As have I. The buy-in is a little off-putting though. I was looking at the Age of Fantasy stuff, and worked out that to get the books, boards dice etc was £80+.
@sologami3 жыл бұрын
@@blastvader You do not need the dice. Just d6s and identify which number is which symbol. That is not a buy in. I keep reading about buy-in and you really just need the main rulebook and whatever theatre you want to play in. If you want to go all-in, sure, dice go higher (same with measuring and tokens). If you want to pokemon it, sure it gets pricier :-D

I played the "dark age" Saga a lot. It is really fun. have not tried this one or fantasy-Saga. The battle boards are very important. Some are wacko but traditinoal historical matchups I ahve always found good/fun.

Hello. I came here because I'm interested in Saga but I wanted to commend you on the quality of the batrep. I tend to get motion-sick when someone hand-holds the camera, or bored when someone just mounts it above the table and leaves it, and have spent a lot of thought on what I think would make the best batrep. Yours is the closest I've seen to how I would do it if I could. Composing interesting shots and putting your camera on a tripod makes the game easier to follow than a top-down map. is wide enough to give me context of where the action is happening. and doesn't leave me dizzy. Good job!

@TylerProvick2 жыл бұрын
@@tabletopcp True, but I find it hard to suggest. After editing my painting videos I know how much work producing videos is. I know how much work it is even for the people who do the single-shaky camera batreps. Much less cutting between what appears to be 3 cameras and pausing play to setup camera angles. It's the kind of video I would like to make if I could, but I know it's a lot of work and not only does shooting the thing take longer than a normal batrep, but editing was probably a minimum of 5x the finished length.

Love Saga! Quick rules tip: when you leave dice on your battle board at the start of your turn this does not influence the amount of dice you are allowed to roll. This way you can build up some abilities until you are using the 8 dice maximum.

Nice game and a nice change. I liked watching it and the rules seem quite neat. If we are in new games, did you think about branching out into a different scale, like 9mm or 6mm instead of the 28mm? In my experience, these scales make for more strategic games.
