Let's Play - Kingdom Death: Monster [Lantern Year Eleven]

[@heckhoundbolt8574]

“This is the best Lion hunt we have ever had!” -Famous Last Words

[@RanMouri82]

"Don't we bury her respectfully?" You have much to learn, young padawan.

[@Ajehy]

Truly, a worthy substitute for Warren-a voice of kindness and sanity.

[@nuadhufireheart]

Kingdom Death is love, Kingdom Death is life. Playing through my first ever campaign at present.

[@Ajehy]

That’s…not the descriptors I would use. It is awesome, though

[@BoiledEgg74]

Sad to see Warren missing, but Sam is a worthy replacement! LOVE this segment. DDR is an incredible podcast, btw.

[@ARescueToaster]

I have to say, this game is consistently, incredibly climactic. Even "trivial" fights can be brutal life or death fights. I don't want to spoil the outcome of this with a careless comment, but, I just wanted to say that it was incredibly thrilling. Honestly, I need to stop watching these as it makes me want to buy the game, BUT I CAN'T HELP IT! D:

[@invin7215]

Sam is awesome. This series is awesome. Thanks for making it.

[@ChinhTran-me2om]

You guys should 1. try not to attack the Lion from the front, so you won't suffer Grab on the reaction that causes the Lion to full move forward. 2. consider using Dash to avoid Cunning. (There's a Survival opportunity on the Cunning card.)

[@markalexandermaron5531]

I certainly miss warren's jolly enthusiasm in this video.

[@HELLFIRExxIFRIT]

Chris, you look like you went Super Saiyan and I love it.

[@DarkerDaysRadio]

AS it grows out it changes from faux hawk to super saiyan. Shame I didn't back to get those minis ;_;

[@HELLFIRExxIFRIT]

Darker Days Radio, what minis??? O.o

[@DarkerDaysRadio]

The Super Survivors set. My wallet was going to die otherwise.

[@HELLFIRExxIFRIT]

Darker Days Radio, yeah I just bought Dragon King, Lion Knight, Flower Knight, and Slenderman.. that hurt my wallet something fierce... Loooved the Lion Knight though. Very scared of Slenderman...

[@HELLFIRExxIFRIT]

Also, I just finished the video. I love your paint scheme for the Dung Beetle Knight, really unique from the bright green colors I usually see. Also I hate you, I couldn't get the Dung Beetle Knight.

[@DarkerDaysRadio]

Obviously forgive any mistakes. There is one or two in the next lantern year as it had been a while since i used the Beetle. But at least you know what not to do! And the same with a later fight. Also next block of videos we record will use some new tokens to help track some more things, because tracking survival actions is getting hard, especially when a new player joins. But glad people like the video!

[@josephpalmer271]

don't care about the mistakes personally, just make more episodes as quick as you can! this my fave game you all play!

[@ostrowulf]

Agreed, I am always pleasantly surprised when I see one of these videos have been uploaded.

[@ostrowulf]

Though you should have named the stone Rock Lobster. That would leave all sorts of room for battle songs.

[@whennerdsgobad]

Chris don't worry. Keep it up. This series is awsome. Regarding mistakes, I did not spot anything this round.

[@raphaelperry8159]

When we see them I wouldn't mind knowing where the tokens came from as there's quite a few different options.

[@HistoricalConflict]

“Awe look at the crab spider” Me: smashes it under my foot

[@Vagenlitefoot]

I like Bob the Boulder, I feel he's going to bring something special to the team.

[@Ajehy]

He really rocks

[@MathimCaim]

I like how you are so thoroughly when it comes to counting what you need to wound on against Toughness or what you need to hit with your Accuracy, however when it comes to everything else you miss things. First is smaller in the Hunt, you did Overwhelming Darkness and had one character that just had gotten 3+ Courage to do Path of the Brave, but you still rolled him as Insane (it's not against the rule though since I think you get to choose which one to do then). Could be important though since I think it was the character that rolled a Lantern 10, so the effect could have been even better than what you got on the Path of the Insane. The bigger thing I felt was Vicious Claw at around 1:10:39. You had just severed his Strange Hand giving him the Lost Hand persistant injury, but you didn't even check that part, which would have given the person infront (Sam) +1 understanding and ignored the AI card completely. That same character would then have stood up since he was knocked down during the Survivor's turn from a Hit Location, but you left him down for one additional round. There are other things that could have helped, but too complicated to explain.

[@ARescueToaster]

I agree that they tend to miss the little things, particularly in the excitement of the moment, and it can be strangely frustrating.. I say "strangely" because this is a game that THEY are playing, though, I just think that goes to show how absorbing this game can be!

[@SithDuckTTV]

Just noticed, When you hit the WL, using the Counterweighted axe, you rolled 2 perfect hits. According to the wpn's special rule you didnt need to roll for wound, so you wouldve killed the lion anywho. (you did the rolls and wounded it) So outcome was the same, just remember that fantastic special rule that axe has. Its one of the best weapons in the game due to that

[@LuisLopezOni]

Very Happy to see this video series come back

[@lockjaw467]

-No survivors were harmed in the making of this video-

[@timpavey3979]

Love the paint job on the new minis at the end of the vid. Does Hannibal get a surname due to ‘Family’? How about Lectern? A combination of Lecter and Lantern...

