Quotes (from this video)
- Y'all, we played the entire Legacy campaign in two and a half days.
- I actually completed the campaign. I have an entire video up about my thoughts after finishing the campaign and it was included in my top 10 dungeon crawl/adventure game/boss battler list that I just recently put out.
- This is a pretty neat little game. And I'm kind of sad I sat on it for so long. It is a pretty quick simple but satisfying leveling up. And overall, I actually quite enjoyed it.
- It's fast, it's light, it's very pretty, and it's quite enjoyable. The gimmick is great.
- This is a very light dice chucking dungeon crawlish style game, and I really enjoyed playing it through.

Quotes (from this video)
- The first thing is you always got to play four characters and they're pretty light and easy to play for the most part, but as you get through the game, it does start to stack up to where like, oh my gosh, I have so many things, all these different abilities. I have to figure it out for all these different characters. It does weigh down a little bit towards the end of the game.
- The iconography for the ABC of the different bad guys is so small. I had to pick it up every single time.
- The dice are unique dice, custom dice. They're kind of boring, right? They got pips on them. Eh, like give me something a little cooler.
- Overall, I think this is a fun game. Like, I will not lie. I had a hard time stopping.
- This is a game that if you like the Pathfinder world and you are looking for a light dice chucker that's got some pretty interesting story, then this is probably the game for you.

Quotes (from this video)
- Where we have a telescope style rondel looking to the skies for planets and constellations and stuff, but now we're looking over at the moon and there's grand inquisitors coming for us and there's new characters and things.
- Usually you need to mix two colors to see a major object. You need to mix three colors to go and look at the moon.
- When you look at the moon, you pick one of the face up one of the bits of the moon with a face up scoring tile. They'll turn face up as the phases change. You get the reward that's printed on this tile. And then you earn the points according to the scoring tile.
- The solo mode's been expanded a little bit. It's got some new movement tiles and you use a particular set of movement tiles based on the difficulty you want to play.
- And then we get dice and look at the moon.
- So, the end game trigger is the deck running out. Just so there's probably like there is a card in the deck.
- But, you know, you got to be on board, aren't you? So, it was very weird and I basically haven't played it, but I've been watching just as related to something else. I've watching a series called Dimension 20 and that's been great.
- There's so much stuff kind of in various stages of finishing.
- I really enjoyed this game. I've kept it like I am having to be I've been saying this for ages now, but I have to be increasingly cutthroat to try and reduce the amount of space my games take up.
- The new Cascadia that's coming out, there's a playthrough for that. There's a game called Moon from Mariposa Games um that have previously done the Trailblazer games. This one's called Garage Rock about like having bands in the summer holidays, you know, in 80s America and getting ready for Battle of the Bands.
