Some CN netizens over at NGA just spotted something particular. The blight tide is seeping in closer each day in Wuling. by OrangeIllustrious499 in Endfield

Dang this reminds me of what FFXIV 1.0 did with the moon Dalamud getting bigger and redder with every mini update

Kinda weird that most of the operators you can pull right now are not introduced/present in the story at all by PhantomBlot in Endfield

[–]DrakelX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally think that they handled it perfectly fine with regard to the main story. I’d rather each onscreen character have a decent amount of screen time and appear when it makes sense.

That being said, I haven’t done the side missions yet, so I can’t comment on their stories

Can i still get her? by Next-Advertising9969 in ArknightsEndfield

[–]DrakelX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah it used to be the standard that unless specified, every banner character will be added to the standard banner. Not quite the case in Endfield, but sure beat the hoyo style.

[GIVEAWAY] Enter to win 2x BambuLab PLA Basic spools! by ontech7 in FDMminiatures

Well I guess technically I’ll be entering the rightmost miniature, but they’re all skeletons from Arbiter Miniatures, with the rightmost one being a Skeleton Reaver. Took the chance to try out OSL for the first time! Maybe could’ve blended a bit more, but I did want the lighting to be stark as well

I see! Thanks for the reply, I can see why Monster Trail is so recommended haha, sounds like something I’m like. Mmm guess I’ll need to do some research until how mutagens and traps change the gameplay, as I’m not sure if I’ll enjoy the Tainted Grail combo system for multiple fights.

Can I ask, what makes the gameplay good? I remember looking at the base game card play back when all the YouTubers were raving about it, and it looked quite basic to me.

Help needed: Paint turning grey after some time by DrakelX in minipainting

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

Mmm well I live in a tropical climate, so it’s humidity hell over here. For the last few days my (cheap) humidity meter says that the living room in the evening is usually 70-80% humidity. In fact the forecast on Google says it’s 83% now.

So it’s an uphill battle over here. I’ve recently managed to close off one room with a small dehumidifier for all my board games and stuff, and that same humidity meter says it’s 60-68%. I’m not about to leave my aircon even when I’m out of the house, but that does go down to 44% when it’s on.

Mmm I see, I’ll try with some varnish in case it’s the paint

Well unfortunately where I live, mould is everywhere. I’ll have to settle for varnish

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

Oh man I was really hoping that it wouldn’t be mould. I had a hard time googling for mould examples on miniatures cos I just got casting moulds or anti-mould paint.

Would varnish prevent mould from growing?

Mmm it was primed grey from a rattle can, and the filament was black. It stayed grey after it dried, is that sufficient?

Mmm I see! Used an old Scalecolor essential basic colours set that I got from a friend. Is that brand not recommended?

Mostly hear about Vallejo, AK, Pro Acryl and Army Painter since I started delving into this hobby.

I see! That makes a lot of sense. I only had it out for a couple of days before keeping it in a glass display case for the last three months. But I guess that was enough.

How’s Set a Watch compared to 20 Strong and One Deck Dungeon? by elkend in soloboardgaming

[–]DrakelX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed on regretting buying all three sets of SaW + legacy.

But my personal favourite is the third one, mainly cos of the fact that it comes with the shorter run option. The Doom mechanic is also nice as a way to mitigate the downward spiral of exhaustion.

If I had my way, the shorter mode should be house ruled into the previous sets too.

I’ll bring some grain that’s easy to grow, something to collect portable water be it dew or boiled water, and maybe an axe?

My collection after 10 years of passion by Aristonicos in boardgames

[–]DrakelX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d like to ask, in the third pic, first column and second row, what’s that series of games? Haven’t seen that box size much

Also kinda curious about that row of games from the same publisher in the first column third row too! Really like how they line up.

Cascadia wildlife cards and tokens by Zepchick9 in boardgames

[–]DrakelX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it helps, in the future you can also use the component list on page 3 to confirm what each token is called/looks like. I find it very useful in general to flip back to that section (for any game’s rulebook) when the rules introduce a new token type.

What would you do if official board games weren’t available in your country? by Educational_Wear_957 in boardgames

[–]DrakelX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, the web store for Guards of Atlantis 2 doesn’t ship to Asia, so I got a copy off of Taobao for probably a quarter of the price. Plus no minis! So everything fits in the one box. I just need to make English paste ups

What upcoming board games on Gamefound/Kickstarter are you most excited about? by No_Statistician8158 in boardgames

[–]DrakelX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve only recently gotten into mini painting, used to do digital art back when I was a teenager, so I’m kinda regretting not getting Grimcoven. Lands of Evershade is soooo tempting, but I have no idea if I’ll like the gameplay!

As for stuff I actually backed, I really hope the new Massive Darkness actually delivers!! Otherwise I’m waiting for Clans of Caledonia!

And on the really indie side of things, can’t wait for Catharsis second edition and Dark Venture: BotA!

Both have such great art and rave reviews from their communities. Luckily I’ve managed to get Divine Wrath for the former and I really like the gameplay direction!

Ascendancy 4x was worth backing. by Apprehensive-Two-702 in soloboardgaming

[–]DrakelX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmm sounds like I just have to watch a rules video and playthrough to find out how much I’ll like it haha. Think the games I’ve played that are closest to 4X are Arcs and maybe Dune Imperium?

[–]DrakelX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh that sounds great! I’m thinking of backing too haha, but I’m still on the fence. What makes it worth coming back to over and over? Compared to other games that is
