Quotes (from this video)
- This is going to be a bumper issue.
- Builders of Bow's Gate, designed by Matthew Dunston, published by Whiz Kids, who have been clients of mine for many years.
- Unfortunately, some of the wording on some of the cards made us think that a certain thing worked a particular way.
- For me, not really. And Builders of Balders's Gate is in the same category.
- It actually felt quite thematic, especially with the with the boss fight at the end.
- It is still my favorite game in the genre of fantasy cooperative adventure games.
- And for me, like I've said most months, I prefer it to Gloom Haven.
- I had this game where at the point I could have ended the game and scored over a hundred, I think the next highest player was on about 40.
- So, I would say if you do play spellbook, try not to go for the rush end by just putting things on your thing.
- Let the game breathe a little bit and let everybody get a few spells because it's a it's a much more much more interesting game.
- So, as of this morning, we are on 1,182 Patreon supporters.
- Unfortunately, that means it's dropped since last month.
- And I will be absolutely honest with you here. You know that I'm a very emotional person and I take a lot of things personally.
- So, let's try and get 1,200 patron supporters.
- Please don't think this is me begging for money or trying to guilt you into supporting me or anything like that.
- So, we've made three donations to charity at £500 each.
- So huge thank you to Phil for not just providing us with the panels, but for all of the technical support that he's given us with regards to our sound issues that we've been having in the new studio.
- On screen now is a list of all of the people who started supporting me on Patreon since the last video log.
- I dread to think how long this video is.
- And there's going to be a bonus vlog as well.
