I cannot state how much I love this video, it completely sold me on Shadows of Brimstone that I bought both base games Swamps of Death and City of the Ancients, and got them all painted up in time for our maiden game session that weekend! I've taken some years break from SoB with Covid and stuff but only recently rediscovering it, and watching your video every day keeps me inspired. Hope all you guys are still safe, despite the pandemic. Best regards to you! Hope you will make a return.

[@garthantash]

I watched this video again to remember the sweet, naive, innocent time before this review got me to buy the game...many all day Saturday games later, still loving it!

[@Wedelvedeeply]

+Jake Kroker Me too! I just got the new Frontier Town expansion yesterday. Looks fun, hoping to play it soon.

[@mockier]

+Inside the Box Any plans to do a review?

[@Wedelvedeeply]

+mockier Maybe once all the big major expansions have been released. It would be fun to do a sequel with our much-improved tech.

[@garthantash]

+Inside the Box I am still waiting for it to hit other retailers so I can afford it. The $115USD cost to have it sent out to me by FFP was real sticker shock.

[@squallgoku777]

The first video of Inside the Box I ever watched, I love how they dissed the game Myth. I bought the unplayable first release of Myth, two copies of it and you guys nailed it on the head what a crapshoot that was. I have no remorse for that company who playtested Myth with less than 10 people before release.

[@lightninlad]

These guys reviews are the most entertaining board game reviews on KZbin!! Like youtube's best kept secret!!

[@Wedelvedeeply]

+lightninlad Yeah, our cat, Ender, keeps lording it over me how much more internet-famous he is.

[@DavidHargis]

Fantastic video. Just stumbled on your channel. Great work

[@Medjai_1457]

1:24 jokes on you, myth is coming back! lol

[@alexd.2504]

This may be my favorite channel ever. To exist. Ever.

[@lightninlad]

I can't believe this place doesn't have hundreds of thousands of subscribers already! Really entertaining.

[@ArcaneCowboy]

One of my favorite reviews and, for all it's warts, one of my favorite games.

[@sadis72]

This is one of the best shadow of brimstone videos on KZbin, I can’t belive it’s 8 years old. I just got into SOB two weeks ago, played twice and love it.

[@Wedelvedeeply]

Still my favorite board game to this day. Did you see our newer SoB video too?

[@rickschwab3963]

These guys need their own tv show

[@buryitdeep]

It might have been the wine and LSD but this episode made me laugh.

[@quinngordon1329]

miss you guys, content was always enjoyable

[@chriswhite7249]

The internet eagerly awaits your Forbidden Fortress video.

[@Wedelvedeeply]

I like the way you think.

[@jasonmcintosh4835]

This video is the reason i bought swamps of death....and city of the ancients....and frontier town... You guys are the best! You deserve so many more views :) I love all your videos!

[@garyclarkson5246]

I really really enjoyed this and would love to see you guys do a full play through! Happy to have found your channel

[@zerrico]

thank the gods you re-upload it. I love this video. you guys do amazing work.

[@japjikhalsa4963]

Omg. I'm like 8 years 'late to the game’, but this vide is fantastic. What a hoot!

[@WaervynsWorld]

Really awesome stuff! Keep it up! :) Also, the colour choice on those spiders is awesome. They look really ghostly.

[@CarstenBernstorff]

OMG best reviewers EVER. So glad I stumbled upon you.......Now to see what else you reviewed.

[@CoWxLuigi]

best board game review channel out there. thanks for the hard work guys i really enjoyed the video.

[@DeanFWilson]

One of the best game reviews I've seen :)

[@freakfire74]

This is fantastic! Respect to you guys. It was really fun to watch. :)

[@mikewright2750]

You guys are to funny. Lots of info in an entertaining way😁 Waiting for this game arrive.

[@TheKeltz]

Thanks!! Just stumbled across you guys , great shit!! A perfect blend of vulgarity and gaming reviews!!

[@PiterMorbid]

Haha one of the best reviews I've watched in years.

