I once had one of my party members get impregnated by a royal face hugger we weren’t alive for much longer

If theres a reason why I would not play this is becuase the layout seems like a damn mess

Thank You .

Oh thank whatever god heard my prayers. I wanted to try this game out since my normal ttrpg group are wanting to try out a different system (path/starfinder, the dishonoured rpg, and now this) and I bought both the core rule book and players guide. I almost shat myself when I saw how THICCC the core rulebook was. I find the text a little too small to read comfortably and since my friends want ME (the dumbest of the group) to run a oneshot to give this a try. I am trying my hardest to read the two books I have (I need to get a magnifying glass) this has made learning the game so much easier for me

put my big dnd campaign on pause due to a lack of certain players atm so gonna host a monster of the week game but doctor who themed

Been looking into this and thinking of getting the starter set for a good intro into the system. I like how this system seems natural and more realistic in how player characters learn skills, acquire knowledge, and gain experience. I get the impression that gameplay is more fluid. Anyway, excellent primer into the system.

Just learned about this ttrpg. Im.very interested in running it. I may buy the core book at my local table top gaming store 😅

Please do the intrigue one!

Excellent video! Thanks for helping break this down. My starter set just came in the mail today!

This system is so streamlined you could get the game in the morning, read the rules, look at a few UA-cam videos and if you have some GM experience under your belt, you can be running it for your group in the evening with a high degree of confidence that you are not totally butchering the rules. I let my players roll up a couple of characters each and put them straight into the one shot Ypsilon 14. Their last adventure had been in Burning Wheel, which was essentially a magical version of medieval Europe and a hardcore role master game based loosely around Warhammer 40k. My pitch, imagine you are in the Alien's universe with all their technology, and you run into The Thing. Pick the character you want to begin with, and you have the option of your other character being revived from hypersleep if that character dies, or you want to run two characters at once. By giving them that option, I don't really need to make it explicit that this is a deadly scenario. As a GM I loved Burning Wheel, but for half of my players, figuring out how to engage with the belief system consumed too much game time. By making life so much more expendable, it is refreshing to focus on the more day to day survival. I don't know how this will play out in the long term, that's something that only time will tell.

You forgot to mention the value of "Running Away" LOL

Looking forward to seeing you at PAX West!

Was good to see something posted on the channel, it's been a while. Hope you all are doing well!

You must speak more distinctly to be DM. Use a Cambridge English Accent and speak more dramatically. Speak like David Attenborough and with a deeper voice

Thanks for deciphering this game. I'll stick to the RPGs I already have.

great video!

Thanks

This is the kind of video I needed to help explain the game. Thank you!

for a how to play video this really didn't teach us anything

Really appreciate the honest in-depth review. Especially as someone who does not read dense material well. And respect someone not getting compensation for passion. #subscribe

I’ve just received the Starter Set, is this set compatible with Reforged?

I like the breakdown. I really like the nuance of the system and how it abstracts a lot of the standard things DND doesn't bother to, and encumbrance actually matters and can be changed to avoid getting tired? That's good game design.

Thanks for a really informative review. My daughter bought this game; I'm trying to help her understand it for her, but the willpower/magic thing was hard to fathom. Really seems like game-breaking to me. Strange that it hasn't been fixed after so many years? There's a difference between being challenging and unplayable. Only upside is that you could play it totally without magic, like a medieval simulation game. Sort of like Kingdom Come. But then you probably should omit or scale down the supernatural monsters as well.

So it's basically wfrp witout w?)

Thanks - I will be playing at GenCon ‘24 and it’s appreciated to quickly know the basics

the storyteller killed my vampire, because she was too badass for the plot. It ruined my 1 and only Masquerade experience.

One of my favorite TTRPG and a wonderful overview. Thank you! As always an amazing video!

I missed the Kicksrarter.

Shaddam IV: “Bring in that floating fat man, The Baron.”

Thanks for the review! Just wanted to drop a comment to help you out in the Algorithm :)

yes you should play it. i have. love it. im playing a teamster with a robotic arm. really cool setting. high tension feel.

A rare non-fluff piece RPG review. There's something weird going on in the RPG industry. It's as if most publishers are breaking their games on purpose and in a way that's hard to spot unless you actually play them. Maybe a really solid RPG causes problems with long term profit? Maybe this next RPG we all rush out to buy will be the one.

From what I've seen, it's easy to play. Step 1: roll characters. Step 2: start the adventure. Step 3: Roll characters. Step 4: continue adventure. Step 5: roll cha... you get the picture.

Seems noone gives a flying turd about dhead fox and his warhammer house rules

Great video, tho ...maybe using the actual dice in place of your finger could help a little XD. Great explanation for the "Conflict rules"

Will this solo well?

You've doing a how-to-play overview, and just finished a campaign, but might not even get all the rules right? Why wouldn't you wait to make the video with better notes/script or edit it so that it is 100% correct?

The way you pronounce Zweihänder is a little funny to me. You pronounce the händer part correctly but you pronounce zwei with the anglo w instead of the germantic w which is a v sound. It's a common mistake so I'm not trying to dog on you for it it. when I was first learning German words I use to pronounce it Z W Ei Hander instead of Z V Ei Händer so forgive me if I take a little humor in the mixed pronunciation of Z W Ei Händer. 😂

I wonder what it would look like to offer each player the ability to earn Willpower each successful day of exploring, or maybe when the team does cool stuff as a unit? Otherwise, yep, that tends to make magic users feel rather useless. Thanks for the commentary!

Would spell casting work with a Power Points system, instead of Willpower? A spellcaster would get a certain amount each day. Maybe a sleep action recovers them.

Thanks for this. I was surprised to see that more than one 'Trained' level skills can apply to the same stat roll. Does that mean that if Zoology (+10) AND Pathology (+15) both applied to a stat roll, that I would get +25?

How could there be no distinction between small damaging but hard to hit monsters and large damaging but easy to hit? Nothing in your attack roll accounts for the size or evasiveness of your target.

do you need dungeon master for this?

The background cricket sound is sooooo distracting

What program did you use to make the mock battle map? Looks super useful!

Those 5e books are an eye sore, but your collection looks pretty good.

I wish it would be translated into Polish... I would love to play Zweihander, but not everyone at the table (including me) is fluent in English.

I'm not sure I like the immortality option. I like the idea that anyone with a shank is a lethal opponent. I'm not sure what are meaningful consequences short of death aside from permanent disfigurement that is disgusting to behold or a permanent, crippling injury. But I do like that combat is faster and that any weapons, including knives and daggers, can be lethal.

Okay dude, great vid. But you need to work on the Audio. Even at Max volume through headphones I have issues hearing you.
