Excellent video. I really enjoy your work. I bought the pdf version. I love spreadsheets so I built one to run parts of the game. In combat, I only have to type in two figures. One for the hit location and one for the damage. On the combat tracker, I only need to choose the monster from a drop down menu and it will fill in the rest of the tracker. The trickiest part was developing the correct formulas to take monster abilities into account. The Adventurer sheet is also largely automated and I also have incorporated the mapping so don't need to draw a map. I thought about uploading the spreadsheet to BGG but not sure many would want to use it. I still roll the dice and your video, has reminded me there is particular satisfaction in playing with physical components. Didn't mean to turn a comment into a saga. Thanks again for the pleasure your hard work gives to we gamers.
@mdcs1992 Thanks for the comment and explanation of all you’ve done for the game. Personally I don’t like any technology with my gaming but I see why people do and this game in particular does have a lot of micromanagement that would be nice sometimes not to have to do.
Thank you. After watching this and Rob Tabletop's recent play through, I've downloaded the v2.2 rules to give this a go. I don't have the dungeon mapping stuff so I'm going to houserule using some Atmar's decks and use a percentile to detetmine to the room colour
35:53 That happens when your character escapes, not the monster. 44:23 You can cast this spell just now, once monster reaction is rolled. 1:04:38 Ever tried Legacy of Dragonholt?
I'm glad you mentioned your thoughts on the Dragon Armor Adventure book. I was not going to get it because I also don't care for choose your own adventure type games/books. I will get it based on your comments. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome! I’m so glad to hear that you are enjoying Scarlet Heroes. And yes! Edwinna lives on! Thanks for watching despite YT not telling you I was back with another vid.
6:24 Makes me wish Tiny Epic Quest had little hourglass as one of attachable items, so I can move it around on time track... On the other hand, lantern is just as good thematically...
I absolutly love this game and learned lots from the different books. Also I like to place all tiles on table on grid face down so the characters can move through areas naturally as I flip them up.
Cool. One thing he does which isn't great is to spread out new rules into other books... There may be a place online that collects the rules that aren't in the base game and if so, you might want to look that up so you can use some--but not all--of them in the base game. Even without them, it's a neat system, one that I've enjoyed more than Four Against Darkness (to name one game to which it has been compared).
@@GeekGamers01 I only have 1 video left of your D100 series to watch. Dungeon Lost Tome. Watching now. Great videos. Thanks for the time you put into them. :)
Where did you purchase your copy? It looks like you can either print it yourself or have it done at Game Crafter. Regardless it does not look like the Mapping Game includes the Game Tracker or Spell cards.
I do believe the cards and tracker are sold separately. If not at Game Crafter, I'd go to the designer's website to look around/ask: www.mk-games.co.uk/
I've just come across this game. Do you start with any pips shaded in the lever track?? What happens when you come across a lever door and have to roll?
A bit late to the party on this video, but as an ex-D&D DM and now board game collector, I'm drawn to the physical tiles and counters of the Mapping add-on. I'm wondering how much this limits the randomness of the gameplay, as the physical tiles will only contain a fixed number for room colours and have each will have only a set number of exits. I wonder if it's possible on a large dungeon to use up all of one colour tile ( say red). so for the rest of the adventure, will have no further fixed encounters?
I suppose that could happen but the game itself is both programmed (in the sense of you're doing quests and are likely to end the quest before running out of those tiles) as well as very open-ended so if you were just playing a random mega dungeon you could do what you wanted regardless of the tile color. Make your own table, for example, to dictate whether there is an encounter or not.
Not sure exactly what you are asking when you say “drawing the map”- do you mean just when you are playing? I presume the same way you would “save” a board game-by leaving it out. If you didn’t have the space or the time between sessions was too long, you could always photograph the map and keep the tiles used in their own baggie for easier restoration.
@@GeekGamers01 I meant that if you don't play with the mapping game components, and are simply drawing the map out on the paper map grid, its seems easy to "save" if you have to put the game away, because everything is written on paper with pencil and you can just pick back up. With the mapping cards, like you said, it seems you have to keep it set up or take a picture? I was wondering if there was an official way to save a game mid delve when using the board game components to this game. Sorry for the confusion.