[@walderjohan]

Such cool animation and fun dynamics- new suscriber on the way !!

Brilliant, I subbed in the first minute

[@alastairbishop2450]

Fantastic review!

I love your stupid humor, 10/10, instant subscribe! :-)

[@Pezzapoo]

Amazing and entertaining review. Muchos Bravos. )

[@DSK2007]

Found you all by accident. But god dammit I am a better man for it.

[@Sulucion6Tone]

There is No Difference! These models are Identical! - hHAHAhah 'that intro was priceless'

[@Pitsenberg]

You guys are awesome!

[@squallgoku777]

Great review, very entertaining and love the dissing of Myth!

[@timmowarner]

This is SO GOOD!

[@HughRose84]

Subscribed! Awesome channel! :D

[@Andromedax01]

You seriously SMASHED that hungry dead figure ???

[@Wedelvedeeply]

+Andromedax01 I can't say I approve of Hana's novel approach to zombie killing, but it seemed pretty effective! For a lot of videos like this, we buy "stunt" copies of games so we can abuse them as much the script calls for. Anyone want a "slightly" used copy of SoB? >.>

[@MrKenpachi28]

looks craaaaazy expensive (and crazy of course!) but fun!

[@Esguardian]

Great video !

[@halinar1]

Oh subscribing now... Love the total non PC reviews.

[@Hieronymus-Pseudonymous]

Nice job on "Sully," painter.

[@tonycollins6946]

You are all so funny this is awesome

[@TheCart54321]

9:55 I LOVE DICE ROLLING I'm sold

[@YekoTradingLtd]

That was funny! Good job!

[@5wi7z3r]

Fan-Tentacle-Tastic! New favorite sub. Easily.

[@RainTreeNecro]

Love the Sabertooth Lime shirt!

[@tarao666]

Informative and fun. Great job, I´m suscribing. The only think I may miss is a little longer review and personal opionion at the end.

[@antoniabreuer7034]

Really nice video. Loved your sense of humor. But I guess Myth is better than you think with the revised rules :)

[@uluairi]

How the hell i didn´t know about this channel before? This is a masterpiece of a review. Oh, and two years after: SoB+Frontier Towns+Hexcrawl=best game ever!

[@Wedelvedeeply]

We have Frontier Towns but haven't played it yet! What's Hexcrawl? Is that the fanmade map thingy?

[@uluairi]

@@Wedelvedeeply Yes it is. It turns SoB into an amazing sandbox campaign, which expands the original game in every level. Probably the best fanmade modification ever made to a board game.

[@TheCart54321]

12:36 if we kill all the monsters in the room scavenge it and make it practically useless there or anything can we switch it out for our own needed to put a new tile there in case we run out of room

[@jwdalton]

Big band is a great way to end your videos! I like it.

[@curseofyig6727]

Holy shit LOL. Subscribed

[@squallgoku777]

I love you took the piss out of Myth, I crapped out and bought two copies of that unplayable shit

[@Wedelvedeeply]

I'm so sorry. George actually brought Myth to Hana and my's wedding and we all played it there. We don't even celebrate our anniversary because the memories are just too painful.

[@chilliewilly41]

I love your darkstone AND where can I get some?

[@VicoSurge]

0:38 had to stop and look it up but I'm pretty sure that's a Sabre-toothed lime from Kingdom of Loathing, now if you excuse me I'll go right back to watching the video

[@BoogieTimeWithJigglets]

What kind of card holder is that?

[@theblunder1983]

My favourite video of yours, and that is saying something!! Glad to see its been reincarnated. Have you guys tried Kingdom Death? It's like Shadows on crack and purple dildos are totally in keeping with the theme!

[@ericw996]

you guys have to do cosmic encounter. please

[@DrawlNeedler]

Just played this game earlier today (after not having played it for months) and the "there are now 30 guys in the room" scene was far too accurate. Love it though. Quick question, what holder do you use for the cards? Looked a bit slimmer than some of the other options I've seen and I've been meaning to invest in one.

