I was struggling with deciphering the rule book, this video helped me IMMENSELY! I still have questions but I definitely feel less lost now and like I can figure out the rest on my own with trial and error! Thank you 😊

I just signed up to play D:AitI at a convention and was looking for a basic tutorial. This is really helpful - thanks! Looking forward to seeing how the system plays at the table.

Outstanding breakdown! I'm joining a new group tomorrow night. This video is so helpful. Thank you!

[MuamerHodzic]

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

Also, your duty joke caught me entirely off guard and had me rolling because I absolutely did not expect it.

As of right now the excellent Aussie @RoletoCast players are 7 podcast episodes in on a custom DUNE scenario called 'Shifting Sands'. Listening to the use of mechanics is fascinating, but your video helps to make things more understandable.

This is literally the explanation I needed. Over and over again I found videos who would walk step by step through the system, basically just reading the book to us, which is *not* helpful. The book sucks at teaching the game, *that's why we're looking for a video to teach it to us.* Synthesizing the book's information and teaching us the important bits is literally what we're looking for and you seem to be the only one willing to do that. There are so many game systems in need of this treatment that remain basically impossible to play because everyone assumes the book will teach everyone the game and they really don't. Lancer, Pendragon, Fading Suns, Zweihander, learning RPGs is done by tradition, not book reading, and if we never encounter someone willing to explain it the way you do, the system simply never gets learned.

Actually, could you do videos on any of those systems? I'm sitting here staring at my Lancer and Pendragon books wishing I'd realized this about RPGs about $600 ago.

Really helpful. Just sent this link to the rest of my group.

This is the kind of video I needed to help explain the game. Thank you!

Of course i look for a Dune video and its you sir. Thanks for running a great game, the advice and being a great person. GM Sam / Origins.

Question: in your example with the smuggler. GM set difficulty 4. You get the gm to reduce it by 1 for each asset used. In the example you mentioned that the smuggler trait and safe house will be used to lower difficulty. In the video you said that new difficulty level is 3, but isn’t it 2? Difficult 4-1 (smuggler)-1 (safe house)? Great video. This helped out tremendously

Fantastic. Thanks for putting this together

[Ngearke]

Great contributions! Thanks for taking the time to break down these rules! I really enjoyed your Alien breakdown too!

Very helpful video! Thank you! Though I'm not sure that you put the Drives use here right?
"To select which drive to use, look at the character’s drive statements and pick the one most appropriate to the situation. This is not necessarily the most advantageous, as drives can often be a disad- vantage in some circumstances. The drive linked to the drive statement you choose is the one you must use for the test. If multiple statements are appropriate, choose which of those drives to use. If none of the statements apply, choose one of the character’s drives that does not have a statement to use in the test."

That was a very helpful explanation! Thank you!

Thanks! This is a great review of the basics that saved me a lot of time!

How You count the exp of character? i see that there are limited options how to get growth point.Example after you lose test dif.3 ... thats 1 point...but you count every lose ?or just 1 EXP as general for such type of "growth" ?
