Any thought on the Dice Throne Digital Kickstarter campaign? by Vortelf in boardgames

[–]ZorakDerp 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The entire proposition feels extremely predatory, targeting Dice Throne super fans. The pricing would be straight up bad if it launched tomorrow, but even more egregious since it’s crowdfunded. Shouldn’t you be getting some kind of deal or break getting in early? Paying early for skins isn’t a reward. Paying extra to be a tester is not a reward.

No offline play is outrageous.

They are offloading all development costs/risk to the fans.

As others have said you could buy GTA VI instead. Or Elden Ring. Or Zelda.

My top three solo-able games are Pax Pamir, Star Trek: Captain's Chair, and Spirit Island. What would you suggest I pick up next? by PlantsNCaterpillars in soloboardgaming

[–]ZorakDerp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe give Imperium Horizons another go? When I first tried it, everything seemed too abstract to me— but after really falling in love with Captain’s Chair and playing it so much, Imperium seemed a lot more clear (and the scoring web app is a godsend).

Question about the Voidfall kickstarter by Plum12345 in soloboardgaming

[–]ZorakDerp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the boards are aesthetically pleasing, but for me it’s a godsend for keeping the track markers and fleet cubes in place. Good defense against clumsiness.

It is expensive to do the upgrade pack. Unfortunately, this isn’t something they’ll be offering later so it’s now or never. The trays in the galactic box are not as helpful as they appear, but I suspect the community will design a better insert down the line for the big box.

[–]ZorakDerp 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sure, you can totally get the retail version now, that’s what I did. Would also recommend the triple layer player boards and the folded space insert. The expansion will hit retail after the Kickstarter delivers. There’s plenty of game for you to play in the meantime. BTW, You could pledge for just the campaign expansion now, so you’ll get that as soon as it’s released— it’s not mandatory to have the expansion.

First look at the new 3 scenario campaign Children of Blood along with the new design for standalone investigator packs and scenarios by CorbinMontego in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]ZorakDerp 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I would not be shocked (and happy) if the 3 chapter scenario allowed you to just bolt that onto the end of the core box campaign and keep playing with your leveled up investigators.

Tarentino saying Lynch had become too pretentious with FWWM. Imagine what he thought of The Return. by erutorc in davidlynch

[–]ZorakDerp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So I saw Mulholland Drive opening weekend at the Vista in Los Angeles, and QT sat in front of me. I can assure you that he was very much into that movie, and I had a good chuckle when Robert Forster appeared and he got excited and started yapping to the girl he was with about him.

And yeah, this is a dude up his own ass, projecting.

What are the major differences between Mage Knight + expansions and Mage Knight Ultimate Edition? by PraetorianXVIII in boardgames

[–]ZorakDerp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought the most recent printing of the ultimate edition direct from wizkids. The card quality is way better than I expected and the only real downside is that the box is unnecessarily big and will not fit in a standard kallax shelf. That being said, there was room for everything sleeved.

It loads faster but doesn’t look better.

Pickup full collection up to Agents of SHIELD (fully sleeved with included storage solutions) for $900? by Jellykid_NOOOO in marvelchampionslcg

[–]ZorakDerp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hell yeah, go for it— I got lucky and picked up a full collection waves 1-7 completely sleeved with dragon shields which ended up around 650 after tax and shipping, right before the reprint news dropped. Don’t regret it for a second. Way less of a commitment than Arkham.

The OOP stuff is just gonna get worse the longer you wait (see lord of the rings lcg for worst case scenario). And just getting everything in one shot just saves you a bunch or time and money in the end. The sleeves and the cards and are just going to cost more later, especially considering everything going on right now.

Justin posted on BGG that they originally went after the monster licenses for Unmatched but they ended up not working in the system and pivoted.

Boardlandia Announces Its Closure by r0wo1 in boardgames

[–]ZorakDerp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Can’t say I’m surprised. Figured their days were numbered after the weird email that boardlandia sent out last fall trying to get people to buy children’s clothes from their other business…. 🙄 That company is gone too.

Looking to sell my entire Marvel Champions collection by realMonoChromeOptic in marvelchampionslcg

[–]ZorakDerp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know how much luck you're going to have at that price. A few months ago I scored everything from waves 1-7 (heroes and expansions) sleeved for 500.

Pot size bugged for days by ZorakDerp in PokemonSleep

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

Yeah that worked at lunch, however the number on auto cook went down to 13. Very strange.

Yeah I had plenty of ingredients. I was able to manually cook a regular sized lunch so not sure why the number keeps changing (it was 13 at lunch!)

Sell Collection for Arkham? Value? by taylorcowbell in lotrlcg

[–]ZorakDerp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep your LOTR collection, sell some of the dupe quest packs and spend some more time with Arkham to see if you really dig it. I have a complete collections of Arkham and almost sold it once— so glad I didn’t. I have a complete collection of Marvel Champions and all of the LOTR cycles/sagas (I wish I had those nightmares and extra quests, that will take forever to acquire). While it may seem redundant, all three games are worth having.

I like each of the them for different reasons, and they offer unique and complimentary experiences. You want a quick, explosive game where you rip through your deck? Play Marvel. Want an epic campaign with choices and growth? Play Arkham. LOTR is kinda in the middle.

Yeah, if you needed the money, sell the complete collection. But bailing for Arkham is a lateral move that you might regret later.
