No one does Shadowrun/Cyberpunk or Vampire and the builds would be amazing just a thought
If we buy the cassette from your website, does it still include the digital code for bandcamp?
Yes, all physical cassettes include a card with a Bandcamp download code!
Hey, I don’t know if you would consider a “supercut” of the tower project, like Wyloch did with his full Tomb of Horrors and White Plume Mountain builds, but if you do, count on several views from me, I love having crafting project videos on in the background while I’m crafting. Either way, thanks for all that you do!
For those wondering about the cassette purchase from the BMG website: I bought mine on the 3rd (the day the video was posted) along with a couple of block prints. I live in Canada one province away, and just got the package at noon of the 5th. comes with a download card for Bandcamp. The Cassette and the insert are just beautiful, and I can't wait for more of these Dungeon Crawls that I can put next to this one on my shelf, hopefully in the near future. Great music Jeremy, thank you!
Don't care if you play D&D, Warhammer or whatever. As long as you keep crafting I am happy. You made me into a good crafter and I will always be greatful.
Just wanted to let you know your channel is the one that made me realize how easy crafting stuff for my wargames and rpgs was and how okay it was to try new things and fail was.
and no matter how critical of my own builds i was the moment someone else saw it they were amazed at how great it was
I personally feel like I learn more from failing than anything else, I wish more people would get over failing being the worst thing and look at it as a learning opportunity instead, great comment!
Every now and then it's the opposite, I feel I do a masterpiece, and other people think it's stupid. Stay crafty brother, if it works, and you can make it fit as best you can, it's good. I bet your stuff is great.
"Vanilla yogurt" is the best description of new D&D I've ever heard. And I'm stealing it.
i love that you guys watch each others channels. Good luck with the health issues sir. I hope all comes out well for you.
The professor has spoken
"Plain yogurt" may be more accurate. Vanilla is delicious.
I mean.. it's not as if 5e wasn't already.
Epic! I'm honored to see Shadowdark among your glorious library of books, BMC. Happy gaming!
Our group dropped DnD around Christmas, and picked up Mork Borg. After a few years of DnD, it was such a refreshing change, and we haven't looked back!
If AD&D was your vibe, just play AD&D. It's still out there, still exists, and can still be as gritty and grim as you like. I DM four BECMI campaigns, and they all have their own flavour because old school systems are very open and flexible.
God OSE is fantastic... I even like advanced fantasy more than AD&D these days :)
Our group still uses 3.5, refuse to keep funding new books
Dude, I streamed you BMC soundtrack as I ran a funnel for my kids based in Dolmenwood a few weeks ago and it was a wonderful vibe. Excellent peasant crunching tunes!
Your channel is definitely one of my fav channels for creative inspiration! Love how much joy you get from different creative adventures and how openly you share that with everyone here. And now even music! Just brilliant!
Just wanted to mention the Idols of Torment soundtrack on loop was a hit during our Mothership game last week.
Nice! I actually have mothership coming in the mail soon.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial I think it'll definitely match your vibe.
It's a fantastic game, have fun!
Oooh, I will be running Mothership, this is very good to know!
Excited for you! Congratulations on following your hobby passions. Can't wait to see what's next. Also, i LOVE ShadowDark. My group has adopted it as our home-system and it has been perfect for us.
I think 5e is great for most people, but if you're into settings/rules that reflect specific themes and styles, you're much better off looking for something that specifically deals with that. BMC's aesthetic is miles removed from 5e's mainstream aesthetic and it's good for you to focus on what delivers what you actually want
5e is fine, but it sort of rules out certain playstyles without hacking it pretty extensively and is VERY high magic sort of built into the setting. If I was gonna run it I'd probably run something like Adventures in Middle Earth which makes it much lower magic and at the same time opens up a lot of the playstyles that are erased by the ubiquity of various utility spells like goodberry.
Just last Saturday I played ShadowDark with your Music as Background!
Hey man, one of the coolest things about you channel is how many twists and turns it takes! Keep doing stuff that you fins fun! And I can't wait to see what you come up with next!
You may have avoided the one big danger of operating a CZcams channel. Having to niche down and crank out constant content surrounding that niche can become a killer for creatives. Well done. If you can’t have some fun, it’s not worth doing.
So true, I was a industrial model maker for 16 years (degree and time served qualified) it killed any desire for the hobby side I had.
