"Not the scene I intended, but the scene that happened." One of the things that I love most about solo gaming is when the dice throw you a curve ball. 🙂

[@samakechijowo]

"Is this what I think it is?" then consult the Fate Chart. I'm sorry but I'm gonna steal that for my own solo run from now on

[@gameylannister1379]

The Silent Death Assassins really lived up to their namesake - dying silently. 😂

[@jackmasterpunk8350]

I'm just impressed she managed to outrun the Guards and incapacitated two assassins in a full blown ball gown

[@jamesmks]

Love the personality mechanic in pendragon, cool to see it here

[@robharperful]

Oh yes yes, I hate the "tink tink boom" aspect of Pendragon but love that personality and its way of reflecting cultures.

[@Three_Blind_Dice]

This episode really showed the strength of the system and the sim-lite design philosophy. Can't wait to see more!

[@thomasranney8913]

Well😅, this season certainly hit its stride in episode 4. Holy crap was i glued! Speaking of hitting it's stride, loving the refinement of the combat mechanics.

[@dranorter]

It needs the views though! Only 3k views on the episode right now, definitely below average for the channel.

[@nvRfear1911]

This episode took a quite the turn. Veil not being able to save the assassin's makes sense because she herself is an assassin and she did a good job out of instinct, attacking her targets in such a way it's hard to render medical aid.

[@ruolbu]

Just imagine that strike to the head, oof. But genuinely, during the fight I was already wonderin if we just encountered the main character of Season 5 or something with these random NPCs xD. GUESS NOT! lol

[@heckhoundbolt8574]

Love the personality mechanic from pendragon. Glad it is being used here

[@andrewmitchell3289]

Your enthusiasm, imagination and the new gameplay being invented is just so exciting it is difficult to wait for each episode

[@garthajones]

Love the camel sound effect 🤣

[@JamesWoodNarrator]

This season is giving me very strong "Prince of Persia' vibes... and I'm loving it!!

[@pierluigimadau]

This rpg mechanics are awesome! Mostly certain I'll switch from VIP to backer at kickstarter! Love the story so far!

[@steelgavin6099]

A new episode of MMD S4!!! Hell yes!!!!

[@chloe-historyandgames]

love the music, creed 3 and black flag and mirage vibes (at the end) and halfway was beautiful like elder scrolls music

[@7mmScout]

Going strong Trevor. Interesting that you are choosing Veil's actions based on die rolls...hadn't really considered that in my solo game, for my character.

[@zindayn]

My boss knew to give me my break for this premier. So glad i could catch it.

[@TheDarkestReign]

@10:23 I know it's meant as "Seize her!", but I can't help but think Caesar the guard is going to somehow end up as the protagonist in Season 5. 🤣

[@GroovyAshley77]

Great episode as always 👍 SPOILERS BELOW! I just find it real funny that Veil tends to really go for the lower body area, especially the legs when she stabs someone LOL. I even checked back on Season 3 and sure enough…she stabbed Edbert in the foot during their fight LOL

[@SkittleBombs]

Lots of dice rolls but you make them seem fast and efficient. True pro

[@dranorter]

This episode really showcased some cool mechanics! Loved the partial parry, stabbing past the shield, and the chase mechanic. Plus the altered scene was satisfying.

[@SkittleBombs]

Love the personality trait from pendragon you just taught me exists

[@KatelynJoe]

I feel like I’m starting to get more of a grasp on the combat mechanics and loved seeing you get to use the altered scene table! ✨ Crazy how much Mythic can switch things up with such elegance and simplicity yet so much impact!

[@funwithmadness]

If you really want to see Trevor enthusiastic, watch his videos at 2x speed! :)

[@christophercobb8008]

There is a Mythic supplement that gives altered focus tables depending on what you're running. You introduced me to it back in Season 1 when you did the horror focus table in the temple of thurizan I think it was. It would be cool to see the Action Adventure focus table take centerstage as you go forward.

[@christophercobb8008]

So far, so good. I'm glad you implemented a version of the Pendragon/Paladin personality table. I'm a huge fan of that mechanic to keep the player honest. The story is heating up, for sure. I'm sure it was a drag to have to come up with what to do next after botching those heal rolls. I think that skill of storytelling is paramount for moving things forward when the dice destroy what you thought was going to happen.

[@donnieinman8049]

Really liking what I see of the RPG. I love Pendragon and really like the aspects you've brought in from it.

[@_grumpytoad]

What an exciting episode! Love the new rules! Love the new threads! Can't wait for the next episode!

[@Mothsaam]

The system is looking awesome, I'm very excited for the kickstarter. Maybe then I can stop system hopping every time I start a new game.

[@ToYoubeCartoonz]

Great episode! Cant wait to see the broken empires rolled out.

[@ReignOfHazards]

Fantastic episode! I'm really liking the bits and pieces of your game system that you're showing. Keep up the great work, Trevor!

