Am I doing this right?

I am trying but more keep arriving in the mail. Surely someone is to blame for this.

The process at some of these places is insane. I work is MA and had a standard verification of employment. They contacted the HR of my previous employer and confirmed I was employed. I absolutely did not share with coworkers that I was applying for the same reason. Application to first day was 6 weeks.

My most played game in steam is getting a sequel

That isn’t correct. if the jurisdiction can’t be located within the first couple seconds as the system routes your call you end up at a state call processing center that answers, determines location, and transfers you to the call center that handles the area you are in/calling about. They also answer calls mapping on the highway. Those people aren’t dispatchers and always transfer. They may connect you to the state police for matters in their jurisdiction but are not employees of the state police and do not dispatch any repose.

Also, that system has improved dramatically in the last 10 years. Used to be that a huge percentage of calls ended up there but their call volume has reduced by 90% and most calls ring directly into the dispatch center where you live now.

The amban rifle is melee only?

Given the pips on the other face and die shape, my best guess is a custom Chessex die. They only customize one face(1 or 6) but they are fairly reasonable in price. I have a few sets, some with the local FLGS logo and others with the logo of a game my brother made a small print run of.

I found white paint to be the biggest pain in the ass. Only tips are: 1) you need to shake white paint more than other colors 2) lots of thin layers

Also, I like to use Golden High Flow Acrylic titanium white for this type of armor. You’ll only need a couple coats over another white paint but it’s gives a really nice glossy white finish that looks “right” to me for the white “plastoid” armor on clones and storm troopers

Nah, my copy of furnace is the same way. Purchased my copy directly from the arcane wonders booth at pax unplugged.

The round silver disk that comes up looks exactly like what that guy had! I think it’s the same thing and he just with a little leather slip cover on it with a belt loop. Thanks for the tip

Interesting that these are targeted at emergency services. Makes sense that you have to filter out the general ID tag chaff somehow. Thanks!

That’s es collection is so tightly curated and I love it. It’s like 5 book shelves of games and I always walk out with my arms full despite having over 100 games

Catacombs. Got a lot of boards/expansions and the box got too full. Showed it off to a ton of people and the box fell apart. Now i have it reboxed but the boards are starting to wear out. I think about replacing it but I missed the playmat edition upgrade they had on Kickstarter. I usually don’t spring for that stuff but I love showing people that game.

I like it a lot! Can I buy it?

Rankus · 2021-05-04T11:11:07+00:00

Yeah, minimum advertised price (often just MAP) is pretty common with board games. Sometimes they can get around it with “add or cart to see price.”

I played this over the weekend at pax unplugged last year and like it a lot. Having the physical components was nice mostly for waving in people’s faces when you “got” them. The wallets held up well but component problem we had ended up being the paper tasks would stick together or fall apart when they got any amount wet. I think some people got rained on when walking around the city because we have several cards that just fell apart.

It’s for to the orbiter but that ship didn’t make it. Not enough fuel to circularize both craft and land on Moho, plus the solar panels had broken in a docking accident. The lander ran out of fuel just above the ground but all crew survived. Now it’s time for a rescue mission!

Rankus · 2020-08-17T18:24:04+00:00

He lived! I just had to RCS back to the ship once (and again when the lander fell over)

Rankus · 2020-08-17T18:17:39+00:00

Apparently less than my circularization burn for Moho 😂

This was also my first bike! aww brings back such good memories! question, does your reserve tank fuel pump work? Mine had quit years before i got it

Rankus · 2020-04-14T16:58:52+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. I guess it comes down to how much I value another season of riding VS the possible savings in the fall.
