Ohh planning to get the cards! Whats the difference between DungeonMorph Crypts, Lairs, & Sewers Cards (black n white) vs Delver, Trailblazer, & Voyager Cards (blue cards)? The blue cards have 102 cards but black and white is 72. Would the delver be a better deal? but I totally dig the Black and White versions more. Do they make a difference on gameplay somehow?

Treasure seemed odd to me at first, but it's not bad, actually. You could just call it "resources." So instead of detailing everything you are carrying, you just use treasure. You need a rope to solve this puzzle? Spend treasure and pull that rope from your bag. Found a bunch of treasure after defeating a foe? Don't detail every item, just add to your treasure. Then, later, when you need something, spend treasure and say "good thing I found this after that last battle!"

Funny you mention this…. I REALLY disliked Dungeon Crawler, a card game I covered early on. That said, I will be returning to the game in my next vid, to see whether a cleaned up rule set makes the difference. If I truly dislike a game, I don’t spend time to make a vid.

Super helpful video. Really appreciate being able to see the different game books as you talk through them and hearing your thoughts. I'm one of those people on the outskirts of dungeon crawling games -- curious but more comfortable with the more controlled world of board games, but i'm so curious about keeping my eye open for a more hybrid game. Keep the videos coming!

Great topic, great resources, and great drawings! I think anyone can draw, and everyone should draw. It's a magical power we all have--to turn blank pages into worlds. Any skill level will produce great work if a drawing is: internally consistent, confident, intentional, and from the heart. That's why the Emberley method is so effective--it's extremely simple and easy to learn, but very internally consistent, intentional, and confident in its crudeness. He breathes so much life into a stick figure universe. Your drawings feel very from the heart. Keep doing what you do!

MAPS - my favorite things & you make some groovy ones that are useful and to the point! Make a World - I knew it was one of the books you were gonna recommend based on images. Inspiration galore and tons of fun! JP Coovert is groovy - really puts Emberley's examples in to practice. I did his dragon on a map for daughter and son-in-law engagement party, they loved it [it's hanging in their front room now and it is NOT fancy in the least, but they love RPG so it pleased them]. I really enjoy your maps!! Your evolving style is Fun and gets the important points ON the map so you can Adventure, and to me, that's what matters.

Respectfully disagree on the 2d6 combat. I thought the shift mechanism gave a real organic feel to combat and represented fighting skill very well. That laborer with one shift point is noticeably less able to hit than mighty adventurer me with 2. Only one weapon feels like a limitation, but as you mention you get more and better maneuvers, and shift ability, so progress feels very real. Suggest people check out an actual play to see it in action.

Your emphasis on story driven play and why it is important is wonderful to read and super validating as a DM who tries to bring that to their games.
