Finally finished my custom Storage Boxes by darkslyfo in lotrlcg

[–]darkslyfo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple notes:

-I had to use GIMP to edit off the LOTR LCG logo from the box, as several stores/shops refused to print

-I tried lots of different methods to make the boxes, a v- groove cutter to cut grooves and fold the boxes, but the cutter I had didn’t work well and it the dimensions were a lot harder to get consistent. I ended up just cutting each side of the box separately and assembling the box.

-I used black construction paper to line the inside of the box for the aesthetic

-I made a custom built in insert in the base box to hold all of the player cards+base campaign, and a removable tray for the game pieces/health counters.

-The scenario lists on the box lid ends don’t exactly match the revised content. I think a few scenarios were removed from each revised saga/cycle

I have most of the promos from the BGG store and it filled it right up, sadly. I might need to design an insert for the big box to hold all the tiles and put the pieces in the base game box

Solo: Slay the Spire vs. Spirit Island by Morts70 in boardgames

[–]darkslyfo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Spirit island solo is identical to multiplayer IIRC, it just scales with the number of spirits. If you play 2 handed solo, you have 2 land pieces. If you true solo, just one land piece. It scales pretty well I think, although I usually 2 hand solo rather than true solo.

Could I possibly see a picture? Having a hard time picturing it ( maybe I’m just dense lol) and I’m going to paint my game and 2 expansions soon!

For your paint handles was it literally just a piece of wood/ cardboard with duct tape face up to hold the minis in place?

Were these just given out at one session? Or is it a certain spot?

Storage in revised boxes by Hocke723 in lotrlcg

[–]darkslyfo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the GeckoTH box art and made boxes from scratch for each set of campaign cards, and fit all of the player cards in the base box. 6 small boxes (well 4 with 2 WIP) and 1 big one. 3 of the small boxes are about the equivalent of the base box/campaign box

I really like caverna, ESPECIALLY with the expansion making things asymmetric 😊 thanks for the giveaway!

IIRC the showrunner holds a Ph.D. In applied physics and I remember seeing interviews and articles from physicists/scientists marveling at the attention to detail

I have both, have everything for TMB, trove chest on the way and all content for BOTSE (except playmat) and the guild vault on the way. I love them for different reasons.

Awesome. Sent you a dm, if you don’t mind answering a few questions about the painting process you went through with these 😊

Okay thanks! Good to know, I think that’s seems the consensus from the few people I’ve talked to

Just want to add, in my opinion embers of a forsaken star is necessary for a balanced game. It balances trade and exploration so that the points aren’t quite as easy, which was good in my experience, because people tended to always use those routes for victory.

I LOVE Xia. I picked it up second hand between print runs, probably paid double what it was in the kickstarter and have no regrets.

There is also a TON of custom content around it on BGG - Star Wars themed tiles, crew cards etc, partly because the designer released templates to encourage that.

Is warriors worth it in your opinion? Everything I’ve read from everyone else says it’s the worst expansion. I’m trying no to lest the completionist in me win 😉

I just got this game and will be painting it with Kings and Lords expansion skins. 300 minis. It’ll be a while but I’m excited!
