You certainly did not lie when you said production value has been increased. Looks very good.

[@larryg.6118]

The thing I like the most about the game is that a single dice roll carries a lot of information. I love it. Also, very intrigued about the magic system. This season is looking great in every sense. More, please!

[@KingofJ95]

"You want to roll under your skill, but you want to roll high." Dominion Rules System, my beloved.

[@Mad3bunny]

How ironic that a Puesdo-immortal being’s worst nightmare is gonna be someone who knows exactly how to deliver ‘destined death’ Perfect enemy for Viel to overcome

[@HunterStormwolf]

Bro, yes.

[@Llesor]

We're back let's gooo! Really excited, the system seems awesome and it's really cool that you're releasing it! A lot of people already said it but the intros with the miniatures felt a bit more real to the actual play and let us use our imaginations more with the characters, I don't think the AI art intro worked for that haha Still awesome to see the production value, hope you take this as feedback cause this is my favorite RPG show!

[@Mad3bunny]

AI art is a mixed bad. I'm fine if it is for a season opening but after that I'm happy with the miniature opening because it defintely gives a more personal touch. :3

[@Llesor]

@@Mad3bunny Yeah! And don't get me wrong, I'm glad he tried something new, that's how you improve your content! Just felt that the miniatures gave a bit more "heart" to the intros overall.

[@samuelk.7608]

I'm here to make my contribution to the hype.

[@ruolbu]

I'm doing my part xD

[@joshwomack1954]

HYPE HYPE HYPE!

[@whaarp]

Love the system and the plot. A bit of feedback as a channel lover: take it nice and slow, I know you wanna limit time and episodes but this feels a tadbit rush-ey with setting up scenes, rules explanation, creating mood and overall voice flow. Now just as a personal taste, the whole AI + the website for the game and the text presenting it, is all quite marketing-ey and feels in contrast with the intimistic aspect of the Sage's Library (which the game is sort of the "avatar" of), the soloplay, the creativity etc. I think the genuine and the child-like enthusiasm is a very strong asset of yours and the channel, and feels a bit lost in the whole process launched with the season... that being said, I understand it's a lot of stress to get it right... and I might be wrong. I still pledged the 1 buck out of love for the channel, but I wanna voice the reasons why I like being around here :)

[@Entropy114]

I don't know if it's borrowed terminology from another "shared DNA system", but I love the label of "stain" for a semi-permanent penalty to endurance, etc. That's perfectly evocative and doesn't need any weird supplemental explanation to understand that it's negative and sticks to you but not super badly. Good choice of words, things like that matter in RPGs, especially when approaching the with fresh eyes!

[@audreyvalentine2781]

This is so cool! Thank you for all your hard work! I really appreciate the way the two main characters have a way of communicating even though one is mute.

[@samsolitaryroll]

Awesome first episode! Never expect you'll make Veil as your PC but I should've guessed when you mention the Order of Purifying Flame on the Lichdom episode! Great watch!

[@EdwinSteiner]

A voice actor playing a mute character is quite the ironic choice. ;-) Looking forward to the invisible pantomime in season 5!

[@BartvV2]

I am so happy the new season is finally here!

[@jamestraver356]

The Best! I am all in once again for another great season. Thank you and I really liked the CGI. I wish I could put together an opening like that for my own solo adventure.

[@yellowpetelol6417]

Had to avert my eyes during the AI animation, it just became too weird. Highly prefer still images, minis, or just narration. The intro was otherwise great, as was the rest of the episode. Love your use of the GME, and am interested to learn more about your system. Some aspects I think are really promising (e.g. information-dense rolls, wounds die, freeform magic). I'm excited for the season!

[@pimtooler6370]

The old intros with minis were so charming, I'd even take it if he went with full-on stage/halloween costumes. Because even ignoring the ethical concerns, there's just something so soulless about AI generated images. I'd take the cheap & corny any day over the lack of any human touch.

