Watch out! Stalin’s been reading your comments…
Added 2023-09-27 17:00:06 +0000 UTCHello NeRBs!
We’ve got a Patreon exclusive for you today! Uncle Joe has paid us an unexpected visit and he’s not very happy with a lot of the comments left on Communopoly. Dom has once again tapped into his tyrannical side (didn’t take much) to become Joseph Stalin, and insisted on reading and responding to your comments on state television (the channel)!
By the way, this isn’t the only Patreon exclusive content we have coming for you before the end of September. There is plenty to come, like September’s Unboxed podcast, which is coming tomorrow and features Sullivan, Teri and Jon announcing the upcoming episode of House Rules! And… NEMESIS! That’s right, we’ve got together a crew of unscrupulous cosmonauts in the studio to tackle this board game behemoth, and it’s headed your way on Saturday!
As you may know, we had also planned to bring you two episodes of Blood On The Clocktower before the end of September. Unfortunately, we were unexpectedly prevented from filming those episodes last week at very short notice. We have been trying to find a solution that would allow us to deliver those episodes to you on time, but unfortunately that is not going to be possible. Please accept our sincere apologies for this, and know that we are working hard to get them to you as soon as we can, because we really love producing the content for you guys. For those of you who are Kickstarter backers, we will be posting an update soon, but as shooting was not planned until January 2024, we still anticipate that the project will go ahead as expected.
In the meantime, we’re using this gap in the schedule as an opportunity to launch a brand new Patreon-exclusive series! The royal court of NRB has unanimously decided to start playing The King’s Dilemma, a LEGACY game! Players are cast as the court of advisors for the King of Ankist and tasked with debating and deciding on a series of crises while also conniving, backstabbing and strong-arming their fellow council members in order to slowly grow their own house’s power. The first episode will be available later this week, and will be Patreon Exclusive for a full month before making its way to the main channel. Every following episode will be exclusive to our backers - with campaigns generally running 14-15 sessions, that’s a lot of videos!
There’s plenty more coming up as we move into October too - we’ll be going full spook on the channel and bringing you five games to herald the Halloween season: Burke’s Gambit, Gloom, Horrified: American Monsters, Paranormal Detectives and Betrayal at Baldur’s Gate! Plus our usual Unboxed episode and uncut versions of our weekly Board Game Club episodes as normal. Plus we’ll gather some folks at the table to tackle another channel favourite - let us know what you want to see in the comments!
Thank you as ever for all of the support - we hope you enjoy all the new exclusives we’ve got coming for you this week!
Laurie, Teri and Sullivan x

2024-05-31 06:08:19 +0000 UTCI just want to hug Dom at any given opportunity and I think about it often.
Brad Clarke
2024-04-25 10:45:26 +0000 UTC"Or else!" - Stalin, probably. Also, I concur! This ought to happen!
Lionel L.
2023-12-24 08:52:27 +0000 UTCI know I'm late to the party on this, but if you're asking us to let you know what channel favorites we'd like to see... how about letting Dom play a game of The Thing? For once. I suspect this request will be endorsed by Stalin.
An Owomoyela
2023-10-10 01:37:33 +0000 UTCThis... is fantastic. I would love a Stalin Reacts series to each NRB video
Quantum Rabbit
2023-10-09 01:13:50 +0000 UTCok never mind apparently I can't computer. Sorry to bother!
Sarah
2023-10-03 20:52:42 +0000 UTCHey, I'm getting an error when trying to play the video. Was it reuploaded on Youtube or something? Thanks!
Sarah
2023-10-03 20:52:10 +0000 UTCSo glad you're doing King's Dilemma! I don't have the budget or right friend group to play it myself but I've been so interested in it since it can out. Love that I'll get to see the whole campaign play out!
JH
2023-10-01 19:16:24 +0000 UTCMaybe release one of those Clocktower episodes free on YT? Only seems fair.
Robert Staley
2023-10-01 05:20:16 +0000 UTCI agree massively. I Love Nemesis but Dead of Winter is in my top 3 episodes... that darn Dog.
