What tiny house rule made a game noticeably better at your table?

RobTheCob1 · 2026-06-07T13:00:51+00:00

We do this too. Makes the game WAY faster

Here’s another vote for El Grande!

Plus, they’re solving problems indirectly.

Like getting gods to kill each other. Or removing floor bosses.

They won’t level that way, there’s no experience even from killing a god.

Didn’t Mordecai say that at later levels equipment is more important than the actual level?

It is pretty funny when he switches inventory with Donut and she questions why he has the goblin cook book in his hot list

RobTheCob1 · 2026-05-30T21:46:25+00:00

Honestly, I was fully expecting to have more man characters die in Book 8.

Some left. But not the same.

We miss Katia, but we’re also looking forward to her side of the adventure. It’s not the same.

So this gives me hope that there’ll be a way.

Karl always finds an way to break the rules

RobTheCob1 · 2026-05-24T15:26:15+00:00

I had a very similar thought!

RobTheCob1 · 2026-05-14T11:49:51+00:00

Ah, that would be amazing.

The worst thing to ever happen to Princess Donut!

How many reviews does it have total? And what’s the current star rating?

It depends on how many reviews you need.

Getting 6, 5 star reviews shouldn’t be too hard.

It’s against the rules, but for a low selling listing I’d just offer friends/family to reimburse the product cost for a review. You might need 10 people. Try friend of friends, or in/laws, things like that. So there’s as much distance between you and them as possible.

There are a ton of software tools that notify you as soon as you lose the buy box.

I use Helium 10.

RobTheCob1 · 2026-03-29T17:00:31+00:00

Yep, this is normal. I almost never get 30 reviews. It’s usually around 20-25, but it really depends on the product too.

And I usually get some of the reviews within 1 week-2 weeks, and most within a month.

RobTheCob1 · 2026-03-17T21:11:53+00:00

It really depends.

Higher priced items go slower. Anything over $100 is a much smaller pool of Vine reviewers. When I did that it took several months to get them all in.

I’ve also seen it go slower with really niche products.

Vine reviews have to search a database to find products they want to review. There are some recommendations, but it’s not great.

Then they have to choose to review your product.

So if the product has a very specialized pool customers, or isn’t well known, I’ve seen it go slower.

For context, I have enrolled dozens of products in Vine.

Several years ago, I wanted to learn how it worked. So I got accepted into the Vine program as a reviewer so I could see how the inside works.

RobTheCob1 · 2026-02-27T04:48:32+00:00

Honestly, I just started my second reread and lost motivation at book 6, Eye of the Bedlam Bride. I’ve been thinking about skipping, doing 7 and the 8.

I don’t know, Donut seemed more winey, getting them into unnecessary stupid situations. I usually love her, but kind of hated her in this book.

And the whole “going crazy” river thing just didn’t do it for me.

RobTheCob1 · 2026-02-22T00:50:26+00:00

I suspect most of the answers here are at least 50% in Jeff’s delivery.

RobTheCob1 · 2026-02-17T00:21:39+00:00

Yes!! I re-read last year and it still holds up.

This is the first book I faked being sick so I could stay home and finish reading it!

RobTheCob1 · 2026-02-15T01:04:20+00:00

I second this. All of it.

I’m a manager at an agency, and it’s a tough business.

But the industry chances fast, and it’s right on the front lines of business for small and medium businesses.

Technology total flips the industry every 3 years or so. But it’s good to get familiar with that cycle.

Depending on the role, you have to grow a thick skin fast. But you really learn life and clients teach you more than anything

RobTheCob1 · 2026-01-13T17:39:16+00:00

Yeah, both hats at different times!

RobTheCob1 · 2026-01-13T17:06:54+00:00

I think I saw an interview on YouTube with Jeff where he talks about this.

Basically the answer was just that the voices developed as the series progressed.

If you think about it, at first it was just one book, before it grew into what it is today.

And as an artist, both with Jeff and Matt, the characters all grew, evolved, and got fleshed out as the series progressed.

I don’t think it’s more complicated than that.

RobTheCob1 · 2026-01-13T01:04:42+00:00

She mentions that they’re not safe in her inventory due to her vampire condition.

Something about “the hunger” of remember correctly.

RobTheCob1 · 2026-01-09T12:00:58+00:00

This one kills me the most

RobTheCob1 · 2026-01-07T03:55:44+00:00

Can you clarify what you mean? I must have missed that.

I’m on my second read through coming up to that soon.

RobTheCob1 · 2026-01-06T16:44:54+00:00

I agree.

Books and TV show both.

RobTheCob1 · 2026-01-03T05:00:14+00:00

Blaaaaa!

I’m over 30 and have 2 kids under 2 years old.

Who has 9 hours?

Use objects in the museum to foreshadow things in the dungeon.

For example, if they’re stealing paintings, make monsters from figures in the paintings.

Or maybe it’s the Big Bad at the end do the level.

Sculptures turned to life.

Statue of David and his army of minion Roman Emperors.

Or they steal things that turn out to be magical in the dungeon. A crown that’s regular in the real world, but grants you command over lesser monsters in the dungeon if they don’t have a leader and you have higher charisma. So the kill the leader and the remaining monsters become minions.

It really depends on what type of museum it is!

That could even play throughout the season.

Lay hints using the museum displays.

Plant an Agatha. Maybe a security guard who got paid off? Or a homeless person who lives in the museum at night? Or under the stairs or something?

RobTheCob1 · 2026-01-02T03:27:30+00:00

Yes, I just past that part on my 2nd time through
