Mercenaries lurk on the approach to the labyrinths. As the relic-bearing survivors are inexorably drawn to enter the impossible passageways, estate heroes generously join their journey. They fight to clear the monster-infested path, guiding survivors to the labyrinth's maw before extracting their steep payments.

The thunder of hooves was upon her before she could scramble to her feet. Suddenly she was plucked into the air, her armor snagged between two massive gnashing teeth. Bouncing over the stone faced ground, she twisted wildly, searching for a handhold. Grabbing the froth-soaked fur she felt the pulsing, bulging edges of the Screaming Antelope’s straining neck. Her grip wouldn’t last. She lashed...

Preamble and Disclaimer: At the top of this year I decided that with Cycles IV and V coming out that 2025 was time for a full Aeon Trespass: Odyssey (ATO) run from start to finish. Before starting this journey I reached out to Marcin Welnicki from Into the Unknown (ITU) because I needed to pick up a few things that would allow me to do this. ITU sent me a copy of The Las...

The full breakdown for Spidicules, as I had friends visiting the past week and a half and my partner was working from home pretty much the entire week before they arrived I haven't had a window to record anything until this week. I can't record when my partner is Working From Home because the information dealt with is sensitive and relates to other people. As such I don't want any of the personal details that may get discussed to risk getting released in video form. It's unlikely, but it's im...

Infinite reflections of kaleidoscopic colors blinded her eyes. She shut them to the painful light, feeling the strange current carrying her through the monster's mystifying bowels. Visions of her own death visited her panicked mind, replicating, rewinding, rewriting her gruesome ending until the epiphany froze her body. Its sudden stillness loosed her, slipping faster and faster for interminable ages un...

The male Fighter is a host to parasitic worms that regenerate his body. His buckler acts as a feeding mechanism, his reckless fighting style producing nutrition and protecting his life to feed his passengers.

Sorry I'm still behind with the video portion of everything, I'm still not very well at all, more tests, more waiting, fun. It's difficult to be able to talk much at times, but I managed to get this review out. I am hoping I'll be able to narrate the next two parts of the Butcher run series at the end of this week.
Enjoy, I like this Echoes even if Arc Survivors have made the entire strain fighting art system a bit of a mess.

This was a fun one, because when fighting The Hand one needs to make your own fun. Also disclaimer, don't do what I do at the end of this one.

RollinMats is a Spanish company that produces high quality neoprane game mats for a wide range of different board and card games. I have purchased and used game mats they designed for Arkham Horror, Game of Thrones (The FFG Board Game) along with Space Empires 4X and in all those cases I have found them all to be quality productions with a great layout. The graphical design of these pieces is something which really clicks for me, I've bee...

Lighter one this week, unless new content arrives to review, I'll be working on the Spidicules Dark Bestiary video for general release in April. (I haven't forgotten A Cut Above, that'll be early in April for the Pillars).

With our look at the overarching theories and design for Collectivism over, it is time to dig into the meat of the mechanics. These knowledges have a light level of parasitic design to them, but it is more that they interact with themselves and desire to be spread to as many other survivors as possible rather than being completely turned inwards in their mechanics. Creating a package of knowledges often ta...

After the absolute disaster caused by Acid Rain last time and the automatic forfeit we took for the L1 King's Man (chosen to save my sanity over spending another 1 to 2 hours watching survivors get beat up because we don't have the Leather Worker) we switch back to a softer target and try to regain our footing along the eternal quest for Paint and Leather.

The shaggy beast opened its jaws, revealing row upon row of glistening teeth. It gripped the stone-faced ground with its exhausted hands, releasing a terrifying roar. The bowel-shaking rumble grew into a head-splitting assault. Kale shuddered, bathed in the roar of his doom. His body sprang into one final act of defiance, throwing himself headlong at the howling maw. A massive pale hand fell lif...

A shriek startled Mox from her dreamless sleep. The sound of skittering claws disappeared into the gloom before she could make out their shape. Beside her, a form in fitful slumber lay bleeding. Rubbing the flaking ink from her eyes, she spied the spreading pool of blood wending its way among the cracked stone faces. Suddenly aware of the weighty staff clenched in her hand, she applied its pulsing l...

There's been a lot of content to cover outside of just the Gambler's Chest, something I am very grateful for, but I'm also keen to “complete” this series1 so with that in mind I am going to interlace the Arc Philosophy series with other things, and that means we are finally on the Tier 2 philosophies! This group of philosophies include some of my favourite ones to play with as they offer unique ...

The excellent Killenium Butcher is on the Simulator now, so here's a video review. In other videos, Dark Bestiary Chapter 4 (Screaming Antelope) is in editing so will release for Pillar Patrons next week and for everyone else the week after that (19th of March) and I am also working on the remaining 3 episodes of "A Cut Above" so the 3rd one of those will come out for Pillar Patrons this month. I can't say exactly when at this time, because I first need to get the normal content stream back i...

Last week, while recovering from an illness that robbed me of my ability to string sentences together without coughing (hence why I haven't finished a video since the Frogdog, but I'm working on that this week; hopefully I'll finish recording today and be able to get the Screaming Antelope Dark Bestiary video out for next week) I spent an exceedingly long amount of time sitting with the Gambler's Chest Pillar campaign creation system with the goal of trying to understand all of the various nu...

This will cover the last little piece of the gear that comes in the Frogdog expansion before we get into the hunt and showdown portions, here I'll go through the three indomitable weapons (two which come from the Frogdog, the third is in Survivors of Death I), the seed pattern gear and the rare gear. I'm not going to cover the Scout Gear card because it's a very simple utility gear card that helps c...

Back to the grind, some more danger deer action and I've come to appreciate the Antelope's thematic design all over again. Mechanical design? Not so much.

Once, Jackel was poised to strike the killing blow, when a brave survivor surged from behind, stealing her triumph. Frozen in thin-lipped silence, she could not offer even the most insincere accolades. A one-sided rivalry flourished in her embittered imagination. Never missing the chance to depart with her competitor in the hopes of glimpsing his bloody defeat. Finally, the seed of her bitternes...

Trembling, Camellia's frozen fingers wound the wrappings, applying precise intensities of pressure with each revolution. Slowly, the variable compression adjusted her circulation, a spreading warmth rose from her toes, lingering under the pelt wrapped tight around her shivering body. – Camellia Lore

I've got no complaints at all about the Frogdog and the Froskrafter. They've been nothing but amazing. Noodling though, that's a different matter.
