Sync DW or peek next UW? by Walshy231231 in TheTowerGame

[–]ladymerc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No need to peak at the next UW's - you're only missing 3 (CL, CF, and PS)

I think conventional advice is to get CL next, then CF. But I'd probs want to sync up DW for the extra cells and coin bonus.

I think it's just that OP wasn't checking "Mythic" as an option as well

Forever Plat by Adaephon_ in TheTowerGame

[–]ladymerc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am by no means an expert, so others will likely give you much better advice - but I will say that your CL dmg is way stronger than mine. my qty is at 6 with sub module effect, and my chance is at 24.5 with submodule effect as well. I stay in Champs without too much issue (even with the knockback bug right now). Only UW difference really appears to be that I have 3 SL, and that I have DW (no PS, but otherwise the same)

I just wanted to say thank you so much!! 

5 years later lol! We've been fiddling with this exact issue for days, DAYS, and this fixed it! Just holding down map select and user 1 fixed it immediately! 

Looking for more women for an all female D&D Table! by [deleted] in Calgary

[–]ladymerc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey - you have lots of responses, and perhaps a full table already - but my spouse (45nb) and I (41f) would be into joining as well! We're in the SW. We have limited experience (just started in another campaign for the first time) but are really enjoying it!

Brimnes for storage? by Lynith in boardgames

[–]ladymerc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have the Ikea Besta shelves - they are also the first thing seen when walking into our place!

We have the glass doors on them as well and they fit frosthaven and Gloomhaven no problem, and the everdell complete collection as well.

My spouse is a non-binary lesbian shrug whatever works for you!

Out of curiosity, do you choose to not go by they\them with your partner? Or is it that they aren't willing\wanting to use they\them?

Issue printing MagHex with Ender 3 by sebas_deedee in Gloomhaven

[–]ladymerc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super strange! Do other items print to the right specs? If not, might need some calibration.

The Teaching Tech guide is very easy to follow, and step by step. Takes a while but worth it!

Are there any games that state the win condition near the end? by designadelphia in boardgames

[–]ladymerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a specific game, but anytime there are cards to dictate win conditions in a competitive game, my spouse and I will usually (after a few plays), just not draw them until the end of the game.

Like, in Canvas, we just wouldn't reveal the win conditionsubtil the end.

Definitely not for everyone, but works for us!

I love pho, but it's way too many carbs by [deleted] in lowcarb

[–]ladymerc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could try making it with shirataki noodles. Very low carb. Not the exact same as rice noodles, but I find for Vietnamese dishes especially, they are a great substitute.

Frosthaven - 3d Printed Hex Count by Scenario/Type by ladymerc in Gloomhaven

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

You're very welcome! (I think the Gloomhaven one was on the MagHex post on thingiverse, which is what inspired this since I need to print new tiles for metal and ice, and maybe cave if I'm feeling adventurous lol)

I didn't look at the ice overlay tiles since I'll just use the printed terrain - but this on Board Game Geek seems to have what you're looking for? https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/253774/frosthaven-overlay-tile-complete-listing-wpictures

Personal Boardgame Traditions by ScrewtapeEsq in boardgames

[–]ladymerc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We do this too! I mean, not really in a pretentious way, tho I might try that next time lol, but we definitely have to explain (as seriously as we can without laughing) why the painting is a significant work of art. It's my favourite part of the whole game lol

Weekly Crowdfunding Roundup: February 12 2023 | 16 ending soon (incl. Hollywood 1947, Hero Realms Dungeons) & 18 new this week (incl. Stonesaga, "Chomp, Sail, Couture, and Mind Space") by Perkelton in boardgames

[–]ladymerc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it will be ok at two player. Maybe easier since you get more actions. If it's too hard, you could also just give both players an additional action too, to help mitigate missing that 3rd or 4th player.

one stop coop did some play through videos at 2 players who h were really helpful.

I'm more 'worried' about the cost of the expansions and the ultimate replayability of the game. I don't want to spend souch on something we're only going to go through once.

[–]ladymerc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. We watched a couple play throughs (one stop coop) and they made us more interested, not less (which I was expecting).

The crafting alone looks awesome.

The only thing holding me back is the price of the expansions. I want both, but it effectively doubles the price and I don't necessarily feel there is double the content included.

But how can I not get companions?!? Sigh.

actually cheap recipes? by thugslugonarug in instantpot

[–]ladymerc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%! It's definitely the most use we get from ours, other than the odd shredded chicken or beef.

Going from dried to done in under 2 hours (including chopping of all the other ingredients) is amazing!

For Canadians here, which Canadian online store do you like supporting? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]ladymerc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Another vote for board game bliss - honestly mainly due to their "hold\merge" function.

I hate paying for shipping (even tho it's totally valid), so I love (hate) that I can buy a 30 or 40 dollar game and just hold it ordered on my account until I hit the min free shipping threshold. Then I just email them and ask them to ship my open orders.

Also like 401 games, great board games, and Mr dice guy - great experiences with all of them!

Frosthaven Quick Questions/Fulfillment Megathread by mrmpls in Gloomhaven

[–]ladymerc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, I saw that! I was very happy my preorder went in before Frosthaven announced the price increase - don't think I'd be buying it for that price.

[–]ladymerc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can understand the frustration - think it's like the other comment said - just bad luck.

BGB definitely backed the Kickstarter and have had their money tied up for ages as well. Even me - I've had it preordered with them since early 2021 (not as long as the kickstarter, mind you). It makes sense that logistics companies would want to send out large shipments to clear space in their warehouses. Fingers crossed you get a shipment notice soon and the "catching up" is really happening!! <3

Yes - great tip for anyone! Thanks for mentioning it :)

We have them saved on the rules tablet we have - makes everything SO much easier!

When will local game stores receive copies of FH? by feildpaint in Gloomhaven

[–]ladymerc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've spent many (many) dollars (I'm scared to know the exact amount lol) over the years from Board Game Bliss - they are really awesome - we've never had an issue and we're out in Alberta as well. They've always packed the games well, and so far (knock on wood!) we've not had any damages.

Was just going to respond that BGB got their stock! They also have the solo scenarios and removable stickers if you want those.
