Nice work my friend....very smooth and I live the visual elements, really brings it to life. Not sure about the adventurer name though ;-)
Really enjoyed this. Using FGU for solo rpgs is great
I wish more folks would discover that and create games in FGU. I really love playing solo games with FGU. I'm hoping to put the rest of 2d6 dungeon in and also perhaps convert Ker Nethalas which I really enjoy as well. So glad you enjoyed it!
Had a blast playing! Just realized that I made a mistake with the scroll. I should have rolled to see if I could actually cast it successfully. I treated it like a potion which is not correct. You should roll to see if you successfully cast and if you aren't successful then you roll on the fail to cast table. If you are, you get the spell off. Either way I believe after you cast, the monster attacks first and then you get to attack. Also, you can only use a scroll in the first round of combat.
Is Shadow dark available on fgu? Or is this something that you put together?
ShadowDark is available officially on FGU and the Lost Citadel is included with the ruleset purchase. I did add some quality of life things to the map to try to enhance it a bit for the players but you can run the adventure as is without the changes I made. www.fantasygrounds.com/store/product.php?id=IPFGSDTALCORE
Never been recorded playing before… was interesting to listen back through… looking forward to next time! :)
Love this. Really helpful in learning how to use this result with FGU
Awesome. So glad it was helpful. I know it might be a bit distracting flipping between player vision and GM vision, but I really wanted to make sure I knew what the players could see as I was trying to narrate.
Actual start is about 40:09
Hey Gwydion. If I search how to create effects for fantasy grounds in KZread, will I be able to make that backstab power? Or is it more involved?
Its very similar to 5e so you could figure it out searching 5e effects but it super easy. Feel free to hop in my discord and ask questions if you get stuck. discord.gg/kVM2QvYy The steps are as follows: 1 - Create a new spell 2 - In the Spell record click on the "other" tab 3 - Right click anywhere in that tab and when the radial menu pops up click "add effect" and then "effect" 4 - Click on the magnifying glass to open the effect record. 5 - Under DESCRIPTION/CONDITIONS/MODIFIERS, type in (without quotes) "DMG: 1d4" (or whatever damage die you are adding backstab to). 6 - Under TARGETING/EXPENDITURE, set Targeting to "Self" and Expend? to "On next roll". Done! Let me know if you run into problems.
Terrific video! Waiting for another episode
how do u play the sound out of ur microphone tho
You can use something like Voicemeeter or VM-Matrix to route Soundshow and your mic to a virtual output and then connect the output into discord. I have a number of videos showing voicemeeter and matrix. If youhave questions, you can find me on discord and I'm happy to help. discord.gg/TGf5nAyG
Just finished watching! Love how you keep the game/video flowing all the way through a live session, that's something I struggle myself when recording games. Regarding the images on the map, I never considered the uploaded image assets being used directly on the map as more than props.. but I can totally see now that they would also be very useful as standalone notes. I will keep this in mind for the next update. In the meantime you might want to look into the dungeons/zone system. Just create a new dungeon and you will see the zones. I have a video about dungeons here on KZread.
I will definitely check that out! Thanks for commenting, David!
This was epic, I'm loving the playthrough! Thanks so much for the video!
Thanks! Really enjoying it. Very different than anything I have played.
This is so great. I've been looking at playing this so it's great to have this example. Thank you very much.
Awesome! Glad it was helpful to you. I think I will do session two live next Wednesday on my twitch channel. www.twitch.tv/gwydione if you are interested.
@@LordGwydion I will certainly try and make it
@@LordGwydion Really trying to wrap my head around the flow, see if I can't turn this in to an Actual-Play podcast or something. The world is just so good, so you've been a big help.
@@sugardeady2903 So great to hear! Yes, I agree that I love the world. Keep me posted if you do as I'd love to listen/watch.
Hi in Ker-Net I cannot get my head around trap doors. This is how I'm playing it for trap doors. I skip Perception check because I do not have a set of Thieves Tools just a crowbar "+10 on Athletics Check" so far. I've been choosing to dodge the trap, and noted the type of trap on the D10 roll for future contact with the door that's trapped. If I'm reading the rules correctly if dodged the Trap I forfeit searching (Scavenge) the room until I successfully removed the trap? Am I even close to interpreting the rules on Trap's correctly on pages 104-105?
Hey! So the procedure for traps is as follows: you first determine if there's a trap. If there is one, you roll Perception to see if you spot it. If you spot it, you can attempt to disarm it. If you trigger it (either due to you not spotting it, or by failing to disarm it), you deal with it: this usually means you get one last chance to avoid it( Dodge check, etc.), and if you don't you receive damage. Scavenging isn't affected at all by any of the traps rules.
