Let's Play Spectromancer 1 - Gathering the Power (200th Subscriber Special!)

Recorded with BB Flashback Pro.
Game published 2007-2012 by Three Donkeys LLC (current version available from publisher's website; Gamestop PC Downloads & Steam may have up through Truth & Beauty expansion).
This computerized fantasy card game bears some resemblances to the publisher's earlier game Astral Masters, but incorporates a bit more plot in campaign mode. I try my first campaign game with the most recent expansion (Gathering of Power), using the new Warrior Priest wizard type (like Cleric from the original game, but more aggressive). I briefly explain the game mechanics as we go along, making special note of things which appear to have changed with the new expansion.

high perceived of truck bomb
and welcome to the 200 subscriber
special after
calling 200 20 some-odd subscribers
spectrum answer which was published
originally by three darkies lol CEO and
2007 they're here
be and three expansions that I know of
first being
League of heroes which is
very much like the
leaderboard type campaigning in
this company's earlier game after a
master's
second one was truth and beauty
which introduce a new character classes
and and thus the latest one gather
enough power
but she introduces a couple more
character classes
I was basically a car driven fantasy
here yep
red card game this difference
from Astro masters
in mechanics a beeotch and also
in that its campaign mode actually have
a little bit about
plot to it show
we're not going to do a single tool
campaign with it's basically a string of
legal tools
tied together by a story like flats what
we're going to do here
well yes you can build your own tax
you can play the multi-player
I'll there is some music that plays
in the background I am NOT going to keep
it on
for very long though because it does
seem to get
kinda louder all
so we're going to try it with the Music
Hall of I will keep
sound effects although because thats
not have all the time and for you too
could have been
select pit here
and will start the campaign
yeah now back before I installed the
slave expansion I had umpteen campaign
games:
shave down here but
evidently those all got erased which is
just as well through a new campaign
object if not look like a
yeah that of
my knee
but that does not look like me at all
if doesn't look like the real me but
close enough
warrior prefix one of the new wizard
types
introduced the expansion and its
probably the easiest one to get use to
if you
played one of the earlier versions the
game so we're going to try to act
answer creator character and
we have a number a little text pop-up
screen set
basically narrate the plot
for 1,000 years
peace in order have reined CrossRef Tia
the war darkness concluded with an
alliance of majors
narrowly defeating the demi-god door
lack
would be master the universe hit hardest
the immense power the App Store spectrum
by creating a great prism
with this artifact he could split
and recombine the a affect the after all
energy
to devastating effect in the final
battle door lock with the city created
the prison shattered
but its remnants could not be destroyed
by any force already a
the victorious made is decided to spread
the shards among its members for
safekeeping
they chose the council to be
what great if pages in the land
purposely selected for their rivalry
a trip each other both good and evil
scholars and lawyers were included so no
alliance with ever
or Muslim where FBI has been ruled by
this your mortal majors ever finch
each one a master a portion of the Astra
spectrum
ho orphaned at a young age
your pic on your studies under the
master chaos is one of his many
apprentices
your life of devoted service was late
lane out before you until one night
Celestia the guardian angel %uh Ravinia
herself
visited you from the stars warning your
butt doc
threat to the world order yet NADPH
the the music for house of cards from
the TV in the next room
yeah BBC series over the last millennium
your master became corrupted by his
peace
the spectrum his soul twisted by madness
he is attempting to inflate humanity the
left defenseless
and battle live almost to a standstill
for last year's physical form
has been temporarily banished from this
plane but
you masters gravely we can reach an easy
to finish defeated him
and rescue the chaos prisons chart who

weekend so
dickey your printer lose your life

to the help
what option for favors the options for
the main menu
all that goes back to main menu are you
could surrender
you hang out for ya
so each player has
certain level of
up power in fire magic water magic
air magic in earth magic and the last
one is whatever kind magic they
specialize in
now I believe the cleric which
their warrior priest is based off on
was all tied with the like magic
out evidently where prices tight with
the Chaos magic cellco
whatever now it earlier versions are the
Skaven
especially earlier at
go you'd have to earn the cards you
played with
you would not start with all this many
carts
I don't know why they're showing the
care think I'm going to start by plane
amor folk elder
should be hearing the sound effects
his each card is played
she or
or try wall of fire
and
I'm the air players playing in Philly in
Berserker
notices you
mouse over the cards it shows a
description when you click on it
to selected and then you click on the
square that you wanna play for them
it
chain priest to fire
playing at the wall of fire
I'll fine
bolt at this was the easiest level
a life are still fun
be challenging enough the I'll
yeah I got an extra life and put the
fairy sage its
mother
fall of lightning well
I
now the angel amore when Angela worth
seventy deals 8 damage to each the
opponent's creatures and he'll
8 life to each it so these creatures him
that got rid of a couple the enemy
creatures
K
think well now
hire an elven healer notice a lesser
cast does not have that many
wife points left
ok you know of a white you finish
checking out for West it tells you the
rest to the shower holder counter
have council has been corrupted just as
your master has
time is running out because eventually
wanna that will be dominated by a shark
enslave the world you must defeat the
mall
gather the shards and turn them over to
Celestia for safekeeping
you must travel across the land fighting
the servant for the council
and anyone who would argue way in your
quest so we got the chaos present shark
model that might be different art for
that
and for now this is the first campaign
map
or being propped deflector next opponent
and you
click on it if I'm find what each one is
like
this foo Lorain OH
lorraine was your master sister probably
too strong for you to defeat
you must get over the lock or river
before Laredo bring she just just
to justice for attacking lorena will
start deal with
to couple berserkers an ED the defeat
her survive for returns
and if you win
upgrade have gobbled Berserker card
or mine MasterCard kid
jail near the

