Late to the party but managed to get in on the new version. Great play thru. I always understand the rules so much better after your explanations. Thank you!

Hey Derrick! Finally got around to watching this, few things you missed and some random notes: 1:00:00 The 2 starting XP can be viewed as the XP required to train your first 2 skill dice - thematically I guess you're not a lv0 noob but someone with some experience under their belt to have learned some skills 1:01:00 Got this right the second time, but should've used the peaceful encounter that you put the enemy chip on to resolve overland effects here 1:07:35 Forgot cooldown at the start of your turn 1:24:52 Enchantment isn't active when it's in your active item slots, you need to use it. At that point it's no longer in your item slots but slotted on your character; currently it's not protecting you 1:32:00 Should've gained a fatigue for your second engage (defending) 1:39:20 This turn is illegal. You switched to defensive battle form (first engage), then moved twice (illegal when performing any engages this turn), and then engaged again to attack with destruction staff (making the double move illegal a second time). Also it sounds like earlier (1:36:08) you were saying you can only engage in any form once per turn, this isn't true. You may change stance during subsequent engages on a turn, but don't have to - in theory you could do 3 separate engages with your 3 magic dice to target 3 different enemies 2:18:50 You have to do the bottom (red) option because you're doing an unstable encounter, there's no choice 2:27:05 Pets can't be moved from active to backpack, you'd have to discard it - but again the glyph wouldn't be taking up an inventory slot if you used it so you wouldn't have to make place for the new item 2:43:00 Should've recovered the light fatigue at start of turn 2:46:55 Doesn't matter here, but quest enemies are specifically the enemies on white chips, so nothing in this encounter is a quest enemy Anyway congrats on the victory, and within a reasonable time at that!

Did you need to do anything for the chip? I went by and talked about the game and didn’t see any of those chips being given out.

Wow, you're awesome, first time viewer here. Thought i'd be skipping through, but nope, watched all of it lol. Tbh, love the character creation, but still undecided on the game itself, i feel the battles could get repetitive quick. On another note, i'm planning on getting Euthia, so unsure i need the two - Also have TMB as well.

You could have overtaxed your staff to kill the Shaman in round one and use the two tanacity to deal every enemy in range 2 damage, which means every bat would be destroyed in one go 😊

I want a High King's Nose Warmer! CTG has the best loot. And just to reiterate what Adam Morris said, this is another GREAT playthrough!

Another great playthrough Canje! Your attention to rules and making sure that we understand them is putting you as a forerunner for playthroughs on this game! Keep up the great work man!!

More Betrayal of the Second Era? Is it my birthday already? :D

Destruction Staff sounds not that good for me. Probably going for daedric at start.

This was a fun stream!! Love Marvel United and can’t wait for my Multiverse pledge to arrive. So many great characters and variations. Dig your camera set up too!

This was excellent yet again, really enjoyable and informative. TMB was played on a 4 x 4 grid but look at the size of the battle you did here and also there is no fail forward, loose and the whole campaign is over. Having 5 rounds in a battle, maybe 6 or even 7 at a real push, I think is not enjoyable. I will either double the time and only advance the turn counter every second turn or as you say just remove it completely. Amazing game otherwise and I never feel bad about house ruling, I pay a lot of money for my games and I want them to be enjoyable to my way of playing rather than punishing and sat on the shelf collecting dust.

Very fun stream. Thanks Derrick!

For that first cheetah card I would have moved her to the heroes location. We were all tied with 0, so I would have picked one hero but they were all together anyways. Maybe that’s wrong though? What would happen if multiple heroes had 1?

Just discovered your channel searching for ES:BotSE content - and glad I did! Really enjoy your style and as someone who is AuDHD, I can relate to the different style of learning

LMAO… I don’t say this to be mean, it is just very funny… at 1:18:45, “I’ve lied to you for the last time.” Seems like another lie to me! 😂😜🤣

I've been thinking about getting Hoplomacus Victorum, but one thing I was kind of concerned about was if the battles would feel too similar to this as I already backed this. Do you think there's room for both? I know the games are very different, as one is team building and one is character building, but the combat itself seems similar. However, I could be way off on that.

Hmm… at 1:15:30 -ish, you mention how the combat dice are not explained in the tutorial. I’m beginning to think that Chip Theory Games should rename that booklet to “Sample Play” because, you are correct, it does not seem to really be a tutorial (or learn-to-play) as I think of it.

