Thanks so much for the video, it was awesome! I was laughing the whole time. A couple of notes, though! - When you get 1 point to upgrade a skill, you must pick one of the options, you don't get all of them. - Upgrading your capital refers to the one on your home planet, not Yeross. - The way I wrote Erakos was more of a theatre of the mind thing, so I really enjoyed the minigame you created to represent moving through that first floor. You did make your life much more difficult, though, haha. You shouldn't have taken that much time to go across it, it's a big room but your character spent there a lot of time! You might not even have run into an encounter there... I guess that's compensated by the fact that you did indeed cheat with the Melt Flesh Skill, since it's a Pulsating Skill, which means you can only use it once per combat. Everything else was perfect, so thanks so much!
I played the same chamber for myself yesterday, but was killed by the furnace construct. Congratulations on your success, my construct had 2 health left... Your setup for the room was marvellous! I set up that chamber very minimally and only asked the oracle for a few things. Then there were your rules mistakes and of course the smart arse in me wanted to write it immediately. But then I realised all the mistakes I'd made while playing, I was just constantly using the TL incorrectly and more... I haven't spent hours trying to record a great video for others, explaining rules and that at late night. We viewers are real...
Was really cool to see how you play the game and you are great at coming up with meaningful ways to structure things on the fly! Going through The Forge was a huge learning experience for me since I'm a very procedure-driven player that focuses on dungeon crawlers, usually. And you totally can play the forest if you want to, I was just joking about that :D
Great video. I like your approach with the hex map movement. Now I will recommend a more strategy combat. Change the map to square and have a large room, your character can move and do a standard action per turn. If you look at the construct stat he can only do 1 action, either move or attack, but not both. That would have give you a better chance on the encounter. Also something I notice you hp at lvl 1 is your CON + CON mod, which I think is 13. All and all is great video, I like this game so much!!!
I love what I see from Pendragon too, looks like an amazing experience to solo. However, the 6th edition game has a lot of rules missing which make Pendragon so awesome. No family history, limited selection of Knight backgrounds, and no battle rules to name few things. Seems amazing but just not complete at all at the moment. I own it but I need more!
Video 49 of me liking and then commenting on every new upload to tell the viewers that the Man Alone Podcast is absolutely some of that sweet, unhinged audio/vocal-honey. Psssst. Who else in here is also a Solo BOARDgamer? Sometimes I find myself more immersed in a board game, its theme, art, narrative, etc. than I do in an RPG. It just depends on the day.
Yeah I go totally go into phases with this - sometimes I really want to just have something set up for me and unfold for me rather than having to create it all. I have backed a really cool solo card game called Spire's End: Rangitaki that I am looking forward to for this exact reason
7:55 what you need is the skycam they use for football tv broad casts, a camera suspended by two wires strung overhead that can move anywhere on the field/board
“Please BeeBee just listen I cannot do this Yuotube channel anymore!! I want to be free off these chains because I did every thing you asked and even ate all of my supper on time…plese I am beg you…” blasphemy make the content eat the bugs
@@amanisalone I'm just referring to the character creation - dead parents, traumatized early, feelings of emptiness, "found the ascendancy more valuable then anything on this cursed planet", plague shaman, etc. Don't deny you're an edgy emo kid at heart ;)
Totally on-theme for lit-rpg. Currently rereading the Solo Leveling manhwa (feel free to judge me), and that protagonist is textbook power fantasy _edge._
@@cjackdc yeah I’ve read about 300 pages of wandering inn, the first book and a half of dungeon crawler Carl, a bunch of Seth Ring’s copy paste books, what am I missing here. I seriously tried for several months to find one that was not utter trash and failed
@@amanisalone I'd strongly recommend you reading the Unbound book series, or The Grand Game, those are super fun! And lit-RPG adjacent, you simply MUST read the Cradle book series. It's literally some of the best fantasy I've read in my life.
