The “Savage Worlds” of Simon of Argoston S1 Eps 15: The Haunting of Edbert

[@Raul_MM]

That Edbert flashback sequence was *so* well done, major kudos. When he fell asleep again afterwards and the flashback sequence started again, the only thing I could say was "Dude, that's effed up..." Phenomenal stuff, I'm majorly invested in this series even though I know Simon won't die for at least 7 more episodes!

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

In many ways that’s the moment in season one that I’m most proud of. Thanks for noticing!

[@alejotm000]

Man, we even got flashbacks now, this is intense!

[@armana1404]

The dream was a brilliant idea! Fantastic storytelling!

[@abefroman81]

Acting chops are in full force on this episode!

[@DubiousByName]

That was a neat way to narratively incorporate a backstory event. Also, don't forget Savage Worlds' Interlude system while your characters are traveling. :)

[@ChrisC0921]

Great intro! Damn the cliffhangers!

[@Shishnut]

What an episode!!!!!!! Wow. I watch these on my TV, so it's harder to make a comment, but I just HAD to open it on my pc and write something, because this was beyond cool! Great, great storytelling and mood setting! I have also used to opportunity to make sure all the videos were properly liked! Don't forget to always like the videos, folks!!

[@CALPURNI0]

i love those dreams as introduction and flashbacks to help the understanding of the haunting of edbergt. great idea!

[@ChaoticVampire]

For some reason "threadbare blanket" really made me feel extra bad for Edbert. Poor long suffering man. I'd love to see him in the 3rd season!! (Yes I'm rewatching all the episodes patiently waiting for season 3 🤣)

[@jcraigwilliams70]

So, by now you know... :)

[@sotho9789]

Started with season two, now watching season one. You‘re really awesome and deserve sooooo much more views!

[@chopstyx141]

He really does

[@valentinpoix1727]

the same, I watched season 2 first, and I'm super taken with the first now. Can't wait to beggin the third

[@ssteele1812]

Only 77 comments after 5 years?! That dream sequence was on point. Here is another bump for your algorithm.

[@mordcore]

cherylin: "... and i took that personally"

[@winterconstellations]

Ohh. my gosh. How does this video not have thousands of comments and likes?? I was honestly trying to avoid comments because spoilers 😱 and I’ve been super invested since I found this series around a week ago, but I HAVE to comment here. The dream sequence was so incredibly well done, and I love that you used it as a cold open. I’ve been listening to the series during my commutes to work and it was quite cold and foggy tonight on the drive home, and this made. my. night. Absolute favorite part so far; I felt like I was there. Cannot wait to continue and find out what happens to the lads next!!

[@RyanManly]

I love the way this starts! Just found the show and solo rpg’ing. Loving it so much!

[@RevRaak]

LOVE the flashback.

[@Malkavian_Grin]

OH wow Trevor, you really gave Edbert a tragic history! It's so sad knowing how tortured he is every night, to relive that moment over and over. Delicious tragedy. Great job!

[@pcvoigtag]

Epic, inspired intro. Well done.

[@JarethDuLac]

That dream sequence. *Chef's kiss*

[@joe-tabasco]

So glad this exists. Excited to catch up but loving the journey. Some many little things to love in each episode like the repeat nightmare in this one.

[@kiwikenobi]

Had to come back and watch this one again now that Edbert has his own story in season three!

[@mysteryvondertheke8547]

You are such a great storyteller! Can't get enough of your videos :) I'm currently playing small one-shots solo and with my wife with the Tiny Dungeon 2 Edition ruleset. U gave me so much inspiration! Thank you

[@williamfaughnan6298]

Wow, that opening was enthralling! I can only hope to someday get anywhere close to this level of storytelling for my own solo or party campaigns. This adventure has been interesting and engaging all along, but that opening dream sequence really raised the bar.

[@juauke]

So good acting here, this was top notch! (That flashback part ❤️) Great series, I hope I will finish it by tonight to see its follow-ups

[@anixara9]

Watching this beginning is scaring me for what's to come, oh boy oh boy oh boy

[@mayanightstar]

Woah... This episode became at least twice as cinematic as usual

[@MetalRhino42]

Excellent once again

[@thereluctanthireling]

I've been spamming the videos since discovering this channel, just want to say great work, really enjoying the play through here.

[@UllricLex]

You are such a good actor.

[@garebear44]

Wow. Repeating here but that flashback tho. 10/10

[@dustinday8837]

That intro was A+!!

[@lukejackson3901]

It's criminal that this channel doesn't have 100k followers

[@bryangreen4825]

What a powerful beginning! Hit me right in the feels. 😢

[@coz_bb2084]

You are an amazing storyteller. So happy to be watching all of this for the first time, and even happier to hear a Season 3 is planned! Hi from Denmark!

[@spoonmason]

I got goosebumps!

