This seems so much more interesting than the cave in the original Vast. Much more proactive and visual. The seals are way cooler than drawing randomly from a bag. Forces you to think more, and pay more attention to the board developing. I think it might be a step up from the cave.

[@Quackalope]

I for sure think that’s the case :)

Any plans on reviewing this game? Just curious if your thoughts.

Great video. Love the production including the music and camera cuts. Really clear content. I understood how to play the manor by the end. We played other characters last night after watching your other videos. It really allowed us to get into the game and enjoy it faster over reading and interpreting printed directions. Thanks!

[@angriel]

Guys, I love your videos - keep up the good work! That said, I feel that Vast series could be a little bit more informative and even more accessible. I feel that you guys just repeat the rule book, in a more compact form. What I miss is a lot more examples of using various powers and moves (for example, I feel there should be better examples of how manor can complete it's puzzle-rituals. My friend - who didn't know Vast - watched the video with me and he didn't understand that part at all). Cheers!

[@Quackalope]

Thank you! I think your criticism is totally fair - with such a different game it’s hard to know exactly what / and how to display the actions each character has. We could have certainly showed off the seals in a different or better way :) - we are learning with each project! This should still help get people out of the rule book and to the table!!

[@adamlundquist4080]

Man, that intro music is so good!

[@Quackalope]

I am glad you like it!

[@Kindlesmith70]

I am loving this version of Vast better. I feel like the overall play styles are better implemented. Not played the previous one yet. I'm getting them both in the near future.

[@JoshuaYearsley]

Another great video, and all correct!

[@Quackalope]

This might be the best type of comment to get XD - all correct - the words a how to play video lives for.

[@Shadow850031]

There are links missing to Warlock, Shadow Paladin, and Armored Knight videos in the description.

[@yakuzablitz]

Thanks for doing the videos in 4k guys!

[@Quackalope]

100% :)

[@wingmansion]

Great quality again. Once you're done with all characters could you do a playthrough with all of them and show some interactions. I'd like to worry then :)

[@Quackalope]

We are still checking if this is possible - it can be hard to produce such a big gameplay on camera.

[@SFuruli]

I've waited so long! :P

[@Quackalope]

And the other is almost done! I lost two subscribers when it posted though :( - so tell your friends about me!

[@paulavanesveld2085]

I can be with you both forever; forever.

[@HoudiniSplicer]

I generally like the videos. Watched spider, skeletons and paladin now a they really get me excited for the game. But for the love of gods... If I hear "don't worry about it" another 100 times I am afraid I will go insane... seriously..

[@Quackalope]

:) we liked the joke - glad you liked the videos - we only said it twice or so per video (and since each video may be viewed by different people we kept it going) - All I can say is . . . don't worry about it

[@HoudiniSplicer]

@@Quackalope Fair enough xD And you have a point there, but it's just not binge watching friendly joke for me xD

[@Quackalope]

@@HoudiniSplicer I can understand that XD - I am sorry!

[@fredericleguluche3879]

You make a great job

[@Quackalope]

Thanks so much :)

[@luisvelasquez9234]

Poor fools, they have knocked on my doors in search of treasures, magic and revenge... Be welcome... enter my hallways and halls, I will soon renew my Seals and remodel every recess inside me to create a labyrinth for you... that room will seem familiar or that path may have already been traveled they will think... soon we will be together until their last breath and maybe even beyond...

[@Quackalope]

Thank you! I was waiting on this!

[@marcuscathey4170]

music is too loud, distracting.

[@Quackalope]

Hey Marcus - we appreciate the feedback :) - we certainly could have done a better job balancing the music - it’s a hard thing to do since the it stands out differently depending on where you watch it. It’s something I am constantly adjusting!

[@masterlitfam5768]

YES, the next one! also from what i heard, apparently both vast games are cross-compatible with each other. does anyone know if this is true? (edit) never-mind, read the description

[@Quackalope]

Yes - they don't mix 100% - but they can be swapped and still work (there is a section in the book showing the various setups you can run) Spider for Dragon and so forth.

[@Feldingor]

Quackalope It still amuses me thinking about a gratin lurking beneath the manor floor 😂 but still I can’t wait to try it myself... if only those EU copies would start being shipped 😒😒

[@IosifStalin2]

Fun!!
