This is possibly the best playthrough I have ever seen of this game on you tube: well narrated, well explained, and enticing from start to finish. Also beautifully painted miniatures (was just a nice bonus, not essential, but hats of to you for how lovely they look). I`d loooove to see you do many many more of these D&D Adventure System videos, especially when you bring the game to life so superbly.

Thanks so much for the kind words; that's high praise indeed! I do have plans to do some more playthroughs eventually, but they're quite hard to fit into the schedule. I want to do something with a big boss fight.

Thanks. I think this game is great. I've done two playthroughs so far showing different aspects of the game, but I haven't shown off a villain yet so I might do another playthrough with a proper boss fight at the end. It really depends if enough people are interested in seeing it!

So that went pretty well - some good dice rolling from you, and it all unfolded in just the right way. Fairly unusual, as you said. Having just got Wrath of Ashardalon in this series these playthroughs are very good for reminding me of the rules, and a few little choices about placement etc. that are very interesting. Am loving this series, and would definitely like to see some more.

Yeah. Normally these games of D&D involve a lot more screaming and running around as monsters pile up everywhere. This was a by the books extraction of a magical artefact. I'm sure the next mission will be pure chaos.

Playthroughs have to happen when I can fit them in. Running this channel isn't my job (as much as I would like it to be) and when the kids are home for the summer holidays it's impossible for me to have the time and space necessary for something that might take a full day, or even longer, to shoot. School holidays are over now, so I am hoping to step up playthroughs again.

I got the game when it first came out and loved it to bits. But in 2021, with all the modern dungeoncrawl games that came out in the interim, it almost feels... quaint.
@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring
@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring 2 года назад
There isn’t really anything else that does what these D&D games do in quite the same way and in such a streamlined accessible way. They are a very specific blend of dungeon crawl, resource management and puzzle game. As enjoyable to me today as it’s ever been.

The fan made Revised rules made this game so much more pleasant. It combines the Exploration and Hero phases into one big phase. You can explore/move/attack in any combination. So you can reveal a monster and immediately attack it which makes much more sense thematically than just being frozen and them getting the jump on you every time.

Ha. When you buy the game new all the miniatures are bagged in the large well in the insert, except for the dracolich in a separate well. Not sure why someone would put them under the insert. That's a great price for this game, though. Well done.

I have a hard enough time cutting down hours of footage of me stumbling over what I’m trying to say without having to worry about fixing the dice rolls and card draws as well!

New here, and freshly subscribed. Just started getting into board games like this, and I have to say that I really love your playthroughs man. Aside from them being entertaining to watch/listen to while I'm supposed to be working, they've actually helped me out on a couple things I wasn't sure of. I'd love to see you do more. Definitely would love to see a Klak's Infernal Artifact, Final Transformation, or a Horror of the Howling Hag playthrough. Take care, man.

How many encounters do you draw on villain phase? Special rules say you draw an encounter card at the start of villain phase for the rest of the adventure after uncovering the chapel. Do you still draw another encounter if you do not explore?
@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring
@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring 2 года назад
This is clarified in the FAQ on the last page of the rules (and I can't remember what I did in this playthrough, I may have played it incorrectly). The encounter card is in addition to any other cards you would draw for not exploring.

Such a fantastic game!! Just a question: If I engage a Kobold Skirmisher in melee and miss, does the Kobold Skirmisher attack in melee with its Javelin?? Do these ranged monsters attack in melee (e.g. Blazing Skeleton, etc.). Kinda weird these ranged monsters attack heroes adjacent to them when they're designed to attack in range.
@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring
@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring Год назад
Monsters all follow their own unique AI. If a blazing skeleton is on a tile with a hero, or on a tile adjacent to a tile with a hero, it attacks all heroes on the closest hero's tile with a fireball. Otherwise, it moves one tile closer. So, in that monster's case, it is setting the whole room on fire. The kobold skirmishers do the same thing except they only target a single hero. In this case, if the hero was at range you can imagine the kobold would be throwing the javelin, but if it was on an adjacent space it would just poke the hero.
@swishsplash
@swishsplash Год назад
I have question about monsters activation, does a specific monster only activate on a hero's turn who has drawn them from the monster deck? Say, its immoril's turn but thorgim drew a skeleton, so the skeleton does not activate during immoril's villain phase (unless otherwise specified in the tactics).
@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring
@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring Год назад
Monsters activate after the hero "controlling" them activates. However, if there are multiple instances of the same type of monster on the map they will all activate whenever one activates, so the threat can escalate rapidly.

@@swishsplash Yes, you are making it harder on yourself. On the Sequence of Play card it says "Activate each Monster and Trap YOU control, in the order you drew them." In the full rules it clarifies that if there are multiples of any one creature, then they will all activate. Also remember that each player can only have one of each monster at a time.

If the wizard didn't kill all 3 monsters would they all attack the wizard? Or do monsters only attack who is closest/who drew them
@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring
@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring Год назад
It depends entirely on the monsters you are facing. They all have their own AI program to follow, and that tells you exactly how they attack, and which targets they prioritise. Sometimes, if there are several viable targets, the heroes get to pick, and it's built into the design that you would normally make the most beneficial selection possible.

No I didn't. The event card states the monsters you control will activate twice in your villain phase, not three times, and I did activate the skeleton twice. There is no such thing as a monster phase.

@@jnishar no worries. It’s easy enough to be mistaken because they call it the villain phase but it’s actually the part of the game where you draw the encounter, activate the villain and activate the monsters. It probably should have a different name for that part of the game.
