It's so good that NRB is paying attention to small details: they found an actual goth to play a goth character!

How nice to see Adam cosplaying as Dom.

"No more dad jokes" as a mechanic in an RPG is simply genius. Great job Tom!

Holly came in prepared with props and not biting it during her introduction... is this what we call character growth?

4:56 I feel like Brighton Shivers is the Saucy Cuthbert of the Shivers family

In my head canon Adam’s character took the name of his wife in marriage. Up until that point his last name was Fairmont

I absolutely adore Tom as a DM/GM/Keeper/Narrator. Tom's ability to set the atmosphere is absolutely fantastic!

Everyone's talking about the pop-up delights - and rightfully so, they're delightful - but the real genius of Shivers are the dice. Compressing everything to Works/Kinda Works/Doesn't work simplifies everything so neatly without sacrificing RPG depth. Genuinely considering importing it to something more robust, like DnD. After all: pass/fail/pass but in a funny way is all that really matters.

“what’s that dog? you think we should close the borders?” priceless

Adam figuring out what would happen with the chess piece just before Laurie used it, gave some real vibes of Adam figuring out who the demon was during the last vote on BotC but being just a moment too late to make a difference. Also, those dice rolls were really something else :p

I love the idea that someone asking for space is their "favourite saying" like, "Gee, I sure do enjoy telling people they're crowding me!" lol

I only got into the board game hobby about a year ago. I started with Star Wars Age of Rebellion and didn't really know where to go from there. But then I saw Adam's Board Game Masterpiece on Nemesis. The passion that was displayed in that video was enough to get me to not only buy Nemesis, but to watch the Board Game Club videos and purchase more games off the ones I really liked. I was able to get a small group of three of us to start gathering each week to play games using two foldable picnic tables pushed together with a customized felt top wrapped around a plastique sheet so the top was even. This group has now grown to 12 people with an average of 4-6 showing up for the weekly game nights I have. I have never experienced such joy in getting people together. Phones away, genuine human interaction, and hours of laughter and enjoyment. I truly wouldn't change it for the world. I have now finally ordered a legit board game table. The point is, you really have shown me "just how fun, board gaming can be."

Adam is embracing the character of Riley so much that he even dressed similarly!

You know, for being a grown woman, Holly’s pretty good at playing a nerdy teen boy. I kinda really want a second play through with another group, but keep dad joke Adam and emo Laurie in their roles with Tom as DM. Imagine Sullivan and Dom playing this together with Adam and Laurie, pure comedy gold. Rosie is made for a game like this. Please do it again, this was so good.

“I think someone’s in the dog!” “The dogs not in the dog?” 😂😂😂 Loved this episode, so fun!

Why was Adam’s backfire when making a gift for Holly so heartbreaking? 😭

Adam’s dad clock dad joke got me to laugh.

What's that dog you think we should close the borders? :') Laurie killed me with that.

Looks like it'll be a long winter because we've got a short Autumn.

No matter how many times I watch this intro, the masked guy side eyeing the camera and then looking away at the start cracks me up.

Tom the GM is back!!! This is just delightful

Adam's gotta be the king of comfy sweaters

Blair the Dog is absolutely SENDING me! 🤣

That's the most I've seen Tom smile

Tom's a brilliant storyteller

I worry that giving Holly a prop might cause a sequel to the gavle incident of 22

Blair's commitment to the role of Shep is a thing of downright beauty.

Not gonna lie, I was fully expecting “a smaller, better Blair” at 22:11 😂

44:30 Holly is so bad a t flirting that THE flirting hotline decided to call and be like "yo you need to work on this, mate" ... pure genius!

This game looks delightful. The popup scenes are beautiful. I wonder how many campaigns are in the box. Not to mention the extra props and effort of Tom.

I loved this! Adam’s dad jokes throughout the video had me dying! 😂 Tom being the DM was amazing! Overall just an amazing game session/video! 😄

I would absolutely kill to see Sully play this. You know he'd just have such fun with it

Tom does an amazing job here of demonstrating the principle I use i all my ttrpg games which is ‘the rules should never stand in the way of fun’

Thank god I just started my homework…now I have a reason to procrastinate!!!

This game is beyong charming with its style and presentation, and an excellent way to introduce people (presumably primarily families and/or younger players) into a new genre. And by playing as a precreated character, it's easier for them to "put on" the character and roleplay than if they were tossed into the (relatively) deep end and creating one from scratch.

It's always a good time when Tom is in the mix.

Tom got his retribution as a DM from not being invited in Terrorscape

After this one Blair is never beating the furry allegations

Yes Blair!!! Chainsaw man is awesome and Pochita is the cutest. Love the reference

I wasn't expecting such a short Autumn, but I was expecting the power of friendship triumphing at the end. That is what I am referring to.😂

I adore this, IT HAS A MINIATURE OF THE CHARACTERS, WHATS BETTTER its such a cool prop too! Dom did great

Tom: "Your treasure, chocolate coins!" No! Shep, it's a trick! Nooooooo!

Teri is the unsung hero of NRB🤣

I'm only 10 minutes in, and I'm already laughing my ass off. The cast of characters in this game is a *perfect* comedic recipe with the cast of characters on this channel 😂 I thought I was bad with women, so it's nice of Brighton/Holly to prove that there's always someone worse. I have yet to cause a woman a PTSD flashback while simultaneously nearly setting her aflame 😂 Adam, I'm ashamed of you! No dad joke for shrunken Autumn? "Oh, Autumn, it seems you've run into a... small problem." It was right there! 😁 Blair playing a dog transformed into a human was a thing I didn't know I needed, but I truly did need it.

