Rowan playing an armless character is what we in business call foreshadowing
Soo true
Ohh gosh that's actually smart xD
lol
Also what you'd call a "gamble"😂
This comment won't be as funny in a year, but today it deserves a trophy
Rowan actually remembering one of his abilities is really weird...
Someone give him inspiration!
tbf he's been doing pretty well lately in the NPC DND campaign as well lol
I had no idea this channel existed until today, but as a Flesh and Blood player, I'm thuroughly enjoying the banter and clean presentation here. Super cool to see you guys playing this amazing game!
They do some of the funniest skits about video games. I love girl gamers videos.
Welcome to the channel! I love the skits on their main channel and the D&D games here, and I'm enjoying their first Flesh and Blood game ^_^ It looks like a great game!
As a big flesh&blood fan and competitive player at heart I loved to see more casual approach to the game❤
Sorry we played like such novices 😅
But you played, that's what I find important @@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD
..... Hold on...
This isn't D&D!
What's going on!?
Rob, where are you?!
I'm scared!!
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!
What do you mean Rob is at the end of the table patiently waiting for them to get off this tangent in the middle of a D&D Session
Save us Rob!!
I'm here, don't worry, you're safe.
@@RobertHartleyGMRob come home 😭
As a regular Yu-Gi-Oh player, I really enjoyed this content. I've not played Flesh & Blood, but loved the way you started playing, explained the game as you went AND kept the silliness that VLDL D&D is so amusing for. I'd watch more, simple as that.
I'm going to mention this right away because this is the most common mistake new and established players make: you can't pitch cards for no reason. The correct sequence is to announce the card/ability you're playing _and then_ pitch for it if you don't already have enough resources. Otherwise Rok would be the best weapon and fuse effects become even more broken (since you could just fuse with the card you'd be using to pitch) :P
Other important newbie mistakes I noticed:
1) @12:12 Rowan discards an Agile Windup using its instant ability, and completely forgets about his hero ability that would have also created a Might token for him, since this is the first time during one of his action phases when he discarded a card with 6 or more power. And if you're about to tell me that blue Agile Windup wouldn't do that, take a closer look at Kayo's abilities once again :P Rowan almost forgets about this once again at 21:45, but then quickly fixes the mistake. Alan, however, never remembered that the 1st time Olympia wins a wager, he gets paid in gold! Don't forget about your hero abilities, people, they are important!
2) This isn't a mistake, but I feel like the moment when Rowan uses Rally the Rearguard's instant ability @1:18:15 could have benefitted from a bit of explanation of the thinking process. When Rowan uses Rally the Rearguard's instant ability, he does this ahead of time (kinda like playing instants in Magic beforehand) which can make this play quite suboptimal. He could have simply defended with the card to see if Alan has an attack reaction in hand, and if Alan played one, Rowan could've activated the instant ability in response. In this situation Alan's hand was empty, so there was no attack reaction to be wary of, but overall, using Rally the Rearguard's instant ability at the right moment lets you learn an important piece of information about your opponent potentially having a deadly finisher.
3) @1:19:49 Alan pitches a blue card for his Cintari Saber (that only costs 1 to use) and has 2 resources left floating (and you might also see how Alan is a bit nervous :P). Rowan only defends for 2, which costs him the game. Whenever you're playing against Warrior and they present a small attack, but you see them with resources floating and cards in their hand and/or arsenal, that is most certainly a bait and they have an attack reaction ready. Warrior is the class that uses the most attack reactions in this game, so be vigilant and don't fall for their tricks!
I love VLDL, and I'm happy they're exploring new content but it feels so wrong to be here without Rob 😭
Yeah
It's like a pack of kids without Rob
I think he's earned a week off at least. 🍹⛱️
rob dead? :(
@@justinbarker1783yup he left the table because he couldn't deal with his players not remembering core game concepts.
So weird not seeing anyone behind the table
Rowan stumbling his way to big damage and Adam having great plans that just don't work out gives me flashbacks to the VR battle on the ship.
Doing card/board games opens up a whole new arena
Hopefully we do more in the future 😊
@@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnDAs a boardgamer I can suggest loads... But I recommend you guys have loads of ideas already. Please keep up the great work.... But don't over do it.. us fans want longevity.
4:24 Rowan casually peeking 😂
Cheater!!
