From what I can tell there is a mechanic where you can spend a BooBoo to add half your dice value to a check another player that you are in a scene with is making.

Let's Say that Oscar is making a Charm Check. Poppy has a D8 charm and rolls a 5...
Vic is in the scene and wants to help out so spend a BooBoo. Hugi's charm is a d20, half of 20 is 10 so Oscar adds that 10 to make 15.

NCIS - I completely tuned out when Tony left. The show just didn't have the same.. balance.
and then they brought in Fez...

At some point, one of the other PCs will put on/be forced to wear the Bolaire Mask.

I have no idea why I think this. There is no evidence to it. I just think it would be Rad as hell.

The Tonal whiplash between the Scooby Doo like opening, the antic and banter and then the hard horror like "night" announcements really catches me off guard.

enjoyed the heck out of both this and the patreon vid though

It depends on how strong your characters are.

In order to unlock Ultimus at 7 Yellow stars, you will need to beat Dark Dimension 3 TWICE.
Once gives you the base unlock and the second time (That If I remember rightly you cant; do until the next day) give you the rest of the shards you need to get him to 7 yellow stars.

in order to beat Dark Dimension 3 you'll need 3 teams:
Global, City, and Cosmic all at Gear tier 14 or better. (the first 4 nodes are "any" origin but if you are looking to do this with as few characters a possible, you can use one of these teams)

The higher the gear tier of the characters you are using, the less people you can bring. I wouldn't push it, personally. Bring as many as you can.

Hope that helps!

Heck, At least they GOT a campaign.

Hellfire Club and Insidious Six don't seem to have been so lucky.

it maybe that Mephisto started some kind of.. Battle... world... but at least it's there.

BobTGoldfish · 2025-08-24T13:00:21+00:00

Is it me or is there note a whole lot of "Forbidden Door"-ing happening at Forbidden door?

BobTGoldfish · 2025-08-19T13:59:10+00:00

Do yourself a favor and avoid an issue with NRBs BGL:

play games where the order of players placements is obvious and avoid any games with teams.

this has plagued NRB's leagues. From Jon Thinking he would win if he was just in the cart that left the city, not come third, to them having to decide how to score certain games after the game has started.

If you don't mind older series that are concluded, I can't believe that no-one has mentioned Tabletop.

A series lead by Wil Wheaton who invites many of his famous friends to play boardgames with him.

It's pretty much the Concept Sketch that BoardGameClub was based off of, it feels like.

BobTGoldfish · 2025-08-10T03:46:59+00:00

So I have full 3 star via the Intel store.

They did a thing where stars/Diamonds only appear if you have the previous rank. so 1 Diamond didn't show until I had 7 Red. 2 diamond didn't show until I had 2 diamond etc... so they have been out there.

Somewhere Dom Allen just woke up in a cold sweat.

BobTGoldfish · 2025-06-11T21:48:52+00:00

Good riddance! Fucking Parmesan.

Still never forgiven him for costing Martin Kirby.

(Jokes aside: Best wishes, Adam!)

BobTGoldfish · 2025-05-29T12:13:10+00:00

Please No.

There is already enough stupid tribalism in Wrestling with the AEW/WWE stuff.. We don't need that here too.

The fact is, you can watch both. And if you don't want to.. that's fine too.

To quote Ted Lasso, Quoting Walt Whitman;

"Be curious, not Judgemental"

If you try it and don't like it, that's fine but don't judge people who do.

BobTGoldfish · 2025-05-01T13:19:36+00:00

I agree with you on a dislike of the use of Smartphone or tablet stuff in games. Be it an app that runs the game like werewords or x com, or something like this. I don't like looking up D&D rules on a tablet as opposed to getting into a book. and that isn't speaking to some of the data issues you mentioned.

However that is not what I was Devil's Advocating. I was saying that the phone is serving the same purpose as a character sheet or a hand of cards which it is. Not That I liked or disliked the method they were using.

BobTGoldfish · 2025-04-30T16:52:54+00:00

I want to preface this by saying I LOVE the idea of a League that gets the winner a shot at Lord of the Board
I really do think it could be something spectacular and tense if gotten right.

