I've seen this game mentioned a bunch lately and was thinking, "I hope Joel reviews this." It's great to get a full overview in one sitting.

Just got my frosthaven, but I'm more excited for this

WOW Knowing this is a one person company, I almost feel bad for changing my address in the pledge manager, now realizing it was the designer who personally reached out to me informing my address had been updated and thanked me for the purchase. This one dude was literally doing everything. I.cannot.imagine.the dedication and passion it would take to be that guy. Well done! I admire him, and can't wait to play his masterpiece.

Good review! I personally find it too much to manage 4 full heroes in this game. But I’m not as smart as most other gamers. :) for me this game shines with 4 players each playing 1 hero.

This is the best ,most thorough review of this game yet!! Well Done!

Excellent review! This is very close to my experiences with AHQ… the Henchmen/Companion rules, the crunchiness among others …the overall depth is fantastic…I can’t wait to get my copy of this!

A friend backed this game and after watching this video I'm even more excited to give it a go! Thanks for the in-depth coverage!

Amazing review, glad you took the time to show this much of the game AND to _really_ talk about your experience with it so far and what you're feeling about it!

Great review! I loved your overview of the core mechanics, and seeing your take on what worked well and might be more ‘crunchy’ so to speak. I am so looking forward to getting my own copy! Huge kudos to Micheal, the game designer, for creating something that seems near-universally loved in our community. 👍🍾

Great review as always. I have streamlined games and DC games. But I do like these old school styled games. Takes me back to my 1970’s D&D days. I have Universalis so will be looking forward to adding this to my collection.

Thank you so much for this in depth,and exceptional review of this game. I missed out on this game,but I signed up for the reprint if he does one.

Great review, I have a much better understanding of how it plays and am looking forward to my copy arriving. I also have DUN, I am wondering if I will need both long term. Theme variation, I don’t think anything is going to replace Brimstone for me, especially if Adventures ever arrives. I do wish Brimstone storage was simpler, but brimstone storage is a hobby in itself. Now back to playing ATO!!

good stuff. I am awaiting my advance copy to arrive. Looking forward to it

Really good in depth look at the game. I'm so excited to be getting my copy soon!

This really does look cool, and I'm with you: it's great that someone has made a hex-crawler. In fact, if I squint and look sideways it sort of reminds me of the _HEXplore_ _It_ games, though the two games have different sweet spots for sure.

Thanks for the review ! Can't wait for it ! Even if you push me to fall in the DIY Warhammer quest with your last vidéo (trying with a Cursed city base to add all sort of factions and a dungeon mode with the WQ95 tiles and many others from the website you gave at 133%(4cm squares)).

Love the Dylan cover in the background :D

Wow. Very positive review. My copy is en route (hopefully!)

He’s going to be doing a second crowdfunding campaign on gamefound for an expansion and updated base game. I’m definitely going in on it!

This is a very very positive impression! Thank you!

That luck mechanic is exactly like Fate Points in old school Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. I loved that system.

I know it's a video game, but Elden Ring also has the different strength requirement for 1h or 2h. It's a pretty neat mechanic.

Excellent review really helps me thanks so much I love this game so good 😊

Awesome video! This helped me decide to back the campaign ending today. This game looks fantastic.

Thanks for the thorough walk-through! I'll keep my eye out for a second printing. Are points of interest generated on the hex map as you play? Because the bottom 2/3 of the map looks completely empty.

Ive been looking for a game like WHQ 1995 (as I dont own it any more) and so I heard this would be a possible contender so I also backed it a while back

I cannot wait for this game to arrive!

Great review! 👍

Thank you for a great review. I am just deciding on baking the reprint and this helped me a lot. Could you please just add few words on the companions please? I know you said you prefer the full character party, but would a use of companions work as the publisher says: significant decrease of bookkeeping with maintained playability? I am especially interested in fact, whether the companions can fully substitute the characters (eg hired thief companion) and their use will not make the game more difficult.

Very curious how this will compare with Dungeon Universalis

Oh my how I can’t wait for this to show up!

A good review as always) but I have to disagree on two points - the first "tutorial" at least for me was quite easy, however, the second one, in the dungeon with the big rat was REALLY hard, as on a d10 enemies in the final room I rolled 9, and on the third I had to retreat from the FIRST room, as a couple of wights with armor 4 (considering that an avarge weapon deals 1d8 damage, i had to roll above 5 to deal at lest some damage) almost TPK me, and there was supposed to be 1d6 of them, so this game can be very random The second point is: well, in my opinion, the game actually needs a few more components, like weapon and item cards, talent&perk cards, it is very tedious to check the rulebook what does every single item that you have, and if you just write it down on the back side of the character sheet, as you're supposed, you are going to forget about it altogether. That's why I'm making some custom cards for the game, you can find them on bgg in the variants section.

Weird question - How important is it to differentiate between the different colored d6’s? Are the dice referenced by color in the rules? Or do you some time roll 2d6 or 3d6 and need to know which roll is which? I have some credit with Wyrmwood and was considering using it on some fancy size for this game. If I get these, they will all be the same color/gem stone.

Great overview of the game as usual. Thank you. I played dungeon universalis, which o e would you say is better?

After 5 months any additional thoughts? (Asking because the game found release for next printing was just announced)

Have you played Shadows of Brimstone with the HexCrawl campaign stuff?

Thanks for this. Nice review. Are you still enjoying it 8 months later?

Seems kind of like Warhammer Quest and Advanced HeroQuest folded into one and more complicated than either. I would totally be interested if I didn't already have both of the before mentioned games. Too crunchy I think for me to manage.

Have you ever played Dngeon Universalis? Would love to hear your thoughts on that one and the comparison. And thank you for this one 🙏🏻

Amazing review! I’ve ordered almost everything except the ancient desert expansion. Do you recommend it??

How deep is the character customization? Like is there more than one way to build a warrior , a hunter etc….?

How is the narrative and storytelling? Is it window dressing or something actually engaging with good twists and turns?

Thank you for this review. This sounds interesting for sure. My question is how does this compare to dungeon universalis?

late pledge is currently available

Is there any word on whether there’ll be any copies available, outside of the folks that backed it?

I wonder where you would place Ranger of Shadowdeep, your number1 game of all time iirc regarding this one.

Hi Joel, I'm after a good RPG board game. How does this compare to Hexplore It which is current on Gamefound?

11:48 Can you give us any information on price and availability please? It's remarkably compact for such a great value! Is the shown storage theirs or yours? i was sold as soon as you lifted up the Mostrous Manual! xD Games are lookin' up, but unlike my current favorite this one has a LOT of bang for the buck! I love G.I. JOE MIssion Critical, for me, it's Neo MageKnight, but my GODS to they gouge ya'! One of the expansions is a *single* mini and card! o.o i can already see that if i miss this, it's another Shadows of Brimstione/Black Fortress scenario! That's why i had to cut down on my board gaming F.o.M.O/P.T.S.D. does not make for a fun emothional cocktail......... i knew better than to click on this but i just had a *feeling* about what it was (Duh, that's a Great Name!) Like finds like. After all, i somehow *didn't* miss G.I. JOE: Mission Critical and that game is about as popular as Bob Remus at the height of Dessert Shield. xD

Have you tried Dungeon Universalis

The one rule I hate is that when you purchase an item it is not new. After you purchae it you have to role to see how damaged it is!

Great thoughtful review! Can’t wait for this. A kind of new era of WHQ95. ?…High praise from you !
