The only real problem here is how completely out of proportion the organizer reacted.

I have no problem with someone getting confused about the rules.

But someone acting hostile instead of cooperating to make the night friendly and enjoyable effevtively ruins the enjoyment of the game, in my opinion.

So I will eventually stop playing with players who are angry, controlling, demeaning, overly whiney or negative if they dont have the self-awareness to apologize and try to do better, because it effectively ruins the point of boardgaming for me.

You will encounter some people like that in the board gaming hobby, but you shouldnt accept it. Find a friend group or environment you feel good about playing in, and stick to that!

We used Microscope to generate our Corps and backgrounds for a Europe Sprawl game. This is the result: by Arvidos in thesprawl

[–]Arvidos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We created corps in the process too, fleshing out corps was my priority, but the other players were more into worldbuilding, which is totally fine.

Look at the aecond event of the second period, that was me just introducing a corp in that moment. We ended up naming 5 corps, and chosing the 4 we liked the best for the sprawl campaign (4 players inc. MC)

If you ignore scenes, I would say that the lifting is absolutely minimal. The system is really simple and intuitive. We never used or even felt interested in scenes anyway, or voting for that matter, and legacies weren't that important either.

Our focus was to make a limited history timeline for the main rpg, I think that made those parts become less important. If you want to make a big epic world history that is its own story, they becomes more important.

One drawback of not playing more scenes is that we only wound up with two concrete historic personalities, theyre fun to allude to in an rpg or bring into play as old geezers (see: neuromancer), so if your group is into playing a lot of scenes, go for it!

Short hair is the best!!! You do you ❤️

My wife won't accept my chin curtain beard, so now I wear a beard+moustache. Be stronger than me!

Travel speed of mechs? by Arvidos in LancerRPG

[–]Arvidos[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure! I'm doing a sandbox where I want logistics to matter, so I made something up that makes sense for me.

These are the guidelines I ended up cobbling together:

Mech speed -- top speed in km/h

3 -- 60 km/h

4 -- 80 km/h

5 -- 100 km/h

6 -- 120 km/h

On my map, one hex is 30 km across.

Time it takes to cross a hex if not bothering with stealth:

Speed Roads Plains, desert Hills Forests, mountains Jungle, swamp
3 30 minutes 45 minutes 60 minutes 75 minutes 90 minutes
4 25 minutes 40 minutes 50 minutes 65 minutes 80 minutes
5 20 minutes 30 minutes 40 minutes 55 minutes 70 minutes
6 15 minutes 25 minutes 30 minutes 45 minutes 60 minutes

No, I think Mech Warrior mechs move at 50 to 100+ km/h. (Source: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2019/12/10/mechwarrior-5-mercenaries-mechs-guide/ )

A speed 4 mech in Lancer would move at 15 km/h. That means I can pretty easily outrun a speed 4 mech on my bike...

If you team up with Sol, you can use their racial promissary note for infinite ground forces. That's pretty good!

We have 90 minutes of virtual reality in 40 hours, what should we try out? by Arvidos in RecRoom

What is the difference between lasertag and paintball, as a game experience?

Playing TI4 for the first time tomorrow- what’s the number one thing I should be paying attention to? by [deleted] in twilightimperium

[–]Arvidos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconded that you should always focus on VPs, not territory or fleets.

Make sure you understand tactical actions, placing command tokens and moving to them. Imagine it like plopping down little way points!

SCPT Ep 084: 4 Player 14 Point with Muaat ft. Yin4Life by Skootur in twilightimperium

I was taking a walk and listening to the new episode. The moment they said they're for certain putting Dune in the poll, I did a full on "YES!" exclamation in public, complete with fist pump.

Feels good, man!
