So, SCP the Boardgame. I'm in.

Yeah, I’ve always been baffled by 13A isn’t betterloved. And I completely don’t understand Pelgrane press. My customer experience with them has been absolutely horrible for years. The few times I’ve seen them at major, major conventions their presence is beyond underwhelming. I asked questions about some items in the lineup and they literally shrugged. They don’t seem to know what they’re doing.

Just discovered your channel, fantastic... I've said, you can tell the players WHAT their characters see, smell, hear, taste, touch, etc... their senses, but never tell the players HOW anything! How you feel, or what you feel... I guess the externals versus the internals... the internals are always for the player to give life to, to tell, to describe., never for the GM. As a GM I want players to have complete agency over their characters unless some game mechanic comes into play and lately, I've been pondering emergent happenings, proactive roleplaying and the world is more reactive to the players rather than the players reacting to what happens around them... just some outload thoughts.

I have been running a campaign. Currently my players went from being Gangers Scum to Rogue Traders lol

13th Age brought me here. Your videos helped me jump in. I'd love to hear your impressions of the 2e materials.

There has been a crazy inflation in kickstarter prices. Can't catch up unless it is something I am extremely interested in. A few years ago, I could back out of interest a project, now, I have to think really hard whether it is something that justifies the price and will see table time.

I know this is an older video but I'm just info diving into W&G now and I'd definitely like to know if you're looking for folks to play and dicuss about it?

It sounds a bit like the world of darkness dice system. Just with d6 instead of d10.

you forgot to mention DnD in the Topic ! :)

This is how you do a game review. I'd love to hear your thoughts on other games like Symbaroum and Vampire the Requiem.

It seems expensive because they offer SIX books. Which is A LOT. Just starting with the worldguide and the first adventurebook would start you out at the same price as most other RPG games. D&D is actually more expensive per book.

How is this close to dnd? Its like saying cyberpunk and call of duty are close to each other because they're fps 😂😂

People need to stop associating every d20 game as some form of D&D. Cosmere Rpg IS NOT a D&D game. Using the d20 does not equal D&D.

Overpriced? Even with shipping the GM tier is less expensive than any combination of 6 D&D books. Maybe that's just the exchange rate

I compared the pricing of everything with DnD books and minis and products and the price is honestly suuuuper reasonable. And lots of ways to customize what you get via Add-ons anyways too. SO excited for this :)

Oh and also, if you scroll down to the resources, you can get a free pdf of the beta rules. They might change and don't have all the stuff, but still neat

As somebody said, the digital tier 1 let's you pick any combo of 2 books. You should check the stretch goals, though I get that editing takes time so the video might have been made before they revealed it

Played the first half of the test adventure this weekend and will conclude on the next. Very interesting system, great RP possibilities, plot die is fun without being a burden like FFG's Star Wars. And being in the Cosmere, to me, is a huuuuge plus.

The 60 and 90 dollar tiers let you pick which 2 books you want. So to get the game rules digitally is only $60.

I think the lure of IP can be very helpful to the ttrpg space. My first game was the West End Games version of Star Wars. From there, I witnessed the same group play VtM and D&D. I've loved the hobby ever since.

Very interested, but I can wait.

What is the difference between the old w&g core book and the new one should I get the new one or is the old one okay to use with the starter set adventure

You sold me on 13th Age for the new campaign I'm planning. Thank you, good sir.

Ive been playing Delta Green for the past couple years, and the character bonds system is the best part. I like Call of Cthulhu as well, but the major difference was one of my players having to lie to his wife, miss a 4th of July celebration together to go on the mission, and then eventually die. The realisation that his wife never knew where he went or would ever know what happened to him sunk in... And it was amazing. Talk about horror.k

Genuinely gut wrenching material- if you read Delta Green for anything, its the deeply unsettling "gets under your skin" vibes of it, a horror that's all too real. If you read the post-script for the God's Teeth campaign, your stomach will sink, I guarantee it

But what's the gameplay loop? Old school D&D has a gameplay loop based around dungeon crawling and loot. Traveller has a gameplay loop revolving around spaceship mortgages. What is Wrath and Glory's gameplay loop that helps the game play itself and gives agency to the players?

Of course I, too, want these Coast‑dwelling Wizards dead. They killed off games that I know and still love to this day! Happy 20th anniversary... To that dead game. 🥲😥

Not even Hasbro-Wiz can kill DnD, as long as players always come back and buy their slob. They are the Nestlé of ttrpg

Every piece of art is a just a slight variation of elements from other pieces of art. Repeat the process over and over again, and you get creativity

"We don’t need to kill DnD" okay but I want to

Do you think basic fantasy will be a good start for a group with no experience in ttrpg?