@@blackoathentertainment5617 ok thank for the info. Frankly traps are more dangerous, and frustrating than the animals, or creatures, and next to impossible to disarm. I think the rules need to be reworked to give an explorer half a chance to disarm them.
Going to note here things I missed or wanted to point out: * I missed ticking off the investigation chart for some of the rooms I investigated * I intentionally did not use the Emotional Matrix. I'm trying to get the flow and rules down before I add it in. * I need to update the Nemesis track before the next session which I will do at the start of the session. * Alex did respond that the Manuals table reference I encountered at 01:02:55 is a mistake. I get to roll on the Crafting Table for it before next session. * Well this was a BIG miss.... I just read that if you are being cautious you automatically detect traps! That would have then at least allowed me a Dex check to see if I could have avoided it...
This was amazing, thanks for playing! I love the setup you created for the game, fits the mood perfectly. Sorry for your character's "death", haha. Remember though that your gear stays behind, so when you spawn back in your apartment you have nothing (only the things you might have stashed there) so you need to go and recover your gear!
Thanks it was very helpful. My background is more Avalon Hill type games. Before they went out of business, : ( they used to have a nice magazine called the General. For updates, and correction. Have on CD now. Now I rely on Facebook for guidance in new world of solo playing K-N.
Very cool I recall Avalon Hill! Blackoath Entertainment has a pretty active discord as well.
Great video! I started playing thru and made many of the same...plus a few more...of the same mistakes. Tons of fun though!
Thank you. This is a interesting but complex game I've been struggling to learn. It's still gonna be a struggle for me to learn but you explained a lot to me about how it works.
Awesome! Great to hear. FYI, I plan to start a solo rpg twitch steam weekly on Wednesday and I will start with UAS. I'll probably start over and begin with character creation and initial exploration for session 1 this wednesday. Feel free to stop by and watch and ask questions as I play! www.twitch.tv/gwydione
I watched the other day but forgot to comment 😅. Thanks for the great video!
Tremendously helpful and corrected some mistakes I was making in combat. Appreciate the video and look forward to others.
Hi, I'm trying to get two audio outputs to combine, that way I'll be able to hear both but obs will only record one, do you know how this would be possible with this
Not sure about combining two outputs but you can have two different inputs (playback devices) where you could have say music playback on one input, game sounds on another input and send both so you can hear them and only one so obs can hear them. Or, you can have different tracks in obs so that all audio is recorded except the music. Difficult to explain everything in a reply here but definitely possible.
I have a question, how does toughness work and exhaustion? after a fight do I gain 1 exhaustion? I'm a little confused. Or is toughness only used when specified specifically? Cheers and thank you!
Hey! So exhaustion occurs when something in the results of a roll tells you to take exhaustion. Think of toughness a bit like temporary hit points. Most damage affects your toughness first unless the results tell you explicitly to reduce your health. Once all your toughness is gone you then start taking damage to your health. Its harder to recover health than toughness. For example immediately after a fight you recover 1D4 toughness. Hope that helps!
@@LordGwydion that helps os much! thank you, you are a star.
At about 9:53 I make a mistake as I was thinking the rats hit me but I actually hit them! It takes me a minute but I figure it out... :)
What a fantastic overview of the game! Thanks so much for your kind words, I'm glad you enjoy the game!
Seems like a good solo adventure. Have you checked out something like Guild of Dungeoneers? Similar mechanic, you draw room cards and lay them out then add on monster and treasure cards.
I have not but I will check it out! At first I thought you meant League of Dungeoneers which I own but is a large physical game....
Hey thanks so much for the video! Have you figured out a way to save a set of sounds? I would love to create a set with weather, ambient, and music tracks all together that I could start with a single click. For the life of me I can't figure out how to do that. So far RPG Sounds is the only program I have been able to find that can to this but the UI is NOT ideal.
Thanks for stopping by! From the author: Here is one way to make a button to launch multiple sounds at once: * Drag and drop the sounds in the instruction pane * Set the root instruction to simultaneous * Set all the child sounds to autostart (to not wait for user trigger) Then save the instruction => a new button will be added in the current category with the instruction You can also join the author's discord to ask question directly if you want. discord.gg/d5Dq26wU
@@LordGwydion that's great! Seriously thank you for taking the time to help me.
This is cool. Thanks for showing this Gwydion. Dungeon crawler with dice, cards and nuanced strategy.
Great to hear from you! Wish that audio wasn’t jacked but had a blast. Anxious to keep playing.