I love the editing on the points throughout, the up/down made it easier to follow along
It was indeed, but as an improvement they could also display the subtracted damage and then the blocked amount, like some sort of scrolling combat text.
Ben just had to play Betsy - I'm sure he was thinking of Sandra when making that selection!
I bet he was! 😂
'Allo, dolls!
There’s two types of TCG players. Those that love FaB, and those that haven’t tried it yet. Love the content!
As a longterm viewer of VLDL and a Flesh and Blood Player from the first hr i love to see this. Please bring more FaB content!
What a joy to watch! Flesh and Blood is a fantastic game!
Thanks to Rowan for the comparisons with Hearthstone, it helped to understand what’s going on, and thanks to Ben for explaining the rules. At first, nothing was clear, but by the middle I began to understand the rules of the game. I also really liked the rugs.
Hurray for the winner! 🥳
P.S. If Adam had targeted Rowan, things might have ended differently.
Long time Magic player going back to 1995. I still love Magic, but FAB is my new love. So fun to collect too!!
Lately I've been kinda looking forward for you guys to play something else too in between DnD sessions. This is just perfect! Mind you I don't play TTRPGs myself but watching you guys play and have fun with it kinda makes me wanna try
It's great to see FaB getting other content creators in on it
I’m about 25 mins in at this point, so far, I like the flow because there isn’t cut scenes, but I like the cut scenes so I find myself wanting cut scenes here. i also feel like Rob adds a lot of value. I would love to see him essentially host the game and just let the guys riff. Similar to the bored one shot or the Halloween one shot. I thought to myself while watching the giant vice grip episode, I like the way they didn’t edit it and just let Adam riff. While Rob was looking for their minis. I thought it was so authentic to who this group is. I’ve also said it before. I would love longer D&D episodes, keep the cut scenes and make the episode longer.
I like this, it’s a change of pace, so I’ll keep watching
If you are doing more shows like this, you need a Top-Down camera for each player zone to show more zoomed what is going on.
Tolarian community collage has some great flesh blood introduction
Thats cool that the DM portion of the table detaches
Yeah! Means we can do more stuff like this in the future if we want
Ben appreciating art is so cool
He’s an amazing artist himself!
@@VivaLaDirtLeagueDnD can we see any of his drawings anywhere ? I am very interested to see good artwork i wish i wouldnt be that Bad in it myself 😅
@@Duriekenhe has an insta :)
@@DuriekenHe streams art on Twitch! It's good vibes, although usually too early for me to get to these days
@@Durieken If you go to Ben's twitch channel (BenVanLier) he does art streams fairly regularly
I love FAB, me and my grandson have 5 decks each.
Love how uncluttered the cards are. Magic you can be there for hours reading the cards.
I love how the cards can have just one line of text on them, but force your opponent into a really tough decision. E.g. there's a hero called Katsu who often starts his turns by attacking for 5 with a "Surging Strike" card that literally just says "Go again". But if he then follows that attack with one called "Descending Gustwave" (which normally costs 1 to play and attacks for 3), that becomes another attack for 5 with go again that costs nothing. And if that is followed by "Bonds of Ancestry", that's another attack for 4 with go again that costs nothing _and_ lets you search for the next combo piece. That is, if you just let that first attack through, you get 5+5+who knows how many damage. If you block it, you lose a few cards and still get hit for 5+whatever Katsu can find in his deck. All the lines of text on Magic cards just fall flat in how much strategic depth they offer
I play Flesh and Blood. These are blitz decks and they’re not meant to be competitive. Once you get to playing more meta cards, believe me, Flesh and Blood is far harder to keep track of than Magic.
I will add a caveat tho. If you’re playing an eternal format in magic and the game lasts more than 6 turns then it becomes harder than Fab imo.
Ooooh FAB is fantastic! So excited to see yall playing! Awesome that yall did this. MOAR FABS! lol
Finally they play FAB after having the sealed products on display in techtown for a while haha
Ever since I've seen that Vynnset poster I was wondering when you'll post a video with actually playing the game. Love it!
So many illegal or misplays in this video, including the winning one when Alan couldn't have played Fatal Engagement because it requires an ~attack~ action to be defending, and Rowan blocked with a non-attack action card.
