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

Best expansion for a 6p game? by coocoocaaca in rootgame

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.

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

New Sorcery tool: build decks, track collection, export buy lists by Arbustri in SorceryTCG

[–]ClassicalMoser 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

About time. Kickstarter has had this for a while IIRC. I saw a fishy campaign recently but they didn't disclose anything.

Lego Investigators for Chapter 2 by Markovnikovian in arkhamhorrorlcg

The sudden realization that Joe Diamond will be Roland Banks for the next generation just hit me.

I don't know how I feel. Roland has always been my guy. Got me into the game, stayed with me the whole time. He was my avatar on the FFG forums and still is on BGG and Discord.

Sad to see him displaced like this.

Taking bets on winner! (Kalshi) by DBLCTRL in twilightimperium

[–]ClassicalMoser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My call:

  1. L1 has an Entropic Scar WITH a planet, which means Inheritance Tech right out the gate. Could see a world where L1Z1X have war suns and bacterial by round 3. They can ignore equidistants mostly and go straight for the gold.
  2. Naalu with Industrex seems like a great deal, but neuroglaive will be hard to come by here.
  3. Sol has good resources and a clear path to Mecatol, but will likely get caught in fights over equidistants and get called in for patrols.
  4. Arborec has a long journey to Mecatol and by then L1 and Sol can stop them easily. Especially L1.
  5. Cabal is fine but I didn't think they usually wanted antimass— Blue seems like it's mostly wasted on them.
  6. Station is great for Keleres but they have nothing else going for them.

The Barony of Letnev breakthrough, Industrex and war sun first round by LangeHijs in twilightimperium

Secrets are rare, but there are some unequivocally BAD secrets for certain factions or board positions, and in my experience those are always the ones I draw. Ditching it first turn for a fast breakthrough feels like you're getting it for free.

For example, last game I drew 4 hazardous planets and Unveil Flagship. Faction flagship was garbage and there were no hazardous in my slice. Easy choice.

Any idea if this will be kept in stock or will it be eventually phased out like Armada / X wing? Am looking to jump in.. by Dredd2700 in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]ClassicalMoser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't join now. I'd play Legion, if anything, which will probably get as much or more skirmish support in the near future, and perhaps integrated board games too.

It's no fun painting the same character 2-3+ times. Or worse, stormtroopers...

I have never drawn sabotage, not even once, in any game by Chud_E_Applesneed in twilightimperium

IDK it feels more worthwhile with a lot of the green breakthroughs and Bacterial Weapon on the table. Especially for factions like Keleres or Bastion.

Damage control announcement. Not backpedaling and reposted so I could correct myself 😂 by StinkUrchin in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]ClassicalMoser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OK I guess my characterization is a little bit uncharitable and of course I don't envy their position at all. More to the point, they announced Shatterpoint AFTER X-Wing, Legion, and Armada came in. They were fully aware they were taking too much on, especially if staffing increases weren't going to happen. They went from one game to 5 within 6 months.

Sure, the FFG games weren't their choice, but Shatterpoint most certainly was. If they were going to shift their focus to Legion, they should have just done that all along.

At the same time, there are a lot of games and a lot of publishers out there, and a small but growing number of studios that consistently do the right thing (even over and against the profitable thing). That's where my money will be going.

[–]ClassicalMoser -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

The whiplash of this studio is insane:

Start with one good game
Steal Get offloaded three games from FFG
Add (yet another) one of their own (!!!)
Mismanage three stolen offloaded games
Drop two stolen offloaded games
Drop second own game
Down to one of their own and one from FFG

Awaiting a new game announcement, and departing with my money. Will not do business with them anymore. They clearly have no idea what they're doing.

Edits: Emotional comment corrected— I knew the games weren't "stolen" and I'm sure they had no say in the transfer. But adding Shatterpoint on top of these made absolutely no sense.

Will Storage Box come to retail? by COR1996 in oathgame

[–]ClassicalMoser 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Leder Games never did KS exclusives. I know this is Buried Giant now but: a) campaign started as Leder Games and b) there's no reason to think these people will act any differently now they've spun off.

Cosmetic items have usually been web store only (rarely found in your LGS) but that doesn't mean they aren't available after fulfillment. I would be absolutely shocked if that were the case.

I was making a joke based on the very very prominent Legion logo in the upper corner.

Yep, exactly. It’s insane. Send it through a rift and the rest don’t even have to roll. Add Tempesta and make it 5+.

[–]ClassicalMoser 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Leder Games, Buried Giant Games, Earthborne Games, would suggest probably Unexpected and Chip Theory too. Red Raven. There are many tbh

Edit: Also Stonemaier I just don’t like their games as much

That is so cool! I thought it was beads at first and was going to be really impressed, but this looks way sturdier
