| 13s | hello and welcome runescapers this week |
| 15s | our friends from steamforged games have |
| 17s | taken over the runescape weekly |
| 18s | livestream for a digital playthrough of |
| 20s | our new board game and development |
| 22s | runescape kingdom's shadow of elvarg is |
| 24s | a cooperative campaign board game which |
| 27s | is coming to kickstarter on the 31st of |
| 29s | may this is a cooperative campaign game |
| 32s | for one to five players explore asgardia |
| 34s | and mr lydden from above go on quests |
| 37s | level up your skills and take on bosses |
| 39s | today's dream will be the first time |
| 41s | we're giving an actual look at gameplay |
| 43s | through a digital tabletop so we're |
| 44s | passing over to jamie at steamforged |
| 46s | games to start the game |
| 49s | thank you very much monster um so |
| 51s | thank you very much for letting us come |
| 53s | on and as you say take over your stream |
| 54s | for the afternoon or at least the next |
| 56s | hour |
| 57s | what we're going to be doing uh over the |
| 59s | next hour is we're going to be taking |
| 60s | this through a couple of pre-scripted |
| 62s | turns through the game uh to have a look |
| 64s | at how some of the game mechanics |
| 65s | operate uh obviously um the viewers |
| 67s | might not realize this but mods do and |
| 69s | mod raven haven't actually had a lot of |
| 70s | contact with this board game before now |
| 72s | so they're very much coming into it as |
| 73s | new learners like everyone that's |
| 75s | viewing uh doing the channel so the |
| 77s | intention here is that we'll play |
| 78s | through some turns and we're gonna take |
| 79s | our really take our time with it and ask |
| 81s | as many questions and talk about things |
| 83s | as we go through as possible so i've |
| 85s | given person too much to you and my |
| 86s | raven to ask as many questions as they |
| 88s | can think of us as we watch into it um |
| 91s | the reason why we're doing a couple of |
| 92s | scripted turns is because the um the |
| 95s | gameplay from runescape kingdom is |
| 96s | actually quite quite expansive like |
| 98s | playing through a whole campaign can |
| 100s | probably take you |
| 101s | up to uh or perhaps beyond three hours |
| 104s | so |
| 104s | it's very much intended to be a game |
| 106s | that you engage with a little bit you |
| 108s | pack it when you box uh in its currently |
| 110s | played format and then break it out |
| 112s | again for your next session and continue |
| 114s | from where you were so because of that |
| 115s | we're just going to break it down to a |
| 117s | couple of but walk through a couple of |
| 118s | turns instead uh to show you how to |
| 120s | charge some of the game mechanics and |
| 122s | we're also going to have a look at some |
| 123s | stuff to do with the the boss fights |
| 124s | later on as well so we're going to get |
| 125s | to get to grips with karen draynor |
| 127s | himself towards towards the end of the |
| 128s | stream so um so i think what we can do |
| 131s | actually is we can we can just jump |
| 132s | straight into things and what we've |
| 133s | asked um to do is to take over control |
| 136s | of the knight for us |
| 138s | and moderate is going to take over |
| 139s | control of the wizard for us um |
| 142s | just to let um fans know as well is that |
| 144s | when you play one of these uh particular |
| 146s | miniatures it doesn't it doesn't |
| 147s | describe you to like a predetermined |
| 149s | play style they're very much blank |
| 150s | slates uh these characters you can you |
| 153s | can have them um leveled up in skilling |
| 155s | in whatever you like |
| 157s | um so just because if you're playing |
| 159s | with the knight uh miniature as your |
| 160s | adventurer doesn't actually prevent you |
| 162s | from say leveling up in magic or |
| 163s | crafting it's very much just the |
| 165s | characters |
| 166s | makes you play with our game board so if |
| 168s | we can have a look at taking the first |
| 169s | turn with the knight um we're going to |
| 171s | be playing cooperatively through the |
| 173s | vampire slayer campaign |
| 174s | um what that basically means is we've |
| 176s | taken some of the iconic quests from the |
| 179s | video games and we've turned those into |
| 181s | sort of larger overarching stories as |
| 183s | you're playing through the board game um |
| 185s | smaller elements of quests like gertrude |
| 187s | scat etc here are side quests but some |
| 189s | of the big ones like vampire slayer or |
| 191s | the long ones or other appear as your |
| 193s | campaign quest and that gives you like |
| 195s | your overall team objective of what |
| 196s | you're trying to accomplish and i |
| 197s | mentioned earlier that we're going to be |
| 198s | working towards that boss fight with |
| 200s | with count draynor so um what we think |
| 203s | the knights has decided to do with their |
| 204s | first turn is they're actually going to |
| 205s | go and try to achieve that first |
| 207s | objective on the campaign board to |
| 209s | complete vampire slayer which is to go |
| 211s | to speak to morgan so what they would do |
| 213s | is they would go straight to the |
| 213s | campaign board |
| 215s | and have a read actually of the area it |
| 217s | says speak to morgan that should tell |
| 218s | you what to do do you mind having to |
| 219s | read about first please um |
| 221s | so speak to morgan people of draenor |
| 223s | village live in constant terror their |
| 225s | numbers are dwindling all due to the |
| 227s | foul creature lurking in the manor to |
| 230s | the north known as a vampire one |
| 232s | villager morgan seeks aid |
| 237s | you want to read the rest as well |
| 239s | please yeah please do yeah okay if that |
| 241s | wasn't true just start alex parker okay |
| 243s | an adventure in draenor village with uh |
| 245s | one |
| 246s | defense or more i'm guessing can perform |
| 248s | the following action speak to morgan by |
| 250s | collecting vault card one |
| 253s | okay so what we'd then do uh actually |
| 255s | because the knight is currently stood on |
| 257s | lumbridge and um this is one of the |
| 258s | regions of the game ball that they can |
| 260s | be positioned in there's a couple of |
| 262s | there's a line of black dots that's |
| 263s | connecting the uh lumbridge to draenor |
| 265s | village so what we're going to do is |
| 266s | move the knight over to draenor village |
| 268s | as their movement whenever you take your |
| 270s | turn you can move to an adjacent region |
| 273s | which is connected by the black dots |
| 274s | once you've moved to a new region you |
| 276s | can do one of two things usually one of |
| 278s | them is explore the region so that would |
| 279s | be drawing an exclamation card and |
| 281s | interacting with whatever random event |
| 282s | occurs in that region game board the |
| 284s | other thing you can do is interact with |
| 286s | an ongoing quest whether it's a side |
| 287s | quest or a campaign quest is what we're |
| 290s | doing at the moment so because you've |
| 291s | moved to draenor village which is what |
| 293s | the campaign quest says um you can do |
| 295s | your quest action speak to morgan which |
| 297s | allows you to draw vault card number one |
| 298s | which i'll just draw for you |
| 301s | okay so we'll bring volt card one over |
| 303s | here we can have a look at that i've |
| 304s | drawn it already down near the campaign |
| 306s | board |
| 307s | if we have a double click of that we can |
| 309s | have a read of that would you mind |
| 310s | reading out for us please again |
| 311s | certainly |
| 312s | uh i wonder what morgan sounds like he's |
| 315s | been such an old character um i'll make |
| 317s | him fairly whiny um please please help |
| 319s | this bold adventurer our little village |
| 322s | has been dreadfully ravaged by an evil |
| 324s | vampire |
| 325s | he lives in the basement of the manor to |
| 326s | the north we need someone to get rid of |
| 328s | him once and for all |
| 331s | i have a friend who is a retired vampire |
| 333s | hunter his name is dr harlow he may be |
| 336s | able to give you some tips he can |
| 338s | normally be found in the blue moon inn |
| 340s | in vrok |
| 342s | apparently i've gained three coins and |
| 344s | one defense from that |
| 346s | you have indeed so what we can do now is |
| 348s | we can discard this fault card because |
| 350s | we've used that now and your character |
| 351s | has gained |
| 353s | those elements for completing that quest |
| 354s | so we'll take an experience points and |
| 356s | we'll put that down under defense if we |
| 357s | want to go down to the next character |
| 359s | sheets |
| 360s | just drag one these experience tokens |
| 362s | over |
| 362s | and you gain a point of experience in |
| 364s | defense so what as you can imagine uh |
| 367s | when you build up experience tokens |
| 368s | along your character sheets when you |
| 369s | effectively fill those tokens up you can |
| 371s | gain an entire level in that skill and |
| 373s | that will help you um be more successful |
| 376s | in skill tests and other things you'll |
| 377s | get to do later on in the game so |
| 379s | and also we have gained some coins as |
| 381s | well i believe so we'll take over three |
| 383s | coins um these can be spent on resources |
| 385s | performing other actions and sort of |
| 387s | stuff you can do this it's resources you |
| 388s | can spend later in the game |
| 390s | okay that would actually |
| 393s | absolutely absolutely that so that would |
| 394s | uh complete your turn with the knight um |
