Love the opening shots in this video. You can really tell that the printed rule book is of a really high quality. Also, thanks for working with me on the 24-hour challenge. It was a blast.

[@CronosVids]

That building montage was so amazing. The music made it fun to watch and felt so energetic. I could watch those for hours.

[@TheProtagonist7]

Here's my game about biblical torment... anyways.... upbeat 80's rocky montage! Loved it

[@Khether0001]

Serious Congratulations, man! Publishing a book like that is no small feat!!!

[@crapparc]

Slowly but surely this is becoming an Idols of Torment commercial channel. But you know what? I don't even mind (that much) thanks to the sheer amount of value your builds/tutorials give.

[@hmgirlpopuri5819]

Helped out some friends putting out an indy RPG many years ago and there's nothing quite like cracking open that first copy of the book and smelling the paper and knowing your work is out there for people to enjoy. Great job and congratulations, Jeremy!

[@anastasiasholeinthehollerc8697]

Today I introduced my husband to your channel and he picked this video to watch first. He is so pumped with the possibilities of things he can do in his gaming. I just thought you'd get a kick out of knowing you were a huge inspiration. Thanks for all you do and congratulations on your book.

[@JeffDrennen]

Jeremy I've never seen you this excited since you announced this project. Congratulations on a successful launch. Unfortunately I couldn't back it but I will pick it up when it's available to the public. Once again congratulations To you and your team I'm happy for you.

[@VelourYeti]

Jeremy, my dude! I'm glad you're feeling better and that your vision has come to fruition! This is just the beginning for Idols of Torment and I can't wait to see where it is five years from now! Congrats, man!

[@och70]

Whoever did that opening voiceover is giving me some serious Christopher Lee LOTR vibes. Well done!

[@Miniac]

That book is beautiful, Jeremy! It's super encouraging to see someone tackle a new thing for the first time and create such a high quality product. Are you planning any expansions for the game? Or maybe slingin' the IP over to an RPG setting, etc.?

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Yup, we are planning on the next expansion already 😀

[@artistpoet5253]

It is always so cool to see a creator geek out on their work and while I'm not into the theme and setting, I can appreciate the beauty of the results. Congratulations on a job well done and on it's way to happy collectors.

[@TheLaensman]

The book looks Amazing! Watching this on a early Friday morning before work, seeing the build and hearing that upbeat music really got me pumped to build something similar this weekend

[@Paranormal-Stupidity]

Wow. Your book and game look amazing. Not to mention how awesome your terrain looks. I've always been amazed with your ability to make foam look like stone. I really can't wait to have a game, and to see it gain the popularity it deserves. Great work, and thanks for sharing!

[@mancheckitout]

This is one of your epic builds! Look at how far you’ve come from your very first video! Your game book looks awesome! Amazing!

[@steampunk8036]

Congratulations on the completion of your book, brother! I don’t think I’ve ever seen you so happy and enthusiastic on a video. I love the build, also. - Rick, USMC

[@themattresspolice4040]

AMOBT "Always Mock Up Before Texturing" OK, I just made that up, but it's now written on my foam texturing toolbox. I always learn something useful from these vids because you include mistakes with the successes. Thanks again!

[@aqualust5016]

I had no idea you've been working on all this! What an accomplishment, very happy you've been able to produce such a cool set of products that are undeniably unique from the rest.

[@ryansullivan5854]

The 80's vibe on that build montage was epic.

[@cinnamonsparrowdesigns]

I know right, the music with the sped up cutting footage reminded me of old music videos lol

[@paulofreire7520]

Basic usage of build techniques and an awesome result. That’s talent 👍🏻

[@alexstclair5429]

I've loved your content for years. Thank you for your service! I dig the new vibe in this video. All the best to you and yours, Friend.

[@goblincavecrafting]

The sheer happy vibes at 08:32 had me bopping out like a little workshop gremlin. Loving this build, and congrats on your dream becoming reality after so much hard work and thought and effort! Hope your back is getting better too.

[@yuribroda]

I absolutely love the music during the free-flow building montage, it's like the perfect 80's movie montage music!

[@terrainaholic]

Proud of you Big Guy!!!! BEAUTIFUL BUILD!!!!!!!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Hey, good to see ya!

[@the_Sleepy_Druid]

Jeremy, that is one of my favorite builds you have ever done sir. It came out great, and congrats on the release of Idols of Torment!

[@ChristopherGronlund]

Damn...that's a friggin' purty-ass book right there! Congratulations on building up (and keeping) a great community going that could support such an endeavor. Happy for you guys 😀

[@Bone772]

It brings me great joy to see that you've finished your own game.

[@robchapin3317]

Congratulations on the new hard-copy!! You should be proud.

[@ethanedwards7834]

Can't wait to get my hands on the book, and the strong hold looks great!

