I left my light on and my window open, now my room is full of morths.

A pass for me, but I agree, Tom you are definitely getting results from the weight loss. As one health freak here, good on you man!

[davekoehnlein]

Looking good Tom. Congrats on all the weight loss and keep it up!

[skyorrichegg]

It sounds like they should have maybe made the starting face of the monster die a different color so that you could quickly place the monster with the starting face up. I imagine that level of customization of a die maybe would have added a bunch to the cost of the dice but who knows.

[NoeAnton]

Tom, you've lost some serious weight! That's so cool, keep it up!

The Morth and the Mouth: What's so civil about a deranged quilt anyways?

[orecchiostefano]

Hey, can anyone tell me the name of the intro song ? Thanks in advance. :)

[natelinhart]

Hm. Very innovative design. Looks like it definitely will need a second edition though.

[thenostalgiafactor]

Did you film the footage in the intro or is it stock footage? Thanks!

[Regnier]

Looks neat, but not neat enough for me to buy it at full price. Though, I'm very tempted, if only for how many dice it gives you. Ever since playing D&D and again since I started collecting boardgames, I've developed a weak spot for having a lot of different dice on hand.

[TabithaBear]

But drawing from Sam's experience, if you played competitively wouldn't the player who got the slow moving fighter be at a disadvantage and liable to have little chance of winning?

[johnyification]

slow moving fighter is more of advantage, you have more change to kill it, manouvure your hero's

[echtalion]

Hey Tom, are you exercising? Kudos :)

[johnyification]

the game does not take long to play because everybodycan take there turn in the same time

[johngentry]

wow tom, you have def lost some weight

[Dragon]

An interesting game, but just not for me -- I already have King's Armory, and it gives me far more of that tower defense feel, and seems to play better as a cooperative game rather than this one (which seems far more tuned for a competitive experience.)

[wroot_lt]

It probably would have made more sense for Sam to take the lead in the intro and say "let's look how it plays" as he is doing the overview. As for the game.. I'm getting tired of seeing them trying to put video game into a board game. Too much fiddliness and complexity usually. And the bland look doesn't help fight that for sure.

I know NOTHING about this game....as soon as I saw the game I knew I was not interested....
