Leshy is a Slavic 'forest spirit' type thing, sort of like an old man nymph or dryad that watches over an area of forest and doesn't tolerate anyone disrespecting his territory, such as doing things like hunting and chopping down trees without express permission, or even just passing through unannounced. They can be appeased, or even befriended, but the wrath of a Leshy is a terrible thing.

I love how Ratau has a little paper hat version of a crown. Yeah, he's TOTALLY not going to stab you in the back later...

I read this title as "I will build a cult of CARBS" and was like 'oh, neat, a bread army!' ... But i guess crabs will have to do.

wolf in sheep clothing would explain the veil over it's face and the faces of it's minions. I think your theory is probably correct!

I love the hat weapons its like if Cappy from mario odyssey was out for blood

Speaking of a D&D setting with dead or missing gods, grimdark premisis, and incentive to fraternize with dark powers, there exists an setting called Grim Hollow for 5e. It might be worth a look.

Dodgeroll on B is probably going to make most sense to most people. This is what I usually bind it to, unless it's something like Cross Code where I am aiming with the right stick, then it's much better on one of the shoulder buttons, as you can dodge and aim at the same time 9and this is actually a mechanic in Cross Code where you can dodge mid aim, it teaches you it in the 3rd combat tutorial)

Your D&D idea works perfect with the "Red Opera" Setting At least the whole deals-thing It is set in a city of warlocks

Your idea for a D&D campaign sounds like Stormbringer, in that system you made demon pacts to cast spells.

On one hand, I really want to watch more of this, on the other, I don't want to spoil anything. I kind of ended up doing that with Hades. Also, does that background music sound similar to AC: Odyssey for anyone else?

I think that the idea Wanderbots had about his D&D campaign sounds a lot like Shin Megami Tensei/Digital Devil Saga/Persona, I like it!

I can't wait for the full release. This looks cool and cute.

Looking forward to part 2. This is genuinely one of the games I'm most looking forward to this Summer.

Dude, this is crazy, the music itself gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside, and the gameplay and cult management looks so fun! I'll probably add thos to my list of favorites with the likes of Dead Cells and Darkest Dungeon!

this feels like a mix of dragon quest builders and binding of isaac, wrapped up in a cuphead artstyle with a satanic theme. i like it, we need more games like this, that take 2 genres that dont normally intersect and make them work.

I think centering a game of D&D around the concept of making deals with entities is an interesting idea. Just know that you will have to deal in a fairly "transactiony" sort of way. People know the tropes. And I have been on the side where we looked at the wording of a deal offered to us for a good hour and a half, just to reject it in the end. I feel a bit conflicted about the idea of trading favours. Maybe do that in a sort of, "players do a task and I pay them when they need it," fashion. Else you will run into the problem of "the service has been provided, you must pay up now." While the service in question was not worth the price that they weren't told. Just my two cents from a writing perspective.

Finally, Cult of the Lamb.

Decorations actually do have a practical use. They'll sometimes be requested by followers, but they also generate faith, like, in general, and keep followers happy.

My dad has made a homebrew campaign where the players have to decide whether to aid the archfae that made the new plane in getting it cemented. They also can aid the void entity that wants the plane destroyed because it was created in its domain. Depending on their decisions and how they end it, they could become gods or spread their faith to the new plane. The new plane has no gods until it gets cemented.

when you sacrifice the goat too much and it gains 10/50 stats with undying sigil

Hearing you say wolf in Lambs clothing about the god so got me to thinking that it's going to use your body as a conduit by manifesting in your body and wearing you as a living coat of lamb.

I love your LP Wander! Keep up the good work.

Can't wait for the release. Got it preordered already, and I think it has all the potential to be in my top 3 most played roguelikes along with Hades and Neon Abyss

So excited to see more of this game

i just realized this reminds me of a movie i watched once, mostly the art style

I will love this LP!

15:50 hes talking about the D&D thing he was thinking about, and it reminds me of a web-novel/comic im reading called omniscient reader's viewpoint, with the "borrowing power from other-worldly beings"

This game is so sick, can't wait to play it. Didn't even know it was a thing until today

Damnit, now I want to replay Hades As for the "Making a deal with entities" thing, check out the Choice of the Deathless series for some ideas; essentially one of the biggest professions is being a lawyer to prevent contracts of that type from being too onesided in the favor of demons, while still having to appease local gods and the like.

I love this so much, can't wait to see more of this!

