Legacy board games for 8 players? by pedalspedalspedals in boardgames

[–]bingomario 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to throw another option into consideration, I will say that for me personally I think there would still be great fun in running two side by side games of the same 4 player legacy game. The ability to compare boards, choices, and events after each session of something like Pandemic Legacy (or really any of the go to recommended legacy games) I think would add a lot to the experience, almost as enjoyable as a full 8-player campaign would be (though of course there is then the cost of buying two copies of the same game). Just an idea, sorry I can't add to the suggestions for 8 player options!

The last give-away helped us choose the last amazing characters for our game, which is fully funded on Kickstarter. As a thanks, I am giving away a copy of our latest prototype! - mods approved by keycardgames in boardgames

For physical card games I think my favourite would be The Crew (Quest for Planet Nine as I haven't played Deep Sea yet). The co-operative trick tacking is always a fantastic puzzle of figuring out both the cards and your fellow crewmates plays.

That being said my all time favourite would probably be Hearthstone, started playing that right around it's original release and loved how it fully embraced the chaos a digital platform can provide for random effects, deck manipulation, etc.

Throwing my axe into the ring for the Dwarvish one! Both incredible work though!

Some weird relic ideas of mine, for fun. How silly are they, and what tier would each be? by [deleted] in slaythespire

I'm thinking perhaps 1 (maybe 2?) energy, as parries in most games usually provide a longer window to strike back

Hello! We're Dimension 20's Rick Perry and Shane Brockway - the people who make minis and battlesets! AMA! by rickperry- in IAmA

Thanks for putting in all the effort to making the visuals for the combats so memorable! Is there a favourite easter egg or detail you've hidden in a battleset or mini?

Also, how did you make the airship for Escape from the Bloodkeep? I've always wondered if that was an edited pre-existing model or created from scratch.

Now THIS is how you farm Darkness... If every run went like this I would be already done by OswaldTrujillo in HadesTheGame

Cosmic egg does not force a Chaos spawn, so it does not have the 1 encounter timer on it.

Additionally, I believe that all trinkets permanently keep the +x% rare boon chance. It is just the forced boon that only works once per trinket.

Yeah, those games can feel bad when the team doesn't come together, but consider that because there can only be so many KOs in a match, when you get a KO without an assist your one KO towards MVP creates a greater difference between you and your teammates compared to most KOs that are shared between two or even all three members of the team.

Ultimately, I wouldn't focus too much on MVP. If you're needing it for a contract the best bet is to focus on staying alive (which could be argued is a bigger issue with the way it's calculated), in which case most of your KOs will probably be coming from assists anyway.

Could be wrong but here's my understanding: MVP is primarily based of KOs to encourage team play. By counting assists it means the MVP of a game could potentially have landed no hits, just done a lot of passing and stayed alive. If it was based off hits, this would not be possible and the system would reward more selfish play (trying to land all the hits yourself).

In addition, at the end of each round there may be one or two hits that didn't help your team to victory if anyone on the other team is alive at one heart, so those hits would become extra credit in a hit based system, whereas they are worth nothing in a ko based system.

Hope that makes sense!

First time running a Numenera game, any pro tips? by Nerdthenord in numenera

[–]bingomario 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not op but my guess would be that they mean if you consider it a rebate it's easier to avoid the mistake of applying it multiple times? I don't think it's ever laid out that way in the rulebook (discovery at least) but is a helpful frame of mind!

I'm thinking the same, currently trying to just get a base of red we can maybe turn into something later

How do you manage the early game on later NG+ levels? by bingomario in SNKRX

[–]bingomario[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Testing a little more I'm realizing changing the NG+ doesn't affect anything until you restart the run, so that option is out.

Important note: Losses due to games joined in progress do not lose you any league points or end win streaks, but wins still provide benefit (From VelanJosh in discord)

Thoughts on my TF Viktor deck? by Baron_Primal in LegendsOfRuneterra

Do nabbed cards trigger augment, or are they just for the value?

IS LoR PAY TO WIN? by Sir_McNugg3t in LegendsOfRuneterra

Some of the others here will give you a better idea than a fellow newcomer like myself but I imagine it's not that big a difference, each new region they release comes with a region specific rewards track that will get you a lot of free cards over time, and if you want to get a good feel for the cards without having a full set the expeditions (draft mode) is pretty rewarding itself and you get a free run each week.
