By popular demand let's continue our adventures in Massive Darkness 2: Hellscape created by Alex Olteanu, Marco Portugal and published by CMON. Stay tuned as we begin our quest to create the demon artifact. At the end of the video I ask what we should do next so be sure to let me know in the comments below. Hope you enjoy and keep on rolling solo! ;D *FYIs/Corrections:* #1. Be sure to check the ‘tiny writing’ on the spawn tokens on the quest setup diagram that will tell you which portals to spawn at based on character count. For this quest with two characters only the purple spawn is used. The two green portals will be removed at the start of Part #2 with no gameplay impact. #2. The Rogue gets a number of actions based on how many tokens they have. During one turn I gained an additional token (action). So I missed out on one extra action. #3. 33:57 I forgot to give myself two extra swords which would have been two additional damage! #4. A correction for entire playthrough: “To know how much Max Health and Max Mana your Hero currently has, simply look at their starting Health and Mana and add the amount shown on the Level token at your current Level, ignoring all information from previous Levels.” - FAQ The final part of the statement is key in that you don’t add up all prior levels to determine max health and max mana. You ONLY take your character card and your current level to determine max health and max mana. This is very easy to miss! *Also a huge thanks to my Patreon community for voting on the new character for this playthrough!

The heroes thought their job done, but the newfound peace was never meant to last. Dangerous new Portals have suddenly opened up all across the land. The Darkness and its hordes are flooding through, stronger than ever. It will not be enough to simply close the Portals this time. The Lightbringers must travel through them into the unknown to destroy the Darkness once and for all. Either Light will triumph, or the Darkness will consume every being in the world.

Rogues have an amount of actions equal to their unused tokens. If you pull another token from the bag the rogue has another action that turn because of it.
One off campaigns are nice to see how all the characters work, but I am looking forward to seeing campaign play. Don’t worry about spoilers- MD2 isn’t exactly War and Peace when it comes to story!
Exactly my thoughts. This is a bigger one shot scenario and I’m aiming to cover campaign play sometime soon. I have a move coming up very very soon that could delay it.
Just wanted to say your playthrough for this is one of the best produced I've seen on RU-vid. Great close shots and explanations the whole way through. Thanks.
Hey Ben! That means a lot and thanks so much for checking it out. Any corrections or things worth noting I also put into the pinned comment for reference. Hope to see you around and your comment makes all the efforts more than worth it. Cheers! 👏🏼
Great video. Nice and professional. Thank goodness other creators making Massive Darkness content. I'm trying to finish painting my set before filming again
Great Playthrough, looking forward to the next episode, two notes for you: 1. The roaming monster should have moved 3 spaces towards the closest hero (not only 2) even if it does not reach any hero. As it says on the card, move three spaces and attack if possible. The "if possible" refers only to the attack, but it needs to move 3 anyway. 2. For the mage, you can use multiple quadrants per action/attack, as long as you have the needed mana to do so. For example you could have used the "combat 1 reroll" first and after that the fireball within the same attack. You can also use the mana you gained from your yellow dice at the very attack. The 1 Mana to heal 2 is also a free action, you do not need an action for this.
Hey Tim! Thanks for watching and the feedback. I debated the ‘if possible’ piece but I’m interrupting it that if a hero is within three spaces it will move and attack, if possible. I’m going to play it this way for two reasons, one it makes thematic sense and a roaming monster ability needs to be completed to not move to the next option. Yep, the Mage is pretty awesome that way. As long as you have mana (and choose to use a spell) you can preform it! The yellow mana gained from the Wooden staff has a timing condition of an ‘attack’. As such, you gain that mana after performing an attack. So no chance to use that mana during that same attack. All spells on the amulet don’t cost an action unless it specified ‘Action’. Hope this helps you out!
49:32 Aww you should have given yourself an extra mana there (one from the staff and another from the reroll that gave an attack and another mana) resulting in 3 mana total at the end of the turn. Loving this series. Thanks so much RS!
Good video. I'm not sure about some rules (for instance, in a 2 characters game, I think there is only 1 spawn token (gate) ), but maybe it will be explained in the next video. I think you have to split the party or the Darkness Tracker will advanced too fast. Also, looking forward to a Campaign game.
I think Pascal is correct, since you are only playing two characters you should be only using the purple spawn token. 3+ you bring out one green and 5+ you use both green spawn tokens with the purple
@@babineaun Hey Nick! Wow, so easy to miss the tiny writing inside the spawn token itself on the Quest. Didn’t even notice it. Will have to see if I can pivot going into Part #2. Cheers!
Great video. Nicely produced with excellent descriptions and explanations throughout. Where did you get those 3D Health/Damage (heart) counters? Thank you
Great video series, I really like this game (probably my most anticipated KS ever). The only downside for me is the set up and tear down time is a lot, and I don't have the ability to leave the game set up from day to day, which makes tabling this a bit of a chore :( Looking forward to to the next video!
I know this is an old video, but shouldn’t the rogue have done 2 extra damage the first time she attacked the imps? Thanks for the videos, I really like how clear and concise you are in explaining the rules. Keep it up, lookin forward to campaign play.
Hello Martin! My head is a bit foggy in the whirlwind of moving atm. I’ll have to check this later on but I hope you found your answer in the meantime. I’ll be back in action soon!
@@dtelquess I think it might be at some point but so far most want to keep the party together and head west. That’s my current plan for the first shard. After that Mathrin will be better suited up to go out on his own and maybe we’ll split for the final two. Should be interesting!
I would keep together and head west. Also I believe when the Rouge get the shadow ability from the dice you get to pick a token and use it as a fourth action. Lastly you should only spawn one mob from the darkness tracker because you only have two heroes so all other portals would not be active
You have both green portals on the board that should not be there. Per the scenario set up that is only there if there are 3+ characters, the other 5+ characters, you only have 2. And the rogue gets 1 action per token they have.
Shouldn't the mana spent at 33:57 given you two more swords and ended up with a minion kill on Fey's attack? Love the content and the high production values! I'm in for as many videos as you want to make of your adventures here.
Good catch! I missed out on two swords which would have translated to two more hits. Gah! 😜 Thanks for the heads up, I’ll add that to the pinned comment. 👍🏼
Depends on what you’re after. Both are dungeon crawlers. Massive Darkness more-so fitting into that mold. Do you need both? Probably not. Unless you like the differences between the two games theme wise and gameplay wise!
Anyone have any advice on a playmat size? Have a few kickstarters down the pipeline and I dont have the table space so I'll be playing on mainly on large playmat lol. Recently backed a playmate KS and I'm trying to figure how much space i should go with: 36"x72" or 48"x48"🤔
