Unleash Your Inner Necromancer - DETH WIZARDS

[@XanderTuron]

Everybody looks down on necromancers, but I tell you what, do you have any idea how much effort it takes to raise a family on your own?

[@liberalhyena9760]

Not just effort but expense - they’re not eligible for child benefit.

Looks very cool. Nice video. Keep up the good work.

[@neuzd]

Those Martin McCoy paintings are stunning. I don't want to look irreverent and say I might buy the printed book "only" for that, but it's very likely it will be the deciding factor.

[@tabletopminions]

He (and Sam) did amazing work, truly. Thanks for watching!

[@derwaldjunge]

His work on the Necropolis rule book is even better

[@supertoastdemon]

If you like that art, look up necropolis 28! Same artist

[@GamerAse]

Just finished watching Vince's video and this drops. Loved the two previous games and this one has got my favourite theme so far, so definitely looking forward to trying it. Bonus points as I'll be able to use the first miniatures I ever painted, a trio of skellies!

[@badbones777]

Love this concept! Also just want to say I really appreciate the commitment Snarling Badger have shown to including solo modes in your games - I love Reign in Hell and Space Station Zero, and am looking to pick up the Majestic-12 one - I'll definitely be picking this up too. I'm already planning my lair -which in itself could be a fun modelling project!

You should totally give necropolis 28 a look, also undead warband themed, also has a small board, and same artist!

[@raxacor]

With no hesitation an immediate purchase, ( now I’ll watch the rest of the video😅) I really appreciate your solo modes as it’s my only way to play, you guys know what makes a game, very much enjoy your library and the stories they create. It would be nice to see the cards available direct in the UK at some point as the book is. Hats off to all involved. 👌

[@borna1231]

I am SO SOLD on this :D! Finally, the days of being mocked for my eclectic collection of seemingly random undead models are coming to an end!

I so wish I could see this collection. I bet it's fucking immaculate.❤

[@borna1231]

@@elyzzabeth Eh, immaculate might be an overstatement, but let´s just say I´ve got enough bodies in there to equip my whole gaming group with warbands 😄. For whatever reason, undead are the only type of minis that I´ll buy even if I don´t have a specific project for them in mind. They´re just so fucking cool.

[@tiredguy2753]

I gave the game a shot and I really did enjoy it, cheers to you and Vince and all involved for coming up with something really enjoyable.

Love being a necromancer and always choose to be one of the option is available in games. Can’t wait to get this and try it out.

Knucklebones does great work, we were happy to partner with them. Thanks for watching!

[@gideongallant1185]

This looks awesome I wasn't going to comment but I read this part on the snarling Badger website: "The main question we have often been asked when it comes to antagonists is how many are needed if I play through the whole game. Below is a list of the maximum number of any single Hero that could appear in any individual scenario (including when played in Advanced mode). Remember, the number of individual Heroes generated in any given scenario may be random, so you may never need this maximum number. All numbers are the maximum per player participating. Paladin: 5 Priest: 3 Ranger: 3 Rogue: 3 Warrior: 6 Wizard: 4 Villager: 7+ (One scenario may require more, depending on how fast you kill them). " You have no idea how useful a list like this is. Other games rarely having shopping/inventory lists for them and to see this makes things so much easier to plan out anything else I might need to print or buy. Now I wait for my hobby budget to refresh and I'll scoop this for sure. Thanks Adam and Vince!

[@petehill7465]

I bought the rules the week after they were released, and have been playing it solo every opportunity I get. I love this game - it's awesome. Vince and Uncle Atom have greatly improved on other solo games I've played. Best solo game currently available IMO.

[@nickkowalski5209]

Love the concept. For a change you're not The Noble Knight of The Holy Light. Naww, you're there to drown the land in zombies and all the cool necromancer stuff.

[@MilinkovicFilip]

This is right up my alley (been collecting various undead since 5th ed Warhammer Fantasy) although for once, I'd like to play a necromancer who set themselves up in an ancient out-of-way crypt to research in peace and just wants to be left alone.

[@tabletopminions]

I’m not sure that makes for an exciting game, but maybe it’s an expansion. Thanks for watching!

[@MilinkovicFilip]

@@tabletopminions To be fair, for there to be a game and not a Sims: necropolis edition, you'd have to get attacked by heroes and adventurers in your lair, which actually does sound like a fun expansion or homebrew idea to me. The rules about lairs and terrain you already have in the game seem like an inspiring start.

[@hogger95905]

Ooooh this is up my alley! I have so many undead models that can be taken out of boxes

[@guybeckett9576]

Didn't take me long to pick this up. Loving the look & feel of this one. Its great to start another project with yet a different set of minis I've collected but not yet painted (Vampire's) and play solo if needs be.

Well...which vampires? Dracula could originally walk around during the day :D

[@theandf]

@@Sammo212 True! The sun wasn't fatal to Dracula, but it did limit his powers. From the [fictional] journal of Mina Harker: "His power ceases, as does that of all evil things, at the coming of the day. Only at certain times can he have limited freedom. If he be not at the place whither he is bound, he can only change himself at noon or exact sunrise or sunset."

[@Subject_Keter]

I am sure a Researching Necromancer can find a way to keep their Vampires from exploding if the Sun hits them. If that Masquera one could only make like 3 pure "Vampire ass Vampires" clans.. you can write whatever.

Little-known fact: Parasols were originally invented by a necromancer trying to keep his vampires from getting dusty. The tiny hats just completed the look.

The usual questions: - Is there a Discord server? A Subreddit? - Did you do a "Deth Wizards for Dummies" of sorts? Meaning: an overview over companies having a "one stop shop" for undead and opposition (GW and Frostgrave come to mind), maybe a list of suggested 3D print suppliers of your choice, a quick "guideline for bases" (ideally with examples for everything in the game), some examples layouts for scenarios (to see the table and terrain in real, not as a schematic), a couple of example warbands and opposing forces - you get the idea. - GMG Review, when?

[@tabletopminions]

Discord server is listed on the website - see the icon at the top of each page. There’ll be a blog post this afternoon about places to look for minis. I’ll be sending Ash a copy today or tomorrow. Thanks for watching!

[@andrascsabahorvath9804]

This sounds fun! Will try next week.

[@redviego6714]

Also having reread the book while at work, I was wondering if it's okay if I start working on an expansion for it to create some other enemy/chara/spell options like a demonologist or something? I realized that the foundation of the game is really well made and can be easily tweaked to create new enemy types and new groups. The flavor text is the only part that would need me to tinker a bit, but other than that it's honestly amazing. I like the scenarios that I read through and using D10 for dice allows for more variety in custom chara creation.
