Congratulations, you have accomplished something that Derrick couldn’t. I have preordered the KS based on your play through. I thank you; my wallet not so much.

Thanks for the playthrough Colin! And thanks to Tristan and Derrick as well. Looking forward to when this KS delivers.

This was great. Thanks!

I love Tristan Hall games! Very cool you picked this up :)

22:07 Well, influencing can be any number of things. Threatening it is influencing it. I know trying to seduce this thing would be funny, as would trying to befriend it given the image on the card. You could also think of bribing it to ignore you as influencing. Anything that shifts it's current intent is infuencing. Influence is a wide spectrum term. Combat is straight up just trying to kill it. Sneak is outright avoiding it's notice. From a role playing perspective, and maybe taking it out of typical context, the Rat Thing has spotted you, and begins talking non-stop about all it's woes, the weather, and everything else preventig you from moving directly on. You could kill it on the spot, try sneaking away as it is so invovled in it's recollection it forgets you exist, or use influence you counter it's chatter with yours, dumbfounding it so it is lost for words and confused, or perhaps it simplely finds your non-stop chatter obnoxious and leaves. You might tell it off for annoying you, or give it something to just shut it up. I'm sure you could get further creative than myself.

Thanks for the playthrough Colin but you made a little mistake on the goblin chief, hé must be defeated twice French cheers

It is looking good. Seems less punishing than Veilwraith from this playthrough? I still haven't finished the Absolution campaign after taking long breaks between vignettes.

If I were to jump into the kilforth games for the first time, which would you recommend? Start with the first or are they similar enough that a later version is more polished and a better experience? Thanks!
