Really enjoyed your play through. There is so much going on this game, I can't imagine playing it and filming. You did a nice job. Fun to watch along and compare to my own game. Sidenote: The "dog symbol is a gremin." No big deal, but it kinda fits with their theme.
Thanks for the video! We played last night for the first time and we also have the kickstarter box set. Wow, so much stuff inside the box it took us hours to punch out, sort and figure out how to play. Which we stumbled through the game. Your videos totally helped out. Could you make another video and explain each character in detail? We were overwhelmed on which ones to play. We have 4 players. Thanks again!
This should be really fun with 4! Unfortunately I am trying to off set KS costs and have sold many of my the extra characters I am not using. With 4 I would suggest the cleric ( medium damage, best heals, good mitigation), the the law tank from the core (good damge, can count as 2 models, super high mitigation), 1 glass cannnon (Mage or witch hunter) and the four slot is open for another glass cannon or fighter. What are you thinking? Also any classes specifically you want yo talk about?
We did the prologue, someone played the cleric, another picked the character that can change into the bear, another guy picked the berserker and i took the standard banner. He seems like it will help from what i read about him. I like the fact that he can never be dominated or controlled no matter how many are in the area. We are not set in stone on what we are going to play, but luckily for us the guy who picked the cleric enjoys him. I'm liking the witch hunter you are playing she seems bad to the bone! Major damage dealer. Our group plays every other Saturday so i'll let you know how it goes. I sure can't wait to play our next scenario. Thanks for recording your scenarios it helps me get through till next time!
I just had some bad rolls. I think Auriel is a good damage character. I looked through all the weopons and the only goods one I found is an artifact that might be a quest reward... I think she is intended to be a spell slinger. I would hold off all support spells until level four. If you are a law party i suggest grabbing ice manipulator, Thunder lord and then magic bolt. If you are a chaos party grab flame master, drain life and then thunder lord or magic bolt. For the first talent i would grab camaraderie, this would allow you 1 reroll almost every attack, with a backup reroll from the cleric! I took camaraderie on my witch hunter for this very reason.
At the moment, I have MIrror Image. But I'm rethinking that because if she's hanging back all the time, she doesn't need a lot of defense and I don't need her in the same area as the others to dominate because of the 2x on Ecarus.
Thanks. I'll drop that then and take something else. And like you I don't mind replaying a game I enjoy to start fresh. I do the same thing with video games.
I think the glass cannon approach is very enjoyable. It is very common for mine to drop most things in 1 attack and the mage has some spells with great dice!
i have a question about the rules,i was wondering how the dice results work when attacking and defending,when u roll for example 2 dice and the first dice had the two lightning bolts on it and the second dice had 1 hit and 1 lightning bolt on it,how do i use them?i have to count the number of lightning bolts i have in total (for this example 3 bolts) or do i have to use them appart from each other?Like i can only activate a power that recuires 2 bolts when i roll a die with 2 bolts on it or i can use like 2 seperate bolts from dice results to combine them to use the power that recuires 2 bolts?Also i was wondering how u keep the ennemy's appart from each other?If u spawn 2 green orcs u have to put something beside the miniature to know who is who?
My understanding is that the lightning bolts make a pool. With 3 you could do 3 singles, or a double and a single. But if you reroll the double lightning die to get more hits and roll a double hit your pool would be 1 or 0 depending on if the lightning from the other die was used to get that reroll or not. Here are my suggestions for 2x of anything. From what I have seen, each version is worth a different amount soul shards. If you keep the soul shards for each on or near it's base it will help identify which version that model is. To help with clutter I suggest keeping wounds/charges on the spawn cards. I hope this helps.
You sound like me. Don't like where you are half way through a campaign and you happily start over. I'm using 2 of the 3 same characters with the same skills. Instead of Morrigan, I went with the caster. Hope she works out. I loved the thought of the "counts as two for dominate" especially since it's passive. Your timing is terrible by the way, I just watched the original video and now I see this one :)
Yeah, I don't want keep characters I am not enjoying for all the campaigns. Which caster? The summoner or mage? Morrigan is great, she did 9 hits in one attack in mission 3 today! Counts as 2 is amazing, it is working out great. I can't decide if I should pull the old videos or not.
All my SnS is currently packed up, but i do not remember him counting for 2. It is usually the larger models that count for 2, like orcs and big purple enemies. It lists counts as 2 on the rules of a model from what i recall.
My reasoning is it says hits and the red one is something like suffer 1 hp. So if you can not defend the hits, then the blues ones the would have a stronger spines than the boss.
In section 4.2.1 it states that activatives can be performed in any order. Attack/move or move/attack, etc. I do believe you are not allowed to split movement though, so you could not move some, attack and then move again.
I think you are targeting your heroes incorrectly. On page 48 of the rule book after listing the priorities it explains how to target if the priority does not give a final answer. It starts with most wounded, then fewest HP remaining, then the closest, and then the controlling player picks. I realize you played this awhile ago but thought I'd let you know.
That priority is used if you have multiple targets in the correct range. When activating an enemy you try to perform programming at range [0], then if that fails try [1-2] then [3] and so on. So if you have enemies at range 0 you perform your range 0 programming on the highest priority in range. I will double check the rules tonight, let me know if you think this wrong.
I will need to double check. I thought if someone already controlled a similar enemy he would get all new instances of that type, like one person has a green raider that he would get assigned any new green raider. This lead me to simply the rule a little to assigning a scroll while at least one of that enemy is up.
Yes, you are right about that. If a player already has an enemy with same type and level he will be assigned the next one as well. I'm trying to learn the game myself so that's why I was asking. Very helpful video by the way.
Vamireon DarkBlade but this is the (restart) video. I love the series and you do a great job. Was just curious about that and assumed it was a mistake. =)
Without holding the camera or setting uo the camera on an armature it is hard film upclose and move back and forth. Have you watched this game on dice tower's channel yet?
Vamireon DarkBlade dice tower has a lighting problem but gaming geek has the best we're u can read the cards but at least your doin the campaign we're usually everyone does the first mission and no one continues like dungeon saga.
Yeah most places run their channel for profit and that leads to only dabbling in a game or just teaching how to play it. I like having the overview of the entire board and changing the camera around slows / hinders play for me personally. My friend ran the Dungeon Saga campaign if you are still looking for videos on it (Josh H Gaming Corner).

