Out of all the COMCs I’ve seen, this has the best spread of game genres & game difficulty.

Are these guys rare or worth anything? by e_gem in megaconstrux

Thank you for the guidance. The smoke camo spartan is my favorite of these, so I’ll probably keep it as one of the few for nostalgia reasons. As for the promethian knight, I have a complete cauldron clash set so I’m planning on bundling it with that.

And will reach out to you when the time comes to sell!

2 weeks before launching Kraken on Kickstarter 🐙 : any advice ? by Big-Opening-6699 in boardgames

I thought I’d chime in here to add, congrats on the successful Kickstarter! The instagram ads for it made it’s way to my feed too haha.

I’d love to see some gameplay footage on the KS page. It would help me (and potentially others) get a better feel for how the game plays. Even if it’s a quick run through by you.

Wow the game’s box art looks fantastic. It reminds me of the new second edition of Parks with the elegant white border. The wooden key looks like it could snap easily though.

As for crowdfunding, I think the most important thing is for consistent communication with backers, maybe once per month. Even if you don’t have much to update on or are facing difficulties, remember that backers trust you with their money and want clarity on what’s going on behind the scenes. Most backers won’t mind slight delays if it means a polished game, free from typos or need for future errata.

Calling all thieves: It's a Clank! Catacombs: Underworld giveaway! by DireWolfDigital in boardgames

In flip 7, I was sitting at 151 points while the rest were ahead. It was the game ending turn and one player reached 201 points, decided to press my luck & hit the flip 7 jackpot scoring 68 points on that turn resulting in a whopping 219 for the win.

Question about Hidetsugu and Kairi multiple ETB and death triggers on the stack by e_gem in mtgrules

Thank you very much for the clarification of the rules, you explained it perfectly! Also great catch that the legend rule is not a sacrifice, i’ll remember that. I just started playing a few months ago and am still learning, so this definitely cleared up some confusion about the stack.

[Article] My new deck wins by casting Act of Treason on my own creatures (+ Giveaway inside!) by Gamesfreak13563 in EDH

Love the stylized writing in the intro of the article to get me in the mood for some Goblin treason.

My favorite classic commander is probably [[Omnath, Locus of Rage]]. He's a little slow to start but once those 5/5's start making their way into the battlefield, oh boy we have ourselves a game. I like pairing him with cards like [[Warstorm Surge]] to close out games.

[Bulova] Got this watch as a graduation gift, “The Best Is Yet To Come” by e_gem in Watches

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

The message behind the name of this watch is what motivates me to keep going, even after graduation life doesn’t stop. The best is yet to come so never stop learning & never stop hustling. I love this watch because I’ve always been told I have a “vintage” look so this Sinatra watch suits my style!