| 396s | one of the things i do want to point out |
| 398s | by the way is that this uh this demo is |
| 400s | very much using it's a number of |
| 402s | placeholder graphics uh so for example |
| 403s | that headshot we have there of morgan |
| 405s | that's not intended to be shown as is in |
| 407s | the final game we very much intend to |
| 408s | replace those with something a little |
| 409s | bit more finalized when we come to |
| 411s | putting the game into your hands and |
| 413s | this is just what we have let's play |
| 414s | solder for now |
| 416s | um okay so |
| 418s | um don't forget by the way if there's |
| 419s | any questions or anything that's come up |
| 420s | or anything you want to ask about as |
| 421s | we're going through just just stop us |
| 423s | and then we can we can talk about it as |
| 424s | we're going going through there |
| 426s | um |
| 428s | but if that all seems straightforward we |
| 430s | can carry on and pass over to um |
| 433s | fraser and mod raven who are going to |
| 434s | show us to take us through the wizard's |
| 436s | turn |
| 438s | yes thank you jamie so we're going to do |
| 439s | the wizard's turn |
| 441s | the wizard has picked up a sidequest |
| 444s | goblin diplomacy previously in the game |
| 446s | and they're going to make moves towards |
| 448s | completing it so we'll bring that up as |
| 450s | i have a look at it |
| 453s | it's on the top left it's just just here |
| 456s | there we go uh if you could read the |
| 458s | just the bold italic text at the top for |
| 460s | me please |
| 461s | okay |
| 463s | generals bent nose and wart face can't |
| 465s | agree on which color their tribe should |
| 467s | wear |
| 468s | help them solve their dispute so the |
| 470s | world doesn't have to worry about |
| 472s | writing goblins |
| 475s | so there we go it's really um world |
| 478s | ending stuff |
| 480s | but the wizard to |
| 482s | continue this quest is gonna have to get |
| 483s | to goblin village |
| 485s | uh if we go back to the game board we'll |
| 487s | see that the wizard is in lumbridge |
| 490s | umbridge is not adjacent to the goblin |
| 492s | village |
| 493s | they'll have to travel through ice |
| 495s | mountain to get there so that's what |
| 497s | we're going to do we're going to take |
| 498s | the the wizards uh miniature we're going |
| 500s | to move it on to ice mountain |
| 504s | oh like jimmy said there's two things we |
| 506s | can do uh when we move on to a region we |
| 509s | can request action if there is one or we |
| 512s | can explore it in this case there isn't |
| 514s | the quest action so we'll be exploring |
| 516s | it |
| 517s | uh each uh |
| 520s | region belongs to an area |
| 523s | uh earth orb falador edgeville lumbridge |
| 527s | or varrock |
| 528s | uh |
| 529s | ice mountain belongs to edgeville so |
| 531s | we'll take uh |
| 535s | uh edgeville exploration card we'll draw |
| 537s | it we'll flip it over and we'll see what |
| 539s | it says |
| 540s | we're on ice mountain so we'll resolve |
| 543s | the section of it that corresponds that |
| 545s | corresponds to that region so if we can |
| 547s | read the uh ice mountain text please |
| 551s | an ice fiend charges towards you stand |
| 554s | your ground or scare it off with magic |
| 559s | okay |
| 561s | okay and this brings us to the first |
| 564s | example of a skill test |
| 566s | skill tests usually have a pass and fail |
| 568s | passes a reward fail usually is bad |
| 571s | you'll suffer wins or you'll get |
| 573s | pickpocketed or something like that |
| 575s | um how would you pass or fail it uh |
| 578s | depends on how you get on the skill test |
| 580s | you'll see there's these two columns to |
| 582s | the side |
| 583s | one with the sword in it and one with a |
| 584s | hat in it |
| 585s | the sword is a belly skill test uh the |
| 588s | hat is a magic skill test |
| 591s | and you'll see there's two numbers in |
| 592s | each scale test one the top and one on |
| 594s | the bottom |
| 595s | the top number is the skill test |
| 597s | complexity |
| 599s | uh that's to determine the number of |
| 601s | dice that you get to roll in the test |
| 603s | the more dice you get to roll the more |
| 604s | chance you have of passing it |
| 606s | if your skill level uh in the skill is |
| 611s | lower than the complexity of the test |
| 612s | your one dice if it's the same you'll |
| 614s | roll two dice and if it's higher than |
| 617s | you'll roll three dice and on any one |
| 620s | individual dice you're looking to roll |
| 622s | the number on the bottom uh the |
| 624s | difficulty of the test so if we choose |
| 626s | to if we choose to take a melee test we |
| 628s | would need to roll seven if we should |
| 630s | take a magic task we need to rule of |
| 631s | four |
| 633s | uh mod raven uh normally i would leave |
| 635s | this up to you to pick between them but |
| 637s | we've scripted it's gonna be the magic |
| 639s | test so that's what we're gonna take |
| 641s | um so we'll have a look at the wizards |
| 644s | magic skill |
| 647s | uh which is two |
| 649s | less than three so we're only going to |
| 651s | get through all one dice um let's |
| 653s | pretend we did that off screen in a |
| 655s | lovely scripted manner and we rolled the |
| 658s | let's say the nine that said that's this |
| 660s | they're sitting nicely three year old |
| 662s | for us |
| 664s | so we've passed the scale test our |
| 666s | reward was a coin so we'll collect one |
| 668s | from the |
| 670s | the bank let's call it |
| 672s | uh and we'll get so okay roll it for you |
| 674s | it was a time |
| 677s | thank you |
| 678s | all screen as well it's just that would |
| 679s | do it |
| 680s | um |
| 682s | okay now when you take a skill test pass |
| 685s | or fail you gain an experience point in |
| 687s | that skill |
| 689s | so the wizard will |
| 691s | in an experience in magic |
| 694s | which nicely |
| 696s | adds the third skill this third |
| 698s | experience point in magic so we remove |
| 700s | each other through each of the three |
| 701s | skill tokens |
| 703s | and we'll |
| 704s | level the scale up by one |
| 706s | easy is that not not so bad for |
| 708s | exploring a random mountain |
| 711s | well that's not finished |
| 714s | yes very very well the well explored |
| 717s | um that's not all we get to do when we |
| 719s | explore we'll see each of the |
| 722s | region banners has an icon on it at the |
| 724s | bottom |
| 725s | i'll move the |
| 728s | uh wizard figures slightly so we can see |
| 730s | uh the cooking icon that will either be |
| 733s | a skill icon or a resource icon for the |
| 736s | resource icon we would have gained the |
| 737s | resource because it's a skill icon |
| 739s | instead we can spend resources to gain |
| 741s | experience points in that icon |
| 744s | up to three up to three skill points |
| 746s | and each resource that we spend has to |
| 748s | be different |
| 750s | the wizard |
| 751s | if we have a look to the side of the |
| 752s | character sheet has two metal |
| 755s | so we can't |
| 756s | spend both of those because of the same |
| 759s | we'll spend one of them still |
| 761s | uh so we flip that to spend it |
| 764s | from the plate with two on it so with |
| 765s | one on it if that is actually the case |
| 768s | no okay so we'll ditch that one |
| 772s | and replace it with a one |
| 776s | beginner experience in |
| 779s | cooking |
| 783s | and that's how we interact with uh |
| 785s | skilling points throughout the map |
| 788s | uh that brings the wizard's turn to an |
| 790s | end |
| 792s | they've just said something it doesn't |
| 793s | matter what resource you you spend it |
| 795s | can be anything |
| 797s | it can be any resource you want as long |
| 800s | as they're as long as they're different |
| 801s | for each skill point you gain |
| 803s | right |
| 804s | yes |
| 805s | so the main reason for that is a couple |
| 807s | of different things one is because this |
| 808s | when you look at the the video games for |
| 810s | runescape and old school escape there's |
| 812s | quite a huge number of resources |
| 813s | throughout the game all different kinds |
| 814s | of resources like just a number of |
| 816s | different balls alone when you're |
| 817s | creating different metals it's like |
| 820s | five six seven eight of those if there's |
| 822s | more than those when you include things |
| 823s | like coal as well it's like |
| 824s | supplementary materials there's so many |
| 825s | different resources in the game we |
| 826s | needed to to bring those down to a |
| 829s | shorter list of things that we could use |
| 830s | that would still apply to the majority |
| 832s | of things using the game so we've got to |
| 833s | think it was about 12 different |
| 834s | resources that we can pick up which |
| 835s | things like flour eggs and then there's |
| 837s | more generic one like metal which |
| 839s | represents all different metals you can |
| 840s | pick up |
| 841s | when it comes to skilling obviously |
| 843s | there's quite a lot of those resources |
| 844s | that are required to use in skilling so |
| 846s | when i come back to the earlier version |
| 848s | if you were leveling up you know mining |
| 849s | in the video games you would be making |
| 851s | use of different walls that you found to |
| 853s | create metal bars and smith them later |
| 854s | on to increase your smithing experience |
| 857s | um we've in this case we basically know |
| 860s | that you will quite often sort of import |
| 862s | resources to gain experience out of the |
| 864s | games um and you'll often sort of gain |
| 866s | other resources in return taking my |
