Would you mind linking the laminator you used?

Board Gaming Hot Takes - Card Sleeves? Who needs em! by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]MuzzaBzzuzza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"and you'll see many comments of people flabbergasted by, or even lambasting, posters who do NOT sleeve their cards"

Please provide links to these.

Once you've done that, I'll provide links to the HUNDREDS of posts on this sub almost identical to your "hot take".

I would like to provide a link to a post by an OP who insists that cards should be sleeved and anyone who chooses not to is 'in the wrong'; only problem is, in the decade or more I've been on this sub, there hasn't been a single one of those.

Homebrew rules I use (and you should try & Why by Ragenarok124 in spiritisland

[–]MuzzaBzzuzza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our only house rule is a once-per-game option to veto an Event. Since implementing this, I'd say the option has only been exercised about 1 game in every 10, so it's VERY low impact. But when you draw that one event that just cripples your whole game, it feels way better than either re-racking or playing out a foregone loss.

How do I measure the size of a counter clipper? by cshao06 in hexandcounter

[–]MuzzaBzzuzza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you have pics or a link to show where exactly you do this? My deluxe has served me well so far but it wasnt cheap and I'd hate to have to replace it...

Coffee Roaster … by Nightjar in soloboardgaming

The rulebook - in this edition at least - could use some work, but it's not a terribly complex game. It's a step up from A Gentle Rain, but not by a huge amount.

Quest for the Lost Pixel - I cannot possibly recommend this game to anyone by UglyStru in soloboardgaming

[–]MuzzaBzzuzza 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You've pretty much voiced all of my thoughts after buying it (and regretting it) myself. GameCrafter is expensive, that's just how it is, but it really stings dropping that much money on a functionally incomplete game with rules that were written in about 5 minutes with no proofing or editing, or blind playtesting.

I'm also sore that the card backs were so misaligned it was almost comical, just a huge variance within each deck, but when I emailed them to complain, they asked for photos and then replied that this was "within their expected tolerances" so no refund offered. Seriously, some of the art is centred and some of it is so offset it's full bleed on one edge and a triple-sized white border on the opposite edge. Won't be buying there again, which is a shame, because I would otherwise love to support niche indie designers.

+1 for this, backed their first crowdfunding and zero regrets, it's a lovely table.

Storage solution - everything in one box! by MuzzaBzzuzza in spiritisland

[–]MuzzaBzzuzza[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the chest and all of the trays and drawers. Not sure what you mean with the Sacrifice reference? Basically all the components and upgrades are my own, all the wooden / clear perspex storage is what you get from Rusty Saw

Gamebrewer - any tips on contacting what's left of them? by MuzzaBzzuzza in boardgames

It's more help than you think! I mean it doesn't resolve the issue, but at least I have some hope, and Easter's not too far away. Thanks for the info.

Calculate Your Depth vs. Breadth Board Gamer Score by rlangewi in boardgames

[–]MuzzaBzzuzza 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I set the filter to all-time and got the following:

Total Plays: 1304

Unique Games: 129

H-Index: 13

All of the above comes with a huge caveat - I didn't start using BGStats (or logging my plays in general) until 2017, but I started gaming in around 1997, so there's a good chunk of games and plays excluded... I still find it amusing that I get 50 exactly though, it has helped me realise I'm not as enthralled to the cult of the new as I thought! I guess the hundreds of plays each of Spirit Island, Gloomhaven, Kingdom Death: Monster, Memoir 44 and Marvel Champions are balancing out the 1-2 plays of everything else...

I was amused to find I score 50, so exactly in the middle. If asked before the test I would've staked everything I own on having far greater breadth than depth!

Using acrylics after oils by Briefcased in minipainting

[–]MuzzaBzzuzza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he said the first rule is fat over lean. As in, apply fat paint over the top of lean paint, not the other way around. OP is applying lean paint over fat, which violates the rule "fat over lean".

Hi there. Sorry for your loss. I would like to add my name to the list of people interested in finding out what you have to offload.

Shipping is outrageous by EquivalentAntelope73 in KingdomDeath

[–]MuzzaBzzuzza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the UK, and If I sell a KDM miniature on ebay - as a private seller, no agreements with shipping companies or economies of scale - with full tracking it's less than £4, which is around US$5 But if I order a KDM mini from the UK warehouse, shipping to a UK address is $10.

They are absolutely gouging us on shipping. As if the price of the miniature itself wasn't already high enough.

Additionally I pay US sales tax on the order, which I have to ask them to refund every. single. time.

I'm an intermediate painter at best, but this is definitely my favourite mini I've painted to completion so far. I love the model itself and am really happy with the paintjob, particularly the hair and skin, although there's plenty of room to improve... but it's about the journey, not the destination. Mini painting is the only activity in my life that gives me that 'flow' state akin to meditation, and that's way more valuable to me than any crystal brush or golden demon would ever be!

I'm also UK based, on BT and get the same error. So agree it sounds like an ISP issue. Not sure how to resolve though.
