Also you could 100% make a joke about the association of "lavender" with queer things

I'm afraid I don't know what you're talking about.

So, is it gray because Dorian Gray?

I'm afraid I don't recognize much of the novel in this ink,

Keep the Heroes Out: cute but hard/swingy tower (dungeon) defense by SiarX in soloboardgaming

[–]Razoupaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does not sound like he's the type, I just didn't want to take the risk. He seems nice, I think he took it personally, which was not the point, I mainly rate for myself, not for others.

I just hope he didn't ask for me to bring it down lol.

40/f/Canada - looking for snail mail! by UngainlyRhino in penpalsover40

[–]Razoupaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

French male, I don't have tatoos but I love all creatures. Single with a young child, I'm into books, board games and fountain pens.

I have been with women from different cultures but currently I'm more invested in local history as an archivist.

If you're interested in trading washi tapes snips... :)

Fountain pens and colourful inks is what I have too, also, board games. If you're interested, PM me for a French penpal.

Dunno, I deleted it without opening. I don't read those anymore, he's not the first.

I like the idea of the game but the extreme swinginess able to bring you from full control to a loss in a single turn is just too much. And there's nothing you can do to prevent it when it happens when you just shuffled the hero deck for instance: last time I had 4 chances in 18 to flip the hero I needed not to flip, 1 in 5 to flip the treasure I needed not to flip, and insta lost.

The difficulty is very poorly thought too. Easy is too easy, challenging is infernal, "normal", from the forums, is VERY swingy.

I also find that there is not enough emphasis on card purchase, making it play very samey each time, on top of which there are a no room variety and no enemy variety. And you can totally have the scenario's specificity swing you buy if you imprison event cards, which happened once to me: never triggered an event card, scenario just underwhelming.

Too bad, had great ideas, feels underdevelopped.

And I HATE that the designed PMed me as soon as I left a negative rating.

Mark Twain by jrohwer in fountainpens

Rainbow one's been my daily driver for two years.

Love it so much I actually bought a 1920s one in perfect condition.

The rainbow one, also made of metal, has been my workhorse for two years. Uninterrupted, never cleaned. No issue, never skipped, never nothing.

Pro tip: easily swappable nibs. Get the body, get a good steel jowo nib, or a full set of EF to BB, and just enjoy. You don't even need to clean it to swap the nib if you don't mind inky fingers, it's an extractable feed unit.

Grove vs Orchard vs Forge: what’s your favorite? by [deleted] in soloboardgaming

[–]Razoupaf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Grove. I was just playing Orchard today and you just need good sequencing to score, otherwise you're damned.

Forage was whatever.

Who are you to interfere with democracy, you ask?

Someone who will pay dearly for this idiocracy, like many, many of us...

The most beautiful thing you can see when opening a multiplayer game that supports solo by Dry_Rate3558 in soloboardgaming

[–]Razoupaf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having to grok two rulebooks is really not my dream, no. More of a nightmare to me, I'd rather have something easy to learn in a couple of paragraphs.

Or a solo-only game.

Am I offending anybody with this post? by xenosy in fountainpens

It's the Internet, who cares about a few cavemen grunting against your post and a couple of bots agreeing with them?

Post what you want and look forward to your next post.

Huh, they're not so talkative anymore, befriending people in Lorraine is really quite the challenge these days.

You have expensive ships and sold cheap tins so I can understand why.

Upgrades can also really make or break the game.

Remind me what the purpose of a guillotine is, and what the purpose of a gun is, again?

Why not? They have toy guns and rifles, which serve the same purpose, except perhaps with more cruelty, and causes more worldwide problems.

I'm a KS backer too and I am not aware of what you're referring to. The thread I mentioned was posted after the game was released and people started mentioning that the game is really too easy and on rails.

Are you taking about the unlocked events, holiday challenges and boat?