Do combatants not need to roll on the Fumble table if they critically fail on a defending combat skill check? (That ended one of my playthroughs when my weapon broke and the rats wore me down.)
They do need to roll if they critically fail. I definitely made some mistakes.
@@LordGwydion Thanks for that clarification. It seems like it might be a house rule or unofficial update in that combat matrix.
@@LordGwydionI struggled with this rule, because the wording on the fumble chart all indicate a failed attack, so rolling a fumbled defence on this chart seems off 🤔
The character sheet you were using where did you get that from?
I created it in quest bound. I’m letting others use it if they want. I’ll drop a link when I’m home to a video I made explaining how to access it.
Here is the video showing how to get access to the sheet yourself. kzread.info/dash/bejne/p4Gnj9BmmMK7j7g.htmlsi=I7qduk0DBrC6N4KN
Looks super useful! Thank you for putting in the work to make this and to Alex for authorizing it. Definitely going to experiment with this in the future!
Alex has been awesome. Hope people enjoy!
Thanks for doing this!
I haven’t finished the video yet, so you may have addressed it, but looking at your character sheet it looks like you still need to choose a second personal goal, and I’d definitely recommend doing so!
You are 100% correct! I will do that!
@@LordGwydionI look forward to seeing more! I’m curious for what you’ll do as you start to generate your own domain rooms and halls. I know I’ve had to redraw a few in order to make it fit.
@@OracleLibby The nice thing is I plan to use Fantasy Grounds so I should have plenty of room on the virtual map. We will see!
Like the change of pace in seeing a vtt version of the game played. Thank you. I thought the pack bonus decreased as the foes died? Could be wrong?
I just checked the video and I think I did this right. You are correct in that they get +5 for every other ally alive. So, I gave them +10 until the first one died and then +5. Thanks again for watching and commenting! I'm having a blast playing.
Really enjoying this - thanks for sharing
This game seems really cool but man just like d100, looks like so much minutia which I absolutely hate about d100. lol
I tend to agree. I own literally all of the books for D100 dungeon and the mapping accessory as well as the computer version but I just struggle getting into it. So far I have really enjoyed Ker Nethalas. I’ve recorded two sessions so far and loved them both.
I think I misread your comment. There is a fair bit of crunch which I like but I get your point. If you want less crunch I would recommend 2d6 dungeon. It’s really fun but a lot less crunch in my opinion and more about rolling on tables. I have a few videos on that one as well if you want to check it out.
@@LordGwydion I'll definitely check out the playthroughs. Thanks!
@@LordGwydion 2d6 dungeon is great!
@@jaymea8907 toby is a great guy. Has several games.
Thanks for the video, it was a lot of fun! You did forget to mark a couple of your skills for progress, since you rolled doubles!
Ah right!!!! Thx Alex. Loving it.
Regarding grasp attack (response from Alex on Discord) Q: I do have a question on the Flesh Eater's grasp attack. It's Physical, so I assume you still roll a to hit and defensive roll first. Then the Athletics check to see if you're grappled. Once grappled, do you roll new actions on the flesh eater's turn, or does it just maintain the grapple until you break it or die? I've been playing it that I still roll an action, and if I roll Grasp again, it just maintains. Any other result means it lets go and uses the newly rolled attack. Also, while grappled, can I still attack/use abilities? Thanks for your thoughts! A: As for your question: yes, you do need an opposed check first to see if they grab you, but this one is just the Athletics check, no attack/defense rolls. Once grappled, they do nothing but maintain that damage until you escape by passing an Athletics check (just a check, not opposed). I need to clarify that better. And I'm afraid that all you can do in your turn is attempt to escape. So yeah, pretty nasty!
I ended up simplifying it, and just turning the Grasp into a standard Entangled effect. So now the attack reads like this: "Grasp (Physical): The Flesh Eater lunges at a target, attempting to engulf it in its rotting embrace. The target must make an Athletics opposed check. On a failure, they are Entangled by the Flesh Eater, taking D8 Bludgeoning damage at the start of their turn until they free themself." This way you know you only need to refer to the Entangled Condition.
@@blackoathentertainment5617 Great - Much fairer! - Anyone wearing platemail and low athletics would be stuck in the Flesh Eater's grasp forever. At least with Entangled, you can still make (penalised) attacks.
@@blackoathentertainment5617awesome. At least I figured it out!
After reading the rules a few times I do think I could use the +10 from the "quick" property of the dagger on my defensive combat rolls.
You're correct, yeah!
I don't want to contradict Alex, but I think you add +10 from "Quick" to the Initiative Check and the +10 from the Speed of the Dagger to each Combat Skill check for the Dagger.