I changed careers and now love the hobby again 😊🎉
I resonate so much with your wandering journey through the hobby, starting as a player then DM, crafter, 3D printing, painting, resin printing. Now I sculpt minis for games and finally I’m starting to get back to actually playing the game (even if it’s only like once a month.)
Who hasn't at this point? Clownfish TV said that it's meant for theatre kids now, and honestly having spoken to such people I think they failed at even that. They cut out all the edge. If there's no conflict, no stakes, no edge then why would you fight? D&d is a combat and exploration game at its core, and they've carved out all the evil.
They made it too easy for people to play. There's too many ways to cheat death. And inevitably someone is gonna say "just use the old books." You could but if something is new people expect it to be better than the previous product.
Also your dungeon synth kicks ass, God bless ya man.
Ya ever tried Burning Wheel?
I'm a dungeon crawler, combat scenario guy at heart...I can only handle so much fluffy exposition and role play dialogue.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Something else that you might consider that is remaining inside the more D&D umbrella (I'd ended up stuck in it with a few game exceptions where it took a lot of effort to get people to try other things, and those were mainly Star Wars and StarGate which still used D20 though in different ways), is to look into the D&D Adventure System games. They're, essentially, a heavily streamlined version of the 4e rules turned into a board game with a lot of randomized elements that work well, and those elements expand a LOT if you combine the different games because they're all made to be compatible with each other (In fact, the first two games kind of end up unbalanced without the other due to the spread of things...and the third is more of a stand alone while still being able to work with the rest of them).
There's either 6 or 7 games in the line and each also comes with a LOT of minis, though they're largely unpainted versions of old WotC (and later WizKids) D&D minis that are color coded for easier use, though they do paint up really well.
It's also worth it to invest in card sleeves for it, at least each of the first sets had a "promo" card that was handed out at events which a lot of places have the image of, and used to also be on the WotC site where you could print them out and sleeve them (along with the other monster cards) to have a bonus monster that was a more generic version of one of the bigger boss monsters.
I'd found it an easier way to get people to mess around with a game because it kind of straddles between an RPG and boardgame in play, so easily gets people on the fence in while still having some of the proper feel so it's still familiar in other ways.
It's also more of a pure dungeon crawl.
Also... the ad is f*cking awesome lol
I absolutely love Dungeon Synth for background music in my creative endeavors! Awesome to hear your stuff and keep the cool projects coming!
Do you have any tracks that would pair well with the gold mine and mine cart build from miscast terrain?
I feel like your Channel has evolved and changed multiple times over the years. Each metamorphosis feels more and more authentically you. Thank you, for being authentic, different, and ultimately genuine. I will always be a subscriber because of it.😊
🙏appreciate that!
Hey congrats man! Good to see you reconnecting with your music
I'm super glad to hear you're getting back into rpg's! 2nd ed AD&D started me on my path to nerdom back in the early 90's and rpg's will always be my first love in the hobby even though I probably play more mini games now than anything else. As always, great video man!
I left 5e so long ago, and I couldn’t be more happy plumbing the depths of what’s out there. Dungeon Crawl Classics has been scratching the itch that I’ve wanted for RPGs. Glad that you’re getting the opportunity to branch out!
Hey bud, glad you're branching out creatively! I really loved the block printing video, would love to see more of that down the line! Congrats on the album drop, it sounds awesome. Looking forward to what's next!
I saw ShadowDark sitting on your table and knew where this video was going. Great system created by an amazing person. So fun! Gonna go check out your tunes right now. Thanks for the video!
Cool, always on the lookout for good music during games or painting sessions.
Music is so important. Glad you are flexing that muscle-it’s good for the soul. Love the Svenghoulie vibes of the square space commercial. Also block prints are marvelous!1
Awesome, man! As you brainstorm the new setting and stuff, I'd love to see you work on that, whether terrain, paintings, journaling etc. Like B does at Runehammer with the DM journal type videos.
Just saying whatever you put out I'm here for. Very happy for your success and excitement for the future. Can't wait to hear more!
Dude, we all love you. Most of us got our start watching and doing your stuff. My first project was your little house with the red roof. I still have it and it looks just like yours, along with about five shelves worth of stuff I have made since. Whatever you do, we still have your stuff. We just hope you are happy in life.
I would love it if you could create an Idols of Torment RPG setting, that would be freaking awesome! :)
Things made for everybody quickly become things made for nobody.
Bro Philosopher
Not sure what this is in reference to.
My guess would be: a reference to dnd e5.