Hmmm. Really depends on what “pleasant” is to you. I’ve really enjoyed the tiles and tokens BUT (as you know) I’m not a minis person. For someone who is, the absence of them would be more pronounced than with just pen and paper. I’d start with the free download and see how you like it. My only advice on that would be to house rule the early training missions so you aren’t always encountering the same monsters, as that gets boring. Playing a few encounters will give you the sense of whether adding physical components would be a benefit to you. The “choose your own adventure” module is also great for getting a ready-made narrative that has more of an RPG feel than any other printed material in the CYOA genre as far as I know.
And... if you are going to purchase something I would consider the main book plus the adventurer’s companion, as the rules in that for quick starting a character with experience are quite useful-allowing you to skip the 5 training quests if you wish. (Tho even if you use quick start character creation I would do a sample lower level room exploration just so you know how things work.)
You’re not the only one with bad luck. My character completely died on the very first training dungeon. Due to a combination of poor armour. Extremely high rolls for enemy encounters, low damage rolls when I was able to hit enemies. (Which I seemed to have very little luck with) and high power attacks from enemies (and of course failing to escape). Thankfully so far my 2nd hero has been doing much better. I did find it better to slightly modify the initial character creation by rolling for weapons and armour first before selecting the experience scores. (Probably not supposed to but i didn’t want another hero to die)
Yes some modifications to the rules are in order. It was fun, maybe, initially to struggle with a character like that but it doesn’t make the prospect of going back to the game with a different character as enticing
@@GeekGamers01indeed. I saw the length of the video and thought id expedite the information by asking a question instead of losing an hour of my time. You got the view and a like so everybody wins except me. Seeing as you didnt answer my question..lol.
Isn't it better using card then rolling? I have this idea in my head but by this way you can't encounter a room twice or more just one time by game as like you roll for room... The same thing for the other stuff like geographic feature, monster and so on....
Pierre Abou Naoum You could encounter a monster as much as you wanted if you put the tokens back. Personally I like the fact that I won’t see duplicates but to each his own. It’s true you can’t go through rooms more than once, however. The geographic tile overlays have two of each so you can get those more than once. Personal preference obviously on whether or not this way of playing the game feels like an enhancement. To me it definitely does.
@@GeekGamers01 actually for me too but when I thought about this I mean make tiles. I think the publisher do this in purpose by making us roll for duplicate rooms and so on. When I see your video I confused ... That's all. If this what he want from the beginning he can just say oh guys when you encounter the same room reroll...I don't know...and that's why I don't make rooms as tiles...
Pierre Abou Naoum I don’t think the main point of the mapping is so you won’t duplicate tiles-I think it’s just a different way of experiencing the game.
There is no book with the mapping game; there is just the rulebook with the mapping game. I store all my d100 books in the box from the mapping game so perhaps you saw me take one of those out. All his books are available and explained on his website.
I only have the physical edition and I don't really want to bother scanning the book, is there anywhere I can download that 3rd edition player reference?
Hard to get hardback version of this game in uk...shame cause it looks great,I just brought 4 against darkness, so will make do with that for now, nice video as usual 😁
@@GeekGamers01 I know, but I'm fussy about things like this, I like to have it as a nice book...but may have to go down printed option,I have mistfall to play this weekend, at your advice, so that will keep me busy(only cost £16.99)bargain 😜
@@GrungefolkBoy2010 Totally get it... BTW I am playing Mistfall right now too... about to post about it on BGG (and that's where my little cup holders were and why I couldn't show them in the d100 vid).
Hi, the book will be printed in the uk, if ordered to a uk destination. I order the proof copies of the HB and the SB prior to them being listed on Drive Thru and to date they have the printers mark in the uk, milton keynes. hope this helps.
I like and dislike the board game components. Like becouse i like board games and make easy to track the stuff, dislike becouse it needs big space and when you place a tile that tile cant never be rolled again... Not the same as Rolling on a table content I like phisical Things but lately im moving to digital. I bought one ipad for that and is the better thing to get all organized, easy to Wright and erease... Is a must have. You can Draw on it and paint without fear to mess and you can split screen and have a extra TAB for the sheet, book rules and the writting.
@@IAcePTI This looks interesting. Which version are you using for this? Are those just jpg that you are making notes over? What I did was buy the print n play version and import it into Table Top Simulator. I then copy and paste whichever tile gets drawn to create the dungeon and replace the original back into the draw pile and reshuffle so that every room is again available for every draw. I did this simply because it's such a pain to draw out the dungeon rooms using the mouse.
@@Harvestersz Im using a program called GoodNotes 5 on one iPad pro 2018 with Apple pen 2. I draw on him and write with the pen. You can copy paste images to and write on top.
