Deep Madness | Solo Setup

Happy Halloween Rollers! What better way to kick it off than Deep Madness! Let's get this playthrough started! This video aims to show you how to setup Deep Madness created by Roger Ho and published by Diemension Games. Stay tuned for Part #1 coming soon!
The second reprint of Deep Madness is live on Kickstarter here:
www.kickstarter.com/projects/...
Music: "Deep Madness Theme" - Darkraven Europe
"In a dark and claustrophobic deep sea mining site, the uncovering of a mysterious “Sphere” is dragging everyone nearby into the endless madness. The fears deep within one’s mind are amplified and transformed into horrifying monsters from other dimensions, torturing one's body and testing their sanity. Only those with extraordinary will and conviction can escape its devastating grasp. Deep Madness is a fully cooperative board game for 1-6 players with 66 amazingly detailed miniatures, depicting a sci-fi horror world inspired by Lovecraft’s work and the Alien series. In the game, players assume the roles of investigators, venturing into the seemingly empty yet perilous deep sea mining site to find out the truth behind the lost contact event. Unimaginable horror and madness from the dark fear within is waiting."

Happy Halloween Rollers! For those of you who have played before, let me know in the comments below whether you think we should use the Prepared Team variant or try without it! Cheers! For corrections, click 'Read More'. 4:46 The 3D terrain in place is for locked hatches. Don't worry I catch and correct his during the video. 5:49 The rulebook states, "Shuffle all the devoured effect markers. Randomly reveal and place a devoured effect marker in each of the spaces of all the devoured rooms, except for the spaces that already contain the spawn markers". So first I needed to place spawn markers (red side up) as indicated in the scenario book. Then follow the quote from the rulebook above. This is easily corrected for the next video! Thanks to Mythos for pointing this out!

[@sador42]

Play easy mode! This game is brutal. Especially if you roll bad over and over. There is not much you can do if your rerolls are not successful.

[@RollingSolo]

I'll be adding the prepared team variant based on the feedback I got!

[@JohnnyLeyenda]

Ahh yes, I keep finding myself coming back to this vid. Deep Madness was my first ever Kickstarter backed (first printing back in 2016), such a shame I barely get it to the table, when setup takes 30 minutes but you can lose in less time than that it's hard to justify setting it up! Thankfully the game allows for discrete difficulty tweaking without losing flavor!

[@RollingSolo]

Exactly! It’s a very tough game but you can tweak it. Glad you enjoyed watching this!

[@krusty1796]

Fore sur if I loose in minus than 30 min I restart a new game :D . That's said during the 2 nd print the author gave 2 rules to set difficulty in the profundum rules available as pdf and one buff for the 1st scenario. 1)No devour token 2) 3 actions instead of 3

[@christianhnilicka]

Super pumped to watch this play through. I have never played the game, but based on what I hear being a little more prepared sounds like a good plan.

[@RollingSolo]

Think I’ll take your advice on being more prepared Christian ;)

[@christian_daigle]

Great! I'm on the fence for this one. This is gonna help, thanks a lot Adam!

[@RollingSolo]

Awesome! Hope it does Christian. See you there.

[@Bibo0815]

Let's go Adam! Spread out the madness. Very nice intro and outro 👍 Glad to see you picking up some suggestions and do something different with your playthrough. Looking forward to your playthrough and that epic monster, causing destruction to the investigators ;) Even if I've not played the game yet, I would suggest playing with the more Prepared Team variant. Have fun and...good luck

[@RollingSolo]

Thanks Bibo! Hope it spices things up. I think at this point it’s a given that I’m going to use the prepared team variant. I’ve only gotten feedback that says to go for it. See you there!

[@byronleavitt]

DEFINITELY use the More Prepared Team Variant. =D

[@sk-gr3nu]

In fact use All the syringes and you might get lucky 😗

[@mythosstorm6189]

Hey everyone , Byron's here !!!

[@RollingSolo]

Will do! ;D

[@jayplays4215]

Another game I'm in for $1 on KS and waffling about fully pledging! I can't wait to see this playthrough. :)

[@RollingSolo]

Hey Jay! It’ll be coming out during the Kickstarter so hopefully that should help you decide. Cheers!

[@sk-gr3nu]

An epic monster? You're either very brave or very fool my friend 😉 Edit: play the ultra prepared team variant and take all syringes for your team (I think this is an actual suggestion on bgg) 🤔

[@RollingSolo]

That is certainly the plan at this point. It’s going to be quite the battle :)

[@Saucebrunette]

Love the intro!

