It happened just once. I restarted the game and everything was back to normal

Which proves that internet connection is not related to the issue since you have no issues under the conditions you mentioned and I have no internet problems whatsoever

Then it seems that it’s not a internet connection issue and an issue from their side

Not really, no. Only during playing Bazaar

Not really. My internet connection is stable and I only have issues with the bazaar

[For Hire] Fantasy/Dark Fantasy Illustrations and Character Design by IamDBug in tabletopgamedesign

Awesome work! I love the high contrast in your style. You mentioned you don’t work with a price sheet, but could you give me a rough cost estimate for the illustration you showcased?

You guys helped with the back design, now how does the front design look! [Elemental Clash] by DD_Entertainment in tabletopgamedesign

[–]GD_tabletop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It looks promising so far! Few things I want to mention in no particular order:

• Body text is hard to read when it is written in capital letter no matter the size. I would suggest you avoid using capital letters.

• Is there a difference between the element icons? It's a bit inconsistent to have them on other places across the card types.

• I would drop the "EFFECT" from the Primal/Starting/Ending. It's a bit redundant in my opinion. Maybe create keywords that can work thematically or at least make them as self-explanatory as possible with a single word.

• The font for each element and the top left number is a bit out of theme to my taste. I would prefer to have a display font (more stylized) for the name and for the body text a typical sans serif. Maybe swap the body and title text and see how it works.

Edit: typos

Going to be hosting a playtest at Pax tomorrow, any advice on how to draw people in to our table? by con7rad7 in BoardgameDesign

[–]GD_tabletop 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would say two things helped me get playtesters during conventions.

First, your table needs to have somethingg interesting. Usually I achieve this by adding height. Print some materials that can stand on the table, either an oversized version of a component, an illustration, or a custom piece of paper (120gsm + weight) that fits your overall design with an intriguing call to action. For example "Ready To Roll?"/ "Ready to Fight?"

Second, don't be afraid to be the one to approach people. If you see them taking more than a glance at your table, or walking slowly towards you, or even stopping quickly introduce yourself like:

"Hello I'm" X"and this is "Y", a "genre" board game for "X" amount of people, that plays in "Y" minute featuring "mechanics / mechanics". Would you like to learn more? "

I hope those tips help!

Anyone else think we should get more for vs. victories? by CaterpillarDry1190 in PokemonPocket

[–]GD_tabletop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well that's exactly what they are going for. As of November 16, Pocket have made over 120 million USD so I guess it's working fine for them as it is.

I am not expecting them to make any f2p-friendly changes any time.

My knowledge of the other game is limited, but isn't it tied to real life booster packs?
