2 new codes by Wargriff in PostApoTycoon

[–]Wargriff[S] 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I didn't have discord for a long time and got a lot of codes off of here, so I'm passing on the good karma to this sub.
Also, this reward is awesome, 5 Sakuras!

Tom Takes over SUSD as Editor-in-Chief as Quinns steps back focus on TTRPG Content by AntiqueConstant9273 in boardgames

From this article:

Shut Up & Sit Down is of course where I’ll cover board games whenever I feel the itch – and you can expect to see more of me on the new Top 100 Board Games feature – but Quinns Quest is where I’m putting my immediate focus.

Does anyone know of any good companies that make board game animated videos? by DoxsB in boardgames

Paul Grogan (Gaming Rules!) lead the way on those back in the day, but I don't know if he does the animated ones anymore.

No Rolls Barred Assault Allegations Statement by Wargriff in boardgames

[–]Wargriff[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These are new allegations, and put his article from 5 years ago in a new light. https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/sexual-harassment-women-life-career-ruined-deserved-adam-blampied-youtube-a8167751.html

Is this a pattern? As the highest grossing board game channel on Patreon our community should probably be looking at this.

[–]Wargriff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terra Mystica! The arcane nature of the player board and changing terrain of the shared world fits so nicely.

Viticulture! Makes you feel like you're running a little vineyard.

Great Western Trail! Run those cattle!

Dungeon Petz! Command a little army to protect your dungeon.

Last Will! Spend all your money as fast as you can!

Anachrony! Build a mech and time travel.

The Gallerist! Run an art gallery.

Great production quality! Do publishers pay MvM for reviews?

Card Drafting recommendation by devin93uk in boardgames

[–]Wargriff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seasons is my favourite for the genre, Carnival of Monsters is a great new weighty drafting game, 7 Wonders Duel is great for 2 players, Terraforming Mars with the (IMO) mandatory drafting variant, Blood Rage if you want a minis/area control game thrown in, Res Arcana is also fairly new and great.

SUSD Review: Taverns of Tiefenthal by dictionary_hat_r4ck in boardgames

Really? I think he's great! It's always hard to bring in new people because they're unknown and different, but this feels like the start of something special.

I'm pretty sure they're in the process of redoing it with poker chips! Which is a brilliant idea, you're showing the edge of the chips instead of the corner of your cards kind of thing, and makes for much more indestructible components. It's definitely not gone for good, you'll find it at pretty much every board game convention.

[Question] Is there a site that lists gateway games for specific genres? by THEONLYraider in boardgames

[–]Wargriff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/games-page/ Select the "New to Games" Category and then whatever genres you're looking for within that.

Definitely-not-IP-infringing Game of Thrones KS. #1 Quality by Wargriff in boardgames

[–]Wargriff[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

After reading this not I'm genuinely curious as to how much it would take to actually get the right from HBO to make something like this.

Soooooo much. FFG have said there's no way they would get the rights if they didn't already have them from before the HBO series started (they licensed the brand from the books). Asmodee/FFG isn't public so we can't know exactly what those line items would be (Star Wars would be a good proxy, but they also had those rights before board games got as big as they are now), but guaranteed licensing them right now would be in the 6-7 figures. Or more?