[@gringofett3944]

Congrats on publication of your rules! That is indeed a culmination of what is obviously a lot of work. Great video and the new pastel product is something I will be on the lookout for.

[@TheTkhhwilliams]

The upbeat montage music is fantastic! I found myself bobbing along as you cut and fitted your walls together. Thanks for these great videos

[@TheBloodyMutt]

Everything about the project is just gorgeous. I am sad I didn't have a chance to back it with life. So glad for its success so far and looking forward to more in your future. Thanks for being such an inspiring maker.

[@emmahayes111]

Congratulations Jeremy, so exciting. Loved the build too 😊

[@MB-st7be]

I know your channels tends to focus on builds that are easy for others to copy, but I think it would be interesting to see you make a really detailed building for once, with all the flying butresses and gothic tracery, stained glass, cornices, gargoles, the full works!

[@SkullyShows]

The 80’s montage music during the build was just perfect. 😎

[@dougpridgen9682]

Great job Jeremy and well deserved pride in your achievement.

[@oldmanofthemountains3388]

This build ended up looking FANTASTIC!

[@DanaHowl]

Awesome build Jeremy!!!! and congrats on the book, it looks great and must be nice to finally have a copy in your hands!!!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Thanks Dana

[@EricHartis]

Great 80’s “I will overcome any obstacle” movie vibe! 🤘

[@Shadoweyed09]

Great build and can't wait to try Idols of Torment. Also, love the montage and music accompaniment!

[@stephenjones8105]

Can’t wait to get my copy and minis in. Need more play through videos of this fantastic game

[@EmeraldKnightR]

Loving the 80's montage music! The build was fantastic, as always.

[@oliviairene4637]

As soon as you revealed the PanPastels, I was immediately reminded of the stack of old makeup compacts I have on my hobby desk that I've been meaning to try as pigments... I'm guessing the pastels will go on a little better, but now I want to get some to compare...

[@BrickSomething]

Congrats! This truly is an accomplishment. Appreciate the diy spirit and sharing so much of your process with the rest of us. Wonderful! ✌🏾➕✊🏾

[@timago4443]

Congratulations on having the finished piece in your hands ! Looks great

[@mszoomy]

You did a fantastic job, you have every right to be proud

[@magnusmillerwilson]

I’m so freaking excited! I can’t wait to get my Idols stuff!

[@mistac5050]

Great job on Idols Jeremy. Super happy for your success.

[@billhaigh312]

Damn, this is worth the wait!! And I hope you’re feeling better

[@danfocke]

The artwork in your book looks gorgeous!

[@mammonclarke]

The book looks fantastic!

[@claybass3631]

Dude! Good for you. That's awesome! I'm excited!!

[@Jim-yk9if]

Man, you should be proud of this accomplishment! The book looks awesome! And the free-form build rocks!

[@joepilimai4604]

Awesome build!!! Love the idea of using pre-packaged pastel powders...my next purchase.

[@olebrogger]

I just love the work you do. you have been such a great inspiration for all the crafting i do🙏🏽. Just keep up the good work, and congrats on the book 💕

[@paulschultz2331]

Super proud of you for producing this game! I’m happy to have gotten in on the kickstarter and I’m jonesing for my book 😊

[@TheRedBard]

The 'freestyling' you said is hard to describe is my primary method of crafting, and I would argue most people who push through do to some extent as well. Add and see what you get. Maybe next project during the freestyling, take some specific notes on your thoughts during each piece, that might help put more words to the concept at the moment. This one looks excellent, couldn't have guessed any of it was freestyled unless you told us. Greta work as always.

[@horizonsforge]

Love the stone work on the outside pillars, it looks so real! Also congrats again on Idols!

[@obadijahparks]

This turned out really well.

[@ReneeSolomon-i4s]

Congratulations on all your hard work! So excited for you!

[@NodnarbBrando]

Fantastic to see you come so far. Seeing that book on that shelf is honestly a dream come true for you, congratulations. Can't wait to try this game out.

[@patrickmccauley3255]

Your best video yet! The build: Awesome!! Your excitement and enthusiasm: contagious! Even the sponsor: badass! Love your content and excited to get my copy of IOT.

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

Thanks so much!!

[@bilgatus]

Following you for years now and am happy to see finally a good creation again :) Good luck with your game!

[@BlackMagicCraftOfficial]

All creations are good.

[@NerdCuriousStudios]

FANTASTIC!!! Very well done.

[@Powoga]

You know what this reminds me of? The old Playmobil castle walls. Thanks for the unintentional nostalgia.

[@Schalazarro]

This build is super cool! And thanks for Pan Pastel. Cheers.

[@WylochsArmory]

Congrats!

