I love this setup! Elevates this game to another level.

[@thetabletopengineerplays]

Thanks for the kind words! - Jim

[@davidmunoz2176]

It's been a while since you've played 4AD! Good to see it back on your radar.

[@thetabletopengineerplays]

Yeah, I'm enjoying playing it again.

[@Adventurer-1971]

Awesome. I just got this game a few days ago and started last night. This video showed me a lot. Thanks

[@thetabletopengineerplays]

Welcome!

[@Dragonslair7]

Dragons are immune to sleep spell!

[@thetabletopengineerplays]

Not this one, apparently :)

[@ok_ninja]

This is awesome.

[@thetabletopengineerplays]

Thank you!

I wonder what kind of app you are using on the tablet with the charactersheets?

[@thetabletopengineerplays]

It's called GoodNotes. You create notebooks and insert pages into them. I have a notebook for each solo game I play.

[@mrsslogart]

Set up is great. where did you get the board?

[@thetabletopengineerplays]

I made it. www.etsy.com/listing/1752227409/4ad-game-board-solo-dungeon-game-aid

[@disciple012]

Since you do a lot of solo dungeon delving videos like this, you should look into the game Random Quest: Dungeon Delve.

[@disciple012]

Or Grotten.

[@JRF2k]

Are the character cards a downloadable thing or did you make those? I just picked this game up too, haven't had a chance to get into it, so thanks for these videos. They really help!

[@thetabletopengineerplays]

They're just digital cards I made myself so I could put up on the screen.

[@Themrjoliveira]

Maybe you should mark that the +1 mace for the Rogue is a magical mace . It might be important in the future being a magical weapon.

[@thetabletopengineerplays]

Good idea!

[@LordVilmore]

Seeing this game played it is much lighter on rules than you think it is when you gloss over the rules. I guess it really is true that the rulebook is badly written and needs a second edition that is more structured. I'm gonna give this a go during vacation

[@JevousGaming]

I definitely found that some rules are found in odd places and paging around as you learn the game cannot make your head spin. Last I heard there is a 2nd edition on the way, possibly incorporating some of the supplements.

[@tekay44]

a 1 is always a miss, no matter how many modifiers.

[@thetabletopengineerplays]

This is for Defense rolls only. Not sure if that's what you meant. For attacks, a 1 can be modified.

[@robertcouto7061]

Hi a natural one no matter if its a attack or defense is always a miss. You can't alter it with modifiers.

[@robertcouto7061]

By the way fun video!

[@robertcouto7061]

Gah sorry for another comment. The first attack if its a natural one its an auto miss. But if you have a exploding dice and you roll a 1 it is just counted as a 7 + modifiers

[@xxxthunderdude2]

Great video. Where did you get the wooden frame you play on?