[@Wedelvedeeply]

+DrawlNeedler I got a couple of these when we first started playing, but it looks like they're hard to find now: www.amazon.com/Innovatium-Hold-it-Game-Card-Organizer/dp/B001LFA4IQ

[@TheCart54321]

This game feels like a LEGACY game

[@Wedelvedeeply]

+carter grantham Yeah, it definitely plays a bit like a tabletop RPG, with leveling up characters and gaining new powers and equipment over time.

[@wayner396]

I'm curious of which parts got changed?

[@Wedelvedeeply]

+wayner396 Used to have "Jump in the Line" by Harry Belafonte as the ending song.

[@TheKeltz]

The card caddy thingy inside the box , is that a custom job? And the dark stone uhm stones. Are those Kickstarter goodies or did they come from the local craft store?

[@Wedelvedeeply]

+Shawn Keltz Both are just things I grabbed on my own (nothing from Kickstarter). This is the company that makes the card holder: www.innovatiuminc.com The darkstone are acrylic rocks that can be found lots of places. Here's an example: www.amazon.com/Pounds-Purple-Acrylic-Table-Scatters/dp/B007L55MB4/ref=sr_1_4?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1463724344&sr=1-4&keywords=acrylic+rocks Hope that helps!

[@That_Eriksson]

The "Yellow P Die" was that thought out well?

[@alecj3454]

I dont get it. Why does Hana like tentacles? I feel like i missed an important episode of something.....

[@Nain1982]

Stereotypical joke perhaps...japanese do some crazy stuff with squids and octopuses 😅

[@WolandSilent]

Can you share the name of the song in the intro about Brimstone' story?

[@Wedelvedeeply]

+WolandSilent Almost all the music from this episode is from the Shadows of Brimstone soundtrack (comes with both Core Sets). That track is called "Hold Back the Darkness". kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4Ktf6erbs58frM

[@WolandSilent]

+Inside the Box Thx! Great show, instant sub.

[@davedogge2280]

Something tells me that this gaming group figured up that Myth wasn't quite 'complete' on release. btw I got the two Shadow of Brimstone core sets + expansions, how much of a pain is it to assemble the minis ?

[@Wedelvedeeply]

Depends on your expectations. If you were expecting a game that you can quickly set up and play, then it's a huge time sink, but if you know you'll have to spend a few hours putting all the models together, they're relatively simple. Each one comes in about 3 parts that you have to superglue together and then glue onto a base. Painting is more complicated, but not necessary to play. That's why I made sure to have that shot in the beginning that show what the game looks like when you first unpack it (all the gray unpainted models on sprues). I actually went out and bought a 3rd copy of the base game specifically to show that so no one would think it starts off looking as nice as after Hana painted them all.

[@cutthr0atjake]

So, it's Deadlands the boardgame then.

[@TheCart54321]

7:10 risk-reward system

[@josephtiefenthaler2765]

What organizer do you use for the game?

[@Wedelvedeeply]

This is the company that makes the card holder: www.innovatiuminc.com. Think you can also find them on Amazon.

[@josephtiefenthaler2765]

Thanks for the info.

[@davedogge2280]

You guys got Myth 1.0 suckered !?

[@Wedelvedeeply]

Yup. George Kickstarted it. Even lugged the whole damn thing to Hawaii to play at our wedding (me and Hana, not me and George).

[@desmondm728]

When are you guys going to do a true Myth review? This video made me think of how funny you guys would be reviewing a game you all really hated. Also, I never played Myth, but the 'let's plays' videos made it seem fine...?

[@Khaador]

Hey I love myth!

[@williambaker7647]

I want to see the full Myth review ;)

[@Wedelvedeeply]

+William Baker We burned that game, along with the designers. It can never come back.

[@williambaker7647]

They did another KS for Myth V2.0 you will have to review it!

[@Pikkabuu]

You have the price or either the number of players wrong. You can only play with 1-4 players with just one box, so you need the two boxes to play as 1-6 players. Also in my experience it seems that you basicly need both of the boxes as they both have basicly half of the game... Still a good dungeoncrawler.