Since they are in the process to ruin it for all longtime creators and players. They want to earn money.... and that can kill this old masterpiece
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficialit's a criticism of modern companies trying to appeal to the "modern audience" or trying to make their product mainstream or appeal to a new demographic. In the process they lose the niche appeal and uniqueness of the product that brought in the original fans and they tend to sacrifice the quality of the product to do it.
In short something made specifically to be great for a few people is better than something made to be ok or tollerable for everyone.
Dude, you are one of the main reasons I got back into ttrpgs, painting, composing, and drawing. I’ve made great friends, found freelance work, and I owe a big part of that to you and your channel. Thanks for everything you do.
These look Metal Jeremy! I will have to keep these in mind for my birthday! Thanks for making the announcement!
the music is super rad but even more is you being real about how during our lives (especially as those who are multimedia artists. i paint sculpt play music in addition to game and make terrain) there are "seasons" where you just simply can't do all of them either for time or inspiration reasons and that's cool . Those seasons change and being to stick on "What you are and do" can limit where you can go! you always inspire and stoke me out dude 🤘🏼
Och my god that ad read was so epic :'D I so so sooo dig the style and visuals :O
I glad you took a break from the tower to reclaim a gaming space.
You expressed a bit of creativity burnout and finished a good paint job on the tower.
Hope you have fun hosting a game night soon.
Shadowdark is wonderful. It plays at the table better than I thought it would from reading it. I highly recommend it for anyone who is fan of this channel.
Welcome back to some TTRPGS. I've been deep in Shadowdark and Morg Bork design work. So I feel that for sure!
I do have a question @BlackMagicCraft. Are the albumns DMCA free so they could be used on my new Shadowdark live show?
I love how your videos transform into art a little more with every now video!
Shadowdark. My players never looked back.
I love your work Jeremy, and I’ll be sure to keep watching, whatever direction you take the channel in. I’d love to see more crafting tutorials because you’re the OG, but it’d be neat to see how some of these other games play. Not sure if you’ve played the Alien RPG but that aesthetic seems right up your alley and crafting for it would be a blast.
I just so happened to discover Dungeon Synth yesterday looking for ambience music to read the module I'm currently DMing to! I only listened the one random album video, but it seems to be my vibe! I'll have a listen soon!
I loved your Dungeon Synth album. I didn’t know you’d done an Idols of Torment one too. I’ll be checking that out and adding it to my playlist for game nights.
I also love that you put it out on cassettes, only thing that put me off was that we already have too much physical media and it was cluttering up our house.
Thanks for the video! Great job on the tower and would love to see some conversion pieces to make it repeatedly useful: different pieces that fit in modularly, ruined bits, etc.
I am loving the fact that you are building your own RPG setting!!
I think we need Lord Square Spacious to be the new host for this channel. All crafting to be done by him from now on!
Even if i'm not a regular viewer, it's nice seeing you being passionate about doing something new.
I was wondering if I could get a print of that art, now I know! I dont have a Cassette Player anymore, but if it comes with a digital download I will have to pick it up.
My sister had me build a one shot of Mork Borg for her bachelorette party, it was a blast. Everyone died, the spellcaster even accidentally blinked forward in time after the world had ended. Hope you have fun with it.
Sounds good and great to see you return to your preveus pastions!
This has been & continues to be a great ride, following you on your endeavors! I've recently gotten back to my guitar & music production, also. I'm reviving & kicking off an old animation project to go with it. There's nothing like getting back on a track that belongs in our lives. These days, i spend more time on a Worldbuilding Workshop I host monthly, then on running games, but at least I feel more in line with my intended purpose & core goals. Good luck with everything, Jeremy, as always. Some of us will stick with you, no matter what you decide to do, simply cause you're that cool of a dude!
My biggest issue with current d&d is that there’s this no limitations (which may sound strange) I feel like those earlier editions of d&d/ 80s adventure style games forced you to get more creative simply because there were limited number of races/classes to play. So when a character really stood out it really meant something, now it feels like it’s the standard to make the most quirky/zany character every time rather than having fun with the simple archetypes that started it all. Obviously this is purely opinion, but I feel like the original core of d&d is a bit lost compared to the old sword and sorcery genre that it came from. Idk I’m just rambling at this point but I too have lost touch with d&d and am looking for new systems. Mörk Börg is great and I’ve been wanting to try out Dungeon Crawl Classics for a while now
The group I play with has started playing new games on a different day. We still play D&D, but we are testing other systems.
