having now actually played it: okay its good. it does exactly what it aims to do, and it does it quite well. i maintain that the character sheet is almost certainly overwhelming to new players, but im not a new player, so idunno. either way i think it would benefit from moving some of the explanation out of the character sheet, and into an explaining text. i think the main flaw is that it relies on an experienced gm, but i actually think it should be open to be used by a group of beginners, including an inexperienced gm. it would be unfortunate not to take that chance. i do love that it doesnt rely on pages upon pages of character options, and instead lets players come up with those things themselves. considering these players are beginners, id recomend including more in depth explanations on how to do it, and what to look out for. overall, i absolutely agree that you are on to something

Well you know I backed all in Mr. T. It’s looking good. ❤

I'm starting my first adventures in Midgard. This is very useful.

*MEANING...* Great video c:

Have you seen the total party kill bestiary volumes 1 & 2 ?

The Monster Harvesting seems very similar to Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting.

Im backin' this! Mainly cause I want Kobold Press to succeed where WotC is failing... I mean, how difficult was it for WotC to provide this stuff for 5E previously? Apparently pretty freakin' hard! Since they never did during this edition... ...in fact, correct me if im wrong, but the last time they provided the mechanical tools to make things yourself was...when they first got D&D with 3e! If only we could crack the code of whats the difference between modern WotC and literally every other company making their own thing? MCG, Paizo, Green Ronin, Kobold Press... what could it be??? . .. ... Its game designers... Every single former designer from WotC's 3.x days either founded one of those other companies, or joined it, rather then stay at WotC... ...that's why we're getting 5E as designed by a Manager (Crawford) who can barely do Maths! Anyway... Sorry for ranting, Mr T! You're videos are great as always!

Just backed! We're live as well - Rising tides!

Yeah, I was thinking this was dangerous to try. Do we want to put out another Monster book BEFORE the 2025 Monster Manual is out? That's Crazy! But they did it and it funded. I am honestly worried about all the Kickstarter/BackerKit companies with all this Tariff Talk. So I am supporting as well as I can. And yes - The Harvesting is needed because we need to counter that WAY TOO EASY magic item construction rule that's in the 2024 DMG.

The Adamantine Dragon’s Unstoppable Breath is similar to the effects of the dragons in MV1. I guess the Dragon is magically collecting or transforming Adamantine for its Needle Breath. Once ready, and until it uses it, it can harness that Adamantine for the ability to ignore opponents armor.

Roll Gamers and Play Masters! 🤣. I LOVE it! Monster Vault 2 is going to be great and I can’t wait to have it in my hands. I am super excited for the Field Guide!

TOTV just seems better and better every day. and with the pocket editions now so much cheaper to get into.

I love how TOTV has fixed so many of the issues I had with 5e.

Been some time since I've seen 2 Stat Systems. I personally are more into 3 Stat Systems. I give you it is simple. I like it, it does what it needs to do. Whats the Game Mode you aim for? What kind of adventures do you see your system aiming for? For example, Dungeon Crawls could use something like Traps or a dungeon creator. Or a political game is going to need more granularity for social encounters (Thats Why I prefer 3 Stat ^^). Try to find a place for your system, a USP to use Business Speak. Just being accessible will not be enough. It helps, but I have a dozen One Pager who do exactly what I want in any situation and those are dirt cheap, mostly free. Will you be going for predefined spells, like in DnD? Or more Freeform stuff? Would recommend to just go for Freeform Stuff. I will look into backing you system later this day, it could work quite well for quick gameplay, but alas so does ICRPG :D

Got a Page Not Found error.

There are some very interesting ideas here.

I like the idea of a strength vs flaw system that balances specific strengths with specific flaws, or more general strengths with general flaws. It would be interesting to see some random tables for suggestions.

Color me intrigued. How much will be Cypher system like? How about adding a "Wild Die", D6 or some type to simulate feats or special abilities in general. Perhaps to increase damage or reduce or soak damage?

Why no comments?

We need more content on DC20 maybe adaption of some of your adventures to DC20 system.

You sold me. I also love the cover, it reminds me of Dark Souls.

Looooove Magnus. Thank you for helping me understand the game mechanics a bit better.

Would love to see you run this and delve into how you go about playing it! I ended up getting The Old Gods of Appalachia because of your videos ^^ It was a blast

I backed this kickstarter, and have enjoyed reading it. Since my wife's group loved 5E, but not all the rules for it (just the excitement), I plan on running this for them as soon as the playtesting is over (it updates, like, every week, and I know they'll get annoyed if I keep telling them things have changed lol).

Kobold Press has another basket of free stuff on their website. Good free stuff too.

You should check out the film ‘Song of the Sea’! Gorgeous hand animation, and good connection to the folklore.

Have to hand it to Kobold press; just a train that keeps on chugging, producing excellent content.

Theatre of the mind isn't the same as not using props. This example fails for me.

I think a dragon wouldn't land and then spray its breath weapon I think it would fly over and spray the breath weapon and keep on flying and Never land.

You and I are in complete agreement and it’s a consistent problem with their starter sets. The cheap card box drives me crazy. They need to take a lesson from Free League Publishing, which in my opinion has the best starter boxes. I’d pay $2 more for a decent box.

Thanks for the followup review! Some points. 1. Yeah, the box is flimsy. It's not meant for storage-the box set itself isn't even really intended for gamers like us who keep huge bookshelves full of games, it's meant as something you'd give as a gift for a gamer-adjacent friend or relative to try out (or for your group to try out), and if they like it, they move on to the full system. Also, putting it in a sturdier box would cost more, which would bump the cost over its current $29.95 amount, and when it comes to buying stuff there's a big mental jump between "this is less than $30" and "this is more than $30." 2. A PDF of this would be really nice. 3. The adventures definitely are short, they're meant as one-shots. But that's also why the book (page 18) has a link to a free third adventure, which is a followup to Xambit Station. :) (Also, making the GM Book more than 32 page would increase the cost, see point 1.) I really need to do a video about this, its components, and the decisions we made about every piece in it. :)

They really showed how a Bestiary in a narrative system should be written. It has so much more info than just "what their numbers" are. Love it.

Cypher system is really nailing it with the quality of their source books.

If you like this kind of monster supplement, you'd really like the Monster Overhaul, if you haven't heard of it that is.

Really well designed book; the fold out pages are genius; more rpg companies should add them into their book.

This is a very cool bestiary and the fold out pages are a nice touch.

Thank you for directing me to this. I just got the TOV PHB, so this is perfect timing for me...
