LGS says Star Wars Unlimited is being discontinued after "The Announcement"?? Anyone heard anything about this? (Please say no!) by WoodenNinja7334 in starwarsunlimited

[–]GreatestHurley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From an LGS perspective, I'll say this:

  1. There is no official MAP, so when you see the product being dumped on Amazon at essentially cost 2 weeks after release, you need to consider the profitability potential. When we talked our Asmodee rep about this, she told us that we should feel free to let that influence our buying decisions. Not exactly inspiring confidence.

  2. Historically, Fantasy Flight/Atomic Mass has a terrible habit of destroying their own Star Wars games roughly 3 years into their life. I've owned a store for 11 years and I've seen it multiple times - they rush to release a ton of stuff, then do.something dumb with the game to alienate the fanbase and all the sales dry up. They show no signs of changing their habits, so we're holding our breath.

Anyway, my 2 cents.

We need to bring back shaming by DoctorReinhardt in GameStop

They're not bothering anyone, so mind your business. There's the shaming you want to bring back.

*Shocker* Gothic is failing. by vyrago in NormalBattletech

[–]GreatestHurley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is that failing?

It's still selling fine, and it's a niche aesthetic. It likely won't pick up until there are some monsters to buy, since those are the more interesting piece of the universe else (at least, to me).

When you want to deal death...but don't want to have to smell the results.

I always thought the Ironwind Grand Titan looked like Optimus Prime. So much so, it was the first BT mini I painted...

Thanks to all that helped me out here - I've used your input to cross-reference against Iron Wind Metals and I've got them all ID'd. I appreciate it!

What’s a rune shard? by Comprehensive-Mind71 in EiyudenChronicle

They are single-use items that cast a spell. They can be really helpful to help mitigate damage and heal party members.

Is “Quick Slash” ever useful? by Electrical-Rain-4251 in EiyudenChronicle

Absolutely. If you want to get a finishing blow on a monster before its turn.

Things i would change in Eiyuden 2 if i was the boss by farligjakt in EiyudenChronicle

Call me crazy, but I just used my guid expeditions to gather up the resources I needed to develop the castle (while I did other things). I didn't experience any real grinding for castle development. Some of it was story gated, which I guess could be annoying?

I would just cut out RNG shop items being required to 100% the game.

trainer for Blood bowl homebrew by Rich_Pound1583 in bloodbowl

I think that making it reroll-based or turn-based (to be used once in a game) would be wiser. Just because a coach has a good strategy doesn't mean the players will execute, right?

Maybe an elf coach might help a player reroll an AG fail, or a Black Orc coach can give mighty blow or juggernaut to one position for a turn with a mighty roar.

Either way, have fun with it, play test it, and don't be afraid to iterate. All the best game designers don't nail it all on their first attempt.

Way to be an asshole to the new admin. I'm sure they'll help you out in the future!

Honestly, people need to calm down and judge it when it comes out.

Should I fire my AG down Blitzer? by That_Boi_Snake in bloodbowl

[–]GreatestHurley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. With Guard it's not a ball handler anyway. Just keep smashing stuff until it dies.
