The Italians have been really interested in apocalyptic settings as of late 😅

[@murmillo42]

of late? It's been like that for centuries.

[@darkranger116]

catholics reeeaaallllly love projecting their contempt on literally everything 😂

[@federerlkonig330]

As an italian, this is a golden age for our rpgs. Memento Mori, Apocalypse, Brancalonia, Inferno, Not the End...

[@patatebleue6408]

If you like this game, Two Little Mice as also made Household which is a much cuter and chill RPG

[@pamphletthebeanwolf5901]

2 Little Mice deserve a spot with the best of them. Top of the game right now in my opinion. They're original, dedicated and highly skilled developers who put love and passion into each of their games and it shows. I implore anyone to check out 2 Little Mice, their games are all fantastic but this one takes the cake for me. Thanks for putting this on my radar Dave!

[@TonyRedgrave]

That is an extremely good corruption mechanic. Starting with one filled slot and watching it spread across your sheet fits the theme perfectly.

[@frankrafaelsen7260]

It is almost like a serious Mork Borg. Love Two Little Mice, they make excellent games.

[@zivkitaro]

Thanks for the video; it helped me push to support them. Got the Deathless edition (the one you show with all 4 books) - an incredible piece of work, and I'm glad I got it. I'm going to run my first session in a month or so.

[@GreaserGhoul]

Just got my set in the mail. Gorgeous game, beautifully made. Great video, Dave!

[@imadottallah422]

Backed right away. The art and setting sounds amazing. The rules are a bit different, but are pretty cool.

[@BlackGulchSaloon]

I've been searching everywhere for a TTRPG that captures the vibe of the Blasphemous games and am relieved to have come across this. Even though this is like being "Blessed by The Grievous Miracle" and not fighting as a Penitent, I am still pleased nonetheless. I will definitely be ready for this when it comes out, I'd back it right now if I could lol.

[@nosotrosloslobosestamosreg4115]

I think I'll study their way of handling Corruption for my own setting.

[@obamabiden]

when i saw "does corruption like no other" i immediately thought of the Pendragon 5e rules for being like, a corrupt sheriff maybe not quite the right corruption

[@joerama]

Beautiful review. I love the “Two Little Mice”. I have two of their three products, and the production quality is awesome. TY for sharing your find and thoughts!

[@fofoagressive]

The name corruption is a thing of beauty. I´m impressed.

[@DaveThaumavore]

Agreed.

[@joaquinsanchez8199]

I agree... from the start it reminded me of Agon and the use of the Name and Epithet for rolls... but loosing it to darkness and corruption... uff... chef kiss.

[@fofoagressive]

"I had a name once, but it was a long time ago"@@joaquinsanchez8199

[@Blaugo84]

Got the book and I'm looking forward to running a one-shot! And looking *really* forward to Roll20 compatibility

[@nicklarocco4178]

This looks like a cross between Plague mud and blood roleplaying, like Warhammer, and Bloodborne. Plagueborne? Yes please.

[@jasondelvaux3036]

The concept & setting get an A+ at first glance... the system is a tad too White Wolfy to me, but seems to tie in well with the overall theme of the game, so maybe a B-. I'll have to pick up the quick start rules to give it a closer look. Not certain I want to back this yet, but I love dark, gritty horror games. Memento Mori seems to have a Darkest Dungeon/Warhammer kind of vibe. Oh, and I'd give the artwork a solid A, as well. Thanks for posting this.

[@incongruentgames]

Looks amazing. Great vid. :)

[@MultiOmega1911]

Backed It some days ago, can't wait!

[@grindcoreninja6527]

I'm definitely interested in the setting, but I'll need to look further into the rules because I've accidentally backed games I later learned were Fate or PBtA based and I haven't been able to get into the "theater" style games.

[@Sanguivore]

Seconded. Fate/PBtA are definitely not for me.

[@jaancarlo]

Excellent review.

[@BokehBard]

This is Soul Sacrifice as a ttrpg. Thats rad.

[@K_E_Robin]

TBH: I'll definiently run this set in Mörk Borg setting! 💛💀💛

[@glaedth]

2LM is on a roll with their products, I backed Household back in the day after checking out Broken Compass and I also backed Memento Mori, skipped outgunned tho, not really my vibe

[@artistpoet5253]

sounds like a great system to play in but I'm not too excited about the inevitable doom thing. The corruption mechanic is interesting though.

[@DustyLamp]

Instant back

[@kalleendo7577]

awesome!!!

