Your section about lifetime rerolls being able to be used multiple times on the same roll has been incorrect since some time last year. The official FAQ was updated *Under what circumstances can a survivor use lifetime rerolls/reroll tokens? Can a roll result that has already been rerolled be rerolled again?* Survivors with a lifetime reroll/reroll token can spend it to reroll any single roll result that they are present for. This includes any dice that survivor rolls (e.g.- a d10 roll for the survivor, a d10 roll for the monster while the survivor has the monster controller tile, a hit location roll, etc.), and any dice that survivor is deemed "present" for according to narrative consensus. Players are recommended to suggest that a survivor is "present" only when they have sufficient narrative cause to do so. *After a roll result has been rerolled, the new result must be kept and cannot be rerolled again*
Well look at that . . . even with all the searching we did online and the statements made by Adam (and explored by BGG) it seems this is the case. Thanks for the clarification!
@@Quackalopeyup yup. All the comments from Adam about lifetime rerolls are multiple years old and stood as gospel until this official clarification. It really changes the way SotF rerolls are used. There isn’t a real benefit in saving the entire settlement’s rerolls to avoid cracks in the ground 1, 1-3 Gorm climate, plague, or the myriad of other terrible events. Because their value is lower, it’s more justifiable to use them on lower value things. It’s a controversial, but imo welcome nerf to SotF. PtY is good, but why would you ever pick it when you could fix the majority of the game’s bad luck instead?
@@QuackalopeThey could and probably should have just replaced the SotF card in the legendary card pack 1.6 update instead of burying this nerf in an FAQ. (I haven’t played in a year and don’t remember if they did that). Though, this game is no stranger to errata. Campaigns of Death is gonna change a ton about the game… whenever that comes out
Yea, not only is this in the FAQ - it is not the most common thing that comes up when your searching questions on Google :P They did not add this to the card pack@@WarioMCP
A year ago I owned 0 KDM. Now, KDM 1.6, GCE, sunstalker, dragon king, slenderman, and flower knight. This is largely thanks to your coverage and encouragement for the game, which I have been watching and enjoying for the last few years. What a fantastic game. Easily my favourite tabletop experiences of 2023 and will likely remain this was for years to come, though it can be complex and it is super easy to miss rules. Thanks, Quackalope!
Wow! This was a really well done video. Content was awesome but I'm amazed you both rattled off all that detail without editing. Also, greta to see Shira in there 50%. Things I learned - Rule 1 on Dodging after attack... What? I have to rewind and listen to that, and then check the rule book... and then maybe ignore : ) I bought 1.6 on Black Friday 2022 so after painting only finished my first campaign last year. I was surprised that we won first time! It wasn't easy but we did it. One thing I learned in retrospect is that we were in some lantern years doing multiple Innovation selections!?! (not sure how bad that helped us out - I will find out in my next campaign).
Really appreciate your vid. Something you did not address is, in my opinion, the trickiest rule of all KD:M: proper timing and chaining survival actions. Oh my.
Nice video, Since I finally got my game table I'll be starting a campaign with KDM setup in the gaming vault until I'm finished. So hopefully, I can create some of those listings much easier. H00t!
I don’t own this game. I’ve never played this game but I watched a lot on this game so thanks for making this video for those that have it or that play it I’m just so glad you guys are back on the camera.
i just caused a very difficult game for my new players because I mixed up 2 rules, first you roll on the table of death for damage after you fill in the heavy box, not on the heavy box and second you only get knocked down when you pencil in the heavy box and not with damage after that unless the table of death roll says so
Thank you so much for this wonderful overview of everything I did in my first campaigns :D Will be rewatched the next time I start again ^^ Still think the game is not difficult per se but interactions are complex and possibilities are abundant. Also love the rulebook and think it is one of the best in gaming. Still the slew of isolated keywords can be confusing. Even more so if you are not a native English speaker. So glad for the living FAQs and the great community :D Happy explorations and looking forward to your next Dreamkeeper/KDM session :)
I was confused on your explanation when you used the Founding Stone as an example. If there is no critical wound on the hit location, then the Founding stone ability does nothing? Not even a normal wound?
Yessssssss. Helpful! Hey, I played solo my first playthrough, and I may have a group wanting to play next time. How do you determine who gets to buy weapons or armor first and when?
I just learned some time ago that the nemesis Encounters aren´t Special Showdown, it was my big mistake for a whole campaign. The rules for special showdown are written in the middle of the rules for nemesis encounters, but the two never actually refer to each other.
I am not alone. thx man, the internet was like: "that is so clear, those are two different things... you will know when there is a special Showdown!" And I was like: oh man I am so stupid!@@Quackalope
One that we played wrong for quite a bit was "record and archive" and bringing out resources, we were also marathon playing so kept cards out on the table. We noticed once we played the Flower Knight and built a satchel, allowing you to bring out an archived resource, so we were bringing out fresh acanthus alot, haha. I want to get one of those chess time things you have to punch to indicate whos turn it is, esp now that we have 5 characters to control. Also another one that i really have to stop and brain burn on is when a survivor can stand, ugh gets me everytime. Also are you sure a lantern 10 always produces a wound? Say you have 2 strength, but the monsters toughness is 15 and you dont hit a critical wound card, thus your toughness is only 12, wouldnt that be a failure?

Yea, its a big adjustment and kinda feels like a post launch nerf IMO . . . however, probably a needed one I guess.

It’s brings you in quick
No wonder my game has been easier than expected! I wasn’t dashing on card reactions, but I WAS dodging!
Oh no XD . . . you can't dodge!
What other rules did we miss?
Also, can you hear my voice going out this whole video? I stoped talking for a full day afterwards.
That was a great video.
Really helpful for anyone who took a break and is coming back to KDM.
Thanks! I hope to do a Quick Start guide soon . . . it is so hard to pick the game up again after a break of a few weeks or months.
I was expecting for the collision and knock back rules, cause thats something I tend to mess up

I don't even know if I get those right XD

We have the same going with the Dream Keeper campaign!

It’s a lovely game :) glad we can make videos like this.

Yep, nothing at all :)
@@Quackalope oof we've been getting that wrong. Thanks for the quick reply!
Yessssssss. Helpful! Hey, I played solo my first playthrough, and I may have a group wanting to play next time. How do you determine who gets to buy weapons or armor first and when?
Just work together :)
You can do the "hand out resources" method - but often that makes the game much harder.
I just learned some time ago that the nemesis Encounters aren´t Special Showdown, it was my big mistake for a whole campaign. The rules for special showdown are written in the middle of the rules for nemesis encounters, but the two never actually refer to each other.
I had the exact same issue when I first started playing solo . . . I was so confused between the two!
I am not alone. thx man, the internet was like: "that is so clear, those are two different things... you will know when there is a special Showdown!" And I was like: oh man I am so stupid!@@Quackalope
Haha, not at all - it is a easy to mess up I think
@@NoxObitus
It's kind of a cool home rule to make all nemesis fights Special showdows so you get extra hunts.
Awesome video
Thanks! We are working on even more KDM stuff :P

Yea, good to note!
Poor Jessie 🙈
Will you be uploading your original KDM campaign as well? Would love to see that one, too.
Never made it past LY 15 myself so far.
can you elaborate on special encounter rules?
One thing you did not get wrong is including the 🐦🎉
She should do more videos so there is no need for the subtle nerves :)
Quack
Hey Jesse and Shira, can I ask how you painted those minis to make them look like cast metal? They look great!
