23,480 And then last bit here there's an example rest stop and then 1986 01:39:23,480 --> 01:39:26,360 there's speed running torque, which gives you some stuff to 1987 01:39:26,360 --> 01:39:28,440 do. And then there's the torque and 1988 01:39:28,440 --> 01:39:31,800 torque conversion guide to switch torque to torque. 1989 01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:33,760 You switch out all the G's with Q's. 1990 01:39:35,240 --> 01:39:39,440 I think it should be all the Q's with G's, but whatever or or you 1991 01:39:39,440 --> 01:39:42,360 play torque. That's kind of it. 1992 01:39:42,360 --> 01:39:45,320 Note from the author with these tools and proceeding rules, 1993 01:39:45,320 --> 01:39:47,360 you're ready to get into trouble and kick the road. 1994 01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:49,920 Kick it. There you go. 1995 01:39:50,240 --> 01:39:53,560 Note from the publisher do not under any circumstances launch, 1996 01:39:53,560 --> 01:39:56,400 slag, place mind, or attempt any other maneuver described in 1997 01:39:56,400 --> 01:39:58,120 these pages behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. 1998 01:39:59,080 --> 01:40:02,000 Wait. I do say I have a thing, I have 1999 01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:03,080 a thing. Do we have time for a thing? 2000 01:40:03,480 --> 01:40:06,400 Yeah. OK, this is from Itch, the IO 2001 01:40:06,520 --> 01:40:09,000 someone's asking about. I've still been looking for this 2002 01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:11,120 role, by the way, what's really neat, but I'm really confused 2003 01:40:11,120 --> 01:40:15,440 about obstacles. They have a price and a penalty. 2004 01:40:15,720 --> 01:40:18,000 It says the price has been dice. I'm not sure what that means. 2005 01:40:18,200 --> 01:40:20,920 Will Yops has replied. Thanks for the note. 2006 01:40:20,920 --> 01:40:23,840 The dice concept was thrown out right before layout. 2007 01:40:24,240 --> 01:40:28,120 That should read actions. Basically all obstacles have a 2008 01:40:28,120 --> 01:40:31,280 price in the penalty noted. Like the price penalty, the 2009 01:40:31,280 --> 01:40:36,200 price is the cost in actions to be in the obstacle tile and 2010 01:40:36,200 --> 01:40:42,360 ignore the penalty. So what we should do is update 2011 01:40:42,360 --> 01:40:43,880 the PDF. Well, it's on it. 2012 01:40:43,880 --> 01:40:44,920 No, we should. We should. 2013 01:40:44,920 --> 01:40:45,680 Review this. We'll go. 2014 01:40:45,680 --> 01:40:48,680 We'll start the episode over. Yeah, we'll do another hour and 2015 01:40:48,680 --> 01:40:50,720 48 minutes. Yep, so that we can. 2016 01:40:51,200 --> 01:40:55,400 But I mean, if you're going to explain a fix, fix the PDF, it 2017 01:40:55,480 --> 01:40:58,360 would be nice, you know, because how would we know that? 2018 01:40:58,560 --> 01:41:02,760 Except unless we dig through the itch, which you can buy this not 2019 01:41:02,800 --> 01:41:05,760 on itch and then get APDF. So you wouldn't know unless you 2020 01:41:05,760 --> 01:41:07,240 dig like you did. Good job, buddy. 2021 01:41:07,360 --> 01:41:09,240 That's the way to fix it. So it was an error. 2022 01:41:09,240 --> 01:41:11,240 We did find it. And it does make sense to just 2023 01:41:11,240 --> 01:41:14,320 explain to just switch with actions and that would because 2024 01:41:14,320 --> 01:41:15,960 you get 2 and a round. So having to play a penalty of 2025 01:41:15,960 --> 01:41:18,040 an action totally works really great. 2026 01:41:18,560 --> 01:41:21,160 I'm less confused now. That's it. 2027 01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:23,160 That's the whole thing. And that's the game. 2028 01:41:23,160 --> 01:41:25,600 The Backpage again, more yellow and explanation. 2029 01:41:25,600 --> 01:41:26,600 And it's beautiful and I love it. 2030 01:41:26,600 --> 01:41:30,320 It's great. I even even the even the back of 2031 01:41:30,320 --> 01:41:33,640 the PDF where on the back of the book it says good luck. press.co 2032 01:41:33,640 --> 01:41:35,760 is hyperlinked. So I'm really disappointed that 2033 01:41:35,760 --> 01:41:37,960 the index is not hyperlinked. I'm going to be honest. 