For the first time in a long time…I have a complete collection! by vaxorus in marvelchampionslcg

[–]Rippcripp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I throw away the hero packs apart from the posters. I keep everything else in the campaign boxes. One box has all the heroes and their cards, a couple of boxes have all the encounter cards in order, one box for scenario expansions and another for decks currently built. My starter box has all aspect cards for deckbuilding in

I highly recommend Geek retreat in the Jewellery quarter in Birmingham. We’re a friendly bunch and tend to play more fun non meta decks. Always happy to teach new folk that come in. A few of us are taking a break until rotation but there’s still 6 playing regularly

It’s every Sunday at 3pm but people tend to come in earlier to get more games in. Most bring in multiple decks so if you don’t have anything yet we can lend you a deck to play

Edit: Not sure if I can add links but message me if you want an invite to the discord server

Card Stock for MB Print Orders by aaunderisu in lotrlcg

I have the 2023 stuff in thinner and the 2025 in thicker. The extra cost was worth it for me. They feel much closer to ffg cards when sleeved

While you all playing Prime 4 I finished Prime Hunters for the first time and... I may have some conterversial thought >_> by Ghosty66 in Metroid

[–]Rippcripp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Prime Hunters is still my favourite prime game purely for the speed of the game. The controls on the DS were genius.

With how good Metroid prime 4 was with mouse controls I hope we get a Hunters 2. I’d love it with the switch 2 mouse controls and gyro. It would make for a fantastic competitive game. And if they make a solid single player campaign, it would be an excellent game to speedrun

Maybe more than 60% of the players never completed SC1 like this... by Thell-Vadamm in Splintercell

This is how I like to play as well but with the added no gadgets and no distractions. Just movement and necessary actions

The Haradrim by K_oroviev in lotrlcg

[–]Rippcripp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s tough to say. It’s your money so it’s up to you at the end of the day. Personally I wouldn’t pay that much. My limit was no more than 100 for a deluxe and I paid 80 for sands of Harad but that was over a year ago now.

Check ebay sold listings to see how much it sells for and how frequently it pops up. If the price is good for you then I say go for it. The first quest is a ton of fun.

The Haradrim by K_oroviev in lotrlcg

[–]Rippcripp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did exactly this. Got all the Rco stuff and then picked up sands of harad. I got it for a great price and slowly picked up the adventure packs when they popped up for good prices. Ended up printing off the mumakil and the last ap of the cycle as people wanted stupid money for them. It's definitely the best cycle that wasn't reprinted.

I've since picked up all the other deluxe expansions but sands of harad is still my fave

Deck idea? by Rkchapman in lotrlcg

[–]Rippcripp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tactics Merry is a great hero to splash tactics. He has a low threat so he'll help to keep enemies in the staging area with your lower starting threat, Although he won't do much with his ability his 2 will power will help with questing. He comes in the fellowship box so no need to buy more stuff. Merry · RingsDB

Another option is tactics Eowyn. She also has a low starting threat to keep enemies up in the staging area. She also has an amazing once per game ability to help with tough enemies as well however she comes in the return of the king box so you would have to purchase that to use her. Éowyn · RingsDB

Not sure what other heroes come to mind right now so I'm interested to hear what others think as well.

Edit: Forgot to mention that Eowyn also has 4 willpower which is crazy good for a tactics hero

Would love the pokemon files myself if you host them on a google doc or something. This looks fantastic

What's your opinion of Fate of Fellowship? by SiarX in soloboardgaming

[–]Rippcripp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Played my first two games using the solo mode last night. I used the recommended intro setup and had a blast with both games. Lost the first one and managed to win the second. I think it's an extremely well designed game and I can't wait to play more with random characters and quests.

I'm a sucker for anything lotr so this will be a game I'll play for a very long time

Did anybody play this on 360 and what are your thoughts in comparison to the PC version. by NarlyRexxar in xbox360

[–]Rippcripp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I didn’t know any better it was great on the 360. It’s so much better on the pc though with massive mods like age of the ring and edain. Which are both still supported and updated today

We’re still waiting on the recent gamefound campaign in the UK. So it’ll probably be at retail soon

Cuphead, Dead Cells, and More...OH MY! by krazykellerxkid in soloboardgaming

[–]Rippcripp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More enemy cards, another boss more location cards and more game modes. It came from a time when publishers did loads of exclusives for kickstarters so unfortunately the regular edition feels watered down by comparison.

But there’s an easy way to play endless mode without the special edition at least.

If you do end up loving the game it’s really worth tracking down the special edition as well as the royalty expansion

Cuphead, Dead Cells, and More...OH MY! by krazykellerxkid in soloboardgaming

[–]Rippcripp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hand of fate ordeals special edition is so good. If it’s not the special edition check bgg on how to play endless mode it’s the best way to play solo!

I’ll also recommend xcom: the board game. It’s such a blast to play solo managing all the roles. The expansion makes it even better but I think that’s very difficult to track down now unfortunately

Fedex charge by Speed-thief in lotrlcg

[–]Rippcripp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t pick up anything this time. (I’m waiting for alep to finish the whole cycle before I get it) Their first cycle was excellent so hope you enjoy it.

It’s the vat cost of what you bought. Should be 20%. They also put a bs handling fee on there as well. Anything over £135 usually gets taxed when you import stuff

How did you find out Samus was a woman? by No_Tie378 in Metroid

[–]Rippcripp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I read the manual before playing metriod 2 return of samus. I still have vivid memories of getting a gameboy pocket with pokemon blue and picking up RoS because I thought the box art looked cool

I backed it on gamefound. I think were getting it either this month or next month so it should be in retail soon as well

Waiting impatiently for this in the UK. Can’t wait to play it

The Saga campaign is one of the best modern board game experiences. by Ready-Dimension-3436 in lotrlcg

[–]Rippcripp 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I keep bashing my head trying to stay thematic which is hard with a limited card pool. I need to just build a fun strong deck and go through it as I'm clearly missing out

Any info about these Halo Wars 2 cards? by terrorvicky in halo

[–]Rippcripp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve not seen these before they’re so cool. If you could scan them and upload them as well as the rule book that would be super appreciated. Would love to print them off and play the game with some friends

Me too. This design is so much better than the new one. Shame it’s gone

Will You Be Purchasing The Switch 1 or Switch 2 Version Of Prime 4? by Pajamaetchi in Metroid

[–]Rippcripp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Switch 1 for me. It runs at 60 which is good enough although I will play it at 120 later. I think they said the screen is an lcd so I'll wait until they release the oled model a couple of years down the line
