I am stunned this is an unofficial video. You sir, are a hero.

[@Ricardo-bw7ru]

i couldn't agree more!

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

Thanks - you're too kind. I'm delighted that many people have found it helpful.

[@MrScrawnjuan]

The app links to these videos, so I assume it's official now! Well done

[@jimberry7385]

Tom is one of the brains behind the game Unsettled so this is extra cool praise!

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

Thanks to Shadowborne Games for being so helpful and supportive of these videos (supplying rulebooks and assets, answering my stupid questions, and more). Without which, this video series would have been a three minute vlog, woven together from stick figure drawings, rules mistakes, and assorted ramblings / profanities.

[@paintandgame]

This should be the official video...top notch quality.

[@krisdray673]

Thank you, sir. The quality of these videos is just excellent. Spectacular video and narrative. As far as I know, the game is on the ship steaming this way!

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

Thanks for the the positive feedback. Yes, it's only a couple of months away now. :-)

[@Vascariz]

So happy these are based on the final rules!!!

[@TheGlassesPush]

What everyone else said: This is fantastic, and you are a gent of the highest order!

[@jean-baptisted.6642]

Hello, I m French but I understand English quite well. By the way, your series of Oathsworn videos are of great help for me! 👍🏻

[@2bitcents429]

This is one of the better board game videos I've seen (and I've seen more than I care to admit) I really hope you look into more boardgame videos.

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

Thanks, I'm glad it was helpful. And like you, I've fallen down a few board game video rabbit holes. (Curse you, KZbin!)

[@h4zz4rdous83]

So…friggin…hyped! Superb video, definitely subbing!

[@olebrommm]

im in on the second print. and thx for making this excellent series of some of the best board game rules related explanations i ever seen. love it.!!

[@ClintK.]

You've definitely set the bar my friend. Well done!

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

Thanks. The Oathsworn community are a nice bunch of people, and it's fun being a part of it.

[@thewarpandrealms9889]

Fantastic video!

[@patrickk.6641]

What a great introduction to a series. Very stoked for the next parts as well as the game itself. My girlfriend talked me into backing this game last sommer via late pledge and I could not be happier about it.

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

Your girlfriend is a wise woman.

[@sadgit1605]

After watching the complete Oathsworn Training Camp series, I am still amazed about the production quality. This is one of the best boardgame rules videos that I ever had the pleasure to encounter and on par with (if not better than) Paul Grogan's take on Oathsworn. Thanks for this! May I ask which software you have been using for the gameplay takes (rolling dice, cards and hex grid scenes) and then putting it all together?

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

Thanks very much! Glad you enjoyed it. It was mostly made with Blender (for the 3D) and Hitfilm Express (2D and compositing).

[@scottejacobson]

My battle helmet is off to you. Thank you so much for this incredible 6 part series on Oathsworn. You went above and beyond the wire. Incredible production values, extremely clear rules, infused with professionalism and a wry sense of humor. You have gotten me even more excited for probably my most anticipated game of 2021 (fingers crossed). Greatly appreciate all the blood, sweat, and tears put into the making of these videos. When I'm ready to Kickstart my first game, I may be knocking on your door!! Also noticed you are a Kiwi - what's your story? I'm married to a New Zealander - and we have a place in Waihi Beach. Next holiday, if you're anywhere nearby, my brother-in-law, son and I would love a 4th to join the table for a beer and a board game.

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

Thanks very much. It's been cool to hear from others who are also really looking forward to Oathsworn's arrival. And nice accent-spotting, by the way - I am indeed a Kiwi. Thanks for your offer of a seat at your gaming table, that's very generous. Waihi Beach is beautiful. As a Cantabrian, it's a little out of my way, but never say never! (And in the meantime, enjoy your time in the not-so-beautiful Deepwood).

[@preacherbeeman3437]

This is absolutely wonderful. Great production quality. Very informative. Thanks so much for creating these. I hope you are connected with Shadowborne going forward to do more videos like this.

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

Thanks, I'm glad they were useful. I did reach out to Shadowborne while making these, and they were amazingly helpful and supportive. Which inspired me to make the videos as good as I could manage.

[@slickerdrips]

This series is perfect! Crystal clear, and helped massively. Thank you!!

[@LapahnYT]

The game is up for kickstarting 2nd season again.

[@bornTwoFight]

Watched your Oathsworn video series and they are amazing!

[@ericli8726]

I just got my game and to be honest, if it weren't for these videos, I'd probably play the game much less than I am simply because of the magnitude of rules there are to read through and remember. Thanks for making this!

[@dailydoobies4209]

This is amazing!

[@Zilong09]

Hate how far apart your videos are. This was an excellent watch.

[@gluckskind297]

Thanks a lot for this absolut superb series! I've never seen such a good game explanation (and that says a lot for I'm not an english native speaker and usually I adore Rodney Smith ;)). Hopefully we will start our campaign tonight and I'm Sure we last more than 60 Seconds thanks to you 😊

[@Youtube_Globetrotter]

It will be on KS tomorrow

[@k-a-toffroad7237]

Thank you for these detailed training videos, was wondering if you will be doing a new video for all the new rules they have just announced

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

Thanks for the feedback and suggestion. I've noted a couple of changes in the Part 6 description. I'm working on a couple of non-Oathsworn videos at the moment, and haven't yet decided what will come after those.

[@razuhl9269]

I would consider this series to be taken as official video tutorial/rulebook and linked in the app and rulebook.

[@wesleywalser8409]

The production quality of this is absolutely shocking.

[@Fritzy1234]

Please help, one quick question, which I cant find. The „tests“ in the quick encounter modus, where you van get tokens if you pass them, how you do them?

[@dragonshadow1902]

1:40 "Consider everything is a spoiler so its best not to open the box at all." But how do I get to play it then.

[@boardgamedungeon432]

🤯

[@ryanbecker3993]

Coming to this now as my pledge is about to get delivered; do these rules still hold true? Or are there a lot of changes since this with the reprint?

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

As far as I know, there were just a few minor rules tweaks. Not a major overhaul. But I haven't received the updated content yet.

[@ryanbecker3993]

@@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283 gotcha, and thanks for the reply! I just got mine yesterday. These videos are awesome!

[@isaacthimbleby8926]

The narrated intro (from 2:55 ish) is that available publicly online anywhere? I’d like to send it to some prospective players!

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

That's taken from the video on the Kickstarter page (linked in the description).

[@sshim950]

: )

[@JohnHoliver]

I've just finished the series and it's crazy good! Really, it's brilliant Congratulations! I'll mention this series at LSG / Stormsunder Discord, hope you manage to make more partnerships and bring content for other games.

[@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283]

Thanks very much for the support, it's appreciated.

[@slickerdrips]

This series is perfect! Crystal clear, and helped massively. Thank you!!
