Definitely like the effort for a better production. PLEASE MORE OF THIS! ❤️

This is so entertaining....I wish this was a whole new series. Play until you lose or win. Would be amazing. Especially if you showed a little more of the Settlement phase and the hunt phase. The Showdown phase was perfect in this video. There is for sure more to the game than the tutorial gives you, but I am sure there will be many posts about that. Just want to say thank you again because the showdown phase you all showed was one of the most entertaining watch it plays you have done imho.

KDM super fan here. First of all this was really fun and entertaining to watch and I hope you guys play it a couple more times. The production that Chris did was absolutely well done on his part. Ill mention a few things that you guys may have missed (or it might have gotten edited out) or simply may be helpful for future runs: 1- FIELD OF VIEW AND INTIMIDATE : field of view is every spot on the map EXCEPT the survivors in the blindspot. (The intimidate size up ai card that the white lion did should not have been able to target the blue haired survivor, or the survivor next to the blue haired as potential targets for his random die roll) 16:54 - 17:05 . The way AI cards work is first you determine the target based on the top section of the ai card, then you do whatever is stated on the bottom side of the card. The reason size up (and other intimidate actions) are tricky is because the targeting is not followed by (move & attack) like most ai cards, and you do not need to be adjacent to the target to do the action. Simply after determining your target the card says to. "turn to face the target" and do etc etc. In this scenario 16:54 what he should have done is: a- Randomly target yellow or brown haired survivor based on a die roll as they are the only ones in his field of view. b- Turn to face target and intimidate them (regardless of how far they are, the monster is simply staring down his prey) by rolling a 1d10 2- GRAB: when you are grabbed you are placed in front of the monster knocked down and suffer x damage to a random hit location (roll hit location die) where x is the level of the monster (in your case that is 1 damage). This damage cannot be dodged 18:40 - 19:10 3- KNOCK DOWN AND STANDING: You stand up at the end of the next monster's turn. This means if you are knocked down on the survivor's turn you will be standing by the beginning of the next survivor's turn. However, if you were knocked down on the monster's turn, you will remain knocked down as your next turn comes as survivors stand up at the end of the NEXT monster turn. On the otherhand, monsters always stand up at the start of their turn 4- AFTERMATH / SCAVENGING when you scavenge the monster for resources you were supposed to get 4 white lion resources (gold deck) and 4 basic resources (blackish grey deck). This should help you build a few more gear than you probably did as the next lion is a bit tougher. 5- SURVIVAL ACTIONS RESTRICTIONS: you cannot use any survival actions during your own attack (you are apparently too preoccupied with attacking to dodge) 6 - SURVIVAL ACTIONS WHILE KNOCKED DOWN : the only thing you can do while knocked down is the dodge survival action (unless a gear or ability states otherwise) 7- COLLISION: if the monster moves through a survivor (collision) that survivor is simply knocked down. Additionally, if the monster lands on a survivor (also referred to as collision), the survivor is knocked down, as well as knocked back 5 steps in the direction in which the monster was moving into. In both instances you suffer no damage unless stated otherwise. If there is an object/edge of the board less than 5 steps in the direction you are knocked back into, simply stop in the space before that object/edge. If you were at the edge of the board/object when the knockback x occured, slide across either side x (your choice) x steps. I do want to mention that regarding strategy and tactical decisions you do need to give it time. As you get more gear, unlock new skills fighting arts weapon proficiencies, innovations etc.. There will be A LOT to think about. The settlement phase can take over an hour just thinking of what combinations of gear you want to place on which survivor and which of those survivors should you take on this next specific hunt. It really does feel like you are building/creating a big civilisation This also applies to combat as your turns will get longer and more thinkier in how you approach the monster, with whom, which weapon, what skills and etc. with many ways to mitigate the RNG If you guys only plan on giving it one more go, you probably will miss out on most of these decisions which is unfortunate but understandable if you are just not into these longer, slow buildup games. But if you play a couple more lantern years, the strategy of the game will definitely start emerging, the decisions will be much more engaging and based on what I've seen, I think you guys will probably enjoy it.

