In this adaptation of Red Hook’s acclaimed Darkest Dungeon video game, you strive to cleanse a manor and its surroundings of all manner of evil: hordes of the undead, foul beasts and eldritch abominations... And, finally, either at death’s door or at your wit’s end, you will have to uproot evil itself from the darkest dungeon. Darkest Dungeon is a fully cooperative dungeon crawl game in which players take on the role of adventurers. Although brave and determined, adventurers are only human! They are prone to the madness and pain the twisted dwellers of the dungeons will inflict upon them. Death can occur, but is not the worst fate: heroes can be driven mad and beyond help! The game is played in campaigns of 11 missions. To reach the Darkest Dungeon itself, players will undertake 3 missions per threat level and vanquish the boss. Then, they will be strong enough and face the horrors of the Darkest Dungeon! They may emerge victorious... if they dispatch the source of evil that plagues the land. For each hero, select 3 skills out of 7 before heading into your mission (and level the heroes up to gain access to more skills). In each room, pick the most suitable stance to best resolve the conflict! Then, on each turn, a player chooses two of the available actions of moving, interacting with the environment, changing their stance or using a skill (if eligible for their current stance). Triumph over encounters, resist rampant madness and emerge victorious before throwing yourself into another battle. Between missions, spend your time in the hamlet, visiting various buildings to find relief from the physical and mental trauma you’ve just endured. Restore the hamlet to its former glory and it will reward you and help you to fulfill the ultimate goal." *Media Inquiries: rollingsologamer@**gmail.com* *Want to support the channel?

Your timing is impeccable, just when I was about to lurch into slumber, you give me another excuse to stave off sanity again! Thanks, these are a real boon for when it comes to smoothing out the learning process when the time finally comes, I really appreciate it!

[@RollingSolo]

You're welcome! I knew you wanted good dreams so I thought I'd send some your way. haha ;p

[@Frohmanski]

@@RollingSolo Hah indeed! Nothing beats being well rested from Shamblers invading ones mind all night! I noticed something that you might have gotten wrong by the way, the Cultist Brawlers pull, I beleive it's a self-pull, meaning he lunges forth, which would make sense, as that's what Rend for the Old Gods does in the videogame.

[@christopherm824]

Yes!! More Darkest Dungeon!! A few things to note in the future: -You can change the hero stances how you want when you are out of battle, so you can move the Jester around to a better spot. -The self effects of monsters affect... themselves 😂not the heroes. Just like how the Jester pushes/pulls himself lol. Saw you do this in the first turn of the first battle with the cultist brawler. P.S. The boats for the US backers are in Seattle, Washington so it's really close!!! Can't wait for mine to arrive soon!

[@RollingSolo]

Glad you enjoyed! Yes, you can choose to change stances out of battle. A nice choice when you want to do it. Hope you enjoy!

[@redshirtman1907]

With the Cultist on the first attack the arrow on the effect is pointing left so it is the Cultist that is pulled, not the Hellion. Could have saved the Plague Doctor by having the Vestal Heal him. But I suppose it was to show how deaths door works.

[@RollingSolo]

Good eye! Yes, the side benefit of the death was being able to see how death door works. Thanks for watching!

[@sebastiang.5032]

Another great video, super excited for the Hamlet phase!

[@RollingSolo]

It’s next up! 😄

[@MySqueezingArm]

*scratching veins* Can't wait for this gzme!

[@RollingSolo]

Heh heh ha! ;p

[@graygunshot739]

I would love to try this game. But from what I could find it is only available for a pledge of $300. I would love if someone can tell me that I was wrong and that I did terrible research when looking for more info.

[@MySqueezingArm]

@@graygunshot739 No, the base game was somewhere around there. The total for all content is around $550. There will be extra copies sold in their e store, and if you ask in the discord you might be able to score a 15% off coupon from a backer. (basically Mythic gave backers a 15% off discount for Darkest Dungeon products as an apology, but many backers won't use their code).

[@renatoafonsomaiacarneiro950]

This is looking really good, and can really be adapted to many systems of TTRPG's

[@RollingSolo]

Sure could!

[@KungfuTrickster]

Another great video mate. Can't wait to get my hands on this game.

