Hi there. Thanks for watching and commenting and finding me. Yes, these books look very good, especially the art work. Playing Batman will be amazing

Agreed. The way the funnel system works to create your 1st level character is great fun

You loved it really 😂

Nothing ever sounds silly with our wonder ‘gift’. We all do what we need to do on a daily basis to fit in the best we can in a world reliant on reading and writing and especially in this hobby we all love Glad you found something that works for you

Hi there. Thank you for finding me and taking the time to write and share your story. Every time I hear from someone new it really saddens me that all our stories are very similar and how the eduction system missed it. That’s really funny regarding the months. Isn’t it amazing that once we think we have control our brains turn a hard right and throw us off without even noticing it 😂 Sorry to hear about your sister too. Are you finding this hobby helps your situation? Thank you for subbing too, you’re a star 👍

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia oh, i've been playing D&D long before the diagnosis so i'd say it's like anything else... a mixed bag. but, like i said about puzzles before, sometimes i instantly solve them 🤷‍♀

@Lodane it’s our gift and our curse

Hi there, thank you for watching and commenting and more importantly, DMing this wonder world to your players. I wish I knew about the minion rules as the scar quest become a bore at the end. The garden is amazing as is the Rat's nest. Oscar stayed until the end in my campaign. I'm interested to know what your players do. For the factions I found it easier once you have the players actually meet all the leaders so you can play out their motivation in real time and then the penny drops for everyone. Through the campaign they all through the Falling Fire was the enemy and by the end, they all joined her. They even collected all the religious artifacts, raised the dragon from under the cathydral and the barbarian flew it into battle when the Silver Order attacked the city. We all had an amazing time. If you need any help or tips, just ask but it sounds like you're doing well (apart from the made prep due to the badly laid out rule book).

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia 😃

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia Initially, my players just wanted to eliminate all the factions. Thieves, Fanatics, Crazy Cultists, and Sneaky Magic Users. Even though they've done jobs for the Academy, Lanterns, and even Queen's Men, they haven't really formed opinions. They haven't interacted with factions other than taking jobs and returning with the loot. My former DM, who is one of my players, told me of my group's frustration with factions. He invented a game called Faction Bingo. He will be passing out cards with questions to be answered for each faction as guidance for future interactions. I hope that will help. The Doomslingers are level 5. They accepted the steal the homework job from academy and are now going to work for Oscar fetching delerium and lilies. In exchange, he will give/sell them special potions , share some of his research, and instruct likely candidates in brewing and maybe some contaminated spells. This week he will be showing off his secret lab. They flattered him so much that he's really puffed up right now. The deep dreg on the table is going to sit up and grab our druid who is insanely interested in turning into monsters and studying their power. Said dreg will deliver a message that he can join them, there is a way. (changing to circle of contamination). It goes after Oscar the torturer who disappears, leaving the party to roll for initiative. I took circle of contamination from Sebastian Crowe's guide and the dreg is actually a dee siren -- magic using fish person. She has surprise and wails out a psychic blast DC15 intelligence save. Failed save, the creature takes 21 psychic damage, and suffers from discordant reverberations for 1 minute. During that time, it rolls a d6 and subtracts the number rolled from all its attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws. The target can make an Intelligence saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. This is the drama moment for my druid and the creepiest bit I've done so far. Even added sound effects. As you can see, I'm excited about my game. Thanks so much for your comment!

@@bemommyb It's great to see that you're having as much of a blast with it as I did. The world is so well put together it really allows the players to go off and do whatever they like, even if the personal goals conflict. I think it's great that they are siding with Oscar, as it helps give the players a 6 action to deal with and have help. Ultimately, they will need help from others if they want to get into and clear the castle. The city wall attack is a pretty good way to bring forward the factions. One of my players (the heir to Drakkenheim personal goal) was really into the Queen of Thieves and openly talked about marrying her which she really used to her advantage. And then he had that Star Wars moment of finding out it was his half sister lol

Thank you for watching and commenting. Agreed, it's best bundle I've seen to date. The map packs are amazing

