wow man thanks a ton for the mention!! Sorry I'm so late seeing this. I've been just thinking about getting back into Earthdawn and finishing off that 3rd installment in the "Hope" pamphlet adventure series. Great video! subscribed!

Nice tool man !!!

Ironsworn/starforged has 5 levels of success/failure don't forget success with a match and failure with a match. Also combat/actions all scales even on the fly by just changing the challenge rating which immediately changes your progression difficulty up or down. That can fix problems immediately when running games for others and find out that challenge is too strong or to weak.

Thank you for doing this interview, tbh, I think I took the plunge and bought it a few weeks back cause you made this ahaha. Now that I have it in my hand, it’s great to watch it again and get an even better understanding of this system! I can’t wait for the luminous campaign video and perhaps a way to use radiance and luminous together too.

It seems fine but expensive at $8

This was really cool to watch and totally sold me on the system, I ordered both the Radiance Adventure Engine and The Shine Storytelling Engine tonight! Super excited to explore both and yes! You have my vote for a second follow-up video (please)! Thanks Donald and Christina!

I just picked up Scarlet Heroes this week - I had heard people talking a lot about it, for a long time... but I wasn't much of a fantasy gamer, and I had an idea that it was something different than it actually is. Now that I've looked it over, I don't think I'll be playing any other fantasy RPGs for a good long time. The mechanics are unbelievable!

I play The Fantasy Trip with my girlfriend. We like the old metagame programmed adventures also for Melee & wizard for a more simple combat experience. We really like how combat plays in this game and couldn´t find something similar yet that allows us to play combat encounters with chits or standees and tactical options. We tried D100 Dungeon, 4AD, 2hour dungeon crawl, etc... we could never find the feel of TFT. We are not that into RPGs in their more abstract aspects, maybe we are more into the boardgame side of it. the thing is we also move around in a van and boxes full of plastic are not an option. Is there Any system that allows for tactical combat like TFT (grid, hex, wtv) that anyone could recomend? Sadly TFT is too deadly for a crawl and there are no hexcrawls with encoutners and stuff for it nowadays, instead the publishers seem to go for bizarre stuff like vampire hunting maids.

Seems interesting. I'll have to check it out.

This tool seems to be cool but also a lit bit overwhelming. I need to try it. Thanks for the video!

There loads of trannys in your town?? I’d go solo too dude.

This looks intense! Thanks for the look at this. Completely out of my wheelhouse, but really interesting.

I have this deck and the adventure crafter deck,can you do a tutorial on both combined? That will be dope! I'm a big fan of yours and I started watching your videos when you did the gm apprentice on. Please do a video using the mythic deck and adventure crafters deck. Thanxs

This looks like just the thing I was looking for to generate ideas, but I wasn't sure. I thought the price was a bit high for a deck of cards. This video however, was brilliant and thorough in sharing the physical experience of having and using these prompts. It looks like it will be genuinely useful, thank you so much for sharing this.

Is the game soloable??

I liked An vrpg game that had real estate and a kingdom building called Fable II and wanted a TTRPG that did the same with fast and interesting combat. What I found was super awesome called: Scarlet Heroes mixed with D100 Dungeon.

On the "I Don't Know" rule; I found it was smoother to follow one of two options. Option 1: Rephrase the question. Make the asked Fate Question more(or less!) specific, and redraw. Option 2: Spin it to win it! Pick one of the two card phrases that you like or think is cool. Flip the other card & draw 1 MORE card. Combine the chosen card with one of the other two cards for your answer.

Love your vids❤ im a beginner and play solo its very helpful to see your playthroughs

Thanks for a fun play-through. Cool to see the tactical view and all those nice exploding dice rolls. When the goblin got wounded you should have made a knock-down test. Being knocked down really sucks and would have shown that. But all in all just minor mistakes so great introduction

Thanks for the shout-out! We're coming up on the fourth anniversary of our show later this year, and are planning a special episode where we chat with Lou Prosperi, the line developer for first edition! You can find us wherever you get your podcasts, and we've been gradually uploading our back catalog (and new episodes) to our KZbin channel here, with some playlists devoted to particular topics.

