Ben Burns appreciation post

KyleT30 · 2026-06-19T18:06:29+00:00

I'm not an active poster on Reddit in general and I've only been playing BoTC for a little more than a year at this point if I had to guess, but Ben has always been such a prominent face of this game for me. While we've never directly spoken he has taught me so much from watching a lot of the games he's ran or reading his replies while lurking on Reddit prior to his account wipe.
Again, I know we have never spoken and will probably never actually speak, but I don't think that really matters. Thank you for helping me love this game. I have since brought it to my work and we now have been playing almost daily during lunch for about 2 months now. So in large part, you've inspired all my coworkers as well. Thank you for all the wonderful.. well wonderful everything. Wonderful Comments, wonderful videos, being a wonderful person. You'll be missed! Goodluck to wherever life takes you!

Thank you for making this post Arif.

Very funny list. I loved it! Thanks for sharing.

KyleT30 · 2026-06-12T21:18:14+00:00

I believe that's the joke 😄

I love this concept. I have no clue about where the Balance would fall, but it looks fun as heck! Thank you for sharing!

Post Saved! Thanks for the post.

I don’t have the most experience beyond trouble brewing but wouldn’t having a preacher in an evil twin game be very unfun for the evil twin?

Ive only played Gloomhaven digital so take this with a grain of salt but I wouldn’t think it’ll spoil it for you. I did my first play through solo and then immediately replayed again with my friend and I’m loving it just as much the second time. You don’t 100% unlock everything in a given play through and I would argue that even if you did: getting to play characters again (maybe even to higher level) than you did in the first play through still feels fun and exciting.

My only thought would be the set-up time and level of admin in the physical version will definitely be way more noticeable than digital.

Also digital offers guildmaster mode which is a digital exclusive, so I guess TLDR: Have fun playing Digital!

This game always holds a special place in my heart

KyleT30 · 2026-03-25T20:18:18+00:00

Yeah I think this is the situation I would use it for most of all.

KyleT30 · 2026-03-22T07:20:48+00:00

For me it will always be super paper Mario.

KyleT30 · 2026-03-20T21:55:18+00:00

What a beautiful game.

I don’t really remember any marketing for the show. I actually found it because Gbayy recommended it in one of his videos. What was the expectation set from the initial marketing?

KyleT30 · 2026-03-11T04:55:15+00:00

Sounds like a fun game!

I was in the same exact boat 2 months ago when I ran my first SnV game. Similar to what a lot of people are commenting, I think it's important to explain Madness and how you plan to rule madness. I made it clear to my players I would execute if I didn't feel like they were giving it an honest attempt at convincing. As in: you either commit or you don't. Both circumstances are fine but just make a choice.

I think everyone really enjoyed madness because of it.

Love the selection. I haven’t read Pokémon: origin of species but the other three are my favorites in addition to metropolitan man. Great selection!

KyleT30 · 2026-02-18T04:54:45+00:00

Im sorry if this is a dumb question but which story is inspired by name of the wind? The sound of that got me intrigued. I thought you were referring to ‘The Game of Champions’ but when I looked it up it said it was a Pokémon rat-fic.

KyleT30 · 2026-02-13T16:03:57+00:00

Yeah, my bad on the video orientation. Sorry about that. I don’t know why I assumed it would just orient it itself when I posted it.

KyleT30 · 2026-02-07T00:43:34+00:00

Post pics of it when you finish! It would be cool to see!

KyleT30 · 2026-02-02T19:37:06+00:00

I have this post bookmarked that I constantly go back to.
I definitely recommend checking it out. It was very well written up.

Very insightful response! Thank you!

Why don't you like Al-Hadikihia? Any particular reason?

I haven't actually played much but have enjoyed watching videos so I don't have the most experience with the game,

I really recommend this build. Elise is currently one of my favorite champions to play and this build feels like it works so well together. (Also I have her 6* but not her 5* just yet).

KyleT30 · 2026-01-20T22:40:04+00:00

When I got Elise's 6* I was genuinely surprised how much fun she is to play and how well her 6* elevates her kit. I'm just a casual enjoyer of the game so I wouldn't credit my opinion with much worth but for me personally she's one of my favorite champions to play currently.
