I'm delighted to see that you are playing this one as co-op with Jay rather than solo Ash. If it goes even half as well as my co-op games of 5 Parsecs, it will be great. Dipping into pop culture stories to explain why X happened to Y makes the co-op experience particularly special I think.

A very flexible game, the map generates itself, you can tweak it to your liking, include more rpg elements and you can even solo it! Running a campaign right now with the expansion.

If it makes you feel any better I randomly generated my warband and one on the heroes is a Halfling Frontiersman. 👍 Sir Dane and his companions are ready for adventure!

Really all around their supplements are top quality.

I waited for the physical copy to arrive!

Nice looking book, really like the size, I may need to grab a physical copy of this for the collection.

Thanks for the video. My friend and I have been playing this co-op since the PDF has been available in the summer. It's the first tabletop wargame he's ever played and he's loving it!

Looks very interesting, gonna watch a few videos and see how the combat plays out. Look forward to seeing your warband adventure

Yes! Love this game. Wish I could've of play it more often. Glad you are starting a series for it

I recently got into 5 Parsecs, and love how you can fill in some of the details. Looking to pick up 5 Leagues next.

I absolutely adore this game but man is melee combat brutal. I’ve lost 2 warbands already and am on my third campaign right now. Would recommend buying a bunch of slings for everyone who doesn’t already have a bow as early as you can.

My friend and I have had decent success with having a designated blocker with good armor and a shield to parry and a buddy behind him for combat bonus, and then everyone else in firing positions behind them.

I've been playing Parsecs with a buddy, but Leagues 3rd edition by myself for about six months now and it's very enjoyable.

This looks very much like an insta-buy - looking forward to seeing you play through, especially with the prospect of some bonus Jay fun!

Was thinking the same thing. How have I never heard about this? It sounds like it might scratch the itch that Frostgrave never quite reached. Like I might get to use all those random monster/terrain STLs that I have accumulated.

Really looking forwards to your reports! Also hope you will be doing 5 Parsecs from home! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻

Wow. This looks great. Thanks Ash

Class ,I'm looking forward to seeing your campaign.

I bought this awhile ago (preordered so got the pdf immediately) and it is a blast, can be harsh, I had a death real fast. Watch out for getting too outnumbered, things can snowball, don't be afraid to run !

Wooo! Hooo! I've been looking forward to a review of this; and now I'm looking forward to Jay & Ash's Big Adventure.

Very interesting review. Thank you very much. I have heard about this game without realizing it's potential before you show it.

Looking forward to this. I have played a bit of 5 Parsecs and it was interesting.

Curious to hear about this one. I just can't see 5parsecs working great with two players, so I'm hopeful this works a little better for that.

Very keen to see the playthroughs of this. One concern I have is that this may be like.....the Advanced adventure game. Like, its going to be fun to be the author of your own fate, but without the experience of a few systems (granted, I really only have Silver Tower so far) under your belt then this may be a tad dense. Cant wait to find out how it is!

This is cool. Is there a list of the typical scenery elements you would need for a campaign?

I'm considering either this or Rangers of Shadowdeep. What are the big differences?

So I've started playing this recently, and I'm curious if anyone knows which enemy table I use when my warband is at a monster lair? the scenario doesn't note it. Do I use Aberrations?

So they're not from the frontier, let the crew cook Ash! 😁

What is the structure of a group/characters if multiple players are running a co-op game? Also, how does the combat being so brutal interact with the idea of a solo/co-op adventure, and what is the combat AI? I feel like those are important things that might have gotten glossed over or missed.

you get 4 heroes and 2 followers in a party, for each player they get a hero, and you can divide the controls of the rest of the party however you want, so for example if you were playing with 2 people, you could each have 2 heroes and 1 follower. one of each of your heroes would be an Avatar.

It definitely goes deeper than Five Parsecs and has a more involved close combat system than Five Parsecs, but I still end up playing 5P more often. Both games accomplish what they set up to do. I do like that the starter adventure is included in the main 5L rulebook instead of the expansion like 5P.
