Elder Scrolls Betrayal of the Second Era | Session #1 (Days 1-4) 

rules corrections -01:38:00 the enemy would not have moved because it only moves if there are no targetable units. -01:39:43 I am out of range and Scamps should have gotten the W (Range=Stamina or Magic Stat) -01:14:36 the NPC should not have moved because it was at the edge of the map. -I should have started the game with 2 xp. -Companions do not count towards Ep calc. (makes up for not starting with 2 xp :) -Bonus Xp does not increase your Party Xp (not sure when this happened)

Watching you learn before playing helps me a lot thank you for showing us this. Most just film themselves playing after they have locked down the rules but I prefer seeing you ask the questions they we would as well while you learn we learn.

Every item: "that is wildly awesome!" It is fun to see a game make loot super meaningful.

Hi, 1st i see you play. Love the way you splitted the screen, very easy to see all aspect of the board.nice light, color and resolution. Thank you.

Awesome video! I am really loving following your learning process. The flow charts are great IMO.

This game is crazy every playthru I watch shows me this is way more complicated than TMB and I should have never backed it lol.

This is so fun to watch. It looks incredibly complex and it’s fun watching you churn through it. At 1:04:35 I’m curious, the card “these do look pretty sharp” says adventurers cannot move onto caches. Is that specific to this quest? Does that mean you wouldn’t have been able to go for that cache here? God knows I’d be missing so much stuff here so I might be totally wrong. Edit: And of course 1 minute later you figured it out. 😂

Thanks for this episode! Interesting that you go for a (seemingly) more complicated class at first. I noticed a few things: Bonus XP does not! increase the XP tracker. Range of an Engagement is determined either by stamina (for stamina skill lines) Or magicka (for magicka skill lines) You actually start the game with 2 XP if I remember correctly. Also I think companions are not added for enemy pool calculation. Love the daily content

I honestly to goodness cannot believe how many content creators have started with bow lol.

Thank you for doing this! SO EXCITING! Will you be live stream the end game?

1:34:45, whenever we have a cocked die, when a dice rolled is not parallel to the rolling surface, anyone can (and will) call out a cocked die. Another player, especially an opponent, gets to place another die on top of the cocked die. If the cocked die is tilted enough where the die on placed on top slides and falls off, they must reroll the cocked die. If the placed on top die does not fall off, keep the result. It's a little dexterity mini game. If the opponent wants the die rerolled, they'll try to place it in their favor, where it can fall off easily, to a fair placement, still. The drama and tensions builds as steady hands place a die on top. But of course, if I'm playing solo, I always take the die face in my favor.

I believe there is a Game Phase reference on the back of the tutorial book if you have the latest PDF. Also, bonus exp doesn’t increase your dial exp count. That is the bonus part 😊

Just in case - 1:14:36 NPC won't move, see NPC Overland Movement p.46 ("If the token is instructed to move in a specific direction and there are no adjacent hexes in that direction (such as at the edge of the map), the token ends its current move"). Also you start the game at 2XP unless you do the Jailbreak encounter which has its own rule of starting at 1 XP (and still ending at 2 XP). And companions does not affect EP (Party Size, p.36 or Enemy Pool, p.54, "To calculate the EP value, multiply the party’s total XP as shown on the XP Dial by the number of adventurers")

Remember, each snipe die you roll ignores 1 defense. This stacks. So if you roll 2 snipe dice for 1 damage each on a 2 defense enemy, you would do a total of 2 damage straight to HP.

Could be wrong, but your engage against the dark elf at 1:35:00-ish you shouldn't have been able to roll Bow since you were adjacent, right? I thought the ranged battle form was only non-adjacent?

For the last battle with hackwing, I dont believe the enemies move smartly to maximize its attack. It would have stayed where it was and hit Scamps.

Posting as I am watching.I didn’t see this brought up yet. Sorry if it was. You may want to reread the formula for figuring EP. It takes the parties exp (the exp dial) times number of adventures, not party members.

Is this a review copy of the game?
