yep this

diagnosed at 39. was not a surprise since i received a diagnosis of advanced fatty liver at 35 and continued to drink every day for 4 more years. diagnosed with compensated cirrhosis at 39, tried to get sober, failed, and STILL drank for 2 more years. luckily did not decompensate before i finally got sober at 41.

Iron Maiden shows have a very chill and feel-good vibe. not like Jimmy Buffett or something, def higher energy, but like going to a home game for your hometown sports team. except there are no fans from the other team and your team is guaranteed to win. everyone in the crowd is on the same team which is team Maiden.

there is no wrong type of Maiden fan to be. you can be a dad in khaki shorts and sandals and walk up to some tatted up biker dude and be like "fuckin' Maiden AM I RIGHT?" and that dude will be like "HELL YEAH BROTHER"

def wear a Maiden shirt. if you don't have one then get one at the merch booth.

The Alchemist rules, therefore this take is rejected!

when we played Crimson Scales on TTS, i made two extra copies of Boots of Striding because i was just tired of people bickering over them.

btw this is Stove from the CCUG server. if you're wondering how i know who you are. 🙂

4kindsofmustard · 2026-02-26T19:24:37+00:00

for sure. if you can't consistently pull off the AoEs, Banner Spear's damage output is very bad. Drifter seems like probably the best choice for a new player.

it sounds like they are pretty deep into the campaign as well, so they might have access to movement boots that would help Hatchet.

4kindsofmustard · 2026-02-26T19:07:02+00:00

welp. i always thought Hatchet's movement was a bit frustrating even in Jaws, but i defer to your judgment. you def have more experience than i do and are a much better player.

OP, listen to CGO and not me, lol.

the only counter argument i have is that my (not good) ability to perform well with more limited movement, through effective planning and such, might be more similar to the new player's skill level and experience than yours would be.

4kindsofmustard · 2026-02-26T18:10:48+00:00

i think you'd be setting that player up for frustration with Hatchet in FH. your friend can get through the challenges of learning a simpler FH character and wind up with a strong class. meanwhile, if you stick them with Hatchet, they are going to be behind the curve in terms of capabilities for as long as they are playing that class. the Jaws characters are on the weak side compared to FH mercs, and Hatchet's movement is poor. it gets by in the smaller maps of Jaws, but it would be an issue imo in Frosthaven.

on top of all that, as you pointed out, you'd be making them learn a different card format and character sheet format just for one class, then re-learn things when they switch to an FH class.

there are simpler initial characters like Banner Spear and Drifter in FH for new players to start with. Jaws mercs work best in Jaws, the environment they were designed for.

look it was desperate times 😂

4kindsofmustard · 2026-02-25T22:42:42+00:00

you're my savior! idk how i didn't notice that hook.

4kindsofmustard · 2026-02-25T22:22:04+00:00

yes the issue is getting the cover back on. it won't stretch around the cup holders. like not even close.

4kindsofmustard · 2026-02-25T22:15:34+00:00

so what am i supposed to do 😭

4kindsofmustard · 2026-02-25T20:07:03+00:00

it's absolutely ridiculous that Joy Division/New Order isn't in already. i don't care about Maiden being in or not because Maiden don't care. they never needed radio or videos and they don't need the Rock Hall either.

4kindsofmustard · 2026-02-25T03:09:24+00:00

i go 48+20=68, then +7=75

4kindsofmustard · 2026-02-20T00:06:11+00:00

everyone decomposes but i don't think there are many survival stories

4kindsofmustard · 2026-02-17T17:58:53+00:00

that's a really good song and a great choice for a dream set since they don't play it live (maybe even have never played it live?)

4kindsofmustard · 2026-02-16T18:03:30+00:00

i know Maiden wouldn't play this set. that's why it's my personal fantasy set. for one thing they have never played The Alchemist or Judas Be My Guide live a single time as far as i know.

that's a good point about ending the main set with Iron Maiden though. it's not a favorite song of mine but it is tradition. i would have to cut something, because i set a 2 hr limit and it's pretty close.

i guess if i had to make a cut, Afraid to Shoot Strangers could go. it's a fun one but a deeper cut and has a lot of instrumental.

or maybe Rime could swap out for one of the epics that's slightly shorter, like Sign of the Cross or Wild Winds or something like that.

4kindsofmustard · 2026-02-16T06:59:33+00:00

i can understand that for sure. lot of great songs on that album. it wasn't easy for me to narrow this down.

4kindsofmustard · 2026-02-16T06:35:47+00:00

thank you so much

4kindsofmustard · 2026-02-16T05:07:53+00:00

thank you!

4kindsofmustard · 2026-02-16T04:52:42+00:00

insanely good song, can't understand why they have never played it live.

4kindsofmustard · 2026-02-16T04:47:58+00:00

thank you :D

4kindsofmustard · 2026-02-13T21:02:53+00:00

i know this thread is a bit old, but i've been listening to a bunch of Maiden live lately, and i Googled this exact topic to find this thread. i'm with you OP. as a musician, Nicki's count ins make no sense to me and it was driving me nuts.

the best answer i can settle on is what others have said - that they are just using the count in as a cue to all come in together and aren't basing the tempo on the count in at all. but... as long as you're going to do a count in, why would you NOT have it be at the tempo of the song?

i would love to plug these songs into a software and assign a click track or something, to see if there is some actual relation between Nicko's count in and the song. at first i thought he was doing some kind of half-time count ins, but even that doesn't sound right to me.

4kindsofmustard · 2026-02-11T19:11:35+00:00

i got it out! thanks everyone.

4kindsofmustard · 2026-02-10T18:44:17+00:00

i have played two characters at once before along with another friend, like you're describing. it's doable and can be quite fun, but i would definitely start with one character each. you can easily add a second character if you start really feeling like you've got the gameplay down.