[@PsiQss]

Congrats man! You're so genuinely excited, it's contagious! :D

[@doomed2die595]

Idols of Torment miniatures on MMF are disgustingly Badass, The Vile and The Hollow are super awesome. Im gona buy the Get Started Bundle and Idols Full Bundle on payday.

[@SpencerWolfe]

A cool build! I've seen some folks who paint larger figures and busts use Pan Pastels for details and colors they would normally glaze or airbrush. Been tempted to buy a few myself.

[@334outdoors8]

That type of building you where describing around the 7:30-8:30 point I think is best described as artistry with out engineering

[@darknessislight3689]

Congratulations 🎊🎉 on your new endeavor 😊 awesome build 👍🏾

[@jameslivingstone8267]

Awesome video as always, wishing you all the best with your recovery as well!

[@kellylarson2759]

Congratulations to you and your team!!!

[@scottcomber]

Well done! Love how happy and proud you are :)

[@cerisekappes580]

Congratulations!!!! Looks amazing!!!! 😊😊😊

[@emilyr2836]

I had to laugh because every fine artist I've watched start working with pan pastels has the exact same "these are awesome" reaction. Truly a versatile product to get that reaction from people who work in so many different media!

[@eastoforion]

wow that is a super convincing stone, love those pastels!

[@RoseKindred]

Wow, loved this. The intro and project reminded me of "Clash of the Titans," the original one with Harry Hamlin as Perseus, and not just from the Medusa head. I would love to use this in a game. Well done!

[@keegobricks9734]

possible shortcut to the grout line, make a wire mesh of some kind, out of a metal that's sturdy enough to keep a squared shape, but also thin enough to be a grout line, then just heat the thing on the BBQ for like 2 mins, press it onto the foam sheet, and you should get a slightly melted outline with whatever grid pattern you cut the mesh too. Depends a bit on the materials you're using and you'd need to be super careful about how you place it, not to mention not burning yourself, but I think it could work.

[@claylewis8233]

80s jam build music! amazing.

[@gregmccormack5709]

Sweet build! & congrats on the progress with the game.👍🏻

[@simarshall2474]

You're clearly very proud of the game, and you should be. Cracking job bud!

[@justincalahan1211]

I'm working on building my first set of terrain.... a keep. I've definitely learned only having 1 inch foam makes things a little more difficult because you have to cut and put together so many more pieces. And cutting with a knife sucks! I'm hoping I can get the hot wire table on sale for black Friday. Awesome videos! I wouldn't have any idea where to start without them.

[@glorfendell2967]

This turned out so cool! Glad to see you back. Hope you are well and congrats on the huge endeavour.

[@Sad_Old_Goth]

Amazing. I feel this could help with a future "Nightbreed" project ❤

[@gabehugh343]

Great stuff Jeremy congrats on thr game book and all the hardworking you guys have put into it amazing. Oh an fantastic build too... I want to find that new pastel stuff you are talking about and used at thr end

[@VarikasPL]

Your videos are soooo awesome, i really like them. And Your builds. You are awesome. Keep doing what youre doing! And congrats for finishing Your KS kampaign!

[@louislowery2877]

Love it! Can’t wait for my kickstarter box!!

[@thewizardsnook]

The first thing I noticed about this was the incredible paint job -- I'm going to have to try pan pastels myself someday. Also, congratulations on the game publication!

[@cathyo3965]

I just got the pdf. I can't wait to read

[@garybuettner7920]

This game looks so cool and interesting. The amount of creativity, passion, and work that must’ve went into it is mind blowing. (Side note: the way the hotwire table cuts is so damn satisfying.)

[@SteelKiss1]

Congrats on your game and it’s nice to see new videos!!

[@jackcleveland1175]

Nice one! And congratulations on publishing your game. Well done!

[@ScrumpleScuff]

Soundtrack choice for the montage was on point 👍

[@sim2570]

I'm very happy for you, it's obviously easy to see that you're totally passion about that project and you did it in a very professional way. Success well deserve! :)

[@guillermodelnoche]

Have you ever tried mixing up a bucket or tub of black paint and water to dip the whole project in at once to speed up that step of coverage? Awesome build!

[@anq4274]

Dude looks happy, good for him.

[@Anthony-dbz111]

Jeremy, i dont wanna premote other channels... i would love you to team up with Atmoseeker, for some terrain... for fog machines or that interact with lights. You are my OG terrain Crafting Masters. I replicate all your stuff, i would love to see your mind at work with a fog machine terrain!!! ❤ Keep up the amazing work!

[@timothyyoung2962]

The build looks awesome. Really love the Dante's Infero vibe Idols has. And the rule book looks beautiful. Happy to see all your hard work come into full being. It's a great feeling. I'm aiming to get my own horror rpg out hopefully by spring.
