The “Savage Worlds” of Simon of Argoston S1 Eps 8: Horror at Hundatora

[@armana1404]

The PC divide was true genius. Real ethical dilemmas with just one player! Amazing.

[@ashleyhoughton8592]

Just how the random number can turn finding a hireling into a haunted soldier that accidentally killed the leader of a paladin order and is now haunted by her ghost. I know obviously it is your creativity that connects the dots, and pulls the threads, but sometimes when you ask the question and get the extreme Yes's it's amazing.

[@Anny-me9ny]

*Trevor has an interesting and thought provoking theory that could be a nice addition to the scene* Dice: NO, NOT TODAY

[@crazyhercules9442]

The Dice Gods have spoken😂😒 Thy will be done…

[@Greyawk89]

That one cultist that tries to set on fire a inn which is about to get hit by a huge wave... I mean... I find his commitment to do his job quite admirable... "Employee of the Month" for sure.

[@yersiniad.7028]

I love watching your show! The pacing and the fast cuts make this show soooo much more watchable and enjoyable than any other show I know of. And of course it helps a lot that the players and the gamemaster are so charismatic and likeable. ;-) The energy you are showing pops right out of the screen!

[@patrickbonier327]

Enjoying the hell out of these episodes! I'm a long time Mythic user (I have all of the Mythic books) and you have a great facility for interpreting the keywords. Your roleplaying is a true inspiration. I have found that I feel a little weird when I am doing dialogue with myself, but you have inspired me to try something similar to what you are doing. I will pretend that I am telling the story to someone else, and I think that will make it all seem a bit less strange. BTW, Tana (nee Tom) Pigeon has seen the episodes and she has said that she thinks "they're amazing." I concur.

[@anixara9]

Simon's brand of bad luck compliments mine in too many scary ways. I'm routing for this protagonist, I just hope nothing horrible happens to him and Edbert. *begins episode*

[@ashleyhoughton8592]

When the dice go the right way (the ghosts extreme yes on the order, and the orc chief turning up in due need) it's amazing to watch.

[@MetalRhino42]

Gives new meaning to the sea being a harsh mistress with that goddess

[@Gamarishi]

What a twist of events! In this episode Simon didn't get his butt kicked, he is getting better hahahaha

[@C0ZMICWIZARD]

This is simply incredible content. This is what KZbin was made for.

[@zellfs]

now every monday night i keep waiting for a new chapter of this story

[@bizzy5439]

Ik I'm late to this, but I've been trying to get into solo RP for a while but no matter how many instructional videos on it I watch I couldn't seem to get a grip on how to actually DO it. Your videos have really opened my eyes to the possibilities and made it extremely entertaining! I have to keep watching but I hope Simon and Edbert find a way back to each other with Arn! Thank you so much for making these, it's incredible work, esp for one guy

[@alejotm000]

This was probably the best episode so far, love the world building. I hope someone is taking notes and transcribing all of Simon's adventures, it would make a great book!

[@nigelhobbs5396]

It would be even better if Trevor released as an audible book with him doing the voices.

[@BlackVulmea]

Wait, that was 34 minutes?! It felt like ten! Love the goddess of storms cult, love the haunted warrior - you're using the Mythic tools very well. Fun to watch!

[@destinorol]

The description of the butchery was as disgusting as appropriate for the Halloween episode 🎃. Very nice episode, Trevor 👌

[@kiddith]

Incredible episode. I have now purchased the gm emulator as well as savage world because of your amazing production. Now everytime you pull out a book i am writing them down for future purchases. I would love to see you run a group game at some point if you could add it to your to do list! Your energy is infectious.

[@nigelhobbs5396]

Have to admit it would be great to see Trevor run a game. however long it would be it would be too short.

[@TheyDarthElmo]

It's crazy rewatching this episode and seeing all the lore we learn in this episode that would have seasons long implications.

[@georgeakritidis6941]

What a great episode! I know I'm behind a few, but oh boy, the story keeps me on my toes.

[@samsolitaryroll]

The idea that the cult is actually connected to the Necromancer is, actually, pretty valid. The rise up are happening around the same time the barrier completed. The dice has to say otherwise tho...

[@Discordie]

I think it says a lot about the region that there are so many religious/cult organizations about... with most (if not all) tending towards violence, it seems. I would guess that at one point in the not too distant past, there was an influx of people with an entirely different pantheon or beliefs... Leading to a significant culture clash in the country. The sea god, Morghus and whatever god/dess the Order of the Purifying Flame worship belonged to one group's pantheon, and the storm goddess Devona and the necromantic god/dess who was being worshiped at the ruined temple belonged to another group's pantheon.

[@MrDowntemp0]

I love have flexible using these systems is. It didn't look too difficult to make the next chapter a horror one in the middle of all the other random threads. But on top of that, it's great to see threads tie up with earlier events. I mean, of course Arn would be in the tavern Simon had been in earlier, because he's on his train.

