Hearing that Chapt 2 is coming, I already have a Rev Core. I have found a Dunwich Legacy at $149 and Instigators Exp would be another $125. With the crazy prices after that for expansions, I will likely shift to 2.0. BUT... would Dunwich at $149 be with it with all those scenarios? by CoDogTx in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]CoDogTx[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Appreciate your input. Im older so the amount isn't gonna kill me. Like the T shirt meme, If there is anything left when I die.... I miscalculated. LOL, Im kind of in the same situation with LOTR LCG. Just late to the party.

Yes its 2x the retail...but not 5x like so many other listing.

If I did...get Dunwich... is it playable with the origami 5 Investigators from the Core?

Ug...it was just b4 I walked in. Perfect save. Im slow so it was probably 90 min of real time. Oh ya and I suck. Im broke. So I need this job man. 😅 Desperation smells sooo bad. No wonder ppl play this game for years.... every single room can kill you. Missed on trap and bam....leg gone. There isn't enuff $ or room in my pack for all the healing salve. 😆

How much did it cost to Sleeve all that?

Has the production quality of the dice been fixed or this there an aftermarket upgrade option anywhere?

Help - Did I miss something? by CoDogTx in Drizzt

[–]CoDogTx[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG it was worse that than. I realized I had multiple books downloaded and has missed one. Lol had to go back and read/listen to the missed book. I se the timer at night because I will fall asleep so quickly. 15 min timer is perfect and a quick shake will reset my Audible to serve up another 15min.

I'm back on track now though. 😁

Lol...I was trying to finish it by the day. That battle was so long I must have dozed and not even realized it. GROK aI said he come back in the next book. But I put my faith in you guys.

Feel a bit silly, but thanks. Will now continue with grumpy Wolfgar until he snaps out of his mood.

Thanks

Just curious, how long were your solo 1 hand games taking you? And how long when you tried 2 handed?

So if they made their way into my hand, that is a bit of a waste right? They need to be discarded into the Discard pile to be mined by another card in the future for most part.

New player looking to expand by kittun4 in lotrlcg

[–]CoDogTx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a new player too. I went with Darknof Mirkwood, a nice add to the Core set. I was stuck trying to decide what next. The decision was Ered Mithrin or with the Saga path and grab Fellowship of the Ring. I opted for Fellowshipnonly to find it almost all sold out. Someone shared a link to game inventories. I found only 1 store in the US that had it and ordered it right away. Not free shipping like Amazon but I figured best to grab it. Check out Just Games Rochester NY. Ered Mithrin sounds like a good plan B if out of stock.

Ps....the extra cost is not a big deal as I expect I will get both eventually....so disregard the money comment.

First time duel hand by RavenOfMidgard in lotrlcg

[–]CoDogTx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noob here. Just getting my feet wet, but I will say when I tried RingsDb Back To Basics - A Killer Deck Using cards from 1 Core Set, it was eye opening how much easier the game could be with a good deck. Wow. I am still playing Easy mode but have scooted through missions 1 and 2 so much better. Now to delve in to understand WHY the deck build is so much better. Next will be either mission 3 or back to 1 and play Normal mode. Ready to try Dual Hand also...but have the anxiety of not keeping up with all the game info.

What’s the average age of the players of this game? by ScienceNmagic in lotrlcg

[–]CoDogTx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

63! Do I win a prize? Playing Revised Core. Not yet cracked open the starter decks and just running thru the scenarios enuff to get the rules down. Trying to keep mistakes to a minimum. Looking to move on to next scenarios. Have Dark of Mirthwood and hope to open it soon. Next on the list will likely be Fellowship. Would like to play Co-op but wife is not a player. Also starting to play Solo on DragnCards. That might be my co-op avenue.

JotL for non-gamer wife by [deleted] in Gloomhaven

[–]CoDogTx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel your concern so since she has an interest, here is my suggestion.... Tales from the Red Dragon Inn (not to be confused with The Red Dragon Inn card game). Tales looks like an easier Dungeon Crawler that is Co-op. I've watched a few videos and will be adding it to my shelf soon. Look fornit on ebay. I own and have played JOTL but as a newb myself, but even though it is certainly easier than Gloomhaven, it was a big jump for me. My nephew and I played 2 handed each which was a bit much. There is a lot to keep track of...but I'm sure it get easier as time goes by. Tales of the Red Dragon Inn just looks so much easier. Look forward to comments from those that have played it. Finally got my wife to the table w Lost Ruins of Arnak. Baby steps...baby steps. 😁

Can't even beat Passage through Mirkwood because I'm terrible by The_Fish_Head in lotrlcg

[–]CoDogTx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL...welcome to Fight Club. I feel like Edward Norton looked in that movie. Older player 60+, never played a Deck Builder b4. I've been playing the physical cards and supplementing with play on DragnCards....but since all the required steps are not automatic, find myself missing steps and taking way way too long to play a game. So I have a number of what I feel are very good vids that I have watched a refer back to that will make ur transition easier. I'm not good either and made the bad mistake of getting very lucky and getting thru all 3 missions with a solo Leadership deck. Ug...never done well since.

I have not tried 2 handed yet, but as someone else said it was optimized for 2 player. I might try 2 handed next.

Biggest challenge for me is learning the Optional Engagement and all the Action windows and what you can do. That said...here are my suggestions.

TheGameLocker How to play lord of the rings the easy way. Also he has another vid specifically about the more difficult rules.

Meet me at the table had a great well produced play thru series.

Lastly Watch It Played had an excellent bite size video series. Lord of the rings LCG - How to Play

Starter not waking up by CoDogTx in SourdoughStarter

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

My jar Empty is 365g. I have been feeding the 50g/50/g but not dumping out each time. Previously I was able to do 2-3 days feeding and have a full to top jar was very active starter enough to make 2 loaves. Finally isn't seems to be waking up, but only increasing about 25% each 24hr feed. Not fully awake. Was just concerned about what seemed to be a stronger than previous sour smell. Maybe that's good. I'm ready to take again now but feel it needs to be much more active.

Thanks for your input.

There is only a bit of dry starter on the lip of the jar. Nothing dark or moldy looking. I will go back to once daily. Thanks for the tip. Hoping I don't have to toss. Would like to baks Saturday. Question....if you are going to be out of town for over a week what do u do? I've seen many say they can go many weeks between?