2034 01:41:39,800 --> 01:41:45,760 So review scores for Torque, obviously the books, 94 pages 2035 01:41:46,040 --> 01:41:48,680 for those that don't know or need reminding. 2036 01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:51,640 All of this is our extraordinarily subjective 2037 01:41:51,640 --> 01:41:54,720 opinion and is in no way, shape or form a voice of authority. 2038 01:41:55,720 --> 01:41:58,240 If you don't like it, that's fine. 2039 01:42:00,280 --> 01:42:02,960 Yeah, we're done. So, you know, whatever. 2040 01:42:02,960 --> 01:42:05,760 Or we're super smart and you're just maybe not everything is for 2041 01:42:05,760 --> 01:42:08,120 you. And if we're not for you, that's 2042 01:42:08,120 --> 01:42:09,960 also fine. That's also fair, you know. 2043 01:42:10,160 --> 01:42:14,240 But anyway, so we, we, we, we take our terrible opinions and 2044 01:42:14,240 --> 01:42:17,080 we quantify them into 5 metrics worth 10 points each, for a 2045 01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:21,960 total of 50 points, which means that we do more than just the 2046 01:42:21,960 --> 01:42:24,480 game. If you'll look at this, the rule 2047 01:42:24,480 --> 01:42:28,160 set is one of five metrics. This is as much a product review 2048 01:42:28,440 --> 01:42:31,760 and amateur dev editing as it is a game review. 2049 01:42:34,120 --> 01:42:37,760 What it is we do on the show. So the first one is art and 2050 01:42:37,760 --> 01:42:39,640 layout. It is the art in the book, it is 2051 01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:42,160 the layout visually, it does the visuals of the book. 2052 01:42:42,440 --> 01:42:47,160 And if they work for us, usability is things like 2053 01:42:47,640 --> 01:42:52,000 hyperlinked index, if a book needs a bookmark, like if things 2054 01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:55,840 are in what we consider to be the a good reading order, if you 2055 01:42:55,840 --> 01:42:58,960 don't have to hunt for things, if both the book and the PDF are 2056 01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:01,160 usable, right. The rule set is the actual rule 2057 01:43:01,160 --> 01:43:02,840 set of the game. If it's adapted, how well is it 2058 01:43:02,840 --> 01:43:05,000 adapted? If it's a unique new rule set, 2059 01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:07,440 do we think it's good? Do we like it? 2060 01:43:07,720 --> 01:43:11,240 Originality is exactly that. Originality in any aspect of any 2061 01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:14,680 of these metrics or beyond. And value is the bang for your 2062 01:43:14,680 --> 01:43:18,280 buck, not just the flat cost, but also what you do you get 2063 01:43:18,320 --> 01:43:20,040 with it. Is there a lot in the book? 2064 01:43:20,040 --> 01:43:23,960 Is there a lot beyond the book? Do you feel like, again, you get 2065 01:43:23,960 --> 01:43:26,600 enough bang for your buck for the money that you spend on 2066 01:43:26,600 --> 01:43:29,440 this? So art and layout. 2067 01:43:31,120 --> 01:43:37,800 Oh dude, this is I mean, it's this is an amazingly like it's 2068 01:43:37,800 --> 01:43:40,640 an amazing pleasure to go through this visually, it's like 2069 01:43:40,720 --> 01:43:48,840 it is fantastic looking book. I love the like experimental use 2070 01:43:48,840 --> 01:43:52,920 of layout and it it it really hits all the way through until a 2071 01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:57,240 couple of the last things are like, but they're not bad and I 2072 01:43:57,240 --> 01:43:59,760 still like them you. Mean like the tools and stuff at 2073 01:43:59,760 --> 01:44:01,200 the backgrounds? What's up you? 2074 01:44:01,760 --> 01:44:03,160 Mean like the tools and stuff away at the back? 2075 01:44:03,400 --> 01:44:07,320 Yeah I'm here's The thing is even the point of interest is 2076 01:44:07,320 --> 01:44:09,000 still really interesting page and other stuff. 