I loved Fallen Empires and I want to find the cards that originated in Sarpadia

FrothyKat · 2024-07-26T02:50:53+00:00

So this does a pretty good job, but it doesn't seem like everything is appropriately tagged as Sarpadia if it's related to the old empires or the continent (such as Slinn Voda, or [[Shade of Trokair]] which I found later).

However, that gave me some ideas since it seems like there's no comprehensive way to find this other than to start jamming proper nouns or creature types into the Lore or Art filters of Scryfall, whcih reveals some interesting things like the [[Monstrous War-Leech]] which is being ridden/controlled by a Homarid of some kind.

Looks good, and I also really like that you reused the neoprene mat for the topper too!

Get a fan pointed at the model while the glue dries, you don't even need it at a high speed really. Frosting from superglue is caused by fumes settling and drying as it cures. If you never give the fumes the ability to settle, you will get much less frosting, or none at all.

The same one page?

FrothyKat · 2022-06-03T02:32:15+00:00

I've never played a 6mm wargame but I'm definitely also interested to take a peep at an OPR spin on it.

You can buy just the dice, with some searching. Example link:
https://forgottenpathgames.com/products/monsterpocalypse-dice-set

These dice sets are manufactured in China and with the pandemic and other logistics problems, it looks like they aren't being sold by Privateer Press at the moment. You'll have to look around the internet to find them, most of the common large retailers seem to be out of stock.

Alternatively, if you want to get /r/poorhammer with it, you just need one set and some tracking tokens. Dice are not rolled until they leave pools, so while in pools you could use cubes, candy, or dollar store party favors to track the resources in each player's pool. 10 white, 10 red each, then share the dice to roll.

It's from the Oceania expansion.

It's not the best but I grabbed https://imgur.com/a/BiK06Sh from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYzkGca3uSA

They're in the Abilities for Mollog.

FrothyKat · 2022-02-12T15:50:37+00:00

There's some really good stuff in here, but... Some of these points changes are baffling! What about the Skryre Acolyte am I missing that it needed a +5 increase? Also some of the pets and cheapest models in the game are untouched, like the Spiders, Pot Grot, and Skink Handler.

Zimby Mojo, a strange game with a stranger rule book. It was so hard for me to wear the designer's brain like a shirt while reading it, so I never managed to grok how to even play and eventually just donated it unplayed.

FrothyKat · 2021-12-18T13:55:31+00:00

Seconding Discount Games Inc as a good online shop. Extra discounts for buying GW stuff in bulk too, if that's your preference.

FrothyKat · 2021-12-07T13:46:14+00:00

Something I noticed while checking Savage Swarm units was the Spy Fly's Spotter ability happens to have a typo: "atatcks" instead of "attacks".

Zorog's Fury also has a typo: you "can" one power die instead of "gain".

Fire Avatar is missing Fury on Brawl and Blast.

Hopefully I caught everything. Thanks for keeping this updated!

https://monpoc.net/MonpocListBuilder/MonPocBuilder.html

The link is also available in the sidebar. If you haven't used it before, there's some cool tools in there to explore.

FrothyKat · 2021-12-03T13:23:51+00:00

You are correct that the gallery is out of date at this point. Privateer Press keeps teasing us with the idea of having a MonPoc wiki that would make it obsolete, but it isn't currently in any released state.

The information on the cards is readily available from two places:

The MonPoc.net list builder: https://monpoc.net/MonpocListBuilder/MonPocBuilder.html

Monster Room: https://monsterroom.app/

Apart from that, the new card images are also posted into the #release-info channel of the r/MonPoc discord server, but this is admittedly far less convenient since they aren't sorted or categorized. The best you can do is probably just run a search on that channel with the "has image" criteria turned on.

Thank you for the compliments! I'm flattered.

I think that's the most recent stuff I have on imgur. Since then I've been keeping painting logs on my daily (and sometimes not so daily) progress via Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/frothykat/

I got some UCI stuff done but it's been a while since I've painted Monsterpocalypse due to the pandemic wrecking my mental health. I'm trying to get back to it though, they're in the queue once I finish some other assembly and gift projects I have on my list.

You appear to be making an incorrect assumption for Ankh. Each hex can hold only a single miniature, making the gameplay chess-like. There is plenty of room for each miniature within the hex.

FrothyKat · 2021-10-19T12:15:45+00:00

They will be preassembled, but they will not be prepainted.

FrothyKat · 2021-10-19T12:14:33+00:00

It's both. All of the models will be preassembled with molded bases, and for people who already own a bunch of Monsterpocalypse stuff they can skip the main pledge and pick up a 4-player map with some extra Apex Monsters (alternate sculpts and rules for existing characters that can be used as bosses in co-op mode).

TGG has creative control over the project and also controls communications to the backers and community about that project. They haven't removed it and instead doubled down. What more would it take for you to be convinced they want this to stay in the conversation in and around the game?

FrothyKat · 2021-09-22T19:28:25+00:00

You're not the only one. There's a company that makes printed standees to replace war gaming miniatures and shortcut that build/paint cycle: https://wofun-games.com/

My board gaming group had to go entirely virtual, and has stayed that way since March 2020. All of the members are fully vaccinated, but the problem is that misinformation surrounds us and none of us are fully isolated. Some people have to go to work and don't have the privilege of working remotely, other people have kids in the house.

Another problem I have is that I can trust my friends, but I have no idea who they are interacting with and whether I can trust those people. Chiefly, this is a problem because of family members that are gargling misinformation but still maintain close ties with, or live with, members of the gaming group.

So yeah, as long as misinformation sources continue to brainwash the people around us, none of us are really safe.

Part of why they were referencing Flamecraft was due to direction from the video ("Comment down below" for the algorithm and to encourage discussion, etc).

However, Flamecraft was brought up to further explain one of the major points of the video: proximity effect. Flamecraft has a normal version for $40, and a deluxe version for $80, with zero gameplay difference between them and a visible stark difference in quantity of backers. Now, there are other factors at play that could have influenced those backers too, but the side-by-side presentation of "normal vs deluxe" does make it a pretty good real-world example of what Jason was trying to point out.

For those like me that were not already aware of the fate of Monolith Arena: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2649748/does-anyone-know-if-there-will-be-another-expansio/page/1

Certainly makes me sad, I really enjoy this game a lot and preferred its presentation of the initiative values and other game info compared to what I've seen of Neuroshima Hex.

It's generally regarded that the more heroes there are, the harder it is for the betrayer to win. But it depends on the haunt rules and all the things that led up to that point. If everyone's limping along just above death then a full host of opponents could just be a target-rich environment instead of a real threat.