[@shawnwolf5961]

Loved the episode. The introduction was really cool, love the animations to it. The system itself is very, VERY interesting to be sure. I really quite enjoy your explanation of the magic system, it is reminiscent of the Divinity series. The combat looks like a lot of fun too. That said, I do have one minor quibble. I would like you to do longer episodes. I much preferred your lengthier ones from earlier seasons. My reasoning here is, as someone else said, the explanations feel a bit rushed, and when you limit them to 40ish minutes, I don't feel you leave enough time to do justice to certain things that I know we would love to see--and it takes away from your narration too. So please reconsider the design choice of smaller length episodes--the longer ones felt juuust right. Great to have you back in play and getting season 4 out there! This was a hell of a lot of fun to watch!

[@mr.vortex1]

YOOOO, I wasn't expecting such a banger opening!! Not even 10 minutes in and the hype is off the charts!

[@Nwise916]

Wow! What an excellent start to the season. And just love seeing the system unfold before us as. Very excited to see that finished product, whenever that may be! Also that intro was fantastic!

[@Gidizz]

What a wonderful first episode. My only "complaint" is that it wasn't long enough! 😄 I love everything I've seen regarding the game system, especially the combat and magic rules. Magnificent!!!

[@JamesEck9095]

I listened to this while in the middle of a 9hr drive.... the opening was excellent and reminded me of a "golden age" radio drama in style and professional quality.

[@ReinNext-ki8wx]

Epic opening! Loving Veil & Thrag as protagonists. The system is intriguing so far massive amount of detail from a few quick rolls. Can’t wait to see more!

[@Gidizz]

The Kickstarter news - so exciting. Sign me up!!!

[@thebrothersslim6056]

So excited for this season! And exploring a new system on top of that? Beauty.

[@Eryomis]

The face animation was extremely goofy and offputting, but other than that, it's a great start! I'm pumped about a new season. :) For future "cinematics", a still image would be better, even during dialogues in my opinion.

[@AaronQ64]

Its cool and uncanny valley. It worked well in the shadowrun limited series so I get why hes using it here

[@enasyorl268]

That IS an awesome start ! I'll definitely black up your rpg kickstarter !

[@KatelynJoe]

Amazing!! Already so hyped for the system and all its evolutions! Plus, it's so interesting to see from Veil's perspective now in such a fun new location with the Red Wastes! EEE!

[@MichaelRupe-d9g]

We just finished watching the episode. It was Awesome. The story intro was brilliant. We are definitely on board for the Kickstarter.

[@Goldbeard_The_Pirate]

Fantastic beginning to a new season! I can't wait for the next one.

[@coggleton8223]

Wait, a monastic holy order where the elders AREN'T hyper-aggro inquisitors? Now that's novel

[@barnyfraggles]

The production value of this keeps getting better and better, well done, man. Love it!

[@Ashbornking133]

The fortune die mechanic is awesome. Love when the physical pieces matter on a tabletop rather than just the numeric totals.

[@Vanni-Bear]

I've been so hyped for this. it's great so far, glad to see Mythic back too

[@gravityX100]

Commenting as a sacrifice to the almighty algorithm! This new system is so good! I love the d100 black jack system and the degrees of success, advantage, and criticals are all very elegant.

[@5192aaron]

It was health inspection day at work, so I've been stressed to no end and COMPLETELY forgot my favorite RPG show airs today! Thank you, Trevor, for making my entire week!

[@rdorrance2124]

So excited for a new season and the new system!

[@nortonsapple227]

The introduction was totally unexpected!

[@tomjanssens6168]

Another great first episode. I love the voice acting and the inspiring story unfolding. Please keep at it, Trevor. I’ve joined the campaign as well. It looks like a system that I’ll like.

[@wargamr]

Fabulous work Trevor! Thanks for keeping the episodes short. Critical Role lost me long ago due to the length of their episodes. Just didn't have that much time to dedicate to that. This length is perfect, especially when I sit down for lunch or dinner, etc. Keep it up! :) p.s. Yeah, I get why you used the creepy AI, but damn the torpedoes... the intro was cool nonetheless, and your voice talent is (as always) amazing!!! 🎙

[@erebusgotd2958]

I love all Me, Myself and Die content! Contributing to the hype, Season Four, lets goooooo!!!!

[@MrJHDK]

Veil returns!! 😮 I'm so happy 🥲 Can't wait for the journey to continue. (Poor Carlos, we understand why you simped so hard)

[@stuartbramley]

Been thinking for ages that Trevor should make his own RPG. Really pleased he’s going for it. Loving it all so far.