2077 01:44:09,240 --> 01:44:12,640 I'm OK with the tools be oh also like the bargain page and the 2078 01:44:12,640 --> 01:44:15,240 people page like that one got way far out there that one might 2079 01:44:15,240 --> 01:44:17,760 have got away a little bit it's. The only one that trips me up. 2080 01:44:17,800 --> 01:44:19,720 I got it, you know. Yeah, yeah. 2081 01:44:20,440 --> 01:44:22,520 Otherwise it's it's so easy to read. 2082 01:44:22,760 --> 01:44:25,560 It is like all of the graphics are incredibly well done. 2083 01:44:25,560 --> 01:44:28,400 I mean, visually, you're right. It was up every time I float the 2084 01:44:28,400 --> 01:44:30,120 page. I was just like excited for like 2085 01:44:30,120 --> 01:44:32,600 the next spread to pop up. And because they're all fucking 2086 01:44:32,720 --> 01:44:35,480 gorgeous. I'm pretty high on this. 2087 01:44:35,480 --> 01:44:37,920 This is not what I would call an art book, but it's probably the 2088 01:44:37,920 --> 01:44:39,800 highest score we're going to give when it's not considered an 2089 01:44:39,800 --> 01:44:41,160 art book. Probably what number? 2090 01:44:41,160 --> 01:44:44,960 Are you thinking I'm? 8-9 on this I'm like healthy 9. 2091 01:44:45,640 --> 01:44:48,720 I yeah, I already had nine typed in, so we're going to go with a 2092 01:44:48,720 --> 01:44:51,640 nine here. This is a gorgeous visually, 2093 01:44:51,640 --> 01:44:54,600 this is a absolutely stunning, gorgeous book. 2094 01:44:56,120 --> 01:45:00,120 The vibes all the way through, like keep you in the game. 2095 01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:01,560 It's readable all the way through. 2096 01:45:01,560 --> 01:45:04,320 It's it's, it's, it's gorgeous both with the art that they did, 2097 01:45:04,320 --> 01:45:06,160 the photography they did and the layout. 2098 01:45:06,600 --> 01:45:08,040 Usability. I think it suffers. 2099 01:45:08,120 --> 01:45:10,560 I think it suffers a couple of different ways on usability, 2100 01:45:10,960 --> 01:45:14,040 yeah. I think, I think the obviously 2101 01:45:14,040 --> 01:45:16,320 we're going to count off for not having a hyperlinked index 2102 01:45:16,320 --> 01:45:19,320 because that's what we do and that's the expectation that we 2103 01:45:19,320 --> 01:45:22,080 we have and we've set. It's 2024. 2104 01:45:23,080 --> 01:45:26,800 Like when you go through the road section and has these icons 2105 01:45:26,800 --> 01:45:30,520 and you the has this like the icons make it so easy to 2106 01:45:30,520 --> 01:45:32,640 understand and explain and like set things up. 2107 01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:37,160 It's explained really well, even though the layouts like kind of 2108 01:45:37,160 --> 01:45:40,360 experimental at some points and like far out there are quotes 2109 01:45:40,360 --> 01:45:41,920 around that. It's not like it's crazy, but 2110 01:45:41,920 --> 01:45:44,720 it's cool. I still it's still incredibly 2111 01:45:44,720 --> 01:45:45,840 readable and you can go through it. 2112 01:45:45,840 --> 01:45:47,840 Some stuff needs to be moved around, maybe in some different 2113 01:45:47,840 --> 01:45:50,840 places, and that's kind of the biggest thing for me. 2114 01:45:51,400 --> 01:45:53,600 Yeah, I think so. So as far as usability, it's 2115 01:45:53,600 --> 01:45:55,720 it's a beautiful book, right? And it's extremely, it's 2116 01:45:55,720 --> 01:45:59,880 extremely well laid out. The graphics are fantastic, as 2117 01:45:59,880 --> 01:46:02,320 we said before with the the visual layout. 