Tbh the game's a bit confusing but I do appreciate the way Alan says "decks".
It's just weird at first then you get used to the game, just like any other, try it out!! 😁
Why does this feel like homework set by Rob 😂
It's them playing a downtime card game within the dnd game.
@@RobertHartleyGM Nice! This should be presented as canon next time! :D
@@RobertHartleyGM Should give Cosmic Encounter a try, an award-winning game about space politics and war lots of fun.
Didn’t realize how much I would love a Table Top channel with the boys, card games and board games. Can only dream
This is great! I love watching you guys learn to play together, it's really fun and relaxing! I always love the energy between you 4 guys so much :)
Finally :D I asked several times about the FaB booster boxes in the background of the Bored Series, good series by the way, I really like the new content.
Nice to finally see you make content of the game, even if it's "just" with starter decks, thanks :D
Im so glad your team got to work the FaB! I always see the booster boxes and FaB posters in your store skits and point it out to friends.
When can we expect a fun FaB skit?!
Really appreciated the running point totals in the corners & close-ups on a number of cards, tyvm. 😃
Also, this just reminds me of all the Hearthstone PSAs... and the "My Deck" pronunciations ..... man, good times.
I miss Rob brb gonna rewatch all 170 episodes of npc dnd
He's under the table
You should try Round the table. It has also four decks, a ninja, a guardian, a bard and a mechanologist but some decks have ways to create tokens by helping other players.
So great to see some of my favorite youtubers play my favorite game : )
“Don’t break your arm jackin’ him off, man!” 😂
A crossover for the ages! Big fan of your work and appreciate you featuring the best Trading Card Game ever made!
FaB4Life 💚💙💜!!!
I think Adam playing as a ring girl, during Hamish vs Bob, awakened something inside him
If it's anything like how it was for my friend we will see the first real sign when Adam seemingly out of nowhere shaves his beard and starts letting his hair grow long.
Making a joke for a skit doesn't mean anything. It does not correlate playing a female character in a character based game where the characters presumably have different pros and cons
@@General_Flores Went way over your head didn't it 😂
Come on, this one was too low hanging. Get better material.
Oh hell yeah gents! Absolutely love to see the FAB here!
Thank you! I’ve literally watched everything you guys have put out on this channel and the pauses between episodes were beginning to kill it for me.
I did not hear "put this in my arsenal" the first time.
This was really fun to watch! Flesh and Blood looks like a really fun game as well. I'd love to see y'all play more, or even other kinds of tabletop card games.
I enjoyed it a lot. Especially at 1:04:58, I really had a hearty laugh at Alan just putting the dagger to Ben. Poor guy. He had such a great turn planned.
Let's go Ben!!! Big fan of your Rolls!!
This got really heated by the end, and now I'm looking forward to you guys playing another competitive card game!
We’ll have to try out some more then!
WOAH never though id see yall play Flesh and Blood Ive been playing for years
Flesh and blood is an incredible game, glad you gave it a shot!
Super appreciate the zoom ins on the cards.
ive watched the main channel for a while and noticed the flesh and blood posters in a couple bored episodes so hype to see you guys actually play it
Gotta say. The whole time with Ben it was like his 0 charisma character. Everyone was like “you there! Fuck you!”
I love that Alan is so committed to a bit he’s willing to lose. I relate. I’m not very competitive at TT games. I think it’s partly about attention span and ADHD tho.
Thanks for sharing flesh and blood it is a really fun game to get into huge fan of FaB and you guys
Flesh and blood is the best TCG. We cosplayers have seen a prop here or there in your sets recently and we are hyped for it. I loved this video ❤
As a MTG player watching commander gameplay on yt, I'm excited to see you play a tcg. Not sure if I can follow, since I don't know the rules but it's always fun to watch you guys. :D
Rules are pretty easy to learn. Just saying. ;)
FaB is actually much easier to get into than MtG and also has quite a lot depth to it, even though cards seem deceptively simple. I've been playing MtG for more than 10 years, but after playing almost exclusively FaB for 8 months, MtG seems like its mechanics most of the time are just confusing and convoluted without actually having any depth, while FaB mechanics are most of the time extremely simple, but actually let you be much more strategic about how you use them
Oh man... vldl really just influenced me to buy this card game. Bough a deck and will be here in 3 days. I hope i don't regret it..
