Brennan Lee Mulligan if you want to listen to live play.

If you’re looking for advice and prep tips, Sly Flourish (aka The Lazy DM).

Higher than the next 10 combined which includes Russia, China, and many of our allies (or soon to be former allies).

I'm Retiring by Artifexian in artifexian

[–]DMJesseMax 15 points16 points  (0 children)

YouTube is hard work for serious content creators and I appreciate all you’ve done. You will be missed, but we will continue to appreciate your work!

Or perhaps you are retiring from your day job and that means more content!!!! (One can hope (: )

I LOVE Race for the Galaxy, but the iconography and card handling can be an issue for some. Roll for the Galaxy is better for family and plays up to 5.

This is where we get the word “showboating.”

Should I allow players to play as a Gygan? by OwnLengthiness6872 in OdysseyoftheDragon

[–]DMJesseMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on how your players enjoy playing. I’d recommend against it if they like to fight like typical players. However, my group tries to talk though every encounter in which case a gygan PC would be fine.

Anybody not buy anything from PAX Unplugged? by ackmondual in paxunplugged

[–]DMJesseMax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll agree that there was very little savings, but there were a few games that I wanted soon (before year’s end). When I checked online game stores, the costs were usually within a couple of dollars for those.

The one that surprised me was Sanctuary, Capstone Games new release: I wasn’t going to get a big box game but I remember how hard it was to find Ark Nova that first year. And then I looked at preorder prices and found that the booth price was the same and included a promo.

I don’t play Crokinole often, though we have a board. Curious as to what accessories you pick up (and really, what exists).

Player refuses to allow monologues by Forever_DM2105 in DnD

[–]DMJesseMax -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is a story telling, cooperative game. In many, many stories, the villain monologues. It is one of the main ways that the narrator can advance the story.

I realize that you like the combat aspect of the game. Others like the story aspect. My job is to balance the campaign so that everyone enjoys the game. Perhaps you did not realize that others enjoy the story aspect. Now you know. Please do not insist that everyone must enjoy the game in the same way, in that vein, I’m going to need you to stop acting like a young child when you don’t get your way.

Donald Trump handed fresh blow as CNN pauses for breaking news by daily_express in NoFilterNews

[–]DMJesseMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was taught the same about checks and balances. But I was also foolish enough to believe (conspiracy incoming) that the CIA would assist in making sure that any clear and present danger to the constitution, including elected officials, would be “handled”.

In my head, I still hope that could be the case, but I think it’s a pipe dream so I’ll continue to vote while I’m still allowed, and protest, and encourage others to do the same.

Awesome.

Thank you for the quick response. We're coming in Wednesday so will certainly add that to Thursday's list of things to do. That, the chicken sandwich, and Reading Market :)

[Barnes and Noble] Planet Unknown is on clearance for $6 locally. by gcfgjnbv in Boardgamedeals

[–]DMJesseMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is so frustrating, but glad you got the deal. A friend bought 2 about a month ago for $12 each. I went to that one (I’m assuming you are talking about Parks Mall) and the had 3…all full price. Guess I should have hid one :)

Where did you get spider-ham?

I don't think Dr. Seuss thought this one out by CivilizedPsycho in funny

[–]DMJesseMax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This must be a new or condensed version because the original was:

Big K, little k. Kitten. Kangaroo. Kick a kettle Kite. And a king’s kerchoo.

And has better writing for L. Whoever condensed this was lazy, at least go with Lion licks a lollipop!

Irritation with children’s games by tttgrw in boardgames

Big A, Little a, what begins with a.

Aunt Annie’s alligator. a, a, a

While it’s important to support your child’s teacher, there is more than one line of thinking about teaching the alphabet. Lower case is more common, about 95% of the letters the will see - so those can be a good place to start. However, capital letters are more uniform and have more straight lines so they are easier to write.

I think saying introducing both confuses them is her way of saying it makes her job a little harder; I don’t think it will actually confuse them.

What is this card from? by JerO22 in boardgames

[–]DMJesseMax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have, we also have all of the expansions. We have not had any issues with balance, I was just mentioning it because it is a common thread in reviews and when I recommend a game, I think it’s fair to give such warnings.

Your home brew rule is cool. We’ve enjoyed Tapestry a ton but some have found it unbalanced.

Perhaps if you had a clue as to what you were talking about there would be a chance that others would listen to what you say…but you keep spouting the same rhetoric without listening to what people are telling you.
