GenCon 2023 - Kingdom Death Monster: First Hero Demo 

That is very generous of you, thank you. I am glad I was able to record this and Team Death was very kind to run it for me!

Yeah lol, that would something lol

I had the same question... It doesn't seem right to me.

I am sure there will be some aspect of guaranteed rewards for some innovations.

Yeah. I also played poorly trying to see if there was some surprise by the Team Death member.

Indeed they do!

You would start at those lantern years, that is correct. I assume this is like a prologue. So you could just keep trying.

Indeed, but alas, my poor capture card.

I am glad I was able to record this for everyone!

I did not see Sixth's surprise. I know there was lots of talk about it. I asked Poots about it as well. He just said the fanbase is very generous and out of their minds.

@BraMithra From the videos, demo, epic shopping, and amazing Gold Medals for painting, you four won GenCon. Next year will be hard to top

I really enjoyed this fight, even if I was useless.

I am glad you enjoyed it!

No problem!

Failing to get stuff is kind of necessary. This battle is really just a thematic random number generator that determines what you start with in a later settlement. It has to be different every time, otherwise the battle would be unnecessary and it would just be a list of innovations, equipment, and resources to start a year 12 settlement. I'm sure there are such homebrew lists to start a late settlement, but the First Hero expansion is just a fun way to achieve the same result.

@@JWar- If it's "just" a random numbers generator then it's not truly a game but a self narrated battle. There should be some degree of control in it, though again this was just a demo, I am unable to tell if the actions, or options provided by gear make any difference. Examples... Are there any reveal items that allow you to check hit locations and if you want to repeat them, fail them or not? Or reveal Ai cards to set yourself up. Is there any advantage in having a short battle rather than just letting yourself be hit and fail as much as possible? Though armory seems cool...it also seems this showdown encourages a long battle rather than finishing fast, which I frankly don't like. How does this relate to obtaining gear in the after math... the fact you start with almost all survival actions lead me to think you at least have some degree of agency. I can't tell if you were one of the players, probably? If not I still have some hope it is not just a narrated battle.

I think there will be some elements of guaranteed stuff. I talk about that more at the end of the unboxing live stream.

@@BraMithra I have seen way too many unboxing videos by now. Still I'm excited for this expansion, just "tempering my expectations"

My pleasure! It was fun!

I am glad you enjoyed it!

No idea. Hopefully sooner rather then at the end of Wave 4.

Release? We don't do that here