I can't wait for the full release I pre-ordered the game and can't wait to have fun playing it

The combat reminds me of Ember Knights I imagine you've probably played that

Curse of the dead Gods meets Don't starve? Neat;o)

Le crab clut

Can we get Chelle to be a narator for the story?

The art is like Paper Mario and the gameplay is like a mix of Hades and Forager

What a cool concept

I like how you went for absolutely imeadeatly

This is something I've been wanting to see you play I also was holding out hope that when you have the time to check out a game Called "GODHOOD" I'd really like to see you make a playthrough of it Keep up the good gaming Wander

Great to see this game again!

even before you said bastion ... i said bastion .. its got the same crunch to the combat - this looks like it may be a real winner

This looks nice, but I remember I stopped being interessted because I some features I don't fully remember not being in the game. Nothing promised as far as I remember, but something that made it slightly less interessting.

ThE Crustaceans Crabs Cult

Woke up to this video, was watching Ultra-C play Nova Drift this was a nice surprised to wake up to though

Can't wait until this community gets stans.

Honestly the game I'm most reminded of while playing the roguelite half of the game is Binding of Issac.

the name Leshy just reminds me of that game Inscrpytion, specially the the music in the first area sounding like leshy's theme from that game

cute art and lamb for sure

I stopped what I was doing to watch this as soon as I read “cult of crabs”

Oh yea wander you can break the training dummies for extra wood!

I want to play this game so bad, next thursday cannot come soon enough

huh.. I didn't think the game would play like this. I was expecting more of a town builder to make a cult.

try puting the worshipers back to manual labor and back to worshiping, if they give you one devotion each time they arrive at the shrine, well, you can generate it faster

i guess faith is your major clock to stop permanent farmvill

I don't need sleep I need lambs

Im wondering if u can change the doctrine you have picked later on in the game

0:10 instent buildup just to shoot me in the back XD 3:50 well acording to your last vid its witch and the hundren knite but you dont like that

seems like the bosses are named after goetia demons (at least the 2 you met were) if that means we'll get 72 bosses, i'm all in

26 minutes into watching this and I bought the game. Wow does it look fun.

Sorry can't watch I want to play blind but I still love your vids so i'm just going to leave a like!

Man, how do you find so many awesome games

If any of my players of my DnD campaign see this video, please know that my major Gods died a long time ago before this game came out.

Zim planning an entire invasion

If building building gives faith, decorations probably also gives faith.

Crab Battle.

Corrupt their souls! Drive them to madness! Slaghter to the laughter of uncaring gods! For the glory of Chaos!

2 things that tell you a game is good, "Devolver Digital" and "fmod"

I actually play with family a lot for D&D, and funny that wander says that No D&D is better than bad D&D, my dad actually says the opposite, "Any D&D is better than no D&D."

Question, how’d you get an early copy?

26:47 bird jumpscare

wander DND beyond is a great way to play dnd online i use it my self

This was not what the title promised!

Getting some Binding of Isaac vibes from this....though not quite as ....grotesque

recommends go brrrrrrrr

The game reminds me alot of hades

Leshy is slavic

The main issue with your dnd setting idea is that it would come with a lot of limitations that would rub modern 5e-players the wrong way and be almost impossible to get help with or talk to anyone about with endless "you're doing it wrong, nerd"s. I actually have a fairly similar setting to what you're talking about. Most races are not inherently magical. They have to make deals with entities or blaspheme in various ways in order to gain access to magic. All of which result in various brands around the body (literally in the case of wizards). Mechanically this means there are no sorcerers, and none of the classes learn spells inherently through level up. Instead they have to source scrolls, tutors, magic manuals, ingestible monster parts, and holy texts. Which often makes them beholden to outside entities. That isn't just a warlock thing in this setting. Wizards and witches form covens and academies out of neccessity, not just for the joys of learning. Clerics form churches because the devotion they show their god is what lets them get access to higher spells. Druids keep groves because the magic inherent in the world that they use for their spells has to be cultivated and empowered more and more in order to get access to more potent spells. The process of improving your level is baked into the struggle and network of playing that class. Which means you have to do *incredible* amounts of effort if you multiclass. It also means that, for the average 5e player that makes their character and then comes to the table expect the DM to cater to them and bend the world to suit their character, they just simply can't play in this setting. They have to weave their character soundly into the setting and let themselves be beholden to the various organizations and structures found there in. Which most players seem to find anathema in my experience.

I want my cult to B all B’s.

I love dnd i am just bad at making friends so know one plays it with me i would love to play dnd with you but i am an idiot and sound younger then i am
