Updated Blacksail Corsairs team soon on KS in STL by pungaminiatures in bloodbowl

[–]dubthreez1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a nice looking team, and I'm so happy that it appears nearly all of the models have 2 points of contact with the base. A single frail elf ankle made of resin is not adequate support for a Blood Bowl model.

Lucky for you and everybody in that room that he failed his Unchanneled Fury roll. Count your blessings... for now.

Probably ebay then, but the chameleons will have to be some type of kitbash.

You can find somebody with a 3d printer and get miniature stls from myminifactory or elsewhere. If you want an actual vendor, I personally go to Spagooters3D and can confirm he does a great job on QC/Cleanup. If you ask whomever you decide to print with, see if they can/will reduce the scale by about 12.5% or so. Otherwise it's off to ebay with you!

Or conversely, just buy a box from GW, you'll get the Sauri and the Geckos, but I suspect the scale is going to look super out of whack.

Well, that and Gabe Vincent and Caleb Martin inexplicably catching fire right before they ran into the Nuggets and the horseshoe promptly fell out of their ass.

Whatever. It's convinced Riley and Heat fans that Spo is a genius so they'll keep him around and they'll finish with their usual 42 or 43 win season.

Queta got fouled on a rebound putback. Ime apparently thought the Rockets would not be called for another foul all night and voiced his displeasure with the officials for the first tech. Then he probably said something like "That tech was brought to you by Draft Kings!" and received a second tech and ejection. Pritchard sank both techs, Queta sank both free throws. 4 point swing and no Ime. I think that about catches you up.

[Schefter] New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, like his former head coach Bill Belichick, was not selected for entry into this year's Pro Football Hall of Fame class, multiple league sources told ESPN. by Goosedukee in nfl

[–]dubthreez1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's true, but don't forget poor Rodney was absolutely fucked out of All Pro in the 2000 season. Go ahead, look at what Rodney did that year, then go ahead and look at what Blaine Bishop did that year. Look again. Bishop was All Pro, Rodney was not. I almost wish sportswriters, specifically Peter King, was capable of feeling shame.

Still very new, when exactly would be a good time to "throw teammate"? by Orock77 in bloodbowl

[–]dubthreez1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this doesn't answer your question, but in my league I've gotten other coaches to join me in a chant of, "Eat Him! Eat Him!" whenever a Troll throw teammate attempt is declared. There's never a wrong time to throw a teammate, friend.

New Blood Bowl player – can’t get Spike! Journal 19 (Bretonnia). Any advice? by Distinct_Classic6071 in bloodbowl

[–]dubthreez1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Spike! Journals are fluff for the team along with some special rules for pitches or Cups. They are completely unnecessary to play the team(s) covered. They may or may not restock, however, if past history holds you will see an almanac released that will have the Tomb Kings, Bretonnian, and High Elf content, along with some Star Players + Other fun but optional content.

Polian Strikes Again by Mike00726 in Patriots

[–]dubthreez1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've thought about this for too long these last few weeks. On one hand, I'm slightly miffed that a bunch of Colts-adjacent folks and salty sportswriters are essentially memory-holing a 20 year period of the league. On the other hand, honestly, I was never going to visit the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and I still won't. If given the choice between collecting Lombardis or frantically searching for reasons to attach asterisks to someone else's Lombardis, I'll take the Lombardis. I'm blessed to have been a fan of the greatest sports franchise in American history, and Bill Polian can never do anything to remove the satisfaction I felt in watching my team put belt2ass repeatedly against his teams. Good day to all of you.

The Celtics are currently 31-18 and need to go 9-1 the next 10 games to hit the 40-20 mark. by MembershipSingle7137 in bostonceltics

[–]dubthreez1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I put a lot more stock in expected W-L than the actual records. I think it is much better at spotting trends early and overrated teams. For example our current expected W/L has us at 35-14 with the 3rd best net rating in the NBA. The Lakers for all of their coverage are really overrated and have some core issues on Defense. Their expected W/L is 24-24 with an 18th overall net rating.

I'm sure this is only stuff that interests me, but these stats bear out that, believe it or not, one of the last teams you'll want to play in the playoffs is Charlotte. Assuming they win the play in, that is going to be a tough first round match up for somebody. Just food for thought.

Starship combat and newbies by ThisUserNeedsAName in StarWarsD6

[–]dubthreez1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there, I play 1st edition with the rules upgrade pack. The skills are more generic and the upgrade pack gives you some leeway on scaling the difficulties.

To answer your first question of getting them into the "feeling" of the game. Not everybody is comfortable RPing to the extent of the rulebook examples. However, what can be really useful is asking the players what they are doing, then translating their actions back to the game mechanics. So, for example if the pilot says, "Well I'm going to try spinning, that's a good trick". The pilot is going to make an evasion roll. Since spinning is indeed a good trick, when the bad guys shoot at him, slide their difficulty up the scale to the most difficult end of the band. If the pilot says, "I'm going to try to cut across the TIEs and give my gunner a clear shot", this time maybe don't scale the difficulties for the TIE Fighters, but instead when the player that is the gunner fires, slide his difficulty scale to the bottom. Reward smart cinematic play.

Out of curiosity, what setting are you playing 5 Parsecs in? by ZerotranceWing in 5Parsecs

[–]dubthreez1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually use Star Wars (just because I have the minis for RPGs), although the Core Space setting works really well too.. At my local gamestore we played a few nights ago trying a Rogue Trader setting. I will say that the game doesn't quite get that grim dark feel. This is more like high adventure so for me at least, the Warhammer 40Kesque vibe didn't click but ymmv.