[@zellfs]

I guess Edburt actually likes Cherlyn... I mean deep, really deep..

[@zellfs]

Imagine.. "is Edburt in love with Cherlyn?"... Lets see the fate chart... This is something Impossible... And EXTREME YES

[@andysimmons2648]

Yes, very very very deep. I wonder if his guilt gives her the power to haunt him??

[@zellfs]

@@andysimmons2648 hmmm it's an interesting point

[@paavohirn3728]

Oh my! This is too juicy! The storytelling is so vivid. I wonder if it's partly because you're so excited to find out yourself... Not to mention the skill and talent of course.

[@JohnBrute]

I believe I'm a lethargic Brute

[@ohzlv]

I love the show!

[@ashleykayfogle7933]

I love this show so much! Your an awesome storyteller

[@xenithsanguine]

I laughed my ass off that you said that killing the necromancer wouldn't count towards atonement. What I was thinking/hoping would happen is she would walk out of the wreckage as a near mortal again. That's probably how I would have crafted that, but sounds like you have something else in mind for these two. Looking forward to seeing what it is.

[@TheSharkPadlock]

Loved this episode! Probably my favorite so far in season one!

[@coreymayo8321]

Really hoping next week's episode has a Christmas theme. Maybe Ysabel brought some Elves with her. :)

[@danielcallaghan6892]

amazing! thanks for the videos, ive been trying this the past few days and having a blast, mythic with savage lands, had never tried either before that! any suggestions about making combat a little faster? it took me 1 hour to kill an orc chief last night, hard to kill some harder monsters solo! love the channel! Dan

[@jamesharrison142]

Was that Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat music at the end? Awesome 😉

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

Nope! My own licensed music. Don't wanna get sued ;)

[@jamesharrison142]

It had an echo of my childhood in it, loved it. Great stuff!

[@brunovalencia408]

@@MeMyselfandDieRPG Jeje. No cabe duda que eres muy bueno en lo que haces! 😸

[@romulocamargo9745]

I bought a Swade copy because the show. Just didn't in your links cause it's expensive to pay with Brazilian money. But I got a Brazilian version, from retropunk publishing.

[@ssteele1812]

I thought Cherolyn agreed to lighten up on Edbert a little bit if they stayed to take out the Necromancer? Did the thing with the crossbow at the end cancel that out?

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

The dice spoke in unpredictable ways, as they always do.

[@carnivalbill]

Is there a place where one could see these guys character sheets? I think that would be kinda cool.

[@Gamarishi]

Oh no, such a short episode

[@romulocamargo9745]

FFFF, what a idea!

[@teryarel]

What an intro! :O And ... the end is near ... ? (Not for quite some time, hopefully.)

Good grief, I can't believe this is free entertainment.

[@jakkfamily61]

Sincerely wondering...I've rolled extensively and Im unsure if I've missed something. So the focus table with the modifiers doesn't ever come up with a random discovery or bandit encounter or even creature encounter. Even the random event on the chart bases your decision on the event verbs and nouns which very rarely give you a creature or bandit or ruin or cave encounter. So whilst you're roaming around the woods...plains or mountains...where do the creatures come in or a lair or a cave or just a random event? Or stumble across a town? Or an artifact? Or do you base all of it off the event modifiers? I had to add a sub table to add these events. How do you do it?

[@corybanticfire]

The Perlious Wilds book has some journey/exploration rules for this. With Mythic, it's more of an interrupt scene. Or asking if you're ambushed or stumble upon dangers.

[@EricNicolaievsky]

Holly shit!

[@Magus_Mirran]

You'd think the ghost of an undead hunter would honor her promise to give Edbert some reprieve.

[@brunovalencia408]

👏👏

[@scribblingjoe]

I don’t think Cherlyn should hold Edbert responsible for her death. Clearly it was an accident. I mean, at least let him sleep.

[@grassypond]

Simon is hunted by Manfred, Edbert is hunted by the purifying flame, and Arn will eventually be hunted by a dragon. Heroes these days are always on the run from something, aren't they?

[@karencanan6199]

But sherlynn had agreed to let edbert sleep at night if they helped her rid the temple of the necromancer, (even though Simon's father wasn't there anymore.)

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

... right up until the moment where Edbert openly proposed to destroy her with Stonebolt. Banshees aren’t exactly the forgiving type ;)

[@bradutterstrom4105]

I don't have the mythic GM emulator, can I just use my magic 8 ball?

[@carpepoulet4943]

Reply hazy, try again.

[@dawidnowak8316]

Oh my xD

[@DanLangford]

Haha! www.rpgsolo.com/ some tools over here will be better than a Magic 8-ball.

[@AleksandrStrizhevskiy]

I really did not like that back story for Cherylin. It would be more interesting if he did something treacherous, like sell her put to the enemy necromancer. Or abandon her and run after all the other mercenaries died. This story just makes her out to be a bi*ch
