I don't understand this combat at all, so many times you guys got " your foe has initiative" and yet they do absolutely nothing, again and again....what? Actually they just stood there doing nothing the entire fight from begining to finish...it was just you guys taking turns without ever being attacked. If your foe has initiative aren't they suposed to do something? Attack some one, run away, cast a spell so you have to face danger.... anything....i really don't understand this combat at all xD its like you ignore the fact the enemies have initiative.
Good question. So this game is very focused on your characters. It’s usually better to narrate what your character is doing than what enemies are doing. Enemies don’t get turns and they don’t take actions. Everything they do is contextualized by the moves made by players. So when it says “your foe has initiative” what is really means is “your character is at a disadvantage”. It’s even reworded to being in a bad or good spot in Starforged, which updates a lot of Ironsworn’s rules for the better. Whether or not you have initiative is mostly used to dictate what types of moves you’re allowed to do. For example, if you do have initiative you can strike an enemy and do a lot of damage. If you don’t have initiative, you instead have to clash, which isn’t quite as effective as striking. I say all this, but at this point in the actual play we weren’t super experienced in the system yet. So, you’re right, it probably would have been cool to narrate some of the enemy’s action a little more. But we were still having fun. Hope that answers your question a bit! Thanks for watching!
@@ParentiBrothers Oh they don't actually take turns, I understand now, it's like a story...I see, I have never played this game but I think if I ever play it whenever my foe gets initiative I will have an enemy rush at me and have a "clash" or an archer shoots at me and I have to face danger...it's starting to make sense now, you make your own story even in battle, thanks a lot for the answer, and PLEASE keep doing these campaigns together, I actually play just me and my girlfriend no GM so actually seeing you guys co-op helps me a lot and you guys are amazing story tellers, excellent job guys.
@@ParentiBrothers I don't want to take more of your time just want to say that there are a million channels on RU-vid of people playing ttrpgs, and I only watch two, Critical role because they are good and Me myself and Die, that guy is a genius of solo play, and now you guys will be my third channel I honestly think you are that good, sadly there's only 2 campaigns Dragonbane and ironsworn, we need some Warhammer 40k wrath & glory, I think you two would tell an amazing Story on that grim/Dark world, all the best to you guys.
@@Bisclas Me, Myself & Die was a big inspiration for our format and obviously Critical Role is legendary. Thanks for mentioning us in the same though! More actual plays are in the works! :)
My home game is the same as far as players who don't really care about inmersing themselves in stats and feats etc so I'm definiltely going to give this a go. Thank you for the resources. Very kind!
They’ll probably like this one then. There are some stats but it’s really simple and leveling up is at the table. After playing a good bit since this video, I do recommend rewarding them with heroic abilities every 5 sessions of so! Hope you enjoy it. Thanks for watching!
@@ParentiBrothers Ah, thank you yes that makes sense. I'm on the Dragonbane discord now and something similar has recently been discussed there. As a player I do also enjoy the rolling and possible upskilling at the end of each game too.
It’s a basic roll and move game designed to tie in with the movie. Not super fun and our copy is broken, but it’s cool to keep around! Also it’s far too dangerous to actually play…
Nice job on whomever is doing the filming of the minis. That and the sound effects adds a lot to the ambiance. (Cheese wheel in the video shots cracked me up btw! 😆)
@ParentiBrothers I think you guys are on to something huge with this series. You have an endless supply of monsters from publishers you can tap into. Do you know who Bailey Sarian is? I reference her because I immediately saw a correlation between what you are doing, and what she has done. This style of voice over with lore, color theory, and pop history combined is a recipe for success! Keep it up Gents! Consider me subscribed!
@@ParentiBrothers I've only seen pieces of her videos, because they aren't really my thing. I just know what she does and that she has 7+ million subscribers. But I feel that what you are doing has that kind of potential. Its meant as a compliment... Anyway, keep the mythology, lore, pop culture, art theory, history, etc. Voice over on the miniature that you're painting and I think you guys have HUGE potential 😎👍 Thanks again. I'll be watching you video backlog and looking forward to new ones... CHEERS 🍻
I will do imposible and print Miniatures on FDM, dont hawe place for resin printer. I buy resin printer later wen i hawe proper space for this and my buissnes will start.
Awesome video! Your paint job is awesome! The Banshee looks lifted straight off the pages of a comic book. Or in my mind, perhaps taken from the cover of a Weird Tales magazine advertising a terrifying short story about the Banshee within!
There is another reason why heroes were bright primary colors. Spider man and superman were the exact shade of red and blue the printers used at the time. This is because the heroes would be on the page more and a red blue or yellow character would be cheaper to print. Villains had less page space thus we're alowed to have more color veriety. The color language of primaries =good guys and secondarys = bad then became thematic. When printing switched to cmyk and started to get better and cheaper colors for heroes and villains broadened. However the theming stuck around.
Hehe was waiting for Hawkeye mention. Oh I forgot he started as a villain Great success, perhaps banshees start out vibrant and fade over time I myself thought of Silver Banshee
Going to give this one a try with my fiancée soon going to play in the LOTR setting. Also I find it kind of a funny that there is so much talk of D&D being a "Collaborative Storytelling" game when I don't think that's what it is at all nor what it was designed for. Yet you have something like Ironsworn that clearly is much closer to that idea with Co-Op Play and prioritizing fiction/narrative first and the casual TTRPG player probably won't even give it a chance.
@@roqueadeleon That’s a good point! The collaborative storytelling aspect of d&d is all done outside of the actual d&d rule set. Ironsworn naturally creates a very interesting story through the rule set!
Tip when painting fire. The "points" of the flame are colder compared to it's origin. So you should start with the brigther collors (White and Yellow) in the base of the flame and them proced to paint the "colder" parte with orange, then red. You can add black just ii the tip of each flame as well, it helps mimicing fire :) Hot>cold White>Yellow>Orange>Red>Black
I have! I used them twice acctually lol 1st time in the Princess of the Apocalypse module campaing, they are related to the Cult of Fire. 2nd time in a homebrew campaing in Greyhawk where a Fire Giant was a legendary smith and had these guys as assistants.
Great video! I really like the design of Azers! Though it is quite a simple design I think it's unique among elemental creatures. I also HAVE used the Azer in a one-shot I DMed! I didn't strictly keep to their lore and instead I had a group of them constructed by ancient Dwarf smiths to serve as guardians of an elder evil, a Beholder, that the Dwarves had imprisoned deep within a volcano. Exploring, the party found dozens of dead Azers, nothing more than hollow and broken bronze statues, killed by the servants of the Beholder. However, near the heart of the volcano they found a some broken bronze pieces that still had what seemed like liquid fire spread over them. The party collected this liquid fire and then reforged the bronze body parts. Combining the two they brought one of the Azer back to life. He was called Igni and he helped them in their final fight against the beholder!
Is there a reason why you don't spray prime your models? And what is the spray called you use for gluing your prints? Is it a better option than contacta glue?
Just like the control of brush on prime and we have a big bottle of it we’re trying to go through. But it doesn’t really matter whether you spray or brush on. The spray is superglue accelerator. It makes the glue harden instantly. It’s amazing!