Thominatorx7
2023-09-30 21:49:47 +0000 UTCHow many historical despots can Dom Allen make entertaining? I don't know the answer, but I will certainly watch everything containing Uncle Joe multiple times over.
Zack Wright
2023-09-29 02:32:21 +0000 UTCI really don't care about Blood on the Clocktower, but the rest of the plans sound like fun. Also... Dom as Stalin is always a terrifying delight!
Mark Brett
2023-09-29 00:54:55 +0000 UTCI’m currently taking a bit of a break from watching any NRB content (plan to watch everything eventually, but it feels a bit weird at the moment. BUT I’m still going to be a patron because you guys have been doing yeoman’s work.
Joseph Cloud
2023-09-28 21:20:01 +0000 UTCSo the podcast.....
Lee Dellbridge
2023-09-28 21:09:46 +0000 UTCDom is not the Game Master you need, but the Game Master you deserve. Also, happy to hear that heavier games are coming to the channel. I find that recently the content on YouTube has slanted towards light weight or party games. Let's not forget that "proper games" can be fun to watch too. I can't wait for The King's Dilemma (and hopefully the Queen's Dilemma as well); great legacy game with an amazing story and great opportunity for screwing up other players and role playing.
Luigi Scazzari
2023-09-28 18:07:45 +0000 UTCIt should be, the only stuff at the higher tier is extended episodes rather than bonus episodes (and they would say if it was for the higher tier)
Hannah Winter
2023-09-28 17:25:22 +0000 UTCIt’s not Dolly………………………it’s clearly Dommy
MrTof
2023-09-28 14:56:30 +0000 UTCDom is why I became a Patron today. I'm glad I got to discover this community of actors and fellow British Characters. You men and women are brilliant. (I'm Canadian of British descent.)
Jack Tempest
2023-09-28 13:12:27 +0000 UTCGlad to hear a out all the new stuff coming And Dom since meangirls and 6th nif is my favorite. And Dom and Sulley remind me of my brother and me Before he died. Thanks all of Nrb for keeping me Laughing since he's been gone.
George cartright
2023-09-28 12:48:18 +0000 UTCLots of good stuff on the way! Very much looking forward to Burke's Gambit and Gloom. 2 of my favourites.
Adam Gough (greasykid1)
2023-09-28 11:28:28 +0000 UTCKing's Dilemma is SUCH a brilliant game and I can't wait to see how your campaign of it goes! Also very excited about all the upcoming content. Thanks team!
Andy_Quest
2023-09-28 09:14:27 +0000 UTCThe overall story of the game and the impacts of some of the decision is likely to be spoiled and a lot of the Game relies on players not knowing the eventual outcome of their decisions, so as someone who has played through the King's Dilemma I would recommend playing through it before watching a playthrough. However I'm not actually aware of how much choices actually affect the overall story, as when I played (we never finished but got about 2/3rds of the way) there were still a ton of events that we hadn't even looked at, so maybe it would be a completely different story to yours. I guess the question is if you want to be safe with it (since knowing spoilers would be a relatively big detriment to enjoyment in the game IMO) or hope you follow separate storyline Hope this makes any sense at all, I'm literally just typing my train of thought while waiting for my bus so apologies if anythings confusing
Gerg .
2023-09-28 08:01:18 +0000 UTCSorry, but I am going to cancel next month if there is no more BOTC.
Gary
2023-09-28 03:47:25 +0000 UTCHonestly I would have been surprised if recent events didn't affect the clocktower schedule! Take all the time you need there! Kings Dilemma sounds amazing!
Eric Schuller
2023-09-27 23:38:20 +0000 UTC(I’m well aware this isn’t a small ask) But I’m still waiting on IRL game of Cluedo
GoldenRK9
2023-09-27 22:48:49 +0000 UTCAmazing! Very excited for the Kings Dilemma especially. Thanks for the update regarding BOTC. Please take your time with it and make sure you are looking after yourselves.