Master will not let you pass through his
land a priest to fire low what's left
yet
shown you a secret after this camp
defeat him to gain free passage
Gambhir's lap
rail okay walks

I don't think that was in the game
before your get
also like

the bar cool
and then the upgrade Fe use it starts
out with an attack at seven and
increased by one each turn
mom not that something new
this expansion UK
or here is chappie a local magistrate
working for the council he's been
ordered to slay you recover your card

from the celestial hall P
you'll start duel with master healer
chappie will start do with the Chris
Botta powers

upgrade a master healer car think we'll
start
with Lorain OH all

defeat all
okay we are sure to come
berserkers can
put a well lightening their
I'm assuming that laura has the upgraded
version suppose
problem purser will put for sprite there
ok
and
maybe I I scarred K

priest to fire
actually prefer this
she sprite you ok
put up another priest to fire s
are she's part of another cop Berserker
hey I need to survive three more turn
for
bring up and angel shift
so that's why they're allowing us to
have more car to start with your instead
have early new card you hurting
upgrades cards he will take the priest
fire again
cast
okay
me to survive one more tear
yeah

Anhui survived and defeated her
so either

now their stay on the air again
other two choices this time are
you the face love
Duke aquatic in enigmatic wizard
river to know how to bind to control
after Bart's
Celeste yes advise you to procure it
this useful secret room
the faithful out by any means necessary
the face love will start to love the
crease
amount of water power and with decreased
about other powers
and our ward would be an upgraded the
Astro garden
or an upgrade at the wall of fire
who or
you have your real number the condition
you've received word from a mine master
from leave here call it that
Iran may be sympathetic to your
situation
have a mind master negotiator in your be
Nick kosch he adds force me to go she
ate
on your behalf are we ready to battle
their way onto the ad
yeah now this was actually harder in the
earlier
ones because you have to fight a
different badalti
get the mine MasterCard to start with so
either defeat the opponent or something
the mind master
and you get
ice-cold or
a wallop lightning great named
her tribe
of K
it will start by for many in the fairy
sage
the at this time we actually have to
defeat the faithful up
got increase water powers
decrease other powers we
crease to fire okay
hi hey Hester car its decrease the group
have your powers so
it's really important to get somebody
confronted the ass regard
to whittle away added
because the two you defeat at its
they're really put a cramp your style
can
course by from potentially decrease a
fire that does increase
he croaked have the firepower thread
helps make up for having
the astral far there
are
okay finally

try to explain about the car
as we go along course not a whole lot
you can explain at one time but
its hopefully played on the field
here down okay after his defeat
the face of all them to a momentary
trance he claims to have seen a vision
of the future success in office teacher
AG you
if he is allowed to remain lord it is
I'll shuttle
we can either get an upgrade to the
Astro guard card
or F grade TV wall of fire card
I think newt a crab that makes the
upgrade makes a wildfire
almost as good as the wall of lightning
okay so there's
chappie there's new rayon
go and
and there's hurry on hammer
truth executioner for the count from the
3G Celestia has given you a momentary
opening to neutralize the threat
likes putting her limited power
temporarily stun this powerful may teach
opponent will skip his will skips
his first returns
yeah defeat amor lose your life
her word will be either a upgrade out
the Lightning Bolt
or Nov creative nature's ritual
I think we'll take him and then we
finish this battle
little probably time to in the episode
for
share I think we're going to summon the
Griffin
are airpower is over 5
so that'll do five
damage to carry on
were rude
yeah
let's do that here the sooner the five
damage okay
no I think we will summon a giant turtle
paints

Stearns
so he should be taking a turn next
yeah who
how K

Griffen I like both
okay he's hired amor folk at the state
who

at
yep we defeated him and it took this
long basically because we are
I was like oh I had the game on pause
well
its the record on pause while I fetch
lost in blue from school
there's a change from nineteen minutes
20 minutes while
talking case we can you upgrade the
Lightning Bolt spell
or upgrade the nature's ritual spell
people take that one okay for now we can
either take
day I'm here 0
or chappie
I'll or Eritrea

mmm wonder if we can to diarrhea
yeah
so basically what to avoid using water
card so we can build up a water power
may eventually something that line
master start by
from any or chieftain okay
and will bring up a wall of lightning
K