[@TimeSlayer3]

YES!!!! Watching this with high priority, it's so good!

[@onkelzorni8320]

Wohoo! Great to see this coming back

[@raphaelperry8159]

Wait, you're using expansions now? You might want to include the Flower Knight as well because it ties into the lore of the Dung Beetle Knight.

[@everittil]

Yay! Been waiting for more KDM!

[@a.m.studios7405]

very happy to see this back on. Chris looked liked he want to strangle Justin when he said he wanted to buy 3 scrap swords. heh

[@crimsonsun2000]

Really glad to see these going up again will look forwards to your exploits. I'm gearing up for a run with the Lion God in my campaign to see how I fair. You mention the beetle below are you adding any other expansions? What are your thoughts on 1.5 compared to 1.3/4?

[@CaldDesheft]

Yes!!! Been waiting for more of these.

[@jonstrike8875]

Absolutely awesome series, only videos on KZbin I subscribe to. Not sure what I'm going to do when ly12 drops, not fought dbk yet and not sure I want to spoil anything. Don't take to long for ly13-i may skip 12 😀🤘👍

[@JasonSetley]

Best series ever. Bring on the Dung

[@sebastiang.5032]

Aways nice to see another KDM upload, even if it's somehow always the Lion being hunted. ..

[@DarkerDaysRadio]

It is level 2, and also we needed to ease Sam into the game. A lot less lion stuff in the next few fights.

[@RanMouri82]

@@DarkerDaysRadio A year late, but I love it when you fight a lion because there's always a chance you'll destroy its fuzzy groin! lol

[@corwinschuerch6691]

I'm sort of annoyed at how sometimes small details are left out.... like Eve dying in childbirth last time around.

[@bryanbowerman9580]

At 1:10:40 the lion shouldn’t have performed vicious claw as you just cut off its hand and suffered the lost hand persistent injury

[@ruindavidson901]

No Warren :(

[@nalatherose1433]

Didn’t even die in childbirth the previous year

[@Derinma]

1:41:16 my heart pounced

[@amorbavian]

Circular cycle, is that the opposite of the well known rectangular cycle? :P

[@RanMouri82]

Wow, Overwhelming Darkness worked out pretty well for them! How often does that happen?

[@logancollins6392]

The pet Boulder is new Warren lol

[@cartoon80s90s]

Loved the episode. I hope you are all back in the next one. My experience with this game is very limited, but is it just me or is that Club an awful weapon? It requires both the attack and movement action which means positioning yourself to hit with it is almost impossible without spending Survival, and Survival is better spent for other things. Despite that you got a lucky win at the end. If that last attack from the Lion had hit anywhere else it would probably be a TPK.

[@DarkerDaysRadio]

The club, combined with mastery becomes a beast.

[@crimsonsun2000]

That club is actually really well made because clumbersome keeps it in line early on with such high strength but later on you can bypass its negatives with Armour set abilities, dashing, surging and clever monster control with its high strength which combines with lantern armour its one of the few weapons that's still valid in the end game.

[@phulcrum1984]

Yes! More!

[@DarkJingraves]

I love this game

[@BunnyStomper3000]

A crit is a crit, doesn't matter what your luck is at.

[@Bakamoichigei]

No. A survivor with -1 Luck, or attacking a monster that has +1 Luck, can only crit on an 11 or higher. (i.e. they can't.) That's literally what Luck is for; determining the critical hit threshold. *Source:* Official KDM Site FAQ. _"If a monster has 1 luck, then a survivor will have to have 1 or more luck for critically wounding to be possible."_ (The flipside however, is that I believe the book says a survivor's attack/wound roll of 1 is _always_ a failure. Chalk it up to _Rule of Death._ 💀)

[@joeschmoe4622]

Didn't Eve die in LY10? In child birth?

[@amorbavian]

I wish I could get this game with all the minis assembled and painted. Anyone? :)

[@Autaris]

Didnt eve die in child birth at the end of lantern year 10?

[@RossoCarne]

No Warren! Best episode ever and I'm only 15 seconds in!

[@Sajatzsiraf]

#wewantmore

[@Mustard0981]

WHAT THEY UPLOADED

[@Beretta249]

So you sent out a ringer to ride herd on a collection of noobs and they got butchered. Didn't seem like a bad plan to begin with?

[@JustSumGuy]

Did the new guy even watch the first vid in this series lol

[@SithDuckTTV]

Yes yes yes yes! "Wife make some popcorn and bring me a cold one" it's time to watch mayhem and destruction!

[@SithDuckTTV]

And been playing 1.5 since it came to us backers last year. Love it!

[@amorbavian]

Damn, when these guys who have played it before play this slow I imagine playing this game as a beginner is slooooooww

[@ChrisHandley_dr_ether]

amorbavian to be fair Sam has never played so it is important to ease him in.

[@amorbavian]

Yea, I know. I guess it also feels slower watching it than actually playing it. When I play I do not normally mind long games and discussions.

[@amorbavian]

Btw, I think you forgot to give a surname to those survivors involved in the Intimacy/Family thing.
