Informal Setup Video for Dragons Down

This walks through how to setup a game of Dragons Down. 0:30 When mentioning the terrain setup cards, I failed to mention the matching civilization title cards placed, random side up, directly above them in the video. 10:56 Metal coins are in addition to the cardboard coins, not instead of counters. I also neglected to grab my dagger from the items deck.

In this playthrough, George and I play the game without a lot of commentary - just playing. This should give you a decent idea as to game length, etc, not including fumbling around in TableTop Simulator.

    The discovery tokens with the plus icon: Does N&L replace (or add to) the discovery tokens from the core game with ones that have the plus icon? If you are drawing an extra wilderness token for them, is there an extra token in the set for each one?

    39:20 The rule that allows to use one-use items whenever is brilliant in its simplicity and intuitiveness. I like how Scott always goes for the simpler possible rule which will not disrupt the flow of gameplay.

    Quick note: An astute observer pointed out that combat should have ended after I summoned the Elemental in round one using the enchantment cube and then everyone missed in round 2 of combat - two rounds of combat with no wounds or death and combat ends. My apologies. I was too wrapped up in my explanation.

      A great point. Some people have wondered if the half-orc was a "better" lineage. But, the Natives & Legends expansion makes it clear that context matters. Some heroes are better in civilization; some better in the wilderness. And certainly the native group matters.

    Cant believe I did not hear of this game until now! It is exactly what I am looking for. Count me in as going All in your upcoming Kickstarter! With some more marketing, I am sure you will attract a lot more interested gamers like myself who are not familiar with Magic Realm. I only came across this game by accident by searching for another one otherwise it would never have entered my radar. Good luck on the next Kickstarter. Hope it comes soon!

  • @NigelBree
    @NigelBree 5 місяців тому

    Scott still has great T-shirt game 🙂 Honestly I backed this mainly just for the extra terrain tiles - laying the map tiles and seeing the land unfold was one of the parts of Magic Realm I loved the most. But the big extra collection of items and treasures is just a welcome bonus. The one part of DD I'm waiting until I get the physical game to see how it works for me is whether I need something else to give me a tiny bit more of the dungeon-crawling feel I crave on top of the exploration which this will deliver in spades. If it doesn't, I'll probably just homebrew something out of 4AD or Tiny Epic Dungeons to function as a prequel to help with the lineage/class selection - basically have a little (soloable) "Call to Adventure" part of the hero's journey to give backstory for the main adventure on the DD board (and sort-of function as a more playable equivalent to the character creation in Traveller or the FGU games like Space Opera).

    So glad you had great time at Gen Con and it must be such a great feeling for you to have this come together! As great as Magic Realm was for me and my friends in the 80's I'm super excited that Dragon's Down will now let that experience be had by a whole new generation of gamers. I particularly loved building new lands every time in MR and the tileset you've put together here looks amazing.

    How much would be impacted in the game if those cards that cause infamy were removed? I am interested in this game, but the quests were too dark for what I would play. Yet they seem small in comparison of the theme of the rest which I like. Would they be something I could leave in the box to experience the game in a lighter / family friendly way?

    I agree on minis unless for a skirmish game , not for board game adventures, storage, weight , painting. However if I already have them I use them e.g. Fantasy Series 1 from Blacklist games covers most enemies and character combos in this game.

    Scott you put the spell back in the Deep treasure tile, early on when you were volunteering to fill George's spell book. The no tutorial/explanation lasted a few turns. To switch player focus have use the TTS turn object switched on for this mod.

  • @roygon
    @roygon Рік тому

    The videos have been good but 1) the audio is an issue - Scott is so quiet and everyone else is so loud so when you adjust the volume to be able to hear Scott your ears get blown out when anyone else speaks making it almost unwatchable and 2) 1080p would be nice so that you can see things more clearly. Also, I would like to see Scott play a multi player game on his own - maybe show some PVP, try some interesting spells and strategies, take on a group of monsters with multiple characters at once etc

  • @j3errym
    @j3errym Рік тому

    Maybe cool if you all check your sound levels at the start because Scott is quiet but the others and guests are booming and for me it's unpleasant, so maybe Scott increase the volume and then can reduce it without losing his important narrative. If OBS used to record you could lower volume on the discord stream.