So excited for your OSR era! I've been checking out Shadowdark and a few other OSR rulesets over the last year. I've really loved all the experiments you've been trying on the channel recently.
Love to see Shadowdark on there. Not only have you helped me in creating tabletop terrain, but my wife also loves your channel, and she's not even a gamer, she just loves the way you present your knowledge and skills. Canada is just full of creative gamers. Thank you for everything you do!
(read this in the voice of an old timey announcer with a handlebar moustache and monacle) I'm holding out for the obviously-on-the-way phonograph cylinder!
Moar tower torment? Moar tower torment!!! Dig your music and glad to hear you are creating more of it. An album of your soundtracks from the CZcams videos? I bought the tower tracks digitally, but was tempted for the cassette. I have a Mike Doughty cassette release that included a pencil. #IYKYK. FreeRPG day did a clever thing with a short pencil that was also printed with numbers on all six sides for a fun d6.
I just want to say...thank you for introducing me to Dungeon Synth! As a Black metal/Metal/Sythwave lover there is something about the genre that just makes me happy. A lot of it sounds like if you took the white noise guitars, drums, and vocals out of early 90s black metal like Dimmu Borgir's "For all Tid" album and just left the beautiful synth work...at least to me anyway.
Anyway, much love from England. Been watching for many years and it is been a great journey seeing you go from great tabletop crafting to game creation and music producer.
Cool.So another musician. Got right back into my guitar recently. I will check your music out. As for cassettes used to have a 4 track.
I've been rigging Shadowdark.
I will watch every embedded ad if they are done like this. This was great.
So glad to hear you’re exploring indie rpg land. It’s a creative explosion!
I didn't know you're a musician, I can't wait to check out your music!! Also I feel you on the 5e book. My long-term campaign group started diving into new systems because we're trying to find something that we can engage with more. 5e is great as an introduction to TTRPGs, but it's very limiting in my experience. I hope you're able to find a system (or systems!) that speaks to you!
Hell yes, that is so cool you are making dungeon synth. It's sooooo good for Mork Borg!
Cassettes are cool. Always have been. Here in the UK, lots of bands, even big ones, have started releasing new material on tape.
Last year, I found a case of blank 90 minute tapes in a charity shop. I could only take six ten packs out of it; I couldn't fit any more in my bag. I paid £6, went home, and came back to get some more - and in 45 minutes, the rest of the case had been sold. So someone is using tape again, and I was secretly pleased that they were. I work in a scrapyard, and got a beautiful Technics tapedeck a few weeks back. Nothing wrong with it, other than the fuse in the plug had blown. I showed my manager and asked him how much. He gave his usual reply:
"How much change have you got in your pockets right now?"
I had £4.75.
"Sold!" he said.
Always nice to get your creative juices going !! Might I suggest something non-fantasy , like Call of Cthulhu :) As for myself , I would like to try a Forgotten Realms setting , actually picked it up over on DMsguild , called Doomed Forgotten Realms . Basically in a nutshell , from the past released adventure books , the villains won , so the Forgotten Realms as we once knew is changed and behind it all is none other than Vecna .
Regardless of what you choose , I am sure it will be fun :)
As other people have said don’t care what you are creating as long as you are a) Enjoying yourself b) creating anything your heart desires. Looking fwd to many more posts.
Went straight to those albums here and favorited them for later. Both of them sound AWESOME so far!
that tower looks so damn cool just looming in the background
I wouldn't mind more block printing videos. They look awesome and I want to try that myself someday.
I'm really glad to see you get back to actually playing RPGs for fun! Light, flavorful games like Mork Borg, The Black Hack, etc will help you spend less time balancing stats and more time dreaming up cool, heavy metal stuff to explore with your friends
Hey cool about Tenebris. I love that word. I’m getting into creating medieval terrain, taking a small break from making videos and terrain for Sci-fi gaming. I have been listening to your soundtrack while designing that Mordheim style terrain.
That ad made me laugh out loud.
Hi Jeremy! I'm glad you are able to find time to enjoy rpgs again (they rock). I also agree (as a DM for my friend group) that 5e suuuucks with its book layout (spellcasters are a pain to set up). I think something you might find cool is a game compatible with MORK BORG called forbidden psalm: Last War. its a grim WWI themed setting that has lots of potential to be adapted to tell some great dark stories.
