Now THIS is how you do a second edition! (Rogue Dungeon 2nd edition - overview and comparison)
I didn't notice the issue with the cards in my copy of Tin Realm. maybe because I was in one of the later shipping waves.
Yeah. Probably.
How about Steve Jackson games like Melee and Wizard with Micro quests like Deathtest? I played the micro quests a ton solo when I was young. Great times and memories. :)
Yeah! There are all kinds of games like this.
Still playing this? Have you broken out the expansion?
Not playing, still like it, still in my collection. I have something like 300+ games, and have to be constantly playing different things for the channel, so me not playing one all the time really doesn't say anything about the quality of the game. I've played the expansion before. I bought both together in one purchase.
I recently picked up both of the Corny Gron books from EF and was happy to see you covering them! In my opinion the Adventure's Guide is both a campaign setting and an interactive tome of southern Polish folklore and mythology. Although many of the original names have been altered to make the setting more fantastical, everything in the book has roots in both the folklore and history of the Carpathian mountains, and the political factions described in the book seem to correspond to regional empires and entities circa 18th century. Pretty cool and immersive if you are into historical-themed fantasy.
I totally agree! It's like learning a little while you play. Love that.
Current 93!
new home for cardboard standees recycle bin, that what I'd do at least
I still like the black border on them.
Glorious! Really looking forward to getting mine!
I'm so happy that you mention again the game Darkest Night. My favourite~ Then you mentioned the game Clank. Somehow I dislike it, but can't tell why. May I know why you said it's not a good deck building game? Curious...
Not enough options to cull cards and not enough options to feel like you’re building a character.
@@TheDungeonDive I see. Would like to see your recommendations video on that if possible, because your videos are great source for gaming discovery and your advices are very useful so far~ 👍
I havent seen someone do a video on the standee version only. I'd love to see if it's worth it to buy just the standee version
I haven't seen that either.
Frustrating to hear that the dry erase player boards are not available yet as they look great! I know you mentioned you use alternative stands for the cardboard standees - do you know offhand which brand you used? I was thinking about getting some but want to make sure they will accommodate LoD standees.
No brand. I just got some on Etsy.
Thanks for another great review TDD. I enjoyed your review of solo RPGs, Caves & Catacombs & Ker Nethalas to be specific. I plan on getting these and incorporating the old game Outdoor Survival by Avalon Hill (Ebay) for my solo games as well for Hex crawling.
Nice!
Thank you. I love playing LoD and the upgrades and expansion look to be adding more amazing content from Michael.
Yeah! There is a lot to like.
Settlement cards are new, to not have to open the book to see what is in your settlement
Very handy!
I'm for a Howard the Duck board game as well!
You're really good at adapting some of these games into a solo RPG toolkit, and I'm beginning to wonder if a designer/developer collab is in your future (like the "Automa brought to you by" phenomenon with Stonemaier games). I think your insight would add value to so many of these recent crawl/adventure systems in a crowdfunding campaign, specifically ones where the main product isn't *technically* designed for pure solo play. Also, I'd totally grab those acrylic standees in a heartbeat if they were up for sale, either on their store or in another campaign. I'd part with the cost of an expansion for them, honestly, though a little "expansion-lite" content with the acrylic kit would definitely sweeten the deal.
I would love that opportunity.
Michaels sells those photo storage container, btw
Nice! Thanks.
Interesting discussion. I wasn’t a huge fan of this one at the end of the day and ended up selling it. I’m MUCH more excited for dungeons of infinity, and waste knights sandbox mode.
I hope they offer what you’re looking for!
Daniel, I love your videos. You’ve turned me onto Shadows of Brimstone and hopefully I can get a copy of this game at some point. You have a sweet collection of sweaters, but do you have a furnace? 😂
Can't wait for my copy to arrive. Lots of good stuff there! I just hope I can get it to the table. These big games can be a challenge to get the table.
Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks, Daniel! I'm intrigued to know more of your solo rpgish approach to this game. I know that you are still looking into the best way of not managing that many characters, without losing the fun of it.
