ISS Vanguard New Recruit Training Mission (Part 3) - spoiler-free

The third and final video in the series, dedicated to learning how to play ISS Vanguard, by Awaken Realms. Cobbled together (with grim determination) from a motley collection of publicly available PDFs.

I can’t even imagine how much effort has gone into making this series of tutorial videos. That look amazing and I love the humour thrown in too! Great job.

[@nolongeravailable108]

As I have said before, this video tutorial is by far the best for learning the game. You should receive some kudos from Awaken Realms

[@boardgamedungeon432]

You are a legend. I will watch everything in detail once I get my copy ! Your work is amazing!

[@glenndoncer1186]

One of the best multi-episode board game tutorials I’ve seen. Cleared up several areas of questions I had. Much thanks!

[@RidiculeTheBoardGamer]

Got the game yesterday and without any struggle I got though the tutorial mission with limited downtime, because of your videos. Great work, love the humor and visuals you use!

[@Izathel1]

This is, by far, the best series of tutorials for this game. Great production value, no spoilers all over the place, and an actually detailed tutorial instead of "that part you can just read for yourself".

[@manuelf.bertoa6349]

Best video ever seen, those touches of humor and sarcasm make it unique, without forgetting the great editing work.

[@rahotep789]

Thats a great point about the Memorial Wall. So good to not have a defeat snowball rolling downhill if someone is unlucky enough to die. Great game mechanic.

[@luminati6284]

amazing quality...and the right amount of laughs/sarcasm. subscribed!!

[@3MBG]

The memorial wall rant could have been pulled straight from my brain. Just finished watching the whole series and am gonna give the game a go tonight

[@3MBG]

Just released my oathsworn video, which is why i sat on vanguard for 3 weeks. Only so much brain space available

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

@@3MBG Hope you enjoy ISS even half as much as I have (so far). And congrats on packing just about the entire Oathsworn rulebook into a blistering 3 minute vid!

[@frellvonyotz8772]

Awesome, I've been waiting for Part 3. Thanks, mate, the videos are amazing!

[@daveharris2568]

Absolutely brilliant!! All game publishers should watch these three rules vides to see how to do it properly.

[@Sompik3]

This is in my opinion the best video tutorial for a game I have watched so far. Thank you for your work

[@barrystephens6808]

Not only is the production quality incredible- you were the only person that was addressing nuanced questions I had about specific rules/workflow systems.

[@beakerkell]

Appreciated the tutorials while I wait for my copy! :)

[@PoulLB]

Thanks for the tutorial videos and for the time you spend on making them. They were very informativ and fun to watch.

[@GIVEPAUSEhobby]

Such an amazing video trilogy! I'm looking forward to the game even more, thanks to these. EXTREMELY well done, from one YT game teacher to another, thank you so much for all this time and effort!

[@regohgarcia]

Been waiting for this release!!! Thanks for the great content!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@ExBeeOne]

Please consider creating Part 4 (and perhaps 5 and 6) of this series. I chose single shipment, so I won't be enjoying the game for another year or so, but I have watched this series more than ten times now. It's so educational, and funny - hilarious really - and the production is just absolutely stellar - no pun intended. You already include a few advanced scenarios, like Lister assisting, with Shaw not rolling any dice at all. But following the FB-group and BGG-forums questions still arise, both basic and advanced. Please, please, please, consider expanding this series somehow. I'll give you my credit card details if you do!

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

Thanks for the positive feedback, and sorry to hear that you have to wait for Wave 2 to get your copy. (It'll be worth the wait, though). I made these videos with nothing but some public PDF files, and my own guesswork... so the results weren't quite what I'd hoped for. In future, maybe I'll be able to connect with game companies who are interested in providing input / feedback while I'm making them.

[@ahtf184]

Absolutely brilliant!

[@lifeofeddie8185]

Just.......AMAZING.....work of art. Enjoyable AND Easy to learn/understand..step by step by step. I already understood the rules, but know i definetely UNDERSTAND. Im only in my first "real" non-tutorial mission and i LOVE it. Great game, cant await the stretch goal campaign/missions + add on campaign :)

[@agorfein]

That was SO helpful! Love the Easter Egg crew members and stuff!

[@richardkingston794]

What a great video, so clearly explained. I am expecting my copy as soon as it is released from Felixstowe strike. Once here, will rewatch.

[@joellen5984]

This should set the new standard for how to videos! Superb work - I like how you've showcased the balance with humor. It is hard and sometimes the luck is not with you but the story you've woven here actually makes me feel a little better about losing a crew member. Nice job!

[@jimberry7385]

Really enjoyed this series and waiting on the game to come in to rewatch them all over. Sending you some tip money using the credit card you showed.

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

Wow, a Triganic Pu! So generous... thanks.

[@jimberry7385]

Be sure to spend it in one place and good luck getting it there!

[@Roberto-ku6ou]

Love your vids. Watched oathsworn and Vanguard many times.

[@Znadder]

This is the greatest thing ive seen :D Great humor and clear cut instructions :) Taking the game for a spin today, 4 players ! This tutorial helps immensely :)

[@ExpendableOne23]

Outstanding videos. I'll recommend it to all my players.

[@rcwinter]

"%$! &%&#, If there is one thing you can count on from an Awaken Realms game, its that harsh reminder of the fragility of our own existence!" made me laugh out loud! your whole series was great! and so appreciative of an amazing amount of work. I have already been playing and on my second planet, but this helps to polish off edges! Thank you!

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

Thanks for the feedback, and enjoy your explorations!

[@markwillis9186]

Fantastic videos, big thank you. Hope you enjoy the game!

[@NazgulGamer1]

Dang - I so want the NZ comedy expansion where all the additional crew match these videos. Well done! Enjoyable to watch and gives us an idea of how to play. We unboxed our kit last night with sundrop models and the additional pets. Well worth those two options.

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

I'm jealous! (Having bought just the vanilla base game). Now I have to resist the Siren's call of the re-opened pledge manager...

[@JohnClem56]

Really (inter)stellar job on these videos! Provided a great rules overview/explanation for all parts of the game which really helps me get a good feel for playing the game while also being entertained by the excellent humor, sarcasm, and terrific editing. Brilliant work! Thank you for all the effort and making these available.

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

Thanks for the positive comment! Glad to hear it's been helpful.

[@iansutton7416]

another superb video - many thanks

[@ccharalara1]

Brilliant video! So helpful and so well made!

[@darrencarroll3123]

Absolutely brilliant

[@JohnHoliver]

Delightful :)

Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful!

[@simon9522]

[@amnesiai]

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

[@tomasharvan6548]

[@anaconda156]

Great content. Thank you very much

[@LenLindsay]

Great

[@Satanski666]

Great tutorial. Have a sub!

[@voltreker]

can you please describe the production part of the Iss vanguard ship phase..how do you progress from stage one to its completion?

[@TabletopToolbox]

These videos were fantastic!!! As a fellow board game content creator, I'd love to know what software these were made with - looks like something I'd love to play with. I salute you for a job well done!! Cheers!

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

Thanks for the feedback. Great stuff over on your channel, too. Mine are most made with Blender and Hitfilm (which I usually credit, in the video description).

[@patrickzhao0610]

So where can we play with the software you used in the videos?😅
