AFK - Betrayal at the House on the Hill

[@MVPUnlucky]

"Don't fuck this up Rienhardt!" - every Mercy main ever.

[@seanwang6143]

This is one of the most rewatchable videos ever. There are just so many good jokes, the cast is awesome (even Paul off camera), and the game they're playing is one of the best board games of all time. We even got two equally incredible haunts as well, one that can be played up for laughs for how short it was, and one that can definitely become a feature length film. Everything about this video I love, and can't help coming back to it again and again

[@Alino-]

Yeah uh, I have seen this game in the past but never got it..... but I think I will. I used to play games like D&D but (SURPRISE!) those things take a lot of free time, time I don't have to devote to long term campaigns / character creation. I REALLY like how this looks since it's much faster (Than D&D anyways) and it feels like a roleplaying game despite being a board game.

[@spencerbeard3904]

1:30:00 Look at page 4 of the 2010 edition of the rulebook. It says to start with the basement landing AND SHOWS the basement landing in picture for the starting set up of the game!

[@LessWater]

In my friend group Ox Bellows is nicknamed Beefy McLargehuge

[@williamwalton9154]

Beef McSlabmuscle here.

[@kyuzo3567]

Im getting flashbacks t the Tabletop episode of this. Somehow Flash always gets the revolver

[@edisontrent618]

Dang...the roleplaying in this is just the absolute best.

[@Thrythlind]

On flavor pre-Hollywood mythical zombies reconstitute from any injury, even if burned to ash, until you cause them to experience something that reminds them of their life. So recovering from dynamite works.

[@BiGDaDeJoe]

More Betrayal at the House on the Hill please

[@chadoftoons]

Until the board turns yellow from age

[@lazyboy3890]

Yes more betrayal at the house on the hill

[@Thrythlind]

The Collapsed Floor only dumps you when you first discover it, I think, because that's when the floor breaks and after that everybody can see the hole and go around it.

[@tronzero]

16:15 "Doctor Divinity" sounds like a great name for a comic book character.

[@mechadoggy]

tronzero it has been considered the most prestigious degree for centuries (although they usually only award those in Britain and not America)

[@TWDPokemonTCG]

I haven't watched the other Betrayal playthroughs yet, but I definitely hope they get the movements right with the stairs and landings since EVERY tile is considered its own room

[@bballlover9]

As my one friend calls it "Scooby Doo and the Gang only they all die" such an amazing game and one where the Monopoly and Catan(I mean basic) players can actually enjoy.

[@OzPearsall]

"Qwrpline was a mistake." "YOU TAKE THAT BACK!"

[@ywatcher2106]

58:28 that whole bit of "wait isn't she like 8?" and "OK this problem's gonna solve itself!" 1:19:35 skeletons: we're full of them! 1:24:50 "I fall into the wine cellar and get fucked up" and "you found an escape route out of the house." 1:28:45 "there's a dripping organ in here." "you should see a doctor." 1:31:45 "you should stop following the child" "an 'underground' lake" and "you probably shouldn't follow me into the bedroom" 1:35:35 "and in the gymnasium i find a girl" 2:22:10 "you cant beat me" 2:23:00 "why is his belt off?"

[@saiconjr]

Finally got to play this 2 weeks ago. SUPA fun! Request as once a month pls!

[@jumpinjehosephat1877]

Oddly, the first time I played this game I was wearing a kigurumi.

[@BrightBlueInk]

"her name is Honoka. It's an idol joke." Hey! I understood that reference!

[@Thrythlind]

There are actually short bios for each of the characters in the back of one of books.

[@cscotch1127]

It's the traitors tome

[@Ennead13x]

This game is a fave! I got the second scenario the last time we played. But because the rules are - as the chat says - in several pieces, none of us survivors knew that we could even attack the madman controlling the zombies. Which lead to a very confused traitor player being lead all around the house by a truly brilliant but slow bait strat.

[@Thrythlind]

First edition of Betrayal you could stay in the Buff rooms and just boost your stats over and over because the "once per game" language was nowhere present.

[@Cathowl]

Every time you go "n-n-NERD" something dies a little inside me.

[@Thrythlind]

I have a character who was desperate to get rid of her Russian accent (from her mother) that she self-taught herself a "real" American accent and by high school was stuck in Valley Speak unless she got upset enough to slip back into Russian. Her written English is very well-spoken and erudite, enough so that she has to prove to teachers that she writes her own papers and she never figures out why they find it questionable. The teachers end up watching her give a good summary of her paper just filled with lots of "likes" and "you knows" enunciating everything like a question. I based it on my own issues where I feel like I speak with less fluently than I write though she had a more extreme version.

[@heyy13]

Flash is my favourite character. He's broken af. Whenever my friend Lauren plays one of the little girls you know she's going to be the traitor.

[@martianunlimited]

#1:50:40 The traitor is immune to the effects of the room btw :)

[@spencerbeard3904]

The alcohol causes them to forget the fine details of the rules.