Hilary
2023-09-27 22:18:39 +0000 UTCI can't believe the amount of work and planning you're doing even at such an incredibly difficult time. You're the best.
Liz Dwyer
2023-09-27 21:40:14 +0000 UTCGlad to see that Comrade Stalin is as well-adjusted as ever! Also understand that the unforeseen recent events will have likely been very disruptive to NRB's overall production plans, especially for BotC, so I for one am happy to be patient in the meantime with the other quality content you guys have still managed to provide.
Phil Watkins
2023-09-27 21:35:50 +0000 UTCwoohoo this sounds excellent :) Thank you so much for this update, I LOVE kings dilemma so that’s going to be a blast! Lots of love to you all ❤️❤️
Dylan McCormick
2023-09-27 21:21:40 +0000 UTCCan I just say how incredibly surreal it was to get a notification telling me Stalin was reading my comments...
Rowan McGinnis
2023-09-27 20:29:25 +0000 UTCI wish all YouTube comments were given the Stalin scrutiny.
Danny
2023-09-27 20:28:39 +0000 UTCAppreciate the update and the video. I think we can all be sympathetic to the fact that everything that's gone down has gone down at a time that was also particularly challenging with so many off at Fringe and then TPIs decision on top of everything else. Looking forward to everything and your hard work.
Lindsay M.H.
2023-09-27 20:14:03 +0000 UTCThank you comrade. Love this game.
Douglas Weed
2023-09-27 19:47:12 +0000 UTCKing's Dilemma sounds amazing! Really excited for the first episode.
Adam Roszkowski
2023-09-27 19:36:43 +0000 UTCWhat is a legacy game? I've heard it mentioned but not sure what that means.
Lee Dellbridge
2023-09-27 19:35:35 +0000 UTCPlease tell me Issac is returning to Nemesis for a 3rd Slimeing!!!
Andrew Farmer
2023-09-27 19:17:17 +0000 UTCStill seems like a pretty even mix to me. Yes, of course a legacy game is going to be longer and more in-depth, but Burke’s Gambit is a pretty quick and easy social deduction game, and Gloom is a pretty simple card game. Horrified is of course more in depth, and Betrayal seems to have become something of an annual tradition at this point.
Luke
2023-09-27 19:02:13 +0000 UTCA question for the King's Dilemma experts. I have this game waiting to be played (getting a gaming group together willing to stick it out is not that simple). Will watching others play this on the channel likely throw too many spoilers? Or are the pathways of each choice through the games sufficiently different that it won't be a big issue?
Jo Wood
2023-09-27 18:54:02 +0000 UTCAMAZING I am so excited for spooky season, a legacy game, more Nemesis...great stuff! As for channel favourites, how about another Dead of Winter, it's one of the most viewed BGC and you haven't done the expansion yet...
Dan
2023-09-27 18:53:43 +0000 UTCA patreon-exclusive playthrough of a legacy game is something people have been requesting for MONTHS, very glad to see you guys listening to the fans!
Will Seamon
2023-09-27 18:47:29 +0000 UTCNemesis! Yes! So stoked
Kyle Webb
2023-09-27 18:41:50 +0000 UTCWill the Kings Dilemma be available for all tiers?
Dennis Kruijt
2023-09-27 18:19:59 +0000 UTCI second Fiasco! Such a hilarious game, especially with this cast.
Rosa Hübenskjold
2023-09-27 18:08:54 +0000 UTCI love that 20th century dictator Joseph Stalin has somehow become a regular comedic character on a youtube channel about board games. Totally understandable about the clocktower videos btw. Thank you for keeping us updated, you're doing really well.
Rosa Hübenskjold
2023-09-27 18:03:57 +0000 UTCAlways and eternally Dom.
Reynard Wrecca
2023-09-27 18:03:41 +0000 UTCOoh, very excited about King's Dilemma!!! This all sounds marvelous, I can't wait.
