The achievements sound really fun! It would be interesting to know which achievements she got from the first book.

Hm, I'd have to watch the footage again, but from memory she got Heroic (save Banedon and help the kids on the highway) and Elusive Potion (found the Alether). Also, she killed the Gourgaz (1/5 of the Kai series "Boss Fight" meta), and did a few things for the Death-Defying award. The latter is a bunch of dangerous sections throughout the book you can do. You need 5 points total, and in book 1, some are worth more than others. They ditched that aspect in all subsequent books for some reason; each DD section in book 2 and onwards is worth 1 point. I don't recall if she did enough of them.

I've tried some of the other book reader programs, and they're mostly ok, but Seventh Sense achievements are a whole 'nother level of awesome. Nothing else compares to them, really. Such a crying shame that both vanilla and the newer "S" fork seem to have been abandoned by their developers. Well vanilla is officially on indefinite hiatus. The S fork is a bit of a question mark currently - it was updated frequently from December-February of this year, but there has been radio silence since then.

Head’s up: our next session will be this SUNDAY instead of Saturday, and will take place at 1:00pm (GMT-8). This isn’t a permanent switch, just for this week due to my travel schedule.

[Zipp]

Thanks for everyone who joined us today! I'll post when we have the next session. In the meantime, I've updated the front page with the link to episode 2

[Ofecks]

So far she's met the following for Seventh Sense awards:

Mischievous (game cheat) - 1/3 (arm wrestling)
Bounty (criminals) - 1/3 (harbor thugs)
Heroic - 2/3 (cartwheel, cardsharp)
High Combat - 2/12

Would've had Heroic in the bag had she decided to play Portholes with the Green Sceptre crew. You changed the cup game/cardsharp thing a bit but I'm counting it anyway. Only two combats so on-par with the Low Combat award (depending on what she does during the death-hulk battle), but the coach passenger is forced and you changed that too (to some crazy stuff, I liked it!). There's still a chance to kill 2 Helghasts so she might get 2/5 in that bounty. Others she missed completely:

Mischievous (3 tasks) - ignore the pickpocket boy at the Ragadorn emporium (or chase after him to try and take the purse yourself); ignore the cardsharp; bribe the Durenese border guards
Death-Defying - survive being poisoned twice (sand snake; food in Gorn Cove)
Charitable - give a large amount of money to Ragadorn street beggars; acquire then give away the Magic Spear
Mischievous (Gorn Cove Massacre) - kinda complicated but it involves killing the various coach passengers, the Cove townspeople, and/or the Durenese border guards for varying amounts of points and you need 4 total
Epic Failure 1 - pawn the Seal of Hammerdal for 40 crowns then inevitably die in Port Bax jail
Epic Failure 2 (Seventh Sense S only) - die to Halvorc in combat (lol)

You told her that Parsion is a Redeemer! That's gonna mess with her in later books when she comes across them just wanting to help.

That's amazing, Olfecks. I love these. I hope you enjoyed the change up I introduced for book 2!

[Zipp]

Just a heads up to Olfecks and anyone else who wishes to tune in this weekend: we are back to Saturday at 11 (GMT-8). This will be a shorter session, maybe only a couple hours, but it will be a roller coaster of a ride, taking us through the remainder of Book 2. Hope to see you there!

[Ofecks]

Yup I'll be there if I don't sleep past 2pm (the struggle is real).

e: and that's exactly what happened. I hate my life. I did watch listen to the VoD, though. Liked all the visions you gave her of future quests when she picked up the 'Swerd, nice touch. She got pretty bloodthristy during the death-hulk battle (I mean, what new player doesn't when you're just given a god-blade?) so she didn't get the Low Combat award, and she killed 1 Helghast (I think? It was running in the background as I played another game so I was only half-listening) but you need 5.

No worries! I can't sleep past 6:00am, so there's that

I'm glad you got to listen after the fact! Only killed one Helghast this adventure, yup yup!

I was talking to Morgaknight offline and she said she would love if you kept track of these achievements somewhere other than the forum. A google doc, maybe? Or a blog? Anyway, she said if you had such a document, she would link to it whenever we play so people can keep up with the achievements

I can do that on google docs, sure. Will edit this post or post again when I have it set up. Right now I just have book 2's written down so I'll have to watch the first couple episodes again to do book 1. I'd need a list of her inventory at the end of the Kai and MK series for some item-collecting stuff.

Will it be okay to provide details on what she missed and how to get them (like I did a few posts ago in this thread), or is that too spoilery? I wouldn't mention anything she hasn't seen or passed by yet, of course. Your and her call.

I think it's fun to mention the missed items/events/etc! I'm sure she'd like it, and it really drives home how different playthroughs can be. I would say just don't give directions on how to reach those things (so, don't say something like, "she missed taking the left branch at the fork in the road and thus seeing the disguised Helghast surrounded by the Szalls") and you'll be fine!

It's a cool side project

I'm hoping she has youtube episodes 3 and 4 up soon!

[Ofecks]

Alright, working on the doc now. Watched the book 1 footage again and she completed three awards actually! Not sure why I didn't catch it the first time. It's funny because two of them (High Combat and Death-defying) are the ones I'm going to be getting in ALL books 1-12 in my ongoing achievement run project. That is, assuming testing the route goes as planned, which is coming along slowly.

Stuff about spoilers noted. I will mention what the requirements are but not how to go about them. So, maybe minor spoilers but nothing too bad.

[Zipp]

And now you can see the episode you missed, Olfecks! Unless you already caught it on Twitch. Regardless, episode three has been posted on YouTube and updated on the front page here

[Zipp]

Oh! And just in case people don’t know, we are skipping this Saturday due to family commitments and will be back the weekend after with the first live episode of CAVERNS OF KALTE

[Ofecks]

I've been distracted lately by MMO adventures and I've picked up my bass guitar again after a long time of not playing it, also some regular scheduled IRL stuff that's long overdue. But I've finally reviewed all the footage up to this point and got a doc started.

docs.google.com/document/d/1J9_gX15-Ra9hArMSHoYpkaBWdYNigP4KZQAALyNEj9k/edit?usp=sharing

Should be view-only. Let me know if that's not the case and if you have any suggestions for improvements. Formatting and stuff is a WIP.

I'll try to tune in Saturday, but I'm planning a house meeting where I live so if all my roommates are present like I asked them to be, I'll have to duck out early. One dude hasn't been here all week so it might not happen.

That document is really great!!

We'll be going live in a couple of hours, I'll be sure to post the link to the document. Hope you are able to join today!