Man, this game was absolutely gorgeous and I was dying the whole way through. I needed this, thank you so much for the cheering up. This was such a fun episode.

I think this is my fav NRB video period. So fucking wholesome and cute and well I just plain love it.

An "escape room" meets "point & click - adventure" as a boardgame ... this is wild, I love it!

10:29 The slow turn makes it perfect

"Ice to see you" Icy what you did there. That's cool.

Tom is the best DM. His storytelling is top tier for sure.

My first thought was Tom has to be the DM after they did him dirty on Terrorscape or next Blood on the Clocktower could get ugly lmao

Lowkey feel like Brighton Shivers grows up to become Harry Peeps.

Adam’s dad joke was fantastic

“Lumber-Jack Russell” was so good i wish they’d called it the “Jack of the Day”

Tom is a great DM

Father and son - The Shivers - are basically combined the Inspector Gadget of spooky investigations. Thank goodness they also had a Penny and Brain to help them out!

I legit home one day we get a Blades in the Dark game run by Tom. I feel that setting and game would be up his alley.

Shep the action dog, I wouldn't mess with you, felt the pain when you returned to your normal body. I do find tabletop games daunting and have never played one, but that looks like a fun introduction game.

i can't believe none of them noticed the Jaws reference Here lies the body of Mary Lee died at the age of a hundred and three. For fifteen years she kept her virginity not a bad record for this vicinity

DM TOM IS BACKKKK

Got this on kickstarter but haven't played it yet, you did it well! And I'm sorry, Holly is so adorable it ought to be illegal.

Blair mentioning Chainsaw Man! I love her.

I backed the kickstarter on this. I have only got to play it once but, was very fun

"forearm strength" "no he's only got two". Brighton taking after his father

ITS THE BEST TIME OF THE WEEK!!! ITS BOARD GAME CLUB!!’

This was utterly delightful. 10/10.

Yeah The Shivers is everything I hoped when I bought it at Pax! I can’t wait to run this with my board game group now

YES Tom as a dm again! This is the content I crave. Thank you!

that complication was DELIGHTFUL

More RPG content so soon after Red Dread Redemption? This has made my evening!

I love this channel so much. ❤ it cheers me up when I’m sad or worried and always makes me laugh. Thanks NRB! I enjoy everyone’s personality and quirks! What a fun group ❤

What a beautiful episode! From Tom’s story telling, to everyone embracing their characters! This was exciting, hilarious, emotional. This is one of those episodes where everything and everyone just worked!

I loved blair imitating the dog's facial expressions xD Priceless

Incredible episode this week. Absolutely loved this story. Tom was brilliant as always and everyone got into their roles perfectly ❤

"You get out an old dusty ouiji board." "Why does it say HASBRO in the corner?"

I swear this channel has at least 5 unstoppable personalities, it's AMAZING they all work so well together.

Had a blast watching this one. This is such a cute intro RPG

I've not been feeling well today. This was the tonic I needed to feel much better. Thanks!

Its nice to see Blair on No Rolls Barred Please lets have more of her please.

What an adorable game! I love this playthrough so much.

This episode surely stands as one of my favourites! amazing job everyone, especially Tom for that masterful DMing. this playthrough would make a perfect animated movie ;)

I'm so thankful for these amazing videos NRB peeps I don't want to compare channels, but this feels like a more home-y version of the Geek and Sundry Table top series back in the day.

I want everyone from NRB to play this!

I was saw this game advertised online but wasnt sure if it would be fun -- what a great playthrough! the jaws of friendship 😂 I'd love to see it played again.

So, I am really fascinated by the chess riddle not having a correct solution at all, despite the game kinda making it out to have one. And there is no other board in the house that would suggest a black knight as being the correct thing to grab. So what would have been the intended way to go about things if the players figured out "something is fishy, we shouldn't pick any of those pieces"?

TOMS BACK!

Great episode ! Would be really glad to see you play the rest of the game !

Blair as Shep the dog in a human body had me rolling. I haven't seen anything that funny in years! Great game

I have a feeling that Autumn knows what it is like to be Fay Wray.

The winning bingo numbers at 40:45 lol

It's the best time of the week! Love the content. Would love to see you lot play Killer Bunnies

33:54 - Oh, that seems fishy to me. Hopefully, it's just a red herring - or even better for Brighton, a Piano Tuna.

20:48 “What’s the Dog? You think we should close the borders 😮” This joke made me spit me spit out my drink 😂

I saw this game on Kickstarter and constipated backing it but in the end decided it wasn't for me. I still feel that was the right decision but wow you folks are entertaining. I think it takes a special group of people to make role playing work and the combination of this game and it's actors truly made this the best NRB video to date. Thank you, this was amazing

OH I LOVE THIS! Roleplaying games are always a blast and this was super fun and beautiful to look at! So many amazing moments, Brighton finally getting something to work, Autumns attitude was just like 13 year old girls should, Shep discovering new ways of being! And Riley doing his best to be a good dad! Tom shines as always, master of pacing and npc voices! Very insufferable little lad he brought out. Thank you for introducing this game, I have to get it!

Nice to see Blair RPing Pochita!

This game seems GD delightful. It reminds me of a point and click PC adventure game, like Monkey Island.

im really loving these RPG vids
