Wrath and Glory: Pickup and Play in Under 20 Minutes

[@gyroscope915]

2 years later and this is still the best guide out there

[@colemurphy3585]

Was looking for something just like this - thank you for your clear language, solid pacing, and artful but not distracting visuals

[@Khainite]

So glad to find something that lays this all out. I've always wanted to play a 40K RPG and figured I'd give this a try. I've never played any sort of tabletop game (always wanted to and been close but groups never work out) so combining the lack of experience with learning to play solo because I don't have anyone to play with is definitely daunting. Still I hope I can get somewhere with the help of video guides, the rule book and some determination. Cheers!

[@vanillacoke8582]

Just picked this rulebook up the other day, and your video has been so incredibly useful. Great job, my dude.

[@sliceanddiceroleplay6530]

thanks, really appreciate the kind words!

[@WickedGoodBooks]

THIS is perfect! I just bought the book and wanted a primer before getting into the material!

[@MrEightImmortals]

Thank you for this. I came from the 40k reddit.

[@sliceanddiceroleplay6530]

More than welcome! Glad I can help!

[@피리를-불어라]

I own the rulebook and have read most of it but thia really helped me get a better understanding of it all. Starting my own solo campaign v soon

[@Farrew221]

Ill show it to my friends, maybe this will convince them to try out W&G

[@sliceanddiceroleplay6530]

Fingers crossed!

[@crazagres1839]

Listening to this reminded me So much of Vampire the masquerade in terms of the mechanics, especially with the "wrath" dice being so similar to the hunger dice.

[@ArcaneCowboy]

Nice work. Thanks!

You're welcome!

Really well done!

Great guide!

Fantastic video.

[@kisenok8805]

It is a very helpful video for me, big THX!! And I wish you make more tutorial videos, because it is my only chance learn this game, becuase I'm hungarian man, and difficult to understand the core book but your video very very helpful so Big THX ! :)

[@sliceanddiceroleplay6530]

I plan on making more in depth ones soon, thanks for your kind words :)

Great guide.

Great video nj

Thank you.

[@AlistarPrada666]

40k views? By emperor that’s a coincidence

[@RedCrusader-ph2vk]

41K views now! That's enough for a entire primarch!

[@Leonxandergunisback]

Very nice and concise video, thanks, it will be really helpful when i'll read the rulebook again. I just have a question: when you say you give free talents to player how do you choose them? You give your players a max experience cost for choosing them or you simply decide on one together? Also, do you give them only on character creation or during gameplay as well?

[@sliceanddiceroleplay6530]

Hi there, sorry for such a late reply! - i Simply review their character and whatever one feels most flavourful for them i grant them for free. - Something usually narrative!

[@Leonxandergunisback]

@@sliceanddiceroleplay6530 Perfect, thanks for the answer, and don't worry about the late reply.

[@KyleNelson89]

Thanks for creating these videos. I am about to dive into the game and this definitely makes digesting the 400 page rulebook easier! lol Also, what's your overall opinion on wrath and glory? Thanks again :)

[@TheRainfield]

Can you import the character creation file to FoundryVTT from Doctors of Doom?

[@jedianderson2883]

Can you roll die on doctors of doom like in dnd beyond or do you have to do it manually

[@sliceanddiceroleplay6530]

Currently I don’t believe so!

[@benjaminZ20]

Is there a website or app i can use to play with my friends online? With maps and all that?

[@sliceanddiceroleplay6530]

Hey there! I use roll20 - but there are others out there too!

[@mydvusgrey]

Where did you get your maps or how did you make them? :D

[@sliceanddiceroleplay6530]

I made a lot either using Heroic Maps stuff or photoshop!

[@DislocatedDesign]

Excellent video! I gather from this that Wrath & Glory seems to be combat, combat and combat according - isn't it supposed to a roleplaying game, not a tabletop slog? I've got Fantasy Flight's Dark heresy, Rogue Trader and the other 40k systems and these are packed with lore, nuance and certainly encourage creativity, and while yes, the core rulebooks are indeed dense 400 page slabs, close to none of that is wasted in my opinion. Granted, the FF systems are complex (but compatible with one another) requiring time and knowledge but they inspire with the depth of information from page to page plus there were lots of supplements for character creation options and advancements and plenty of gear, powers and the like. W&G comes across to me as a simplified system for casual play, so I think I'll go watch a game or two on here to see what GMs and players made of this system and how they role-played using it. Regardless, we're sticking to Fantasy Flight's 40k rpg systems, since that was such a thorough treatment of the setting I doubt it will ever be matched in that regard.

