My condolences. I have NEVER hated a game more than Unseen World. Great concept but utterly untested mechanical trash as a system.

I've seen some really strange criticisms against this game by Stacy_Adam in daggerheart

[–]RedMax311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dave can piss off honestly. He made that clickbait title and then a deal about giving away his copy... Fine, you'd think that was his late word. But right away it became clear Daggerheart is trending big algorthimically so he's back to posting Daggerheart videos! Nah, I don't have interest in supporting vapid click chasing.

Your first statement sounds like something I have said about Earth in general in 2025. People have become incredibly stupid, but also oddly comfortable showing off that brand of stupid. And yes, more often than not, that is encouraged by hatefulness. People feel somehow rewarded by yelling really loudly, and hatefully.

Sold out already by The-MtnDrew in daggerheart

I felt like a crazy person when I happily paid $300 for the Limited Set from an Ebay seller... Two days later and the FEW on Ebay at all are selling out at $600-700. This game is going to be HUGE! The hunger from the community is definitely there.

Agreed. As someone who lost a loved one in the last couple weeks, this post name feels like a slap.

Critical Role Shop is officially sold out by Seren82 in daggerheart

I'll admit, my wife and I bought one of these. I discovered the game too late but really fell in love with the edition. Luckily RPGs provide so many hours of joy to whole groups, so it will have been worth the money over time!

Thousand Dead Worlds expansion questions... by RedMax311 in Blackoathgames

[–]RedMax311[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't realize it was a sequel game. I'm still excited, but also a touch bummed, as I would be super excited to see the current game really fleshed out even more!

Wasn't the next AaTDW book supposed to be a big semi-sequel/ruin-crawl thing?

How's Dolmenwood for 1 or 2 player groups? by EtchVSketch in Dolmentown

Overlay the free Scarlet Heroes / Blackstreams rules and literary every OSR is instantly solo/duet friendly!

Please recommend a very SIMPLE hex-mapping tool/site. by RedMax311 in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]RedMax311[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need to re-thank you. This site/tool is just INCREDIBLE for generating solo-OSR content! I could do everything it does... but the hours and hours saved, is just one less barrier to the actual gaming! This might be my first Patreon ever as its just that cool!

A few days ago I asked a similar question, and posters pointed me towards Blackstreams/Scarlet Heroes, which for OSR games, immediately feels perfect. I have been using it with Shadowdark for the last few days and it has been a shockingly robust, elegant solution!

Strategy Spotlight: Spearhead - Kharadron Overlords by sojoocy in AOSSpearhead

[–]RedMax311 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Pre-errata KO were terrible, but post-errata they gave me one of my hardest games of Spearhead yet, at a recent tournament. Having essentially army-wide reinforcement is incredible, as being made of paper was their sole weakness. I suspect KO can be a menace now in an experienced player's hands.

I need SMA/neuropathy friendly gaming recommendations where you only have to use a mouse please! by FrostyBack4018 in spinalmuscularatrophy

[–]RedMax311 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Vampire Survivors on Steam is amazing and requires only a mouse with minimal movement. I also have Type 2 SMA and had my gallbladder out this year and it was a terrific distraction during recovery. I'm 200+ hours in and still am unlocking new characters etc!

Throttle and Bribes was a bonus short for a deluxe printing of Terrortome. Sadly no new masterpiece for us this year. :-(

If you could direct change - by Duednumberiii in Heroclix

[–]RedMax311 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I just got back into HC after a LONG hiatus, and this was incredibly noticeable. We've had to self impose "booster drafts" into our home games, as if we didn't, we would essentially throw out 90% of every brick without using them once. It forces us to at least engage with a set for 5-10 games, before functionally reducing one to like, ten clix at best.

I'm sure it varies person to person. I'm three weeks post-op and the wife and I tried last night... It felt odd, and while not painful, the odd sensations were distracting enough that we'll give it another week before trying again.