| 867s | example like a mental bar |
| 869s | um this is why in this instance we've |
| 872s | made it a little bit simple for players |
| 873s | to suspend any of the resources that |
| 875s | they've got to to access these sort of |
| 876s | skilling points on the game board um |
| 880s | yeah |
| 881s | so there's an abstraction that like |
| 883s | you're selling those little bars to then |
| 884s | acquire some raw food |
| 886s | behind the scenes that you then be |
| 887s | cooking for the cooking skill but kind |
| 888s | of skipping a step for simplicity's sake |
| 891s | exactly exactly yes |
| 895s | yeah thank you very much very much it so |
| 898s | also in terms of the game experience in |
| 899s | game dance it also means that you should |
| 901s | never really have any kind of useless |
| 902s | resources that you've collected you can |
| 903s | always use them for something even if |
| 904s | it's just discarding them to gain some |
| 906s | experience in this skill |
| 908s | okay |
| 909s | so as fraser said that brings us to the |
| 912s | end of the wizards turns that means we |
| 914s | have to move on to the skiller who was |
| 915s | who fraser is going to pilot himself for |
| 917s | us that's okay fraser |
| 919s | uh yeah so back to me again |
| 922s | oh what we're going to have a look at |
| 924s | for the skiller's turn is their leather |
| 926s | body |
| 927s | um which is an equipment card |
| 930s | uh the reason i bring this up is because |
| 932s | equipment card is something that we've |
| 933s | not really gone over yet equipment can |
| 935s | do a lot of different things in the game |
| 937s | this one allows us to add an extra diet |
| 940s | equipment die special die to |
| 943s | defense skill tests |
| 945s | but |
| 946s | only for defense skill tests of |
| 948s | complexity 2 or lower |
| 952s | obviously at the moment we're early days |
| 954s | that's okay but as the campaigns go on |
| 957s | and get more dangerous the complexity |
| 959s | numbers are going to get higher uh so |
| 961s | we're going to look to upgrade this |
| 963s | equipment to |
| 964s | take us further safely into the |
| 967s | campaign so see there there's a number |
| 969s | of upgrade resource resources we need uh |
| 972s | two leather metal and a thread |
| 975s | and then beside that there is a skill |
| 977s | test listed to upgrade the equipment so |
| 980s | if |
| 981s | any character has |
| 983s | the |
| 984s | upgrade resources |
| 986s | uh in their inventory they can attempt |
| 989s | to during their turn at any point uh |
| 991s | take that scaling test |
| 993s | to upgrade the equip |
| 995s | the scaler has almost everything they |
| 997s | need |
| 999s | they've got three leather |
| 1000s | more than the two they need they've got |
| 1002s | one metal they just need the thread so |
| 1004s | what they're going to do is try and go |
| 1006s | and get some thread so we'll go back to |
| 1008s | the map and we'll see that the thread |
| 1010s | icon is on valador |
| 1013s | fortunately that region is adjacent to |
| 1015s | where they are just now uh entirely |
| 1018s | because you know scripted turns are |
| 1020s | great |
| 1021s | so we're going to move from tower league |
| 1024s | to falador |
| 1025s | and we'll explore explore it to get the |
| 1027s | thread |
| 1028s | we've just seen in the wizards turn what |
| 1030s | happens when we explore a province |
| 1032s | region those are the ones with small |
| 1033s | banners |
| 1034s | falador is a capital region big banner |
| 1038s | uh and we explore those in a slightly |
| 1040s | different way |
| 1042s | first of all we don't draw an |
| 1043s | exploration card uh it's more |
| 1045s | predictable what's going to happen these |
| 1047s | tend to be bigger more |
| 1050s | i don't want to say civilized but |
| 1051s | ordered places um |
| 1053s | on the map where you can tend to predict |
| 1056s | what will happen |
| 1058s | so there's three things that we we need |
| 1060s | to do first of all we're going to get |
| 1061s | the thread that we came for because |
| 1062s | that's important |
| 1063s | so i'm going to pick that up |
| 1065s | and drop it down by my |
| 1067s | character |
| 1069s | and not off screen so people can see it |
| 1074s | then |
| 1075s | i'm going to |
| 1078s | advance the escalation track which i |
| 1080s | have to do every time we explore a car |
| 1083s | uh |
| 1084s | major region that's this track off to |
| 1086s | the side with the the runescape token on |
| 1088s | it so that moves up by one so the moment |
| 1091s | that's not doing anything fortunately |
| 1093s | when this token gets to the top of the |
| 1095s | track we'll draw a campaign card which |
| 1097s | are the cards just above it |
| 1099s | these tend to be quite nasty they tend |
| 1102s | to be in in this case it'll be something |
| 1104s | to do with count draenor being a vampire |
| 1107s | and drinking blood and generally being |
| 1108s | not nice person |
| 1111s | and it makes the game board a more |
| 1112s | dangerous place to be so the longer we |
| 1114s | spend on it the more time the more |
| 1116s | dangerous things get the more |
| 1118s | um the longer we're not dealing with |
| 1120s | current draenor the more problems he |
| 1122s | causes |
| 1124s | we haven't got it off the track yet so |
| 1125s | we don't need to worry about that just |
| 1126s | now |
| 1128s | um the other thing we can do is |
| 1131s | like we've seen in province regions we |
| 1133s | can gain experience |
| 1134s | except this time we gain them by |
| 1136s | spending coins |
| 1138s | and it shows on the banner uh banners to |
| 1140s | the side |
| 1141s | uh which |
| 1143s | ex which skills we can get experiencing |
| 1147s | uh in falador's case we can get a |
| 1150s | crafting experience for one coin |
| 1152s | gathering experience or two cooking |
| 1154s | experience also for two to a maximum of |
| 1156s | one |
| 1157s | for each different skill |
| 1160s | so we need to make a decision here about |
| 1162s | what |
| 1162s | experience we're gonna get uh since |
| 1165s | we're just about to take a crafting cast |
| 1166s | for the leather body i'm definitely |
| 1168s | gonna spend that coin |
| 1170s | uh to gain one experience in |
| 1173s | uh crafting |
| 1176s | which brings me just shy of leveling |
| 1178s | that skill |
| 1180s | uh i can also get cooking from |
| 1183s | fardor that's more expensive that's two |
| 1185s | coins but i will level it up if i spend |
| 1187s | the coins so i'm gonna do that i'm gonna |
| 1189s | spend the two coins |
| 1191s | i'm gonna get my one experience here the |
| 1193s | third one would be placed there |
| 1195s | they would all be |
| 1197s | removed |
| 1201s | i'm cooking with with level up to three |
| 1203s | which is nice |
| 1205s | so that's us finished exploring uh |
| 1207s | falador |
| 1208s | well with turns not finished yet because |
| 1210s | we want to try not we've now got the the |
| 1211s | resources we need we can try and upgrade |
| 1213s | this leather body so |
| 1216s | uh let's see how we let's see how we get |
| 1218s | on uh jamie if you could roll me some |
| 1220s | dice off screen again so i can cheat |
| 1222s | yes need how many dicks are up |
| 1224s | uh i have crafting too and it's a |
| 1226s | complexity too so two dice |
| 1233s | great we didn't even have to cheat |
| 1234s | you're all the six so six is what we |
| 1236s | need to pass the test |
| 1239s | um |
| 1240s | so we so we've passed that |
| 1242s | past class effect as we collect uh vault |
| 1244s | car 20 discard of the all the resources |
| 1247s | listed above and this card so we've got |
| 1249s | to get rid of the thread the metal and |
| 1252s | two of our leather |
| 1257s | we have |
| 1258s | upgraded our leather body so that's |
| 1260s | that's now gone and we now have the nice |
| 1264s | uber protective studded body |
| 1267s | which gives us more protection against |
| 1270s | uh defense skill tests with higher |
| 1272s | complexity |
| 1273s | so that was good |
| 1275s | and |
| 1276s | like all other skill tests we've been |
| 1278s | with we've taken it so we've gained an |
| 1279s | experience in crafting that's the third |
| 1282s | one there we go excellent that will now |
| 1284s | level up as well |
| 1285s | so that was a |
| 1286s | fairly |
| 1287s | fruitful turn |
| 1292s | and with that |
| 1294s | the scale return is finished and we go |
| 1296s | back to |
| 1297s | the night |
| 1299s | just before we do that |
| 1301s | yeah sure that's what i should say just |
| 1303s | before we jump into that we've mentioned |
| 1304s | develop deck a couple of times it's |
| 1306s | probably just good we're spending a |
| 1307s | minute talking about that in general |
| 1308s | because we've drawn |
| 1309s | both the morgan card and we drew the |
| 1311s | studded leather as well from the vault |
| 1313s | deck um so there's actually quite a lot |
| 1315s | of different kinds of cards you can find |
| 1317s | in the vault deck there you'll only ever |
| 1319s | draw cards from the vault deck when |
| 1320s | you're instructed to buy the game it's |
| 1321s | where we store a lot of the games kind |
| 1322s | of episodic um both narrative and |
| 1325s | upgraded versions of equipment it's also |
| 1327s | where we'll store things like additional |
| 1329s | exploration cards that can get shuffled |
| 1331s | into the next year in the game it stores |
| 1332s | quite a lot of things that we want to |
| 1333s | keep hidden for the time being um |
| 1336s | we also thought it'd be quite comical to |
| 1337s | leave the gnome child on top there's |
