Hey all! I plan on having some games to stream this weekend for you, but tonight lets check out some videos you may have missed so you can get some in-depth info on how to play Gallerie!
I feel like y'all probably have a pretty good feel for the content in this game, so I want to start you off here: A playlist of a bunch of the core mechanics.
There are 5 videos in here that are each between 3 and 10 minutes long that will give you the rundown on most if the core dice mechanics in the game, as well as some neat side features. There's also one of several character creation examples done live at the end so you can see them used in real time. Check them out either before or during our live games so you better understand what the dice are doing. Gallerie's a very simple game mechanically; you'll have a good enough idea of how it works after these that you could drop right into a live game and not be lost.
From there, you could proceed through the tomb of the silver monkey through the prelude document videos! These were released during the campaign spinup and involve going through the Prelude document (that's this guy if you missed it: https://www.weaponsgradefunk.com/_files/ugd/5bb3e8_ae7f5b97cab9409090b0010338efd9b9.pdf ) spread-by-spread and explaining thought processes and ideas behind the game and design. There are fully 13 videos in this list so there's lots to see! Most of them are between 7-10 minutes.
At this point you're pretty well-versed in the overview of the place, so dive in with some actual play! We have a whole weekend's worth of live play videos stored on twitch right now where you can see these ideas put into practice with some truly original and creative characters. A stuffed snake made of yarn, a late 1800's trans glassier, a living shotgun who just wants to be loved, a jailbreak of 300 raccoons on a steamship, come check them out!
Starting next week, I'll also be working on a new set of videos that are diverging a bit from the mechanisms of the game and getting deeper into why I wanted to make it and what they mean to me. Here's the list of ideas I'm currently tumbling around!
Favorite Brushwork
Favorite Manifestation and Motiff powers
Favorite Favor
Favorite Enemy
Manifestation videos (All 6 motiff options broken down) The nature of Manifestation and how it pertains to queer and therian experiences
I'd love to know which one's you'd all like to see first! Hit it up in the poll below, but do it quick! It ends Sunday!
