A couple of playtesters asked for a video instead of the rules. Fair enough. Nobody bought a dungeon crawl to read about one.
So there’s now a four-minute video that teaches tier 1 by playing through crypt 1, The Front Door. It covers everything you need to start: the kit, your bookmark, a turn, fighting, chests, keys, the dark, dying, and the Bone Warden waiting at the bottom.

What you’re looking at
The pages in the video are the playtest books, stand-in drawings and all. When the real art is done, the video gets redone to match. The rules are the current playtest rules, so if a number changes after this round, the video will too.
A new channel
The video lives on our new YouTube channel. Expect more how-to-play videos as later tiers get tested, plus the occasional look at how the book gets made.

Still stuck?
If something in the video doesn’t match what you see on the page, or a rule still doesn’t make sense, ask in the playtest channel on Discord. The question itself tells us which rule needs fixing.