Sidenote: The "dog symbol is a gremin." No big deal, but it kinda fits with their theme.
Thanks!
I am going to have a hard time breaking the habbit of calling it a dog symbol.
Coming tomorrow and looking forward to playing this. Nice video, don't sweat the "to far, to dark" comment, since you explained things well.
Awesome! I hope you like it. I am having a ton of fun it.

Sorry about the loss. I'm like you, I want all the treasure I can get. I may have to rethink Auriel if you failed with Morrigan.
I just had some bad rolls. I think Auriel is a good damage character. I looked through all the weopons and the only goods one I found is an artifact that might be a quest reward... I think she is intended to be a spell slinger. I would hold off all support spells until level four. If you are a law party i suggest grabbing ice manipulator, Thunder lord and then magic bolt.

Thats what i do. My witch hunter has range 1, so i hang 1 area back when possible.
Thanks. I'll drop that then and take something else. And like you I don't mind replaying a game I enjoy to start fresh. I do the same thing with video games.

When you step through the first door you have los to both shadow tokens I believe
Thanks! I will check that out tonight anf add the correction.
I don't think he is correct.
Yeah, i think the black wall prevents the sight.
Right when you open the door (but before walking through) there is LOS to the guy who is further away - you can run a line through the x's
You’re players don’t start with forged weapons and they don’t start with weapons or armor.
Yeah, I messed up and had that sword on the wrong side. It was a pretty big mistake.
i have a question about the rules,i was wondering how the dice results work when attacking and defending,when u roll for example 2 dice and the first dice had the two lightning bolts on it and the second dice had 1 hit and 1 lightning bolt on it,how do i use them?i have to count the number of lightning bolts i have in total (for this example 3 bolts) or do i have to use them appart from each other?Like i can only activate a power that recuires 2 bolts when i roll a die with 2 bolts on it or i can use like 2 seperate bolts from dice results to combine them to use the power that recuires 2 bolts?Also i was wondering how u keep the ennemy's appart from each other?If u spawn 2 green orcs u have to put something beside the miniature to know who is who?

The mage. Seems underpowered at first. Needs a new weapon badly.
Sorry to say, but I'd pull them because of the missed powers on the Gremlins as well. Or put notes in them.
I changed the old ones to unlisted.
Doesn't the red guy count as 2 guys (2 sets of Health) so your warrior wouldn't dominate against him when alone
All my SnS is currently packed up, but i do not remember him counting for 2. It is usually the larger models that count for 2, like orcs and big purple enemies. It lists counts as 2 on the rules of a model from what i recall.
Do you get to roll defense die for blue gremlin spine attack? I've read somewhere that you can't
My reasoning is it says hits and the red one is something like suffer 1 hp. So if you can not defend the hits, then the blues ones the would have a stronger spines than the boss.
Also, movement also only occurs before combat. You cannot fight and then move
In section 4.2.1 it states that activatives can be performed in any order. Attack/move or move/attack, etc. I do believe you are not allowed to split movement though, so you could not move some, attack and then move again.

So if you have enemies at range 0 you perform your range 0 programming on the highest priority in range. I will double check the rules tonight, let me know if you think this wrong.
cool ass game huh
It is pretty great and i love the death penalty aspect. Do you own it?
When assigning enemies don't you assign enemy cards to each player and not the scrolls?!
I will need to double check. I thought if someone already controlled a similar enemy he would get all new instances of that type, like one person has a green raider that he would get assigned any new green raider. This lead me to simply the rule a little to assigning a scroll while at least one of that enemy is up.
Yes, you are right about that. If a player already has an enemy with same type and level he will be assigned the next one as well. I'm trying to learn the game myself so that's why I was asking.
Very helpful video by the way.
How do you have a forged weapon at the start of the campaign? Your tank has the forged side face up.
It should not be... I will need to check if I used the 1 hit from it. Luckily this mission was failed and I corrected it in the replay.
Vamireon DarkBlade but this is the (restart) video. I love the series and you do a great job. Was just curious about that and assumed it was a mistake. =)
too far away n too dark to watch this
Would it be better if I focused in on where the characters were?
Vamireon DarkBlade yea because there r not alot of videos of this game n I'm probably gonna get it
Without holding the camera or setting uo the camera on an armature it is hard film upclose and move back and forth. Have you watched this game on dice tower's channel yet?
Vamireon DarkBlade dice tower has a lighting problem but gaming geek has the best we're u can read the cards but at least your doin the campaign we're usually everyone does the first mission and no one continues like dungeon saga.
