Great video as always! Just two questions regarding synergy tokens: 1. Do you earn as many synergy tokens as you cover during one attack or is it limited to one per attack? 2. If a character has more than one synergy token and it has a card that has special action that activates with synergy tokens, can that card activate more than once per attack or is it limited to one synergy token per attack?
@WatchItPlayed
10 ай бұрын
1. One per synergy symbol you cover during the attack. Cover two synergy symbols, gain 2 synergy. 2. If a card as a synergy effect, you can spend 1 synergy token to resolve it. You can't spend 2 and resolve it twice.

Hey Rodney, at the very start of my campaign I got into combat with wayy too OP monsters. How exactly should I run away? If I don't attack them at all, do I have to take all hourglass effects? Or is it hourglass effects and give them additional power without dealing it to the characters? So if they start with 4 blue tokens + they have a total of 5 uncovered power - I have to add 5 more tokens to theie card and leave it like that?...Or I return it to the deck without keeping it on the map?
@WatchItPlayed

Sorry, I'm having a bit of trouble following the question. The story should tell you at what point you can leave the combat voluntarily. Before that point you resolve all steps of combat as usual (the video will take you through those steps).
@adiroiban
6 ай бұрын
I think you return the cards to the deck without saving any progress for the monsters. If you don't attack you don't trigger counter attack. You do trigger monster end of round effects once...and then you can run. That's my understanding. Thematically you encounter the monsters, you see what they are capable of and then run. You can also run at the end of a later round in a fight

Thanks for the video! at 41:03 you remark that distant locations are not only considered adjacent to Sapphire Pass (as indicated in the rulebook) but also to each other. This is not explicitly mentioned in the rulebook an I really appreciate this clarification! Similarly, at 37:21 you clarify that only characters at a given wandering encounter action may spend stamina to participate in its challenge which is implied by the rulebook but not stated outright. Some questions about wandering encounters I had were: 1) must damage be assigned to those characters even if no one spends stamina, 2) how (if at all) are other characters/players restricted from using abilities/adventure cards/discarding ability cards to challenges/actions during wandering encounters?
@WatchItPlayed
10 ай бұрын
Yes, I had discussions with the publisher to clarify those points you mention in the video. I'll have to follow up with them on your other two questions. In the meantime, I would keep an eye on this thread. I believe DJ White has the correct response: boardgamegeek.com/thread/3207265/challenges-wandering-encounters
@AshLeonardJ

Thanks for the response!! When following up about WE's can you also ask how status tokens from failed challenges should be assigned during WEs? My presumption is character(s) at the action--regardless of participation because statuses are different in DS and don't need to be assigned to challenge participants first--before other characters but it may be that only characters at that actions may be assigned statuses so I'm not sure @@WatchItPlayed
@WatchItPlayed
10 ай бұрын
@AshLeonardJ Here's what I heard back: *Question 1) When damage is part of a fail result, how is it assigned to characters (particularly characters at the location who didn’t spend stamina to participate in the challenge). Must damage be assigned to those characters even if no one spends stamina?* Answer 1) Damage should be assigned among any characters at the location, even if they didn't spend stamina to participate in the challenge. If they run out of health, the rest is ignored (not distributed among characters at other locations). *Question 2) The same as above, but as it relates to assigning Status Tokens.* Answer 2) Same with status tokens. If all characters at the location already have the specified status, ignore it. *Question 3) How (if at all) are other characters/players restricted from using abilities/adventure cards/discarding ability cards on challenges/actions their standee is not located at during wandering encounters?* Answer 3) For simplicity sake, there are no restrictions in Wandering Encounters when it comes to using character abilities, discarding ability cards, or playing adventure cards if the characters aren't on the same location.

On 2:22, I feel like you should get Chaz into a video or a livesteam and play Sleeping Gods: Distant Skies with him. Better yet, make it the entire Watched it Played crew of 6 people, do for a week for a Christmas party or something over 7ish livesteams (or get as much as you can do), and called that a good Christmas of sorts. Why won't want to spend their holidays on an adventure. Otherwise, great tutorial as usual. I didn't ever know they make a spin off game of the base sleeping gods, and I hope they make another game in the franchise in the future. Despite the tutorial being long (and the game being longer due to it being a campaign), we don't get too many long tutorials from you, let alone ones about campaign games often enough.