[@elnovato-8165]

I want to say... My bet was Veil. Awesome name... But Carlos... Carlos... He survived odd, strange and cursed rolls.... Carlos...

[@brettlawson5679]

He’s too busy dealing with the conjurer of the beach

[@nvRfear1911]

S4 is here! Epic intro. Sherilyn's passing did have an effect as I was speculating. Thought Veil could make for a protagonist and here we are! 40+ mins went by fast. Combat feels like it has a lot of mechanics

[@CelticpredGaming]

Wow the production value has been increased so much! Love it!

[@matheusm.8784]

I haven't been exited for a Premier since the Walking Dead back in 2010, Lol! Amazing episode and system, great job Trevor, honestly! I need more!

[@PeterCongedo]

Just found this channel and I have binge watched 3 seasons and now starting on the 4th absolutely amazing

[@tenebraebr]

Glad to see Veil as the main character. Also very VERY interested in The Broken Empires. I already like the main roll system. I know it is WIP and it will change before the Kickstarter, and probably even after that, but it does pick my interest. Let's see how this goes.

[@thedourkin]

Welcome back! And, woah, that's an amazing intro animation 🙂

[@MichaelTauriainen]

Loving the new pilot intro!! looking forward to the rest of the season.

[@crazycaleb]

Incredible! I’m eager to see where this story goes and *very* eager to get my hands on this rulebook when it comes out. At some points the rules explanations felt a little like hearing someone explain the Cones of Dunshire, but in the best possible way. So far the “sim-lite” rules seem to hit the exact sweet spot that I want in a game.

[@ericb8851]

excellent start to the season! very interested to watch the system develop.

[@Trashcaller]

What a world you're building! Amazing! The system looks a lot of fun as well, I love a system with lots of clever info based on a single roll. Looking forward to this season's story (and seeing more of the Broken Empires RPG)! :D

[@Nonofyourbussiness15]

OMGOSH VEIL PROTAGONIST

[@orkcol]

I care not for well thought out praise... So I'll just say that was fucking awesome!

[@leem67444]

I love it, looking forward to how this tale unfolds!

[@brianboles7900]

So exciting! I enjoy that enemy NPCs have a habit of becoming main characters of another season :)

[@alca6023]

I can't wait for the show to start!

[@LordSquirrelShow]

Here we go, lads and lasses! System seems pretty cool. I especially like the Wound Die mechanic.

[@Matthew.thirtyseven]

awesome, glad you are back at it with this world. I look forward to seeing more.

[@danielv6906]

These battles play more like the ones in that 1973 version of the three musketeers, with Michael York as D'Artagnan. They always struck me as more realistic and funnier compared to the typical precision fencing common in many movies. More "oops" and "shit!" than anything else 😊

[@SGTMaitiMaus]

DDDUUUUUDDDEEEEE!!!!!!! So stoked for this project!!! I've been watching since season 1 where you introduced me to playing RPGs solo and Savage Worlds. I've signed up for the early launch bonus, and cannot wait!!! Good luck Trevor!

[@Stephen-Fox]

Very fun. Liking the look of the system so far. Cheers for this.

[@GamboDarkheart]

Very cool! Fantastic first episode!

[@YannMiollan]

I LOVE ALL ME MYSELF AND DIE VIDEOS!!!!!

[@chopstyx141]

The King Trevor is back baby 🗣

[@heathentongue]

Very excited about the new season and your new system!

[@The_Mad_Chef78]

I had it in the background at work, so I missed a lot. But I wanted to support the launch. I'll be watching again later. And I'm signed up for the RPG launch as well

[@RomanEmin]

Glad to watch the fourth season, an amazing milestone. First, congratulations on an amazing job. This first episode was really good, and I love how you've introduced characters from previous episodes and expanding your setting and world. I wish you the best of luck with your TRPG project, I'm eager to see your Kickstarter. I hope to see these stories one day in book format. The story, characters, and setting are just awesome. Thanks again for bringing and sharing such awesome work to entertain us, I can see how much work, effort, and love was used to make this series and I appreciate it.