At 1:06:40 -ish, you mention how character building is *almost* like D&D, but you were worried D&D folks would be mad if you said that… I’m not mad and I don’t think other players would be either (unless they are trolls). The push/pull track is a lot like D&D players min/maxing their characters. I think the comparison is a decent one. BTW, could you organize the playlist in session order? That way folks can just hit play and get them in the right sequence. Newest session first means folks have to keep reversing the playlist get things in sequence.

1:31:47 if the enemy units target is the party member with the lowest health, you moved it toward that party member, but then SWITCHED ITS TARGET to you for its attack, which I am not sure is valid according to enemy turn sequence rules. Enemy units only choose a target at the beginning of their turn, not in the middle of it. right?

1:21:00 So the Necromance says it revives a dead enemy into a hex adjacent to the Necromancer. What if you companions surround the necro so there is no hex to revive an enemy into? Also, this prevents the Necro from moving, correct?

When using enemy units as a Companion, their abilities are all worded as if they were enemies rather than party members, rendering their abilities rather useless. Side note, since you are not using Mana for spellcasting on this melee character, can you untrain the two mana for two experience? Then use that two xp toward helping your recovery.

Thank you very much for the very extensive and detailed presentation of this game...I am already very excited about this game 😀 Of course there is also a subscription... 😉 Greetings from East Frisia (Germany)

Loved the playthrough, many thanks Derrick. Main lessons learnt for me is that it's really important to raise the cooldown stat, and my first playthrough(s) will for sure be on easy difficulty level, that end battle was brutal.

So much fun with your play through thanks I can’t wait to get my copy 😊

Just watched you winning a Delve... I can't even get past the first room! lol

I was late to the party for the lifestream, thank you for the great explaination. to bad i missed the giveaway ;)

Thanks

Really great play through as always mate 😊

Huge fan of the game, and stumbled across your live stream. I'm not one for live stream playthrough, but your's is the exception! Love the pacing and energy. I've watch both playthrough streams all day. Keep it up.

Ok Canje, I feel old. I got the Lazer lips quip as soon as you said it.

Cheating with neighbor 😂

where can you get the sleeves for the cards, i have been looking for those for my zombicide cards

spawn the hydra solders now

the three flipped from a one when you thought Psylocke.

I think one big mistake you are making is on the overland movement. You can move through hexes that have terrain features. You do not have to move only through the blank hexes. Terrain features only trigger when you end you turn on them. Rulebook pg 34 #3 First sentence. ( I am fairly certain that Paul confirmed this on discord) This cost you a lot of movement and also allowed the 2nd pursuers to catch you. Thank you for the great playthrough.

Great stream. Glad that your TES content brought me over to your channel. You do a great job of interacting with everyone in chat, as well as ensuring that you are properly playing the game. Looking forward to the next one!

Great stream Canje. The tutorial issue is not a “you” issue. The problem is that it’s not a “learn to play” like, say, FFG’s Marvel Champions Learn To Play booklet. It’s just a “here’s how it all works together” guide that only makes sense when you know the rules of the game. If you try to learn the game from it it’s like watching a chess match without knowing how chess plays, how the pieces move etc.

Just finished this installment of your playthrough! You are doing Amazing helping me understand the play mechanics and you are also giving me my fix of this game so i dont climb the walls while waiting for my copy! Go Canje!! Lol

That was fun to watch! If i keep saying it it will become truth, have to remember that :D

Thanks for the stream Derrick! It was great watching you work through things. Everyone learns differently, it cos of guys like you and Paul Grogan that i can learn games by watching others learn! I am sooo excited to get this :)

Just want to say you’re a great human, love your vibe. The excitement and enjoyment you have while playing is such a delight. Keep being awesome!

This review is super helpful to me, because you talked a lot about how you learn. Often times my job in a friend group is to teach the players who learn like you, because I learn pretty well through in depth rule books. Knowing what I need to know ahead of time is really useful, and knowing what I need to help my friends with is even more useful. This will be my first CTG game, and I couldn't be more excited. I've watched pretty much every review that's come out since gencon, and this is easily my favorite one. You bring such a positive energy, even when bringing criticism forward, which is hard to do! Seeing the process of learning a new play through is a really valuable resource for a new game, the more mistakes you make here, the less I'll make when I get my hands on the game. So thanks for taking the hit for the rest of us!

So far from this small sample size how does this rank to other chip theory games. What are the positive and negatives (I’m sure a lot of the negatives will go away with the full game and more variety though)

Another great playthrough and will also be useful once it arrives. Was interesting seeing the Delve they seem the hardest part so far and running through was a good idea. Upgrading the dice refresh each turn certainly seems important to focus on early especially if your character restarts with only 1 which was good to see.