Firstly, let me say thank you for taking the time to write and share this. I love waking up to people commenting on my videos. You have some really good choices here and I'm glad to see CoC up at the top. I think it's a great default to go to for horror. I have sellers regret over 1000 year old vampire as it left my collection without me playing. I found the book just too beautiful to write in and as a dyslexic, I really struggled to focus enough to play it through. Ars magica is a great game, I think it has some on the best magic rules out there. However, I'm sad for you for buying and then not playing the World of Darkness books. They are (as you can see from this list) wonderful. Oh as for Aliens, which is a great game, check out Mothership which is the reason I let Aliens leave my shelf

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia I went in reverse with Mothership. I read that first and really liked it. Then Alien came out and I dropped Mothership, because Alien's system really worked for me. But now, I'm maybe coming back around. I still have my "0 edition" rulebook, but I'm thinking about grabbing the 1st Ed box of Mothership. I may end up keeping both on my shelf. I totally understand about the focus with Thousand Year Old Vampire. I have struggled to find an in-person group (even before the pandemic) since getting back into the hobby in 2019. So, I've been trying to experiment with solo RPGs. But I have a really hard time focusing on them. I definitely didn't write in my copy, though. It was too beautiful. I used 3X5 cards to write my memories.

@@matthewconstantine5015 Don't get me wrong, I love the Aliens game. I think it's the best version of the Year Zero engine but where i falls down for me is replayability. The cimamatic experiences are some of the best I've played, I really enojy semi co-op games and I still want to play the final part. Why I prefer MS now it it's just so simple and fast and it feels like I can do my own thing with it. Do you have a group now? I'm hearing people saying it's becoming harder and harder to find a game.

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia I don't have an in-person group. I've been playing in an online Traveller game for a couple years, and it's great. But I miss in-person gaming. I'm an introverted recluse by nature, but I actually love the social aspect of sitting around a table with folks, sharing meals, creating stories and memories. My wife & I recently relocated from the outer suburbs to the actual city of Washington DC, so I'm hoping I can find a group here. Though there seems to be an eerie radio silence when it comes to gamers in this town. Dallas, Philadelphia, Chicago, Seattle? Lots of online representation. DC? Nothing. Or someone will say, "I'm in the DC area" and then you find out they're an hour or more drive away, completely unreachable by bus or train. And we don't own a car. An acquaintance has approached me about maybe running D&D (fingers crossed, I can shift that to something like Dragonbane) for her child and his friend. They're very, very young though, and I don't have much experience being around kids. So, we'll see if that happens and how it goes.

I guess that’s the issue with how vast the US is. Your state’s are bigger than my country lol. Though it’s harder enough finding a group but once you do, it’s equally hard keeping it together. Glad you’re finding playing online with Traveller. It’s still to really hit my table, but one day..one day I think 5e is a great place to start with younger players as it’s simple to pick up. Run a 1-4 level mini adventure from the beginners and then once hooked, move to Dragonbane 👍

I agree, some of these modules look amazing and a few a more a bit meh now I’ve spent a bit more time looking. It’s a great idea though putting all these up at once as it brings a lot of attention to a really great game

Hi there. Thanks for finding me and watching my first look at the KS. As I said in the video, these were books I read in college and uni some 30 years ago. As a dyslexic reading is tough but I’m getting back into the books again slowly and will have a lot more read by the time these arrive in 2026 (or so as they KS always have huge delays)

@@DungeonsanddyslexiaI’m not sure why you even bothered to respond to this post. Keep up the great work on your ‘first look, clearly not a review’ video.

Thank you for clarifying. Makes you wonder if the fees are lower but I expect it's because GF is more a pledge manager site than crowd funding....maybe lol

That’s great to read. Completely agree. It’s going to be wonder to read and play with our groups Thank you commenting and watching my channel 👍

Ah ok, thanks. I'm now thinking we must not have played 1st or 2nd, and jumped in on 3rd as I'm sure we bought it due to our love of the World of Darkness

I totally agree. The rule book was bad. However, We played through the downloadable rules and we all really liked it. Well done for completing the Modiphius books. It’s a great feeling when you finally get there I expect the PDF’s will be available from drivethruRPG if you can’t find them on eBay

You’re correct, thanks for commenting and watching. I knew it was based in Sweden (that’s my excuse). I gamed with Andy last night who confirmed he’s backed the KS so looks like I’ll be getting to play these. Have you backed them?

