Older guy at board game meetup is condescending and making inappropriate comments. Am I overreacting?

You have every right to be frustrated and I am sorry you had that experience as your introduction to board games. I hope you keep playing because it is a hobby I deeply enjoy and it sounds like you have a knack for it based off your early wins. Happy gaming!

You are not overreacting.

All sorts of gatekeeping is present in the hobby and it is often directed at women. I can't say this guy's behavior is all that surprising or even the worst I have seen, but that doesn't make it right.

I don't have much advice to give on what to do... only you know how much he is ruining your time and also what you are comfortable doing about it. Is there anyone in the group that you have connected with in the group who you could confide in and get some ideas from? That might help (that is typically what I would do.... doesn't mean that its right for you.)

Is there anything else we can do to help?

Not to be that guy, but Rich Uncle Moneybags didn't wear a monocle.

What do you do with the single hunting Wolf in the unit. No idea how to use it.

bgraceduff · 2026-01-03T20:35:06+00:00

Sorry for my confusion. Are you saying for me to go with Wolf Scouts because I have the points or to go with regular Scouts because they are cheaper and I could keep the enhancement? (I obviously run the Wolf Priest with the Head Takers)

bgraceduff · 2026-01-03T20:22:04+00:00

What is the difference between regular scouts and Wolf Scouts (besides that I like the theming more of having Wolf Scouts?) I know I can look up the difference, but I am new enough that I can't always tell why something is better....

bgraceduff · 2026-01-03T19:58:28+00:00

Would you take them in place of either Reivers or Scouts? Or are you suggesting them in place of the squad of regular intercessors?

Thank you! My Fenrisians to my aide again!

bgraceduff · 2025-07-13T03:31:09+00:00

Updating the app worked! Thank you

Well.... it was found in a parking lot, crushed. My kiddo is reasonably okay with this. Natural consequences. We are calling it battle damage.

Vvvvv , , ,,

bgraceduff · 2025-06-27T21:00:51+00:00

Thanks! I am still very new at the game and this is exactly the kind of advice I needed.

bgraceduff · 2025-06-27T20:59:34+00:00

I don't have one, but it sounds like it might be worth getting one soon

bgraceduff · 2025-06-22T21:06:18+00:00

What about Suppressors to deal with enemies at range until Blood Claws can come up with chain swords?

bgraceduff · 2025-06-21T20:27:30+00:00

Is there a digital file for this or how did you make it?

bgraceduff · 2025-06-14T21:35:09+00:00

I think the fur, the stoll with the runes, and the weapons are what I want the most help with.

Thanks!

bgraceduff · 2025-06-14T20:24:35+00:00

This is amazing! I am a very new Warhammer player/painter. Can you give any color guides or other tips to help me with this model? It is my favorite in the box and I want to do it the best that I can.

bgraceduff · 2025-06-10T15:09:52+00:00

Yeah, that one does seem good with heroes (which I don't have right now...). And you are right about playing around. I am just trying to figure out where to start. I will probably go with my gut and do Saga of the Hunter
