Quotes (from this video)
- So, many of us growing up played a lot of computer and video games like Bard's Tale, Wizardry, Might and Magic, and various rogue style games.
- These games are often on the slower side of things and can be a little more contemplative and relaxing as they often involve a lot of dice rolling, looking up charts, drawing, and bookkeeping.
- So, I've been wanting to do uh this video for a really long time, and it's taken a ton of time and effort to put everything together.
- I really enjoy all of the games that you see on this table, and I think they all have something to offer in this little kind of a sub niche of our tabletop gaming hobby space.
- And so, if you want something simple and something that is closed and direct, then you might want to look into uh Notequest.
- I would not play one without the other. Actually, I that's not true. I would actually play World Builder on it by itself just to create a hex world before I would play the base D100 Dungeon by itself. But my favorite way to play is to combine them together.
- So, I think more so than any other game that we're talking about today, Marching Order is all about style. It's all about the vibe.
- Dollar for dollar, bang for your buck, you cannot go wrong with Carnathus.
- If you want a game with a lot of expansions, if you want to really uh modify the game and tailor it to to become the exact kind of game that you want, then Four Against Darkness is is for you.
- And I also really enjoy the combat. I think this has the best combat out of all of the games that we are looking at today.
- A lot of this game relies on fiction, not on rules.
- It's such a fun little space to explore.
