Lol. I mean getting to chat with Jeff was really cool. He is my favorite living game designer.

Thanks Dangar! I’m thankful I was able get some of it out there.

lol some of the video is indeed whatever comes out of my mouth, and that doesn’t always make sense…. Rather than an awkward hard cut, if I can laugh at myself, I do that lol

He really is. I told him, I’d be jacked just to talk to him, but knew some of my subs would enjoy it as well. Thanks!

100%. This is the equivalent of learning to drive with a stick shift first. It takes just a little more patience, but in the end you are more prepared, and you are able to drive the greatest automobiles in the world(as well as the cheap new stuff😉).

@@booksbricksandboards783 haha, great analogy. As I'm British (and like the vast majority of Brits learned to drive on a stick shift) I'm most definitely down with your assessment!

@@davidsmith4749 yeah, I learned on a stick, and I’m really glad I did. You guys in the UK got the driving thing figured out!

@KhthonArchon That's a great summary of the game and who would enjoy it. It's one of my favorites.

Well said, Hyperborea is my favorite version of “D&D”.

Unfortunately after the recording cut, we tried to restart multiple times and it wasn’t working so never got that far.

Jeff has been putting out material for the game for over a decade, I think he plans to continue as long as we keep buying it (which we will, let’s be honest😀). Despite the tech frustrations I was glad I got a chance to get this out there. Thanks for watching.

The art on the Hyperborea modules is always awesome, but having them in hardcover would be amazing! Well worth the investment.

First of his products I've gotten, seen him interviewed several times.

I had the old 2nd edition book, which was a massive hunk of paper, that was my first. Since then I’ve picked up everything I could. Modules are very good. Thanks for watching.

@@booksbricksandboards783 We had our show today, I need to plug yours next time, I mod on Diversity and Dragons.

This is the one using the SAGA system. It was also used for a take on Dragonlance. It was actually a neat system (I had both as a kid), but it didn’t last all that long.

Yeah, I have been “accumulating” for a while. Love the whole Evil Dead franchise, and of course Big Trouble in Little China is my favorite movie of all time, so had to paint those minis. A lot of my RPG sessions end up either borrowing from, or outright taking place in, those two franchises.

Lol, yep. Not sure you remember, but I drew out the whole resolution chart, all the character creation tables, and also the the ability modification tables which you had taped inside your book’s cover (from the Advanced Set, I presume you had a friend that you had copied them from). Thanks for chiming in CDM, and yes, thanks for introducing me to an amazing game.

I think that the Yellow Box is actually better as a game than the Advanced Set. I like a lot of what the Advanced Set adds, but as a standalone game it just had some rough edges I didn’t like. I’m glad it will be in my grubby little hands again soon, but if I had to choose any of the three… Revised Basic Set would be it.

Just received my Marvel superhero,s advanced set the cards are missing oh well it's still great to read the manuals again and I also just ordered the yellow box set taking a break from Dungeons and dragons!

@ playing it with my son this weekend! Such a good game!

Just ordered the cards for that Marvel super hero,s advanced set and the days of future past supplements. I keep getting this weird feeling twelve year olds were way smarter back then the amount of reading required to play these games is phenomenal...when compared to a dungeons and dragons game they go through every detail with regards to life as a hero alter ego,s and day to day settings for instance the judges book has some information you wouldn't find even in a marvel universe comic about hero,s and villans!

@ it was common back in the day to have a lot of IP universe expansion in RPG’s because those tended to be the detail focused fans. Star Wars for example, I hear that when Timothy Zahn started writing the Heir to the Emperor books, was given the West End Games books as a “bible” for lore.

As did I with the Revised Box. Such a good game.

Sorry, not sure if there is a question here, trying to figure out if you were looking for an answer. If you can provide some additional explanation I will do my best to answer. Thanks for watching!

I found that it holds up pretty well! Thanks for sharing.

I’m leaning back towards that myself… I thought it was as a kid, liked it better than Heroes Unlimited, Champions, DC, and Saga… then I took 20 years off and dove into Sentinel Comics RPG, and thought it was… after revisiting, I am pretty sure Marvel is the better game, definitely the more complete system.

Minis are Zombicide. Buildings are Black Site Studio. Cars are random Wal-Mart toys. They do have a Walking Dead minis game, but the cost per mini is MUCH higher than the Zombicide game. One Zombicide core box and you have what you need.

I’m going to run a little solo soon. Might put it on video and put it on the channel, just depends on what my schedule looks like. A lot of good memories with that game.

Yeah, the limitations was from the Advanced Set I believe. For the video I was sticking with Revised, but it was pretty free form anyways. I really have to say I am tempted to say I was wrong a year ago when I said Sentinel Comics was the best Supers RPG. Marvel is so clean and fast, it appeals to my efficient nature. I also have to say, having a rogues gallery of every Marvel villain is pretty dang sweet! Thanks for watching. I played Champions and Heroes Unlimited, as well as Mayfair DC, never tried heroes and heroines.

The maps were amazing. I got a lot of mine from my cousin and he had them all taped together, because the streets did actually line up on them. Very cool stuff!

I forgot just how fun it could be to slam a villain 3 areas across the map into a building. This was really good at reflecting a time in comics when they were even less grounded and more innocent. Great time with this game in my youth, and it is really holding up now.

Thanks David! Not a dumb question at all… my only beef with Savage Worlds at all is in their edition branding… I have a whole video on the different editions, but basically, SWADE is Savage Worlds Adventure Edition, and it is the new version… the prior versions had a few differences (like a Charisma derived stat), but they were pretty compatible still… as an example, all of the Lankhmar books were created for the prior edition, but the conversion document is only a couple pages… to cover 6-7 books worth of conversion. So they are mechanically very close. A close analogy would be BX D&D to AD&D… they are different versions of the same game, but for experienced gamers it is not hard to convert on the fly. The biggest change in editions for me, is that the new companions are covering a lot more ground, because a lot of what was introduced in the old companions was rolled into the SWADE core, which in turn left room for better use of the companion pages.

@@booksbricksandboards783 Thanks for the overview, Justin! I'll go watch your video that covers the versions. Good analogy using DnD versions to explain the difference 🙂

@ I have a Savage Worlds playlist, I cover the editions fully in the “Buyers Guide” and also more briefly in “One System to Rule Them All.”

If you use the retro clone, FASERIP Advanced, little issues like that are improved. It’s a good time!

@booksbricksandboards783 oh snap it's free too

@@Ike_of_pyke yep. It was good enough that I printed the whole thing out.

Lol. This was my primary hobby as a kid.

That’s awesome! Video is underperforming my normal videos on views and engagement, but it was definitely worth it if it got someone to revisit the game again! Thanks for sharing man!
