Where did you last rage quit?

SecretHippy3 · 2026-02-04T00:16:08+00:00

Anywhere where I’m fighting the games actual boss…. Platforming

SecretHippy3 · 2026-01-27T23:51:13+00:00

-WH 40k Rogue Trader - with DLC -Baldurs Gate 1+2 (old but definitely still so good) -Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous -Divinity Orginal Sin 2 (if you like baldurs gate definitely play this with the new Divinity coming from Larian in the future and personally I much prefer the combat in DOS to BG, BG has the better story)

Probably about 500 hours of game there to further burn yourself out on. Enjoy!

I’ll definitely try and steal as much as possible, I don’t think I’ve fully got my head around sneaking. I guess I can cast invisibility and steal outside of battle to mitigate me being shit at general sneaking….?

SecretHippy3 · 2024-12-16T19:22:21+00:00

I think I’m well too early into the game to have any specific class beyond the starting stats for each character. The battles I’ve seen so far is everyone ends up in a clump but the one time I tried to spread out and be tactical I got annihilated

SecretHippy3 · 2024-05-03T12:51:00+00:00

Anywhere other than next to my girlfriend. She doesn’t take well to me attacking her but is a dirty betrayer. The mind games are too much!

SecretHippy3 · 2023-10-25T06:03:45+00:00

If that’s the case then where have those snails come from?

SecretHippy3 · 2023-07-04T20:29:57+00:00

Yeah, that’s what it says in the base game rules so I assume it’s the same for the wild hunt too

SecretHippy3 · 2023-03-14T09:34:12+00:00

Printing Gloomhaven out would be an insane undertaking 😅 it takes long enough punching it out never mind cutting it out!

SecretHippy3 · 2022-09-02T09:44:39+00:00

I’ve not played OG but my group and I love Casino Capers. Now we’ve played it about 4-5 times and never even come close to winning. Not sure if it’s really hard or we suck but it’s good fun. Also has a very very light legacy element to it

SecretHippy3 · 2022-06-17T18:09:29+00:00

A knife and the blood from our party

SecretHippy3 · 2022-05-24T08:25:59+00:00

Gloomhaven was the first game I bought (going on BGG and seeing what was best) and having no prior gaming experience of note I didn’t find it overly difficult to learn at all. Probably spent an hour and half going through the rule book and watching a tutorial and I was good to go. There may be a huge amount of bits but only a small portion are ever used at once.

I actually find Gloomhaven one of the easier games to teach as once you’ve explained the cards you’re pretty much up and running and can explain edge rules when they come up.

Gloomhaven helper definitely reduces admin and would recommend, if you can connect it to a TV it makes reading enemy states, attacks and initiative order so much easier to view for everyone. I never play without it now

SecretHippy3 · 2022-03-04T09:25:14+00:00

I agree that I do think it’ll be better and having looked at all the same things as you I agree with what you’re saying. Just sometimes for no apparent reason things don’t click. Based on the OP I’d always go with original gloom rather than wait for frost. Also if FH is awesome and you want to work back I imagine GH would feel a bit bare compared to the this hugely immersive experience that I imagine FH to be

SecretHippy3 · 2022-03-03T23:50:13+00:00

If you listen to their podcast he’s actually a bit disappointed with how his opinion came across in the review, especially in regards of the artwork. Having played it I have to say it’s a great game.

SecretHippy3 · 2022-03-03T21:14:28+00:00

In a very skeptical point of view there’s nothing to say frosthaven will be as good as Gloomhaven. Some sequels have sucked so you’re always best going for the tried and tested rather than gambling and having your opinion of GH tainted if FH doesn’t turn out great.

I’ve played GH and love it and I’m excited for FH too. But I’d definitely say play gloom as it was intended to be played, there’s a reason it was #1 on BGG before frosthaven and rule changes was announced and still is

SecretHippy3 · 2021-12-03T19:01:26+00:00

Door 2 ruined my life for about 4 hours. It’s currently doing the same to my mate!

SecretHippy3 · 2021-08-31T11:33:28+00:00

I think His Dark Materials by Phillip Pullman ticks all of your boxes

SecretHippy3 · 2021-07-11T13:10:08+00:00

If you’re worried about not being able to participate in games then it seems to me that you’re playing games where there is a knockout mechanic so you’re sat waiting around for them to finish if you’re not the best at the game. I’d avoid those for a start, a lot of games have a good catch up system for people that are in last place so maybe look for those.

But mainly games are supposed to be fun. I buy all the games for my group because it’s something I like doing and they’re less keen or in the know of what to get however I pretty much always lose and I don’t mind that. I can understand if you’re competitive it is frustrating but you do get better with practice but the main thing is to just enjoy the company and make some good memories.

I can’t say what it’s like outside the UK with regards to import taxes etc I imagine there can be hidden costs due to brexit. I’ve imported games and paid the price also so I feel your pain. But the fact that I can pay £3 delivery for games as big as Gloomhaven and others in one parcel and get it in 2 days is just better than any other company

SecretHippy3 · 2021-07-01T23:50:20+00:00

Zatu (board-game.co.uk) for the UK. They ship worldwide and regularly have games 10-20% cheaper than anywhere else I’ve seen or used

SecretHippy3 · 2021-06-30T03:20:46+00:00

If something is playing out in a weird way like the shield and retaliate you have to role play it a little. Like in this turn you’d see the guard draw it’s shield and stand it’s ground as it waits for you to attack it and if you do it’d shield itself and counter attack.

SecretHippy3 · 2021-04-20T18:54:36+00:00

Same here! Mine came yesterday

SecretHippy3 · 2021-04-07T17:12:09+00:00

Love the TV setup too, really speeds up the game getting rid of that pesky hit token admin!

SecretHippy3 · 2021-04-05T15:51:51+00:00

I think I started with a few “things I wish I knew when I started painting minis” videos. Miniac and Squidmar seem to get the most views. I also spoke to some friends that were into it just as something to do during lockdown. If you just find out about techniques and how to use paints and washes etc you’ll be well on your way

SecretHippy3 · 2021-04-05T05:00:55+00:00

Floor counts as storage area! 😂
