Talespire is very cool indeed. Only reason I have yet to purchase it is that it does not in any way support systems. I'm not dropping Foundry, which automates almost everything on the system, to having to do everything by hand again. nah.
"How to Play" videos are fantastic ways to attract people to a game! You immediately know if it's a style you like, and are given basics to hit the ground running when you start.
As someone who bought Talespire because of this channel and swiftly benched it because it was too complicated, this is amazing. Talespire should pay you to make a masterclass on their vtt before wotc makes theirs
Yes! The first few hours are really tough. Once you get into the flow it's pure zen! I have a few tutorials on my channel that might help with building. 🙂
I actually use Talespire because of this youtube channel. Thank you so much for promoting it. Also the makers of Talespire, read my comment. He lead me to your game and I love using it for my campaign.
Holy shit. I've been using talespire as my main VTT basically since it came out. I never knew about double right click. or the flashlight. This is the best talespire tutorial on the internet.
Thank you Zee! You've been recommending it for years and with their new seats system I finally felt like I could afford it. Picked it up for my table but had trouble a few things which this video has solved completely.
Nice! I knew some of these tricks, but Shift+Click was new! Thanks, Ze! I also found the thought process behind this video was funny, "Lemme make a thing for my players," to "Wait a moment! SPONSOR!!"
Fun, informative, and probably the best advertisement for Talespire as it gives you a good/better idea of what's available, what's possible, and helps you skip the glorpy bits of learning some basic and useful stuff. Also that subtle map flex at the start was cool!
Heya folks, TaleSpire dev here. We're fixing the colliders on those arches, so they should be less of a pain soon (along with a few other little collider annoyances). Thanks again to Zee for the cracking video. Honestly, we'll probably be directing folks here to help them get started too!
Could you also fix the Fog of War issue? You know the issue of not having a real Fog of War that people had been asking for since the very conceptualization of your product. I originally bought the program hoping that it would be implemented, but over two years later all I see is asset packs and a symbiote system. The literal best feature you all created so far has only been making a free-version so non-GM's could finally get others to join without too much hassle. That still took you all over two years to implement.
This was a well done tutorial in explaining and showing each step, and why it may cause confusion and how to easily fix the problems. A lot of tutorials will be like fast click, but not show you how to fast click, or change characters name without telling you the keys that do that. You sounded nervous at times but it was very easy to digest.
I use Talespire for a while now because of you, and you just opened up my mind to a beautiful universe of possibilities. Until now I tought I was running free, but now you gave me wings and I realize I was just crawling
Am I going to use this virtual tabletop ever? No, probably not. Will I retain anything useful from watching this video? No, probably not. Do I regret watching it? No, not at all. Here's to you not having to give this tutorial again!
thanks for doing the tutorial! i keep seeing you advertise this virtual tabletop system and never really thought to look at it. now that you did, I'm kinda digging it.
YES! Talespire is incredible. Random encounter? Load up Tales Terrain to generate landscapes to your specifications. Need an intricate map? Someone has probably already made something similar, and it’s as easy as copy and pasting a single time. This is the gold standard for immersion and combat purposes.
@@Drankoii A mod that can be downloaded and accessed through the in-game menu. It opens up a small menu with varying sliders, biome options, etc. then creates it. It’s extremely seamless
For now my group plays at home but if one of us had to move too far, Talespire seems like the best solution to keep the campaign going. I would really like some more videos like this one to see what Talespire has in store !
Every time I've created maps they seem to take a lot more effort than I'd expect, though the camera stuff you covered here definitely affected some of it. I absolutely agree that a similar style video but for map creation would be *very much appreciated*.
@@Xaqaria I ultimately moved away from talespire after running a game in it for ~2 years. It’s an amazing to and the immersion was fantastic, but it was easily 2x the effort on my end to find or often create maps. I use Foundry now, which is a wonderful VTT, but I still kind of miss the 3D element of talespire.
1:35 I love the animation detail of the terrain being lifted when you need to look below it. It's like you're taking it off that part of the model IRL in order to see the miniature. To me, this indicates that it's being made by people who love playing tabletop games. I might give it a try based on that alone.
THANKS A LOT! I got TaleSpire from your ads, and already played a couple of games, and my players LOVE IT! We got most of the controls, but this video have showed me something new to learn! (i'm talking about that rmb double click. i have never used it) (oh! and that 4th ruler that ingame tutorial never cared to explain)
fr devs haven't update the ingame tutorial for some features and i had no idea what some of the buttons do or how to turn off that heaven light or how to make aoe spells last without taking the control from player (i do now)
Behold, the Impassable Archway! Forged of simple, earthen stone and mortar, it appears as a seemingly normal addition to anyone's garden, cave, or other natural landscape of interest. However, any attempt to pass through the Archway is met with an intangible force that prevents anyone from moving through it. I'm totally using this as a silly, little obstacle if I ever get to DM.
The most important thing about CTRL+C copying an existing miniature is that it keeps all of its stats. So if you use the in-game stats for stuff like AC, ammunition, or even ability scores, then all of that, the names, the size, and the HP is copied towards the paste of that specific mini that you CTRL+C copied. VERY handy if you're placing down multiple goblins for instance and you don't want to keep editing every single one of them
Well presented as always, sir. You get a lot of leeway for being entertaining. I'd love to tray tailspire, but finding a solid online group has been tough.
Zee, one of the main uses of the Tab key is to zee (hehe) where you put your INVISIBLE mini. Because you can make them invisible. And then... yeah... Seriously. I love this feature cause it lets me hide a bunch of stuff in plain sight and then BOOM!
Hey Zee, long time first time, I've been trying to learn how to build/play in Tale Spire for a while now and the tutorials out there for it are poo. I think Tale Spire should have you make more of these because this was great! Thanks for the video!
I bought this for myself and all of my friends. I have barely used it. I dont regret this purchase at all. My friends need to upgrade their potato computers!! I want to use it more.
Talespire is great. When they added custome mini support it was a game changer. Now they just need custom decoration and walls/floors. The selection is good don't get me wrong but I'm quite tired of mashing together the same 3 trees and rocks in different configurations to try and get unique looking nature
I've been using Owlbear Rodeo, but I gotta admit, this looks pretty slick. If I wasn't a stickler for how my maps look, I might be willing to give this a try. This looks far too complicated to map build for me. And the folks I play with come over to play, so my map is mostly for illustrative purposes on the big TV.
Zee i have a question. Since the COPPA hysteria is more or less done, is there any chance you'd bring back some of the videos you took down because of it? One that comes to mind is the one going over how spell components and arcane foci work with the examples that were animated being friends and circle of death, would like to see those videos again cause some of them have helped me remember how some rules work in 5e.
I wish there were more tutorials like this for Talespire, could you maybe do one on how to quickly setup a map or the basics of playing on it? I have it since the kickstarter but never got around to learning it and when tried to create a map it took for ever to do for just one house and was not very good. Is there a place to get generic pre made maps? It seems like it would be pretty fun to run or play a game on it but from my experience it was hell to prep, like you are the DM, already having to prep everything, spending 2h creating a map on top of that seems unreasonable for every session of combate.
For the love of of all the gods please make more tip videos about talespire. I can never find any good stuff like this, i have more than a thousand hours making maps and i never knew about the shift move. I need to know what other tips you have

