It was a great episode, not only because "The Allies" finally had some things go right, and not only because Simon finally found his father (sort of), but because it was so much fun watching YOU get excited for YOUR characters. It was clear that you were having a blast, and that was great to see and to feel that energy come across to your viewers. Keep up the great work ( or is it play).

What a heck of an episode! After such a long run of difficulty, it's great to see Simon & Co get some real success-not just against the mercenaries, but in finally finding Simon's father! And that twist at the end... oh boy, this is getting epic! You've probably already heard this, but have you thought about trying the Game Master's Apprentice deck? It's another Mythic-like solo aid, but it's a deck of cards instead of a chart with dice. Since you already use poker cards for initiative, it might be a fun addition to your arsenal. Each card has a ton of great prompts (I particularly like the sensory prompts). Personally I like it better than Mythic, but it would work great as a companion for it as well. Anyway, eager to keep up my marathon! I'll be caught up before long, haha.

Hi Trevor, Really loving the show!! I've been following since episode one and it's been a great adventure. :) I just noticed in the battle you forgot to add in The Drop bonuses for the two ranged attackers in the merc group. 4:14 - The ranged attackers had The Drop (+4 to hit and damage) 5:31 - The archer had +4 for The Drop, but you only counted it as 1 (Rolled 2 - 1 = 1) and missed the +4 6:41 - the spellcaster should have also got +4 but you didn't mention it Sorry I know it's too late now, but could have turned the tide of battle. Awesome episode as always and great surprise at the end. :)

Yup, mistakes sometimes happen when running a big battle by myself - and six cameras too! ;)

@MeMyselfandDieRPG 4 жыл бұрын

...and you're right about the archer, he should have got the +4, which would have scored a regular hit in that case. That might have altered the beginning a bit, *if* he had shaken Arne (or worse), but Fane's roll exploded to a 12 - and neither Arne nor Edbert came anywhere close enough to beat it (so a 16 with the +4 wouldn't have changed anything).

@@MeMyselfandDieRPG Hey no worries at all Trevor. Sorry, I can get a bit details-orientated so I pick out things like this.... hope it's not annoying. :) I'm absolutely LOVING the series.... it's definitely my favourite roleplaying series on youTube. I normally do GMing for Savage Rifts so this series has inspired me in my games. I've bought Mythic GM Emulator and have been playing some solo games myself, as well as using the Mythic system to generate some encounters and side-missions for the game I run. It's been good fun! Not sure if you've seen it but there's also the Adventure Crafter which also suits for solo roleplaying to generate more detailed encounters with some really interesting plots (kind of like Mythic Emulator but more detailed): www.drivethrurpg.com/product/261479/The-Adventure-Crafter And Creature Crafter is good for interesting creatures to create: www.drivethrurpg.com/product/62850/The-Creature-Crafter I've used both and they're quite good. But keep the videos coming.... they're really great. :)

Yeah, I've got those too. Really good supplements! I wanted to keep things fairly simple for the show, though, and not use *too* many randomizers - as I've said, there's a lot to handle for one guy as it is. I'm glad you're liking it!

First let me just say, what an ending , just when I thought it couldn’t get better their it goes. Second, after watching that extraordinary fight play out I would love to see Simon and company to finally get some recognition for their deeds. I mean they bested what was said to be a bounty hunter of renowned skill, cleared out a temple for necromancy, Saved a what I assumed to be a “on the map” town (since it was booming) and then showed his mercy to said renowned bounty hunters, who I’m sure if they live to tell the tale would have to mention how Simon killed with such precision and could of took their life if he wanted to. I’m just saying he should have some stories about him floating about, even if they don’t mention him by name they should know of his actions at least.

@marquisealexander1371 4 жыл бұрын

Few plot holes in the story, most noticeable ones are the time span between Simon’s parents capture and his fathers escape. Assuming that it’s been a few years, it mean his parents has to have been in the necromancers crypt as a captive. However it could have been for more than a couple of years cause it wouldn’t make sense unless the necromancer was experimenting on them and only managed to turn his mother while the father remained resilient until his eventual escape. Still I wouldn’t put their capture for more than 3 years. So we can assuming that Simon is only 18-21, considering his last saw his parents as a boy. Another thing was the father escaping with the sword, if he was a captive for sometime, how did he manage to get his blade to escape?
