Fantastic! Realm getting some CZcams love!
23.00 min in I think this will be a short campaign
I've got some surprises I can try out :)
I've been enjoying your videos. I play Mordheim and am thinking of getting Frostgrave to play solo.
Good timing. I'll be starting up a regular Frostgrave campaign shortly.
@@thetabletopengineerplays super, I can’t wait to watch.
Theme aside, do you think the world builder books works better in D100 dungeon or D100 space? As far as mechanics and how the system works?
Good question. I haven't actually read the World Builder book for D100 Space... but I do have it and it's on my list to consider. As for D100 Dungeon WB... I really am enjoying the mapping part of it and the movement and exploration. The risks and encounters are fun.
I've been meaning to ask, where did you get the booklet pdfs for the rule and map reference. I checked Ganeshas website, didn't see it there... I was about to dig thru Drive Thru RPG, but figured it would be faster to just ask you.
I honestly cannot remember - they are little PDFs that I found somewhere and printed them out, but no idea where they came from.
Okay, so they come WITH the core rules if you buy on DrivethruRPG.com - that's what I was told when I inquired on the FB group. I hope you can find them.
@thetabletopengineerplays yeah someone told me that... I own the book in print already, I'll think about getting a pdf...
Are rolls of one not an auto fail? Sorry if you house ruled this and I missed it. Thanks for these vids
I have NEVER found the page in the core rulebook where it says 1s are autofails on attacks. I did find where it says 1s are autofails on defense. Would love an answer to this one.
Looking forward to the following parts! Since I am not a native english speaker, every Lets Play and visualisation makes it easier for me to understand the rules! Thank you 😊
You're welcome!
I think you forgot the treasure roll after you defeated the vampire frogs 😊 (around the 20-21 min mark)
I do that :)
@@thetabletopengineerplays pobody's nerfect!
Question brother, were did you get those player character pictures you show of youre party from with all there stats with picture, and can you point me to were i can buy em or purchase the program to use em. Thank you
Those are just photos of the miniatures I use and the stat cards I made in Canva.
Isn't the first room a roll, if not between 6 and 12 you just make it 6? So in your first rolls you wouldn't re roll just make a 6 square entrance.
Probably... a lot of the rules I was learning when I started the campaign.
@@thetabletopengineerplays I am doing the same so glad to find your vid.
When a boss loses more than half his life his level decreases by one and he must make a morale roll. (p.22) Fleeing monsters count as defeated, you get treasure. (p.55) A boss who flees counts as defeated, XP is gained. (p.72)
I'm so glad I saw this! I didn't know there was a Realms expansion. Time to late pledge 😁
That art is amazing! My wish to know more increases
Thanks for doing these videos! I've only been able to get one turn done so far. Life, am I right? Anyway, when you discover your hills, shouldn't you discover who it belongs to and then Encounter the Land pg 68. You'd look up Hills pg 89 and roll for an encounter? I am looking at the help sheet on pg 264.
Yes, I get the rules sorted by around episode 4 or so... I do go back in Episode 2 and roll up the encounters, so just hang tight.
@@thetabletopengineerplays Awesome! Yeah, I've stumble with rules a lot at first. I guess once the gameplay loop is understood it'll get easier. I really appreciate your playthrough though. It's the only one on CZcams.
Shouldn't there have been a morale check at some point? Ah, you realised.
zombies aren't skeletons so the rogue's mace shouldn't do extra
😢😅😮😊😊😢
Thanks
Very impressed, James. You laid it out really well. You summarised the rules clearly. The only thing that you forgot to do, which is easy in the first game, is whenever you reveal a new plot you also need to roll on the relevant land type encounter table. These are from page 69 onwards. They are the meat and potatoes of the game and it’s there that you will find encounters and experiences. Have a flip forward so you can just see those tables and it’ll give you a clearer idea. Don’t forget, there are also mini lairs. These are like small dungeons you can explore where you can gain experience points and find treasure. So far so good. You can go back and roll for the hills encounter and then move forward. Nice work!
Yep, I figured this all out around episode 4 (I think)... ironing out the rules as I play.
James, I would download the game again from the link you were sent. It looks like you have an older version. That error at the beginning has been corrected. Continuing to watch the video….
I'll do that, Toby.
You've got yourself a new subscriber! I just discovered the ttrpg/dungeon crawl type games. There are so many good ones. I'm looking at starting with four against darkness, but this game also looks fantastic!
Welcome aboard!
First time watching your content, nice work! Quick question: when you fought the two trolls were they supposed to regenerate?
yes, but I thought I assigned one of my characters each to do the final hit to chop 'em up. Maybe I didn't.
