Best KDM channel bar none

The 'Scrap Rebar' could easily be put on the right hand side of the gear grid and any weapon on the left side of the gear grid which then leaves the middle part of the gear grid open.

I´ve watched/listened a ton of your videos (multiple times) and would gladly listen a 12hour video regarding KDM content, I own base game + gen 1 expansions + gambles chest, but I have only open base + gorm and im blown away by all the content. If you could do a video talking (in dept of course) about the mechanics of the game like phases, combat, crafting, aging, etc highlighting common mistakes and FAQs I would be really grateful, your KDM content is hands down the best one out there due to your knowledge and passion for it. Great work Fen!

Fantastic review Fen!! Just finished listening to this on a long drive and I’m ready to get a game going again! Loving all of the content on the channel & over on your Patreon. Those posts are, as you say, chef’s kiss.

Fen, thanks for all you do. Part of my KDM ritual to get back in the spirit of the game is to listen to your content while I get things organized.

Thank you for all your great videos. It's such a boon to the kdm community to have you.

We get it you're gay.

Algorithm boosting <3

I'm really enjoying this side of the series I think you should click on each AI or HL card and have them in full screened for about 2 seconds so you can pause and read them over at your own pace you full screened some cards but not others. I understand that would add about 2 minutes or so to the video. If I had to describe the white lion's combat niche it would be board control to be more precise "devision and knockdown capitalisation." keeping people ether divided at the other end of the board or following up with malling a target or pounce attacks and ground fighting damn ground fighting allowing them to declare a board space their own it also compounds the lore of the lions territorial nature. I think neatly summarising each monsters speciality ware applicable would be a good thing to add to the series. I am enjoying this and thank you for your time.

Thanks so much Fen for all the hard work you do! And thanks for all the extra reviews on your Patreon, too. Just a heads up, it seems the audio is only in the left channel in this video. I seem to recall you having that happen in another one, too. Hopefully your gear and your health are doing well today!

I agree with you on playing blind once, then after that anyways... but also , everyone should play the way they find it most fun. I feel Kingdom death gives a lot of options to self regulate the difficulty and different type of experience you want to have from your campaign... having said this, this is the prologue to the series, not related to the white lion. Overall the white lion is pretty simple but a great introduction to this game. Probably too much of an introduction for players with more boardgame experience. I know you mention that having long hunts is overall not good... but I tend to disagree a bit on this, I understand the hunt phase overall is meant to weaken the party for the showdown, however in my opinion most of the hunt events tend to be minor inconveniences, there are about 3 or 4 that are hard punishment , lets say 20-30 which are good but just ok... on the other hand ... there are another 5-10 that are just game breakingly good (including the only way to unlock the perfect slayer) and the only way to try and get these more consistently is by brute force trying to get more and more events. In the case of the white lion, being able to see 5 event cards 1 being the white lion cub is just AMAZING. This and free lion piss... The overall strategy I tend to use for the white lion is simple... attack from blind spot even if there is someone in the front. I know... there is grab, but there are also many perform basic action target the atacker which basically turns him around for the people who previously were in the front. Grab sucks... but the first lions dont damage that much neither have that much movement.

Looking forward to these. Only started our second run of the base game and a lot to learn! Thank You!

Nice, I look forward to know more about this world

Thanks Fen! Most excited for this series :)

What’s your favorite node 1, Fen?

WELL ITS ABOUT DAMN TIME! Very excited for this, since Great Game Hunter died ingloriously

Your use of KD:M Simulator has endeared me to the wood table so much I’m drafting woodworking plans to make my own Table of Death.