It’s a really fun and in-depth game all at the same time. As the rules are pretty much the same (minus the errata which is online) you can pick up the 5th Ed rules pretty cheap on eBay and in Facebook selling groups. Like you say, this version is costly and a steep price if you and your group dislike it. Thanks for watching and commenting and if you find a copy,let me know how you get on with it

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia It was a good video, so thank you for doing this. Do you think it is worth the 150? If one would appreciate the art and lore of the book? I saw the 5e book on Amazon here, but also the extra in the definitive edition looks like fun stuff.

@@azzy9358It's a very good game and a beautiful edition. Do I think it's worth paying 150 for a book you've never played or read? I'm not sure. That's your call, do you think your group will play it? I think that comes down to you and how much disposible income you have

Thanks for watching and commenting. Vaesen was 12. It would have scored higher if it wasn’t for the Year Zero system which I hate. Love the world and idea behind it. I’m yet to get Gods, I’m waiting for the recent crowdfund to release which I backer. I like Holler too which seems the same kind of world but using the SWADE rules

Thanks for watching and commenting. I used it and it confused me 😂 but saying that, it was over 30 years ago and Dark Sun was be of my first experiences. Maybe it’ll make more sense to me now if I tried it again.

Doh!! So sorry to read this. However, I'm sure it'll come around again as the CoC one that's on there now is exactly the same as the one from 6 months ago. So, fingers crossed for you

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia good to know. Just subbed to keep up

@@Chocopacotaco1413 Amazing. Thank you for the support

It’s definitely one of those games to need to spend several months playing to get the best out of. Hopefully you’ll be able to grab one on the 2nd market so you can get one Thanks for watching and commenting

I like you have everything too apart from the Dwarf players guide as it’s such an amazing game. I’d love to have all the collectors ed. but I think I’d be sleeping with the dogs. Surely it’s worth it…..😏

It’s great for choice . Not so much for the old bank balance. Makes we wonder if we’ve hit the golden age of RPG’s Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

I’ve a very enjoyable read so far. Thanks for watching, commenting and finding me 👍

Thank you for think. I'll take a look and see if I can subscribe so that I know once it comes out. I'm seeing loads of the 2D20 books in the secondhand market so maybe it's time to jump on it

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia the 2d20 Conan system is bleah, but the books are really great at fleshing out the Hyborian Age setting

@@Iulian111 I was thinking more for reference material too as like you, I do not get on with the 2D20 rules. Which is annoying given how much I like the mutant chronicles world

That’s great to hear. I sure is going to be a great game for fan and non fans alike. Welcome to the KS club. What did you pledge at?

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia I did the Commander pledge

@@kevinmikkola7396 Nice. It's where I am too

I do wonder if you’re spot on with the overly complicated. I’m playing it through on Sunday night so at least I can have a few hours with it to see

It would have been better off as a SWADE book, especially since the same company just remade Solomon Kane for SWADE. The only reason this system exists is because they wanted to make it similar with the boardgame and they hoped they'll attract some of that audience towards the RPG.

@@Iulian111 SWADE would have been amazing. That's a great shout. I've backed Soloman Kane and very much looking forward to it arriving. I was talking to my group about it last night after we finished our Witcher campaign and half think it looks great, the others are no sold on it at all

I don't agree with this. The flex die is basically just a critical success mechanic and there are plenty games that both have metacurrencies and dice explosions. Savage Worlds for instance and even D&D. When it comes to stat numbers and stat dice, I'm waiting for the in-game justifications before I conclude. A simple, and thematically appropriate justification, could be that number is raw talent and dice is training. Very appropriate for a Conan game.

