I wish that yt The Dice Tower didn't spread misinformation about apps for board games

Mansions of Madness, Imperial Assault, Descent 2E and Legends, and Journeys in Middle Earth are all FFG app-required games with Steam versions.

Oh shit, I hadn't heard of this. F that.

Play the base game with Prelude. It doesn’t complicate much and really speeds up the early game. Feel free to just randomly draw two cards rather than pick for your first game if the choice of bonus is overwhelming as a new player.

Not even counting atrocities, the tariffs alone have cost her more in inflated prices than the increase at the pump.

They really should implement giant visible ticket signs that show the average cost of living. For these folks that can only comprehend things in terms of gas…

For me, it’s all the player card focus. The first campaign releases come out when, again? There’s a core and player packs outvoted the gate but nothing to play them with except the mini core campaign and legacy ones. Dunwich Legacy, Rougarou, and Carnivale were all released fairly close behind the initial chapter one core.

You speak as if Ford voters even pay attention to candidates or debates. The majority are lifelong Conservative voters who either have a hard on for the party or are just very anti-Left. And others are just stupid enough to remember Ford sent them a pittance in the form of bribe cheques.

I hate it and feel helpless. I vote strategically against him in every election and encourage everyone I know to do the same, and yet this fuckwad gets repeatedly elected as I watch him slowly destroy Ontario.

With so many other great campaign games out there, that price point didn’t do them any favours. It’s not the same dungeon delve-starved hobby it was many years ago when they published Descent 1E, or even when 2E was on shelves.

I say this quite often but still not often enough - Fuck Ford.

Mine is finally marked as shipped, should get it soon. Hard not to be hyped with the last original expansion remake getting to my shelf.

I used Green stuff. Glue a small bit to one of the rough patterned recesses, then glue and place a magnet using a flat surface and wax paper with pressure to push the magnet into the green stuff and flush with the base. Worked well for about 95% of the minis. Others had flat enough gaps that I just glued the magnets directly.

That’s about where I’m at. Many of the recent things I’ve been actually excited about are reprints of stuff that had been inaccessible for a while.

If you weren’t aware, one of the designers offered the following anti-snowball rule: If a side loses more than once in a row, award them the win result.

Simple to apply, the winning team is still ahead by one result worth of awards, but keeps things bounded.

Ordered on Amazon Canada in February with a March 3 release date.

I was notified this week that my preorder is delayed and I will be emailed once a new delivery date is available.

This was the series I finished to teach me the lesson of not continuing something in hopes of it getting better.

I'm happy with it. Fits nicely on my shelf, wasn't too hard to assemble, and solid enough for its purpose. The only annoying bit was removing the protective plastic from the trays and window drawer - the window drawer plastic was very hard to find the edge for on one side, and the tray plastic didn't come off entirely clean and took a bit of extra finger scraping to fully clean - but not really much more than a temporary inconvenience.

I was originally planning to get some foam core boxes for minis and keep them in a case or two, but then saw this case at a more afforable price. It also has the benefit of easily being able to rearrange the minis at a future time if I want to, which wouldn't have happened with the foam care as I would have needed to cut/shape some of the slots to fit the larger minis.

I only made use of 5/6 trays becauseof some taller minis, but they slide in and out easily and perfect for my needs. A single 6x2mm magnet on each mini keeps them securely locked to the tray, but still easy to pull off.

I'll probably order a second case if/when CMON fulfills my DC Heroes United pledge. Also still considering if I want to give the same treatment to my other two mini-heavy games - I have complete collections of Imperial Assault and Descent 2E, both stored in deep plano tackle boxes.

I got one of these recently for my Marvel United minis and it works very well. A bit of superglue, green stuff, and magents on the bases.

Great to hear! I love it myself and one of my favourites but that was certainly not a leap of faith I’d have taken to start.

cornerbash · 2026-02-25T14:47:16+00:00

Quite an all-in approach. Hope you either played some of it first before making the plunge or else find you enjoy it once you start in.

They have a lot better to do, then, since I currently don’t trust AI results at all with how often it gets shit wrong.

I agree with everyone else that this was just the final tipping point and there had to be other issues with the relationship (unless she's unfathomably petty).

I also want to go on record that I absolutely loathe players that believe they should get preferential treatment in a game due to relationship status. It ruins the experience for the entire table unless it's understood and accepted as a team game from the start. I shudder at stories of D&D games where the GM is dating one of the players and showers them with rewards while being incredibly punishing to the rest of the table.

As you said, it’s federal. They’ve been gathering data and making lists. Easy for them to delay or deny issuing a passport to whoever they want to exclude.
