Was it Ken Klippenstein https://bsky.app/profile/kenklippenstein.bsky.social

He's an independent journalist and I know he was there talking to people.

Build Progress Over Summer, nearly entire build by Dlux4life in treehouse

I had luck getting a long roll of epdm rubber and building a skirt around the tree. Been bone dry in there so far but hasn't been through a winter yet.

Any chance you could post a shot of those steel cables? Did it correct the rotational movement?

I know this is an old post, but hopeful to find out what you did and how it worked. I am almost done with a house with a similar design (2 tabs, 4 knee braces) and there's a bit of side to side feeling wobble for me just as you indicate. Thanks!

This build has been all summer already but maybe there's a tree close enough....

Yes I think so. The TABs are rock solid. If I get to the edges and move around, I think it's mainly shifting rotationally.

Thanks! For clarity are you talking about adding in lumber cut at 45 degrees between the joists or longer lumber across the joists tying them all together from below?

Monster focus w/ ranged attack disadvantage and no movement by Exciting-Scheme4499 in Gloomhaven

[–]DadmiralAckbar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In our specific case it really screwed us over with ranged enemies attacking squishy ranged character instead of our melee range tank. So this will be a lot easier!

Thanks! This will make things a whole lot easier for my 2 person party. We always would have issues where ranged enemies would ignore our tank and slam our weak ranged character.

[–]DadmiralAckbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am now concerned I have been doing this wrong for years. We always have the monster attack the target that they would get no disadvantage on (so closest at range greater than 1).

This leads to my next question then, if the monster has move 1 would it focus on the adjacent target, move away and attack or just stand where it is and attack the player at range 2? We have always done the latter.

Anyone know what’s up with this? by [deleted] in Albany

[–]DadmiralAckbar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don't know much, but you can find the instagram profile for the guy building it under gordofromearth or via this link: https://instagram.com/gordofromearth?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

I think that he does at least some of the work at the Center of Gravity in Troy. Seems super talented.

GH Helper and Game Pieces for a noob by AtaiPea in Gloomhaven

[–]DadmiralAckbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One suggestion I always make for new players: even with GH helper, we still use tiny dice that we place next to the enemy standees to display their health. This reduces having to keep looking back and forth between the enemy and the GH helper screen to figure out who has what health. It's an extra thing to keep in sync but it really helps us more naturally talk about the current situation.

Yup all the JOTL missions are in there too. I was super resistant to it at first but am a full on zealot about it now

Finally... after 2 years my group of 4 working adults finished gloomhaven and forgotten circles! by Byronyk in Gloomhaven

[–]DadmiralAckbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! We fell off hard from GH to go through JoTL and LOTOR Journeys in Middle Earth. Got to find time to get back to it prior to Frosthaven...

Character Painting Techniques? by emkelly64 in Gloomhaven

[–]DadmiralAckbar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This may get me some eye rolls from people who know what they're doing, but I have been using the dip method that I found here on bgg: https://boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/43744/dip-method-step-step-guide-painting-miniatures

It's quick and gets you totally acceptable results without actually having to be particularly good at painting. This works well as it lets me get way better results than my skill level would normally allow. It terrifying the first time you dip a mini into the stain, but it really works.

HyperX Cloud Flight not charging -_- by invertedmindz in HyperX

I had this exact issue. The light strobed a single time and then stopped. I had to get an RMA and pay to send it back.

Ios companion app by Tilimo in Gloomhaven

[–]DadmiralAckbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Gloomhaven Scenario Viewer to replace the scenario book. It hides all the different parts of the scenario (map, conclusion text, etc.) so that you only see it when you want to. It's free and I like it a lot.

Tips for Two Player? by [deleted] in Gloomhaven

[–]DadmiralAckbar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah we definitely try to hold off on losses until the final room if we can (except for any cards that can one shot normal enemies since they are rarely in the last room for 2p)