Emily Hogarth
2023-09-27 17:59:17 +0000 UTCIncredibly excited for a Legacy game!! If you’re thinking of returning to some old channel favorites, you can never go wrong breaking out Cosmic Encounter! And personally I’d love another episode of Fiasco!
Ryan & Molly
2023-09-27 17:53:06 +0000 UTCoh wow a Legacy campaign sounds fantastic! and Sully/Jon/Teri for House Rules is gonna rock so hard
monkey
2023-09-27 17:46:03 +0000 UTCThank you for all the amazing content! I can't help but be impressed how consistently you put out content, even with everything going on. Not one week without an at least one hour long BGC? That's incredible. Please, take care of yourselves too and thank you so much for everything!
Annabelle
2023-09-27 17:45:33 +0000 UTCExcited for the new content. Keep your heads up gang. Much love.
Dradkyn
2023-09-27 17:23:55 +0000 UTCsounds most excellent, thanks very much!
Milan Göllner
2023-09-27 17:22:09 +0000 UTCPumped for Nemisis yes. BOTC is why i'm signed up to this Patrion. Real gut punch not getting those 2 this month.
Stewart Moyer
2023-09-27 17:20:49 +0000 UTCThings happen, things come up, things have to change sometimes, and you can't cut them a little slack to deal with whatever it was?
Will B
2023-09-27 17:16:18 +0000 UTCYou folks are continuously crushing it! Thanks for all of the content! You've had a lot on your plate so please remember to be good to yourselves. We <3 you!
Kori
2023-09-27 17:15:12 +0000 UTCNo BOTC is frustrating but I know that's their decision not yours. These other games seem big and involved and I prefer the shorter games - BOTC was the exception. I'll stick around for October though but if the new games aren't doing it for me I guess that's me off :(
Lee Dellbridge
2023-09-27 17:14:30 +0000 UTCOh, WOW!!! There's a lot to be excited about here. King's Dilemma, Nemesis, all the spooky-season games... Very much looking forward to all of this. And going off the bit about suggestions in the comments—Deranged is a suitably spooky game that's not terribly well known, but I think would make for a great watch with this group. Maybe a session of Mansions of Madness, if you're looking for something scenario-based? And Grind House is an annual household favorite for quick, schlocky fun.
Matthew Zahnzinger
2023-09-27 17:14:13 +0000 UTCThanks for the BotC update; delays are no big deal in my mind so long as we know they're still planned. This legacy game sounds interesting; hopefully it goes well and is the start of a new series of legacy game vids.
BLB
2023-09-27 17:13:18 +0000 UTCI'm so down for all of this. Hurray and other such utterances!

Stefan Slinkie
2023-09-27 17:11:40 +0000 UTCThis sounds like an amazing batch of content! Can't wait to devour them all as soon as they drop! Thanks for the update, we really appreciate it
M Llanelly
2023-09-27 17:10:47 +0000 UTCLovely! 😁 Will you be playing another game of Call of Cthulhu on the channel anytime soon?
Ryker
2023-09-27 17:09:35 +0000 UTCI'm sorry guys, I actually like all of you but I was here for Blood on the Clocktower content. The fact that you're saying you didn't even try to film anything until last week is a problem. I'm out for now.
Omni
2023-09-27 17:08:25 +0000 UTCFinally a legacy game! I would LOVE to see some campaign games that last several sessions. Like ISS Vanguard, Tainted Grail, or something lighter, but a story driven campaign game for sure! Also, NEMESIS! Yay! Can't wait to see who is playing in that!
Emir Samardzic
2023-09-27 17:07:32 +0000 UTCSending all my support to you guys. I don't necessarily agree with TPI's decision but I get why and hope it's temporary. I hope you're all doing okay mentally, and I'm really loving Laurie as a host and I'm looking forward to all the new content!
Alexander Hardwicke
2023-09-27 17:07:29 +0000 UTCThank you all so much! All the upcoming content sounds amazing. I’m especially excited to see you play a legacy game!
George Parsons
2023-09-27 17:06:22 +0000 UTCVery excited for the future. Amazing work!