I’m exactly where you’re at now. Unless something incredible (cough) “The Smurfs TTRPG” (cough) gets announced, I do not want to buy anymore RPGs.

They just released this for Roll20! Do you have any experience with Roll20? If so, or if you would could you make a video showcasing this on that platform & how to use it? Anyway thought I would give it a shot.

You got a sub just for your mom's update! Congrats, hope you are both still doing well

An excellent game I had the chance to play-test! Simple and flexible. I like the combat system: you always threat the opponent who has to deplete the defense. 🙂It's narrative and I love that you can develop your character the way you want. But the most interesting part is the setting Ainrêve is very original.

The official launch was moved up to the 16th.

Went over my head, seems like a great system though =)

this is cool might try it with talespire ( so whatever I create in my solo campaign I can use for my online campaign

I have all the boxes accept the companion which even the company says didn't work....don't use the cards as they make no sense..I played all 4 boxes solo..

Looking for marine decks

Fantasy trip is designed to play solo or with friends. The death test that comes with the legacy game works great either way.

I can sum it up in a single sentence: choose your own adventure.

Similar to you, I originally bounced hard off of Scarlet Heroes due to the OSR trappings, but recently after a new soloist was recommended the system and came back happy with how it worked I decided to give it another try. And so far I've been pretty happy with it as well. I have pulled out some of my other books for assistance in certain things that Scarlet Heroes doesn't quite cover for me, but that's more of a factor of me being an experienced soloist. For someone just getting into things this is a perfect place to start, especially if, as you say, something like Ironsworn doesn't work for them. (as a side note personally I found Ironsworn okay, but Starforged was a huge improvement that I enjoyed much more) One thing I appreciate too about the game that you didn't really cover is that Scarlet Heroes being an OSR-adjacent system makes it extremely easy to adapt content from those sorts of games for use with SH and there's a nice part in the book that covers exactly how to do this. I'm excited to dig out some of the old 2e modules we didn't managed to get to when we played in High School. Also, big agree that GM experience can help with being a soloist. Being able to critique what goes well or not so well and have that critical eye towards those things and apply it to your solo experiences is so very valuable.

What's that "oracle" deck?

Basic fantasy is perfect and natural to me for solo.

I feel your pain I am beginning the solo venture as well.

Also discovered this recently, definitely a ton of content for $0! May I make one suggestion, you really need a better microphone. It will make such a big difference!

Curious of your opinion of running this game solo vs Forbidden Lands.

Very helpful, ty

The 5th edition DMG has charts, the same as the first edition. Even not solo, the charts come in handy.

Great review Don will the printed version only be available on Drivethru or will it be released on other platforms you know how I feel about PDF's I know I am a caveman when it comes to my books hehehe

Eagerly awaiting for a print on demand version...

Looks terrific! Thanks for the rundown dude. Much appreciated. Gonna snag me all those Mythic Magazines as well.

Great stuff. I'm sold. Thank you for the review.

I was part of the KS for this game, and it took so long to turn out what came across to me as a lackluster attempt that didn't offer anything new or revolutionary - but that's my own opinion, others are welcome to feel differently. It's just been gathering dust on my shelf since finally receiving it after three years of stalling.

Just read through this game and wow, this looks fantastic! It appears this is really sliding under the radar, let's spread the word!

Great video Don!

Fantastic overview! Especially the differences in editions. Very excited to incorporate some of the new rules

New ep! You love to see it.

Thanks for a really well-organized, in-depth review. It's nice to see a substantial, meaningful review rather than someone who just quickly flips through the pages and says "it's cool". I had the original Mythic (and the various Variations) but never used it. I bought the new version when you brought it to our attention on the FB group and I intend to give it a thorough read. Maybe it will inspire me to try a new campaign in one of the many games I own.

9:38 you nearly made me shoot Red Bull out my nose. Well-played. 😄
