@21:04. Minor correction. Your shrine miniature block the "x", the waypoint 1 and the shine is not in the same area. That also mean that the trap card you drawn later will not hit the other 2 heroes.
Awesome job guys! Already painted...I'm so jealous. I'm on quest 4 as I couldn't wait to paint them as I already waited 2.5 years for this KS. Cant wait for more.
I'm finding it much more difficult than the original S&S. Maybe because Im not used to how the heros interact with each other and knowing when to use specific powers. Poison is just a killer when you cannot save.
@@OneStopCoopShop all your skills treasure, stash can be stored, you can put wounds and tokens on characters in APP and have it do the time phase if you like
Must resist!!!! Must resist!!! Sooo tempting... Luckely I brought my test of will to resist this treachery ;) Enjoy the ride guys I will watch the entire playthrough once I've finished my own sometime next year 😅👍
Thanks Bairnt and Colin. Great fun thanks. I'm glad you qualified what the S&S was. People might think it meant...erm...steamship. We don't want the video being demonetized! lol Hope you are feeling better Colin Looking forward to the adventure in the Ynderreign!
Did you forget the time you gained at the end of this quest too? So I think you should have had 6 time in the Underreign…4 gained per errata (instead of 3), 1 from event card at the end of this quest, and 1 gained from the ability. (So maybe you should carry over 2 time next time you are in the Underreign, plus any bonuses from the end of Quest 2). But I am still not familiar with what costs time so double check my analysis!
So what are your overall thoughts on this newest version of sword and sorcery? I remember you where quite high on the first iteration of sword and sorcery but what about now? Did this game make your top 10 for 2021 or have you mellowed on sword and sorcery ?
I mellowed a ton. If you play it back to back it's great but once you stop playing it's so hard to get it back out die to high rule complexity. Also it felt too easy
Question: How do you feel about using IS heroes in AC and vise versa? I've read on all forums and post from people saying "Yeah you can do that, no problem", but the AC heroes seem a lot stronger! 😶
@@OneStopCoopShop Thanks for the input. Are you guys doing any more playthroughs? I really liked watching them. I can see that it requires a ton of work tho.
@@danacoleman4007 It's called Action vs. Action. They have an album up on RUclips (search avademos). It's where Bairnt's intro/outro music comes from. I believe he's the bass player.
How do you find this compares to Immortal Souls Act I and II? I liked Immortal Souls okay, but I got really tired of the constant spawning and some of the really annoying monster powers (i.e. roll a shield and it ignores the attack, or roll a magic symbol and it spaws a monster. Have they made it feel a bit more fluid?
@@OneStopCoopShop Awesome thanks, one more question, what other games you recommend that are similar to S&S? As an old school wow fan this game feels very similar I enjoy mmorpg style games, gloomhaven is cool but doesn't give that feel I enjoy. Thanks again, Carlos
@@loktar00 Nice, Maybe you can help me with an S&S Rule question, I understand that if you move and perform an attack that ends your move, but if you end up killing the enemy can you move now? Basically let's say the hero has 3 movement points, he moves 1 into an enemy space, performs and attack which kills it can the hero now move the remaining 2 movement points left?
Currently liking chronicles better but I need to get into this one more. SS has a much superior rulebook and AI but I enjoy the story and the 3 levels and hero customization of Chronicles!
To watch or not to watch, that is the question. I want to, i realy do, but i went with 1 wave delivery, so my copy wont be here untill new year i think. And i want to avoid spoilers. Does it feel more difficult then the original, as original's hardest mission was mission 1. After that it was easier with each mission. As you got more leves and powers, the enemies just did not keep up.
Quick question to bring all of your characters back from ghost form in the beginning did you need to spend those soul shards the first event card gave you
Good point. I guess I play that wrong. I assume the first event card give u one soul shards per hero because you will spend it immediately to resurrect
@@OneStopCoopShop Well, i think that is the rule book. 12.3 Resurrection During each Time Phase, a Ghost Soul Hero in the same area as an open Shrine can spend Soul Points { } to return to life. Since the hero is level 1, so 1 soul shards per hero to resurrect, but it is good that you double check in BGG. Please play till Quest 3, and I want to know if you can beat it. I failed 3 times and cheated abit and a lot of luck to get through it. (I wonder if I played some rule wrong to make it so difficult). "cheated" mean I went to emporium to buy some stuff when I am not suppose to and for enemy power, I draw 2 and pick 1. Some of these enemy power mix with some of the enemy AI break the game. I also want to see how you interpret AI "move away" behavior.
True but this was not a normal resurrection right? The story just said we were reborn so I dunno? We have a plan to play it all so we will get to chapter 3 and see if we can survive! Thanks for the heads up!
Minor correction. When you fought the venoms I don’t think you dominate the area as you can only dominate enemies - minions are not considered as enemies. Love the video and keep up the good work
Good play through! Just a bit of feedback: you use “go ahead” way too much. 8:58 (3 times in a row) I know it seems like I’m being a dick but I’m not trying to. I thought if I mentioned it, it might help you curb the overuse in the future. Now if I could get friends to stop using like as beginning, end, and punctuation for sentences.
How does this compare to Descent? I have many of the box sets of Descent and the printed deck for solo play. I haven't gotten through even 10% of what I have. Is this a better solo D&D experience?
Great question and I can't tell you as I have not played Descent. I am getting the new version in August but comparing this to the old version I cannot say, sorry! I will say this one is fully cooperative, and does not need an APP to be that way.
I played the first campaign of Sword and Sorcery. S&S is certainly a descendant of Descent. From a game system point of view, you don't need an app and every detail is streamlined yet tactical, from setup to movement to power management to... From a content standpoint, the first base box was as bland as a white toast though!
@21:04. Minor correction. Your shrine miniature block the "x", the waypoint 1 and the shine is not in the same area. That also mean that the trap card you drawn later will not hit the other 2 heroes.
Oh thank you so much for that! Those blasted shrines getting in the way
This is one I have been waiting for! This is going to be great!
WHOOT! Excited we finally got it to the table! Thanks for watching!

