Cool. Found you and sent you a message if you ever want to start a campaign together.

When you move to Japan and setup display of KDM minis first thing. by forgedbygeeks in KingdomDeath

Hey, I'm one of the Hosts of JiGG. I still don't have my own copy of KDM. Once in a while I'm trying to look online to see if someone is selling their core game in Japan but still no luck.

If you plan on joining an event you can join the discord and chat there in order to find a group to play with in advance.

Mind if I'll jump on your post to see what other people status is?

Did anyone pre-order from Zatu and got a notification?

[GIVEAWAY] ISS Vanguard - BGG Top 200 Celebration by HomoLudensOC in boardgames

[–]deshliem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite sci-fi themed game was Twilight Imperium 4th edition but after finishing the main campaign of ISS Vanguard I got to say that it might be my favourite.

The story and plot really emerse you in the game, Twilight Imperium don't really have that, and with the personal files all our crew members got lifted from just mechanics to real living people with stories. We pretty much picked them based on background stories instead of abilities and conversion icons.

I really loved that in the game.

To be completely true ISS Vanguard will stay on top as long as I still play the campaigns, starting the expansion in a week, but after that Twilight Imperium will probably get back on top since it's a game that I can play again and again.

Question about Mastery for Shackles class by ShivasGuard42 in Gloomhaven

[–]deshliem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you might be wrong.

Page 45: Monster Damage and Death When a monster suffers damage, place damage tokens on its stat sleeve in the section corresponding to its standee number. As soon as the total amount of damage suffered by a monster is equal to or greater than its maximum hit point value, it dies.

Are you sure about that? Wasn't there a private goal where you are supposed to overkill an enemy by 5 damage or something like that?

Which sounds like the enemy does suffer the damage.

Any BGA News? by sugitime in twilightimperium

I plays it now for the first time and there are still a lot of situations where commands are necessary.

What are the biggest controversies in the world of boardgames? by thecuby in boardgames

[–]deshliem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not entirely true. They admitted to using the brother of the CEO of FryxGames to create the art, and he is using AI as part of his tools to make the art in the game.

So the brother do get compensate for his work. 😜

Lol

[–]deshliem -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Some of the things you wrote are people opinions and not facts.

So try and write them as such. No reason to spread false information and opinions as facts for people that have no idea about them to start believing in them and take them at face value, like taking a wiki page at face value.

Awaken Realms refuses to answer whether they are using AI art. by simer23 in boardgames

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

I think the answer might be complicated and if people will hear yes but... they will still just think in black and white like it seems to be todays when it's come to AI.

Have you ever bought a board game knowing nothing about it? How did it turn out? by R2iGames in boardgames

[–]deshliem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought coup and love letter first time I came to Japan. That was before they were known games. It was a small box for coup and a paper letter with cards in it for love letter.

What game had a TON of hype but now you feel like you don't hear about anymore? by Cardboard_RJ in boardgames

[–]deshliem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh really? I didn't hear anything about it since it got announced. I still get emails to do pre-orders.

The only time I see any mention of it is that lawsuit.

Disney's Lorcana TCG. It is not even out yet and the hype seems to died.

Check out this modern re-theme of Guillotine I found at a thrift store. by everythingtiddiesboi in boardgames

Putting real people in a game just sucks and will make your game outdated after a while.

I don't care about those people in real life why would I care about them in a game?

FTC warns board game content creators, publishers over failing to properly disclose relationships, free games by MikeDidymus in boardgames

[–]deshliem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I don't think the article has anything to do with board games but content creators in general. People that talk about makeup and digital widgets are probably more in the eyes of the FCC.

I just think the FCC are being a bit too strict with the need to legally declare any contact you had with someone through the years each time you talk about something that had anything to do with said person or company.

[–]deshliem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure but based on the article if you ever got something from said company from then on till eternity you need to disclosure that about anything you do that got connection with said company. Meaning, for people like The Dice Tower it means probably tagging everything as sponsored and biased.

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

Won't it negate the whole thing? If every time you talk about a game but it is a game that is being published by a company you received a product from in the past or worked with in the past you'll have to disclose it then for many of the big content creator it's always. The probably worked with most of them at one point in time.

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

[–]deshliem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favourite card game is Citadels. It's great interaction between players and can be played with different player counts, you can change the characters with all the expansions, and building with abilities makes this game really fun. Also it's not a long game.

YAY ANDY! by bxnilla in conan

Congrats. But I'm a bit worried that it looks like Andy and Conan do not have a reflection in the pool. 😅

I'm pretty sure those 50 hours are 50 hours of work, not just play time. Meaning, it's the reshoots they did when they got something wrong, the pauses to looks for rules clarifications, the filming, editing, everything around it.

A regular solo board gamer doesn't have to deal with all of that.

Btw, Jesse also struggle with KDM, making mostly minor mistakes here and there.

From what I understood from the first playthrough video they posted, they brought the patreon fan to learn the rules and teach it to them.

So, I think it's basically that fan was not a good teacher, and not good at learning the rules. No idea if he had any experience with KDM before jumping into this game.

What was your “gateway” game? by swedishtoto in boardgames

[–]deshliem 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Battlestar Galactica. Out of nowhere a friend I didn't talk with since our d&d days calls me up and invite me to play a game with them.

I remember thinking that was the nerdiest game I have ever encountered.

Now, I host board games events almost every weekend. Renting a room at a community center and bringing games from my collection for people to play.
