What is says on the tin. Watch the playthrough, it’s hilarious. Some easter eggs from this are definitely making their way into the final draft of BSW. Hemmingways are the new official energy drink of BSW, and one line of dialog inspired a t-shirt design (if you're curious and want to purchase when we're they're made, sign up using the contact form on the right side of the page>>>).
What are you still doing here? Start watching Wandering Monster play through the Demon Mine of the Nine-Eyed Freak, or, The Greatest Wizard Bachelor Party Ever.
You’re still here? Fine, I'll share more content.
From a design standpoint, watching this playthrough was incredibly, incredibly helpful. Most games I’ve run have gone super violent, super fast. The WM crew took a lot of time to engage with the world, feel empathy with its residents, and to try and solve problems without violence. It led to a pretty great RP experience that, I think really appropriately, resulted in a relatively easy walk through of the dungeon. On a very meta level it worked, because the idea that the dungeons in this world aren’t actually that difficult to navigate if you stop shooting things for a goddamn minute is just hilarious.
I cannot say how amazing an experience it was to watch this talented group play through a game I wrote. It’s surreal, but incredibly gratifying as an aspiring creator.