2118 01:46:02,320 --> 01:46:05,600 But you as far as the the actual like usability of the layout, 2119 01:46:05,840 --> 01:46:08,680 gorgeous graphics, gorgeous like the explanation of the character 2120 01:46:08,680 --> 01:46:10,520 sheet gorgeous. What we want is those 2121 01:46:10,520 --> 01:46:11,840 explainers, those things like that. 2122 01:46:12,200 --> 01:46:14,680 The issues that I do have are obviously the the missing 2123 01:46:14,680 --> 01:46:16,720 hyperlinks author out. I think, I think a bunch of the 2124 01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:19,960 inlines must be broken. But the fact that the the index 2125 01:46:19,960 --> 01:46:23,440 especially isn't hyperlinked is is is kind of crazy when when 2126 01:46:23,560 --> 01:46:26,280 every link is and a bunch of the in lines are. 2127 01:46:26,280 --> 01:46:31,920 It's weird that the index isn't. But in addition to that, there's 2128 01:46:31,920 --> 01:46:33,880 a bunch of stuff in character creation you don't understand 2129 01:46:33,880 --> 01:46:36,640 for a while. There's like there's some like 2130 01:46:36,640 --> 01:46:38,560 for example, in like the community section when it talked 2131 01:46:38,560 --> 01:46:41,320 about how to roll it. I don't, I don't think it has 2132 01:46:41,320 --> 01:46:43,280 like go to page 91 for the resources. 2133 01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:47,480 Like when the first time you see the enemy stop block, like they 2134 01:46:47,480 --> 01:46:49,640 definitely tripped me up on the fact that it wasn't the same 2135 01:46:49,640 --> 01:46:50,880 amount of health. But it doesn't really tell you 2136 01:46:50,880 --> 01:46:53,320 to like page 73 that it doesn't have to be. 2137 01:46:53,720 --> 01:46:57,240 So I think there's it does an incredibly, incredibly good job 2138 01:46:57,240 --> 01:47:00,160 of explaining things, but I think it just like missed two or 2139 01:47:00,160 --> 01:47:03,320 three things and maybe we're lit just like even 3 or 4 words or 2140 01:47:03,320 --> 01:47:05,760 just like go see here would have been really nice. 2141 01:47:05,760 --> 01:47:08,200 I don't think that like tanks it by new stretch of the 2142 01:47:08,200 --> 01:47:10,400 imagination, but there's definitely some some things. 2143 01:47:10,400 --> 01:47:15,080 And also, I mean the fact that dice is mentioned and it's not 2144 01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:18,560 part of the game and the PDF, the PDF hasn't been hyperlinked 2145 01:47:20,200 --> 01:47:23,560 or hasn't been updated with that because how long ago was was 2146 01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:28,080 that thing on itch because I had this 2. 2147 01:47:28,080 --> 01:47:30,360 Years. Yeah, so it two years the PDF 2148 01:47:30,360 --> 01:47:33,640 hasn't been updated. So to me, like those are things 2149 01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:35,440 that kind of like Ding it down a little bit for me yeah. 2150 01:47:35,440 --> 01:47:38,360 I think overall though, like books should look at this book 2151 01:47:38,360 --> 01:47:40,800 on how to like have a character she explained to you and like 2152 01:47:41,280 --> 01:47:44,000 the the graphics for like the crashes and the health and like 2153 01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:45,880 how they work and stuff stunning. 2154 01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:48,800 So like, I think that far outweigh stuff, but obviously, 2155 01:47:48,800 --> 01:47:50,480 you know, there's some things that could be tweaked a little 2156 01:47:50,480 --> 01:47:51,960 bit better. What are your thoughts? 2157 01:47:52,440 --> 01:47:55,160 I don't know, you know, I was a strong seven and then we we 2158 01:47:55,480 --> 01:47:58,000 retreaded the whole like dice over actions things. 2159 01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:00,120 I'm like fuck, that kind of makes it like a six for me man. 2160 01:48:01,160 --> 01:48:04,120 I I disagree. I was probably way up more of 2161 01:48:04,120 --> 01:48:10,200 like a fat 8 just based on and obviously feel free to disagree 2162 01:48:10,200 --> 01:48:13,800 but like the the we talk about flow sheets and stuff all the 2163 01:48:13,800 --> 01:48:15,320 time. This is not necessarily like a 2164 01:48:15,320 --> 01:48:20,000 flow sheet, but like the real explainers with the arrows 2165 01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:22,560 pointing to everything with very specific set