| 1338s | actually no mechanic in the game that |
| 1340s | tells you to draw the gnome child card |
| 1341s | so it's going to stare at you the whole |
| 1342s | time um okay so you're supposed to tell |
| 1345s | people that that was meant to be a |
| 1346s | secret |
| 1348s | it was just too funny to me i just |
| 1349s | enjoyed it quite a lot um |
| 1358s | so what we can do now is we can get on |
| 1359s | with the knight's second turn um so what |
| 1361s | the knight wants to do |
| 1362s | is start moving towards their side quest |
| 1364s | as well which is the bandit hunting card |
| 1366s | then |
| 1368s | the bottom left-hand corner so that what |
| 1369s | they're gonna do is start moving towards |
| 1370s | the black knights fortress and towards |
| 1373s | that they've got quite a long way to go |
| 1374s | but they're happy to just do some |
| 1375s | exploration along the way so we're going |
| 1377s | to move the knights from draenor village |
| 1378s | over to draenor manor which is just |
| 1380s | quite just next to it and hopefully not |
| 1382s | pumping to countering or in the process |
| 1384s | yes indeed well it's funny you mentioned |
| 1386s | that so what we're going to do is |
| 1387s | because we haven't currently got a quest |
| 1388s | interacts with draenorman and what we're |
| 1390s | going to do is we're going to draw an |
| 1391s | exploration card for uh for lumbridge |
| 1393s | instead which we'll have drain our |
| 1394s | banner sections on it so uh let's have a |
| 1396s | look at the top card from lumbridge deck |
| 1398s | just draw that and bring it down here |
| 1401s | flip that over and we'll read from the |
| 1403s | lumber section now um you'll notice that |
| 1406s | there's a section for general village |
| 1407s | and the wizards tower lumbridge would uh |
| 1409s | sorry not number sorry uh draenor mana |
| 1411s | would actually come at the top of this |
| 1412s | card but it says random event |
| 1414s | okay so sometimes you'll see cards that |
| 1416s | say draw a random event now where the |
| 1418s | exploration cards are normally coded to |
| 1420s | the area you draw them from so for |
| 1422s | draenor village train or mana you know |
| 1424s | the wizards tower those are in the |
| 1425s | lumbridge deck and you'll very much |
| 1426s | encounter thematic |
| 1428s | elements that are specific to those |
| 1430s | regions of the game board if you're in |
| 1432s | you know the wizards tower you'll |
| 1433s | probably interact with wizard for |
| 1434s | example to take a really clear one when |
| 1437s | it says to draw a random event this is |
| 1438s | when something completely random that |
| 1440s | can happen to say you might run into the |
| 1442s | evil chicken or you might run into the |
| 1444s | sandwich lady for example something |
| 1446s | completely off script and off region can |
| 1448s | occur there so in this instance we've |
| 1450s | drawn an event card and i'm going to |
| 1451s | flip it over and let you have a read of |
| 1453s | that let's do |
| 1455s | just going off the side over here there |
| 1458s | you go give coins for sword plz the |
| 1460s | goateed man says with a blank expression |
| 1462s | on his default features |
| 1465s | you may take him up on his offer by |
| 1466s | discarding two coins if you do collect |
| 1468s | vault card 33 and remove this card from |
| 1471s | the game |
| 1473s | okay so in this instance this is a good |
| 1476s | example of where you've got a choice for |
| 1477s | the players that isn't related to a |
| 1478s | skill test you actually get to decide |
| 1480s | whether you're going to do this based on |
| 1481s | the resources that you have um you'll |
| 1483s | get choices like this quite often in the |
| 1485s | board game not all of them are good um |
| 1486s | so some some |
| 1488s | we're going to be very intentionally |
| 1489s | this occasion we're going to not draw |
| 1491s | that card because i want to leave that |
| 1492s | bit of content for another time but it's |
| 1493s | just to give you an example of the kind |
| 1495s | of things that you can run into in the |
| 1496s | event deck |
| 1497s | and some other places in the game um |
| 1500s | that would result |
| 1501s | or not all of them again |
| 1503s | not definitely not all of them are good |
| 1505s | yes um quite a lot of them are you can |
| 1507s | find some very cool equipment |
| 1510s | definitely definitely yeah um |
| 1512s | okay so um |
| 1514s | so the knights has moved and has done |
| 1516s | their explanation because we've now |
| 1517s | resolved their exploration card and i |
| 1520s | believe that's gonna end their turn |
| 1523s | okay |
| 1523s | yeah |
| 1525s | so |
| 1527s | we now want to move on to the wizard |
| 1529s | once again |
| 1531s | right so we're back to the wizard |
| 1534s | the wizard now is in a region adjacent |
| 1536s | to the goblin village so that's where |
| 1538s | we'll be going |
| 1539s | do we move there we have a quest that um |
| 1543s | requires us to be in that region so |
| 1545s | we'll not be exploring we'll be doing |
| 1546s | the quest so let's bring up goblin |
| 1548s | diplomacy |
| 1550s | uh or raven if you if you will |
| 1555s | um can we read out again or am i doing |
| 1557s | the next page oh we've uh |
| 1558s | uh |
| 1560s | uh |
| 1561s | dealer's choice |
| 1563s | uh so we had a read of this before so we |
| 1566s | probably want to read the set the middle |
| 1567s | section onwards that's okay |
| 1569s | so if this adventure is in goblin |
| 1571s | village they can perform the following |
| 1574s | action |
| 1575s | steal their old clothes and present them |
| 1578s | back the generals as an alternative |
| 1579s | option |
| 1581s | i've got a skill check of |
| 1583s | one complexity |
| 1585s | against a target of five thieving |
| 1588s | yeah so we've got we've got we've got a |
| 1591s | skill one which gives uh sorry skill uh |
| 1594s | theme skill two which actually lets us |
| 1595s | roll three days because that's higher |
| 1598s | um and we only need to get one five to |
| 1600s | successfully swipe the general's clothes |
| 1603s | and |
| 1604s | present them back to them as if it's a |
| 1606s | new shiny option for their |
| 1608s | um colors for their stripe to wear |
| 1611s | we've got a seven so we've passed that |
| 1614s | excellent |
| 1615s | let's bring the quest back up we've |
| 1616s | passed |
| 1619s | uh if you could read the pass effect |
| 1621s | please |
| 1622s | the goblins agree that brown is best the |
| 1625s | quest is complete |
| 1626s | [Music] |
| 1628s | terrific so when we pass a quest we gain |
| 1632s | the rewards showing the top the the |
| 1634s | banner on the top in this case we'll get |
| 1636s | five experience in thieving plus the one |
| 1639s | that we just got from taking the test so |
| 1640s | six in total and two coins |
| 1643s | so that immediately gives us |
| 1645s | two levels in thieving |
| 1651s | and they say the crown doesn't pay |
| 1653s | [Laughter] |
| 1656s | i think we've gained three levels and |
| 1658s | thieving |
| 1662s | there we go |
| 1663s | so completing sidequests give |
| 1665s | great rewards compared with just |
| 1667s | exploring but there are certain |
| 1668s | criterias you need to meet to finish |
| 1670s | them in this case go to some goblins and |
| 1672s | swipe some clothes some of them are |
| 1674s | considerably harder to consider really |
| 1676s | more time |
| 1677s | some of them like goblin diplomacy can |
| 1679s | be finished quite quickly and quite |
| 1680s | easily |
| 1682s | it varies from side quest to side quest |
| 1684s | we've also got our two coins |
| 1692s | and that |
| 1694s | because we didn't explore the region we |
| 1696s | don't get to um |
| 1699s | use the scaling point we would need to |
| 1700s | stay here next turn to explore it to get |
| 1702s | to use that feature um |
| 1705s | we've got nothing else to do that's the |
| 1706s | turn finished |
| 1708s | okay just to cover up one of the things |
| 1710s | that we didn't see during those turns um |
| 1712s | so when on when you exploring around the |
| 1715s | game board we did come across like a |
| 1717s | skilling icon when we went to ice |
| 1718s | mountain and we saw how you can spend |
| 1720s | resources to gain experience in cooking |
| 1722s | um in the different regions of the game |
| 1724s | board you'll notice that they're not |
| 1725s | just skilling icons there's actually |
| 1726s | number resource icons as well um when |
| 1728s | you explore those regions instead of |
| 1731s | gaining you know spending resources to |
| 1732s | gain skills you quite simply just gain |
| 1734s | that resource to add to your character |
| 1735s | instead so let's say for example um when |
| 1738s | the knight had moved um |
| 1740s | to |
| 1741s | uh i just realized i missed that when |
| 1742s | you moved to draenor manor what actually |
| 1744s | should have done there is um giving you |
| 1746s | um a herb resource as well because you |
| 1748s | just picked that up along the way so in |
| 1750s | addition to actually pulling an |
| 1751s | exploration card you'd have just gained |
| 1752s | that resource just removing that area |
| 1754s | and those also are kind of themed |
| 1757s | exactly free stuff |
| 1758s | there's a theme to the area you move |
| 1759s | into so if you move to the farmland |
| 1761s | you're getting some eggs for instance |
| 1764s | if you're going through carefully then |
| 1765s | inevitably you kill some cows at the cow |
| 1767s | fields on your way through that sort of |
| 1768s | thing |
| 1769s | exactly exactly you've got it you've got |