[@VandrothSoryn]

That second game was perfect. It would make a pretty cool short film hint hint wink wink

[@legendaryseph9406]

I didn't know how much it bothered me that omens were getting called haunts until now

[@dominicjob7529]

in game 2 i thought they would cut to the darck crystal.

[@Thrythlind]

We had a game where someone entered the elevator and exited out on the room they started the turn on because it was the only one available at that level. Which began our group's "I've been here before!" in joke.

[@Thrythlind]

The Ring is awesome in some haunts, it basically gives you a psychic attack...also I usually think of it as Aladdin's Ring.

[@skeldrakus]

I'm disappointed I couldn't hear the story of the girl in the house's gym.

[@Neddyhk]

I can't believe they missed the "Shovel Knight" reference.

[@danielslack9114]

When someone attacks me and I block I have them off balance. There is no chance I'm not breaking the arm I blocked, throwing them to the ground, or striking them in the face while there arms are unavailable to block. It is quite realistic to deal damage on a block.

[@robschottjr.630]

Ian’s voice for Professor Longfellow sounds like Carl Wheezer from Jimmy Neutron!

[@713thHellhound]

wait is that spam next to pokeball lol

[@synapticstatic0140]

i forgot, which haunt has crimson jack in it?

[@richardgautney5005]

17min rules - "Mystic Elevator: This tile moves as soon as you enter it. [...] You can use the elevator only once a turn. Monsters and the traitor can both use the Mystic Elevator to go wherever they wish without rolling. However, the tile still moves only once during each entire traitor/monster set of turns, the first time either a traitor or monster enters it. [...] A hero must roll for the destination floor each turn he or she enters the Mystic Elevator, or at the end of each entire turn that hero spends on that tile without moving." You can't sit in the elevator or decline to use it after entering. This is very important for a lot of haunts, otherwise the elevator can become extremely broken.

[@mathchamp93]

Yeah, that entire turn was a mess. The rules for the Mystic Elevator are: - As soon as you enter the Mystic Elevator, you roll for its destination - this would include when you discover it. This one is actually in the rulebook itself, but not on the tile (the tile just says to roll without explicitly saying that you must, while the revision adds "once per turn"). In general for most board games or card games, unless something says "you may" or "you can" you generally assume that it is required, plus the rulebook says it moves immediately, so that's the rule. - In addition, as you mentioned, if an explorer (before the haunt) or hero remains in the Mystic Elevator during their turn, they must roll to move it. For the traitor or monsters, the elevator also moves as soon as one of them enters (but only once in the entire sequence), though the traitor chooses where it goes (though it must move from its original spot). So when Father Rhineheart found the elevator he should have immediately rolled the two dice, moved the elevator tile with his character, then (optionally) spend his remaining 2 movement to explore wherever he ended up. In addition, he moved 4 spaces that turn despite having only 3 movement. Not that he found anything anyways. Quite a few of the special rooms have additional information about them in the rulebook, clarifying their function or adding additional rules for the tile. For example, sliding down the coal chute does not count towards your movement (though climbing up, when allowed, does). Another big one is that only the person who DISCOVERS the Collapsed Room needs to make the speed roll. After that, anyone entering this room can choose whether or not to fall (if you fall you take damage).

[@Breadnaught]

1:42:08 Ian's references are great

[@firekitten6724]

Hmm didnt the last zombie have to stay there as he did not have line of sight on the last survivor as that was the reason flash had to move.

[@mechadoggy]

It'd be easier to imagine Ben as Ox Bellows if he took off that ridiculously looking hood. The hood suits him better if he were roleplaying Father Reinhardt or one of the kid characters

[@ghostbirdofprey]

but they're roleplaying. He's pretending NOT to be a giant kid with bills to pay.

[@Thrythlind]

You can attack and then run away.

[@nickhowe4802]

Holy shit Ian Predicted Toy Story 4 way before it even happened 😮

[@rogerr3576]

2:27:37

[@Kevin-es6vo]

55:50 Can anyone explain how this was a mistake?

[@asaguda]

The chat said the traitor was not supposed to have the medallion (Which is true- The traitor in that haunt cannot carry the medallion,) so they gave the medallion to someone else. However, the rulebook says that the traitor is the youngest character EXCEPT the haunt revealer, because the haunt revealer has the medallion. Either the chat trolled them, or they misunderstood.

[@spyone4828]

I don't think they misunderstood, I think it was a third option: when they learned that the person holding the medallion can't become the traitor, Corey had already read some or all of the stuff that only the Traitor should read. So the best fix was to make someone else the medallion holder instead of making someone else the Traitor.

[@spencerbeard3904]

After extensive analysis of every element including widow's walk, running statistics. Odds. Ect, I can conclude that there is no best character. Each character should start on certain floors, based on their strengths and weaknesses

[@phoenix-wx2yk]

what's the intro music

[@ShadowPhoenix82]

so lucky the guy off camera was keeping them honest at the table. seems players are always shifting the rules, heh.

