You are just the best ! I love almost all your playthrough, especially the long campaign. Too bad your didn't play the story mode for Massive Darkness 1.
Awesome play through. The Trog's are cool. Have only played with the base game monsters. Bjorn is pronounced Bee-YORN:) it is a Scandinavian name. Charge was an awesome skill in our game on Bjorn.
You know, I think that "J" just doesn't want to be silent anymore hahahaha! Charge is a great ability, can't wait until I get it!! Thanks for watching and excited to see your playthrough of this!
I'm still watching this through, it's piqued my interest so far. If you've played Gloomhaven, or have heard of it, how would you compare these two games? I'm not sure if you can answer that question but, if so, I'd like to hear your opinion. Gloomhaven seems to stand out a bit more, polished maybe, but I'm not sure.
Thanks so much for watching!! I will say this, I sold Massive Darkness, I have not sold Gloomhaven. I plan to keep Gloomhaven for ever ha! Massive Darkness is great for a simple dungeon crawler, but if you are looking for a challenge with strategic decisions and minimal luck, Glomhaven is the way to go. PLUS the campaign IS a campaign in Gloomhaven vs. here it feels much more forced. Hope that helps! Oh I have a playthrough of Gloomhaven if you are interested! :)
I've been having a lot of fun watching your videos and I subbed! Thanks so much for the reply. That answer definitely solved my question. I will pass on this game and focus on Gloomhaven 2.0 edition. I didn't know you had a Gloomhaven playthrough---I will definitely be watching that. Hopefully Gloomhaven 2.0 starts getting stocked for a good price.
One Stop Co-op Shop would you recommend MD over Black Plague. As much as 8 like the “Zombicide” series I find it incredible basic and lacks variety. This looks like a bit more in depth but still a skirmish game.... still watching your playthroughs
In a heart beat for me. Massive Darkness had mors choices and just seemed to be a better game. But if you like zombies Black Plague is for sure the way to go! 😁
That first few seconds of the video. Did I click the wrong video? But it says "One Stop Coop Shop" but I'm hearing a different person? Is it the wrong video? LOL
I passed on this KS because it looked way too similar to Zombicide. Do you feel that there is enough of a difference to distinguish itself? Also, how is the management of four characters solo? One reason I don't solo Zombicide is because six characters seems way too overwhelming to take on alone!
No I don't. I sold the game after playing it a few times. The game is fine, but I just felt other dungeon crawlers do it better. 4 characters is actually pretty easy though! And you can play this one with just 1 hero if you want, it is jut not well balanced that way.
No it did not and I sold it. Just not enough there for me solo. Good game to play for a relaxing time with friends, but strategy is minimal and dice chucking is heavy! I like how the characters upgraded and all but still it was not my thing! Hope that helps!
As am I. 🙏 for the folks in Florida. Thanks for the mention, we have you in our thoughts.
You are correct they mobs can't use items. The rule is on page 24 for reference
Thank you!!!

Thanks so much!! Yeah I ended up getting rid of this one.

I have the Kickstarter of this game. I haven't had time to sit down and play. I can't wait to play it, good video.
It is a fun one that is for sure!! Thank you for watching and good luck on your adventures!
Your right, enemy cannot use items. It will be interesting to see how you will manage those goblins archer, good luck :)
Cool thank you Sylvain! LEt's see what we can do about those Archers!
Great shout out for Tom Vassal, all us Aussies are all hoping everyone comes through the next days and weeks without any incident! Cross our fingers.
100% agree Steve!!
HA! That voice at the beginning! Love it!
HA! Yeah having a little too much fun I think!
I like the micro-xp as a twist on traditional dungeon crawl XP.
Yeah it is a simple way of making XP not worth as much for the Story Mode. Haven't tried it yet, but I have heard Lightbringer's get too powerful.
Bjorn (Bee-yorn!) should not heal 1 point when he takes the +1 Max Health skill.
Pretty sure he does they gain a health when they increase their max. If you find in the rules I am wrong let me know! Thanks

Thank you for watching, glad the video was helpful! Yeah $140 is pretty expensive, but for the game you get it might be worth it! Thanks for subbing!!
Wish I got this instead of Black Plague 😭 May sell mine after I finish painting then get MD 😃
totally get that!! Good luck and have fun painting!

Every time you say Bjorn, the way you pronounce it, I have to think of a French guy in white/blue striped shirt, fighting with a baguette...
Haha!!!
Ok... Add this one to the wishlist too lol
NICE!! Hope you can find it!
Me too! lol
The sentence directly above the 2 free actions says that following can be done without spending action points.... lol
HAHAHAHA!!! Ah darn, sorry About that!
One Stop Co-op Shop No problem. I do that all the time
That first few seconds of the video. Did I click the wrong video? But it says "One Stop Coop Shop" but I'm hearing a different person? Is it the wrong video? LOL
Ha yeah voice modification!!
Are you sure the Minions of the mob don't count for nothing? I'm remembering them counting as extra hits or something like It.
Based on how I read the rules minions did not count as additional hits. Pleas tell me if I am wrong!

Is that dice from the Kickstarter? Cause it looks better than the retail version
You are right! They are the frost dice!! Love 'em!
So, what would be your final thoughts on this one? This definitely did not make any of your top10s...
No it did not and I sold it. Just not enough there for me solo. Good game to play for a relaxing time with friends, but strategy is minimal and dice chucking is heavy! I like how the characters upgraded and all but still it was not my thing! Hope that helps!
Are those the frost dice you are using ?
Correcto! I think they look pretty nice! Thanks for watching!
Love the play through, but you are driving me crazy calling the barbarian "Ba-Jorn." It is pronounced "Byorn," like Bjorn Borg.
Yeah I am so sorry... you are not the only one ego has said that... my apologies but thanks for watching anyways!!
Oh, it is a minor point. Your series of MD videos are both informative and entertaining.
Ok good to hear!!
Hmm, so far this looks rather underwhelming to me. Typical CMON game. Thanks for reminding me why I immediately dismissed it ;-)
Yeah it was one I sold right after this playthrough ha! A fun game for the right audience, just not for me though.
