Hey William, I don't really do collabs due to scheduling, convenience and generally not being good at managing my time (I work full-time in a very front-facing job and don't want any overlap). 😰 I really appreciate the offer though. Probably won't cover the Space Hulk games for some time anyway, but if you need any help on research or whatever let me know. Feel free to post your video in the comments or whatever when you do it, I have nothing against people cross-advertizing or whatever 🙂I'll be sure to reference any videos you make on the topic of the boardgame once I do get to covering the videogames, as I don't play boardgames myself and outside perspectives are always welcome.

All the names are fixed. I would never stoop to creating a character named "Angor the Barbarian", for example 😆😆 I don't recall if Grimbeard was the dwarf's name in the first game or boardgame (they weren't consistent about names anyway), but technically speaking the model/art design is also Games Workshop's famous "White Dwarf" mascot (the history of that design is a bit confusing, with miniature poses, early art etc.). Staz Johnson did two designs for him - the one seen in AGITW, who looks closer to the in-game sprite, and the final one that looks like the boardgame version.

1:29:00 - Mind flayers *are* copyrighted, but so are beholders, and suspiciously beholder-like creatures appear in this game as well. I think Wizards/TSR has just had a shifting legal relationship with their IP-based creatures over time and only enforces the copyright selectively and mostly in connection to the OGL, though. There's a blatant Mind Flayer in Final Fantasy XIV for instance, which both looks like a D&D mind flayer and is called "Mindflayer" as its monster name.

I've been playing this since getting my a500 mini a few months ago. I learnt to put the casters at the start of the line up, otherwise you will waste the effectiveness of some spells. Completed 3 levels but it was so difficult without having the casters first in the line-up. For example if you attack you can still take damage unless Petrify is cast on the enemy. If the caster with Petrify is at the end of the turn order the spell is useless. You can never change to line-up, not even in between levels so put your casters first.
