We’re playing with the Randy Random storyteller. Unlike the other storytellers, who send problems (raids, crop blights, and so on) and benefits (cargo drops, new colonists, and so on) in a fairly predictable manner, Randy Random simply throws whatever he wants at your colony, whenever he wants to. Will we get a fifteen-man raid on our colony’s first day? A supply drop of shirts followed by a cold snap in mid-summer? Who knows! Randy’s not telling! In Part 1 of this Let’s Play, we do all the usual Part 1 things: Pick a landing spot, meet our colonists, and start building a place to live. We have landed in a temperate, mountainous forest, with a long growing season — something to help stack the deck against whatever nonsense Randy is going to throw at us. Our colonists (spoiler alert): - Sam Wissa, an ace fighter pilot who is psychically deaf, masochistic, and jealous, so we should expect a bedroom-related tantrum from him soon. He’s an excellent shot, very sociable, and a good researcher too. He’s the sort of guy who would be the star of any TV show, so he will probably die off in the second episode. - Jon Craig. A space hunter by trade, trained since birth, he’s also the worst shot of our three colonists. A slothful ascetic, he’s slow moving, can’t do anything intellectual, and isn’t great at much besides hunting and animal handling. At least we don’t have to build him a nice room! - Felix von Schild grew up as a factory worker before becoming a combat medic in his planet’s war. He’s also Jon Craig’s son, so Jon must have left him working in the urban factories to wander from planet to planet hunting big game. (Not the galaxy’s best dad, perhaps?) He’s a decent shot with very good medical skills, and perhaps our best builder. He’s also a fast-walking, careful-shooting pyromaniac who may burn our colony down. Join our colonists as they gather wood, build beds, make a freezer, and do all the First-Day things colonists have to do to prepare for the nonsense that Randy Random will be throwing at them on the RimWorld! ==== About Bjorn Strongndarm’s Let’s Play: I’m just a guy who likes to keep the camera running while I play games. I aim to provide mature but family-friendly commentary in a way that enhances the story that unfolds in the game. In my RimWorld gameplay commentary, I try to draw out the stories of the colonists themselves as much as possible. Having fun is more important than winning. Remember, Losing is Fun! (At least, if Done Right.) (Oh, and p.s.: It’s pronounced “Strong-in-the-arm”. With thanks to Sir Terry Pratchett.) ==== My Previous RimWorld Let’s Play Series: Series 1 (RimWorld Alpha 14): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYlBkCxUn55i-NJJWEQMkWgYNphq-sAN5 Series 2 (RimWorld Alpha 15): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLYlBkCxUn55gN621vbhvRKisTkt_AyfXK ==== RimWorld is a colony simulator game inspired by Dwarf Fortress and Firefly.
