Tell me about it. After filming it, I considered not uploading it, but then I thought, "Well, it happened, and it was weird, so why not?" For people who know how absolutely deadly the game normally is, I thought it might be funny to show that one in a thousand game where the dungeon is sleeping. There are other playthroughs on the channel where a lot more happens. The Rildo vs. Thargrim playthrough is the most eventful, and shows what can happen when the dungeon just decides to say, "no," to a player.

When people survive this game, there are some who would write their name, date and amount of loot on the inside of the box. Not saying you should but yeah. It's like a leaderboard and a tradition to some. I have the Fantasy Flight Games version. Enjoyed the video. ;)

I always felt like the D&D board games drew a little inspiration from DungeonQuest. The way you have to keep pressing forwards, laying out tiles based on the direction of the arrows, and then having encounters based on the colour of the arrows. Of course, the D&D games have a lot more monsters in them! I'm not sure where all the bad guys were on this playthrough. Drakon is another game that I felt lifted heavily from DungeonQuest, although that was much more confrontational.

Great video, I love this game, and am lucky enough to have the same original version and two expansions (Catacombs and Heroes of DungeonQuest). You were really fortunate with the room cards, I think there are 34 empty rooms out of 84 cards (40.5%), so your string of empty rooms was amazing. I also think you were lucky overall, because of the tiles that came out, the bad cards, not waking the dragon, it was pretty good all round. I have died on the first few tiles so many times, or been trapped in dead ends and unable to move forward, but that is the whole point of the game, as you said. Please do some more episodes of DungeonQuest - you could control multiple characters next time for a bit of a change.

Sometimes I pause the video to drink some water because the narration is making my throat sore. Sometimes I cut to reposition the camera, or to take a break because I am filming around real life.

I would say it's very different. I enjoy Talisman, but I think DungeonQuest is significantly better. It's quicker to play (everyone can die in minutes), much funnier, and creates more interesting situations with the way that tiles and cards interact. DungeonQuest can be payed with up to four players, but you can also play solo, and it has a fun rock-paper-scissors combat system which is more interesting than straight dice rolling. Once you add in the Catacombs and Heroes expansions it gets even better as there's a lot more going on. I play DungeonQuest all the time, but Talisman is something I only roll out occasionally.

Old World is shaping up to be a human centric warbandish game with 13 Brettonian factions and about 10 Empire with a scattering of other races. Something like 4-5 units and a few heroes. Sylvania looks to be still part of the Empire on their maps. The timeline hints are pretty screwy. Everything points to something pre-Magnus the Pious and around the time of the Vampire Wars, but the Brettonian stuff seems misplaced. It's before the false grail and fall of Mousillon though. It also appears to be pre College of Magic. People seem concerned that it will be a plastic box of generic Empire troops with a resin set from Forgeworld to customize the factions like Necromunda. The biggest issue people have is that GW will absolutely nail your for model cost and that many are not willing to jump back into that. I've said it before, but no one I ever played with ever did Brettonian. I have no idea where this fetish for them comes from. Same with Tomb Kings.

@@johnmiddleton4291 When I was a kid I always loved the look of a Bret army, but didn't want to paint all the heraldry and liked ranged units too much to ever collect knights. When I dipped my toe back into the water, I picked up a starter box for Brets, painted all the peasants (you see them pop up in my D&D videos sometimes), and then painted a few knights before basically deciding I still didn't want to paint heraldry. I always loved the idea of the army though.

Eu tenho a versão revisada, este parece que é a primeira versão. A partida não foi boa porque teve muitas cartas de sala vazia. Teria sido melhor se tivessem aparecido mais cartas de armadilhas ou combates. Resumo do jogo: a ida e a volta foram fáceis, apesar do sol quase sumir antes que o aventureiro saísse da masmorra.

This is the original Games Workshop version, not the version from Fantasy Flight Games which came out many years later. The cards were kind to me in this game - the dungeon wasn't very active - but that can happen and it's unfortunate that it happened on the game I was recording. I have since recorded more playthroughs, which have a lot more going on in them. It's just the luck of the cards.

@@AlwaysBoardNeverBoring ok. Quando eu for jogar, eu vou diminuir o número de cartas de salas vazias que existem no jogo. Será apenas um teste, se não atrapalhar continuarei jogando assim. Porque muitas salas vazias, você somente anda e nada acontece. Acho que você poderia tentar também.

To clarify, I had incredible good luck. There are already more deadly rooms than nice rooms. The game is brutal and I've never felt the need to reduce the number of empty room cards, because death happens so frequently anyway. Also, keep in mind that I was playing with just one character. With three or four players all pulling from the same room deck and tile bag, all the nasty stuff tends to come out of the deck at a rapid pace. Still, there's no harm in removing some of the cards if you want to give it a go. Expect more hilarity and even more deaths!