Great job as always, i really find these very informative and entertaining. Can this be truly considered a support/damage role? I know this is not the same as a brawler but I think they are in a very similar role in my opinion. I mean ... I understand this is sort of supporting with the masteries, but I dont know... many masteries become basically support abilities, for example axe mastery that becomes crits permanent injury locations, it wouldnt feel right to call the axe a support weapon. likewise would you say fist and tooth is support as well since as soon you get a master all survivors benefit from it? likewise a shield master makes the shields so good everyone should use a shield no matter the role. The lamest nitpick ... I dont like this role to be called "lancer" trap specialist sounds cool imo, it feels more like something outside of the 3 main roles , something like in american football where the kicker duties are special and very different to anyone else.

Why play this over TTS? It’s basically the same thing. If it had automation, book keeping, hover over numbers & tile light up per move etc, then maybe.

Why not just use a founding stone to get rid of ground fighting until you build a spear or bow?

Something I’ve always wondered about, how does the interaction between the cat eye circlet and the wisdom potion? The potion says play with the top card revealed, the circlet says reveal the top 3 and re-order them. Do you technically reveal a 4th card as you lift 3 cards off the top of the deck to manipulate them?

Lancer Me: oh so like a spear guy Fen: I think of the trap like "lancing" off a boil Me: .... what

Hope the treatments are going well Fen!

This video was phenomenal, you put so much work into it. Immediately helped my game out too!

Bone Dagger looks unassuming but can be really strong in combo with Red Charm (and Timeless Eye). A big plus is that it lacks Frail.

Absolutely loving this series, and all of your content! By far the BEST content creator for KDM, you're the reason we're able to really dissect how the game works and how best to flavor our experience through what's viable enough to work.

I'm excited for the monster videos! Love your analysis on the locations/playstyles I would love to see what you have to say about each monster! Thank you for being the best and most informative KDM account on YT! Me and my brother deeply appreciate you! <=:D

I feel there is not a lot to talk about archers. Very straight forward "class".

Thanks Fen!

Hi - you refer to meta roles and archers not being one of them. As a new player, I am trying to figure out the best composition. Curious to hear your thoughts, thanks.

Killer work as always Fen! I love these strategy deep dives.

Our group thought we were being clever by sacrificing Nigredo to Gorm Climate, but it turns out you only automatically unlock it the FIRST time you defeat the gorm.

Small correction: the Rawhide set bonus getting back your survival actually gives you 2x survival, not just 1.5x. This is because the refunded survival and also refund and so on. Therefore the sum can be calculated using the infinite sum of 1+1/2+1/4... = 2.

I feel like I'm often in the minority when I say that sword specialization is incredible. I really wish the mastery had a higher strength bonus, because 1 strength just doesn't do it for a settlement that's far enough in to have a weapon master. The accuracy and speed are fine.

Any chance you could do a series about what weapons go best with gear sets. Im trying to get ideas on how to build my armor kits

Thanks for these videos..all the videos. Really like what you are doing here and very interesting to listen to. I have only played 1.3 campaigns really. But bought all wave 1 expansions (still boxed) so have to be careful of spoilers. Just curious as to whether you are THE Fen who created a 5-6 player variant and also if your THE Fen that knows people from Swansea? Always wondered this....

So maybe the fact that we always attack with every survivor is the reason we never made it past ly11 since release xD

Been eagerly hoping that you’d cover this when they announced EOD1 on the sim. Thanks fen!

Thanks

Great video as always. I Kdm I usually don't consider support an impactful enough role, more like something every one has to do... Do you think they should buff the support role? If so.. how would they do it?

Thanks Fen! Solo player here, think I'm going to try switching my full support character to a lancer/support :)

Fen, killer work as always. These videos are incredible!

I would love to see some build configurations for every Role. The video was interesting but been able to visualize complete builds give you practical examples to use as inspiration.

hmm, 350 USD for a digital copy or 24 dollars for tabletop simulator? hard choice

I was rewatching and thought about something when you talked about scythes. Almost every scyth has an alternate activation ability, the nuclear scyth has edge ignites, for example. Or Titus has the luck consumption. The scythe mastery let's you activation the scythe twice each turn, letting you freely tap its ability and then use it.