[@j3errym]

Myth is back V2.0 and Journeyman :)

[@Wedelvedeeply]

It's like those horror movies where you think the evil is dead, but it always comes back again...

[@TheCart54321]

Oh come on was myth really that bad?

[@TheCart54321]

1:21 is myth really that bad?

[@countertothedark]

sadly yes I have it in my closet of games and haven't touched it in a really really long time. it tries to be to many things and horribly punishing on players.

[@Trotskyification]

+countertothedark Myth 2.0 is a pretty good game now - luckily I missed out on the disaster that was the initial release.

[@Cadaveralien]

Now I'm going to miss the Watch It Played comment posted in the original video comment section

[@Wedelvedeeply]

+Cadaveralien I think if you light a candle in a dark room and whisper "Rodney" three times into a mirror, he'll comment.

[@Andromedax01]

+Cadaveralien What was the comment ? you've piqued my curiosity...

[@Cadaveralien]

+Andromedax01 Something along the lines of "hey! there is a Shadows of Brimstone review inside this incredibly accurate Myth review"

[@DanielKling]

Weellll... this video just cost me $100, hehe. I hope my characters are as much fun as yours ;)

[@Wedelvedeeply]

We wound up buying 3 copies of the base game, plus a ton of accessory monsters and stuff. Totally worth it.

[@TheCart54321]

Judging by the amount of cards Boards,equipment And BLOODY FIGURINES I'm gonna say this board game costs... $150 am I right?

[@Wedelvedeeply]

There are two different starter sets with unique characters and enemies for about $65. You can play with just one set, but we wanted the option to have more than 4 players, plus we liked having all the extra enemies and character options. There's also a TON of extra content you can buy separately, like new enemies, bosses, worlds, etc. so really you can spend an infinite amount of money on this game.

[@TheCart54321]

Inside the Box I wish I could join you guys for one of these games I actually have a box now

[@Seldonlair]

You guys should really take a look at Kingdom Death: Monster. If you think that these monsters were tough...well...they're not. Compared to some of KD:Ms Level 1 monsters, those "brutal" versions are little bitches.

[@dylanhanson8311]

God.... The copyright fairies really don't like you do they

[@falkenfluegel]

wtf. i subscribed after 3 minutes. what is happening?

[@Wedelvedeeply]

Welcome! I'm so sorry.

[@faewaka489]

you guys should do a bts video

[@mozsiman]

You guys are good, I'm surprised i just discovered you.... Why don't BGG forums talk about you? You guys must be like the nasty uncle no one likes to discuss. It's refreshing to not get a board game review from a Christian or an overly sensitive intellectual throwing around words like 'misogynist'. Only 5k subscribers, it must be disheartening. Your videos are quality, and show a lot more work than every other reviewer. Fuck em, they don't know what's good. I salute you.

[@lightninlad]

Totally seconding everything you just said. These guys have mad talent. I feel guilty that I'm one of the few who knows about this place. With great power comes great responsibility.

[@chrisward5263]

you realize the storyline was just a rip off of Deadland: Doomtown, right?

[@Wedelvedeeply]

I had no idea. I do have a copy of Doomtown Reloaded but I haven't opened it yet. What part of the story is ripped off?

[@chrisward5263]

+Inside the Box the storyline revolves around the characters wanting to get their hand on the new mysterious rocks. it's the same thing as doomtown. only doomtown calls it ghost rock.

[@chrisward5263]

+Chris Ward still the game does look like it would be fun to play.

[@Denpos1]

How many similarities is there? I get the ghost rock and perhaps the cataclysmic event... then there's the theme but the contents and how it's handled seems vastly different :p I don't think it's that much of a ripoff again...

[@chrisward5263]

At first it seemed as though it was very similar but the more i research this game, the more different it is. perhaps you are correct.

[@quicuiri]

Dat Spanish tho

[@misomiso8228]

why is myth so bad?!