[@marsoll84]

Looks very atmospheric and designed very intriguing, but too dark for my liking.

[@HerrFenrisWolf]

This isn't how european medieval illustrations would look like, it's more an historism look, a very romanticised idea of how people imagine that something from the middle ages might have looked like.... I would call that neo-historism... due to the very modern interpretation. The game looks very interesting to me. Might back.

[@HerrFenrisWolf]

Backed it, btw

[@novocaine2279]

Looks fun

[@piotrkomendant684]

Sounds cool but a bit style over substance (30some lines of text with veeery wide margins). Looks like 200 a5 pages of memento manual translates to 40 pages of standard a4 rpg book.

[@yagsipcc287]

Donyou kniw if this can be played solo as well?

[@DaveThaumavore]

With a GME like Mythic 2e, it wouldn’t be a problem.

[@yagsipcc287]

@@DaveThaumavore thanks for the quick reply. I always like to check if they have their own solo stuff before adding my own thanks again bud. Will have to back this later before the backerkit ends.

[@dhawkeye4439]

Does anyone know if there will be a way to get this game after having missed the backerkit?

[@shallemshteinbock3866]

You have until the end of the month to late pledge if im not mistaken

[@ghotycfunny]

looks like the dark souls rpg is actually bad, and THIS is the real deal.

[@kacperdrabikowski5074]

It might be because there are only so many ways to portray a person slowly decaying physically and mentally into complete husk, but I agree that at least the Blood Corruption has parallels with Hollowing.

[@HeribertoEstolano]

The game sonds Great, but the name has been so Overused these last couple years I can't stand even looking at it.. Ask any tatoo artist how many "Memento Mory" they've tatooed this year and they reply you couple hundreds even if we're still in january.

[@piotrp6793]

I find it interesting (in negative way) that the more people are working on RPGs the darker and more disgusting themes they seam to follow/incorporate in their work... Yes: "disgusting" - as I find themes and what is happening with the PCs in this game as disgusting. I wonder why people like to spend their precious time and imagine that they are beings that are slowly, but inevitable corrupted? Why do they willingly "load" such things to their minds/brains? I can't imagine it could by in any way beneficial to any person's "psyche". We call some things as "disgusting"... because well... they are. Why do some people are trying to embrace them? And Two Little Mice games: "Indiana Jons" -> "Little people in mysterious house" -> "Die Hard the game" ->... and now "imagine being consumed by devil influence" ? What happened with them? Of course: I'm not trying to tell other people what they should or shouldn't do with the free time. But I'm asking them to... ask them self if playing such themes/games will make their lives any better? For me answer is obvious:) But of course I may not see something about all of this. I have the same reservations about other games, like: Kult and such. Why someone would want to "load" such awful things to their minds is beyond me... I just hope that some of them simply don't like it for some sick reasons....

[@MitWalker123]

Strong playing gta will turn u into a murderer vibes from this comment

[@drillerdev4624]

I guess you can heroically slay so many goblins before you want to try something different. The fact that on one hand we get games with jaded miscreants fighting a losing battle against the world, and on the other so many carefree nostalgic games inspired by the 80s pop up is a sign of ourselves living in stressful times.

[@ravenstudioproductions3139]

I find it interesting that people need to criticize what other people find interesting. If it's not for you, ignore and move on.

[@piotrp6793]

@@MitWalker123 I don't think it is a good analogy in any means. Last time I played GTA game (probably the Vice City one) - the game focus wasn't about "murdering people" - it was only a possibility, a background. I.e. if you would start only murder NPC in this game, you would be bored like in an hour or so to death. Also the act of killing NPC's was quite abstracted, so I don't remember anything "disgusting" I this game.

[@piotrp6793]

@@ravenstudioproductions3139 Oh... don't take it so personally... :) I don't feel I was criticizing this game or people playing it. I just stated my opinion about themes in it, and stated my wonder why do people like/engage in such things/subjects. As I can't find a reason myself why anyone would like to "load" such things into their brains? But I also stated that I may be missing something:) I.e. there is a painting A, so people love it some hate it. Why shouldn't I be allowed to say that I don't like it and why? Other example: am I only obligated to prize every movie I watch or say nothing about it if I don't like it? I think the comments section is just for this: to state your opinion. Going by your approach I could also say: "I find it interesting that people need to criticize other people's opinions and not leave any input in the discussion. If my opinion is not for you, ignore and don't leave comment that adds nothing to the discussion." ;P