2d6 Dungeon and 2d6 Realm backer myself, but I find I rarely have spare time to play anymore. One day though I get to this one, the Dungeon version was awesome! I've been waiting for this series! Keep them coming!
I've already got 5 or 6 episodes shot and edited, so plenty more on the horizon.
Intrigued by this. The art is incredible.
I'll tell my boy... age 17. He does digital art (at school and for fun) and he always comes up with good stuff. He traces a lot, but he's getting better at figures. I wasn't a fan of the doorway (too dark and too round) but love the sunset.
@@thetabletopengineerplays I think it’s incredible. Is the game strictly 1 player?
Not 100% sure, but I only play it solo.
Beautiful work ❤❤
Thank you.
Been doing up some iron core storm troopers I do love the extra parts wargames Atlantic gives
They are really well done sprues.
Oh just curious where did you get the trees If you don't mind me asking? The tall ones are AWESOME!!!!
Those are from Rocket Pig Games on MyMiniFactory -- here's a link to one set: www.myminifactory.com/object/3d-print-canopy-trees-163360
I SO like that spinning table. Going to check Walmart for cheap one. Man you tables look SO AWESOME!!!!!! Great job!!!!!!
Thanks - I looked and looked for a cheaper lazy susan but couldn't find anything. Let me know if you find something cheap and good. Just make sure it doesn't spin too freely.
Hey Big Guy:)!!!!! Great to see you doing a preview of the team before playing!!!!! I knocked out 140 phase 1 clone troopers for a massive star wars game (some day LOL) I did I think about 600 CIS droids so I'm going to need WAAAAAAAAAY more clones!!!!! I want to do Geonosis and Kamino.Ya Kamino is going to be a BIG BUILD. Any way GREAT to see the process and I've been LOVING your tables!!!!!!!!
140 troopers????
This is great. I'm painting some pirates as I'm watching this, getting ready to start my first Stargrave campaign pretty soon, super excited!
Have fun - it's a great game.
Did you make the terrain pieces yourself?
Yes, those are my laser cut terrain pieces. Glad you like them.
@@thetabletopengineerplays good job, very nice indeed!
Yes, I did... laser cut stuff mixed with some 3D printed stuff.
For caucasian skin tones, I use Burnt Sienna plus white. For darker skin tones, I use Burnt Umber, a bit of Burnt Sienna, and sometimes a tiny bit of white. And for very dark skin tones, Burnt Umber plus Black. I never use anything with a label that mentions any sort of skin color anymore.
I like those suggestions!
To me militia implies unorganized and underequipped. Instead of a full uniform, how about PART of a uniform, say the shirt, and then mix the trouser colors. Shirt in a standard green, brown, camo, or blue...and then have them wearing trousers like jeans, khakis, leather, even a different camo scheme like a hunters vs military camo. I say camo if youre up to that hellacious task. Ive successfully painted a couple of camo miniatures but its a lot of work and sooooo easy to screw up.
For me. the yellow are the low-cost, generic uniform for the most discerning militia volunteers :)
@@thetabletopengineerplays "Now on the runway is Max...in his yellow utility jumpsuit for the busy, on-the-go, discerning, militiaman. Notice the numerous pockets, because when you need that extra magazine, its no good back at home."
How’d you create a dry erase warband sheet?
I make them with my laser.
Nice!
Cobb County gamer represent!
Smyrna here, Jesse.
@@thetabletopengineerplays I'm in East Cobb, not far from Gigabites.
I get to Gigabytes quite often... Saturdays at 11am for Marvel Champions. What games are you playing at GB?
@@thetabletopengineerplays haven't been playing much recently, but I love MC! I'll try and make it up there next Saturday
We'd love to have you - we have a good sized group that meets on Saturdays at 11am. Usually have enough for two separate games. They also meet on Thurs night in Smyrna at the Viking Mead Brewery at 6:30pm... I try to go on Thurs when I can.
The expansion rules for 5 Parsecs really add something to both Campaign and battle and not just around the weapon updates. Currently my favourite add-ons from the Compendium are difficulty toggles, Enemy AI, battle wounds, and Enemy deployment options make for a more fun and challenging battle phase. For campaigns, the reworked Quest and expanded mission sections make quests interesting and more story driven - makes journaling your campaign a bit more structured as a narrative. Factions are fun but really more of a background/campaign element which might not translate well on video. I recommend page marking the sections of the compendium you want to use so it makes swapping between the two books easier - or make your own Quick Reference sheet.
Thank you for this. I was having such a hard time groking the room creation rules. Example play made things so much clearer! Also, where did you get that map/notes sheet?
Is this what you're looking for - drive.google.com/file/d/1j0ap61KhqllWFRjFlMJLH0JTlFUnjdSE/view?usp=drive_link
@@thetabletopengineerplays yep. Thank you!