It's honestly a great TCG, even if you just play with preconstructed decks with your mates. Goes above and beyond the mastodons like MTG where you lose games because you didn't draw a land/drew too many of them
Welcome to FaB! It's a great game, I've been in it for about a year and I love it so much that when I go play commander I get bored easily lol
Aww thanks for the warm welcome guys... Much love❤️❤️❤️
Wow uploads on Thursday and Friday?
Yes please!
New content on Friday??? Thank you!!!
I'd pay any money in the world to see you guys play Commander (MTG). Adam looks like such a perfect Blue player ❤
Two things I thoroughly enjoy coming together, fantastic.
So, no, I am not a fan of board games, and no, I never thought I would enjoy watching an entire campaign/game of it, but this one ... I actually found myself wondering if I might like to play it for real. My son, who loooooves boardgames, must never find out. :P Thanks for the secret VLDL and Flesh and Blood. ;)
Ben, just so you know, I got the reference regarding the infomercial. They used to be all the rage here in Central Europe at the end of 90s/beginning of 2000s and practically everybody knows them, they are imbued in our psyche. :D So don’t worry, it wasn’t a personal joke for one, some of us get it! :D
THIS IS A DREAM
No Ben, he still has one arm. He's somewhat 'armless.
I've been playing flesh and blood for a while and was wondering if you were players since you played hearthstone back then and know James White (a friend of mine created one of the props you used that he gave you)
Glad to see you join the deathmatch arena !
Definitely do this again with, upgrades to y’alls decks!
It's nice to see a bunch of friends playing in a relaxed way and not at all like they're playing their lives... 😁
This looks so weird without Rob sitting at the end of the table.
I've noticed you had FaB displays standing behind the counter at Techtown before and Armory posters in the store. What was your relation with FaB before this video? Who put those in your sketches before?
How dare you attack me in a game that is all about attacking?!?
Love the chill atmosphere and the well played game!
Could you do more types of these videos cause this one was great
So cool to see how quickly you guys picked this game up considering how much depth there is. :)
Super important tip: DO NOT try to multitask while watching this! At 5:08, I could have sworn that Rowan and Ben had a brief discussion about Ben putting cards in his arsehole.
Yessss come meet your new lord and savior Flesh & Blood!
I know this isn’t a FAB channel but man I wish more dedicated FAB channels had this kind of production quality
Personally love watching all your videos, and now you're playing a game I enjoy greatly as well. Please keep up the great work and I hope you continue making FAB videos.
Oh cool, board and card games. Hopefully more to come
I love this so much !!! Fab is such an iconic game
You guys should do a series of going through baldurs gate 3 together as a party of 4. love the content though, leep up the great work
Check out the Tavern guys! Looks so good!
still can't find Wotsit..
Don't you see the little skull on the table?😢
Awesome video guys! So good to see more people getting into Flesh and Blood, Ive been playing foe a year now and its easily the best card game I've ever played! The game is designed so well so that your decisions matter so much and it makes it so thoughtful and balanced. I hope you guys will do some more of these soon!! 😁
I could totally get down with Viva doing a board game series. Betrayal at House on the Hill or Call of Cthulhu would be amazing.
This reminded me of when I first learned to play mtg. Love seeing content like this, regardless of my familiarity with the game
0:13 I don’t care what it is - I’m here for it!!
This is sick. It would epic to see you guys pull up to the Road to Nationals event at Card Merchant West City on the 17th
Love this! Thanks for helping to spread the word about this amazing game!
Already missing Rob but love trying out new content to the channel.
I'd like to know Rob, if you would run an Alien RPG for them. It'd be hilarious to see them panic further and further as they get further in. Especially Ben if he get's the terrible rolls he did in the earlier episodes of EpicNPC DnD, just stress rolls left and right.
I have the box set, I am intending to learn it to play it for them sometime.
You guys should play Red Dragon Inn. I think you would love it. And it's really easy to learn.
I've thought so
Did Adam and Ben swap seats to avoid a table flipping argument between Ben and Rowan?
Every time one of them says “My arsenal” for just a split second I think they’re saying “My a**hoIe”!
Dreams come true
Oh, hi Alex!
Open the video -> don't see Rob - > have zero idea how they're planning to remember game rules 😅
