That art looks amazing and those books look beautiful. And using 5e seems apropos since the players are in hell. It's like double hell.

@patrickfitzpatrick2945 11 месяцев назад

True. lol

@thetruefushicho 10 месяцев назад

You will not be found in the liars circle, my friend. We switched to Pathfinder 2e, and it's like the heavens opened unto us.

Don't let Rudy find out

@jamesg9840 Год назад

One nice touch to Dante's original source material is with the 33 Hope Points. Dante's poem(s) has 33 chapters (cantos ). I got the PDF version of the player's book.

@luziankrieger8370 Год назад

Have you gotten around to playing it yet? I'm very tempted to add this beautiful product to my collection, but in the past I've seen so many bad rules in apparently elaborately produced role-playing games (including those based on 5E) that I've become a little more hesitant about blind buying.

@jamesg9840 Год назад

@@luziankrieger8370 No I haven't had a chance to play the game yet. I'm a big Dante and classics fan, so this piqued my interest. (I mean I picked a hotel in Florence due to how close it was to the house Dante was born.) I had also gotten Brancalonia also by Acheron so I definitely wanted to look at Inferno. Lex Arcana by them will most likely be my next game I get. You could always check out the digital PDF versions of the books and games first before deciding if the books are also worth it.

@stoneworkmegapup215 10 месяцев назад

This would be a great campaign after a TPK. Simply have the party go through all of the nine circles of hell before they can be raised from the dead.

@qarsiseer Год назад

Your prologue about this being a fighting game not a journey like the poem made me reimagine this as a module for Ryuutama. “Oh no! Our friend is caught by the grasping hands of lost souls!”

@jeffg5917 17 дней назад

A friend has been raving about BranColonia but this look way up my alley, might snag this "We gettin outta hell with this one"

@kyohapooka Год назад

This seems like a better version of the Dark Souls 5e rpg.

@luziankrieger8370 Год назад

Which is really a cheek in terms of image quality and rules. Still considering ritually turning a specimen into a Bone Fire.

@xaosbob Год назад

I remember when this KS was going. I didn't back it because I had no idea if it would be worth it (Kickstarters can vary pretty wildly in quality, regardless of promises), but you've given me reason to consider spending my gaming budget on this. Thank you! Edit: Also, pretty sure this presentation is exactly the vibe I've always wanted for Baator. I mean, that only makes sense, but even Planescape made Hell a little too mundane.

@DennisBozic 5 месяцев назад

My wife is currently preparing the campaign for our group of Travellers and to be honest, I'm really excited to start our journey through Hell.

@SangsungMeansToCome Год назад

Adventurers! Ready your breakfast and eat hearty! For tonight, we dine in hell!

I'm a hypernerd about the Comedy, and I am SO hyped about this. I would LOVE to run this. I really hope they don't crap out and do the whole trilogy.

@NuttySquirrel_8 Год назад

OUTSTANDING review. Thank you!

@SamuraiMujuru Год назад

I backed the Inferno KS at a digital tier because it looked neat, but man was I kicking myself when the final products released. Between that backwards buyers remorse and your early look at Apoccalise i was able to fix that mistake by baking at the all-in tier that also included all of Infernos stuff. My current madcap idea is to see if I cant splice Inferno and Apoccalise into one mega campaign.

@DaveThaumavore Год назад

Nice save!

@timfrank7461 Месяц назад

Well, I think I have my next arc. I'm gonna run with my friends 😈😈😈

@SerpC Год назад

Great review

@_evillevi 5 месяцев назад

I got this last week and I'm loving it!

@sunsin1592 Год назад

I don't play 5e but I'm currently revising an Apocalyptic/Journey Through Hell Campaign for AD&D that I wrote back in the 1990s-early 2000s and I picked up the Mayfair Games & Judges Guild versions of Inferno not long ago. I'm grabbing this for ideas. Thanks for the review & the discount!

@BingeWurthy 3 месяца назад

I REALLY enjoyed this one, thank you

@lazarslavkovic-raco6309 Год назад

Shame that they do not ship to outside of USA. Not to mention they do provide their own pdf's instead of drivethru

@DanteRavenkin 6 месяцев назад

Even though I'm not Catholic, I'm a HUGE fan of the Divine Comedy (hence my name online...) and learning more about this game I think I'll be buying this this weekend since a local store carries it. I have never heard of Apocalisse until now but I definitely need to pick up that series as well!

@RichardBejtlich Год назад

This review was top notch. 👏🎲

@Jose-ur7jz Год назад

This book its just on my line, thanks you

@brycepoole5734 Год назад

I backed this on KS and I have really enjoyed reading it, but I have yet to find a group willing to play it. It seems to me that the hardest thing about this campaign is finding players who are willing to play it as a straight and faithful adaptation. Most players are interested in different styles of fantasy, in my opinion.