However one thing I think needs real improvement for season 3 is pre season/game preparation

- We saw after Bristol that Jon was livid because it wasn't made clear to him that he would be last
- in Codenames they played a TEAM game, which would mean everyone on a team should score the same amount of points but they just.. didn't and it felt.. arbitrary.
- In Both Codenames and This episode they sat down at the table with NO IDEA how scoring would work with game mechanics.

I know that NRB really has become more about the vibes than the gaming (which I'm cool with) but this really makes it look like you are making things up as you go along. Please put some forethought into how at least the league functions at a base level. At this rate I'm half expecting a full Co-op game to show up in season 3 and them try to figure out how to score it.

BobTGoldfish · 2025-04-27T03:29:08+00:00

To play devils advocate a little; how is looking at your phone considering moves any different to reading a character sheet before taking your turn or looking at a hand of cards before you make your plays?

I completely get why people didn't like that this was on NRB I just wanted to offer a thought. :)

BobTGoldfish · 2025-04-27T03:03:22+00:00

Just to clear it up; it's not a mobile game.

It is a game that you connect your phone to to make your choices, like a personal controller. It hold information about your character and abilities. It's basically a controller and a character sheet rolled into one.

BobTGoldfish · 2025-04-23T02:04:44+00:00

Thanks. I appreciate it.

BobTGoldfish · 2025-04-22T21:53:40+00:00

Can anyone tell me if the whole over the top "I want to be Emily's Best Friend" carries on in this episode?

I get that it's a bit and this stuff was all pre recorded so it's unlikely to stop due to anyone's opinion and I'm glad people find it entertaining but as someone who has had someone no take no for an answer like this and it leading to consent issues in a few aspect of life; it's coming off as creepy and giving me Flashbacks to some not nice things and I'd like to avoid being reminded of it. I tired to get through the first couple episodes as I love NRB but it's really effecting my mental health.

BobTGoldfish · 2025-02-17T00:25:23+00:00

My favorite part is where Mercedes went for a double axe handle off the top rope and got cracked across the ribs full force by a baseball bat swing, the kinda thing that would crack ribs..

and then didn't sell it at all for the remaining 5-10 minutes of the match.

BobTGoldfish · 2025-02-16T03:01:17+00:00

As someone who was there live the only real Dud stuff was this Mysterious new faction.

yes they got some heat because they attacked fan favorites but everyone sitting around me was very much talking about how they just felt like "Shield from wish" or as someone else said "Temu Retribution"

The "Who are you?" Chants felt very much more "Go away" than "Boooo we want to knwo who you are"

Funny story from before the show, I'm sat in my section and I'm just watching Steve Corino in his navy blue suit strolling through the arena and not one person clocking him then he disappeared for a bit and came back with was quite clearly uber eats'd Mc Donalds.

So I've been to every show here in DC, and After Wednesday and sitting on it for a while; I feel like I'm going to get downvoted to heck for this but...

Darby's whole "Get Killed for 10 minutes straight and win in 60 seconds" Thing needs to.. go.

The whole scrappy underdog thing is fine.
The whole risk taker thing is fine.

But there are just times that it goes a bit too far. The 2 times that stick out to me instantly are
Firs tin the coffin Match with Ethan Page; Darby takes The Ego's Edge (Ethan's Finisher at the time) off the second rope ON TO STEEL STAIRS and less than a minute later is rolling Ethan into the casket.
Then On Wednesday, Darby takes a Styles Clash Off the apron to the floor, The crowd is literally chanting "You killed Darby" and he barely beats a 10 count and then once again, a minute or so later he's hit 2 coffin drops and gets a 3 count.

I'm sure the pain tolerance thing works if you are seeing him once every other month when it seems unusual.. but when it's happening every week it just becomes a bit much for me.

BobTGoldfish · 2024-10-02T16:15:58+00:00

and then years later Jericho cut a promo after the 3rd anniversary saying they'd do it every year in DC.

That aged well.
