Some rows in the 3rd system may feature negative effects 😈

Played this for the first time yesterday, managed to win on my fourth attempt, score was 52 I think. Couple of questions. Am I right that you don't *have* to use energy when attacking? You can just roll to attack and not add any extra damage? Something in the manual seemed to suggest to me that you're expected to use energy unless you go for a single point of unavoidable damage. Second, the potion card says it is 'removed from play' after use - does this mean completely removed, as in you can't draw it again even if you find it in a chest?

About the exploration cards: adding these to the deck will increase the length of each round. So should these replace certain cards, or is it just part of the challenge that each round becomes longer once these are added? Also am I right that there is only one new exploration card for Tin Realm? Will that not mess with things a bit since each location is made with a pair of cards?

@jasonglover6615 Hi Jason, quick question, I currently have a number of your games in my cart at the game crafter, but as I live in the UK they are rather expensive to buy. Do you have any more sales planned , as I would wait until then , not sure where to ask, so hopefully you see this question on here 😊

Bought both Gate and Gates on PNPArcade, and sadly certain cards in Gate are stretched and look terrible to us that care about esthetics and precision. In addition, the card sizes are not identical to the card sizes go Gates. Come on Jason, fix this!

These mint tin games scream for iOS adaptations.

I love this game

I’m having fun so far. Just wondering though, when the item card smoke dust says once per level, what does level mean exactly? I am assuming it’s a one time use item but if it’s not, what does level refer to?

I wish this gets a PnP version soon since it's way too pricey for shipping in Asia. 😢

Thank you for the tutorial

You're a gift to the board game community. Thanks for doing this, it's all thought-provoking.

Cheep art is always going to be just that - cheep.

I like this separate book idea. 1 card can be so many things. And homebrewing a book is easier than cards. I am excited about this game. Is it still coming along?

I’m building a combat system that uses competitive die rolls similar to your 2D12 idea. Rather than each character getting a round of attacks, they engage and the better (modified) roll wins the round. The damage is determined largely by the difference in die rolls (modified by fighting styles, armor, and weapon type). This introduces a sort of bell curve so that extreme results are more exciting. This also requires me to create a largely simultaneous action system that somehow doesn’t bog down or prevent players from doing cool individual actions.

You could go the three-row route and have the bottom two lines locked behind a recipe system or level system that you can find or buy to unlock the bottom two rows. Just an idea.

Percentile dice games: Runequest, Pendragon, Warhammer, Call of Cthulhu, Chill. Most gamers I know use 2d10 of different colours, one for the tens and the other for the units. In every game for over twenty years my groups have always used Red for tens. Everybody knows the house rule and there is never any confusion. The dice are numbered 1 to 0.

Really love this game and everything your adding to it!!

Iron helm is such an amazing game im glad your creating more content for this. Any plans to create different dungeon map cards like snow desert etc?

I noticed in the video at 24:47 that it is mentioned when 2 skulls match up you lose immediately, however it looks to have been changed in the rule book to "Matching 2 skull icons will result in you losing half your current life and having to move back 3 spaces on the map cards." Nothing special is mentioned about the Fearamid card either, it is just double sided skulls to force a full skull placement

I am a little too fond of vids on dice mechanics. Is this my path to Carcosa?

Got mine today 🫡

I love your games , thanks so much for hours and hours of fun !

Is it possible to take the race of Catfolk in Tin Realm as a playable chracter? It seems the race ability is for Tin Helm.🤔

I got my copy delivered today! Cannot wait to play; I absolutely loved Tin Helm and DustRunner - very much looking forward to Under Quest too. For such physically small games, they really do pack a thematic punch. Thank you for all the time and effort you put into them ❤

I came across Gate on TtopSim, Played it quite alot but the only thing stopping me from buying it physically was that it needed a tweak to make damage and fear actually dangerous. Gates is the perfect expansion, you have really outdone yourself and I know I'm a bit late to say this but you're incredibly talented and you make amazing games. Gate gates Tim helm etc all spectacular. I hope its not a bother if I order some thing so late after production. 😊

I've played a couple of games now. The first game was on the easiest map, and it was easy to win. I had good rolls and a strong hero. The second game was on the hardest map. My character wasn't quite as strong. My rolls weren't quite as good. I got down to one health a few times and barely got home on day 5. This game is wonderful. It feels like a good step forward from Tin Helm. Some additional decisions to make. I like it a lot. The way the map is put together, you can customize the difficulty of the map by choosing how many of the cards to use with more or fewer points to stop at along the way.

Just got this a couple days ago from the Crowd Sale. Game is awesome, love it. Though I did notice a minor issue on a few cards that refer to once per level, but Tin Realm uses days not levels.

@jasonglover6615 Great game, I just played it. Could you clarify the race's card you show in this video, the Dweller? On this video the Dweller can spend 2 favor to gain 1 food, but on the version I received the Dweller card states you gain 1 energy (not food). On The Game Crafter's product page the animated rotating race card picture does show you gain food, but the components list picture shows you gain a energy. thank you for response on this and again for the great game. (yes, I corrected the Vile Shores card, easy fix.)

Confusing. Also lacks any color.

quick question. at 29:10 do you spend favor or energy to gain food.? You said energy but pointed at favor.

Ordered a few days ago and waiting to get this card golden collection!!!

Do you ever go below 1 fuel to 0 or do you always sit at 1 fuel for use?

Fascinating to hear a designers perspective! I just got the second edition recently and there’s a lot more content with it. They did add the ability to flee combat too, thankfully. 😂 It’s the pit of despair that killed me off on level 3 just before on my first try (easy mode)!

things like the buckler could start with energy on them that you discard or add to your energy pool when you use it? That way its kinda like as it gets battered it isn't as heavy or something?

the D12 method is a lot like the Frostgrave combat system.

I just discovered your game iron helm and I am also a resident outside of the US. So you know that it is quite expensive to get into your game. Are you going to have a sale sometime soon? Or even better a distributor here in Europe? I just love your art, style and gameplay you offer. Maybe you could get in touch? Best wishes to you!

Can you use the Cloak mod to avoid the Dustworm? 🪱

Really enjoy how you go about talking about your process and gameplay thoughts. Very clear and intuitive to follow at least for someone like me not well versed in the hobby. Love how the game looks and feels so far and excited to see where it goes as I follow along!

Love the Skelepede! Awesome name. I dig the dice damage system.

I love all your games and art, keep doing all this amazing projects

Do you have a longer video regarding dice system? This video was great! I am curious about other systems since I want to create a story driven game with dice mechanics.

Hi, your games are so great! I've bought tin helm, tin realm, dust runner, the gnome pack and I've downloaded the pnp version of iron helm and desolate. I have a question: how may I use the promo card for tin realm ( dead field)? I mean, with this promo card the exploration deck will be with an odd number of cards... Ty.

I am thoroughly surprised that I have not heard anything about this game yet

I see the artificial in a.i but not the intelligence....

Will the Dustrunner promo cards also be available in a separate pack?

I love it. It is faboulous. Is there any way to get Your games in Europe? Iron Helm, Tin Helm, Tin Realm? So unique style for crafting games and such a cool artwork.

A M A Z I N G ! ! ! ! Can´t wait to play with all of those new cards!!!!

I think you just converted me to the pool dice mechanic 😂 thank you for all the tips!

Imo the word "elegant" is the highest compliment a board game can have. Yup, this game is elegant!

ok, why I never heard of this subtracting one dice from the other thing and taking the absolute value? That is really useful. Thanx