[@MichaelBacaArtist]

Loved it! Very excited about what’s to come.

[@BubbaBobba]

Very much looking forward to this. Won't be able to watch it live unfortunately due to timezone however I'm excited all the same.

[@imperturbableDreamer]

I absolutely CANNOT believe „Legacy“ is a name not already taken by any other rpg. Seems like such a no-brainer. Anyway, I‘m very hyped to find out how it plays and who the protagonist will be this time around.

[@CelticpredGaming]

I believe Trevor developed his own game system that he will be using this season.

[@imperturbableDreamer]

@@CelticpredGaming yes. Trevor spoke about the trouble of finding a name that's not already in use during the live stream. That's what I was referencing.

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

Spoiler: Legacy is *not* the name of the system. It’s the name of the Season.

[@imperturbableDreamer]

​@@MeMyselfandDieRPG how sneaky of you after naming the other seasons after their systems! I fell right for it! ;)

[@CelticpredGaming]

@@imperturbableDreamer Same!

[@84guam]

Great first episode! I love me some Me Myself and Die!

[@solitaryrpg]

This was an amazing video and awesome introduction. All signed up as a VIP just amazing work

[@michaelmullenfiddler]

Huh. Cool. You are very good at explaining rules without getting bogged down (I would be saying "um... ah... err..." constantly. Lol). And somehow you are able to 1] explain rules in real time while 2] keeping track of steps in the action while 3] making it all look effortless and 4] simultaneous with all that, you were Actually Entertaining! Also, you took no breaks that i could see. No mean feat, all of that. I watched the entire episode. Maybe I will watch this entire season.

[@S_B-]

I don't necessarily mind the AI intro, but for me, nothing will compare to the simple epicness of the ironsworn season. Less is definitely more, imo. That said, looking forward to the new campaign!

[@sarahraynore6713]

As epic as that intro was I can't feel comfortable with the use of AI, but I can understand a person using it who otherwise wouldn't be able to do anything remotely similar vs a company who just wants to save what for them would be actual pennies. Really cool beginning of the new adventure! Not even once I thought about Veil as a protagonist. I imagined it would be a NPC from season 3 and I was on the Carlos boat given that epilogue (and how incredible popular he was, althought I get the sense you don't share that sentiment :P ). And when you said that there were kind of 2 main characters plus the bbeg being a liche... for me it made sense that Uruzz'however it was had sent Carlos to some place from his past trying to find a way to liberate him. Captain Nikola seemed a valid option too, but Veil???? Super excited, and reminds me of how Arne started with being antagonistic, then learning the truth about the person he was pursuing, and then becoming the main character of the new season! The system looks really interesting and although we've only seen a very superficial glance I can't wait to learn more, so mission accomplished I guess!

[@Dan-uu6wg]

Veil, hiding behind a corner in the shadows of the crypt, spies Morsorath overlooking an ancient text. Knowing this is her only chance, she creeps out the shadows with the spirit mantle in hand, ready to bind the mortal lich into his dream prison. Her stealth roll is a 99! A critical failure! Morsorath abruptly turns around, sees Veil, and unleashes a devastating bolt of energy that sends her reeling back. She slams back into the stone wall with a hard thud and her head whips back with a loud crack. With a flash of white before her eyes, snot bubbles coming out of her nose, Veil slumps to the ground. Morsorath approaches her, beginning to cast another spell to finish off the foolish assassin, as Veil looks up to him in defeat. However, here's a question... is it possible that anything happens this moment to interfere with the situation? I would say impossible... **rolls the dice**... a 2, an extreme yes!! **Rolls on the meaning table**, hmmm... "Guide" and "Emotion". "Guide" and "Emotion"... oh, I know! Suddenly, leaping out of the shadows jumping in front of Morsorath is CARLOS!! As he shouts, "Viel! All I do for you is for LOVE!!"

[@YannMiollan]

hahahahaha that was hilarious actually xD

[@ArnauMartinez-dr9pp]

Love the roll under skill but high. Also damage location. Well done Sr!

[@Gidizz]

Just the opening, and this is already all I could have hoped and more! I love all of your videos, Trevor. This is hands down the best RPG channel on KZbin.

