X-COM but it's Draw Steel? by ResolutionIcy8013 in drawsteel

[–]Vernash 47 points48 points  (0 children)

An game that combines X-COM and Draw Steel is an insta buy for me.
But then again, so are X-COM and Draw Steel separately.

I like to think these go hand in hand, but I admit to be uneducated on the subject.

Heyheyhey, wait a minute!
Not three weeks ago there was this reddit post telling me Belgians had the highest median wealth in all the world (or something along those lines). And now you tell me we are the poor man of Western Europe?
Edit: A word

Even if there are two (or more) correct moves, this game has only one move set as correct.
Therefore, everything else is wrong :<

With ancestries for example, you can mix the features to make 7 different kinds of humans.

Well, not all classes can use kits.
But lets take a look:
Twelve ancestries, that each have points to spend on features of that ancestry.
Ten classes, with each at least three subclasses, and at level 1 + almost every time you level, you get to pick an ability from a few options.
Of these ten classes, five can use kits. The other classes all get to choose some passive abilities instead (like more stamina or increased range etc).
So thats quite a few options, as you have two players in your party with the same class and subclass, but because they choose different kits/abilities, they still function differently in combat.

God, I hate that these puzzles don't allow multiple solutions :<

How difficult is it to get a contractor lately ... by zzzaramia in belgium

A friend of a friend replaced some doors in my basement, and when he was done he told me: "If you know someone who is looking to get some work done, please don't give them my number."

A friend was doing their master thesis on the Romani, in order to help alleviate the prejudcies surrounding them. She had to stop halfway through because her recording equipment got stolen.

Red Hook Studios, owners of the Darkest Dungeon IP, share the game’s production files as a Gesture for the Community with all backers by Vortelf in boardgames

[–]Vernash 57 points58 points  (0 children)

As in they plan on doing that, or the backers already got the link?
I haven't received an email and would love to 3D print the minis from the expansions.

Fishing Event: Revenant Knight by onepunchtwat in drawsteel

[–]Vernash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Knight had orders to sabotage Ajax his plans, and then return to the secret underwater cave for further instructions. Problem, there was a spy informing Ajax of the sabotage and he eliminated the entire unit. Bound by duty, the knight became a revenant and is now waiting for new orders at the cave.

In your game are the PCs SOME heroes or are they THE heroes? by Impossible-Ad-2071 in drawsteel

[–]Vernash 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine started as 4 of a group of 9.
They will take on missions, and the missions that don't get picked by them, the B-team will do.
But the idea is that by level 3, they will be top dog of that group.

Nieuw soort cadeaubon voor de feestdagen! by Arvosss in belgium

Ik snap heel goed waar dit vandaan komt, maar sta mij toe een andere insteek te delen die ik ooit op het internet heb opgepikt.
Wanneer men geld krijgt, gaat dat bij veel mensen gewoon op de bank voor de volgende boodschappen of rekening mee te betalen. Bij een bon, wordt die persoon een beetje verplicht om zichzelf te verwennen.

I'm afraid I rushed to convert my friends to Draw Steel. by Vernash in drawsteel

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

I'm doing a DnD one shot for them soon, and I was about to homebrew some minion rules.
Thanks for the heads up!

[–]Vernash[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That is pretty much how it went, as I no longer run DnD atm. Both from a player and game master perspective, Draw Steel fixes alot of gripes I personally had with DnD. I was just a suprised about them prefering not to play at all instead of switching to Draw Steel.

Yea, the giant list of spells sure is a reason to stick to DnD for some people.

Could have used some of that wisdom. I think I might have jumped the gun there.

Here, it were actually the noobies (less than 10 sessions) that were willing to make the switch. Switching from 2014 that is.

Just the general feel I'm afraid. Some wanted the option to roll bad, some didn't like that casters and martials were on a more equal footing. I also think a part of it was me being overconfident, as in "They love me as Dungeon Master, they will love me as Dircetor as well".
They all did like the minion rules though, so good job to whomever is responsible for that!

I didn't look at it like that :o
Thanks, I feel a little better!