| 1771s | it okay so um what that's gonna do is |
| 1773s | that's gonna |
| 1774s | nothing nothing wasted result so that's |
| 1776s | that's gonna bring us to the to the end |
| 1777s | of the scripture turns onto the main |
| 1778s | game board um what we're going to do |
| 1781s | move on to a moment is we can actually |
| 1783s | have a look at how boss fight works now |
| 1784s | so what would happen um on the main game |
| 1788s | board is is you noticed on the vampire |
| 1789s | slayer campaign board and i've put an rs |
| 1791s | token by the speak to morgan element |
| 1793s | because we completed that earlier once |
| 1795s | you've completed all these objectives |
| 1796s | and filled the board with the rs tokens |
| 1798s | all the way down um towards the bottom |
| 1800s | so you've grabbed the stake you've got |
| 1802s | the hammer etc wreath of garlic and |
| 1803s | spoken to dr harlow |
| 1805s | then you'd come to the bottom area which |
| 1807s | is to is to actually go and have the |
| 1809s | encounter with cat draenor himself |
| 1811s | and where a player character needs to |
| 1812s | any one of the player characters can |
| 1814s | just move on to the draenor manor um |
| 1816s | space and that kicks off the the boss |
| 1819s | fight elements of the campaign |
| 1822s | okay so and so what we'll do is we're |
| 1824s | just going to pan right over to where |
| 1826s | we've set up a little boss fight to have |
| 1827s | a look up a concerns of how that works |
| 1829s | um i think as well it's probably a good |
| 1830s | idea to just have a good zoom in if you |
| 1832s | want to and have a good look at that |
| 1833s | count drain or miniaturize because i |
| 1834s | believe we've only just shown that off |
| 1836s | today i think you can go and have a look |
| 1837s | at the |
| 1838s | the vlogs that you've shown off today as |
| 1840s | well if people want to go and have a |
| 1841s | look at that miniature |
| 1843s | okay |
| 1845s | it's a good time we need to update the |
| 1846s | one in game |
| 1852s | we've had i believe we had russ charles |
| 1854s | on with us on some of the the week for |
| 1856s | streams with us um already but |
| 1858s | when we came on again we can definitely |
| 1859s | ask him some good questions about kind |
| 1861s | of what the inspirations were behind a |
| 1862s | number of the scopes that i look at and |
| 1864s | the bosses in particular it's been |
| 1865s | really fun to take a number of different |
| 1867s | visual references um from from a |
| 1869s | combination actually of runescape and |
| 1870s | also runescape there to create an |
| 1872s | interesting visual |
| 1873s | um it's not it's not really distinctly |
| 1875s | one or the other |
| 1876s | okay so um so we're going to have a look |
| 1879s | at a couple of turns of how boss fight |
| 1880s | works now um now these are quite |
| 1882s | different to how it works on the game |
| 1883s | board what we've tried to to bring |
| 1884s | across as many of the game mechanics as |
| 1886s | possible to keep it familiar so skill |
| 1888s | test is still a thing when it comes to |
| 1889s | boss fight for example um whereas you've |
| 1892s | got this kind of fast travel view of how |
| 1893s | the main game board works we really |
| 1895s | wanted to zoom into like an encounter or |
| 1897s | instance level perspective for how the |
| 1899s | boss fights work and really get you to |
| 1900s | grips with them so it can give you a an |
| 1902s | exciting interesting and different |
| 1904s | experience that's suited to that in |
| 1906s | particular boss so when it comes to |
| 1907s | current draenor we've very much set the |
| 1909s | game board the boss board that you're |
| 1910s | fighting him on as being in the crypt of |
| 1913s | count the crypt of draenor manor um and |
| 1915s | the terrain card that they're obviously |
| 1916s | specific to countering us you've got a |
| 1918s | coffin you've got some piles of bones in |
| 1920s | the corners of the room that are going |
| 1921s | to impact the fight in different ways |
| 1925s | in terms of how the turn order works uh |
| 1928s | it's it's quite similar to the game as |
| 1930s | well in terms of that you'll each get to |
| 1931s | take a turn you'll get to move and then |
| 1934s | pick one from the list of actions when |
| 1936s | it comes to your turn i think at this |
| 1937s | point i'm going to pass up the phrase |
| 1938s | just to talk us through how some of |
| 1940s | those actions work and to show us |
| 1941s | through the first turn of this combat |
| 1943s | actually |
| 1945s | right cool so like jamie said we can |
| 1948s | move and we can do an action moving is |
| 1951s | fairly simple so explain that first you |
| 1953s | can move one space uh along um a flat |
| 1956s | edge |
| 1957s | not diagonally or corner to corner um |
| 1962s | done that's it easy |
| 1964s | um |
| 1965s | the other thing you can do like in the |
| 1967s | mean |
| 1967s | the main campaign is after you've moved |
| 1970s | you can do an action |
| 1972s | but unlike the campaign |
| 1974s | um each boss fight has a bespoke list of |
| 1977s | combat actions that you can pick from to |
| 1979s | do and they'll each be skill tests and |
| 1981s | they'll each tell you what happens uh |
| 1983s | when you pass them there are never a |
| 1985s | fail effects uh in these it's always |
| 1987s | past it's always passes |
| 1989s | so we see here we've got a melee test a |
| 1993s | range test and a magic test all of these |
| 1995s | inflict damage uh on count draenor and |
| 1998s | so we'll need to land |
| 2000s | several of these uh to try and win the |
| 2002s | fight in reducing to zero health we can |
| 2004s | also use our gathering skill and our |
| 2006s | thieving skills to influence |
| 2009s | the the battleground in other ways |
| 2012s | and these can change from fight to fight |
| 2014s | quite dramatically |
| 2016s | to give you a consistent experience in |
| 2018s | terms of |
| 2020s | um what you what you do but a differing |
| 2023s | experience in terms of what your role is |
| 2025s | in the fight depending on what skills |
| 2027s | you've levelled up and how they interact |
| 2028s | with each individual fight |
| 2031s | the first turn we're going to take uh is |
| 2034s | the mages as determined by the |
| 2036s | initiative track so we'll come back to |
| 2038s | the game board and we'll have a look at |
| 2039s | these row of cards around down the |
| 2040s | bottom |
| 2041s | this is the initiative track which is |
| 2043s | shuffled and dealt a new ev every every |
| 2045s | round and it determines the turn order |
| 2048s | first initiative card up is the wizard |
| 2051s | the wizard takes first turn |
| 2053s | uh wizard is up here on the top uh |
| 2056s | uh mod raven uh what we're going to do |
| 2058s | is we're going to move the wizard to the |
| 2060s | left |
| 2061s | onto the bones card |
| 2064s | bones card is a little bit risky to move |
| 2066s | on to but we'll deal with that if it |
| 2068s | comes up which it might not given that i |
| 2071s | know the future because we scripted |
| 2072s | these |
| 2073s | um so that's the move |
| 2075s | now it's going to do the |
| 2077s | um my magic attack combat action |
| 2081s | um |
| 2082s | the wizard has |
| 2084s | uh magic of three |
| 2086s | so we get equal to the complexity so we |
| 2089s | can roll two dice for this |
| 2092s | uh we'll roll the dice and then pretend |
| 2094s | that one of them was at least a six |
| 2098s | it was |
| 2100s | thankfully |
| 2102s | so we've inflicted one point of damage |
| 2104s | on current draenor |
| 2106s | so we'll have a look at the top um board |
| 2109s | here we see we've got two health tracks |
| 2111s | uh one for the adventurers and one for |
| 2113s | the boss when we inflict a wound we move |
| 2116s | the we move the token down one if we |
| 2118s | inflict two moons we move it down two |
| 2120s | etc |
| 2121s | uh we're |
| 2122s | usually the goal in a boss fight will be |
| 2124s | to reduce their health to zero at which |
| 2125s | point you've won the fight while |
| 2127s | avoiding your health being reduced to |
| 2129s | zero |
| 2130s | uh in addition to the the wound we've |
| 2132s | inflicted um the special another effect |
| 2135s | of passing the |
| 2136s | magic attack skill test is we've blasted |
| 2138s | count draenor away |
| 2140s | so we'll take cameron push him away |
| 2144s | uh |
| 2145s | since the magic attack is reasonably |
| 2147s | short range it's usually a good idea to |
| 2149s | keep your radar away from uh the wizard |
| 2151s | afterwards so that's kind of nice |
| 2155s | that brings the wizard's turn to an end |
| 2157s | so we'll look back to the initiative |
| 2159s | track |
| 2160s | uh the next uh card |
| 2162s | is the encounter in our behavior card |
| 2164s | lash out so i'm gonna pass you back to |
| 2166s | jamie who will take on the role of kevin |
| 2168s | draynor for this fight |
| 2171s | okay so um country now is going to be |
| 2174s | moving one space and it shows a little |
| 2176s | gray symbol there which is an arrow it's |
| 2178s | going to be one space towards the |
| 2179s | adventures initiative card to the left |
| 2180s | which means it's going to move one space |
| 2181s | towards the wizard because that's the |
| 2183s | card which means it's going to be one |
| 2185s | space back up to here which is into the |
| 2187s | same space as the knight |
| 2190s | okay um once card drainer has moved |
| 2192s | they're going to be attacking |
| 2193s | horizontally which means that they're |
| 2194s | going to hit all three of these spaces |
| 2196s | where the knight is where the coffin is |
