"Questing Beast" Reviews The Shucked Oyster

[@TheArcaneLibrary]

Cheers, you guys! Hahahaaaa, a spot-on impersonation. Well done on the Shucked Oyster!

[@blacklodgegames]

Thanks Kelsey! And thank you again for backing it, we are almost in the top 20 on DriveThru right now!

[@QuestingBeast]

Well this sure saves me a lot of time.

Well well well if it isn't Mr. Hands himself

[@agilemonk6305]

Nice one, Ben. ❤

[@Barquevious_Jackson]

The hand movements and mode of speaking are so on point. Excellent commitment to the bit.

[@DiscoBarbarian]

This is the BEST Questing Beast review I've ever seen.

[@FelixGWilliams]

Ginger Frasier watching over 9000 hours of Questing Beast content over Christmas to nail the impression.

[@aesculetum]

freaking theatre kid! now they are rping even yt reviewers!

For the algorithm. Best RP channel on the platform, easily. Never stop!

[@blacklodgegames]

@@MeForWords thank you!

[@Ishpeck]

I came for the dig on Ben and stayed for the actually coherent description of this module. Significantly more tempted to buy than I was before I started the vid.

[@blacklodgegames]

Do it, obviously. But mentioning another youtuber is rorschach test.

[@DeadMarsh]

You guys were robbed on the awards!…there was absolutely bro bias going on. Amazing art and production value, Layout that’s even consistent with SD, a chaos generator. It’s a no brainer. Stop the steal! Also, I wasn’t distracted during the review by a finger begging to be amputated.

[@richardpc7097]

😂 That’s horrible!

[@israelmorales4249]

wooooow! this is another level of trolling....and entretaining! You missed the ring, cutting off circulation to your fingers. Congrats on this sucess!

[@blacklodgegames]

It's not trolling though!

[@israelmorales4249]

@@blacklodgegames I can see it now. It was a very accurate homage. But I found it quite funny and entretaining

[@Phred1994]

The constant get gentle gesticulations that don’t QUITE match the audio is perfect

[@JackMcCarthyWriter]

To be fair to Ben, if his reviews are this detailed and effort-intensive, i understand why he charges for them.

[@blacklodgegames]

I don't know if he actually charges for reviews, but I 100% agree. Reviewing things takes a lot of time and effort and you are paying for that time, effort, and perspective.

[@ajaxplunkett5115]

@@blacklodgegames Ben Milton has admitted he charges for reviews.- most famously being outed for the ShadowDark rpg.

[@blacklodgegames]

@ajaxplunkett5115 I am 100% ok with this. He's a critic, and people are paying him for his honest opinion. It takes time and resources to review things.

[@QuestingBeast]

@@ajaxplunkett5115 I don't charge for any reviews, except for a couple kickstarter previews...in which case I always clearly state in the video that I was paid for it.

[@ajaxplunkett5115]

@@QuestingBeast A similar but fair distinction to take Note on.- Sorry for my confusion. I suppose the Real distinction to be made is the Seth Skorkowsky explanation of the types of " Reviews" 1- Overviews that page turn the product but may not of been read in it's entirety. 2- The Read Review that has been read but not played at all 3- The Real review ( that takes longer to achieve ) that has been Read and Play Tested . I wish more YT reviewers would label such distinctions.

This walk thru is hugely helpful. Thanks!

Thank you for the review, Trekking Creature 👍

God, this is perfect.

[@phildavies9893]

Almost a perfect impersonation. Need that super tight wedding band to complete the hand costume.

[@George713M]

You sound just like him in this video!

[@ChrisChapmanIAm]

Ok, top marks for emulating Ben's style really well, and of course congrats on getting this published (I'm a backer!). It'd be really cool to see some follow-up vids on how the rules work in practice, like how did your playtests go? What did you learn along the way? What changed? Why?

[@blacklodgegames]

@@ChrisChapmanIAm there are some really funny stories that came out of this.

[@juauke]

Great read-through! I love the "Questing Beast" format Please do this with all your products!

[@xxTerraPrimexx]

This just looks cool, shall pick it up after payday I think. Also having the names be linked in the PDF is really cool and I wish more creators do this.

