Tutorial: the first Showdown! (White Lion) | Kingdom Death: Simulator 

OMG, there is so much I have been doing wrong. I redid the First Showdown after watching your tutorial, not only did everyone survive, they got through without any severe injuries! THANK YOU!

I appreciate that in amongst the encouragement derived from rib cracking, hacking the scapula deltoid and jawless blood vomiting, KD lightens the mood with the almost friendly-sounding chomp attack and hits to the beast’s ding-dong. Great video, thanks :)

Thanks a lot for this great playthrough/tutorial! I think you are doing a fantastic job in combining an entertaining playthrough with a solid rules and simulator explanation! And I enjoy watching and following along because of the fresh and vivid way you are doing this. Looking forward to your next videos and thank you for all the past ones. PS: I love how you say "cool" whenever something bad happens 🤗

Great video that made me so nostalgic to play - half my game is at another house so I haven't been able to play for years. The first fight is just perfect - dripping with tension and theme and already so much narrative. Seeing the lion severely injured, Zachary gets too close going for the finishing blow and barely lives to regret it. A cautionary tale to tell the other survivors about!

That was a brutal first encounter. I did enjoy it though, looking forward to the next video

On a long trip today, so I’m binging your content. Thanks for your videos!

Fantastic video, well done! Just what I needed in preparation for my first campaign.

Your explanation of rules and such are great and I now understand a few things better, so thanks for the great video! Question, how do you change the names on the figures and on the cursor? That is very cool and looks very helpful! Looking forward to the next one!

Great video thanks!

Great video. I'm waiting on my key to open the simulation door. I can sometimes convince the game group to play KDM instead of something else. I'm hoping simulator will let me play solo without all the setup required (I don't mind the setup, I love this game).

Well done!

Would you mind telling us what keyboard short cut you use the first time you use it in each video, please? Great work BTdubs!

You're resolving damage incorrectly. A monster can only wound as many locations as attack dice rolled. So if an attack has speed 2, damage 3, lets say both hit. You roll 2 location dice and apply 3 damage to each location. You do not roll 6 location dice and spread the damage out all over the character's body. If you rolled the waist and legs, if neither location was wounded, the waist would go to a heavy injury (1 from armor, light, then heavy). The legs would go from light, heavy, to severe. I played this wrong at first too, but spreading the damage like that makes your survivors way tougher than they should be.

I'm confused. At 36:30 you roll 3 hit location dice to represent one hit with 3 damage. Is this correct? Or are you supposed to roll one hit location and assign 3 damage to that location?

One quick thing: I believe that the survivor that is attacking cannot spend survival. So, if you are attacking the lion and he has a reaction, you can’t spend survival to dodge that reaction, although other survivors could spend a survival as needed.

Thank you for making this tutorial playlist! I just downloaded the Simulator, trying to get my bearings. I noticed when you mouse over your miniatures on the board they reveal their names below them (like 'Zachary')-- my survivor miniatures don't show a name and I can't find a way to create one. Any secret to this?

How do you pick up a card from the AI deck without revealing it? A lantern 10 does matter for monsters only in that it is always a successful hit My understanding is that the +1 insanity from Monster Controller is only when you have a choice. Just a funny aside, it turns out I'm a child and my group has taken to chanting "crit the dick" whenever Fuzzy Groin is drawn. When you take 1 hit doing multiple damage, you take that much damage to 1 hit location. Somehow this is still exactly what happened lol. Hopefully I don't come across as nit-picky, I don't think your goal is to explain every tiny point of the rules so I don't expect things like the lantern 10 mattering to really be all too important for your purposes. Just sharing notes and offering some Hopefully constructive criticism! Thanks for making content for the KD Sim, nothing but respect!

You rock

Question, I'm new to kds and i got a friend to buy a dwelling key as well but we are completely lost as to how to host each other. It wants a room key, and shows a password box but we don't know where to find this information. We both bought basic digital dwelling keys. How do I host a game?

NOOOOOOOO! Lantern year 3 and I have been counting crits during the attempt wound rolls and not the wounds :P RESET! haha

did they take the turn order cards out of the simulator?

How come you didn't roll on the severe table when you filled in the heavy hit to the body and head for Zachary?

Any reason why you didn't go for the automatic critical hit to get the +1 strength?

Needed this a long time ago! Great video ! Have you played aeon trespass?