| 2198s | and where the skiller is um so you'll |
| 2200s | notice about a lot of the bosses attacks |
| 2202s | that they do hit quite a wide area so |
| 2204s | choosing where you stand is going to be |
| 2206s | quite an important part of the tactics |
| 2207s | here um |
| 2209s | so because the uh the boss doesn't |
| 2211s | actually roll dice we're still using our |
| 2213s | skill test we mentioned from earlier |
| 2215s | while that's going to happen it's going |
| 2216s | to cause both of those adventurers the |
| 2217s | knight and the skiller to have to take |
| 2219s | defense tests at complex c3 um and |
| 2222s | requiring a seven or more to pass it if |
| 2225s | this is where if there's a failure state |
| 2227s | is that you're going to suffer a wound |
| 2228s | because that means you fail to defend |
| 2229s | the attack and cap drain or has hit you |
| 2231s | so if we can have both the knight and |
| 2233s | the skill of taking those defense tests |
| 2234s | i think we can do the knight first whose |
| 2236s | defense is three which means because |
| 2238s | your skill is equal to the complexity |
| 2240s | you get to roll two dice |
| 2242s | and try to get a seven on one of them |
| 2244s | uh if you want to do that first mods do |
| 2247s | sure okay so two of these dots up |
| 2255s | here okay so in this instance you would |
| 2257s | have failed the test because we didn't |
| 2258s | get a seven which means that the party |
| 2260s | together will have suffered a wound so |
| 2262s | whereas it's whereas on the main game |
| 2264s | board uh each adventure has health |
| 2266s | individually uh when it comes to a boss |
| 2268s | fight it's it's success or failure |
| 2270s | together so everyone has a combined |
| 2271s | health pool um one thing that's |
| 2273s | interesting to note is |
| 2275s | the more damage the players have |
| 2276s | suffered on the campaign on the main |
| 2277s | sort of game board that that transfers |
| 2279s | into the boss fight with you so let's |
| 2280s | say that players would start on 20 |
| 2282s | health normally but between us we'd |
| 2284s | suffered five damage that means that our |
| 2286s | starting health and the boss i would be |
| 2287s | 15 instead of 20. so it's worth keeping |
| 2289s | track of the individual health as well |
| 2292s | okay we also need to have a defense |
| 2294s | skill test for the skiller as well |
| 2296s | and i believe the skiller has only one |
| 2299s | defense |
| 2300s | but they have these would actually have |
| 2302s | this studded leather body from earlier |
| 2304s | wouldn't they |
| 2305s | uh yep we would have that so we would |
| 2307s | actually get to add the special dice |
| 2309s | which is this um |
| 2310s | orange one on the bottom |
| 2316s | [Music] |
| 2320s | i get drilled both of these dice |
| 2323s | that one failed |
| 2325s | and that one was a success |
| 2328s | um had they both failed i could have |
| 2330s | relied on my |
| 2332s | garlic wreath the one of the uh |
| 2335s | equipment cards that we got we would |
| 2337s | have gotten during the the main campaign |
| 2340s | portion of the quest to have rerolled |
| 2342s | the dice of my choice so i could have |
| 2343s | rerolled one of them to try have another |
| 2344s | quote passing it |
| 2349s | okay |
| 2351s | so i believe that brings count draenor's |
| 2353s | turned to an end which means we go back |
| 2355s | to the next card of initiative track |
| 2356s | which is the skiller |
| 2359s | so |
| 2360s | um the scaler being who they are has not |
| 2362s | really leveled many |
| 2364s | combat stats the |
| 2367s | the melee the magic the range the |
| 2369s | defense so the skiller is not like |
| 2371s | feeling much like attacking don doesn't |
| 2373s | feel like it'll do |
| 2374s | all that much damage |
| 2376s | what they can do though is use one of |
| 2378s | the |
| 2379s | other skills uh the thieving or the |
| 2381s | gathering to |
| 2383s | um interact with the game with the the |
| 2385s | game board in a different way uh in this |
| 2388s | case we're going to use sleight of hand |
| 2389s | and i'll tell you why just now the next |
| 2393s | count drainer card on the initiative |
| 2395s | track is regenerate |
| 2396s | which allows which would count general |
| 2398s | will heal |
| 2400s | unless they have been wounded this round |
| 2403s | by an attack made with whichever |
| 2405s | adventurer has the stake which is the |
| 2407s | knight |
| 2408s | unfortunately the way that this |
| 2409s | initiative track was dealt the night's |
| 2411s | turn is going to be after the regenerate |
| 2414s | behavior so i'm going to use the sleight |
| 2416s | of hand |
| 2418s | uh to try and swap the places of those |
| 2422s | two cards to try and let the knight take |
| 2423s | their turn first to prevent the |
| 2424s | regenerate from uh actually killing |
| 2427s | countering or any any uh |
| 2430s | wounds |
| 2431s | so |
| 2432s | i've got |
| 2434s | a skill of three and it's complexity two |
| 2436s | so i get |
| 2437s | three die |
| 2439s | three dice |
| 2441s | and i'm looking for at least one six |
| 2444s | which i got on the on the zero which is |
| 2445s | a ten |
| 2448s | so i'm going to swap the knight with |
| 2451s | regenerate |
| 2460s | and that's the skillers turn finished as |
| 2461s | much as the skiller didn't do any damage |
| 2464s | or do anything |
| 2465s | particularly flashy they have set the |
| 2468s | initiative track up um for the whole |
| 2470s | party to be successful |
| 2473s | i appreciate the sailors finish |
| 2478s | it's a team game we've mentioned |
| 2479s | cooperative once or twice |
| 2482s | um |
| 2483s | the |
| 2484s | scaler's finished um normally would be a |
| 2486s | country in our term but because we've |
| 2488s | used sleight of hand it's now another |
| 2490s | adventurous turn |
| 2491s | the night |
| 2493s | hey i'm helping |
| 2496s | so as we mentioned previously um |
| 2500s | we want the knight to be attacking |
| 2501s | country or with the melee action where |
| 2503s | they can use the stake |
| 2505s | milli action you need to be in the same |
| 2506s | space scandrino which they already are |
| 2509s | so we'll use the |
| 2510s | so we'll bring up the |
| 2512s | um |
| 2515s | the combat actions list again to have a |
| 2517s | look at melee attack which is complexity |
| 2519s | 5 |
| 2520s | and |
| 2521s | difficulty eight so that's normally |
| 2523s | really really hard fortunately we just |
| 2525s | had a look at the state card which |
| 2528s | lowers the complexity by two and the |
| 2532s | target number by three |
| 2534s | so actually this will be a complexity |
| 2537s | three on target number five test |
| 2540s | much easier |
| 2542s | uh we'll |
| 2543s | um since the knight has a skill four and |
| 2546s | melee higher we'll get roll three dice |
| 2549s | uh looking for fives |
| 2551s | uh so mod raven if you would like to |
| 2553s | roll |
| 2554s | or more special monsters this is the |
| 2555s | neighbor's mods too |
| 2557s | yes right |
| 2558s | so |
| 2560s | i can use the stay camera as well for |
| 2561s | like some sort of combo |
| 2564s | uh the statements the camera it doesn't |
| 2566s | have any effects on itself it just |
| 2567s | allows you to equip the oh i see it okay |
| 2570s | cool so we're using so it's all all of |
| 2572s | the |
| 2573s | effect is printed on the stake |
| 2575s | yeah |
| 2576s | so that's also worth pointing out as |
| 2578s | well that the the knights does have the |
| 2580s | long bronze long sword but the bronze |
| 2581s | alongside wouldn't it it would only work |
| 2583s | on complexity tests of two or lower so |
| 2584s | it's not gonna convection eye here but |
| 2586s | luckily you don't need it because you've |
| 2587s | just drilled some damage quite nicely on |
| 2588s | those dice yeah |
| 2590s | it was off screen but honestly i did |
| 2591s | just roll these for real |
| 2593s | quite high |
| 2596s | so |
| 2598s | something to know i'm glad you did that |
| 2600s | uh in boss in boss fights typically each |
| 2603s | individual success inflicts a wounds |
| 2605s | unlike in the campaign skill test where |
| 2608s | usually you only need one dice to be |
| 2610s | successful and then it's pat and then |
| 2611s | it's a pass fail from from that point so |
| 2614s | we've done three wins to kevin draynor |
| 2616s | with that |
| 2617s | attack which is |
| 2618s | quite impressive |
| 2620s | it's high roll |
| 2623s | and that brings the next turn to an end |
| 2626s | uh we're back to count draenor for the |
| 2628s | regenerate behavior |
| 2631s | we are indeed okay so um so can't draino |
| 2633s | uh heals a wound if he was wounded by a |
| 2635s | melee attack with an adventure made by |
| 2637s | an adventure equipped with the stake |
| 2638s | this round this effect is not applied so |
| 2640s | because he was winded by the stake just |
| 2642s | now you won't actually get to regenerate |
| 2643s | wound um can't drain is going to move |
| 2645s | onto the coffin terrain now because we |
| 2647s | were quite clever and we've adjusted the |
| 2649s | turn sequence to make sure i was doing |
| 2650s | the coffin |
| 2651s | that means that he's actually going to |
| 2652s | be attacking nobody because he attacks |
| 2654s | the same space |
| 2655s | it's a good example there of how looking |
| 2657s | ahead at the behavior cards and |
| 2658s | adjusting the turn sequence and where |
| 2660s | people stood can certainly benefit quite |
| 2661s | a lot however um |
| 2664s | even though he's attacked nobody with |
| 2665s | regenerate because we've shifted the |
