I talk about why you should play Trophy Dark, a fantastic narrative dark fantasy rules light system that has brought me a huge amount of fun.

I've only played Trophy Dark once and it was one of my favourite games. I love the collaborative aspects of the storytelling and the questions asked by the GM which get my brain flowing.

As a longtime Call of Cthulhu/Trail of Cthulhu Keeper, I really appreciated the purity and focus of Trophy Dark for short-term games. Great review.

As an oldbeard from the late 80s I am so magnificently happy that we have entered a golden age of TTRPG, glad to find your channel and subscribed. Look forward to seeing all of your back content.

Glad you enjoyed it! And yeah, it's an amazing time to be into TTRPGs.

Love the video! I agree with the bit about expectations; it's an excellent system for single scenarios/one shots!

Thx dude! What a wonderful game! And a very nice presentation, too. Subscription more than earned.

Thank you for the super kind words

Thank you! I've been looking for a review of this game that I could send my table ever since seeing... (holy shit!) your actual play of "A Warm and Pleasant Hum", but KZfaq has been rather short on Trophy Dark reviews lately.

Cmon Wasabi. Run this again!

Such a cool system and different spin on fantasy. I bounced off gold but we run dark all the time.

@wasabiburger3047 Ай бұрын

that's interesting because I also bounced off Gold. I haven't given it a fair shake just yet so I am holding off on having a cemented opinion but when I read it after Dark it did not hit the same. I think that might change with a good group/GM to introduce it but the mechanics of Dark are so tight it's hard to beat.

Wonderful review! I gotta try this some time.

Hell yeah! I had a similar experience with TD, heard about it a lot on Fear of a Black Dragon, then played a game of it and immediately going and buying the books and running about five games in the next fortnight. I think there's something really freeing about knowing where the story is going for players. It allows them to lean in and engage with the premise a lot more. I've found a similar effect happens with Ten Candles, and since playing TD have actually taken a lot of techniques from Trophy back to a Ten Candles game, especially those "paint the scene questions", such a good tool to focus player involvement.

Also, I think this may be the first time I have ever experimented with slowing down the playback speed; you’re going like 1.5x or faster already. 😂

@wasabiburger3047 Ай бұрын

Haha sorry, my talking speed is naturally so fast, I am still working on slowing down :D

I have you to thank for really turning me on to T:D Wasabi. It instantly became one of my favorites, especially to run( still only played that 1st time)! Contest rolls absolutely rock and I have to say if you aren't doing them you're missing out on a key component of the game. Grab the hardcover it's one of my favorite rpg books in both presentation and content

Awesome video Wasabi! Best introduction to Trophy Dark right here. I picked it up a while ago & haven't run it yet. I can't wait, it's an amazing game!

@wasabiburger3047 Ай бұрын

Thank you! I hope you get around to it soon, it is absolutely a blast!

@EricVulgaris Ай бұрын

aww hell yeah great video. trophy dark is so good

@KyleMaxwell Ай бұрын

I've run this game many times (disclosure, I contributed very minority to the Gold book). IMO this is one of the best derivatives of the masterpiece that is Cthulhu Dark.

You sold me on it. I’ll have to pick up a copy.

I heard it back and knew I did and I actually thought of you in that moment, Mitt and left it in. As a little treat.

I like pronouns. I would go so far as to say that I use them every day.

@wasabiburger3047 Ай бұрын

deep breaths, little buddy

@iPwnedMSCS Ай бұрын

Pictoushead doesn't use pronouns. Pictoushead always refers to pictoushead's self by using pictoushead's name. Pictoushead won't be subverted by the woke pronoun agenda.