For me the best of a player's book had to be FASA's Star Trek. For character creation it was just awesome, they went through the steps in order and clearly showed where every number went on the character sheet. Nostalgia you wicked Mistress! Look forward to your next video! :)
Shadowdark would be the best 'blank slate' that you could EASILY bring over C&S and MB material into.
I ran the one shot at the back of Mörk Borg for my play group. It was really fun! Even tho it’s a dark setting, everyone leaned into who goofy it can be.
Excited to see what new terrain you create. I stopped with D&D a year ago and am running other systems now (Have you looked into Symbaroum?). I was kind of hoping you would move into more sci-fi stuff since I plan to swap to Stars Without Number next year after we wrap up our Symbaroum game.
Copped the tape and digital. Appreciate you, dude.
Thanks bud! 🙏
Excited for you to dive into Shadowdark and join us torch bearers.
Go ShadowDark! That’s what I’ve been playing recently. In my head I imagine the mood is the same as video game Darkest Dungeon. So dark and creative!
dat ad tho
will any of our RPG adventuring make it onto your channel? Would love to see what you think of and how you interact with those rules you showed
Dude I'm RIGHT THERE with you. I went with Shadowdark for my group and started putting together a hex crawler style campaign I'm calling Shards of Evil. Your Idols of Torment soundtrack is literally PERFECT ambient music for that game.
While I'm not into the Dungeonsynth as it reminds me a little too much of Midnight Syndicate which I'm not the biggest fan of, I would LOVE to know what bands were the inspiration behind Idols of Torment, that album is so perfect for Shadowdark it feels intentional.
If anyone has more like Idols let me know, I'm on the hunt!
Go listen to everything/anything put out by Cryo Chamber!
It would be epic to see you make a Stargate style diorama that fit, and scale of the tower that you just made
Great to hear about your other endeavours, didn't realize about your musical projects.
👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
What RPG was that between Crown &Skull and Mork Borg, by the way?
🤔🤔🤔🤔
Shadowdark
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Ah, thank you.
👍👍👍👍😎😎😎😎
I can't wait to hear about your setting! I'm sure it's gonna be epic. 👌
Are you going to do a full tour of your new space?
I did a room tour vid very recently and other than the stuff mentioned in this video, the rest is the same for now.
@@BlackMagicCraftOfficial Oh, man! I must have missed that one. Damn you algorithm!
Have you considered making Strahds Castle on the poster that comes with “Curse of Strahd”? I’ve always thought it was basically a blueprint and could be done but just a massive undertaking
You got any recommendations for getting into making dungeon synth? My wife and I are classical guitarists normally so we're used to sheet music and the like, but anything digital is kinda strange. Only recently have gotten into recording some of our stuff.
Thanks and you're making cool stuff keep it up :)
Glad that you are getting back into the hobby. My wife and I have been without a group for several years now as people have moved away. There's nothing like a good face to face role-playing group. And yes, you will want to play something with actual rules, unlike 5e.
I ran a 5E D&D game for almost 2 full years and D&D has been with me since the early 80's but lately have grown to love the Vampire the Masquerade game I have been part of for about 16 months. I have also found that D&D while still near and dear to my heart no longer captures my attention and have even recently put all my 5E books up for sale. My dream TTRPG is taking Kingdom Death: Monster and reworking it into a RPG with all the dark gritty and horror that KD:M brings
Stumbled onto dungeon synth a few months back and now I have a whole playlist of various albums and individual songs. Love the genre. Brings back Sega Genisis and old 1980s sword & sorcery movie memories. The OST to Idols of Torment is great and Guardians of the 7th Tower is part of my dungeon synth playlist. Both are bangers.
Dude the tower series was great. I wish I had the time and space to even attempt something that size.
Did you get dj shadows new album as a cassette tape? I was at his show recently and couldn't resist myself, super nostalgia lol
Glad to see you excited about gaming, rather than having it be a drag. You've got a great suite of games picked out!
Ok I just have to say this… my brothers and I use to have first edition DM Guide, Monster Manual, Players Handbook, Fiend Folio, Deities and Demigods…. Those are the only ones I remember that you have the same covers of (except the MM - I don’t see that one), plus tons of other stuff! I don’t feel quite so old when I see you have those books also.
Sweet I’ll definitely check the music always want new gaming soundtracks!
It is so natural to go from D&D to another game &or other settings and the games that come with. The fact you are making more music and hearing your muse again is all that matters. Have fun and be well.
Magnificent! Always lusting for retro dnd tracks. I'm on an OSR kick and love the vibe. Are these tracks stream friendly?
