Quotes (from this video)
- I don't not every game needs to have deep lore Some people just want to play fun games Some people want to take the lore from game a and bring it into a game B where they like the rules better
- lore is interchangeable so you know one of my favorite games out there is space weirdos it has literally no lore it's fine I make up lore on the Fly
- I like the fact that they're giving you options to play with the models you already have without having to go through and go geez I don't know what are they trying to get a point like what is this again you're like well these guys are supposed to be tyranids oh well it didn't come across as tyranids or whatever I have a whole bunch of tyranids and so I should use this
- the rules are generic not the lore
- Are they officially model agnostic I mean sure yeah you can use whatever ever models you want I mean to be fair every game is officially model agnostic even if they don't say it is it is
- I just don't like moving them in a chunk I like being able to move them separately I don't like that that just here's a thing and the the type of play where it's like well this part has to wheel over and do this and then then you're attacking from a flank
- rivenstone is the game that you're talking about
- the problem is this well it's not the problem here's the most recent answer they still haven't produced the stuff yet but the most recent email I got from them which I think was in July was them saying another company is basically buying the game from us and they will do the production and the the Fulfillment

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Action Point Allowance — In the first edition, players had to spend an action point to play a card onto the table to play a location or to play a character. With the second edition, players can play one location and one character for free on each of their turns, and can spend action points to play additional characters and locations.
- Card Drafting — Players draw cards to populate the world with creatures, characters, and locations from their hand.
- Combat — Combat is resolved by rolling for initiative and then rolling for damage. Enemies can be aggressive or non-aggressive.
- exploration — Players explore locations on the map, drawing from different location guides based on set chosen for the game.
- Followers — Characters can have followers, like a horse or a fabricated follower.
- Item/Equipment Management — Players can equip items like swords, helmets, and spellbooks. There's a desire for more interesting ways to manage unwanted gear.
- Quest Completion — The game involves solving and completing quests to gain quest points. There are heroic quests and side quests.
- Set Collection — Crafting components can be collected to build items like the smelting kiln, hammer, and anvil.

- This game has a very, very high spot on my top 10 games with the best art.
- I love Rob Lemon's art so much. This game looks so dang cool.
- It really does feel like a big huge kind of sandbox game in a really really small box.
- And so it just makes the game a lot faster and it populates the world quicker with more interesting locations and more interesting characters to engage with.
- And I think with the second edition, the game is better than ever. It's faster. It's more fun.
