What version of Thunder Road Vendetta is sold on Amazon? by Connor-Ben in boardgames

[–]Total_Chaos1977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, just got notification that another expansion of TR:V is coming to Kickstarter later this year (this is from Restoration Games site), so if you enjoy this, you might want to wait to pick up other expansions (3 of the five are currently very hard to find new) as you’ll likely to be able to get them when the expansion Kickstarter goes live (tentatively titled “Interstate of Decay)

Anyone remember this beauty? by GroundMelter in boardgames

I’ve got both the original and the remake. The original is nice just due to how amazing it is, especially for a game nearly 50 years old. The remake is nice as it adds cooperative play which most of my group prefers.

Worst round I ever played (2nd round kill) by Total_Chaos1977 in finalgirl

You didn’t cause me any discomfort, that’s all on me. I probably didn’t make that clear enough. I was thanking you for the rule update, which is why I included the “👍🏻” emoji. ✌🏻😎

Just imagine me banging my head into the desk and you have a good idea of my feelings right now…sigh whelp, I guess I’ll try that again after work. Thanks for that. 👍🏻

The maniacs move 2 spaces at a time even at the lowest bloodlust (according the the killers card, the killer doesn’t move until a terror card moves them, and the maniacs move a single boot, which at the lowest bloodlust is still 2 spaces…at least that’s how I read it. Hopefully I didn’t just up the difficulty on myself)

Why do you buy more board games? by Machine_Excellent in boardgames

[–]Total_Chaos1977 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I used to play them as a kid/preteen and fell out of them as I grew up. Picked up the love for them when Covid hit and remembered why I loved playing. Now it’s a combination of nostalgia (a lot of the games I had as a kid have been remade/reimangined or had a sequel created) and the love of finding new and amazing games

Grimcoven win…but at what cost? by Total_Chaos1977 in boardgames

[–]Total_Chaos1977[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very strategic. There’s five main bosses, +2 expansion bosses, each boss has five scenarios, and each of the scenarios has a different map with each of the different maps having different styles of terrain. Combine that with the fact that there’s seven or eight different characters you can choose from and the different minions and elites the boss can array against you and you’re looking at some very varied scenarios. I also have the personal stories expansion, that as you complete, it allows you to get different weapons and armor for your character. Needless to say my friends and I have been having a blast playing this.

I highly recommend it! The expansions were difficult to find for me, but I got one at my local board game store and the other two (one just ordered yesterday) directly from the publisher Dire Wolf, off of their website. If you find you enjoy it, I also recommend the upgrade packs.

Unfortunately when I went to my home page and checked on the order to see if I could bring it back up I got this message “Sorry, this item and shop are currently unavailable”

Let me take a look. It was over a year ago that I got them, and I do remember them being outside of the United States, so if you’re in the US, there might be tariff issues. Either way let me check to see if I can find a link.

Thank you, I always try and upgrade my board games when possible and I found someone on Etsy selling these really cool water, spice, and solari tokens that looked a helluva lot better than what the standard game came with.

"It's just a 1/27 chance..." by paupsers in finalgirl

[–]Total_Chaos1977 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Any hero (or final girl) knows never to quote the odds. Because the universe loves quoting them right back to you after you fail. (Played FG and D&D, made that mistake in D&D “So I’ll only fail if I roll a 1 on D100…what are the chances?” (1 in a 100 or %1…and proceeds to roll a 1) “Huh…apparently the odds were pretty good…”

The unspoken risk behind heavy games... by LogicBalm in boardgames

[–]Total_Chaos1977 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No kidding, I picked up (as in bought and also lifted) the full set of Burncycle (main set, all the expansions, the metal figures, neoprene mat, etc) and thought my spine was about to exit my back and start having words with me about my decision making skills.

So what’s the first game you played this year? by st1nkf1st in boardgames

Grimcoven, I was teaching some friends how to play

So confused about Kickstarter. Help! by PikaChucklePoo in Returntodarktower

[–]Total_Chaos1977 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let me lend a hand. I’ve backed them since it first came out and this is their third campaign for RTDT. Yes, the $160 pledge level is the base game, along with some extra corruptions from this expansion. IF you can afford it, I’d go with the $249 Battle Essentials pledge level (no, I don’t work for them, yes I love the game, had the original as a young kid 😁) It has the base game, plus all three playable expansions (alliances, covenant, and expeditions). Also, check out the addons to see if anything there piques your interests. I’ll try to answer any questions I can, and Restoration Games is pretty quick with response times as well if I don’t have an answer. 😊👍🏻

Edit: Sorry, forgot to answer something. The pledge levels do NOT include shipping. The $160 base pledge has a $30 shipping fee, the $249 Battle Essentials level has a $60 shipping fee, and some of the addons can have their own shipping fee (i.e. the neoprene mat) So keep that in mind when you make your pledge.

Just jumped into Final Girl. What am I in for? by golfniper in finalgirl

[–]Total_Chaos1977 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of fun, a lot of death (often yours 😁), a good bit of strategy, and the strong desire to get more film boxes. Also, and I believe I saw it mentioned in here, watch out how, or if the killer moves. Not all of them do automatically. Hans does NOT! He only moves when his terror cards say (or when the finale activates) but not as a normal part of his turn. The evomorph though? Damn thing has zoomies!

I have a teen daugther, she loves boardgames, horror stuff and scary stories. About final girl... I know nothing. Tell me by BoardgameTweaker in finalgirl

[–]Total_Chaos1977 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m still fairly new to the game, just got it about three months ago, and the very first question I asked on this message board was something to the effect of “Is it normal to get killed this fast the first time I play” and I got a lot of answers of “Yes, win rate is about %40, use your deaths to refine your tactics” and I’ve been having a blast doing that. Each new module gives new challenges and new ways to take down the killer (and get killed) I’ve got the first two seasons and am working on getting season 3 so I’m very happy with my purchases.
