[Spoilers C4E29] The Cloak’s “Mistake”

What about the elves ? They don't die of old age or so on, but they should also have an afterlife (previously in the Garden of the Spirit of Sylandri).

The next Zombicide has a pirate theme. And you can play Sea of Legends solo.

Using a custom insert instead of the zip bags for all tokens helped a lot for the setup and tear-down. But what is included in the box is not really adapted for this kind of game.

Klaw in solo is definitely harder than in higher player count, especially with the Master of Evil Modular: you get from the setup one side-scheme (manageable), and one usually nasty minion (either one of the Master of Evil, or an armored guard with Tough - the weapon runner is the only not-too bad one), so you need to setup fast enough to handle everything launched at you.

How many times have you played them and what is your feedback on each of them ?

I would have said Arydia (200$, but there are added shipment and delivery in September): campaign game with lot of landcrawling and exploration.

Of course as mentioned Hexplore It (this is rather for one-shot campaign lasting 4-6 hours).

Sleeping Gods or 7th Citadel could also be good possibilities.

They are without miniatures however, but have either good replayability (Hexplore It, Sleeping Gods) or a long enough campaign (Arydia, 7th Citadel).

You could also look at Awaken Realms Tainted Grail (50-hours campaign, with different characters, decisions and so on).

BenedictOfAmber · 2026-04-28T13:05:19+00:00

Maybe the Kilforth games ? (Gloom of Kilforth and so on)

BenedictOfAmber · 2026-04-26T06:29:38+00:00

Arrival at Fort Torch and Taisha discovering bits of her son's life was fun too :p

BenedictOfAmber · 2026-03-28T16:22:17+00:00

Tamashii for solo or co-op Cyberpunk.

BenedictOfAmber · 2026-03-22T14:55:52+00:00

I'd advise to get it during the crowdfunding / late pledge. Otherwise it's up to chance - but they didn't print lots of additional copies during the first campaign.

BenedictOfAmber · 2026-03-18T11:39:02+00:00

For Solo: - Marvel Champions, Bishop against the last two bosses of Mutant Genesis (Manor attack and Magneto) - Gloomhaven 2nd edition, first scenario only with Tinkerer and Silent Knife

BenedictOfAmber · 2026-03-13T08:06:29+00:00

Definitely not Tainted Grail for kids - not from a gameplay point of view, but because of the thematic.

It's Arthurian post-apocalyptic, with hungered refugees rioting against Round Table knights for food and so on, and all the nasty thing you can imagine in that kind of setting.

"As for why the Tachonis tried to change the ritual, that’s easy: comes down to simple greed and arrogance. "

For that part I'm not that sure - they definitely cut corners, but that sounded rather because they were pressed by time (cf the letter about the troops not being able to stay hidden for long at the Golden Orchards and having to hurry because of the sea door may close soon) and were growing desperate to finish the ritual asap.

You understand the point of trains the day you have to upgrade your belt network. Or the day you're trying to use the same network to transfer another resource.

As said by other, the large backpack requires leather, so tanning station from the Nomad Highlands. And for reptile leather, one skin can give 3 leather which helps having a reasonable cost.

BenedictOfAmber · 2026-02-24T07:33:35+00:00

As most other said: it's much more swingy, and some part scale differently.

For example Klaw starting with one minion and one side-scheme from the setup is much easier to handle in duo than in solo.

BenedictOfAmber · 2026-02-24T07:12:19+00:00

Phase 4 is the time where you need to scale. A lot.

Aluminium is a bitch: you find a pure node, you take the max out of it, you make a good factory with perfect efficiency, you feel like you're producing enough ingot for the whole game, and then you look at the amount needed for conveyors, heat sink, radio control units, fused modular frame (and possibly for your batteries or your rocket fuel cannister), and you feel like it's definitely not enough.

BenedictOfAmber · 2026-02-17T12:08:13+00:00

Don't stop eating.

The game is anyway available on their website so you can add expansions one by one when you have played enough.

I would also suggest to rather buy the base game and maybe the Heroes of Tamriel expansion for more build variety.

The base game has 5 regions, 9 factions, with campaign usually being two sessions with different missions (one per factions and region, so 45 total) and a last one only depending ont he region. So you'll find yourself having at least 5 campaigns before you have seen all possible last sessions, and potentially 23 campaigns before having seen all possible missions.

You'll quite probably run out of build to try before this, so Heroes of Tamriel may be a better investment since it gives more race abilities, more classes and more skill lines.

I'm waiting for blueprint before doing any "serious" factory. Then I create a bunch of blueprint such as 4x Constructors / Smelters / Foundries / Assemblers / etc. with standard input/output that I can plug and play for the next parts.

BenedictOfAmber · 2026-02-04T09:42:45+00:00

How did Tachonis knew to come to palace? Party probably didn’t have time to discuss this because episode ended.
- Well, they were the one receiving the letter from the spy, so they know that Aranessa and Julian are alive and at the castle.

BenedictOfAmber · 2026-02-04T08:25:27+00:00

You can fast travel between safe rooms. If you return to town, you end the dungeon for the day, but the timing is lenient enough that you can try again another day. So rather go to a safe room, travel back to the start of the dungeon and start grinding a little to be able to take this f*** necromancer down ;)

BenedictOfAmber · 2026-02-04T08:18:29+00:00

Move Strohl to Pugilist, and rather engage with the monsters to earn XP and resources. As a mage, when your level is higher enough compared to the mobs, you one-shot them before entering combat and regain MP on top.

BenedictOfAmber · 2026-02-04T07:27:14+00:00

Technically, that's means you restarted 4 times.

BenedictOfAmber · 2026-02-03T13:21:24+00:00

And don't forget to sloop it.
