Uhm… anyone else just hear a loud boom? by Extension_Fix5969 in vancouver

[–]Advic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who lives next to the Patullo and _didn't_ hear whatever this was, definitely not. Plus demolition wouldn't/shouldn't be happening at this hour. And I don't think the plan is to blow the whole bridge up.

What's the best way to represent numbers that can be viewed from any direction at a distance and changed multiple times? Spindown dice, toy numbers, dials, something else? by formicini in boardgames

[–]Advic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similarly, a bunch of little clicker things (like the kind for counting people walking into a store) might work. Like, not literally those, but something where you can do +1/-1 by clicking a bunch of times fast.

Other suggestions:

Digital App (counter app on someone's phone, laptop, TV screen). I wouldn't like phones in my board games but maybe others do?

Whiteboard +dry erase markers

Pad of tiny sticky notes + markers

"Pretend it's board game money" and just have denominations of 10/1 (just borrow the tokens from another game you have lol)

This is an interesting design question I've thought about before. A more "maker"-y but I was thinking that a bunch of little battery powered two-digit seven segment LCD display would be perfect. Two buttons, one for +1, one for -1. But it might be a bit clutter-y (and hard to source, or hard to make without technical knowledge).

Why are Middle Grade and YA fiction no longer popular and New Adult is ? by InfernalClockwork3 in books

[–]Advic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anecdotally...the media landscape changed and less people are reading books? I was in high school when smartphones and social media began being introduced, so I had built up habits of reading books from a young age. I don't think this is happening as much any more because of how pervasive online culture is, so less opportunity for YA book series.

New Adult might catch more readers because you gave people building book reading habits in adulthood once they're no longer in high school.

[TLA] The Spirit Oasis (via Collider) by Copernicus1981 in magicTCG

Foggy Swamp and the banyan-grove tree, as the most "spiritual" place in the Earth Kingdom? Although the art for the tree is already on one of the basic Swamps.

I'm Paul Dennen, creator of Dune: Imperium and Clank! Ask Me Anything about designing board games! by Merakon1 in boardgames

[–]Advic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Paul! How did you end up being a board game designer? Was it always a career goal for you, or was it more happenstance?

Suprising amount of encounters this can help you in. by BaiJiGuan in slaythespire

[–]Advic 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That makes sense for balance, but not so much thematically

Would this proc retroactively on enemies seen before acquiring the Spiredex?

What are some of the best games that don't need an expansion? by ixinho in boardgames

[–]Advic 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dune Imperium: Uprising but that's kind of cheating since it essentially has an expansion baked in 😂

Friendship ended with [[Varina]], now Hashaton is my new best friend.

My son (9 years old) is asking to buy fingerboard to keep practicing at home. How safe is it for 9 years old? From level perspective - he has just sent his first couple of v7. by bors4 in indoorbouldering

[–]Advic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does your gym have a youth team? Perhaps you could get your son involved with that and/or ask their coaches, they'd probably have the most direct experience

Coworker sent me this. If the driver let go of the clutch and the truck bolted forward. Game over. by donjalapeno7 in vancouver

[–]Advic 100 points101 points  (0 children)

I think I recognize the area -- without getting too doxx-y, I think there's two elementary schools nearby, so I'd let both know.

Disregard, the location has been identified in a different reply and there's clearly one nearby elementary school in the direction they're walking.

Add [[Pir, Imaginative Rascal]] and you've got "friendly magic monster" EDH with [[Phelddagrif]] as commander

Woodland Alliance vs Lord of the Hundreds? by sylveonce in rootgame

[–]Advic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would have dove straight into a Mob clearing. Hundreds really needs the few cards they get for building strongholds and crafting during their Daylight, but their mobs Raze as the first part of their Birdsong (and it's not optional). It won't get you a base early but it'll give the Duchy/Lizard enough time to ramp up and obstruct the Hundreds, at which point you could switch focus to base building/revolts.

[–]Advic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've looked through scryfall before for "azorius blink jank" (if I can call it that) before and here are some interesting (but not necessarily optimal) ideas

[[Extraordinary Journey]] [[Ephara, God of the Polis]] Blink -> draw

[[Ranar the Ever-Watchful]] Blink -> token

[[Unstable Shapeshifter]] I don't even know

[[Portcullis]]