| 2667s | turnovers and we had two adventure |
| 2669s | returns in terms of the skill in the |
| 2671s | night |
| 2672s | country is now going to get to do the |
| 2673s | same thing so he's just to regenerate as |
| 2675s | a behavior he's now going to move |
| 2676s | straight on to |
| 2677s | eternal fury so he's going to move one |
| 2679s | space |
| 2680s | towards the initiative card to his left |
| 2682s | which on the track which is the knight |
| 2684s | is going to come back he's going to have |
| 2685s | his revenge |
| 2688s | okay once he's gotten there he's going |
| 2689s | to be attacking vertically which means |
| 2691s | he attacks in a row this way so he's |
| 2692s | going to hit the mage and he's going to |
| 2693s | hit the knights as well the wizard sorry |
| 2696s | um |
| 2697s | and he's going to be attacking you both |
| 2699s | you you need to take a defense skill |
| 2701s | test um where it's complexity 3 and you |
| 2703s | need to roll the seven |
| 2705s | okay so should we have the the knight |
| 2706s | taking that test first |
| 2708s | okay so just throw one |
| 2710s | so your defense is three which means |
| 2712s | it's equal to the to the complexity |
| 2714s | schedule two dice |
| 2721s | average solder blue average |
| 2725s | so as you said was 7 before so is that |
| 2727s | too low |
| 2728s | yeah that's too low so in this instance |
| 2730s | that's going to cause you to the party |
| 2732s | to suffer the group probably suffer a |
| 2733s | wound so you've gone down to |
| 2735s | 12 health for all of you together um so |
| 2738s | you failed that that skill test we also |
| 2740s | now need for the wizard for moderate to |
| 2743s | take a test as well |
| 2745s | unfortunately the wizard because i've |
| 2746s | got to send him to i get one time |
| 2749s | that's correct yes you need to one night |
| 2750s | this you can still pass it we just got a |
| 2751s | little bit less chance i did seven |
| 2754s | nice hold on sure on the night how it's |
| 2756s | done |
| 2757s | um |
| 2759s | so you'd pass the test and that would |
| 2761s | mean that you don't take any damage um |
| 2763s | that would bring us to the end of our |
| 2764s | round in the boss fight what we would |
| 2766s | now do is pick up all those cards we'd |
| 2767s | shuffle the initiative cards for the |
| 2770s | players and we'd shuffle the behavior |
| 2771s | cards we can't drain or and we'd deal |
| 2772s | them out again in the same row of |
| 2774s | adventure followed by a behavior card so |
| 2776s | it gives you a different um turn order |
| 2778s | for the players and it gives you a |
| 2780s | different turn order for account drainer |
| 2781s | you might also see some different |
| 2782s | behavior cards for caltrain because he |
| 2784s | has more than just three behavior cards |
| 2786s | so it can change from round to round um |
| 2788s | and what would happen there is the |
| 2789s | players would continue to to go through |
| 2791s | and take turns like that until either |
| 2792s | countdreader has been defeated by going |
| 2794s | to zero health or the players have been |
| 2795s | defeated by also zero health um |
| 2798s | the |
| 2799s | other thing to point out is that if you |
| 2801s | have a quick look at the boss fights |
| 2803s | behavior the boss's behavior sorry uh |
| 2805s | the health um won't be tracking health |
| 2807s | um the fight number five is highlighted |
| 2810s | and that's because um in some boss |
| 2812s | fights they'll get to a certain point of |
| 2814s | health and they'll trigger particular |
| 2816s | mechanic and for um we can't drain or if |
| 2818s | we can bring up his reference sheet he |
| 2819s | has something called enrage effectively |
| 2822s | means he's realized that he's being |
| 2824s | overwhelmed he's starting to lose this |
| 2825s | fight he's going to get really angry and |
| 2826s | decides to |
| 2828s | change the game up this is where he'll |
| 2830s | jump into his coffin he's going to slam |
| 2831s | the door shut behind him and try to |
| 2833s | generate some health and then what we |
| 2834s | see from these um bones cards in the |
| 2837s | corners is they're going to flip over |
| 2838s | and become skeletons for you to fight |
| 2840s | and things get a little bit more |
| 2840s | difficult for you |
| 2845s | that's it yeah so basically what you |
| 2846s | have to at that point is someone with a |
| 2847s | high crafting skill has to come off the |
| 2849s | coffin and just literally wedge the |
| 2850s | coffin back over again to get cat drain |
| 2852s | or out um and the longer count drainage |
| 2854s | in there the more health he's going to |
| 2855s | regenerate whilst you whilst you start |
| 2856s | fending off these skeletons um so it |
| 2858s | kind of it it really changes up the |
| 2861s | the pace of what's going on in the fight |
| 2864s | now this technically would have happened |
| 2865s | because we did |
| 2866s | sorry |
| 2868s | i say so you you can't skip that it has |
| 2870s | to happen if you drop the low five it |
| 2872s | still has to happen so you go from six |
| 2874s | to four |
| 2875s | that's correct |
| 2876s | yeah that's correct the reason i'm |
| 2877s | pointing out is because technically we |
| 2878s | would have had to play through that but |
| 2880s | uh me and fraser didn't actually |
| 2882s | anticipate us rolling so well on our |
| 2883s | attacks that we would actually trigger |
| 2884s | that rage um it's well done for that |
| 2888s | but i just feel like it was worth |
| 2889s | explaining because that's what would |
| 2890s | have happened normally had we've been |
| 2891s | playing through the game and fall |
| 2894s | okay that actually brings us to the end |
| 2896s | of our scripted turns we've kind of |
| 2898s | shown you the vast majority of the |
| 2899s | mechanics in the in the base game at |
| 2901s | this point um |
| 2903s | so that gives you kind of a good |
| 2904s | understanding of the kind of things |
| 2905s | you're going to be playing through we've |
| 2906s | only seen things obviously we've only |
| 2908s | seen things once um |
| 2910s | there's other elements to the game like |
| 2911s | you'll see the at the exploration decks |
| 2914s | evolving over time as more cards are |
| 2916s | shuffled in this as we mentioned the |
| 2918s | sort of the threat of the game board |
| 2919s | enhanced increases over over multiple |
| 2921s | turns as the longer it takes for us to |
| 2923s | get to can't drain out the more |
| 2924s | dangerous the game body is to move |
| 2925s | around on that means the motivation |
| 2927s | cards get shuffled in something called |
| 2929s | danger tokens come out of the game board |
| 2930s | or that makes your skill test more risky |
| 2933s | and other stuff that happens as well but |
| 2935s | we've really sort of taken through the |
| 2936s | majority of |
| 2938s | the software the basic stuff of the |
| 2939s | different terms of term so i guess |
| 2941s | really like careful from what's doing my |
| 2943s | raven how did you how did you feel about |
| 2944s | that and have you any kind of questions |
| 2946s | for us before we before we end the |
| 2947s | stream |
| 2950s | um personally |
| 2952s | a lot of fun |
| 2953s | um yeah |
| 2954s | i appreciate that it ties into a lot of |
| 2957s | um recognizable elements from runescape |
| 2958s | you've um got the elements from the |
| 2961s | quests themselves and so forth uh |
| 2963s | recognizable areas on the map um it |
| 2966s | feels very |
| 2967s | grounded and um |
| 2970s | yeah fairly intuitive mechanics there's |
| 2972s | certainly a lot of different elements |
| 2973s | you can play around with here um yeah |
| 2975s | i'm a fan you need to give it more of a |
| 2977s | go |
| 2978s | i'll put your rovin |
| 2980s | i definitely like the uh little side |
| 2982s | quest mechanics |
| 2985s | i can see myself being terribly |
| 2986s | obnoxious by just doing those all the |
| 2988s | time |
| 2989s | leonis is going no no we need to fight |
| 2991s | the vampire like no i need to bake a |
| 2993s | cake |
| 2996s | a variety of these quests |
| 2999s | we definitely have yeah uh and we've |
| 3001s | really wanted to give players kind of um |
| 3003s | the opportunity to |
| 3005s | kind of be indulge themselves as many |
| 3007s | different distractions as possible |
| 3008s | really so the side quests are really |
| 3009s | great example of that of they don't |
| 3011s | advance they don't really directly |
| 3012s | advance the campaign overall at all but |
| 3014s | they do give you a good amount of |
| 3016s | experience and and resources as you're |
| 3018s | going along and they're also just good |
| 3019s | fun and engaging with the narrative but |
| 3021s | but yeah it's kind of as you mentioned |
| 3023s | you can kind of just go i'm |
| 3024s | now you guys can all go and go and do |
| 3026s | the main quest meanwhile in the kitchen |
| 3029s | um |
| 3031s | is that okay so i don't know |
| 3033s | is there a reason |
| 3035s | for the |
| 3036s | orange dice to be separate is it just |
| 3038s | that that just means it's the special |
| 3040s | one you get from objects or does it have |
| 3042s | any kind of other functionality |
| 3045s | um for the time being it mainly just |
| 3047s | signifies that you're you're using it as |
| 3049s | it's being used with a piece of |
| 3050s | equipment now the reason we have to |
| 3052s | change the color for it is because there |
| 3053s | are often limitations on the lower level |
| 3055s | weapons you get so if we take the bronze |
| 3058s | long sword that's a good example it says |
| 3060s | you can add the weapon die to a melee |
