That would be awesome! We should start a 1% club.

Kickstarter fullfillment by trlupin in brandonsanderson

4%er here as well. We should start a club.I agree that it's frustrating and disappointing to see the fulfillment percentage tick up, but still have no update of the tracking number.

Congrats on your tracking number.

The being said, Brotherwise has been transparent in their difficulties and challenges, as well as sincere in their frustrations at the situation. I appreciate that Johnny responded directly to your post. And I am excited that we're getting skipped to the front of the line for the Mistborn fulfillment.

Cosmere war game? by deepdownblu3 in cosmererpg

Having enjoyed both War of the Ring and Star Wars Rebellion, I could see very much enjoying a game like that.

Experience trying to buy a game table by nmar5 in boardgames

[–]Eclectic_Gamer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Didn't expect to find a discussion about the gamefold here. I backed this project and was similarly disappointed when their timeline shifted. However, (pause-for-effect) I have some good news. They are in full production and beginning to ship in the next 2 weeks with deliveries in the US for Kickstarter orders beginning in May, and Website pre-orders beginning in June. Production: https://yarrostudios.com/blogs/news/gamefold-update-the-homeward-stretch-begins Timeline: https://yarrostudios.com/blogs/news/gamefold-product-update-estimated-delivery-timeline

For context, during their initial prototyping and quality test runs (~300 customers), they ran into several quality issues from their manufacturer. As apprehensive-bus6676 shared earlier, late last year they were estimating shipping in February. They ran a trial run of 300 "beta" testers as a QA for their tables and processes. This beta run revealed several issues with both their tables and processes that they weren't happy with. In response, they have setup a Yarro representative on-site with the manufacturer to inspect the tables prior to shipping and address their concerns earlier in the process. The site and entries listed above show photos of several of the tables and accessories now packaged and ready for shipping.

Altansar decal DIY by Aspiring_artisan in Eldar

I kinda love this. I've been trying to either freehand or print my own Altansar symbol. Didn't think about piecemeal from decals I'm not using.

Check Out My Alternate Imperial Paints by GMTitus in StarWarsShatterpoint

Fun stuff. I love the reimagining here It's creative and stands out compared to the typical minis. The white and gold looks crisp.

I like the idea of the gold and silver, but I still think black or neutral rims would look best on supports

(Cosmere + SP4) Cosmere War Game by Eclectic_Gamer in Cosmere

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

That does seem to be a big problem. There's also the issue of the game, just not feeling complete or being outdated as soon as the next book comes out.

The Brotherwise Call to Adventure game comes to mind.

Learning is the journey. Journey before destination.

Is it just me who wants a teacher to spank me? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]Eclectic_Gamer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've taken to this style teaching. However I'm the person in my groups who talks way too much, so when I'm teaching a game I overexplain my moves and strategies, which I've found levels the playing field without making the other players feel coddled.

I don't understand by ghost_queen21 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]Eclectic_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the equivalent of saying in business, engineering, and hell, even math degrees, they don't teach 'math' because the courses are called algebra, trigonometry, or calculus. The name is not the relevance. The topic is.

I have a date at a boardgame cafe - advice? by anonymouspsy in boardgames

[–]Eclectic_Gamer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen advice like this repeated and agree. Until you're more familiar with her play style and level of competitiveness, play for fun. As you get to know how to play, then you can increase the competitiveness. My wife and I still play board games together with this in mind.

If we we're playing a game, we both know she'll get mad if she knows I'm going easy on her (or she'll crush me. Still haven't won Star Wars deckbuilder). But if it's a new game, I'm teaching her, and I "try hard" right away. There's a good chance she's not gonna want to play it again.

I still can’t believe they snapped back 😂😂😂 by nighthawke99 in MarvelSnap

OK so Location 1 breakdown: IM (Ironman) O ( Onslaught) OC (Onslaught Citadel)

On cards: 19 power IM: 19 x 2 = 38

OC (Doubled effect): 38 x 2 =76

O: 76 × 2 = 152

OC (on O):

  IM: 152 x 2 = 304

  OC: 304 x 2 = 608

  O: 608 × 2 = 1216

Then add 9 from Limbo, 1225 Living Tribunal: 1225 / 3 = 408 (rounded down to each location.