[@RoyBlumenthal]

That's uncanny! As you talked about the horse, and the thunder, and the screaming, it was as if I could actually HEAR the sounds!!!

[@Mr_Crumbly]

Just for clarification, a charnel house is one associated with death, whereas a carnal house is one Simon hopes to have knowledge of before he dies. Another excellent episode Trevor.

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

Hah!

[@hujands]

OMG!! This gets better and better. Great entertainment Trevor!!

[@ThredithUndomiel]

Another great episode! I can't wait to see what happens on EP. 9!

[@grassypond]

Cherilyn being the Ex-Leader of The Purifying Flame makes her definitively the most competent and experienced member of the group. We already knew that, but her previous life certainly explains why.

[@OGNoNameNobody]

The _TRUE_ Horror of this episode....is it's length! I would have loved it three times as much if it was twice as long!!

[@Gerod253]

I can’t believe I’m only finding these today. Binge listening while getting work done and sheltering in place. Well done!

[@tiantuatara]

Rewatching these, just for grins. It's great to visit these characters that are now old friends. I'm planning on doing a solo Mythic campaign, just thinking about my character and the world a bit.

[@RPG_Bliss]

Idk how we got here. But we are here baby!!

[@brenomozan4634]

I'm happy to have discovered this gem! Great show!

[@ladybunkim7342]

Just started binging this series! A better name at this point would be “Simon Has a Bad Time”

[@nosleepinsomnia]

Man, this was the most epic one so far ... definitely binging this!

[@Zakvasir]

Christ this is good

[@FredericZolnet]

You are really good at this. Such a joy to watch! Thank you.

[@valterink8997]

Just started this series, best episode yet, that ending was outstanding! I like the scene rundown segment, missed it this time, but I hope they appear in next episodes!

[@CovildoNarrador]

Okay, now THIS is the best episode EVER (so far). Thanks for existing! It's been amazing to watch your videos!

[@upsidely]

Running 3xweekly games and this has got me solo playing again too XD You deserve AT LEAST 10k subs

[@mina-yu3ip]

i know im super late to the party but i just have to say. the way you seamlessly combine storytelling, combat and worldbuilding, and make everything make sense is absolutely amazing to me!! currently trying to catch up on your work bc i love it!! Thank you for inspiring me to start my own solo campaign!! I created a Catfolk Rogue and so far, kind of like Simon up until this point, she seems to be thoroughly unable to catch a break haha! Anyway, thanks for this entertaining and inspiring show!!! :D

[@ChrisC0921]

Great Episode!

[@musingsofmessa]

Dang, Trevor. Edbert's anger tells me to never refuse a crazy Irish NPC that sees ghosts. 😄 Your improvisation skills are super awesome. I listen to MMD when I'm writing out character sheets (no printer 😅) or playing solo. Keep up the good work! Here's a star for inspiration: 😊 ☀

[@robinhampton3218]

Aaargh! Cliffhanger! Must watch next show! Must do it now!

[@cloverraven]

I screamed to myself in the car when I found out the ghosts past life

[@matthewpahnke2613]

Another fantastic episode!

[@mikeburk6504]

Another great episode!!

[@austinjimenez6580]

Hot damn this got juicy! Knowing Simon and his morals,also his luck, he'll go try to save his own arch enemy

[@Grilled_Burger]

Rip north, I was really hoping that north would become that one ally that the main character knows that can get his hands on anything and knows a lot of the world, being a merchant and all that makes sense to me. To bad, love how chaotic this series is so far, I can only assume it gets crazier and crazier!

[@KookieMonstrMan]

32:31 OH MY GOD what if Arn is actually Simon's father, bounty hunting to finance his studies on that temple and find someone who can save his wife!

[@monomakes]

These are magic!

[@nwren4637]

So good!

[@romulocamargo9745]

Great! I'm having a lot of fun watching this amazing serie!

[@M1G4L]

Wow. Awesome.

[@gegegebebebe5087]

Watching your series the second time because I can't wait for episode 2 starting, realizing: Either you cut much in your videos or your dice love the way you tell stories because they nearly always fit on point. Hahaha (= Love your show, awaiting episode 2

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

Close - I tell the stories that the dice reveal. Never the other way round :) Glad you’re liking it and thanks for watching!

[@joshuastrickland5264]

I really like the show, it is great for deliveries.

[@clydesdale4437]

Loving the show! Out of curiosity, how much time do you have to spend recording to get the 30-40 minutes of footage for an episode?

[@trevordevall2773]

It averages about 40 minutes of finished footage to about 1 hr of raw. So I actually use most of it 🙂

[@fitzgeraldlimisella4393]

I was wondering about the same thing. So thanks for asking and thanks for answering, Trevor!

[@israelbsandoval]

I am hooked! What happens?!

