This game makes for a really great podcast to listen to at work. Not the kind of game I'd buy or play but very entertaining to listen to nevertheless. Bairnt brings life and infectious enthusiasm to every video.

Just for the viewers’ benefit, at 1:25:09, note that there are time tracker tokens. Pg. 40 shows how those tokens are placed. There is nothing wrong with using a generic marker, of course. But the tokens do help keep Threat cards from having too many generic markers on them.

You always have the best playthroughs and explanations. Because of you, I'm all in on this for wave two! As always, your content is AMAZING. Keep it up Bairnt. Glad to see the channel growing!

Really loved this one. Have actually completed it

[beerman]

Well great Bairnt. Forced me to go order the playmats. 😅🤗 Now I'm going to have to wait for them to show up before I start

[bobbell]

I enjoyed the playthru.
A minor clarification, at 1:15:07, you don’t *lose* (sacrifice) a die, the die that gets bumped out goes to the Spent Pool (pg. 40 of the rulebook).

Love this Playthru man I hope you keep it up

[geerstyresoil]

Thanks for reading the Prologue cinematically I will use this for our coop games on a display much more immersive then passing around a comic book, kinda bewildering Awaken Realms didn't do something similar officially.

[blakecurry]

You had some good dice rolls this time around!

[AlbionGames]

Hi Bairnt, I passed on this one, though it did look intriguing. Will enjoy it watching your playthrough. I have Final Girl wave 1 incoming this week, so excited for that.
Onwards to infinity and beyond (or something) !

Thank you for not reading the Tutorial word for word. Watching you actually play the intro planet (instead of reading the tutorial guide) was a blessing. For whatever reason the tutorial provided was turning me off from the game. It was too narrowly guided and introduced way too many instruction breaks between each move it told you to make. Huge double negative in my book.

I pledged for the 2nd printing, can't wait for my copy to arrive around Thanksgiving (hopefully!)

[MichaelGaskin]

My second wave just came in two days after Christmas!

[kevinerskine]

I'm hoping enough people finish this and then decide they won't play it through again and are willing to trade it.

[bobbell]

I understand that running a stream and playing while narrating is tough, so the next is no criticism… it’s just that you forgot to do the Global Condition Dice Check for travel at 1:26:40.

[Dougmysticeye]

Fun play through Bairnt. My copy is waiting for me and this is enticing me to get it to the table soon. How many missions do you think you will play?

[trent_E]

I have to wait until wave 2 to get mine. I asked for single shipping instead of split. So it won’t be an ISS Vanguard Christmas 😢

[kmechwarrior]

Aren't the slots with the division symbol above the dice pool the spaces for the cards?

[WardenclyffeFail]

That cheap plastic for organization really take the quality of the game way down for me. Can’t stand the feel and sound of that stuff.

[olegyd]

Divine Coordinates.. Ans all that such a, stupid prologue make me laugh 😄..
You made amazing job as usually but even that not help This is so stupud teenage story…. In glad I didn't buy it 🤪🤪
Unsettled is milion times better in my opinion