[@tomjackal5708]

oh that was BEEJ okay i couldn't tell under all that

[@Thrythlind]

A madman attacks a genius teen and a little girl wielding the Spear of Destiny.....it is less than effective. Then he uses zombie and it's super effective.

[@chaplain1112]

Doggo stupid op. Iv never won (if traitor) or lost (if survivor) when the other players find the doggie. And I NEVER FIND HIM!!!!

[@TheSunbaneglasses]

Why is Ben... wearing a red panda?

[@TheQueerLeaf]

doors can be placed facing walls

[@JakobLogan]

Only if there is no other option.

[@creative_commander4973]

JakobLogan not necessarily. You can place the doors to create false doors at any time UNLESS it would seal off an area or make no more possible doors for people to place things

[@min1メ冬Kryo]

As a weeb I'm sad no one got the Honoka joke.

[@oemhongly3668]

How did you guys explore so long at my second game the first round was the haunt and I was like fuck my friend murdered me first and than all my other friends

[@dr.vegapunk5853]

i got one question that seem *NOBODY KNOWS THE ANSWER* for what purpose is the little number on the monster tokens? what is that? what's that indicating? since the god DAMN rule book talk jack shit about it and forum aren't talking about it

[@Korruptted]

You can use those to determine hidden traitors, as well as a few things in certain haunts. Beyond that, I do not believe they have a purpose.

[@ThinEndOfTheSWedge]

Enjoyed the stream but I've watched the game played a few times and it feels a little counter heavy for me. I have the same problem with this as I do with Arkham- why not just have a roleplaying session! Then you don't need anywhere near as many fiddly bits of cardboard, and the inevitable knocking of tiles.

[@alasanof]

that's a very cute red panda kigu!

[@Linosek279]

2:10:33 DIO?!?

[@RoderickEtheria]

He shouldn't have been able to keep the 2 on that die. When it refers to dice, it's meaning the dice that come with the game.

[@XxX_DADP_XxX]

This was a fun stream

[@romankovalsky8337]

I either missed smth or you did it wrong with the first turn after haunt's revealing. It's always the person to the left from the traitor, irrespective of who revealed the haunt.

[@romankovalsky8337]

and if you stay in one room with a traitor, it takes 2 speed to leave the room.

[@axinhedgelion8417]

You missed something. There’s many haunts and each one determines who the traitor is

[@tomjackal5708]

protagonist Ben Flash Williams

[@TheQueerLeaf]

they are doing it wrong. the piece of cardboard with numbers on it correspond with different haunts.

[@Cyronstratos119]

Ben is a real hottie

[@mechadoggy]

Daddy

[@furybanana2427]

well be cool to see the card but reading is cool too

[@dieffenbachj]

Ugh. I can handle either the voices or them intentionally making annoying noises for extended duration, but after a while both together start to grate on me. First AFK I couldn't finish watching, and it sucks because I love Betrayal.

[@mechadoggy]

Especially the guy on the farthest right

[@cadenwiener9686]

I could deal with the guy playing the priest but the guy on the far right was too much

[@Alino-]

This video has convinced me to get this to play with friends, it looks EXTREMELY fun. Like a roleplaying game where a DM doesn't have to spend way-too-much time working on a narrative and the story is less loose.

[@Alino-]

@@cadenwiener9686 Also, agree on this. Guy on the right really pissed me off, wouldn't shut up even after his character died. In our game group, if you die in this kind of game.... you stay quiet and watch and maybe make jokes, but don't try to plan out stuff since you're not still alive in-game.

[@MrDtothed]

lol the juggalo love, hahahahah

[@danielsmith5318]

Ok, the German accent becomes annoying after a while, I'm sorry to say

[@davidthompson4585]

Love the chips

[@chumdubeau1817]

pretty sure you're either a fox or racoon lol not panda XD

[@derdioto]

He's wearing a Red Panda kigurumi. :)

[@johns832]

why eat on stream... wtf, why.

[@kwazooplayingguardsman5615]

john s are you kidding? the food is half the reason why I come to our game nights. one of our members actually bring throw away ice cream cakes from work. its amazing.

[@TheQueerLeaf]

whoever gets the haunt keeps it

[@chriscross2350]

Why does that person look like a Reddit moderator had a baby with an earth worm? Sounds like that offspring too.

[@matttinnell6874]

Other than Ben these dudes are obnoxious and annoying

[@jonsavage2412]

the chick, lol....

[@TheWindpacer]

Most annoying noises... worst experience watching afk video... I am a big fan of afk but this video here is an exception... 😖

[@Alino-]

Right guy was the problem to me. IDK if he had a ton of monsters or what

[@johnnypoole1105]

I was enjoying this until I had to listen to the loudest chewing I have ever heard. Dear god is that a deliberate act to chase away potential subscribers or are you just inconsiderate of the people that suffer from misophonia?