instructions like 2166 01:48:22,560 --> 01:48:23,840 the. That is very true. 2167 01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:26,800 OK, maybe everything is 7. Yeah, I think it's an 8 and it 2168 01:48:26,800 --> 01:48:29,040 drops to A7 with those couple with those couple of Dings in my 2169 01:48:29,040 --> 01:48:31,480 opinion. OK, if you're good with that, 2170 01:48:31,480 --> 01:48:38,040 I'm good with that rule set bro. It's a great rule set. 2171 01:48:38,200 --> 01:48:40,520 What the fucking pleasure of a rule set, you know? 2172 01:48:40,520 --> 01:48:45,000 Like it's fun, it's easy to understand and has the potential 2173 01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:48,320 for like a deeper level level play like we were talking about. 2174 01:48:49,520 --> 01:48:54,200 The abilities are interesting. I think also like the way stunts 2175 01:48:54,200 --> 01:48:56,920 are later on explained where it makes it easy for you to like 2176 01:48:56,920 --> 01:49:00,520 make your own stunts. I love this rule set. 2177 01:49:00,520 --> 01:49:04,960 I am dying to play it. Yeah, so one thing again that I 2178 01:49:04,960 --> 01:49:08,080 kind of disagreed with, like one thing that Will said was that 2179 01:49:08,080 --> 01:49:10,800 like this kind of lean into like it's two games and one. 2180 01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:14,680 I remember when we did Were you with me when we did Demon Craw 2181 01:49:14,680 --> 01:49:17,640 Gothic that. Might have been one of the days 2182 01:49:17,640 --> 01:49:20,680 I missed. OK, so in that game it very much 2183 01:49:20,680 --> 01:49:23,680 was two different games. It was like an RPG, and it was 2184 01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:26,240 very much like no. I did that one and I remember us 2185 01:49:26,280 --> 01:49:30,160 being like this game is worse for being two things 2. 2186 01:49:30,160 --> 01:49:33,440 Games that like individually the one game is fantastic and 2187 01:49:33,440 --> 01:49:35,320 individually the other game is fantastic, but when you put it 2188 01:49:35,320 --> 01:49:38,040 together it really makes this. Disc Yeah, I remember it's. 2189 01:49:38,040 --> 01:49:40,600 Fantastic by the way though, standard ID stuff is fantastic. 2190 01:49:40,600 --> 01:49:44,640 Go check out like all the stuff they do Bernard, Reaper still 2191 01:49:44,640 --> 01:49:47,640 hurts, all that kind of stuff, but that felt like 2 very 2192 01:49:47,640 --> 01:49:50,280 distinct games. This definitely feels like 2 2193 01:49:50,360 --> 01:49:54,600 distinct modes of play, but it doesn't feel like there's a 2194 01:49:54,600 --> 01:49:56,680 discordance. It feels like once you're done 2195 01:49:56,680 --> 01:49:58,520 with the road, you just drive down the road to the rest stop. 2196 01:49:59,080 --> 01:50:01,440 It's very cohesive and I really, really like that a lot. 2197 01:50:02,080 --> 01:50:03,520 I don't remember why I was talking about that. 2198 01:50:04,920 --> 01:50:06,760 It was, it was a good thing. It was, it was to say like, I 2199 01:50:06,760 --> 01:50:09,600 love the two modes of play. I think it's fantastic that they 2200 01:50:09,600 --> 01:50:11,240 does that. And the interesting thing about 2201 01:50:11,240 --> 01:50:13,480 the two roads of play too, is like if you're the kind of table 2202 01:50:13,480 --> 01:50:16,400 that wants more, more actionless role play, you just stay on the 2203 01:50:16,400 --> 01:50:17,800 road more. And if you're the kind of 2204 01:50:17,800 --> 01:50:21,240 player, the team, the, the kind of table that wants to do more 2205 01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:25,080 like rest up stuff, like more RP, more stuff like that, just 2206 01:50:25,080 --> 01:50:27,800 do more rest up stuff. And I think it's, it's the 2207 01:50:27,880 --> 01:50:30,200 especially the first like 5 pages where it really lets you 2208 01:50:30,200 --> 01:50:34,040 like dictate the style of game you want very specifically. 