Welcome one and all to my very first video Let's Play!  With this in mind I have chosen one of my all-time favourite games; Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magic Obscura.  Join our not-so-gentleman bandit Jack Hunt on his adventures through a world of magic, rocked by the advent of the industrial age!

Perfect voice for this game, have to say.

And oh dear, using guns. That's going to be... an intriguing challenge.

It would be a lot easier to go backstab-halfling-chronomancer, to be sure, but I enjoy making my life difficult.  I'm setting these up to appear M-W-F, so the next one will appear midnight GMT on Monday.

Also noticed you didn't go for the Kite Shaman over on the other side of the map. There was this one time when I killed him with an Escaped Lunatic and found a suit of magical plate mail in his treasure chest. Plate mail + Escaped Lunatic = nigh-invulnerability, as it turns out.

And then there's the classic half-ogre who Ran Away With The Circus. Starting the game with 20 Strength, what fun that was. And that's not even getting into the low-int dialogue.

Will be lurking here, since Arcanum is one of my all time favorite games.
Dwarven pyromaniac was one of my most... entertaining characters. "Hey Lloyd, catch!"

Next two videos are up.  These are set to a M-W-F schedule, arriving at midnight GMT on each day.  In these videos we explore a little more of Shrouded Hills and engage in a spot of, eheh, forced withdrawal from the banking system.

Chapter Four takes us to the decrepit city of Dernholm, capital of Cumbria, a dying kingdom.  We lose some barfights, acquire a new companion and play match-maker with the elderly.

This Monday, stay tuned for Chapter Five: Meddling in the Affairs of Halflings!

Chapter Six (https://youtu.be/qqmKUwO_oGg) is out, and has our party face off against beasts beyond mortal ken!  Someday we'll find out who this Mortal Ken fellow is, too.
