Excellent explanations.

I enjoy playing 4AD but with the amount of material scattered across many books this is definitely a game in need of a Hitchhiker’s Guide to help navigate the options. Thanks for another great video !

Great video! Thank you so much for this. When I first got into Four Against Darkness and saw the wide variety of supplements available for it, I did a bit of research and grouped them into publications that would take my game in the direction I was interested in (party based, old school, fantasy, dungeon, town and outdoor adventures). Your recommendations are spot on and a great way to get started. I plan to make my way through most of the premade fantasy-focused adventures as well.

As a relatively new player of this series, I couldn't agree more with your choices. Excellent job! I have purchased a BUNCH of books with no regrets, but if I would've seen this video beforehand my focus would have been better. Thank you!

It's true. I've been waiting for nearly two years for the supposed 2e core book, and Andrea hasn't given much in the way of an update.

Many thanks. This is the very question I've wanted answered.

Really helpful video thankyou. I got in early on 4AD but haven't touched it for some time and had no idea that there had been so many new expansions!

Bring back the hook! Edit YES! 7:20 hook! :) I love 4AD, but it aint half a difficult one to tackle due to the massive pile of supplements. I'd say Base game, 4 against the abyss, All the twisted books and wayfarers guide is a great starting place.

Long time fan of your work. Hope to try d100 dungeons too. But I finally took the plunge and bought my first 4 books for 4AD. 4AD , Abyss, twisted minions and hoards. But where do you get these in print? I can only find pdfs.

Twisted Dungeons and Twisted Minions are both still two of the best expansions (like yourself I bought the pdfs all those moons ago) as you can set up basic themed adventures, good for players that don't want zombies popping out of one room directly next to a hoard of goblins that somehow have immunity to undead attacks.

Thanks for doing this one, I see 4AD everywhere on the solo roleplaying subreddit

This is a great video, I fully agree! 👍👏

2024 and no sign of any revision of the Core book, they continue to release new books and new similar games. To purchase physical copies from Amazon is $20-25 AUD and the pdf's have stayed round the same price. I would agree that the is kind of cheap, but as you get into it and play a few games, you can get caught and amass a fair bit. I just got the OSR Dragon-slayer because of this game, I loved the old school feel, but wanted a good physical Hard cover kind of left me wanting more. so to clarify this little game got be back to the gaming table playing.

Great overview, thank you! I sometimes miss a story arc when playing 4AD. Which books would you recommend if I wanted to introduce a stronger narrative element into the game?

wow you are amazing i was thinking on that ...ty

Theres also Four Against the Great Old Ones, which i think recently got a new supplement .

Great video - thanks! Would the Pixie book allow for play in the animal world - mice, etc?

Holy cats! I didn't know that there was that much available for the system.

Great video - thanks. Would you please do the same for 40k?

Are there any derelict spaceship crawlers out there that are in the same vain as Four Against Darkness

A great little game that you can expand as much as you fancy, but its crying out for a second edition of the core book ... the current version is a real mess and could be a barrier for new players.
