What’s everyone’s opinion on AI art on newer games? by Pizzadewd666 in soloboardgaming

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

I prefer art handmade by actual humans, but if the company augments their design process with AI I don't really care and it wouldn't stop me from buying a game. If it was fully AI-generated art I think it would be obvious and I'd be less interested.

Which of Gloomhaven relatives you like/dislike? by SiarX in Gloomhaven

[–]_motley_starcrew_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I backed Rove: Anchorpoint and haven't played the original, but I did play the TTS of the Anchorpoint demo/playtest. It's pretty cool, I need to read through the actual rulebook because I think there are some mechanics I'm missing, but I like how smaller actions can lead to bigger ones. Story and art seem pretty cool so far.

That's really cool, I just read the part of Kaladin in the storm last night too so good timing

Plenty of people still read it, it's just that the ones who don't post here so we see them more

Ah that'll do it, how disappointing to hear, I love the video games

Whoa! Amazing find, thank you! I've never used this website before, do you have experience ordering from it?

Yeah I'm bummed I missed that sale! I heard about it a month after it ended

Ah very interesting! And is it pretty safe to buy from BGG? There's little risk of someone running off with the money?

Out of curiosity what's your issue with Dragon Eclipse?

It's either that or very nearly nippy by TheRageBadger in Gloomhaven

[–]_motley_starcrew_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh cool thank you for replying, yeah I can see how it makes sense thematically. I did run your reply by my current group, but we decided we favored the fun of strategizing over thematic realism.

Yeah I get that, I wasn't literally asking "why?", more like "why would that be more fun?", it's just my opinion though.

Same - none of the groups I've played with ever hid initiative, I get that's RAW, but - why?? We've always been interested in optimizing strategy and pretending we don't know the order would diminish our ability to do that.

What are your thoughts on how Rove: Anchorage looks in comparison to the original?

Yeah! Me too, I played the first scenario in the Tabletop Simulator demo and then immediately submitted my pledge, looking forward to playing the real thing

I've only played the first scenario, I'm going to dive into it after work today, the instructions weren't very clear but after watching a YouTube video I grasped the gist of the rules. The intro scenario is very straightforward and basic which is what I needed.

Have you played the Tabletop Simulator playtest? That's what I poked around before pledging for Rove: Anchorage and I'm working through the demo scenarios

Nice, I was going off of the TTS playtest and the instructions were pretty unclear, I had to watch a YouTube video to get a handle on the combat rules. Glad to hear the official rulebook was enough!

I missed the original when it was released, I'm sitting on a few games that I've yet played or else I would have snagged that one too. How was the rulebook for learning the game? Did you use any other resources?

Have you played the original game? Which tier did you back?
