This video’s a bit different. Instead of a guide or tutorial, I just wanted to share my honest thoughts on The Elder Scrolls: Heroes of Tamriel campaign as it went live. I’ve been deep into this game for months now, with over twenty videos on my channel already, so I couldn’t resist jumping in to see what Chip Theory Games is bringing next. As someone who’s also been involved in playtesting parts of the new content, I figured it’d be more genuine to fully embrace my bias rather than pretend to be “neutral.” So, I scroll through the campaign page and give my real-time reactions — the good, the confusing, and the exciting bits.

We’re getting two new provinces, Summerset and Elsweyr, along with new heroes, classes, and skill lines like Dual Wielding and Storm Calling. I admit, I was a little disappointed not to see the third province yet, but then realised it’s probably a good sign — it means more content is still on the way. Overall, I see this campaign as a solid continuation for Betrayal of the Second Era, packed with great art, strong design choices, and plenty to look forward to.

20 Strong: Tanglewoods Red is a compact solo dice-and-cards adventure from Chip Theory Games, where you journey through the forest to reach Grandma’s Cabin and face the Big Bad Wolf. When I first picked it up, I realised that learning it required reading two separate rulebooks (one for the core 20 Strong system and another for this specific deck), so I wanted to make something simpler. This video combines both into a single, complete tutorial that walks through setup, rules, and gameplay from start to finish.

I explain everything step by step: how to set up your hero, what your stats mean, how the forest traversal works, and how encounters, merchants, and dice mechanics tie together. Then I run through a gameplay example so you can actually see how the game flows in practice. If you’ve ever wanted to try 20 Strong, this guide should get you playing without needing to flip between rulebooks.

The Templar is a well-rounded warrior that mixes healing, defence, and some of the strongest burst and area damage in the game. It’s a hybrid between a melee bruiser and a magic user, with abilities like Sun Shield giving you bonus health for extra survivability and Solar Flare letting you turn that defence into raw offence. When you combine that with Luminous Shards for wide-range attacks, you end up with a class that’s durable, flexible, and capable of ridiculous damage spikes. It’s one of those classes that looks simple at first but becomes incredibly rewarding once you start stacking bonus health and chaining abilities together.

In this video, I go through every Templar ability in detail, show how to upgrade to the master side, and talk about the best race and skill line choices to make the most of it. I also cover a few race options like Imperial, Breton, and Dark Elf and explain how each one can push the build in a different direction. By the end, you’ll see why I consider Templar easily one of the top three strongest classes in the game – a tanky brawler that can heal, nuke, and hold its own in just about any situation.

Part of my first impressions series covering all 12 Neon Reign heroes in solo mode – this time it’s Pynk vs Blaquesmith in a tricky back-and-forth battle on Hard difficulty.

In this video, I ranked all of the boss relics in Slay the Spire: The Board Game based on my own experience after hundreds of hours with both the digital and tabletop versions. Some relics feel like automatic picks that can carry a whole run, while others are situational or even a bit of a trap depending on your setup.

I go through each relic, explain how I rated them, and share the reasoning behind their placement. The goal isn’t just to make a tier list but to give practical insight into when a relic actually shines and when it might not be worth the risk.

In this solo match, I played Neon against Jynn on hard mode, and it turned into a brutal back-and-forth fight. Neon’s passive gave me a few extra cards through counters, and Glow was great for unblockable damage, but Jynn’s constant shields and his devastating star ability, Posture, made him pretty hard to crack!

The Two Handed skill line is all about raw damage, and I’d say it’s probably the strongest of the starting damage-dealing options in the game. What I love about it is that most of the dice stand strong on their own, you don’t need tons of support pieces to make them work. Momentum can dish out ridiculous amounts of damage, Executioner is one of the most powerful dice in the whole game with its instant-kill effect, and Cleave gives you a way to spread damage without even targeting enemies directly. It’s aggressive, straightforward, and hugely rewarding to play if you enjoy hitting hard and cutting through tricky enemy skills.

In this video, I go through each die one by one, starting from Wrecking Blow at level one and working all the way up to Cleave. I explain how they work, when to use them, and highlight some common mistakes and rules clarifications.

The Warden is all about nature magic and companions, and it feels quite different from most other classes. Instead of dealing direct damage yourself, you’re summoning and empowering creatures like the Diving Cliff Racer and, later, the Feral Guardian, which quickly becomes the real star of any build. With abilities like Living Vines and Bond with Nature keeping your beasts alive, plus Advanced Species letting them take extra turns, you end up commanding a small army that can shred enemies while you stay relatively safe in the background. It’s a very thematic class, and I found it surprisingly strong once you get the hang of juggling your summons.

In this guide, I go over every ability the Warden has, how the novice and master sides compare, and which races and skill lines pair best with its summoning playstyle. I talk through some of the standout tricks, like using Expert Summoner to pile on damage or Pacify to shut down elusive enemies, and I share how the class plays out in practice with a bit of gameplay at the end. If you’ve ever wanted to play a summoner who leans fully into commanding companions, the Warden is definitely worth a look.

Daedric Summoning is easily one of my favourite skill lines in The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era. It’s just really fun and thematic, especially if you’re into companion builds. Power Stone is probably the highlight here – it lets you completely control your dice rolls, which feels amazing and is honestly one of the strongest effects in the whole game. Bound Armaments is another great one for granting extra engages (though a bit tricky to use), and Expert Summoner boosts your companions so much it feels like you’re doubling or even tripling their effectiveness. Clanfear also deserves a shout-out, as its aggressive trait makes its damage output super consistent with built-in rerolls.

In this video, I break down each of the Daedric Summoning dice and explain how their abilities work, including some common rules questions you might have. You’ll see exactly how tricky abilities like Tempered Soul can trigger in actual gameplay and how you can set up some clever combos. Whether you’re running a dedicated companion strategy or just like having dice you can fully rely on, Daedric Summoning has loads to offer, and I’ll share my best tips for getting the most out of it.

In this playthrough, I’m taking Jynn against Fae on hard mode. Jynn is easily the most defensive character in Neon Reign, starting the game with extra shield tokens and gaining even more whenever you play a left joystick. It sounds like a strong counter to aggressive opponents – but there’s a catch. Fae’s star ability, Elusive Maneuver, deals unblockable damage, completely bypassing my shields.

This was a pretty rewarding match!