[@sliceanddiceroleplay6530]

I think my Pathfinder background makes me and my players lean towards a decent combat scenario in most play sessions - but overall i would say the emphasis is definitely towards intrigue, character building and relationships. - Its a healthy mix of both, i would think - but for us, combat can play quite a central focus because our old habits have yet to die off!

[@DislocatedDesign]

@@sliceanddiceroleplay6530 Sure, in our game of Dark Heresy, we're averaging one combat scenario every other session but that's partly because they're currently working undercover on a rival House's frigate, so subtly is currently important for them to get to their target for the assassination. I'll do some more investigating into W&G, since it sounds like there's more scope to the game than combat rules! Cheers

[@sliceanddiceroleplay6530]

@@DislocatedDesign Now that sounds like amazing sessions! I think there's still room for growth with W+G. Its still in it's infancy so I'm excited to see what else is on the table!

[@DislocatedDesign]

@@sliceanddiceroleplay6530 We're only limited by imaginations in rpgs but it is cool when a system enables lots of scope in styles of play via its rules (eg. diverse skills and talents). A good GM can always adapt a system to suit the in-game themes intended, it's just a bonus when the rule-set already supports varied play-styles is all. You and your group seem to be having fun with W&G so game on Slice and Dice :)

[@NefariousKoel]

I've owned some of these, including Dark Heresy 1e & 2e (plus others in the line), and both versions of Wrath & Glory. Although I cherish the Fantasy Flight d100 books, I thought all the extra 40k material just made the old WFRP-derived d100 system too bloated and clunky. Still love it, and have loved WFRP since 1e, but W&G is just more user-friendly for me, yet keeps enough of the universe flavor in the mechanics to keep it interesting.

[@khartog01]

Do you use a wrath die in every attack?

[@sliceanddiceroleplay6530]

You do on attack rolls, yes! It's just one different coloured dice in the pool you use to roll an attack with - not an extra one! You don't use a wrath die on damage rolls though.

[@khartog01]

Thanks for the clarification. Just got the main book the other day.

[@sliceanddiceroleplay6530]

@@khartog01 More than - if you need any more questions answered I'm happy to help!

[@Riggsradar69]

For which edition is this like there is a seconde edition ?

[@sliceanddiceroleplay6530]

This is for the most recent iteration of the rulebook - produced by Cubicle7

[@NefariousKoel]

The newest Cubicle 7 edition is the same rules as the previous one from Ulisses. However, this newest Cube7 version has much better text and graphical layout, being easier to read & learn. It's missing the vehicle combat rules from the previous edition, but the publisher mentioned creating a dedicated supplement with it plus more content on the subject.

[@1wolftank]

Me being lazy as all get out watching this video Also me reading my codex and rule book for the Table Top miniature war game LOL

[@tysonmann1780]

For the algorithm

[@AVeryConvincingDisguise]

This is so fucking pedantic but I gotta mention it out of a love of being able to talk about warhammer lore- The Eagle heads shown at points in the video are facing the wrong directions I believe. The eagle with an intact eye is supposed to be facing to the right to symbolise always looking forward whereas the eyeless eagle is supposed to be facing left to symbolise being blind to the past. Of course I could be wrong and I don’t think it’s a major issue (I love this video and used it to introduce my players to the system) but it’s been nagging at me for a while now.

[@VitaminXism]

Some feedback. I can't read the writing in the wrath die chapter, and your pacing is off

[@VitaminXism]

It's a fine video overall, well done, but I'm not sure this game is for me.

[@MagnificentMelkior]

How cheap would talents have to be to become viable but not obligatory Choices

[@VitaminXism]

This is 40k. All this diversity of character creation makes me sick!!! Humans are all the diversity I need, than you very much!!!