That sounds like a good time!

Wrath & Glory is a great game, and now that Imperium Maledictum is out, it turns out it's a great game too (skill based, d100). Turns out 40k is a great setting for more than "just" wargames and novels and video games!

Ever since I discovered Ironsworn (including Starforged and Sundered Isles), I have found it decidedly difficult to get back into other gaming systems due to the astounding capacity for the aforementioned system(s) to replicate practically any (and I do mean ANY) existing gaming system due to the inherent narrative based style of play. External gear and equipment is kept so abstract that it's not really important what a thing is or can do because the only thing that's relevant is whether or not said object in question moves the story along in a meaningful and productive way. Case in point, a player needs to take a journey...if they're on foot, it's a relatively long and dangerous; if they're riding then it's far swifter and only troublesome at best. Any details regarding the steed is purely up to the player...it could be a horse, or a dragon. The only time stats or attributes are assigned to a particular thing is determined by whether or not said subject has enough impact on the story to warrant specifications. Reskinning Assets will become second nature - I created a Druid with the ability to influence the weather. I couldn't find an Asset to adequately represent said ability...so I reskinned LIghtbearer and called it Stormbringer using the same Asset mechanics regarding energy acquisition (requires meditation out in nature), using weather related abilities to influence outcomes (spending energy to increase chances of success) and (of course) the ability to call down lightning powerful enough to smite a dragon (albeit only outside and above ground). I have used this gaming system to emulate the following genres: The Matrix, Battlestar Galactica, Star Wars, Star Trek, High and Low Fantasy, Superheroic, Victorian Gothic Horror, High Stakes Espionage (rife with political intrigue)...I daresay you could use this system to write a Young Adult or Romance novel. Once you get the hang of the rules and the overall system, the problem won't be where to start...it'll be where to stop because you're the author - you decide when the story's done. I advocate this system for anyone who's played other gaming systems and wished for something more, and/or to any freelance writer who's stuck in a rut because this system will help break through even the most ardent writer's block.

So... Funnily enough, I feel like this game is a little too close to D&D for my liking, particularly in terms of resource management. And to be quite honest, I'm not impressed by the "One Unique Thing" mechanic. My DC20 players have essentially created this thing entirely unprompted. This is a completely natural creative reaction when creating characters. It's the kind of thing you think of when creating a class with its race. That being said, I'm still open to buying this book. Because there are a lot of really cool things in here worth stealing for other games. I'm a big fan of the icon connection. I understand that I can homebrew this to whatever fits my narrative. But it's such a cool little mechanic to make your PCs feel more significant to the story and world

Would you be open to running a 13th game for any of your viewers who are interested? Because I'm pretty interested and would like a shot at playing!

I love how you came in, haha! Was watching a couple of your other 13th Age videos. I'm not surprised at all. (I am surprised that your channel isn't more popular). Also when your hair is shorter, you look like Tai Lopez :)

How about a video where you talk about specifics involved in playing a 13th age campaign? Have you done that yet? Any niggles that aren’t apparent when you read the rules or play a one shot, but become irritating after several sessions? Does roping in the icon all the time get… too much? And what about from a players pov? That turned out sounding like a list of demands - sorry! Just suggestions from an interested party 😊

MOAR 13th Age! <3 :3

13th Age was written, literally, by ex-D&D developers of the 3rd and 4th editions respectively. It isn’t that different and certainly hasn’t killed D&D.

Alright, no. You lost me when you said made by the same people that made 4th edition d&d. You further lost me and turned me away from trying this game by asserting that it was the correct and only game we should be playing. You don't have the Charisma score high enough to make that sound anything but condescending. So no, I will not be trying this game.

Honestly they just needed to blast an advert for 13 days.

Tales of the Valiant is basically 5e. DC20 is inspired by 5e and pathfinder 2e, taking ideas from both, but it is neither one nor the other. It is its own thing for sure. Reminds me of an old game called True20.

One thing KS has shown me is that traditional designers are bad at marketing, CZcamsr KS have much bigger hauls. Whether 13A, Shadow of the Weird Wizard or ToV, they all pale next to DC20, MCDM RPG or even Shadowdark (a one person project…) Personally I like what I have seen from SotWW, not impressed with 5e 2024

I always thought Delta Green was just like cthulhu meets x files buta BudsRPG review of impossible landscapes really opened my eyes. Then watches glass cannon and loved it...

WotC is the true D&D killer. 3e sucked and it's only gotten worse since then.

Is different better?

Would love to try this but I just bought a bunch of Pathfinder 2e books and have started running it. Really liking that system.

Pelagrane Press is woke though.

13th Age just had a Kickstarter and I've heard none of it!? Awful for me, a blessing for my wallet. 😅