[@RollingSolo]

Thanks DP! :D

[@SaintWiccan]

Go as prepared as you can. Just to be on the safe side. :)

[@RollingSolo]

Will do! Cheers

[@rmclean101]

This looks great, thank you for the setup video :) Happy Halloween! p.s. Is that a thing in Canada? Same day, dress-up, candy etc etc etc?

[@RollingSolo]

Thanks for watching Ryan. Sure is! Serenity is a Flamingo by day and Nemo by night haha

[@trevorbramley5622]

Great intro Adam. I think you should balance it, I've been really excited to watch this one and I don't want it to be over too soon lol. Out of interest would that setup fit on a 4 x 4 foot table? Happy Halloween, let the madness begin!

[@RollingSolo]

Yes it would! Happy Halloween to you as well Trevor. Hope it was a good one!

[@RollingSolo]

Will also balance things for sure :)

[@SpannSr1970]

Prepared imho. But if you want a epic scary game unprepared! It is Halloween by the way!

[@RollingSolo]

Sounds good. Thanks for the feedback. I think being prepared would give us a tiny boost which may be needed. Even with that the scales are tipped against us!

[@mythosstorm6189]

Handy tip. Separate the 3 sections of the lower submerged map section it just makes it easier to see that they are not connected to each other. Looks like you never got the painted minis i sent to you. Maybe they got lost in the post lol.

[@RollingSolo]

Great tip Mythos! Ya, so weird...they never showed up... haha

[@mythosstorm6189]

Its me again Adam ( I think this is the most I have commented on a video ever lol) , it might be easier for us to see what's going on if you use the 3D spawn markers.

[@RollingSolo]

Hey Mythos! I might substitute those in for the playthrough ;)

[@mythosstorm6189]

Bit of a mistake in the set up Adam. The spawn points stay face down as they are only indications of where the monsters will appear . Face up devoured tokens are placed in the other rooms on a devoured tile that doesnt already contain a spawn point.

[@RollingSolo]

Good catch Mythos! You're right, the rulebook states "Shuffle all the devoured effect markers. Randomly reveal and place a devoured effect marker in each of the spaces of all the devoured rooms, except for the spaces that already contain the spawn markers". Something I can correct before the next Part! Cheers :)

[@RollingSolo]

Consider that added to the pinned comment Mythos. Thanks!

[@mythosstorm6189]

Rolling Solo no problem. Happy to help. Oh man, random character selection and an epic monster. This is not going to be pretty!

[@mythosstorm6189]

Great intro

[@RollingSolo]

Thanks Mythos! Was fun to do :)

[@SirReasoner]

On the fence again for this KS, i would love to see the gameplay (before the KS ends :) ). May pledge $1 and see for the future but if it is fun :)

[@RollingSolo]

SR! I will certainly have the playthrough underway during the Kickstarter campaign. Still 20 days to go! Hopefully it will help in your decision. Cheers!

[@catacombsofdespair7955]

​@@RollingSolo Yeah I am on the fence too, it's definitely something my brother and I are looking at, but we like games that has a lot of mechanical depth and brutal. From what I hear the difficulty factor is there, but interested to watch the playthroughs to see if it fills the rest of the criteria. Cheers Adam.

[@RollingSolo]

We shall see! :)

[@soulraise]

nice animation! are you the artist creating these? kudos to whoever it is! :D

[@RollingSolo]

I’m customizing, editing and putting it all together in post but another talented individual built them. :)

[@bodde1972]

Do the more prepared team ... :)

[@RollingSolo]

Seems to be the consensus so far. Thanks for the feedback!

[@MrBlahblhblah]

Play the more prepared variant, if only so this play through last longer :)

[@RollingSolo]

Thanks for the feedback! I think this would be wise. Wait! You have no trust in me? ;p

[@mythosstorm6189]

100 bucks says its over by turn 6 ha ha - Good luck!

[@RollingSolo]

That’s not what I want to hear haha

[@anderspedersen7661]

I have played some 15+ solo games by now. But I always play with a full team of 6 heroes. So it is going to be interesting to see how the dynamics hold up with only 4 heroes. I have not tried any of the epic monsters yet. So it is also going to be interesting to see how they affect the game. But I think you are going to be butchered prematurely, or run out of time...

[@RollingSolo]

Good to hear I can show off a different situation than what you’re familiar with. It’ll be fun regardless! Cheers

[@MSRLE63]

Way to big a footprint, Way too much setup for me. Lol... Hope you enjoy the play

[@RollingSolo]

It’s quite a monster hey? Glad I was able to help you either way. Cheers!