I like the format, reminds me of the Wil Wheton tabletop series! Just remember to get those 4 forgotten basic resources you didn't get there! It makes a huge difference to have 8 resources after the first prologue fight, not just the 4 White Lion resources. You should all have some sort of weapon for the second fight with those 8 resources. Also the fights get more complicated as they go on, players get different fighting arts to differentiate how they fight, and the bosses get extra abilities that you want to plan against. Edit, and for future plays if you do those, the settlement phase, the settlement event and discussions what to upgrade / build are some of the best parts of the game. Please don't cut those out!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is the most pro-looking/feeling content DT has ever put out. Chris has done an excellent job. Shades of TableTop. More please, you guys need to do a lot more of this. I watch pretty much everything DT but this was a cut above.

Tom do not forget to draw 4 basic resources! This will allow to build more gear in settlement phase and therefore change a little bit the next showdown. This video was very enjoyable!

"One of the things that kept me from wanting to play KDM was the gore," he says while wearing a blood-soaked tie.

This is a fantastic format. Wonderful job by Chris!

Wil Wheaton's "Tabletop" series is what led me and my family to this incredible hobby, and through watching related videos I stumbled into DT and landed there. The personalities and experience on display at the DT make me keep coming back for more. To see you guys pushing the envelope and making, what I know, is a very demanding Tabletop-style production really excites me. I know you can't do it all the time, but this is the perfect marriage of everything that brought me into this hobby. Thanks so much for putting this one together! I enjoyed it immensely.

Chris Yi, you are the man. Hope to see more of this format and/or more of this next level editing.

I know this was a lot of editing work for Chris, but I really enjoyed this new play and talk format as a nice change up. I like the commentary from players/reviewers within the edited game play in 'real time' as a fresh approach for Dice Tower. Even if you only do it monthly or such, as you said in the wrap party, I'd look forward to them. Thumbs up!

Wow the production quality of this video was amazing!

What an edit! Huge shout to Chris for that, music was great. Camilla is a huge addition to the team. I'd love to see part 2 of this.

DT vs KDM : one of the most legendary beefs in the board game world has officially been squashed

Definitely a fan of this style. Will Wheaton’s table top got me into board gaming so would be great to see DT make a similar type show. Great first step and very fun to just see the highlights. Maybe have Tom narrate the game itself like a story to tell us what’s happening/winning?

This was great to watch. Zee was so damn funny. Like others have said great production and editing. I'm in an opposite time zone so couldn't watch the stream but I would have loved to see the whole thing. Please add the extended play.

This was very fun to watch! I don't know if it's possible, but I feel like this could be a fun mini series playing KDM. I would love to see more! Either way this was a great video. Chris and everyone did a fantastic job.

Probably watch 200+ DT vids a year and you could count comments I make on 1 hand. Just had to say this is hands down one of the best things I've watched in ages, real tabletop vibes and the time just flew. Really enjoyable engaging content

You can choose which order your hit location cards are resolved, it matters a lot more reactions. A few other rule misses but entertaining and enjoyable!

Wow this was very entertaining. I would've never expected that Kingdom Death of all games would receive this treatment in the Dice Tower. Very cool!

Please please please keep Game & Talk. This is exactly the content I've been looking for!

This format is awesome! Game and Talk is wonderful. Great editing, Chris!

So happy to see the Dice Tower in a "TableTop" format!

This was so good! Worth every hour in the editing room, awesome job! Even the music. Had a blast watching this

this is the best thing i have seen in a long time! I really hope you guys do more with this type of series.

Wow, loved everything about this! So entertaining and fun, great job on the production and the cast is great as always. Hopefully there will be more :)

Absolutely primo editing on this video. I think it makes the whole thing. Incredible job, Chris!

Well done, Chris! The production level on this is significantly higher than what I've seen previously on the channel. Almost like Tabletop is back in production. I'm sure it took a lot longer than most people will expect. Outstanding!

really liked the new format. the game is mysterious enough and was filled with good text and actions. also the quality of the camera for the interview close camera was really good, the depth and sharpness it creates is really pleasant. hope you do more!