[@boltimuss]

Ok now. Be truthful do you edit these videos to create a cliffhanger every time? Lol. You do a great job! I just came upon these videos. I use them to inspire me to play when I get too lazy ;)

[@ricardo.mazeto]

I was lucky to find suck a great execution of solo RPG to learn from. The interesting thing is that the story plot unfolding from all those questions, dice rolls and tables is much more interesting and intricate than a story pre-written by the DM, which we all know, players always find a way to mess up. It keeps on giving, I feel like this method always delivers. Thanks for putting it out. I'm loving it.

[@LoneDiceGuy]

Amazing episode!!

[@BiggelsworthBoi]

I audibly gasped at the corpse reveal 😵🥵

[@Jeremiah_Deadline]

I Absolutely Enjoy Edbert & Cherilyn because Cherilyn seems to Attach Herself to Him for Him to Atone & Protect Him, from the Knowledge of She knows of, as She Knows that Edbert has the Qualities to Make it Right and The Knowledge that She needs to Make a Balance Between Each Side, in Some type of way. R.I.P "Mummy". 🙃 Alright, Have a nice time. 🌷

[@IzABub]

I'd love to see you pendragon as like an episode one off. Also, you influenced my style of Journaling for solo ttrpg

[@miguelsalgueiro7429]

Amazing! Congrats! What do you do if the 1st NPC Negative was Mord, the Orc? :)

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

I'd figure it out in the moment, as always! ;)

[@TheAshrole]

Where'd ye get the inspiration for the Irish-type guy? He's just wonderful...

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

;)

[@rorydoconnor]

@@MeMyselfandDieRPG As an Irishman myself (with a very different accent), this is one of the few accents I've heard a non-native speaker perform that doesn't make me gag. Your accent has a hint of Colin Farrell about it. :D

[@paavohirn3728]

Fantastic idea to go for the horror theme! I'm afraid it might be Simon bringing horrid juju wherever he goes 👻

[@NiallMor]

Holy moly! What a place to end the episode! Question: Where are you getting the names of the deities for this world? Making them up? Books of Random Tables, Perilous Wilds, or some other supplement? Thanks!

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

A combination of all those :)

[@JianjiPeppina]

Wow!!! Best episode

[@gegegebebebe5087]

This is only Episode 8 and I still have much in front of me...but I already know that the last scene was uploaded on 22. February...is there going to be a Season 2?

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

👍🏻

[@JarethDuLac]

Giant tidal wave incoming. Yeah, I'd say that is pretty NPC negative. 😂 Also, I was not expecting that dark turn. Poor North. 😳

[@blindedtrooper]

Hey trevor! Awesome show as ever! Im loving it! I have one question: What's the kind of binder you're using for your books? Im trying to figure it out but its hard to see

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

Oh, they’re just basic dollar store variety binders and duo tangs, nothing special. Had them for years.

[@blindedtrooper]

@@MeMyselfandDieRPG Ohh now it's easy to find them! Thanks for the super quick answer!

[@brunovalencia408]

👏👏👏

[@fanimation617]

NOOOOOOO, NORTH WAS FRIDGED

[@joshwinter9450]

I have some questions. How much are you enjoying this? Would you still be doing this if you weren't putting it on KZbin? My main reason for asking is that I want to give this a shot and I am not sure if it will be that enjoyable playing by myself.

[@coreymayo8321]

Trevor, you inspired me to follow in your footsteps, using the same exact tools you do. I ran my first two scenes last night and posted a session report here if anyone is interested: boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/262297/item/7290549#item7290549

[@BlakeBilderback]

I found a preview of the next episode: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGGVoHWvaZJ7brc Awesome show! Can't wait for the next one!

[@RedwoodRhiadra]

It's "charnelhouse" with a "church" sound. A "carnal house" would be more... pornographic.

[@patrickmulder2450]

Is it me or does Simon start sounding more like Sean Connery with every episode?

[@johnfrancis3203]

Not happy that North died but better North then Mord. I woulda actually screamed if Mord died. Still. Simon has so few friends that I hate that North died. Also. Simon really needs to unbreak all the mirrors or something. Dude is not lucky *edit* Also Tidal wave of death. Tidal Wave of Death. Sounds loco *edit 2* Oh no. Another loss of a friend???? SIMON NOOO *edit 3* Waittttt! Arnnn????? *edit 4* Wait. A DIVIDE OF ALLIES BECAUSE OF ARN???? OH NO! *edit 5* He should get a Benny for throwing caution to the wind and helping Edbar, which would also show him to be a good person like Arn heard.

[@Reckoner68]

It only makes me a little sad that I'm three-years late to put my vote in for the crossbow name, dang!

[@TheBayru]

When he asked that my first thought was "Deaths' Reckoning", so funny to see your username. XD

[@jessquinn6106]

It's been 3 years since this Simon Series was posted. So why have we not seen this as an animated series yet? I mean, despite some of the awkwardness, it's a damn great ORIGINAL story.

[@MeMyselfandDieRPG]

It’s “awkward”...? First time I’ve heard *that* particular descriptor...

[@juhorutila5411]

Did you roll your first double (66) when asking a question about the character before the scene? Ohh.. what a waste!
