    Just a tip for Windows 10 Users listening to this, you can turn Mono audio on under the Windows Audio settings (just type Mono in the start menu and it will pull that option up). Audio was corrected after the first three episodes were recorded.

    Spending 45 minutes making a character who dies in 5 minutes? Sounds like something any player of Traveller might be familiar with! (Actually, in Traveller they often die within those 45 minutes) 😂
  • @hikerbyday
    I'm currently on my second time through this series. The entire presentation is utterly entertaining and inspiring! Thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your time and imagination!
  • @lowaimnobrain
    Man, you must have sold so many extra copies of this game. Really nicely put together.
  • @sonny7687
    This is really awesome I'm happy I found this
  • @JoshuaMeehan
    Wow I am really enjoying how well this is put together! Really made my day to see this!
  • @TheJDough1
    Great first video man. I’ve been reading the book along with this and it’s been great. Thank you
  • @UllricLex
    I like it so far and will keep watching.
  • @euansmith3699
    You've got great delivery. Thanks for giving this introduction to character creation.
  • @MRdaBakkle
    You know watching this back you saying that you wouldn't have an animal companion and yet you ended up with little flying dinos in your ship.
  • @Drawoon
    It took me a while to realize that the scavenger symbol is a vulture, not a flamingo.
  • Just bought this today and it will be my first rpg of this genre as I’m relying on a lot of my own creativity. I have never done that and it will be struggle for sure but exciting at the same time. Love your videos on this and should definitely help me learn this massive game system. I have the original Ironsworn as well and plan on playing that as well but this one just caught my imagination big time!!
  • @IAcePTI
    The name of the ship should have been named the "Archive"... it goes so well with the PC description
  • Just stopping in to say that I'm looking forward to listening! I backed the Kickstarter, and have had the book and other materials for a bit now, but haven't tried to play yet. I'm excited to give it a shot!
  • This is great. I really love this video. Stumbled upon the how to play, and came here to hear about session 0. Really happy to see how it's all put together. Can't wait to start playing myself and hopefully bring others!

    Just paid for the late pledge for Starforged. I suspect will be watching your videos very closely for the next few months. Thanks for posting these