| 3062s | test only it has to be complexity two or |
| 3064s | less but your maximum result is six so |
| 3066s | let's say for example you had a melee |
| 3068s | test where you had to get a seven or an |
| 3070s | eight the bronze long side wouldn't help |
| 3072s | you because it's not good enough it |
| 3073s | can't roll higher than a six okay um so |
| 3075s | it has a different color so that we know |
| 3076s | which die the equipment |
| 3081s | dies yeah that makes sense |
| 3084s | so i'm curious about this this very |
| 3086s | large card you got there for for vampire |
| 3087s | slayer which basically has the |
| 3088s | objectives to it um |
| 3090s | yeah maybe this is a quest i shouldn't |
| 3092s | be asking so feel free to stop me but |
| 3093s | does it just mean like there's multiple |
| 3095s | quest cards available and like you like |
| 3098s | roll one randomly at the start or is |
| 3100s | there one dedicated to a particular |
| 3102s | campaign story or |
| 3104s | yeah so so the the campaign board is if |
| 3107s | you think of uh imagine if you had a |
| 3108s | side quest that was that was really long |
| 3111s | which you actually do have some of those |
| 3112s | in the game what will happen is you'll |
| 3113s | get to the end of the first part of the |
| 3115s | side quest and you'll be told to draw |
| 3116s | the next card from the vault to continue |
| 3118s | the side quest when it came to the |
| 3120s | campaigns we really wanted you to have a |
| 3121s | holistic view of what's going on with |
| 3123s | the campaigns overall so this is kind of |
| 3125s | imagine if you've taken there's like |
| 3127s | there's like six cards worth of quests |
| 3129s | on that campaign board we wanted you to |
| 3130s | be able to see the whole quest at once |
| 3132s | as you're plotting through it um because |
| 3134s | if you say because you're working as a |
| 3135s | group together maybe if one of you is |
| 3137s | trying to complete the speak to dr |
| 3138s | harlow elements and they're trying to |
| 3140s | level up their thieving another player |
| 3141s | could look ahead at what's needed later |
| 3143s | in the quest and go oh at some point |
| 3144s | later on for the wreath of garlic we're |
| 3145s | going to need someone with a higher |
| 3146s | cooking skill so i'm going to focus on |
| 3148s | that element and i can kind of prepare |
| 3149s | for what's coming up and it's also |
| 3151s | um for say once you've spoken to dr |
| 3154s | harlow uh as a lot of runescape and also |
| 3156s | old-school runes get quests do they have |
| 3158s | yourself splitting off in different |
| 3159s | directions to go and go and find |
| 3160s | different things around the world um so |
| 3162s | the wreath of garlic the steak and the |
| 3164s | hammer those are all three quests that |
| 3166s | happen simultaneously so you can all |
| 3167s | split off and go okay i'm going to be |
| 3168s | the person that's best suited to go and |
| 3169s | get the hammer i'm the person that's |
| 3170s | best to go and get the stake etc and you |
| 3172s | can you can kind of divide and conquer |
| 3174s | as a team |
| 3175s | um does that design to your question or |
| 3177s | it does yeah yeah thank you |
| 3179s | so to determine sort of the order you're |
| 3181s | supposed to do them and it's sort of the |
| 3182s | sort of vertical rows or horizontal rows |
| 3185s | right |
| 3186s | and then yes multiple ones in the same |
| 3188s | row you can live in any order |
| 3190s | that's correct yeah that's correct so |
| 3191s | top top to bottom and then if they're on |
| 3193s | the same row any audio like |
| 3197s | this is going to be a noob question but |
| 3198s | um |
| 3199s | when you start the game each time do you |
| 3201s | start with all of the um levels and so |
| 3203s | forth off your character so it's |
| 3204s | essentially like a it's a |
| 3206s | it's a fresh character each time you |
| 3208s | time you play or is there maybe some |
| 3211s | game mode where you retain some of your |
| 3212s | skills and |
| 3213s | um |
| 3214s | the more variety and things you've |
| 3215s | unlocked |
| 3216s | it's a fantastic question so what we've |
| 3218s | got here for this example is we've kind |
| 3220s | of got a game in progress where |
| 3222s | for the final game that players receive |
| 3223s | there will be a tutorial island section |
| 3225s | which is quite literally as you'd expect |
| 3226s | a tutorial start the game where you'll |
| 3228s | be shown how the skills work you'll be |
| 3230s | walked through a skill test you'll gain |
| 3231s | some experience points to start you off |
| 3232s | and we've kind of for this example |
| 3234s | jumped you kind of more into the middle |
| 3235s | of the game just past tutorial islands |
| 3237s | you've already got |
| 3238s | your starting equipment you've already |
| 3239s | got |
| 3240s | a side quest to kick you off with um |
| 3244s | the the back end of that question when |
| 3246s | you come to the end of the campaign it's |
| 3248s | very much intended to roll end to end so |
| 3250s | once we finished facing can't drain or |
| 3252s | you retain any skills experience you |
| 3255s | retain any equipment and resources |
| 3257s | you've gained and you'll take those |
| 3258s | straight through into the next campaign |
| 3260s | as well and you'll roll on with an |
| 3261s | upwards the skill test will become more |
| 3263s | difficult the requirements that you need |
| 3265s | will become more difficult more |
| 3266s | exploration cards get shuffled and the |
| 3267s | game kind of evolves with you as you |
| 3269s | play from campaign to campaign and there |
| 3271s | is intended to be um whilst we've |
| 3274s | certainly tried to keep as much as |
| 3275s | possible to um to the narrative of the |
| 3278s | runescape video games taken as |
| 3279s | inspiration there are elements of the |
| 3281s | campaign narrative uh that we've |
| 3283s | iterated on to give you sort of like an |
| 3284s | overarching feeling as you work through |
| 3286s | the game we've already shown off um |
| 3288s | obviously the game is called shadow bell |
| 3290s | bargain we've already shown off the |
| 3291s | airbag miniature so you're working |
| 3292s | towards uh that dragon slayer quest as |
| 3294s | your final campaign in the core box but |
| 3296s | the other ones in between uh will also |
| 3299s | give you a bit of foreshadowing of how |
| 3300s | we've iterated on the story and change |
| 3302s | that to to really feature el barca so as |
| 3304s | you'll kind of you big badge to this to |
| 3306s | the story |
| 3307s | oh cool i like the explanation |
| 3313s | okay so um so yeah if there's a if |
| 3315s | there's any more questions or we can you |
| 3317s | can draw to a close for today because |
| 3319s | we've got plenty more to show we'll |
| 3320s | certainly be we'll be back again on |
| 3322s | future streams we'll be back to talking |
| 3324s | on the weekly streams i think we've also |
| 3325s | got uh blogs releasing each week i |
| 3327s | believe on a tuesday where you'll see |
| 3328s | new miniatures new game mechanics um |
| 3330s | where you can read about all this stuff |
| 3331s | as it comes out on a weekly basis um but |
| 3333s | uh if any more questions you can go |
| 3335s | through those as well |
| 3338s | let's suppose there any uh questions in |
| 3339s | the chat sphere |
| 3341s | you might have seen i imagine you've |
| 3342s | already been too busy moving pieces |
| 3344s | around |
| 3347s | also i'm not sure if he even is his |
| 3349s | audio on so i probably shouldn't have |
| 3350s | lost it well |
| 3351s | [Laughter] |
| 3356s | that's no problem |
| 3357s | okay i have another question from me |
| 3359s | from your raven |
| 3360s | uh no no it seems um |
| 3364s | straightforward to be honest um |
| 3365s | [Music] |
| 3368s | yeah no i can see how this would work i |
| 3369s | can see how it goes together i can see |
| 3372s | laughing maniacally as a becky cake um |
| 3377s | yeah no no okay nothing to mind |
| 3380s | so what we can do then is we can we can |
| 3382s | bring this to a close we can talk about |
| 3383s | all different ways that um that the fans |
| 3385s | can get involved so we have we have a |
| 3387s | facebook group where players can join |
| 3388s | you can come and speak to myself and ask |
| 3390s | any questions you've got about the game |
| 3391s | come and talk to talk to all the fans |
| 3393s | and speculate on what things you might |
| 3394s | be in might be in the game as well um |
| 3396s | happily drop into there and have |
| 3398s | discussion with you about certain things |
| 3400s | um we also have uh you can you can join |
| 3402s | what's called the notify me you can have |
| 3404s | a look at the kickstarter page and um |
| 3406s | you can click the notify me element |
| 3407s | which means you'll be notified as soon |
| 3409s | as the kickstarter actually gets |
| 3410s | underway and that's best way to make |
| 3412s | sure that you're there on day one with |
| 3413s | the rest of us having a look at what's |
| 3414s | going to be on the kickstarter page and |
| 3416s | back in the campaign |
| 3417s | outside of that you can catch us um on |
| 3420s | some i think some of the weekly streams |
| 3421s | between now and the 31st of may as well |
| 3424s | um and um you can catch a weekly blog |
| 3426s | where i'll be showing new miniatures new |
| 3428s | content new game mechanics each time |
| 3430s | each week |
| 3431s | and outside that we've we've loved a few |
| 3432s | times on the stream thank you very much |
| 3434s | for having us on uh and be guests with |
