Absolutely stoked to see the masteries expanded upon and fleshed out, increasing both player choice and overall flavor of each one. I picked up this game shortly after Christmas, as well as both zines. What a treat and so much fun to read - I can’t wait to be able to sit down and finally play. There’s a huge amount of potential with this system and I am very excited to see there’s the possibility of more to come.

Hey good work your progress has been inspiring to see keep it up man. I can relate to you on getting into the hobby later on in life ( all-most a year in myself) and I’ve made practice videos on contents for the hobby but I’m my own worst credit 😅 i wanna get better equipment (using an iPhone currently )but I heard a wise man say if you wait your never gonna start. Might i kindly ask what are you using to keep the camera still like that? Is it a special stance? I only ask cause I’ve been holding the camera and I’m a shaky person 😂 also Ker Nethalas wise what’s your approach on the Rot? (Page 74 rule book)
@kristofva5 күн бұрын
Great video! I think you forgot to go over the combat rule changes you made from using some of C&A, do you have a write up of those somewhere maybe? For example, you seem to ignore the weapon speed of the dagger? +1 dmg for winning the initiative seems to be new as well? Parry only with parry weapons seems harsh, do some more weapons get that trait or is dodge basically mandatory?

@jcraigwilliams706 күн бұрын
@@SeekersHollow I hesitate to buy from eBay. I have looked on Amazon. They have one copy available on the Canadian site (where I am) but it's going for $140, which is significantly more than what it was a couple of weeks ago. They don't seem to have it on the US site. On the Free League site, they show it as available in EU/ AUS/ UK, but not in CA/ US, so I asked when it might be back in stock and their response was "The X mark next to Canada indicates that the item is out of stock with our Canadian distributor. Meanwhile, the green dot next to the UK/World shows that it is available through our UK distributor for the rest of the world, including regions not specifically listed, like Asian countries. There's no reprint planned for the out-of-stock products at the moment." So I guess the only things to hope for are a second edition or for "at the moment" to mean "perhaps in a few months." Or maybe they will release a softcover version. I find it odd, myself, given that it seems to be gaining more attention from players. When I started writing this about 4 minutes ago, I double-checked the price on Amazon. Just now I checked again to see if there was a shipping charge and that one copy is already gone.

18:00 - I must admit that I was initially a little sceptical over how good Ker Nethalas could be given the amount of hype for the game on r/solo_roleplaying. However, when I got the game and played through the rules, I realised that the hype was justified! It's a game that does what it does phenomenally well. I love the fact that it doesn't fall into the trap of making the PC larger-than-life, or some sort of Conan-esque hero, instead characters feel gritty and like they are fighting for survival.

Harn looks really cool, super detailed! Maybe when I have a lot of time on my hands I can get to it! Delta Green, while I'm not really into current day-ish settings, I love D100 systems and darker horror elements. A possibility! CoC kinda same thing with the setting not really being my vibe, but I love Cthulhu influences on grim dark fantasy! Shadowdark I think is fairly similar to Outcast Silver Raiders in terms of the rules system? MYZ another one where I'm not really drawn by the setting, but I know it's got a sizable following.

When you play Hostile Solo again, could you try using the Scene Resolution rules? For example... 1. The marines would make a plan against the enemy combat armor. The farthest marines would provide covering/suppressing fire, to distract the enemy. The nearest ones would sneak forward then lob them grenades! 2. Set the Difficulty and Danger levels then Roll! 3. Resolve the scene. Did they succeed or fail, by what degree? What were the consequences?