[@aaronabel4756]

I always prefer an in depth, passionate overview of a product by it's creator to an infomercial.

[@Buzzerker_1775]

I had a blast reading the pdf. Thanks for the review, Ben

OMG! ❤! And I'm waiting on my printed, I don't care about pdfs. Well I'm sure after reading this I might decide when I want the Oyster to burn down instead of rolling for it, depending on my whims for the P.C.s.

[@angryman2406]

Amazing!

[@atlasdm]

You forgot to shit on your backers! This impersonation is terrible! lmao! Love you guys!

[@GodOfMoxie]

lol amazing acting, love the voice and hands.

[@DJANGO-FakeShaman]

actually it does make great sense for the creater to review the book, after all he made it so he has alot of useful ideas for it, and alot of valuable things to add to it

[@blacklodgegames]

Agreed. I think it's good for creators to show why they are excited about their own books. That being said, we are always looking for KZbinrs willing to give their own take on our material

[@R0bstar-YT]

You sure got purty hands.

apologies, not trying to spam you about reviews, didn't see this was a second comment by you lol. carry on

[@dfurey9446]

I’ll leave a review, just gonna have a hard time selling this with group, have a person or two who will balk at prostitution and adult themes. Tired of this kiddie game stuff. The mere mention of a more “adult” game got me shut down. I explained that I meant more along the game of thrones line, not pornography. We will see. May have to start my own sessions.

[@blacklodgegames]

@@dfurey9446 easy to reskin as a casino

[@finncullen]

This looks amazing - will pick it up asap. A tiny note though on Madam Vise's page, I think she has a "chaise longue" (a long chair) not a "chez lounge" ("at the home of the lounge"). Picky I know and I'm sorry but it hit me like a thorn in the eye. The product and advice look amazing and you've just picked up a new subscriber (albeit a pedantic one).

[@blacklodgegames]

Impression so good I had to set playback speed to 2x like any other QB review. Jokes aside this was both fun and informative!

[@yagsipcc287]

I can't wait for my POD copy to come ordering it later in the month with several other things coming through from KS projects. Also have Adventures, Dark and Deep 2th Ed on that list and one or two things from Chubby Funster. (Three great creators in my mind) Have the PDF of this but having a physical copy is just something that can't be beaten in my eyes.

[@splitirisbear4589]

I probably just missed it but is there just a pdf version that I can buy?

[@blacklodgegames]

Yes, there is an issue on drivethru being sorted out right now by support (PDF version got deactivated somehow). So the PDF should be back up at the drivethru link in the next day or two. It's frustrating

[@blacklodgegames]

PDF version is back up for sale!

The hand gestures were spot on. Could have improved matching is funny vocal pauses. The next syllable is almost always at 2x speed. Well done.

"Couldn't afford Questing Beast, hired two hands instead." Lol :) Very interesting and good looking book! "Appendack S" very clever!

[@userrrfriendly1908]

After skimming the PDF for a couple of hours during the weekend I decided to shove the Shucked Oyster in my Warhammer fantasy campaign, obviously I'll have to throw away around 70% of the book because it doesn't fit the setting, but the 30% that is going in is sooooo juicy

This is fantastic.

[@CooperativeWaffles]

Is the Hamlet of Otari large enough for the Shucked Oyster? If I find the funds, I am considering having the brothel move in from Absalom and build over the remnants of the former Pathfinder Society's tavern.

[@blacklodgegames]

Not familiar with the Hamlet, but we wrote it with a small town in mind

[@blacklodgegames]

Most of the NPCs don't live directly "in town" so they can be from the surrounding area

How hard would it be to use this with the OSE/Dolmenwood system? I'm mainly concerned about the Carousing and magic items. Shadowdark is cool and I've played a lot of it, but I've grown to prefer OSE/Dolmenwood lately👐

lmao honestly ben milton made some great stuff as rpg goes but I can't stand his reviews... ..for the simple fact that they aren't reviews. He simply flips through the pages and read paragraphs title. That's not a review. A review is someone actually reading and preparing a module, then running it, then telling the audience what they actually think of it, what works and what doesnt and how to fix it maybe. Like seth skorkowsky does, for example.