[@RollingSolo]

Thanks Tom! Glad you enjoyed it 😄

[@ptantfan]

Great series so far! Thank you. Why did you reset the light level to 5? I don't see that in the rulebook anywhere.

[@RollingSolo]

Hey! Check the pinned comment. I have a mention about it there and I believe in the next video too. Good eye!

[@TreasureTrain]

CANT WAIT TO WATCH THIS TOMORROW

[@TreasureTrain]

Nvm watched it now. Can't wait to watch Hamlet!

[@RollingSolo]

😂🤣 Awesome! It’s coming up next.

[@aidanmagill6769]

Just ordered this today. Looking forward to it but daunted by the painting. Haven't painted a miniature in nearly 30 years.

[@RollingSolo]

Have fun! Take it slow and just enjoy the process. You’ll be knocking them out in no time. 😄

[@RollingSolo]

Maybe even focus on dry brushing versus full painting. Will speed things up and it’s an easy technique to tackle many minis.

[@Cryobot]

@10:18 - wouldn‘t the snake need to move into the field first? Since infuse has a range of 0…

[@RollingSolo]

Good eye! Yes indeed. Thanks for watching ;D

[@JohnHoliver]

Will there be a video about the hamlet? I was looking to understand that further. The vidros so far were great :)

[@RollingSolo]

Yes indeed! It’s coming up next. 🔥

[@OneGreenPear]

Thank you for these! Great videos. :) I have a question, when you gonna recruit new hero in Stagecoach is it going to consume those XP tokens in order for it to be at a higher level or you can choose it to be at level 1 and keep the tokens to level up other heroes. :-)

[@RollingSolo]

I’ll touch on this fully in the upcoming Hamlet Phase video!

[@Rik-Tok]

I was intimidated by the sheer table hogging…and thought the game would be a tangled pretzel of rules…but your videos convinced me to shell out top dollar for the Dungeon Pledge on eBay…

[@RollingSolo]

It's well done and it moves quickly! As you can see from this video (without rules explainations)...it just flows!

[@JohnHoliver]

U could grab it from Mythic store too, they will be offering soon. And shipping just after the wave 1 rolls out. There's a relevant update today on the campaign.

[@renatoafonsomaiacarneiro950]

14:20 Dang, it's always the ones whith blight or bleed that gets crit + Death's Door. 😆

[@RollingSolo]

🤣 Right?! Thanks for watching!

[@renatoafonsomaiacarneiro950]

@@RollingSolo No problem, loved the series and I'm loving this TTGame consept!!

[@ftomiwd]

Hi around 30-31 mins the Helion attacks two times in a row?! How so?!

[@RollingSolo]

I’d have to take a second look at this. Thanks for mentioning and watching!

[@czechvasa]

Hello, litle correction, Eldritch Push will still focus on Helion, or not? Acolyte have to move 1 space to attack from range 1, but at the start, the closest was Helion, not Plague Doctor. Still great video and i am waiting for next part of your party journey... :) BTW. "Poor Plague Doctor, ... Slowly, Gently, This Is How A Life Is Taken..."

[@RollingSolo]

Glad you’re enjoying it! I’ll have to take a look in a bit on that one. Cheers!

[@raphaelmt1706]

Are conditions removed after battles?

[@RollingSolo]

Yes! If memory serves.

[@nifarious]

Plaguuuuu!!! Sorry, wrong game.

[@RollingSolo]

🤨🤔

[@nifarious]

@@RollingSoloIt's what Korean esports casters shout when a plague is cast in Starcraft. Felt like a fitting cry of rage and mourning.

[@RollingSolo]

@@nifarious Ah! I gotcha haha ;p

[@hannahmonteiro9229]

Game's not bad and I appreciate that you're playing it, but there are times where you are just plain talking too much instead of playing. Like when you were gushing about how bad Death's Door is instead of just getting on with it and resolving it. There is explaining a rule and/or building suspense and there is overdoing it to the point where the viewer goes "Get on with it and just *roll* that die already!"

[@RollingSolo]

The first video or Part #1 is rules based and then after that I keep people in the loop on what’s happening to make sure the viewer isn’t disconnected. Things have sped up in Part #2 and will continue on! Thanks for watching.
