I really enjoyed Laurie in the role of the beast! When he became the de facto head of the channel, there were a few comments which said they missed him being the "dark, brooding anger in the corner".

[@rinwithers3238]

Enjoyed Blair's intro! Glad to see the channel thriving.

[@codewordbw3340]

*Spoilers* for those that haven't finished the game yet I think the upgrade that allowed all of the Hunters and Settlers to move 1 space in the night, and the choice for all of the Hunters to get onto Laurie's square, is actually what did them in instead of helping them. Especially after the upgraded damage that Laurie got. Him being able to immediately kill one of them because they were in his square at the start of the 2nd round started the chain reaction that caused them to lose

[@adaelion3772]

And on this episode, Laurie goes... Hog-wild.

[@MrJojux]

I loved watching it and seeing Laurie go into beast mode. I have missed the more complex games, where I can follow the action. With the card games like "Lovecraft Letter" or "Smash Up" it is hard to follow, as there is no player perspective. Really hope there are some more games like this coming in the future.

[@ferb2002]

2 corrections 1.The game isnt over in 3 nights, its 4. Thats why there are 3 nights of reawards and one more of game over 2. You can pass if no one has more ACTION cards. Not any card

the hutner at start of game "we can look pass the mass murder of villages but we draw the line at sheep killing"

[@jasonburke9144]

Just a few errors for those who maybe interested in this game. If Laurie plays a summons action he can only summon a new summon or perform a summons action. Also any card can be used to move 1 step, but it's the only action you can take.

[@AlexSchokking]

Right it looks like Laurie cheated there at least once when he summoned and attacked?

[@SharienGaming]

@@AlexSchokking well not so much cheating and more making a rules mistake - cheating would require an intent to subvert the rules... which i dont think is fair to ascribe to laurie errors like that will happen with a new game one plays

[@AlexSchokking]

@@SharienGaming yup totally fair, I agree there was no intent there and the rule book for this game is notoriously hard to read. I would restate as a rules mistake that dramatically favored him in a way that was difficult for the hunters to overcome.

[@Moleoflands]

​@@AlexSchokkingThey did also make a big tactical mistake starting the night right next to him to give themselves no turns to react to being attacked next day

[@SharienGaming]

@@AlexSchokking yeah that mistake likely started spiralling pretty badly - it may seem pretty minor to only either summon or act, but it would likely mean that he would not have had as many boars around (or they would not have done as much damage)

[@k-aw-teksleepysageuni8181]

I think they should play ANY OSR/D&D style rpg that ISNT D&D. Heck even a pathfinder one-shot. But I feel like the crew could really grasp an OSR style sword & sorcery game with a hint of gonzo and comedy. Something like 5e Hardcore (if the players know 5e rules already), maybe Knave or Deathbringer even. Something that the DM can make a campy, gritty, gonzo style campaign without getting too number crunchy or using grid combat... ==THe staples of a great TTRPG let's play I've found are== >Theater of mind game play in most situations. >Combats on 'zone' maps, not grids. These can be depicted with dungeon craft terrain, but grids are expunged for 'zones' and more theater of mind range/spell area calculations. >Making sure every player at the table is very well versed in the basic rules of the game and their PC, OR using a system with simple rules and letting DM have full-fiat. >Low to Mid level (Lvl 3 to 10 in D&D terms) >A story that is enticing with a strong sense of duty/adventure, and sprinkle some funny/weird NPCs. >Player Characters must be unique and have at least 1 of the following (or any other intrigue); quirky personality, a sworn enemy that tries to destroy them, a debt they can never repay, a person/thing they can't love, or a place they can not go, a thing they must protect with their life to save something important/the world.

[@Axelaxe004]

Alright, I didn't want to write all the rule mistakes and oversights but as I've seen all those hunters dying I feel obligated to do so. Edit: this comment was too long so I've deleted my comments about minor mistakes... Firstly, whenever there's a summon action, you can either summon a new summon or use the summons that you have on board. So in the contract phase it wouldn't be possible for hogbad to summon a summon and then use all of the other summons. Which is connected to other things that happened later that day such as Adapt which allowed him to move 3 steps (one step for every summon...) Secondly, if Hunter dies it does not lose all of its upgrades (I'm pretty sure about this), so it's not exactly like a DnD. And lastly, Helga's upgrade allows Hunters to play a track as a reaction to the Beast attacking. Which means that tge beast would say that it attacks then the reactions can be activated and in this phase the Hunters could have played track to basically avoid the Beast's attack! So no dead Hunters day two... This is the true power of Helga. PS I'm also not completely sure if whenever Beast went over a settler there was a track placed on that location. Or at least the Hunters didn't seem aware of this rule, because they considered whether Hogbad could be on a location with a settler even though there clearly would have been a trail in that case. Edit: confirmed. Beast never put trails when it arrived at location with a settler... PPS Awesome playthrough! Please do not think I don't appreciate what you're doing because the entire video was very entertaining.

[@andrewclifton185]

Just in time as the expansion- shattered isles has just gone live on gamefound

[@dav1dgear]

BTW on 1:09 you should have put the track on the farmer. Each time the hunter move to a settler you put a track there. Won't matter since you killed the farmer afterward, but it's good to note
