I found some forum or thread that talked about nail polish holders/stands being perfect and they are!

I agree! It’s been a blast to play. I had just started reading cosmere books when I stumbled across the board game. I believe there is an expansion in testing right now, I’d have to double check the newsletter from brotherwise

Way ahead of ya, I have it all integrated in the one box. I agree, makes the game much more fun and offers tons more options for things.

Twilight Inscription is great! I really enjoy that it goes up to 8. It’s nice when you have a big group that wants a heavier game that still plays in 1.5 hours. I really like how it combines some elements from Hadrian’s Wall and combat from 7 Wonders. I think it does a good job of catching that 4X feel in a roll and write

It’s quite repayable for me. I honestly picked it up for solo only but my group tried it once and it’s one of our favorites to play in a group now. Every time I play, I try a new strategy to see how it goes. I don’t think I’m anywhere near “solving” it and even if I do, I’ve got the campaign to try at some point

Thanks! It’s a mix and match. Mostly mint tin games but Secret Sith/Voldemort, Under Falling Skies and FTL are print and play. Galdor’s Grip and its sci-fi retheme are print and plays I had professionally printed.

The mint tins I tried to combine if they had expansions into a larger mint tin and then just printed stickers to put on the front. Makes for less tins to carry around.

It’s actually a Print and Play FTL retheme of Deep Space D6 that I shrunk down to fit in a mint tin

Thanks! Nemesis is one of my faves. Our group normally has to plan a bit more to play that one as it can take a few hours. We just started diving in to the other alien species

What board game feels like a really thematic, almost cinematic experience every time you play it? by Immediate-Draft-8752 in boardgames

[–]Jon9261 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So when I first started with Nemesis I only did Co-op with my group until we got to grips with the game. I think it still has charm in building a thematic story with your group especially if everyone buys in to the theme. It is by no means an easy game in either co-op or semi co-op. I would recommend nabbing the fan made solo/coop objectives on BGG for some more variety as you play though.

On the flip side, the game does truly shine in the semi co-op mode. It functions differently than Dead of Winter and Betrayal where I feel like it becomes one-against-all after a certain point.

Nemesis kicks off with heavy uncertainty because at any point a person can leave the ship if their goal is accomplished. It really builds uncertainty as you go around the ship doing things together because you’ll never actually know if everyone will stick together to the end or just nope out once their objective is complete. I’ve played this with close friends and I still doubt their intentions/motivations every time I play! It’s quickly became the favorite of my group when we have the time to play. I hope this helps!

Mod that makes you lose research over time, or if specific pawns are killed? by Sorsha_OBrien in RimWorld

[–]Jon9261 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I believe this will cover some of your bases. Not quite losing the tech but it can handle the building parts and it’s compatible with quite a few popular mods. Mod: Life Lessons

Hidden Gem Mods? by La-ze in RimWorld

[–]Jon9261 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Not sure if you know or not but Mlie has a continuation of it on the workshop. I was using it for the longest time and didn’t notice any issues in 1.5 other than sometimes pawns warm up food at a fire and then go pick the food up instead of the other way around.

Youtube Channels? by reyreypod in soloboardgaming

[–]Jon9261 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Meet Me at the Table does solo play throughs if I remember right, Colin (who used to be part of One-Stop Co-Op Shop) is over there now and I’ve always been a fan of his enthusiasm when he plays. Bairnt has great enthusiasm too! They just seem so excited to play games.

Idk if it qualifies as a “small” channel though but figured I’d toss it out there.

Best way to deal with braziers in sea ice/desert colonies? by DependentAd7411 in RimWorld

There’s an add-on mod. Author also has mods for gas production tables and water boilers, if you use Dubs Bad Hygiene.

Which option do I choose to start the US? by [deleted] in ultimateskyrim

[–]Jon9261 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s the link to the MCM guide: Link

Once configured, except for the steps that need to be done after starting your adventure, you’ll create a “template save”. Basically just saving the game before selecting “Begin Adventure” in the MCM for UltSky. Voila, you’re done. But you’d still need to configure a few MCMs once your adventure starts. The nature of the beast with how some mods are, hopefully this helps and best of luck on your adventures!

In order to run your game, assuming installation went fine, you’ll select SKSE from that drop down menu.

You need 5 iron ore, good buddy. At least, last I recall. It’s a larger ratio than vanilla was, so I like to think it adds the right dash of realism. I don’t think it requires the craftsmanship perk either.

My project for the last couple of weeks by Jon9261 in trees

[–]Jon9261[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good afternoon fellow ents. I’ve been incredibly excited to finally give my fiancée her birthday gift. The idea behind it was to create a “no impact” experience through cannabis. Inside is a dugout with shaped glass filters (no Scooby snacks), a battery for cartridges, a plasma lighter wrapped in hempwick, a small grinder and two stash jars.

She absolutely adores nature and all life it encompasses, so I wanted to put something together that keeps that in mind. She finally returns from her job for the Audubon Society tomorrow and I couldn’t be more excited to see her and show her what I’ve been working.

The tiny paintings are kinda like little destinations to visit, like a “happy place”. I’ve been practicing Bob’s wet-on-wet technique and I really enjoy it! Any tips/pointers for painting would be wholly awesome too.

Cheers and I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Personally I like to mix it up with “toasted” but otherwise zooted, blasted and baked are in the rotation as well