I think we’re ok over in Europe as Conan is in the public domain so it’s easy to use. It just needs to be licensed elsewhere. I agree, stick with what you have and love. The cult of the new or FOMO is a terrible habit of this hobby. We never liked the 2D20 system after having a bad time with mutant chronicles os sadly I’ve never played that version of Conan. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍

That can't happen. It is owned by the swedish license holder. And yes in Europe this is all public domain (but trademark is valid)

Ah ok. Thanks for clarifying

In a recent designer interview, the new RPG designer says (if there’s enough ongoing interest) he envisions about 20x adventures for Conan corresponding to the published books. So this RPG may have a natural lifecycle anyhow… leaving room for a new licensee after this RPG run fulfills its designer vision. (Things could change, but that’s the snapshot view today.)

@@joerama sounds great. Thanks for sharing this. Do you have a link you can share?

Amazing, thank you for confirming the size. I’d forgotten about their exclusive only stuff. Sam that VAT’a going to kill

What ever you pledge be prepared to add on 50% for taxes and shipping, that is the way of things now.

@@davidwatts1871 I think I’ll end up just backing at PDF for now and setting what happens in the PM

It certainly does. I need to get it play tested first before I go all in as these taxes on KS really hurt

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia - yeah. That's why I'm strictly a 'wait for retail' guy. I see quite a few projects I'd like to support, but my wallet just couldn't take the hit.

It’s nice when we get the option knowing it’s coming to retail like this looks like it will. The Discworld books on the other hand will cost me a lot 😔

I’m mostly with you which is why I’m not really a fan of KS exclusive products. It makes sense from a company as it reduces the risk but for a customer, the VAT and taxes really hurt

I totally agree 👍 thanks for finding my channel and commenting

Thank you for watching and commenting and especially clarifying the difference between editions and print runs. I can’t wait get this to the table

Glad your getting into Castles and crusades. The Players handbook and Monster and Treasures books are all you need to run the game. Castle keepers guide will be full of optional rules and ideas to make your world better. And you should run the Undying War for your group 👍

@@wilmartinez1 Perfect, thank you. I started the slow read though the books last night. You're correct, it's the perfect place to start with a prewritten campaign. Think I got luckily with buying the whole set at once

Hell ya. It's going to be a long wait until the end of next year. Thanks for watching and commenting

You are welcome. I'm glad it helped. Thank you for watching and commenting

That’s the one. I couldn’t get archipelago out of my head 😂 Ghost Mountain does look amazing as does Holler. If I buy them, do you want to play them?

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia - Don't tease me! As long as the stars are aligned, that would be amazing.

I’m on it. Though can’t find Holler now lol

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia - Adrian, I'll find you on Facebook and message you there

found it, thank you

Glad you got this, it’s a great deal. I love DDT as I know you do but I was yet to grab Pulp so just downloading them all now

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia - I like Pulp a lot, but if I'm honest its something that I feel you can do with a little imagination on your own. I'm intrigued by the solo play books in there, I have one (Frost I think), but never got around to trying it - Hoping for something along the lines of the old Fighting Fantasy books.

I did wonder if you can homebrew it from the main game. Double the hp and you’re away 😂 Yes, I think that’s the idea of those solo campaigns. Several games now have solo adventures in starter sets to help the DM learn the game

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia - A lesson I've yet to learn, is not to post when i have a migraine - So if it looks like i was implying the books useless, i apologise. It's got great things in it, I just meant some things are easy to do without it, as you've put there. Double the hp, magic points too and drop a few Dr Strange style spells in for fun. Watch Indiana Jones and Big Trouble in Little China, combine for a fun adventure.

Sorry to hear that. Don't worry, I was expecting a little more to it than just the hp. I've get to reading it soon as love both IJ and BTILC

It’s a bloody great deal

Dam, sorry to read you missed out. Humble bundle do some amazing offers which is why I like to talk about the ones I love. Though I’m sure it’ll come around again as I’ve just noticed a Call of Cthulhu one I’m sure I’ve seen before Thank you for subbing and commenting though.