@luziankrieger8370 Год назад

Are the rules solid? I'm very tempted to add this beautiful product to my collection, but in the past I've seen so many bad rules in apparently elaborately produced role-playing games (including those based on 5E) that I've become a little more hesitant about blind buying.

@RED-ek7mv Год назад

I'll be down to play it if you run it online on a Sunday xD

@himurogentoku7117 Год назад

The arts are uncanny. Should be useful and fun for further reading and enriching the lore of Aquelarre RPG.

@St_M_ Год назад

Pretty much all of this looks and sounds amazing, it feels like the very essence of the Divina Comedia was captured! And yet it is forced to languish in the neverending purgatory that is DnD 5e. I know, a publisher basically needs to target that lowest common denominator audience to make it financially these days but... Dave's exasperated sigh at around 11 minutes sums it up perfectly for me.

@SMooreArtDesign Год назад

Probably the only way you could get me to play 5e right now.

@trioofone8911 Год назад

Wow. I'm not a 5e player, but I might make an exception for this. On the other hand, what's the publishing date for the DCC version? Lol

@seanfsmith Год назад

better get me working on some TS Eliot stuff

@augustomatos1155 Год назад

Looks like something that would work a million times better as a PbtA or FitD game, which are more about the experience and less about aching to hit something with your weapon. Not hard to adapt if you're experienced enough with them, though.

@user-tp5ox8zj6u Год назад

Hey Dave! I just wanted to trow a RPG your way: The Dead are coming, an Into the Odd hack for a zombie apocalypse. I found it to be interesting, check it out! There are like no videos about it.

@Cripps23 Год назад

It looks pretty fantastic, if only they shipped outside of the United States... not even an option for poor Canada :(

@Snadon73 9 месяцев назад

FYI, it's now available in stores in Canada.

@wendell52003 Год назад

Does anyone know when the books will be available in local game stores?

@samim5140 Год назад

Hi there Wendell, our US distributor is Studio2 and I think Inferno is already sortable through any local game stores? (I hope)

@TheFearlessFew Год назад

Looks ok. Dave, what are your thoughts on Starfinder? I can’t find any Paizo games on your channel.

@DaveThaumavore Год назад

Cool art. Complicated rules.

@TheFearlessFew Год назад

@@DaveThaumavore I dont love complicated lol, just bought the starter box and debating whether to deep dive or find another space adventure alternative?

@DaveThaumavore Год назад

@@TheFearlessFew you might as well give it your best shot. But don’t feel bad if you conclude that the game is just too crunchy and granular. It’s a really complex game meant for people who like that sort of thing.

@alexfuhs7771 6 месяцев назад

I read the poem, played the game, watched the mediocre anime, and now i have the 5e books

@TempoLOOKING 22 дня назад

The cards from Wies Swarts.

@TalonBrush Год назад

Wow! This looks incredible. Too bad about the system choice, this could've been so much better in a different system. Also, what is that beautiful haunting music in the first part? It's so perfect for the game, I really want to use it.

@plastickhero Год назад

Really cool idea; I just wish it wasn't beholden to 5e.

@isaacgraff8288 11 месяцев назад

I am tempted to grab this just for the bestiary

@maggintons 9 месяцев назад

I understand everyone was disappointed by regular D&DAvernus but according to the lore it made sense for Avernus to be a hell lite as its only the first layer.

@beardyben7848 Год назад

This is just begging for a translation to a different system. Hell of a setting though.

@BaneMcDeath 6 месяцев назад

Pity it didn’t use 1e-2e rules.

@Noops_AU Год назад

So they've made a flavourful and well researched interpretation of the Divine Comedy and then hamstrung its appeal by tying it solely to 5e. Genuinely what is the point of doing that? They could have either made a setting book that was system agnostic or even written their own rpg which actually fit the material instead of doing this jury rigged version of 5e.

@lucastakeo7707 Год назад

Such a shame that this uses the 5e rules

@daveanctil1209 Год назад

WHY 5e ?!?! Such a bad system for playing such a grandiose and complex diegesis :(

@Stone_Orchids 9 месяцев назад

Played it, the flavour and story is on point, but as far as a game/gameplay it's just a worst 5e, it's less balanced and less fun than 5e and it takes a lot of efforts nowadays to be worst than 5e, if you are there just for the setting you are there for a treat but don't hope for much on anything else

@Wesley_Youre_a_Rabbit Год назад

All that front loaded stuff about races and classes was necessary for them because they chose to use 5e, which was a money move. Other systems would’ve done this WAY more justice. But I guess they wanted more algorithm publicity. Sad.