Love the series/style. I know it is a lot of work. Thanks Chris- nice work

This was one of my very favorite videos the Dice Tower has ever produced!!! I loved the production and how it was edited. The interview sections spliced in were very entertaining. I WANNA SEE PART TWO!!!

This was so awesome!! If there's a possibility to show the settlement fase, at least the new cards and shops and what you buy/make.

Very well done production with the camera work and editing. The interviews, dice on screen, and music were a great touch. Would like to see more of this style video, regardless of the game!

Nicely done! I truly appreciate all the work by the players, the production, and the editing. It was awesome!

This is probably some of my favorite content you've done. Whether KDM or any other game I really enjoy this style of video. It was very reminiscent of Table Top, which is a niche that's been sorely lacking in boardgame content since they stopped doing it. The length was spot on, it's better than just watching a raw minute-by-minute playthrough of the game, I like the interviews between turns. excellent content. more please!

This is so awesome, would LOVE a series like this. Thanks some much Chris and DT crew for the hard work, it shows!

I loved this! Great job putting all the highlights together! Please consider playing more of this. I'm really interested in the lore.

Huge fan of this style of game overview/review/chat. Love “in game” feedback and the way this was edited. This feels a bit like Tabletop which we need more of

I vote for more play throughs with this level of production.

I love this format! Please do more! Especially of Kingdom Death Monster!!!

This format is AWESOME! Thanks so much for making this!

Extremely well-edited, Chris! Kept so much fun banter, really good pacing, and the mechanical gameplay elements were understandable with the dice rolls and cards popping up on screen alongside Tom's rules explanations. Cutting away to player interviews was fun. The emotion of the players and fun of the game really was on display.

Very TableTop-esque… I like it. Could this be what’s more in store with the studio expansion? Hmmmm…

The editing here was great. Kudos. More of this!

Great job Dice Tower! Always been a huge fan of all your content except for the play throughs. This gives me hope that in the future I can enjoy those as well!

Great production on this. Good editing and a cool way to get a glimpse into a game like this.

Love the format! So much fun to watch. Great job everyone!

Wow! I can only imagine how time-consuming this video was. I hope it was worth it because I throughly enjoyed this format. We were drawn into the hobby by Wil Wheaton’s Tabletop series (which led to discovering Dice Tower) and this was a great echo of that approach. I really enjoy the interviews, the editing, and the truncated play through. Killmilla is my new hero. Zeevil is hilarious.. Devilisimo make some rewind to catch his quick wit. Tom is always on point. Chris Yi is an excellent editor (but we already knew that;). THANK YOU!

I totally love this format! You guys did an awesome job! Just 7 minutes in and I’m laughing already, it’s awesome having game moments like those lol

This was amazing. Your editor is a hero.

This was fantastic! Loved this format, please do more like it for other games!

Love this higher production quality. Also, if they actually finish a full campaign I'd be so pumped to watch the whole thing. The game has it's flaws but it's one of the most unique and rewarding games of all time.

Awesome video. I could see a series in this style really blowing up for you guys. Nice work!

Wonderful production and it was cool that you shouted everyone out even the painter.

Truly enjoyed this! I would love to see more of this in future playthroughs of different games. Hearing the players thoughts as you play was very entertaining. More please and great work on the editing!

This was great. I would love to see more of these. I really enjoyed the reality show style cutaways as well, very nice touch.

You can pick the order in which you resolve hit locations. I did enjoy the editing. Bra Mithra has some good full play throughs for those looking to see a whole play through.

this was so great - well done and edited. don't normally take the time to comment, but well done. Very entertaining and here's to hoping for more.

I really hope that you all give this game some more time. All of your initial criticisms are spot on. It is juvenile, it is gridy, and getting items that do nothing feels terrible. That being said, learning how to fight the horrible critter of Kingdom Death is an absolute delight. The more you fight them, the better you're able to exploit the weaknesses built into their attacks and hit locations. It can be a lot of fun, but it is highly dependent on the group. Can't speak to how much fun y'all are having but watching you play was a delight.

