Hank, I LOVE that you don't create supplement books and you're all about "core" rule books. I'm also tired/overwhelmed with all these extra "supplemental books". Can't wait for those books to arrive! Cheers mate!
I feel the same way. Even OSE with its Dolmenwood or MoSh with its amazing 3rd party stuff can become overwhelming, let alone brands like 5e with their stream of books. It's not like it was during 3e with a book a month but it's still just so much stuff when you want to play more than one game system
SO, I thought of this while watching the video; I kinda bumped on the world at first, just because reality has been so hardcore lately, but in my minds eye, an animated VDS world map available somewhere online would be a gloriously cool thing to see. Just real short 2-5 sec animations for each location as you click on it seems like it would be a really fun digital artifact.
I ordered this book today and I can’t wait to see it in person. Super cool work dude, and awesome job selling it with this video. Trying to decide whether to read the pdf now or wait til I can read the physical book.
Watched this after seeing VDS highlighted by Prof DM. The product blurb talks about initiative-as-armour. Here you talked about armour-as-hp, but how does the initiative system work? Thanks for your products and especially your enthusiasm. There's nothing better in a hobby than love for creativity, and you really spread that.
this "scavenge" flavour and mechanic sounds great, especially in context of a struggle I've had to play a post-apoc mutant rock'n'roll rpg. It solves some major problems with both a scrap economy and HP. I'm very drawn to this. Ironically (because your cool vehicles on the table) wanting to link it into Gaslands chase scenes, stadium events etc , the d6 base also helps. Well done and congratulations Runehammer.
This is a great concept love the simplicity I was tinkering with an idea but using Your armour concept is fecking awesome. May well have to pick this up. Should of ordered both I.C. Master and V.D.S together.
Hey man, Should I buy the Collector's edition of ICRPG or the Master edition? If there a video you can point me to the explains the difference? Thanks! VDS looks BADASS!
Having run the original scenario several times through the years, and even making that video insert that I linked for other people to use of the actual War Pig transmission, I got so very much out of the Sabbath influenced Uber mishmash of techno space hulking, bronze age apocalyptic Satanica... I am sure this is going to up the dose in a truly inspired Manor. Hurry up and take my money
So much flavor (and charisma) and no substance. "The GM doesn't set the difficulty he just rolls!" - > but he does set the number of dice against which the player has to roll. So thus he does set the difficulty. It's basically a pretty standard dice pool opposition roll (like you'd see in Alien rpg) "OMG No HP!!!" - >you just call HP armor and call healing scavenging... Again, cool flavor no mechanical difference. And the items seem to be similar to what you had in ICRPG, as in cool flavor lame mechanics: "you find the super boots of magnetic climbing! Amazing!" - > now you just roll a bit extra on climb checks. You're trying to make +1 items cool without changing anything. Just take a look at some OSR stuff. Make mechanics and items that matter. Give us items that give cool abilities and have drawbacks: Give me a sword that always crits but screams all the time. Or boots of climbing but they're stuck to whatever surface they're on and can't be taken off. Or a incredibly fast space ship that can't turn more than 90 degrees per day. Forget balance and make stuff that matters and forces players to make decisions, not grind gear and loot like an mmo.
Rules systems are lame anyway. I see this more of a campaign setting/source book. When I Dm I use my custom rules set that fits on an index card. Loads of charts and lists are whack AND lame.. We need a new and worse word for it. Like... Whakame.

I love you man!
You have a great mindset, fantastic attitude and make great stuff!

all combats in VDS start with speed rolls... these act as the AC of all combatants AND their turn order...

Got I.C Master ordered just waiting for the store to get it.
Looking forward to it.
I.C is epic.
Summary: Viking death squad is indeed fucking cool!!
lol
Used to love Bewitched!
Are you going to be offering these dice in your store?
I hope there will be another print run of the Index Card Collectors Edition and Viking Death Squad looks awesome.
yep. ICCE print run 2 is in the works already!
@@Runehammer1 Very cool and congrats on your success.
Great video. You inspire me.
Hey man, Should I buy the Collector's edition of ICRPG or the Master edition?

Thanks! VDS looks BADASS!
collectors is currently sold out
@@Runehammer1 Thanks for the heads up

Will there be 2D printable minis for VDS?
nope. The art deck and DIY player-made goodies seem to be taking that seat over.
Would it make sense to just use d4s to track Armors?
sure! i tend to have so many counters and timers all over, i use cards n sharpies when i can to declutter
I would give anything for a chance to buy the VIP bundle! Hope I can catch it in time when you post it on IG
heavy metal coooooool
Yes
Interesting... it seems more Wargame than RPG... looks cool.
Dude where can I get my copy of ICRPG? Modiphius keeps saying stocks aren't in yet.
the US store is a few weeks behind the UK because of shipping bottlenecks
Is it cool? How is this even a question?
