    You certainly did not lie when you said production value has been increased. Looks very good.

    The thing I like the most about the game is that a single dice roll carries a lot of information. I love it. Also, very intrigued about the magic system.
    This season is looking great in every sense. More, please!

    Had to avert my eyes during the AI animation, it just became too weird. Highly prefer still images, minis, or just narration.
    The intro was otherwise great, as was the rest of the episode. Love your use of the GME, and am interested to learn more about your system. Some aspects I think are really promising (e.g. information-dense rolls, wounds die, freeform magic). I'm excited for the season!

      The old intros with minis were so charming, I'd even take it if he went with full-on stage/halloween costumes. Because even ignoring the ethical concerns, there's just something so soulless about AI generated images. I'd take the cheap & corny any day over the lack of any human touch.

    We're back let's gooo! Really excited, the system seems awesome and it's really cool that you're releasing it!
    A lot of people already said it but the intros with the miniatures felt a bit more real to the actual play and let us use our imaginations more with the characters, I don't think the AI art intro worked for that haha
    Still awesome to see the production value, hope you take this as feedback cause this is my favorite RPG show!

    • @Mad3bunny
      @Mad3bunny 6 місяців тому +3

      AI art is a mixed bad. I'm fine if it is for a season opening but after that I'm happy with the miniature opening because it defintely gives a more personal touch. :3

      @Llesor 6 місяців тому +2

      @@Mad3bunny Yeah! And don't get me wrong, I'm glad he tried something new, that's how you improve your content! Just felt that the miniatures gave a bit more "heart" to the intros overall.

  • @whaarp
    @whaarp 7 місяців тому +12

    Love the system and the plot.
    A bit of feedback as a channel lover: take it nice and slow, I know you wanna limit time and episodes but this feels a tadbit rush-ey with setting up scenes, rules explanation, creating mood and overall voice flow.
    Now just as a personal taste, the whole AI + the website for the game and the text presenting it, is all quite marketing-ey and feels in contrast with the intimistic aspect of the Sage's Library (which the game is sort of the "avatar" of), the soloplay, the creativity etc.
    I think the genuine and the child-like enthusiasm is a very strong asset of yours and the channel, and feels a bit lost in the whole process launched with the season... that being said, I understand it's a lot of stress to get it right... and I might be wrong. I still pledged the 1 buck out of love for the channel, but I wanna voice the reasons why I like being around here :)

  • @Gidizz
    @Gidizz 7 місяців тому +6

  • @shawnwolf5961
    @shawnwolf5961 7 місяців тому +6

    Loved the episode. The introduction was really cool, love the animations to it. The system itself is very, VERY interesting to be sure. I really quite enjoy your explanation of the magic system, it is reminiscent of the Divinity series. The combat looks like a lot of fun too.
    That said, I do have one minor quibble. I would like you to do longer episodes. I much preferred your lengthier ones from earlier seasons. My reasoning here is, as someone else said, the explanations feel a bit rushed, and when you limit them to 40ish minutes, I don't feel you leave enough time to do justice to certain things that I know we would love to see--and it takes away from your narration too. So please reconsider the design choice of smaller length episodes--the longer ones felt juuust right.
    Great to have you back in play and getting season 4 out there! This was a hell of a lot of fun to watch!

  • @JamesEck9095

    I don't know if it's borrowed terminology from another "shared DNA system", but I love the label of "stain" for a semi-permanent penalty to endurance, etc. That's perfectly evocative and doesn't need any weird supplemental explanation to understand that it's negative and sticks to you but not super badly. Good choice of words, things like that matter in RPGs, especially when approaching the with fresh eyes!

    The face animation was extremely goofy and offputting, but other than that, it's a great start! I'm pumped about a new season. :)
    For future "cinematics", a still image would be better, even during dialogues in my opinion.

    Fabulous work Trevor! Thanks for keeping the episodes short. Critical Role lost me long ago due to the length of their episodes. Just didn't have that much time to dedicate to that. This length is perfect, especially when I sit down for lunch or dinner, etc. Keep it up! :)
    p.s. Yeah, I get why you used the creepy AI, but damn the torpedoes... the intro was cool nonetheless, and your voice talent is (as always) amazing!!! 🎙

    I don't necessarily mind the AI intro, but for me, nothing will compare to the simple epicness of the ironsworn season. Less is definitely more, imo.