[@CallumFergy]

I found this channel recently and I'm planning on churning through the backlog before coming on to S4 but wanted to comment for the algorithm!!

[@YannMiollan]

A noble gesture! Welcome to the gang, you're in for a treat :)

[@ReinReads]

Enjoy the journey!

[@G-Funk42]

Nice start to Season 4! This super-crunchy system of yours seems like it would take a lot of time to get used to, but maybe I'm judging your work-in-progress too soon. Either way, looking forward to more of Veil and Thrag's adventures in the Red Wastes!

[@Benjamin-l2f4f]

Very interesting combat and magic systems !!

[@graynanuuq]

really looking forward to seeing the development of the system.

[@UllricLex]

Great first episode and the intro was so cool.

[@tomaszrutkowski7676]

I'm super hyped for this season!

[@GroovyAshley77]

Veil is probably my favorite NPC in season 3 and just in general. So very happy to see her get her time to shine as the MC this season! 🤩🤩🤩 And Thragg too! Happy to see more of him. And while only the first episode, I already love the dynamic between and Veil and Thragg. Very fitting 👍 Overall, looking forward to see this duo on their epic adventure 😁

[@chrisstokoe3169]

Ooooh combat is in-depth I like it

[@koltonkulis4763]

I must admit, this long time Savage Worlds player was very skeptical when you said you were designing a simulationist inspired game. I figured it would not be for me. I like some tactical crunch, but I tend to abstract a lot of stuff. When you initially mentioned you'd have granular effects for hitting different body parts, I thought, "I'm out." After watching you run the system, I am intrigued. I really like the idea of using your successes to pay for different effects rather than expressing your intent before the roll.

[@shacharashkenazi6910]

I agree. Having your level of success provide you with "points" you can use to activate different effects integrates a different level of player choice that is unfamiliar and intriguing to me. I also like games where both your to-hit and damage is done using one roll.

[@Mankcam]

I'm seeing WFRP 4E Fast SL for core mechanic. WFRP Toughness. WFRP 4E crits/fumbles. Hit Locations. CoC 7E Bonus/Penalty Dice. Zones like Fate, Conan 2D20, etc I'm cool with that, I don't need to relearn too much, although Phases may be tricky for me to get my head around. Stamina Levels sounds good as well. Will be a fun game, the kind of thing I would homebrew. Yeah I'll definately back this! Love these shows, lots of creativity and energy

[@ReinReads]

Really enjoying the system can’t wait to see more of it and the evolution. Veil was the perfect choice. Loving it!

[@ZakJames]

I just binge watched the latter half of the third series to be up to date. Can't wait for this! Who's the protagonist?

[@aldoth]

Good Luck Trevor. Good start. I like the episode length.

[@SerpC]

Very exciting! Nice work.

[@Dirus-Nex]

Amazing like always Trevor! Signed up for the Kickstarter! I can't wait to play as a Spellweaver.

[@AlabasterJazz]

d100 with meta-dice info... you already have my enthusiastic attention good sir. I'm very much looking forward to all the interesting mechanics you have in store for us.

[@valentinpoix1727]

But what an intro!!! The aesthetics of the Order HQ are just perfect. Grandiose! The system seems a bit complex at first glance, but I can't wait to find out what happens next!!! Season 4 at last. I couldn't wait any longer. This is still the best actual play channel I've found. Keep up the good work Trevor! Great work. PS: I love that magic is open to interpretation, so many possibilities... Top!

[@SpearSilver]

The wait was worth it :D

[@thor7af3]

I may not catch it live - but I'll be damned if I'm gonna miss out on season 4!

[@dukereg]

Your system sounds really cool, a lot of mileage from not many rules.

[@harringtonmartin]

Brilliant, as always. What a fantastic start to the season. Kudos, good sir. REALLY looking forward to the Broken Empires system.

[@jameslondelmccullough344]

OMG Trevor, that INTRO. As others have said, WELL WORTH THE WAIT! The intro was AMAZING. I'm an emotional person already, but when I heard "Cherolyn's Legacy" and what we remember from past shows, I lost it. Wonderful! I'm beyond excited for this season, and what you've accomplished for your platform. Hugs buddy... Hugs!