Ok great. Thanks for the view and taking the time to write this out to update my knowledge. Like you, I’m looking forward to this

Ah, bugger. Now you say 😂 I’ve already bought them. Either way I’m having a good read even at my slow pace and happy to have them back again without paying the crazy eBay prices Are you saying picking up GE codex’s might be with doing too or are their specific GW lore books to grab? I’m a little intimidated by the options from Gw and haven’t a clue where I’d start

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia Sorry to tell you this but there really aren't any good ways of learning Warhammer lore anymore because games workshop writers often contradict each other and even flat out retcon established lore on a whim. Any lore you learn could be retconned out of existence at any time. Some games workshop employees are even hostile and insulting to fans who bother to learn the lore. So there really aren't any books to help you learn the lore. It's all subject to change and nothing is cannon because the gw authors don't care. As for the Deathwatch RPG, those books are especially non-cannon because they were made by fantasy flight games not games workshop and the ffg RPG books have always been mostly ignored by gw. For example the version of the Deathwatch in the ffg RPG is very different than the Deathwatch in the black library novels. Sorry to disappoint you but I wanted to warn you what to expect

It’s kind of what I thought after speaking with people in the model hobby over the years. That’s ok, I can kind of create my own lore and luckily, neither of my RPG group know much about. Thanks for taking the time to respond

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia you're welcome. If you are running a Warhammer RPG you're probably best off just using what is in the RPG books and ignoring everything else. One small warning, the Deathwatch RPG core rulebook was printed with errors and fantasy flight games released errata to fix the mistakes. The errors didn't ruin the game and it was still playable but the errata helped. I don't know if what you are getting contains those errors but you might want to look up fantasy flight games Deathwatch errata, it might help you when playing the game.

Ok perfect. Thanks again. I’ll take a look at what print version I have and then grab the errata

Oh, forgot to mention! All the FFG 40K RPG books were written in collaboration with a couple of Black Library authors and some of the team at Forgeworld (now called "Specialist Games," they make the 'other' games of Games Workshop that isn't 40k or Age of Sigmar).

Amazing, thank you for this. Rogue Traders sounds a lot more interesting now it's not just "space pirates" and DeathWatch is the power game i'd hoped for. Just downloading them all now to get added to my ipad so I can start the long, hard read of it all. Glad the novels have a Space Wolves book too. More reading for me. Thank you again for watching and commenting, I'll try to get some of this reviewed in the future too

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia Yeah, we used to call it "Mix of Star Trek, East India Company and conquistadors in 40K"

@@boyanpenev9822 Perfect, I'm in!! JUst to make my players join in. However, at $30, even if they never play, it's great reading and source material for other games

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia Oh yeah, rogue trader lore is somewhat less dark than regular 40k (you powerful and authorized to bend quite a few rules) but you can do some pretty awesome things there.

I couldn’t agree more. I know they had issues in the early days with larger (600 plus page books) but I’ve not have any issues from DTRPG My original SLA book fell to pieces in days Thanks for watching and commenting

That’s a bloody good shout. I should just pick up Holler as I already know the system and it’ll save me a load of shelf space and money 👍

Thank you mate.

Thank you watching and commenting. I have tried it and I didn't get on with it but that's our fault. We ended up buying and playing "Blizt" decks and from what I've recently been told, is not the format to play so it's something I plan to go back and try

I'm not sure you'll see that on here, I've watched a few reviews and I do not think it's for either of my groups. Pathfinder 2e and the new core books on the otherhand......as 3.5 was always are favourite D&D

Thank you and thank you for still being here

It reads just like DCC, and even has the 0 level funnel, which is half the fun of the book. Other than that, seems pretty close to Deadlands That pirate COC books good. Picked it up on a whim but glad i did

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia - Also have you seen SLA Borg?

No, I completely missed it. I've just checked it out and it looks pretty cool. Did you back it?

@@Dungeonsanddyslexia - I didn't, but I'd spent all my pocket money on another hobby, ready for the years events. I do intend to grab it when it drops, looks like they had no issues with funding.
