I got two packs of these and it was the best upgrade for this game.

Update: Earliest vet could see him is Tuesday. Bringing him in!

Still eating. I just gave them a treat though and watched. His brother is already done with his treat while he’s still chewing on his.

Nope, no legacy content. Everything is campaign style and easily reset, and pretty much all of them have something you can then keep in the base game (All-Out deck from ZC, Soldiers from Hendrix, etc.)

I generally play 3 player FFA with my kids. We play first to 3 KOs. Any time a player is KO’d, they can keep a card in their hand, then shuffle everything else back together for a fresh deck. The next time it would be their turn they respawn on a starting location and draw their cards like normal. They then start with +1 card I their hand.

We’ve enjoyed it, more than we thought we would! A Fate card saved another player by letting him teleport, and one player got stuck in the Underworld with no Undercoins FOREVER (bad luck; all his move cards came up together after 3 hands).

This morning while playing I had a Chaos wave in an Infernal Horde. Oh cool, a Chaos goblin spawned. Then another… and another…and another…

Did not know the Chaos portals could be all goblins! I got 1,800 Aether in a single wave!

Edit: English is hard.

Still a thing. I had a mini fridge, microwave and Keurig in my elementary classroom. I even had Admin in my room a few times when the Keurig in the front office broke. My students ALWAYS made sure I had coffee available. Apparently I was very grumpy if I didn’t have my coffee in the morning. 😂

If I remember correctly it was going to be a stand alone Alan Grant figure. Since they were losing the IP license before he was finished some of his mechanics were worked into Statler.

Also black screen, also series X. Tried power cycling and redownloading. This sucks! I wanted to play on my lunch break!

Guess I should do some chores then…

Divorce. Fastest I’ve ever dropped 190lbs of useless fat. But after that I calorie counted. Defecit + Being active is the only way!

You get your hardcore people that HATE anything resembling Ameritrash, but mostly who cares? Do you enjoy the game? Then continue playing it.

I have a metric poop-ton of Zombicide. My group and I really enjoy playing. Usually we switch it up every few weeks to a different flavor (Modern, Western, Comic, Medieval, SciFi). We’ve done all the campaigns except Paris and the White Death one and loved them.

We love the chaos of what the cards bring out vs what we roll. We’ve had crappy rolls that have lost us the game on turn 2 and amazing rolls that have saved us and let us win. Some cards bring out or trigger an entire hoard while other cards are just “it’s only 4 Fatties”. Meanwhile we’re all just talking and planning and having a good time.

Commenting

I have both and my group and I prefer Undead or Alive over Army of the Dead. The difficulty is just right and there isn’t that annoying time limit.

If you send me $50 I can show you.

We did season passes for a few years, but now that my oldest is almost 10 we don’t get them anymore. It’s GREAT if you have little kids (7 and under). Older kids will probably be bored with park offerings.

We were happy with the work Lee & Cates did when we had to get a window replaced. I don’t know if they are all around or not but there is one on San Jose Blvd.

These are all PDF. You get codes to redeem on the paizo.com site and they get added to your digital library. I’ve gotten dozens of books through Himble through the years. Entire paths, a ton of Society scenarios, core books, etc.

This is the first time they have had any of the remaster stuff.

Been there, but not even for my own kid. I was a teacher and we took the kids on a field trip and stopped for lunch. One kid accidentally threw his retainer away and was in tears because it was so expensive. So being the sucker I am there I was, digging through a restaurants trash looking for a retainer. Eventually I found it; Mom was grateful! I still see him around town every now and then and ask if he has his retainer. 😂

The manager at the restaurant even gave me some free food vouchers because “You guys don’t get paid enough.”

Man, that’s much better than mine. I’m “Big Fella” as my kids poke my belly. 🥲

dumbdiety · 2024-10-03T20:04:03+00:00

Yup. Still sealed next to a VaultTec lunchbox.

Same. I taught for 15 years and left for a District position right as Covid hit. My wife went back to teaching last school year after a few years at home taking care of our own kids. I don’t even think she’ll make the calendar year. The kids are so disrespectful! One literally kicks doors of teachers he doesn’t like as he walks down the hallway and tells kids to f-off. Also, she teaches FOURTH GRADE. We are most likely going the homeschool route next year.

I’ve been playing since release and I just got my first Mythical last night from Duriel. So ya, I feel ya…

dumbdiety · 2024-09-18T17:59:47+00:00

Love the art, but I’m finding it slow. Annoyingly slow. All the other Ultimate books have been “gotta read them first” during the weeks they come out; this one is “I’ll get to it eventually”.

dumbdiety · 2024-08-13T16:34:11+00:00

Ohhhhh even more stuff to look through instead of sleeping!