Haha I get it!! You are enjoying it so far?
I'm finding it much more difficult than the original S&S. Maybe because Im not used to how the heros interact with each other and knowing when to use specific powers. Poison is just a killer when you cannot save.
Yeah im excited to see how much harder it is!!
just finished that quest myself, also the APP they have for this is good for keeping track of everything you have
Nice!! Thanks for that!

I just got the base box. Can't wait to break it open and give it a run.
Awesome have loads of fun!!
Minor correction. You cannot dominate minions as they are not considered an enemy. Only enemies / heroes can be dominated
Thanks for that!
Thanks Bairnt and Colin.
Great fun thanks. I'm glad you qualified what the S&S was. People might think it meant...erm...steamship.

Hope you are feeling better Colin
Looking forward to the adventure in the Ynderreign!
Hahahahahahahah!!!! Paul always a pleasure to hear from you! Hope you are doing great!
Small error in the beginning. You have to spend the Soul Points to get ressurect at the shrine.
Thanks for that!

I mellowed a ton. If you play it back to back it's great but once you stop playing it's so hard to get it back out die to high rule complexity. Also it felt too easy
If you could only buy either Immortal Souls or Ancient Chronicles, and haven't played either one, which would be the better one to choose?
The second version is more refined so I would recommend that one!
Wave 2, am getting my all in January. I hope.
Fingers crossed!!

Give us until chapter 3 we need to play more to see because in not sure!! I dislike those too!!
Thanks for the content, I'm looking to get this game should I get this core set or the original one? Which one has more game time? Thanks Carlos
I think the newer version has more game time and the difficulty is slightly more balanced too!

Quick question to bring all of your characters back from ghost form in the beginning did you need to spend those soul shards the first event card gave you
We were wondering that too! I am not sure I think ill ask on BGG as it did seem crazy to get 3 soul shards at the getgo!
Good point. I guess I play that wrong. I assume the first event card give u one soul shards per hero because you will spend it immediately to resurrect
Well I am not sure - we are asking on BGG - seems weird the storybook wouldn't tell you that though! We are trying to figure it out!

You guys try really hard with the readings which is great. But ... bit sad to see the writing is still quite dire. Hopefully it gets better ...

so..