2209 01:50:34,560 --> 01:50:37,440 It allows for so much flexibility and still maintain 2210 01:50:37,440 --> 01:50:39,040 the game and in a really good way. 2211 01:50:39,320 --> 01:50:41,200 Also the road's genius. I fucking love the grid. 2212 01:50:42,000 --> 01:50:45,640 Yeah, and the grid's great and its use is great because I think 2213 01:50:46,200 --> 01:50:48,960 I kind of touched us earlier when I initially saw the grid 2214 01:50:48,960 --> 01:50:50,440 and I was like, oh, it's three by three. 2215 01:50:50,440 --> 01:50:52,920 It's not many spaces, but it's plenty of room. 2216 01:50:53,040 --> 01:50:55,560 There's movement to it. More than one thing can fit in 2217 01:50:55,560 --> 01:50:59,120 the space and like that has interesting interactions to it. 2218 01:51:00,080 --> 01:51:02,400 Yeah, I, I love this. I I think this is really 2219 01:51:02,400 --> 01:51:05,400 enjoyable. It's yeah, I the what do you 2220 01:51:05,400 --> 01:51:07,200 think? I don't know. 2221 01:51:07,320 --> 01:51:09,080 I just I want to say again, the road. 2222 01:51:09,440 --> 01:51:11,640 I thought the same thing as you 3 right three seem doesn't seem 2223 01:51:11,640 --> 01:51:15,360 enough, but the tactical aspect of like just being on this chunk 2224 01:51:15,360 --> 01:51:18,320 of the road. I was just like, oh this it 2225 01:51:18,320 --> 01:51:19,840 tickled it tickled me in all the right ways. 2226 01:51:20,680 --> 01:51:22,160 Probably at least an 8 to be honest. 2227 01:51:22,160 --> 01:51:24,000 I. Think I'm at least an 8. 2228 01:51:24,200 --> 01:51:26,280 You know I'm 10 to say 9 honestly. 2229 01:51:28,560 --> 01:51:31,840 I, this is so this is the one that we always have to, that I, 2230 01:51:31,840 --> 01:51:34,880 I look at, and I think we've talked about this before, look 2231 01:51:34,880 --> 01:51:39,160 at more in context of other things than some of the other 2232 01:51:39,160 --> 01:51:43,640 ones that can be in context to itself and in relation to one, 2233 01:51:43,640 --> 01:51:45,440 maybe two games or 10. So it's not that. 2234 01:51:45,440 --> 01:51:49,440 And then when I think of all the nines, to me this is an 8. 2235 01:51:50,120 --> 01:51:51,880 OK, I'm good with that. I think you're right. 2236 01:51:52,560 --> 01:51:57,160 OK, but I do I do love it. This is definitely if this was a 2237 01:51:57,160 --> 01:52:00,400 Zine 1 where we had a vibe score, it would be a tent for 2238 01:52:00,400 --> 01:52:02,200 me. The vibes on this aren't saying 2239 01:52:02,800 --> 01:52:06,360 originality. Can you point out to another 2240 01:52:06,360 --> 01:52:11,160 like Rally Row 2 mode? I and the grid? 2241 01:52:11,160 --> 01:52:14,600 Everything we just said about the grid, like the tactical 2242 01:52:14,600 --> 01:52:17,000 aspects of the gameplay, like I I think the originality score is 2243 01:52:17,000 --> 01:52:19,320 way up there for me. Yeah. 2244 01:52:20,360 --> 01:52:23,960 What are you thinking? I don't know, what do you think? 2245 01:52:23,960 --> 01:52:26,320 I'm thinking a nine again. Man, I love this game. 2246 01:52:26,880 --> 01:52:29,120 I'm between an 8 and a nine too, because I I'm just trying to 2247 01:52:29,120 --> 01:52:31,640 think again, the originality of it. 2248 01:52:31,640 --> 01:52:34,720 I I'm sure they exist, but I cannot think of another game 2249 01:52:34,720 --> 01:52:35,240 that is. It's not. 2250 01:52:35,360 --> 01:52:38,240 Even like the genre of the game, although I think is really it's 2251 01:52:38,280 --> 01:52:39,760 one. Aspect of the originality 2252 01:52:39,760 --> 01:52:42,640 though, yeah. It's like it's how it works, 2253 01:52:42,920 --> 01:52:46,440 like how you build the rest stops, how you play on the grid. 2254 01:52:46,800 --> 01:52:50,840 Like I would give this A9. Well, and we again, we talked 2255 01:52:50,840 --> 01:52:53,640 about the originality can be in all of these or, or any of them, 2256 01:52:53,640 --> 01:52:56,560 right? Because the layout, it's insane. 2257 01:52:56,720 --> 01:52:58,280 The originality on that is insane. 2258 01:52:58,520 --> 01:53:02,840 The the the rule set, come on, especially the grid, insane the 2259 01:53:02,840 --> 01:53:06,680 genre fucking awesome, right? Yeah, You know what? 2260 01:53:06,680 --> 01:53:09,400 Fuck it, we'll go 9. Yeah, fuck it, it's a nine I. 2261 01:53:09,760 --> 01:53:14,120 Think it's fantastic because so many times where like it's 2262 01:53:14,120 --> 01:53:15,960 another Dutchie game, but it does it in a fun way. 2263 01:53:16,200 --> 01:53:18,200 You know what I mean? Value. 2264 01:53:18,200 --> 01:53:19,920 You didn't happen to look up the, so it's. 2265 01:53:20,960 --> 01:53:24,760 Whoops. $15 on it for the PDF.

