RENEGADE Playthrough - PART 3

[@Saio89]

Wow there are some really deep strategies it seems you can employ in this game. I can't wait to get my hands on it!

[@isaacthimbleby8926]

Some really good ideas here, although I'm surprised to see roll to resolve dice combat!

[@BoxofDelights]

Yes, the idea is you are never really sure if the infection is enough or if the countermeasures' resistance is too high.... dice seemed to fit nicely! But for sure, it's one area I was sure would attract some but put off others. Call it 'designer's whim' !

[@tpa3437]

The mechanics make me think of Mage Knight + Pandemic.

[@BoxofDelights]

that's a perfect description !

[@tpa3437]

Have a lot of questions but get the general idea. Have to say tho the ghosting part was a bit hard on the brain for a first playthrought XD.

[@BoxofDelights]

It was. I will do another playthrough with a less advanced cgatsctrr

[@BoxofDelights]

Cgatsctrr?! My keyboard got hacked. I meant 'profile'

[@warlord76i]

There should be included a ghost avatar token in the game. Makes more easy visually to think trough the situation. IMHO

[@BoxofDelights]

It's a nice idea. But we wouldn't want to take away the challenge ! haha!

Ok first loving the infection action. bringing some variability to a game in a way that you can mitigate it yet provides uncertainty is just perfect. i noticed in this part there was not a ton of card purchases and it got me thinking, is the hack shack tier based or is it all random. with only 4 cards to purchase will you ever feel like you can't but anything and the hack shack won't refresh until 3 turns? so far that did not seem the case but I thought i would ask!

[@BoxofDelights]

It's not tiered, but random. But, this is the value of Digital Tattoo - it lets you refresh the Hack Shack as a free "ALSO" action ; the Bar also refreshes at the end of each cycle, and refills at the end of each round. So yes, there can be times when the advanced commands aren't working for you, and you have to change your plans (kinda like Mage Knight!).

[@OneStopCoopShop]

sweeeet!!! you also mentioned right at the beginning of the next vid that you could have planned better for the actions on the backside of the countermeasure card. can you look to see what will happen if you win or fail or is it note in the spirit of the game not to look.

[@BoxofDelights]

No looking. But, you will learn!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

got it!! Yeah i probably will learn these as i plan to play this a ton when i get it. Just so much to think about!!!

[@BoxofDelights]

You fancy a review copy to demo? message me if you think you can do something with it: [e-mail]

[@winterzee]

Has a rulebook for this been published anywhere?

[@BoxofDelights]

Not yet ... soon though ;)

[@winterzee]

I'll keep an out. I've been enjoying your run throughs, but think the rules might help me follow it just a bit better. (I been looking forward to this since I saw your initial designer diaries for it.)
