*Nate filmed this alone in his basement with the Video Wizard on video call. Comment and tell him what a good job he did. Please disregard the sounds of birds, cars, and stomping children.*

What's up guys!? Denth28 here, the obvious way you kill a cart is with pot holes, or speed bumps. Nothing like a shape earth spell. And if no one has that then axes generally do the trick. I love that I had a hand in this idea. Nate and Selina really brought the video together. Great job!! Wildlands is going to be EPIC!!

[@DwarvenForgeOfficial]

Potholes! LOL Thanks for your non-stop stream of positivity. You're the best!

[@klhonestguide6937]

Omg been waiting for a new video. Always gives hope to all dungeon adventures, Hail Dwarven Forge 💪

[@DwarvenForgeOfficial]

Yay!! Thank you for watching

[@J3of4]

For stopping the cart, I am thinking there are some options. You could try and break the wheels, if you have a mage maybe cast stasis, or sadly set it on fire. Also I really appreciate the multiple configurations in this, definitely shows the versatility of the set.

[@gilmoresgloriouswood5255]

... I think isolation is getting to you guys xD Cool builds though! Three for one! I can get used to this B)

[@petestandley2690]

It would be a useful addition to indicate which packs or kits someone would need to get from the shop to replicate what Nate demos in these Builds

[@chrislowell8416]

It is referenced at the start of the video, and you can buy the build of the month on the website

[@DwarvenForgeOfficial]

Chris is correct! We go over which sets are used at 0:15 :)

[@petestandley2690]

@@DwarvenForgeOfficial I was not as clear as I should have been, put that info in the text under the video, like where you mentioned you are taking few months off. You also need to know which part of the shop to locate the BotM each time. The text just says read all about it, perhaps say, "You can get the BotM here!" in the text. Just trying to make it easy for folks to find it.

When will you start selling that Gary Gygax mini?

[@josephskiles]

I'm pretty sure he is from a set sold from another company, I'm sure I saw it at a game store recently

[@DwarvenForgeOfficial]

@@josephskiles It was sent to us by a backer who painted the book he's holding as our Dungeon of Doom module

[@josephskiles]

Obviously you deal with the cart the same way you would a gazebo 😏

[@Boodoosh69]

How to stop an animated cart? just get the Rabbit to explain existential pointlessness of life or use Gary Gygax and his book 'Tales of a Lagomorph' as a meat shield as you mount it and tame it like a wild bronco or .....

[@wargamingrecon]

Did Nate create this at home using DF terrain he owns?

[@DwarvenForgeOfficial]

He did indeed!

[@wargamingrecon]

@@DwarvenForgeOfficial Love to know what equipment he used to film (camera, mic, lighting, etc). It looks good.

[@DwarvenForgeOfficial]

@@wargamingrecon He brought home our existing film equipment. The close-up camera is a Sony a9 with a nikkor 85mm macro lens. He is using the rhode microphone you can see in the intro, which has been since discontinued but rhode mics are great so you won't go wrong buying another from their wares. The overhead is a logitech webcam that we do not like but had to make do for lack of space.

[@wargamingrecon]

@@DwarvenForgeOfficial Nice on the A9. I'm using a Canon EOS 80D with a Canon 18-135mm lens (or Canon 55-250mm macro lens when needed) with a Rode VideoMicGo shotgun mic (or BOYA BY-M1 lav mic...basically the same as the Rode SmartLav but with a longer cable). For live streams I bet we're using the same webcam. I have a Logitech c920, which is nice enough for shooting in 1080p (although it always downscales to 720p) with the Logitech Webcam Settings app on my MacBook Pro to fine tune things a little. I recommend that app if you'll be using your Logitech webcam anymore. Then with some $$ from my show's 2020 Kickstarter I bought Neewer 176 LED lights and Neewer 160 LED lights in a kit with stands, softboxes, etc. For the podcast I use the Logitech c920 with a Blue Yeti...for the time being.

[@wargamingrecon]

In light of the pandemic and this being the final Build of the Month for some time, how plausible is it that this Build of the Month Bundle will be made available again? The link to that bundle at shop.dwarvenforge.com/pages/resources-build-of-the-month directs visitors to a page with a 404 error.

[@DwarvenForgeOfficial]

The bundle won't become available again, but more BOTM are in the works. Nate lists the sets at the beginning of this video. You can scroll through the city builder section of the webstore or type the name into the search bar for the specific set you want.

[@wargamingrecon]

@@DwarvenForgeOfficial Yeah I had a peek. All but two are sold out. One of the two in stock I have. That's ok. When the October restock happens I'm hoping to be lucky enough to get some stone sets because I'm planning a series of content to promote Dwarven Forge to wargamers. My aim is to sustain that as a way to keep it in the mind of my audience for when you do the 2021 City Builder KS. Think they call it a drip campaign in marketing.

[@sl0m0sl0vak]

Cast heat metal on the cart. It will catch fire soon enough.

[@angelmanfredy]

I knew this was based on a looney toons story.

[@sl0m0sl0vak]

Damn. Look at Nate's forearm. Dude is swole.
