Dungeons & Dragons: Waterdeep - Dungeon of the Mad Mage Board Game | Adventure 1

[@haxan6663]

I know that the D& D adventure series doesn't get a lot of love, so good to see one featured again. I have the first 4 sets and enjoy them for easy to table, quick adventures. Love the coins that you used!

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

I agree!! I understand they are easier than most fans for rules but it makes them so approachable! Hope you pull one off your shelf and play soon! Thanks for watching!!

[@arcubal]

Always was curious about these, simply because they are dungeon crawlers and i love those but also a bit due to the nostalgia of D&D days of yore... Well played, Colin, well played...

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

I totally agree!! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@dazir_solo_board_gaming3840]

Wow, awesome playthrough! Love the series. I highly recommend mixing all of them together and chucking in the Event/Room Cards from BGG (created by ninjadorg aka Mr Tristan Hall)

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

So I only own this series now, but I do like the idea of some new events! I will look that up!! thanks so much for watching, Adventure 2 will be out tomorrow!

[@docbun]

I am so happy you are the one playing this, not me... I would have rolls 5's and 6's a plenty! :) :)

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Hahaha!!!!!!!! Just need to roll that for the enemies!!

[@Mark-nh2hs]

That was one thing I housed ruled hated how all enemies were all immune to traps. In one of these games the trap was a giant boulder which filled the corridor and inflicted massive damage on the hero's yet zero for all the monsters in the same corridor. So it was decided that the can trigger traps and be affected by them or killed, however, any monster killed by a trap the hero's do not get the experience points or draw a treasure.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Oh that's a cool idea!!!

[@mdsgeist7960]

Seems logical and more realistic.

[@darrensmith8487]

I had the Drizzt one, but ultimately found the underlying system flawed (for my tastes). Since you either explore or draw a card (which are almost all bad). The exploration adds a monster, which attacks you before you can react. Although it was well balanced (the game was always close), it felt like player decisions hardly mattered. It all came down to the enemy d20 rolls. You can probably tell it broke my heart a little. After a few plays with the kids, we just switched to actually playing D&D.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Totally get it! It is certainly on the lighter side, I don't mind having a game where I just bash in some enemy heads just as they bash mine. But yeah if you want more than that, DnD is the way to go! Thanks for watching!!

[@robyndittler8634]

Wait a minute- you are playing D&D without me and Bairnt! We go to Ireland one time and this is what happens😂

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Hahaha!!!! I will need to fix that!!

[@BillHolmesUSN]

No chocolate for you! :)

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Oh no!!! But I love chocolate haha!!

[@arcubal]

Wait a minute... you came to Ireland and didn't even pop in to say hi? Sheesh 😂

[@TheDungeonDive]

These games are cool. I actually prefer them as one off games. Much better than campaign style, at least for me. :) The one off games with the fan made event decks are perfect little dungeon crawls.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

I can totally see that!! I'm just a super sucker to campaign games cause I love items and good carrying over. But I agree the one offs work great if that is the type of game style you prefer. Great to hear from you!!

[@TheDungeonDive]

@@MeetMeAtTheTablepart of my comment got cut off. Think I hit submit too fast. Meant to say that’s the way I prefer, not that one is better. :)

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Totally I know you've spoken a lot about how you prefer one offs due to the nature of reviewing games it's hard to fit a campaign into the schedule! We feel that over here as well!!

[@Michael.Virtus]

17:17 - Bag of SILVER= Gain 200 GOLD pieces. 28:46 - Pouch of COPPER = Gain 100 GOLD pieces. Wait what?

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

I guess it is better than copper?? :)

[@FireFr0ggy]

It is the dungeon of the Mad Mage after all.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Hehehe!! Nothing makes sense!! Or cents... haha!

[@chrisw942]

I wanted this set, but it sold out fast! Castle Ravenloft and Legend of Drizzt are good quick fun! Thanks for the video!😊

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Yeah they didn't print many likely due to all the errors! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@pryzegaming6067]

I plan on combining all of the D&D Adventure Systems and the D&D Onslaught game. I'm considering using this Dungeon of the Mad Mage as the main game for the tiles and scenarios. To streamline the play, I was thinking of using the Adventure System rules and converting the Onslaught character's powers that have a counter into Utility and Daily powers. Some of Onslaught characters already have a power that can be used once, but most are abilities that have a 3 - 5 turn cooldown. I'll have to tweak some of the onslaught bosses to be more in line with the Adventure System bosses, but overall, I think the two systems can work well together and give a lot more random monsters to appear and not require a DM.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Such a cool idea!! Let us know how it goes!!

[@MyParedrus]

Cool playthrough Colin! This is the only one of the d&d board games i don't own, and I am thinking of buying it! Also, very nice money chips! Which ones are they, if you remember?

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Thanks so much for watching!! I forgot to put the link! Here it is: pirategoldpoker.com/

Dusting off my copy of The Tomb of Annihilation as we speak

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Yes yes yes!!!!!!

[@mdsgeist7960]

I bought little animals for the druid so when he transformed as an alligator or ape, they really were one!

[@AdamSinclair]

No idea where to buy this in the UK. Seems a really good set to introduce to my daughter

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Yeah it's not readily available here in the US either. I got it back when they first made the game not sure they are printing more

[@michaelcacchillo7003]

I love thesgames. I don't own this one or Legend of Drizzzt YET

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

I hope you get them!! They are fun!!

[@kefaraa7509]

This os absolutely noce to see a fresh video about d&d.. What do you think is it a good edition to get for a friend as present that never played d&d but would like to try it ?

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

I think so! A lot of pple prefer some of the other titles if they know the background, but I feel like this has the best system as they continued to refine it each box!

[@kefaraa7509]

@@MeetMeAtTheTable have you played the Legend of Drizzt maybe mate? Would you go for Mad mage or Drizzt as a first purchase?

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

@kefaraa7509 drizzit is quite good I played the entire thing back in the day. It is one off adventures though. I would say it depends on if you'd prefer 1 offs or a campaign!

[@kefaraa7509]

@@MeetMeAtTheTable oh so Mad mage gives more replayability and you can do a sort of "you're own scenario"?
