That mini's look really great!! 🤯
17:56 - Miska is indeed a Demon Lord, consort to the Queen of Chaos. He has been around since 1E. Nice to see him back and getting a mini!
1:05 - That's because they ARE from Barovia! :) They are from the part of the adventure where you try to recover a part of the Rod of Seven Parts from Death House, in Barovia. Needless to say the locals have a less then pleasant welcome with the typical "Adventurers, we don't like your kind here!" as well as the pitchforks, torches and rotten tomatoes. :P
@@commanderbbshockwave8698 Awesome!
7:54 - Beware if he starts offering you weird Rubic cubes to solve! :)
5:53 - Heh, indeed, that moon-shaped head and the metallic body does remind me of Zeta from Batman Beyond, or rather the later training droids that we saw on JLU!
10:37 - Blazebears are a new creature, but not fiendish in origin, they are from Eberron, the irradiated Mournland, where the last great war with Warforged colossi caused all sort of mutations to occur.
@@commanderbbshockwave8698 Oh sweet! I’ve run four Eberron campaigns since it first came out. Just scored the Dread Metrol campaign guide by Keith Baker.
The Mournland section has you going inside giant Colossi to find some artifact, while hunted by Warforged troops of the Lord of Blades
@@commanderbbshockwave8698 Sounds like it could be lifted and placed in a traditional Eberron game.
@@DanMasucci Yeah, you could easily do that! There is an encounter with some sort of fluidic entity at the end who is the "brain" of the Colossus and wants to be freed from it, that probably works in itself as an adventure.
The villagers are fine, but they should have left the Kuo-Toa and skeletons out of the set and focused on the monsters that feature in the adventure.
3:55 - You have not read the adventure yet? The Star Anglers are encountered in the Spelljammer section of the adventure.
@@commanderbbshockwave8698 Have to score the book and read!
10:12 - No, of course he is attractive! Just ask any Skesis! ;)
@@commanderbbshockwave8698 fair enough
13:20 - Yeah, Laysa has the assassin stat block and is said to be a retired adventurer, but works well as a pirate. You meet her near one of Acererak's tomb-traps on Oerth, safeguarding some archeologists.
@@commanderbbshockwave8698 Looks like I need to pick up this adventure!
It’s a mixed bag, the separate adventures to get 7 parts are pretty good, especially the Tomb of Lost Souls and the Avernus casino Belvedere, but there is little cohesion between them, and the final battle feels lackluster. They use the same statblock for Vecna as in that 2022 reveal
@@commanderbbshockwave8698 Yeesh
@@DanMasucci Yeah he barely has spells, and just teleports around and stabs you with some magic dagger... which his mini does not even have. They explain it away by saying that focusing on the ritual to remake the universe weakened him.
11:27 - I think you meant Driders, not Dryads... those are fey ladies bound to trees! And yeah, Drow have not been black skinned for quite some time - mostly they are dark grey or even purple now. And I think even as far back as 2E female Drow could be punished by getting turned into Driders - it was more rare, of course. But then again during 3E or 4E they even changed the lore and said such a transformation was a sign of Lolth's favor, not a punishment. Any chance you can tell us what number the Drider was?
@@commanderbbshockwave8698 oof!
@@commanderbbshockwave8698 I’ll have to get back to you on that detail
The name of the book is "Eve of Ruin" and not Destruction,
@@GustavoNR10 hahahahaha! That’s right. Don’t know why I had that in my head! Maybe I was thinking about GnR’s Appetite for Destruction!
Out of curiosity, you said you got duplicated, and I see there are only 7 Large minis in the review, while there are 8 boosters. Does this meany you got 2 of one of the 7?
Also, could you provide the numbers on the bottom of the minis? It'd help in determining the rarity. Though I am guessing Vecna and Tasha are the Rares.
@@commanderbbshockwave8698 one booster had an empty wrapper. Ended up with an extra angry commoner, spine devil, and bearded devil.
Huh so you had a booster without a Large mini? Strange!
@@commanderbbshockwave8698 or a medium. Strange right?
@@DanMasucci Well, there should be 1 Large mini in every booster, that is even in the description of the item for sale, so that is weird.
Then again we did have sets like Witchlight and Ravenloft where not every booster had a Large, sometimes it was replaced by 2 Mediums. The empty bag does seem to indicate that yours got lost though.
@@commanderbbshockwave8698 I got a second blazebear so I don’t know what mini I didn’t get
