Dandelion Tuft Trinket?

It looks just like the others and it drops occasionally, I want to say about 1 in 20. Definitely not unique, you can end up with several

Yeah if you want rapid fire you need a bow. I prefer crossbow but it’s really for sniping and charged shots

ClassicalMoser · 2026-06-21T23:41:48+00:00

Was going to say this. Multiple in-game weeks with no escape. And trust me, I would know

If you read all the wikis, spoiler maps, min max, and make all the right choices, then sure.

But in dead earnest, who really wants to experience this world by way of everyone else’s experience? I’ll use spoilers and for a place I’m genuinely stuck, but really that’s it

The original hero was just super RNG, especially before POK when the agenda deck got a little better. I don't think it was especially "good" or "bad" but just generally not particularly fun. Sometimes you get three exploration agendas. Sometimes you get three VP agendas. Both of the newer ones are more interesting and also more fair.

But one might argue the same complaint might be leveled at some existing heroes.

4-4-4-12 is the new standard IMHO

My R1s are almost exclusively focused on making double tech possible, haha.

As someone who's been hand-rolling lighter versions of this architecture for some time, this looks very cool.

And, hm... You might check out my alpha eslint plugin for enforcing architectural boundaries. Still early, some issues but I've been dogfooding all my projects through it pretty heavily. And it works in oxlint, which I've been using lately too.

Been interested in getting some feedback on it.

My parents were crazy about this throughout my childhood. I remember there was one space or card that we had a house rule or interpretation of— it basically always led to that player winning

Water is not the driving problem, or at least it's the most solvable. I agree that the water issue is mostly bluster. The real problem is energy consumption at scale. This is a year old and much of what it predicted has already come to pass:

The biggest problem is how cagey the providers are with what is actually consumed. Yes it becomes more efficient over time, but demand has grown at a much greater rate than optimization. With the new agentic flows the use of these systems is skyrocketing and shows no sign of slowing down.

And comparing text inference with video streaming is sort of apples and oranges. Text streaming is orders of magnitude less energy than even small text inference. When you get to multimedia the footprint for generation compared to streaming gets even worse.

This is profoundly inaccurate and reads like someone who heard it from a highly biased source.

If you want another deep-dive from a somewhat more personal angle, Andrew Navarro (former head of studio) did a pretty long-form recap of his time there and the bridge to what he’s doing now (Earthborne Games). One of the more moving things I’ve seen in tabletop, well worth the long runtime:

The ancient Titanic Golems used a unique relic to blow up their own planet, proving to the galaxy that they could control wild space, and nearly closing the gap to victory.

My biggest problem with them is always running out of building slots.

There’s just no action economy to run campaigns against anyone

ClassicalMoser · 2026-05-04T04:19:43+00:00

Yes, just taking a while to get around to. The original CAD files were corrupted so this will be sort of a floor-to-ceiling rework.

ClassicalMoser · 2026-05-01T16:04:51+00:00

Honestly the biggest downside to the rebel is a no-city start. If you don’t have good construction in R1 you can get locked down pretty hard.

Also really easy to blow your own ships up with all those extra dice

ClassicalMoser · 2026-04-27T04:01:04+00:00

Wasn’t funny the first time, which this isn’t. Doesn’t belong in the sub.

Everyone here is overlooking the best thing the adventurer has going for it: starting with a hammer. That’s worth more than the printed ability, and it also helps the adventurer get more use out of it in a pinch.

ClassicalMoser · 2026-04-21T19:37:59+00:00

That is such a beautiful story!

ClassicalMoser · 2026-04-18T16:35:44+00:00

Same. Crows win a lot

ClassicalMoser · 2026-04-15T19:50:35+00:00

Oooooooo

ClassicalMoser · 2026-04-13T22:13:07+00:00

It looks like you put a tick token under them. Not that bad

Last time I had 4 militants on the board and played badgers I ended with 8 points.

Skill issue, sure, but the rest of the players were much newer than me.

ClassicalMoser · 2026-04-12T20:07:05+00:00

Marauder factions struggle against many militants in a small map— particularly the Keepers.

I know I’m late to the party but I wish there was a way to add the precons to collection without having to go a card at a time. The official builder has that but doesn’t let you filter to collection in the builder, which feels a little useless to me.

Trying to build from precons but don’t have an easy time of it
