Waterdeep: Dungeon of the Mad Mage - Adventure 1 Play Thru 

@Jorge Soto Merry Christmas!! And glad the video helped, good luck in your adventures! :)

He misplayed the Psychic Swarm and if you and another player controls the same monster each player on their turn activates all monsters that are the same on their turn. The Psychic Swarm you keep putting one Intellect Devourer in front of each player so if there is only two players one player will get two intellect devourers.

Glad the video helped! And good luck on your adventure!!

You are welcome! And good luck taking on the Mad Mage!! :)

Carsten Rossner You are correct! That’s what happens when the player fails a perception check. *Spoiler* I’ll miss a few things on occasion. ;)

Carsten Rossner wrong

@@gilg2560 Right page 7 villain phase.

@Mark I hope you enjoy the game!! I honestly only played the first scenario, not that I didn't like the game, because it sits on my shelf so I will eventually get back to it ... it's just that I am too easily distracted by the new shiny games that keep finding their way to my table. :D I don't remember much wrong with the rules, but there were a couple cards that needed re-phrased (I think) ... but nothing that would ruin the game play. Have fun in your adventures and thanks for watching! :)

Pre-painted mini-loving nerd to be a bit more precise. ;)

Thanks!

@Strale Lestra Thanks for watching ... and that does seem familiar. I really do need to get this game back out and finish the scenarios, and read the rules again. :)

Strale Lestra is correct on that. Its on page 7 of the rule books. "If there are multiple Monsters with the exact same name in play, activate each of those Monsters on your turn. So, if you have a Grung Monster card and another player has a Grung Monster card, you activate both Grungs during your Villain Phase. If both Monsters survive until the other player’s Villain Phase, that player will activate both Grungs again!"

They are very amazing and useful!! And can be purchased from uberstax.com . Happy gaming!

I enjoy the system, but a lot of other games have come in taking my time away from it. So if there's a long drought of no new games coming in, maybe. :) Thanks for watching!

@rr ww Sounds like a win, Congratulations! Mistakes will happen, hope you had fun! Good luck on your next adventure! :)

No problem negative nell. Anything to help. At the time of recording, the ruling for starting cards was that for the POWERS on the card it shows Cormac starts with Blessed Stakes (an at-will power) and also got to choose 1 at-will, 2 utility, and 1 daily power. So a total of 2 at-wills. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching! Did you find an updated FAQ for that. I've found the rules for these adventure system games always left some things up to interpretation, but the game was always fun. :)

@@DaletheCasualGamer yeah, that’s one thing for sure they are open to interpretation. I enjoy the fact that no scenario goes the same way twice. You can stroll past in one game and get your backside kicked in the next.

@@lesliestevenson5261 For dungeon crawls in an hour or less, this system is really good. :)

Bought them from a company called UberStax, and yes, they come in handy to organize the gaming area and are interchangeable! Check out www.uberstax.com

@@DaletheCasualGamer Thanx! That's an nice find.

@Danielle Wong Thanks for watching! It's been a long time since I've played this, so I'll do my best. For the treasure, i think there are ways to purchase in between adventures, and there are multiple cards of those (see page 14 of rulebook). Environment cards will sit to the side and effect all the heroes.. And for the Nameless Goblin, there isn't a miniature, but there is a token to use for him. Hope that helps, and good luck continuing your adventure!! :)

@@DaletheCasualGamer wow, thank you so much for replying so quickly! this is super helpful! :D

Read page 3. "To support campaign play, you should separate your cards into two decks: The Starting Deck (cards with a white set icon #1-184) and The Advanced Deck (cards with a gold set icon #185-228). For your rst game, use only cards from the Starting Deck. After each adventure, follow the instructions in the Aftermath section to make changes to the decks, which introduce more complex e ects and more di cult challenges. As you continue to play, see “Playing the Campaign” on page 14 for more info on ways to beef up your Heroes as you get further in the adventures." You're not suppose to be playing with every card in the Monster, Encounter, and Treasure deck. If you look at the bottom of the card there is a Hallister Icon. One is white and the other is gold. In the first adventure you only play with the white Hallister icon cards.

To answer your second question they affect only you if it states it. To answer your third question there isn't a miniature. I just use a hero miniature to represent it.

@@zangetsudx1 I really appreciate you taking the time to answer all my questions!!

@Hasan Yuksel I think it's a good dungeon crawl game that can be played solo or in a group, and gets you familiar with some of the D&D terminology for your next play of the D&D roleplaying game. May you get your critical hits on your dice rolls! :)

Buy the player's handbook, the dungeon master's guide and monster manual

Thanks!

It’s been a while since I’ve played this game ... but I remember the rules seemed to be lacking on several items. My interpretation is that on your turn you can move and perform one other action (move again, attack, disable a trap), so if you attack and miss ... that’s your “other action”

They are UberStax and you can find more about them at uberstax.com. Good luck in your games!

From what I could find (or not find) in the rule book, using a treasure card did not require an “action”. It only needed to be used during the phase noted on the card. But with that said, in the role playing game ... that would be an action during combat. Consider be confused with you. ;)

@@DaletheCasualGamer That's how I interpreted as you only having to use it during that phase.

@@zangetsudx1 Thanks for watching and all the rules assists! :)

@Charlles Ferraro Nope, you are not going crazy ... I'm just a bit forgetful. There's a balance between paying attention to the game, and working around camera's and I must have failed the Dexterity check. ;) Thanks for watching, and hope your adventures have gone well!

@@DaletheCasualGamer thanks for the reply. I like the game although I think there are some rules that are a bit confusing. I also have much trouble deciding if an ability card should flip or not after use, especially utility powers, some of them doesn't have the flip warning and have more lore-wise sense on being passive always-on abilities than one trigger only activation per adventure... Like I said, confusing hahahaha.

D&D dice can not be trusted! ;)

This was confusing to me too, and I feel I found a FAQ somewhere that stated the bold text was your chosen starter card and then you also picked another 1 at-will, 2 utility, and 1 daily. Hope that helped, and good luck in your adventure!!

I have the same question. Reading the instructions I don't see where it says to take more than are listed on your hero card. There are recommended cards for early adventures but, to my understanding, these still take up your attack card options. Who knows? Anyone have clarification? EDIT: You seem to be right. I wasn't reading the default at will power above the other card selections. Carry on.

Flayne009 I found on the wizards forum the general going is take the attack it states and then you pick your at will, dailies and power cards. In practice this feels much better too

@@OhLookItsLewis You're right. The Tales from Candlekeep: Tomb of Annihilation video game starts you with two at will powers, one default and one chosen, so it's consistent. Glad I watched this. BTW, if you haven't played the video game check it out on steam.

@@Flayne009 i have it but havent got round to playing it. however with this unexpected time to myself i may get round to it