  • @sarahraynore6713
    @sarahraynore6713 7 місяців тому +12

    As epic as that intro was I can't feel comfortable with the use of AI, but I can understand a person using it who otherwise wouldn't be able to do anything remotely similar vs a company who just wants to save what for them would be actual pennies.
    Really cool beginning of the new adventure! Not even once I thought about Veil as a protagonist. I imagined it would be a NPC from season 3 and I was on the Carlos boat given that epilogue (and how incredible popular he was, althought I get the sense you don't share that sentiment :P ). And when you said that there were kind of 2 main characters plus the bbeg being a liche... for me it made sense that Uruzz'however it was had sent Carlos to some place from his past trying to find a way to liberate him. Captain Nikola seemed a valid option too, but Veil???? Super excited, and reminds me of how Arne started with being antagonistic, then learning the truth about the person he was pursuing, and then becoming the main character of the new season!
    The system looks really interesting and although we've only seen a very superficial glance I can't wait to learn more, so mission accomplished I guess!

    Incredible! I’m eager to see where this story goes and *very* eager to get my hands on this rulebook when it comes out. At some points the rules explanations felt a little like hearing someone explain the Cones of Dunshire, but in the best possible way. So far the “sim-lite” rules seem to hit the exact sweet spot that I want in a game.

  • @michaelmullenfiddler
    @michaelmullenfiddler 7 місяців тому +7

    Huh. Cool. You are very good at explaining rules without getting bogged down (I would be saying "um... ah... err..." constantly. Lol). And somehow you are able to 1] explain rules in real time while 2] keeping track of steps in the action while 3] making it all look effortless and 4] simultaneous with all that, you were Actually Entertaining! Also, you took no breaks that i could see. No mean feat, all of that.
    I watched the entire episode. Maybe I will watch this entire season.

    Veil, hiding behind a corner in the shadows of the crypt, spies Morsorath overlooking an ancient text. Knowing this is her only chance, she creeps out the shadows with the spirit mantle in hand, ready to bind the mortal lich into his dream prison. Her stealth roll is a 99! A critical failure! Morsorath abruptly turns around, sees Veil, and unleashes a devastating bolt of energy that sends her reeling back. She slams back into the stone wall with a hard thud and her head whips back with a loud crack.
    With a flash of white before her eyes, snot bubbles coming out of her nose, Veil slumps to the ground. Morsorath approaches her, beginning to cast another spell to finish off the foolish assassin, as Veil looks up to him in defeat. However, here's a question... is it possible that anything happens this moment to interfere with the situation? I would say impossible... **rolls the dice**... a 2, an extreme yes!! **Rolls on the meaning table**, hmmm... "Guide" and "Emotion". "Guide" and "Emotion"... oh, I know!
    Suddenly, leaping out of the shadows jumping in front of Morsorath is CARLOS!! As he shouts, "Viel! All I do for you is for LOVE!!"

    These battles play more like the ones in that 1973 version of the three musketeers, with Michael York as D'Artagnan. They always struck me as more realistic and funnier compared to the typical precision fencing common in many movies. More "oops" and "shit!" than anything else 😊

    I must admit, this long time Savage Worlds player was very skeptical when you said you were designing a simulationist inspired game. I figured it would not be for me. I like some tactical crunch, but I tend to abstract a lot of stuff. When you initially mentioned you'd have granular effects for hitting different body parts, I thought, "I'm out."
    After watching you run the system, I am intrigued. I really like the idea of using your successes to pay for different effects rather than expressing your intent before the roll.

    • @shacharashkenazi6910
      @shacharashkenazi6910 7 місяців тому +2

      I agree. Having your level of success provide you with "points" you can use to activate different effects integrates a different level of player choice that is unfamiliar and intriguing to me. I also like games where both your to-hit and damage is done using one roll.

    OMG Trevor, that INTRO. As others have said, WELL WORTH THE WAIT! The intro was AMAZING. I'm an emotional person already, but when I heard "Cherolyn's Legacy" and what we remember from past shows, I lost it. Wonderful! I'm beyond excited for this season, and what you've accomplished for your platform. Hugs buddy... Hugs!
