I'm here to talk about TTRPGS and the stories that can be told through them. I may occasionally review or talk about a video game or other story-based content, but if you're wanting to talk all things ttrpgs, this is the place for you!
A Great Template for TTRPG Safety Tools!
I explore the topic of Safety tools in TTRPGs through the game As the Sun Forever Sets, a ttrpg being playtested based on The War of the Worlds. It was created by Riley Daniels. It is loosely based on the Blades in the Dark system, but seems to have quite a few differences (I haven't played either system, to be fair). I would highly recommend checking out the game, especially for it's safety tools, I cannot yet speak on the game itself. This is not sponsored, I just liked their system! Happy gaming!

What do I think of the ICON Playtest?
I was surprised you weren't a bigger youtuber given the quality of these videos
I wanna see the class vids!
The Combat Maneuvers rule is SICK!!! I love Buffy RPG <33
I've really enjoyed the game, I'm glad to see someone covering it. My first experience with the system was as a GM at my table I took the initiative to learn it. Found it easy to learn but I also struggled a bit in combat, because they're a lot of mechanics/statuses to keep track of. But I got used to it quickly because they're mostly just 1 sentence length and each class lists all the technical jargon at the front of the class so its easy to look up. (If a player was struggling with a ruling, I didn't have to jump to several different places in the pdf I could just look at the front of their class to know what they're talking about).
I appreciate your review. I think you may have misunderstood some fundamentals (for example, +1 boon gives you d6 to add to your d20 roll), but you probably have a better handle on it than I do. There are some major balance issues, but it should be fixable over time as the game gets more play testing. One thing for me that can help in “getting” the combat system is understanding that it is more like anime/manga than the more gritty narrative system. Expect battles unlike anything you’ve done before, if you come from a dnd base. (Though there is some of the 4e feel, it is also far less crunchy and constrained).
Wine and cheese is basically just a monarchy for ttrpgs lol. Gm could be great or terrible, regardless all players at the table are subject to their rule. Given my experience playing this game as a gm, it felt a lot like interactive story telling; the gm presents a scenario while the players get to be involved via a simple system of making creative choices. You could say this about any rpg, but wine and cheese focuses on the raw essence of these types of games by not being hindered by extensive rules and various game mechanics.
Yeah, it definitely is a bit of a crapshoot when it comes to having the right kind of GM for Wine and Cheese.
Cool stuff thanks for the guide!
Glad it was helpful!
Dying to play for 5 or 6 years lmao
I hope this game takes off like LANCER. I've been playing ICON as a master in a year long campaign which has been incredible for my friend group and meeting new players here in México, as I promote the system among those more artistic players who are into the idea of rolepalying but are intimidated by D&D's mechanics. Its a great system for those more familiar with video games and their aesthetics, and I've been called by hobby caffe groups to use this system as a tool for newer players into getting familiar with the hobby. My current campaign group is entering the endgame of their Chapter 3 and each has ambitions of their own on how to shape the world with their own individual guilds. The goal is hitting Max 12 Level and it has become my favorite system.
Yeah, it's an awesome system!
Vídeo idea, do simulated cenes, combat and other cenes to show how the dices and character sheet interact with the dices and rolls in general 👍
what app do you use to edit the character sheet?
I just used the Microsoft Edge pdf viewer XD, but you could probably use most, or any, pdf viewer app!
Thanks for doing a video on this. I really agree that they could integrate narrative and combat modes more, but also I don't know how they would do it. Great video! What do you think about researching more about RPG's? This game takes it's narrative play mechanics from Blades in the dark, while the combat system is taken from Lancer. What is your opinion on them?
Of course! I'm not entirely sure how it could be done with the system as it is. It would probably require a reworking from the baseline. I think Dune: Adventures in the Imperium is a good example of something that balances the two sides of the coin fairly well. Yeah! I've been looking more into other systems and realized recently that the narrative system has an immense amount of similarities with Blades. The game was produced by the same person as Lancer, and I've heard that this game is very similar mechanically, but has a fantasy flair rather than a sci-fi/mech feel. But I've never had a chance to play Lancer. Thanks for commenting!
