  • Future? By future, you mean past, right?

  • @eldersprig

    PLease go to page 3 of the book and read the first paragraph under Swords & Sorcery, "Lemuria is a post-apocalyptic world of half a million years into the future..."

  • Great review, Grubman! I love BoL! I run an online BoL Conan game. I wish I could make my YouTube vids as cool as you do yours. You should give me some tips one day, lol. I love how you were able to show different parts of the game book and was able to have the camera scroll down pages and stuff. I have no idea how to do that.

  • @daddystabz Glad you enjoyed it :).  Naturally I don't want everyones videos to look exactly like mine...but the way you do that stuff is with your editing software. I'm using Imovies.

  • Shout out: Dave, just picked up Wild West Cinema. It's great! Artwork could be better, sure, but the material flat out rocks. And I don't even like that genre. But what you did, you did brilliantly!

  • @DeepEndOfTheDicePool Thank you very much :)! It doesn’t get a lot of notice, , but those who find it seem to like it a lot. Many of the ideas are inspired by other games. The core die mechanic was inspired by the Fudge RPG system, the “GM doesn’t roll” idea was inspired by Cinematic Unisystem, Motivations were inspired by Hollow Earth Expeditions, and Classes were inspired by Simon Washbourns Go Fer Yer Gun, …put all that in a blender with a scoop of my own ideas and this was the result.

  • @DBezio OK. Wasn't the review that was wrong it was the author. The Thongor books take place in the past, but Simon must have decided to futz it a bit.

  • RUN FOR IT!

    Perfect summation of barbarian fantasy game session.

  • Hey that was awesome, I love the breakdown of different systems (because it saves me the time of scouring the book for base mechanics haha) so thank you for that, also you did a very nice job of making it entertaining as well! Awesome vid, thanks

  • @DBezio It's not the parts, it's how you put them together. Great job.