Thank you so much for doing this! It was entertaining the whole way through and looked great. this channel is the reason my partner and I play board games and we love KDM from the comments it looks like a lot of people myself included would love to see more of these! highlighting different areas of the game like hunt event settlement phase monster fight

Really really good editing and I love the choice in players!!!! The dice and card closeups really made this incredibly watchable and much easier to become invested in what I was watching. Dudes, keep this up.. seriously. Once every couple weeks or every month and you guys will be reaching an entirely new audience I think.

Tom , this is the best way to do your play through videos , and I’ve seen a lot of your plays . This was your best . It felt new and entertaining.

This was definitely the best produced DT video I've ever saw. Bravo to everybody involved (especially Chris)!

👋👏👏 well done, this edited version of full gameplay with individual thoughts and commentary was amazing!!! Look forward to seeing more of this with any game

This was an AMAZING play through! I would watch every one of your play throughs if they were like this 🤩

This was great. I think this format definitely benefits from having people that don’t know exactly what to expect, might not be their typical game type they like, but are still able to enjoy the journey.

Really well edited, Chris. This style of video is very entertaining especially with the “tabletop“-like interviews throughout.

I can't even imagine how much work went into this but it paid off. Well done.

Loved the editing on this! I think it was perfect for covering this deeply weird boardgame that most people will never get to see in person. Looking forward to part II and maybe part III!

Only halfway through so far but have to comment how amazing this video is. Would absolutely love if you did at least a few more plays of this in this format

Absolutely loved this video. Please continue

Chris, I hope you are proud of your work on this! The Dice Tower crew is always entertaining, and the editing on this video just amplified that all the more. Loved it :)

“I want to do cool things right now; not have to pinch a lion to death.” - Zee Great video. Would love to see more of this kind of gameplay and recap in the future and not just for KDM.

This was exciting to watch - not because the game is any good, but because of you all bringing the excitement and fun - greatly enjoyed!

Great video, best KD early gameplay I've seen so far on KZfaq! Hope you'll make part 2.

I love this! The talking heads at the beginning are great 😁

This is probably your best work in years! Excellent video!

Just a great video! Really fun to watch!

Loved this format!

Great format, very entertaining! Would love to see more of it

I need mooooar!!! Really guys, great work with this (I hope) new series. Can't wait for more.

Love this! Chris did a great job editing. Really entertaining. Let's do more!

Copying the Tabletop format really worked here. Probably the most interesting Dice Tower play through I’ve seen even not being particularly interested in the game.

This format is amazing please give us more

Love this format, the best play through I have seen you all do ... ! thank you I think KDM is definately a lifestyle game and is taken very seriously, but very cool to see it played like this in a much more light hearted way! - PS would be interested in your opinions on Aeon Trespass Odyssey when it comes out.... much more mitigation, more adventure, less dark theme and pre assembled minis... but also similar structure.

This is superb! Can't wait to see more :)

Love this kind of content, we may lean how the game can flows in the table and the conversation is pretty much entertaining.

This is a great format! Hope you keep it up.

Wow, the editing is great. Very funny too. Hope to see more of this type of videos in the future!

This was great! Hope to see more of this series.

I really like this format and hope to see more. Especially nice to see the higher production effort.

Never played KDM But I have to say, this was one of the most entertaining dice tower videos I’ve watched. Really enjoyed the way this was presented. Nice job crew!

Really enjoyed this content. Great cast, the production felt professional,and the editing was top notch. Add episodes to the series and do more games!

Absolutely love this format. Please make many more of this. Also really want you to continue KDM for at least a few more games.

absolutely loving this!

Wonderful - more please!

Amazing production work on this, I happen to like the game too

Excellent excellent video. A lot of effort in this video for a game that requires a lot of effort. I can imagine how this game evolves for its fans into something special, even if it's not for me.

This editing and production is fantastic!!

Loved this. More of there would be great.
