Man, I'm so glad someone with your recording, editing and narration skills is taking the time to do this. I'm listening to your episodes while painting some scenery for my first campaign. Keep up the good work, man!

@ProfEngelhardt Жыл бұрын

Something I'd love to see: a "Behind the Terrain" video where you talk about the decisions you make as you set up terrain. I'm never quite sure if I'm setting up too little, too much, not the "right" mix, etc. So, hearing your thought process would be cool.

@danieldemski5466 Жыл бұрын

My feeling on this is that setting up terrain is no time to stress the details, it's got more of a roleplaying or worldbuilding vibe; set up the terrain in whatever way tickles your sense of immersion.

@AL-id3hb Жыл бұрын

One of the general tips I've seen come up in skirmish games is to put all the terrain you'd like to use to one side of the board and aim to cover at least 50% of the total area before dispersing it all around.

@AaronQ64 Жыл бұрын

I think id try to to for enough terrain to make it feel like the place they should be in so if its an open air event center probably not a ton of terrain if its a ruined city theres probably a ton of things to hide around or behind. Just make sure it feels like what you imagine the place should be

I am playing through my first campaign of Five Parsecs right now! A large portion because of you! So thank you. My friends and I are playing in a shared world. We all share the planets and stuff, so we can travel back and forth. Plus we can play co-op or rival missions when we meet up. I had the same question you did about recruiting, but I ruled opposite. To me, the sick/injured are still a part of the crew. So no free peeps for me. Also, when generating enemies, I think it is the max crew size that determines the amount of enemies. Not the crew number you actually bring. Right before that section there is a rule that says “you can bring fewer than the maximum number of crew, but you still generate enemies as normal. You just may save a crew member from injury”

I swear, man, this is the second system you've gotten me into, the first being Ironsworn. Love everything you're doing! Here's something I'm not sure you've ever covered.... any DIY terrain ideas or the like? I find that with my expanding from more traditional ttrpgs, with minimal terrain but using minis, into more of a pseudo-wargame style that terrain is what I'm lacking.

@danieldemski5466 Жыл бұрын

There are so many good DIY terrain videos on youtube. I've been watching Bill Making Stuff, but mainly for the entertainment value, it's been about a decade since I actually made terrain.

@AL-id3hb Жыл бұрын

I've literally used the bottle of beer I was drinking at the time as terrain for some games. Cardboard boxes, and other packaging. Cell phone boxes work well. Grab some rocks or chunks of broken pavement from outside. Bowls and dishes from the kitchen. Scraps of felt, paper, leather, etc for flat markings of rough terrain. Leggo. Lincoln logs (showing my age). Wadded up paper or tin foil. The world is your terrain, my dude.

I just stumbled on this video and binge-watched the entire season. I absolutely love it. I have started my own campaign and am having so much fun! The production value of these videos is off the charts. Great job, Trevor. I especially like the little cutscenes and dialogues that give the story so much character. My only gripe is that you go so fast that I feel it’s a bit rushed. I understand you want to keep the action flowing, but a little less speedy would result in a bit more relaxed experience for me. My compliments for this awesome video series.

Firstly let me say what an awesome series this is. I was hoping this would be an aid towards using the 5 parsecs rules. It has been so much more in terms seeing what is possible. This is truly a work of art and your story telling genius in itself. Enough of the fawning fanboy. I just wanted to say about the ratman quote..... it wouldnt be from the stand would it? Keep up the great work. This is truly the go to series for anyone wishing to dip their toe/claw/tentacle inton5 parsecs.

I'm not sure this discussion has popped up in this comment section yet, but as for the stuff you're talking about around 5:00 in this video: I haven't yet finished watching this video at the time of writing, so you may very well brush on these by the time I get to the end, but I would be very interested to hear what variations you're playing and why. I love 5PFH (and your series on it) and I've been playing it like crazy lately. I just started trying out some of the stuff in the Freelancer's expansion and I'm still getting a feel for some of the changes and whether or not I enjoy them and would be super curious to hear your reasoning for the mechanics, so I might get a better idea of how to utilize the rules as well! :D

@veiledspace Жыл бұрын

Very good! The sewer setting made me want to make a bunch of terrain for a new video hahah Remembering all those small rules details is really hard. On my last video someone pointed out I forgot to reroll on Aim, and I'm pretty sure I screwed up with a grenade roll too. Maybe some sort of GM Screen (well, just a sheet with the info, really :D) would be helpful. Once again, great work! It's always entertaining and inspiring

Like always, very entertaining video. The quality is so good! The Duck Back rule is logical and add flavor to the combat, but OOOF the amount of things to remember and the complexity added is intense. One question I wonder is, if a character has 1 stun on it when it lose composure and is forced into a "move to cover". would that count towards its only 1 turn action?

@jefferydraper4019 Жыл бұрын

Stunned after a successful saving roll always made sense to me. I mean, have you see the effects after armor stops a bullet???? That person is knocked down and out of it for a moment. If anything, the stun rules are VERY generous. Thats one reason I totally agree with the three stuns and youre out rule. I dont like the duck back rule though. Youre basically penalizing a pawn no matter the result of an attack. You can seriously misuse this with suppressing fire. Groups with larger numbers will just spend each time engaging pawns that have no way of actually damaging anyone to stall movement, grinding games to a halt. 22:20 That was a pretty good impression. 40:38 Wait...the hand cannon isnt 6", its 8." Definitely install the shock attachment to the shotgun rather than the handgun. The shotgun is TWO shots rather than one, so that could be FOUR stuns with a shock deice at the same range. Thats an elimination no matter what.

I thought the amount of enemies that you rolled on a mission had to do with your starting group independently n how many are active. But apart from that you have to get your breaks when you get them.

I managed to slip to the objective and run away with the loot before they even had a change to close range, phew...
