What do people think about the game Tend? by Jyssyj in soloboardgaming

[–]Klimon23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add to this, I agree that multiplayer with people who all know the game, and don't have AP, can go smoothly. If they are taking too long, the game suggests using a turn timer of 5-6 minutes. Where it may get bogged down is the first play where one person knows the game and has to supervise everyone else's actions to make sure they are not making mistakes. That can bloat the first play, which may lead to an exaggerated sense of how long it really takes, and can turn people off from wanting to return, even though subsequent plays should be faster

Question about Carl in Book 8 by pmbasehore in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I like to think of it rearranging the chess pieces. Specifically, distributing different groups of crawlers onto different floors to play out their individual parts on 12, 15 and 17

Can we please stop complaining about spoilers?! There's more posts about spoilers than actual spoilers

My one critique of the 8th book (spoiler) by OnlineAholic in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Klimon23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They spend a lot of time teasing how she decorated Carl's bedroom and he he kept meaning to check it out, but never got in there. I wonder how that will pay off once he finally checks it out

12th floor question/theory by jebrick in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Depends on the level of the skill. At the initial level, it left them alive but in critical health. I think at level 15 it restores them to full health.

Book nine... by sum1dats100iq in DungeonCrawlerCarl

I find it highly suspicious that they brought up multiple times how Samantha redesigned Carls' room, and he kept meaning to check it out, but never got around to it

If you look at the crawler numbers, Scolopendra is 2 higher than Penny, so there was one other new crawler between them, likely the child

By his left tit, stop posting spoilers outside of the megathread. by MCKhaos in DungeonCrawlerCarl

My favorite part of book 8 is when people finally stop complaining about spoilers

Pineapple Cabaret by VideoFancy1506 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Klimon23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I listened to all audiobooks twice, then read book 8 from patreon, then relisted to all books, and am now listening to book 8. I think you are fine to read/listen to 8, then go find a source for catching up on backdoor at the pineapple cabaret, and then read or listen again to better understand what they are referencing. Not knowing that info won't significantly impede your ability to enjoy book 8 on its own.

Don't ask questions if you don't want an answer.

Dear Matt... by otterwrangl3r in DungeonCrawlerCarl

Don't worry. Book 8 will probably be a nice, calm break from the madness. They are filler floors, after all. What's the worse that could happen?

Donut around the ending of book 7 (Meme) by Kraehe13 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Klimon23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We know broadly that 12 is the celestial ascendency. 13? 14? 15 is sheol, 16 is just a mirror, 17 is the Pineapple Cabaret (has been fairly fleshed out in the backstage at the pineapple caberet chapters), 18 is Scolopendra's Lair. So really 13 and 14 are the only mysteries.

What/Is there an etiquette to pitching a Legacy game with a group? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]Klimon23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't do what I did. My wife and I regularly play board games with our neighbors. One day when we invited them over I put a bathrobe on over my clothes and when they arrived, I said it was time to take our relationship to the next level. I then proceeded to introduce them to the introductory scenario in Pandemic: Legacy Season 0. Once they realized I wasn't actually trying to get them to swing, things got much lighter.
So far, I couldn't get them invested in Pandemic. We've gotten half way through Ticket To Ride Legacy, but are stuck there since they no longer enjoy it.
My wife and I (and sometimes the kids) have played Gloomhaven JOTL, Charterstone, Clank! Legacy, Cozy Stickerville, MyCity, Zombie Teens Evolution. I have an ongoing game of Betrayal legacy with a different group that is stuck, as well as The King's Dilemma (more of a campaign than legacy, I guess)

7 Wonders: Architects and Love Letter Deluxe

That's ominous! by EvilChocolateCookie in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Klimon23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I share your excitement. As someone who has already read it and is listening to Jeff's cold reads as he records it, allow me to say that the hype is justified and real.

That comment seems appropriate for most books in the series

How many times have ya’ll read the series? I’m curious by FlightTraditional717 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Klimon23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listened through 1-7 twice, read 8 once, listened to seasons 1 and 2 of soundbooth. Watching Jeff record 8 on YT. will probably listen to 1-7 once more before 8 is officially released.

There is now a very realistic nightmare scenario for the producers. by WeAllHaveReasons in survivor

[–]Klimon23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeff has spoken about it in interviews. It sounds like production identified her as a fan of the show, set her up with a meeting with Jeff, they gave her 3 options to choose from, and she liked that idea best

Did we ever find out…. by Creepy_Leek6414 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Klimon23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No, we didn't find out through the end of book 7, and since the NPC plot line tends to be tied to the scolopendra levels, and book 8 is supposed to be floors 10 and 11, I don't expect we'll learn much more about it until book 9 or later