And we'll put the insane layout. 2280 01:54:14,040 --> 01:54:16,640 You know, put your owns and styles of play. 2281 01:54:16,720 --> 01:54:19,400 The only thing I would say is like there's like an endless 2282 01:54:19,400 --> 01:54:21,400 things that you can create on your own with this. 2283 01:54:21,560 --> 01:54:26,640 Yeah, I would love another a book that gives you a book of a 2284 01:54:26,640 --> 01:54:33,960 book of some some some tickets, a book of more examples, like a 2285 01:54:33,960 --> 01:54:36,400 book of more drivers. Like if there was like a like a 2286 01:54:36,400 --> 01:54:41,680 torque 2, you know, like super torqued, I would I would love 2287 01:54:41,680 --> 01:54:44,600 the fuck out of that. I think I think value wise, I 2288 01:54:44,600 --> 01:54:48,240 think it's good, but not great. There's not like any more than 2289 01:54:48,240 --> 01:54:49,840 what's here, even though what's here is fantastic. 2290 01:54:49,840 --> 01:54:53,200 So probably like, I don't know, like 6-7. 2291 01:54:53,560 --> 01:54:58,320 Yeah, I'm, I'm also like 6-7, so I think maybe 6 if there were 2292 01:54:58,320 --> 01:55:00,960 some more, I don't know. I, I, I think it was a little 2293 01:55:00,960 --> 01:55:02,600 bit more. Yeah. 2294 01:55:03,480 --> 01:55:05,720 Well, because there's, I mean, there's six drivers, there's six 2295 01:55:05,720 --> 01:55:08,360 drivers, which is nice, but that's honestly not very much. 2296 01:55:08,360 --> 01:55:11,880 Like you have a lot more you actually can do a lot more with 2297 01:55:11,880 --> 01:55:15,400 just like the the non scenic grout drivers because of all the 2298 01:55:15,400 --> 01:55:21,240 different things you can roll again, the random small 2299 01:55:21,240 --> 01:55:24,040 adventures. Let's go, let's go with six on 2300 01:55:24,040 --> 01:55:29,040 this, because again, it's not 5 is just is bang average. 2301 01:55:29,280 --> 01:55:31,440 This is the value. The cost is good. 2302 01:55:31,440 --> 01:55:33,960 Beyond that. It is what it is and and I think 2303 01:55:33,960 --> 01:55:39,720 we're good with with that. So even if you do it, you know, 2304 01:55:39,720 --> 01:55:40,760 I'll do it. So let me do it. 2305 01:55:41,640 --> 01:55:43,240 I just don't. Do it anymore? 2306 01:55:43,640 --> 01:55:46,120 Honestly, I'm just. Like, hey, I don't know why you 2307 01:55:46,120 --> 01:55:49,360 ever did because I told you I was going to do it anyway. 39, 2308 01:55:49,360 --> 01:55:51,600 dude, that's a fucking banger score. 2309 01:55:51,600 --> 01:55:54,360 That is one of the higher scores you've had in quite a long time. 2310 01:55:54,680 --> 01:55:57,560 I think one of the ones that got close to that was actually, you 2311 01:55:57,560 --> 01:56:04,120 know what I think like parallels and princesses and maybe here's 2312 01:56:04,120 --> 01:56:06,720 a cerulean. I got some high scores too, but 2313 01:56:07,280 --> 01:56:09,200 I think that is dead on exactly what it should be. 2314 01:56:09,200 --> 01:56:11,680 I fucking love this game. I would I want to play this game 2315 01:56:11,680 --> 01:56:15,120 so bad and I think also that is an extremely playable game. 2316 01:56:15,320 --> 01:56:20,320 If you and me got off of the this stream right now and just 2317 01:56:20,440 --> 01:56:24,240 decided to play the game, we we could just draw a six by six 2318 01:56:24,240 --> 01:56:25,520 grade and fucking play the game right now. 2319 01:56:26,960 --> 01:56:29,400 Three by three, but.
