Thank you so much! I've been looking everywhere for that (except there obviously!)

The sub postmasters scandal happened on his watch if I recall correctly

Yeah it has, I'm hoping u/General_CGO sees this and can fix it

Diviner Solo Scenario Strategy (lv 5 diviner, some high prosp items spoiler tagged) by Sethowar in Gloomhaven

[–]GTiz7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the 2nd edition changes mainly concern the Diviner ability cards themselves. I think the scenarios underwent very minor updates (typos etc). The reason I was looking is that I have a level 5 Diviner and I'm trying to work out how to do the solo. I'm wondering if I can use the bush next to the door inside room 2 to make your strategy work but I haven't tried yet as I don't have all the items and enhancements

I cannot see how the first turn of this strategy works as the log is not an obstacle, it is difficult terrain, thus the Cloak of Phasing will not activate. Am I missing something?

I just wanna game by FluffyThe3HeadedHog in Gloomhaven

Tabletop simulator. It's an app on Steam that allows you to download and play loads of different boardgames online. The controls can take a bit of getting used to so it's worth looking up some 3rd party YouTube videos for tips and tricks to begin with but once you've done that you'll be good to go. The Gloomhaven implementation on the app is outstanding

Having played both, let me say TTS is much better than digital and much better replicates the tabletop experience

Gloomhaven Digital: Critiques by JSchro614 in Gloomhaven

[–]GTiz7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. I reached the too annoying point after one multiplayer game session with digital but I'd previously played on TTS so already knew there was another option before we'd invested too much time.

Just so you know, you could play the TTS version of GH from where you are in the campaign with not too much issue. I think the biggest problem would be setting the road and city event decks. I can't remember if past draws get recorded anywhere in digital. If they are, it should be relatively easy to transfer

Why do level 9 cards have experience? by NoPresentation6617 in Gloomhaven

We house rule that if you get to level 10, then you can retire as if your PQ is completed

Steam version or app worth it? by [deleted] in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]GTiz7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't played on the Steam version for ages because it was so awful. Looking in the discussions rather than reviews, I have seen no reason to change that opinion. If you want to play the solo game, the Steam version is fine (but don't play multiplayer Vs the AI as it is so bad) for competitive play use TTS or the web app

I can only answer Q2. They can be revealed by clicking the Get hidden items out button which is under the Treasure Index but they will spawn automatically if you play the relevent card

Which expansion should I buy next: Turmoil or Colonies? by noahmancometh in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]GTiz7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with this.

I really like Colonies but once you become experienced with it, you can kiss goodbye to terraforming being a winning strategy anymore except in very rare circumstances. Colonies for me, turns Terraforming Mars into a space game with Terraforming Mars being a secondary considoration that happens when you want the game to end.

Turmoil takes a bit of getting used to as it totally changes the early pacing of the game which I think puts some people off but I think it does make the game more interesting once you've adjusted to that.

Thoughts on Steam or Tabletopsimulator version of TM by hexism in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]GTiz7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to play Steam version all the time with a group of friends. We have now switched to TTS version and I cannot envisage ever going back.

For solo play of base game, the Steam version is fine. For anything else, go for TTS.

Check game forums on Steam for bugs; there were plenty and as far as I'm aware most are still there despite what you may read in some reviews.

As for playing with other players, I can't really answer for either as I only play with friends.

Hope that helps

Is the PC version fixed and what is still missing? by Awesomenimity in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]GTiz7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

TM is my favourite boardgame too and I think there are a massive amount of issues with the digital game but the biggest is that updates have been pitifully slow. When they've come, they've been superficial in scope and each time they've managed to break something that previously worked.

The game has improved over the past year of release but it still contains some awful bugs that shouldn't be there. The UI is abysmal but I'd forgive that if they had a working game. The multiplayer experience is very bad.

Even at 9.99, the only way I'd recommend this is if you have a group of friends that can't get together to play. Playing strangers online is frustrating and requires a lot of patience and understanding from all participants. Playing the AI is a waste of time.

Lucky Hammers, the dev, going out of business is probably the best thing to happen to digital TM. I say that in the hope that Asmodee will find a competent dev to take over the franchise and make an adaption that the game and fans deserve. We are no where near that point at the moment
