Great video! I’ve been trying to find a good solo game to fit my needs. I love DUN but it can be cumbersome. I’m curious- what kind of card tray are you using to organize all of the cards?

Not really a solo player but I really like how you dig into the use of the tools and tables in the book. It helps me use them better when designing my own stuff for any system.

I love the tables in Knave 2e! When I first got the PDF, I was drawn to the section on a generating spells. It gave me the idea to recreate the spell generator as a computer program, which took me about a week. Now, I have EVERY table in the book in automated form and it's super easy to add new tables and combine them with existing stuff. I'm trying to think of a way that I can share my work with the community in a way that's respectful to Ben and all of his work.

There is "A Lonely Knave" Written by Peter Rudin-Burgess. It's 2 pages, rules light Oracle.

Off topic question on oracles and starting: is there a video about Radiance system?

Is it possible to have TOO many random tables? Maybe a random table to tell me which book of random tables I should use 😂😂

Love your preview, but I am opposite of you I like the crunchiness of the games. Reminds me the days of the day RPGs.

Nice to hear you mention The Bard's Tale. God, I loved that series. The leader of my party was a fighter named Jasn Dragonsbane, but after playing a bit, I felt it was a bit presumptuous to have such a name, soi made a backstory for him, saying it was inherited from his father. Then I had to develop details about his father and how he got that name. I wound up going back one generation further, then another... By the time I was done, I had written 700+ years of history, drawn maps, and written the creation myths of the game world, which had morphed into a mix of my own story and the official lore. Good memories.

Thanks for the review!

Thanks for the detailed review! Could I ask, where is this book printed?

Is LoD designed for solo or is it "can be played solo?"

Very interesting and varied lot. Of the three, The Outcast has my vote.

Wow, I picked up a copy of Twelve Years at my local game store, but I had no idea the rabbit hole went so deep! I love looking things up on charts too :]

This video was great. Actually, your videos have taught me a ton about solo playing, so thank you! Re: Knave 2e and solo, I have a few modified rules that I use for my own solo play. For character creation, rather than the 3d6, I will roll 3d4 and take the lowest for each modifier. My logic is that for group play, a party of schmucks can survive a few scrapes, but a solo character, I assume has survived the funnel already and maybe has proven to have more skills than a Wretch. I dropped the character I just described into the BFRPG Morgansfort campaign and got my clock cleaned on the first encounter anyway!

Very sharp and honest overview of the book. I bit too thin on the system for my taste. Books with tables are easy to find. I'll pass on this one and keep playing Dragonbane solo.

Thank you for all of your hard work on bringing this wonderful content to us

Ive been playing Knave 2e solo since we backers got the pdf. It holds up incredibly well for long-term solo play. Love the game. Great review.

I got this a few days ago just for the tables!

Love solo focused content! Thanks for this!

Youre solo perspective on games is very helpful and why I stay subscribed. 😊👍

The tables are cool however, my wife got me this on kickstarter and she went all in..and when it arrived I read through it and just kind of felt like…”Is this it? “. Really underwhelming.

18:55 nice

Got my copy from kickstarter last week! Can’t wait to put those tables to work for some solo play

Stupid game, just like all book RPGs. What's the point? No board, no gaming figures etc. etc....

I just saw ur video on dungeon crawlers and the Quest for The Lost Pixel game looked rly fun, but i dont know where to buy it? I tried the gamcrafter site but they are in the US and im in Denmark so shipping is a problem. Do you know any other places to get it or is that the only way?

I don’t think, that this is better than WHQ95. Not even close… But I love LoD for what it is.

I didn't notice the issue with the cards in my copy of Tin Realm. maybe because I was in one of the later shipping waves.

How about Steve Jackson games like Melee and Wizard with Micro quests like Deathtest? I played the micro quests a ton solo when I was young. Great times and memories. :)

Still playing this? Have you broken out the expansion?

I recently picked up both of the Corny Gron books from EF and was happy to see you covering them! In my opinion the Adventure's Guide is both a campaign setting and an interactive tome of southern Polish folklore and mythology. Although many of the original names have been altered to make the setting more fantastical, everything in the book has roots in both the folklore and history of the Carpathian mountains, and the political factions described in the book seem to correspond to regional empires and entities circa 18th century. Pretty cool and immersive if you are into historical-themed fantasy.

Current 93!

new home for cardboard standees recycle bin, that what I'd do at least

Glorious! Really looking forward to getting mine!

I'm so happy that you mention again the game Darkest Night. My favourite~ Then you mentioned the game Clank. Somehow I dislike it, but can't tell why. May I know why you said it's not a good deck building game? Curious...

I havent seen someone do a video on the standee version only. I'd love to see if it's worth it to buy just the standee version

Frustrating to hear that the dry erase player boards are not available yet as they look great! I know you mentioned you use alternative stands for the cardboard standees - do you know offhand which brand you used? I was thinking about getting some but want to make sure they will accommodate LoD standees.

Thanks for another great review TDD. I enjoyed your review of solo RPGs, Caves & Catacombs & Ker Nethalas to be specific. I plan on getting these and incorporating the old game Outdoor Survival by Avalon Hill (Ebay) for my solo games as well for Hex crawling.

Thank you. I love playing LoD and the upgrades and expansion look to be adding more amazing content from Michael.

Settlement cards are new, to not have to open the book to see what is in your settlement

I'm for a Howard the Duck board game as well!

You're really good at adapting some of these games into a solo RPG toolkit, and I'm beginning to wonder if a designer/developer collab is in your future (like the "Automa brought to you by" phenomenon with Stonemaier games). I think your insight would add value to so many of these recent crawl/adventure systems in a crowdfunding campaign, specifically ones where the main product isn't *technically* designed for pure solo play. Also, I'd totally grab those acrylic standees in a heartbeat if they were up for sale, either on their store or in another campaign. I'd part with the cost of an expansion for them, honestly, though a little "expansion-lite" content with the acrylic kit would definitely sweeten the deal.

Michaels sells those photo storage container, btw

Interesting discussion. I wasn’t a huge fan of this one at the end of the day and ended up selling it. I’m MUCH more excited for dungeons of infinity, and waste knights sandbox mode.

Daniel, I love your videos. You’ve turned me onto Shadows of Brimstone and hopefully I can get a copy of this game at some point. You have a sweet collection of sweaters, but do you have a furnace? 😂

Can't wait for my copy to arrive. Lots of good stuff there! I just hope I can get it to the table. These big games can be a challenge to get the table.

Thanks, Daniel! I'm intrigued to know more of your solo rpgish approach to this game. I know that you are still looking into the best way of not managing that many characters, without losing the fun of it.

This is the League of Dungeoneering All the monsters keep appearing! Oh, to be a dungeoneer Swimming in pools of gold!

Like the playing aids. Will definitely get these.

That rulebook... aaargh... can't wait to receive my copy....
