I really appreciate this video!

I have only been playing dnd but I got hooked on CofD thanks to the Botch Pit. Now I have 4 of the books being shipped and a one-shot planned :D

Your videos on the crunchier aspect of CofD is really appreciated.

I've been playing world of darkness and Chronicles of darkness 8 or 10 years now. It's good to see somebody doing videos like this to describe the mechanics. I highly encourage you to do more. I specifically could use some insight on changeling onoromancy

[jasonitaliano]

Excellent. The algorithm seems to be giving me your videos and it is useful to have breakdowns of subsystems available to new playgroups

These videos are great, thanks for making them Corbin! If I may add to the list of requests: a video on the crunch for ephemeral beings (ghosts/spirits/angels) would be super helpful! Thanks again :)

Thanks for this. Giving myself a crash course in mystery-related stuff, since one of my Changeling players is interested in playing a PI. (Probably both "Private" and "Paranormal") so I'd like to give him time to shine. It really helps that you broke this down, since I think I was over-complicating the crunch part.

I really enjoyed the video. It's not flashy, but it's very clear and useful.

[warlocksanctumgames]

These are fantastic. I hope to see more of these subsystem high lights :D

[Nemastoncito]

Ey great video! This is really useful. ¿Can you tell in what page it's the rule for remove tainted clues? Loking forward for other videos in this format