animated or not, any zee video is a gift from the heavens
Praise be.
at this point zee's vocal inflections are so linked to the animations that they hijack my brain and force me to see animations anyways

@@Ins4n1ty_ There are symbiotes! I use it to pull up roll20 in the game to read statblocks
@@WhoseYourVladdy I'm allergic to Roll20, I'd prefer to not have my data leaked through myriad hacks due to incompetent IT
@@Ins4n1ty_ There's a symbiote that let's ya use Foundry's bookkeeping.
It's the absolute best! :-D I've had so much fun building in it, including making videos of it here on YT. It's super addictive!
Never thought that a tutorial for movement would be one of the best ads I've seen for a game, but here we are.
"How to Play" videos are fantastic ways to attract people to a game! You immediately know if it's a style you like, and are given basics to hit the ground running when you start.
_Yo!!_ Double-right click for the camera pivot, and shift-left click for miniature movement is *_GOD SENT_*_ information, _*_THANK_*_ you, Zee!!_

1:41 Zee's playful thinking out loud as he moves the mini back and forth is delightful enough, but it's also perfectly in sync with the music.
Easily one of the most enjoyable tutorials I've ever watched!
Thanks! I tried to channel Ian Hubert hahaha
Honestly, this is actually the best AD for Talespire that you have done. Now I'm kinda interested in it.
Seeing this in action has actually made me want to get Talespire. Would love to see more tutorials like this!

