Question - I'll go through your other reviews but I am looking for other non-DM required games so that we can just play with 2 people.

[FBNdude]

@iRacerMatt As in co-op games? Defenders Of The Realm, Arkham Horror, Wrath Of Ashardalon, Ghost Stories, to name four.

Great first episode, guys. You do need to fix the sound, however. Every time you take a breath, the sound goes mute and it takes a second for it to rev up again...a little disconcerting. I agree on your ratings for Ravenloft. I much prefer Fantasy Flight's "Descent: Journeys in the Dark" with all its expansions. What a great game that is!

[FBNdude]

@PantyhoseLoverLA Yeah, the youtube conversion has boosted the gain on the audio. I'll see what I can do to fix it for the next ep.

[FBNdude]

@PantyhoseLoverLA Note that the audio on Chris' closeup was messed up, so his closeups will have audio messups for the next three eps.

Its good to see The Iron Sheik found work after things fell through with his wrestling career.

@FBNdude Hi, I'm new to dungeons and dragons and I'd like to know witch campaign is good to start out with, all the ones I've seen in stores are always not level 1 kind of stuff. I've already created my character go every essential, etc. I just need help finding a good campaign. Hope you can reply!

Thanks!

It's definitely a brutal game. I've heard Wrath of Ashardalon was made to be not as hard, and you can combine the two sets. Descent: Journeys in the Dark look great, but I'm waiting until the 2nd edition comes out next year.

im just releaved theres not endless amounts of monsters

[iRacerMatt]

@FBNdude Thanks - I guess what I meant more was role-playing games that didn't require a DM and could be played with 2 people. Found your reviews because I was looking for board game RPGs and not specifically board games as a whole. Great reviews, I'm on episode 7 now.

[PhilGerb93]

I don't get it.. Is there endless amounts of monsters?

[Diablo9964]

I like the old Ravenloft this new one I don't care for

1. The card when I played raven loft long ago there was no cards in my boxset

2. there more then the 20 side die like the 4 side die for daggers and so on that why they made thou diff dies

3. you the rules are dumbs.

I really appreciate the time you guys put into these reviews. These are great for my wife and I to watch when deciding what board games we may purchase.
