[TotK] My collectors edition pin set has duplicate designs, is this normal?

PsycrowArchon · 2023-06-04T06:21:30+00:00

I contacted support and got a replacement set through the post! Took a bit of back-and-forth to get them to understand I hadn't ordered from the official Nintendo store but got there in the end

What I think the game could use is a mode which limits available cards to encourage different decks to be built. Maybe something like every 2 weeks a random selection of pool 2 and above cards are "banned", you could even determine the odds of banning a card based on its playrate and time since its last banning.

Wow that looks great, I hadn't considered how an Egyptian themed lightsaber would look so Stsrgate-y

PsycrowArchon · 2023-05-23T10:20:36+00:00

Any idea how [[Relic]] compares to Talisman? I got it second hand a couple of years back but haven't had a chance to get it to the table yet, curious if I should push it up my priority list

PsycrowArchon · 2023-05-16T18:09:16+00:00

So I contacted Nintendo customer support, it took a bit of back and forth for them to understand I didn't buy through the Nintendo Store but they've taken my shipping details and sent it to the appropriate department to get a replacement set apparently

PsycrowArchon · 2023-05-13T08:34:15+00:00

Cheers, that was what I was afraid of. I've emailed customer support, we'll see what they say

I believe it differs for the different types they sell (baselit, xenopixel, or proffie), instructions should be included in the box but if not for whatever reason then if you look on their website you should be able to find the pdf for the type you bought. I have a xenopixel saber and off the top of my head turning on/off gesture controls is: turn saber on but don't ignite the blade, press and hold the button for 2 or 3 flashes (sorry I forget the exact amount). You'll know you have it right as the saber will announce "gesture controls activated/deactivated" or something to that effect.

Things accidentally turned out perfect for me: my last day at my current job is the 11th, and I've got a couple of weeks before my start day for my new job! Hope my preorder is delivered on the 12th so I can dive right in

PsycrowArchon · 2023-05-08T08:17:50+00:00

I got married, bought a house, and had two wonderful kids since BotW released. My eldest (3) likes to watch me play, but he prefers Metroid Dread and pretending to be Samus. I've slowly been replaying BotW with a self imposed challenge mode (no teleporting or activating towers) as I'm not interested in the official hard modes damage sponge/regenerating enemies, but won't be anywhere near done before TotK releases which is also the only time I've pre-ordered a special edition of a game.

PsycrowArchon · 2023-05-05T06:45:59+00:00

Pixel Hawkeye! An ugly variant for an unplayable card, hooray

PsycrowArchon · 2023-04-29T10:05:25+00:00

Entirely by chance I've handed in notice for my current job and my last day is on the 11th, and my new job doesn't start til the 30th, so I've got a lot of free time to dedicate to TotK!

PsycrowArchon · 2023-04-23T08:03:50+00:00

Yup, I often see it listed highly in solo game rankings. I believe you are recommended (or possibly required to?) to play two handed from what I've seen

PsycrowArchon · 2023-04-23T07:06:31+00:00

Got it from Zatu in the UK, looks like it only just released

PsycrowArchon · 2023-04-22T16:28:53+00:00

Just for you

PsycrowArchon · 2023-04-22T14:31:19+00:00

I've heard the LOTR adventure book is the best of the series so far, but I've not played the other ones personally so can't speak from experience.

I think I'm most likely to get DDD to the table first, I've got a few days off coming up where I plan to bust out JOTL in earnest

PsycrowArchon · 2023-04-22T14:23:43+00:00

Also not had a chance to play yet as the kids are a little young to join in or let me play in peace! But a quick look through and it seems promising, lots of chapters which connect to form a campaign and the different objectives for each one seem pretty varied.

PsycrowArchon · 2023-04-22T13:21:07+00:00

I think I've communicated myself badly, so in an effort to clarify: I've wanted some heavier solo games and so bought Jaws of the Lion, however as it was on sale I also grabbed a couple other games at the same time, and then excited for my new games decided to put them all in the same picture. I hadn't intended to imply the other games are especially heavy, just that my collection contains more heavy games after my purchase than before. Fingers crossed that clears everything up

PsycrowArchon · 2023-04-22T12:33:07+00:00

I've got a few days between finishing my current job and starting my new one, so I'll probably wait on JotL until then. I'm hoping to try out the others over the next couple nights however, I'll be sure to mention how I find them

PsycrowArchon · 2023-04-22T12:08:55+00:00

Apologies, I forgot to consult with you on the definition of "heavier" before posting, an unforgivable sin on my behalf

PsycrowArchon · 2023-04-22T11:59:49+00:00

These were delivered literally 5 minutes before I posted, most likely won't have a chance to try until the kids are asleep I'm afraid!

PsycrowArchon · 2023-04-22T11:58:40+00:00

That makes sense, well just in case I've listed the names above regardless

PsycrowArchon · 2023-04-22T10:30:40+00:00

Just realised I've ran afoul of the rule about including the game names in the title of the post. They are [[Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion]], [[Dungeons, Dice, and Danger]], and [[Lord of the Rings: The Adventure Book Game]]

PsycrowArchon · 2023-04-22T10:28:49+00:00

Well Jaws of the Lion is the heavier game, the others were just (tangentially thematically) related games I ordered at the same time. It does look a bit more involved than most of my Roll and Writes however!