[@animatorFan74]

Very cool.... I feel like there's a heck of a lot more intrigue in this season.... season 1 and 3 featured a heck of a lot more epic action, but this one seems to be balancing intrigue, social interaction and action. But that's cool.... it's keeping the action focused on Thragg and Veil which is cool. Love the action encounter in the inn..... so scary. :)

[@wispsprojects1120]

Oh, Usage Dice, I really like that mechanic. And the story really seem to be picking up speed too!

[@MGP2210]

Really cool setup, Trevor 😊. 🎲🎲🎲🎲🎲/ 5🎲

[@MLN89018]

Excellent episode! Thank you.

[@MGP2210]

20:44 Kill Bill Siren Sound!! ⚔️

[@larryg.6118]

An action-packed episode that went by way too fast! Cannot wait for the next one.

[@UllricLex]

Really cool episode. The only thing you forgot is the poisoned wound from the fight and whether it still has any effect afterwards.

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

Thanks. I didn’t forget- the poison didn’t take effect. She *will* have to heal that 3 pt wound to the chest, though. That’ll be next episode.

[@RomanEmin]

Another great episode. As usual, great work!

[@doomhippie6673]

Nice! Love the show.

[@zuzoscorner]

Love watching you play and develope your system ene though i'd never really do table top. story telling is cool

[@luizricon]

Here we go!

[@nateabels5151]

Great stuff again. So exciting!

[@SaintSolo]

This was amazing Trevor 👏❤

[@ruolbu]

There can be said a lot about the effort to do all these little rolls, but I really like the granularity that spring forth from them. Really curious about the full rule set, with just the details we have from these episodes I always forget something and can't really predict what do to next and what I have to expect.

[@macoppy6571]

The Pulp Action is really well paced. Three obstacles (minimum), each with consequences for the following element. The PCs did not escape unscathed. What other dangers will they face before they have an opportunity to recover?

[@JamesEck9095]

loving these mechanics..... storyline ain't bad either

[@chloe-historyandgames]

epic chase then close battle!

[@YannMiollan]

I loved the opposed stealth rolls and the medicine rolls

[@swampzan8646]

Oh yeah another one ☝🏽

[@toddmen8302]

I was pleasantly surprised that the fight scene conjured images of Xena for me. But are we just going to ignore the fact hat Veil got hit wit a poisoned blade? Maybe it'll get addressed now that they have a place to hole up. I fgured I'd mention it though since we know Trevor forgets details like that sometimes.

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

She has to deal with a 3-pt puncture wound to the chest, which she will as soon as she gets situated at a safe inn. As we saw in the episode, the poison didn’t take effect, thankfully.

[@toddmen8302]

@@MeMyselfandDieRPG Ah ok. Thanks Trevor. I guess it was my turn to miss the detail 😆

[@heckhoundbolt8574]

I feel like spending resolve after a roll is super powerful. Imagine if someone has a skill of 58 and rolls a 63. Spending just one point of resolve turns a failure into six degrees of success

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

You have to *succeed* at the roll in order to spend resolve on extra SLs. Otherwise you can only re-roll.

[@wilywonky]

Nice! I've been wondering where the next episode is. Is everything alright over there, Trevor? Are you stressed out?

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

Was on a much needed vacation :)

[@adiosgringo8200]

I would think that a successful parry (die roll 05) should still garnish some benefit. Otherwise, what is the difference between this level of parry and a fail? I would imagine a success attack die roll 04 would be avoided. My thought, a successful parry, no matter the roll, would give the person a minimum of 1 success pt.

[@adiosgringo8200]

Where does a person get the Egyptian like Temple platform at the 4:10 mark?

[@ARKavli]

Using the one's die for hit location seems to limit your ability to critically hit certain locations, if I'm understanding it correctly. You'd need a skill of at least 77 to critically hit location 7, 88 for location 8, etc. Or do crits work different for to-hit rolls?

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

When you crit, you get bonus “crit” effects. Also, you can always spend SLs to choose location.

[@Ancient_West]

Getting more and more excited to see what you do with The Broken Empires. It's becoming one of my most anticipated games this year to get. Also, I would kill to be able to see this as a movie. I know we have theater of the mind, but this would make an epic film.

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

Call your local Hollywood producer! 😃

[@passthegrits]

What's even better, is that I imagine Trevor playing all of the roles... Kind of like Bugs Bunny playing baseball. 🤣

[@Ancient_West]

@@MeMyselfandDieRPG I live 20 minutes from you. There's nobody down here. lol

[@Graunstin]

incroyable

[@wreckthatmeal]

Would you recommend The Broken Empires for a solo player new to rpg and dice games in general? Will it ship to the UK?

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

Thanks for asking, Matthew. In all honesty, if you’re brand new to RPGs, I probably wouldn’t recommend my game as your first one. It’s not really designed for beginners, although one of my first games was Rolemaster - and if a beginner can grok that beast, then The Broken Empires would be a piece of cake ;) As for shipping, all of that is handled through the Kickstarter pledge manager and the fulfillment company, so as far as I know UK based customers can get it.

[@eriksalholm]

General question to the community: Can anybody recommend a good general discord server for solo rpg folks?