Pls more of these on talespire! There isn’t enough simple tutorials out there for GMs
It’s like DnD One, but it actually exists and is functional! Talespire looking good.
This is going to be SO helpful for my new group! Also, I think it should be noted that only the DM can create a mini

Same.
This tutorial does make me want to see some pros use it really well in a Corridor Crew style way, but Live.
You really should if you're looking for a heroforge capable vtt
thanks for doing the tutorial! i keep seeing you advertise this virtual tabletop system and never really thought to look at it. now that you did, I'm kinda digging it.
Thanks for the tutorial - just picked this up for me and my group. Your the best zee
Zee, thank you for this. It's awesome seeing a sponsor as a tangible piece of software I'm actually excited to try. You're a good teacher.
Please do more stuff like this! I just got talespire and need more tutorials that arent boring as hell!
I have some tutorials on my channel you might give a try. I also recommend "It's Nket" for tutorials. He taught me a ton of TS.

Back in my day there was no lasso tool you had to move everything ONE BY ONE!
But yeah they have made some improvements that is nice.
I’ve been using Talespire for years…. I learned a lot in this video
I am using TaleSpire for my campains for almost 3 years now and this is a realy good tutorial. I'm gonna use it for sure in the futur
This was really helpful! I've been holding off on getting talespire for a while and this just raised it to 'want immediatly'.
For now my group plays at home but if one of us had to move too far, Talespire seems like the best solution to keep the campaign going. I would really like some more videos like this one to see what Talespire has in store !

This told me several new things about how to control stuff in talespire thank you Zee. You are the reason I found talespire in the first place.
Actually just blew my mind with the double right click
This makes Talespire look worth checking out.
Just bought tailspire during the summer sale, saving this for the future
That was concise, accessible, and informative.
Thank you for the heads up in the video title. I'm still going to watch but it is appreciated.
Doing the lord’s work with this tutorial
Thats the best sponsorship opening I have seen. Ever.

YOOO I JUST migrated my table to talespire!
I gotta get back to figuring out how to use this! Those maps are amazing and I had no idea about the ghost movement
Please more Talespire tutorials!
That map was sick! Playing with you would be a pleasure I'm sure!
Great tutorial! I’d love to use this tool more. I picked it up because of this channel but I’m so bad at designing maps!
been using Talespire and this video... super helpful! thank you
This program looks really cool.
Very helpful, thank you! Super glad it was listed.
I've played with it a bit, the movement has always been frustrating. This is a good and quick primer.
i move to the comments and cast Engagement
I'll use the Help action.

Excellent video and good tutorial - thanks, Zee!
Super nice to have in the back for the future!

I had no idea Tailspire was on steam. I'm sold, tell your Advertiser overlords that the tutorial worked. *insert Fry with a fist full of cash meme*
Please make more talespire tutorials Zee, i have been bashing my noggin againts my keyboard for the past year trying to figure talespire out.
Great tutorial!
Talespire looks neat!
I think my laptop would explode trying to run it
The Bashaw kitchen is never not cookin’
Can we have a building tutorial too?

shift click move is a game changer
wdym not animated? I thought it was very animated

I would love to see more tutorial videos on talespire. I have it but a lot of things dont make sense to me
Yeah watching people who are proficient in it shows how quick and versatile it can be. But as a newbie it can feel daunting
Is Hero Forge integration functional yet? I've been waiting for it since they mentioned it, but no dice. Dunno if I want to reinstall yet it yet.
Nice! I'll send this to my players. Also, I'd be down for a video showing off your map 👀
Up, down. Up. Down?
Up. Down!
UP.
DOWN.
Edit: ok you got me.
I'm buying Talespire asap.
Larrymore session 1 when?
Took me awhile to realize he's saying "cut height" and not "cuddite".
Thought cuddite was some hot new word the VTT crowd were using and felt lost lol
I hope you make more tutorials for tailspire. Love the program but my dumb brain has a hard time with it.
I’d love to use something like this
But my friend groups use a variety of tech
Delightful!
