Note: I'm frequently asked about the example at 18:10, and why there isn't line of sight to the spider. The LOS can't cross anything, including the target model itself (I know that's odd, but that's how it goes). So before getting to that back right corner of the spider, it would cross through the spider itself, so line of sight is considered blocked.

At 18:02, Lorick still has line of sight on the spider - Draw a line from lower left corner of Lorick to lower right corner of the spider. The line will exactly pass both corners of the obstacles.
@WatchItPlayed 2 жыл бұрын
@@sababezhashvili598 Please read the comment you are replying to more thoroughly, you are missing that the Line of Sight cannot pass through ANYTHING, including the target itself. To get to that bottom right corner of the spider's space, it would have to pass through the spider itself, which is not allowed.

+Watch It Played You're welcome. :-) Explaining the rather complicated rules while not shying away from the corner cases is not a small feat. The amount of planning and preparation put into the tutorial pays off. I can imagine you would be able to properly explain, say, Magic: the Gathering to a newbie. Not many can pull that off without either causing confusion or omitting all the corner cases - or both.

So I started looking up alternatives to a tabletop fantasy RPG game and found Descent! This video is EXACTLY what I was hoping to find. VERY informative, straight to the point, easy to understand, clear and concise. Now I just need to save up the dough to get the game!

Just picked up Descent 2nd Edition yesterday! Skimmed the rules, but this was an excellent vid! Subscribed and looking forward to digging through the rest of your channel. Cheers!

I saw stats for the main characters in this game for use of those minis within Zombicide: Black Plague. Glad to see your video. It makes me look at the game for its own viability as well. Kudos.

My gaming group is playing descent for the first time this weekend. This video gave me a lot of good info so hopefully we won't get bogged down in the "first game played" bog of muddling through the rules. Great video!

Very well done! Thanks for the video! It helps so much to have a visual when I'm learning how to play a game versus just having the manual

Hey Rodney, I finally got around to buying the game, i just want to say, learning the game watching you is much more fun and easier than reading it in the rulebook alone.. also, props for explaining everything clearly.. great job. More power..

Funny fact: Being a Russian speaker I have a Russian language copy of Descent 2 , read manual in Russian, watched how to play in Russian, but still refer to Rodney's excellent videos for rules clarification)))

Darn it. I already ordered "The Wrath of Ashardalon" (which I'm receiving on Friday, cannot wait to play) after watching your video and convincing me to order it and now I also want Descent and Tuscany. TOO MANY GAMES. By the way, your videos are very addictive haha. Great job you've done in a space of 3 years and a half, well done man.