Do you have a link to the character sheet?
I do! My friend just updated it to the newest update! drive.google.com/file/d/1rcRlkEb_Te3QTAVyvtn5XvpujGD-Ma6h/view?usp=drivesdk

I appreciate how you addressed the topic. I remember one time I was playing DnD with my work friends and our characters got drunk. He then said that our characters started having sex- which made me suuuuuuuuuuper uncomfy. Especially since the person playing the other character was a work buddy. I definitely would've appreciated something like this in that situation.
Yeahhhhh, stuff like that can be super uncomfortable! Hopefully you get a chance to have more of a say in games you're playing now!
If you are interested in Social Interaction I would recommend Good Society!
Ooh! I just looked it up and I wouldn't have thought to try out a Jane Austen rpg, but it sounds really interesting! Thanks for mentioning it!
Geez!! That sounds so creepy/kinda fun- I might have to stick to my regular light fantasy vibes, but I do like the jazz age... hmmm...
It is a really fun era to play in! It is quite a quandary 😂
Not sure if you know but the game is still alive and there’s a discord to help ya get it goin.
I heard about 6th world coming out, but I didn't know about the discord! Thanks for letting me know!
Nice to see someone cover this system finally, I really prefer listening to others explain rules and there hasn’t been anything to listen to for a while, now I’ll have someone to discuss and disagree with
feels like captain america vibes to me
😂 I hadn't thought of that before honestly, good catch!
Cool ill try it out !
Awesome! Let me know how it goes!
I hadn’t ever heard of a few of these!! I’m going to have to check them out!
Great to see someone talking about ICON - found the system but only really read it with the 1.5 update and been killing for Content about it.
i've been eyeing this game for some time and i have to agree that the artwork and class abilities are so flavorful and evocative, i'd love to try it out with my table someday :^)
Yeah, it definitely does a really good job with the flavor! Let me know how it goes if you ever get to try it out!
It's a pretty nifty game system. I'm playing as a duck-like Lorito beast folk. He's a Warden who's really good at sensing and sneaking. We had a combat session last night and it was pretty interesting in that we were scratching our heads trying to figure out what kind of beast I could summon. I think the DM was kind of regretting letting me pick that class since it involves having to create yet another thing with a stat block on the fly.
Yeah, stuff like that can be tough as a DM 😂
This was a good review- I loooooove the art and the flavor in this system
I definitely agree, they do a really good job with both of those! Thanks for checking out my video!
Glad to see someone covering this! As someone who has exclusively played D&D 5e for 5 years now, seeing something new getting coverage is refreshing.
Thanks! I'm kind of in the same boat and wanted to explore some other games and spread the word!
I’ve played Icon, and I enjoyed the narrative system. I didn’t really understand the combat, and I don’t think I really played it right, so I’m excited for your part 2 and your thoughts!
It is kind of an interesting combat system, but I think the new revision clarifies some things about combat so be sure to check that out, it probably answers some of your questions!
The 1.5 revision is a *lot* clearer, I would recommend checking that out. Why do you think you might not have played it right?
🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀️
😂 literally
I’m going to have to play this on my next road trip with my spouse! Sounds so fun! 🍷🧀
Lol “you can’t check it out.”
😂
I didn’t know that TTRPGs had an organization- that’s kinda cool I think social interaction is my favorite part of TTRPGs
Yeah! I think it's really cool to see how these three elements can be mixed up to create so many cool games! Also, yeah, I definitely agree with social interaction being my favorite pillar!
Incapicitation Inca-Inca-Incapacitation Incasapate Disable.
😂😂
Great video! I think it would be cool to hear more of your thoughts on one of the Pathfinder books you talked about, like Ultimate Wilderness or Ultimate Intrigue
Thanks for the suggestion, though I may want to actually read it cover to cover for something like that 😂
