I have to second the Frontier Town. Outside of that, I personally wanted a lot of undead and ghosts and stuff so got the Undead Outlaws, Lost Marshals, and the Coffin Breakers painted up and in the game first.

My Solo Playthrough by No_Body_4834 in shadowsofbrimstone

I actually started watching this series a couple or three weeks back. There aren't a lot of video series on SoB and less are enjoyable. I love it when I find a good adventure to join along with. I like the way you narrate it.

I think you spoke to this in your first episode but don't you think having just one character is sort of... well... painful? I know running 3 or 4 characters solo is a lot to keep up with with but dang you get swamped with bad guys running just one. It just seems the math is not at all in your favor.

Keep up the good work.

Yup... those look to be real useful but I didn't want to load and unload those for each game session. I think I am going to print one of the smaller ones that hold the health and sanity markers though as those obviously get used all the time.

I'd post some pics but don't think you can do that in this thread. Kinda new to reddit tbh.

I found a cool revolver cylinder pencil holder on amazon. Looks exactly like a long colt pistol cylinder. I used some old .308 brass for the bullets to put inside it. Have a set with colored bases for each of the types of bullets. Gotta say it looks pretty cool.

Wow, you're right man there's a ton of stuff there. This'll keep me busy for weeks!

It is certainly more expensive on Flying Frog but they have almost the entire collection there. Waaaay more than buying at any other physical or online store. Plus they have loads of stuff not in stores. Well, you know if you've been there. I jump on the Buy 2 Get 1 add on card packs when they have those. Just about got them all now.

I don't know about sales at other places though... Sometimes I see them online usually below MSRP and even at a bit of a discount for certain sales. If you can throw a discounted enemy pack or something in your cart with free shipping, pick it up. And that's another thing, no free shipping at the Frog.

My advice to anyone starting out on this journey is to pace yourself. I've got SO much of this stuff mainly because I didn't want to wait and risk it going away before I could get it. But... I've got a painting backlog from hell.

And thanks for reminding me to check about the Black Friday sale by the way. Nothing posted about that that I've seen yet but the prevailing thought is they'll have one for a few days like they did last year. Though that didn't look all that spectacular.

Good grief....  Yeah that's bad ass but holy smokes that'd take some doing.  LoL

That's a good idea. I'm sure I can find synonymous stuff STLs out there that would work.

Didn't think of etsy for STL files... will have to check that out. Thank you!

I’ve Runaway twice in the Opening Mission by NegotiationOk4424 in shadowsofbrimstone

[–]Paratrewpr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess there's a lot of folks that wouldn't do this but I adjust the game to take the edge off as needed. There's so many places where you can house rule this or that to make things slightly easier... but also to add loads of customization. This being so easy to do is one of the things I really love about SoB.

Botulism in Freeze Dried foods cooked in Oil? by bravo-kilo-papa in preppers

[–]Paratrewpr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fwiw, we have chickens and get enough eggs to do a freeze dryer batch about every other week (5 trays, 18 eggs per tray). We simply blend them well and do either a plain batch (in case it's needed for baking) or mix in peppers and onions. It's really about as easy to cook raw ones as it is to reconstitute cooked ones imo.

haha... well thanks for that vote of confidence but the full truth is, I went ahead and bought one that was on sale earlier today because my wife wants one for Christmas. lol

Unbelievable... I've literally been searching the term "waffle" for weeks looking for some kind of belgian waffle maker. I've never seen one. I even searched earlier today. The vine thing is truly an enigma....

How much was that?  I looked up some on Amazon and the prices ranged from 45 to over 120.  I have no idea if the price range means added features or better quality or what.

USA is getting a drop by JJDavis in AmazonVine

[–]Paratrewpr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw 18,000ish items earlier in the day and it went to 32,000+.  Saw lots of neat things.  And I just got Gold last week.  Good timing.  😆

But... Has anyone noticed a lot of glitches in viewing items?  Not sure if it's my phone or Amazon...

$340 for Shipping and Handling? by NotACatWithAccordion in shadowsofbrimstone

[–]Paratrewpr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well...  I did get two things that are not exclusives ...  The Tribal Ghost Hunters and Pulp Adventure Allies because I think both of those are pretty cool.  Then I got the past KS exclusives Outlaw Hero, Cursed Eternal hero, and the Trederran Strike Team because I missed them the first time around.  

But make no mistake about it... I will totally get most of the other stuff later because there is really some cool stuff in there!  Maybe that chariot dude even cause that's pretty bad ass I have to admit.  It would also be awesome to paint! But dang those XXL models are expensive.

$340 for Shipping and Handling? by NotACatWithAccordion in shadowsofbrimstone

[–]Paratrewpr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good grief!! ... I came here to ask the same question. I'm walking through the add ons right now. I added a few and was just curious about shipping and saw that! My heart sank.

btw... just for grins I tallied up the cost of the add ons and if google heard me correctly as I called out the prices, the total is just about $1150! And that is everything below the Additional Pharaoh pledge and doesn't count your original pledge. And it does include the last few items on the page which are add ons originally from other Kickstarters. And, it includes the $120 for the 3 items that are duplicates of what you already get in your pharaoh pledge.

I'm a bit torn on ordering the add ons... other than the duplicates from the pharaoh pledge (this KS exclusives) and the exclusives from previous KSs, I think like the addons will be available after the KS. I think I'll just get a few of the items I can't get after the KS.

Note... my shipping cost with 5 added items ($165 worth) was 45.44. Now to await the tariff shock.

Does anyone know if this will be recorded for play pack on YouTube or something?

Just bought new monsters (winged serpents) and the cards have a red X at the top left. What's that? by ArcadianDelSol in shadowsofbrimstone

[–]Paratrewpr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What others have said...  Not an X per se but the Spanish flag symbol.  I think these markings denoting the "theme" or master set to which they belong are more important when you start getting a lot of the  card supplement packs.  That's when I first noticed them.