@@itsgorani9133 ah yes, you're 100% correct, haha. That's what I get for not paying attention to the question...
Hidden house darkest
I once again have a couple times I accidentally leave the pdf on the screen. At least I recover reasonably quickly.....
Let’s goooooo!!! Found you from your comments on Lone Adventurer! I look forward to seeing more Ker Nethalas here too!
Awesome! Thanks for stopping by and watching. I'll definitely be playing again soon.
How can I listen to my microphone?
You might want to check out Voicemeeter. Its a little more straightforward. Tons of videos on using it. If you get stuck feel free to hit me up on my discord. discord.gg/bRUfaXsj
@@LordGwydion Nevermind I got it thank you though
How can I listen to my own microphone?
I have just played through the first Domain with my very analog game journal (because I really wanted a non-computer activity) with an Arcanist/Hexmancer survivor (because I thought a focus on magic was something I wanted to try). 1. The structure of different tables all over the place was very annyoing. I will create a flowchart of how exploration works and how combat is resolved by copying tables later. This way I don't have a lot of fun flippng through the book. 2. I fought the blighted rats once, the fleasheater once and two times skeletal horrors. The second skelettal fight took a heavy toll on my Sanity, because it took so long and you will fail a lot of Resolve rolls over time. 3. I found medium vembraces and a torso brigandine (which were great) and a magical Ring (6/11) very good. 4. I rested once, to repair, attune and make rations and bandages. 6. I got 13 rooms totally explored and a total of 4 Growing Darkness triggers 7. I took some extra damage due to events and hardly got any skill increase (not rolling doubles a lot) In the end I had Resolve, Reason and Bladed Weapons increased by like 1-4 8. I had the Dreadlord Overseer and saw no chance of making a dent on that , so I skipped it. I exited the Domain with 250 XP (4 fights with a +10XP bonus due to Growing Darkness table) and on broken down door) 9. Now that I enter the first random Domain, I hardly feel any more prepared. I can use Sap Vitality (good) and one volley of Arcane missiles (mediocre at best) before runnign out of Aether. then it is stabby stabby with the dagger. Not sure going for a "mage" is a good decision over a character that goes for physical combat. Skill rolls are so hard to make, with numbers of 20 or 30 or even lower. 10. Conclusion: This will be a very grim dark experience to come... PS: I will return to see you you did with the complete Domain (and dealing with Skelettal Horrors at a Resolve of 30)
Awesome! Thanks for sharing and commenting. I completely hear you about analog. I tend to go full digital to save space and so my wife and family don't get too annoyed with the space I take!
I was curious about a casting class. Did you see that Aether restores every room?
@@PuckixI did! I missed that until after the session though.
List of things I know I screwed up... lol: 1 - Did not add the add'l health for the rats due to the Overseer Influence (based on my level should have been D4 for each creature!) 2 - I should have been using Evasive Strike from my Weapons Mastery which has no cost! 3 - Rolled a fumble on my Scavenge Check 4 - Forgot to roll on the loot table for the Rats! 5 - Early on forgot to roll on the location to hit table but started remembering. 6 - Forgot to recover D4 toughness immediately after the battle! Promise I will improve next time! Feel free to reply and list more if you see more... :)
Thanks for the video, it's really cool to see the game completely translated to digital tools! In combat, you don't need to always use your Dodge skill (unless it specifically says otherwise), you could have defended with your Blades skill. Oh, and you forgot to roll for the loot after defeating the rats! And you rolled a fumble on your scavenging check (22), which means that you can mark your skill for progress, and you trigger an encounter.
Got it. Didn’t realize that. I also realized I forgot to add the health point to each monster from the overseer influence. I think it should have been one point. Missed the hit location but then started remembering it. Enjoying it very much and will definitely keep playing it. Probably should have tested combat a few times before I recorded but had fun!
Oh right! Loot! Missed the fumble too. Geez. I’ll get better. Lol
@@LordGwydion actually, it's +D4 Health per each 5 character levels. So in your case, just +D4. I'm glad you're having fun!
Just bought the book, was wondering if there is an app that let me port the entire rulebook on it and itd do all the calculations for me, and lo and behold, someone made one! Not an app but I hope there will be. Very cool!
If you're interested, blackaoth entertainment has an active discord and other tools there for Ker Nethalas. You can join here: discord.gg/7We6c2TP
Fantastic! Really well done on the sheet for this intriguing game. Can't wait to see where you take it next. You're 100% correct about the Creator Pro version. There will never be any features locked behind a monthly fee, only the convenience of using QB to host your content.
