Great Game Hunters - Spidicules Episode: Part 2 (Patreon)

Note: I'm missing for the first half of this episode due to personal reasons.  I'm back in time for the gear section.

I'm honestly still a bit lost with the Spidicules expansion, I find that it fails to add stuff to a campaign in so many areas.  It's an early game monster that's not worth hunting until the mid/late game because of how oddly things are gated.  But the weapons are exclusively early game, so it seems that the original design idea was to create something that you hunt all campaign - like the Gorm - but in practice it's created something that just doesn't work right.

Weapons that are directly similar to White Lion weapons, an armor kit that requires killing a level 3 to get it but then doesn't hold up in the late game, utility items that are utterly broken in certain builds etc etc.

I want to like Spidicules, I really do, the showdown is fantastic and things like the Silk Surgeon are amazing.  But I just can't, I can't.  It's a complete and abject failure of an expansion because of how close it comes to being good, but how far away it actually is from being amazing.

As always this will be posted up for the general public next weekend.