Hopefully I can come up with something. :)
@@TheDungeonDive that would be EPIC
This is the League of Dungeoneering All the monsters keep appearing! Oh, to be a dungeoneer Swimming in pools of gold!
Like the playing aids. Will definitely get these.
That rulebook... aaargh... can't wait to receive my copy....
It's really nice!
Wasn't there supposed to be prestige classes with the expansion? Did I miss those?
Yep - I go over that when I show the classes in the book. There are now class specializations.
Ah, okay. I thought they were actually called prestige classes so I was confused when I didn't hear them mentioned. Still very exciting stuff all in all. :)
@@MaVarcon Maybe the name changed.
Always appreciate the level of DEPTH & DETAIL to which you review & compare the products that you cover… Just like a line from the Theme Song of the classic James Bond Movie, The Spy Who Loved Me… “NOBODY DOES IT BETTER.” 🥇😂👍
Hahah. :). Right on.
Holy crap! How have I just discovered this video?? How far the DD has come, Daniel!!
Hahah. Yeah, for sure. This is an old one!
@@TheDungeonDive Lost Valley! Might that get the DD treatment some day? I’ve had that game for years and need to get it off the shelf!
I need to, for sure.
I would to try some of the adventure or dungeon crawl games. I go to the game store on the board game night and people play thr other types of games. And then people in general are playing the magic card games and some people ply the warhammer.
I notice that, whenever I go to a game store, no one is ever playing these kinds of games.
Secrets of the lost Tomb - a) I sold it as I just never managed to play it b) the creator Chris once told me he preferred the updated secrets of the lost station. Have you played this one as well? If so, what do you think of both?
I’ve only played the one I have, and didn’t back the newest one.
11:50 - same here ; AH 2e will always be a favorite
very good video, Thanks so much.
You are welcome!
Love these videos
Thanks!
I thought for sure we would get new travel cards for the upgrade kit, as that the 1st edition artwork on the back of them was upside down.
One came through at work that I didn't know about, I could have had it for twenty doll hairs but a customer found it first.
Druss the Legend John Dies at the End The Silent Blade Snow Crash
Some good books there!
If you're buying something like this, you already know the names of all these creatures.
I don't, and I've been playing hobby games since the mid 80s.
I play a lot of Guild of Dungeoneering on Switch.
Nice! Completely different kind of game, but a good one.
Looks amazing, thanks for the information.
Regret not picking up the upgrade pack. I got first printing and as soon as I got it it was announced that an update would be coming along with the 2nd printing so I delayed getting into it. Then for some reason I skipped backing the upgrade, silly me.
yes, I so want the acrylic standees. I hate that I missed the option to purchase them. Hope we see another KS with the option to buy them.
The acrylic standees were the one thing that bothered me about the campaign. The only way to get them was in that all in deluxe tier. There was no way for a former backer to obtain them without having to get the whole game again and that didn't sit with me well at all
Thanks Daniel , Still waiting the package send to my home and very love Acylic Standee
Woooohooo! My man! Been waiting for this one! A proper review (much better than a review I saw the other day.
Nice! Exciting to see. I am one that prefers the cardboard standees, as the black outline/background ensures that all the fine edge shapes and detail stand (no pun intended) out. But the long term durability of acrylic is definitely very appealing. Hmm…
Yeah. I like the black outline of the cardboard as well.
Thanks, Daniel. The game looks great and I can't wait for its arrival.
Hope you enjoy it!
Great to see you talking about this game, need more of these :)
Have you seen my 40 episode series on it? LOL! I talk about SOB more than any other channel!
@@TheDungeonDive Yeah, I forgot to add "again" in "great to see you again talking about SOB" I have probably watchedand listened several of them even two or three times indeed, while working etc LOL
Those acrylic standees look great. Can’t wait for my copy to get here, getting more excited the more previews I see. Thanks for the unboxing!
Somehow, I completely missed that there was an acrylic standees option. /facepalm
I recognize many of those legendary items on the book from the song "Legend Of The High King" if the league of dungeoneers OST of the stretch goal that is now available on Spotify and UA-cam. It's an amazing song!
Is the tracker in the update pack?
No. It’s coming later.
Nice review! The game looks really nice!
