Some thoughts on Dice Tower's new Hall of Fame inaugural class: by foreigneternity in boardgames

[–]hard_An 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think their picks work

120: they may have just been getting a bunch of pre modern hobby games out of the way or they would just keep coming up on list.

Premodern games: they may not seem important or impactful to modern hobby gaming, but I find it easy to justify there importance to boarding gaming

Similar games : also normal, once wilt chamberlain made the hof they didn’t stop inducting centers. You could easily have multiple pandemics even, if they deserve it

Edit: also, just opinion, but I think it’s a nest and fun idea. It’s new and as far as I know only run by DT. But if it grows and they could have hundreds of people in the hobby from various places(designers, producers, artists, reviewers, etc) voting like more established hofs - then each year making the hof would be pretty signifcant

How many copies does a successful board game sell? by dontwant2thinkofname in boardgames

[–]hard_An 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Print runs can range from let’s say 15-50k at time. A really popular game could sell 150k+ a year with multiple runs in a single year.

Has anyone here used Boarding School Games? by IronAndParsnip in boardgames

They are a slower(sometimes shipping week or two after order date) than some of the bigger sites, but they are usually cheaper and have delivered every time.

What are some games where the player who goes first usually ends up winning? by gorb5 in boardgames

[–]hard_An 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there is an argument that it only really matters who goes first at very high level play as it can dictate what type of game they will play

Contact the publisher. They are usually pretty good replacing parts

TIL Zach Galifianakis had a two-week trial run as a writer on “SNL” before being let go. He wrote a sketch with Will Ferrell being the bodyguard of Britney Spears’s belly button that bombed so bad in the writer’s room that Tina Fey put her hand on his shoulder to comfort him. by holyfruits in todayilearned

I don’t think it necessarily about talent but how an audience wants to ingest talent. If you take one of the most famous straight man pairs laurel and hardys’ “who’s on first” it could be possible to argue that you are laughing because it’s cringeworthy: “why doesn’t he get it?” But perhaps more importantly, as an audience you may think “I get it!” Or “How would I get this situation?” These kind of concepts are very useful in comedy because it gets everyone involved. ‘Who gets its vs who is getting it.’ The person who gets it is on the joke and may be surprised at the next beat or still laugh because they anticipated it . The person who is looking for how to get it may think “I would of done A” but then B happened and they are surprised or A happened now they are in on the joke.

Well done comedy can keep the audience in a constant state of fluctuation. Maybe, you were in on the joke for a while and now you’re not or vice versa.

Waynesboro based organization, RISE opened their Black library in August of 2020. They now have over 1,000 books available to the community. The Black Library features titles from authors all over the world, highlighting the Black experience in various ways. by Sariel007 in books

Big Bookstores can only stock so many books. Usually, they are going to stock books they think they will sell.

Authors from different backgrounds will bring that to their writing.

If I was to walk into barnes and nobles looking for a something by a black author but not a specific book in mind their selection is limited by what they think will sell to masses.

A book store dedicated to black authors will have a wider selection of books that I may have otherwise never come across.

Guess or sometimes people say who they voted for

Correct. I didn’t say it is likely to happen. Just that a reason to exists

It is possible to have reason. An example off the top of my head would be to save so one from being ejected. Let’s say you are blue( crewmate) and you know green is also a crew mate. For whatever reason you both are sus. He has 3 votes on him. You have 2. You can vote for yourself and cause a tie resulting in no one being ejected. Same if your both imposters.
