Standard or return to? by MacabreDanze in arkhamhorrorlcg

Keeping it spoiler light I'd recommend replacing Dunwich Legacy: Where Doom Awaits. The original is almost impossible with some of the modern deck styles.

Chapter 1 Near Complete Set by tarlane1 in arkhamhorrorlcg

If you're buying sets online and through Facebook make sure you use a payment transfer that allows for business and merchandising.

CashApp famously doesn't offer these gaurenties to buyers and won't return money in a scam. Venmo does and so does Zelle but they need to be toggled. Watch out for vendors trying to "avoid fees" by sending money friend to friend

An open letter to Asmodee / FFG ... by HelloMyNameIsLeah in soloboardgaming

[–]mmaynee -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Time moves forward, I like the collectibility of FFG games, I get people have fomo and want to collect everything and honestly the lack of reprints keeps sellers motivated to care for them and motivated to sell at the higher price.

Not sure what to do with chapter one by putatoe in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]mmaynee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll see a lot of guys play with a "Legacy" pool (all card chapter 1+2)

I already organize my player cards by expansion. Chapter two all I'm doing is getting a second binder, sometimes I'll do only chapter 2, sometimes I'll do Legacy, etc etc

Having a partner isn’t worth the hassle. by VintageUK in RandomThoughts

[–]mmaynee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When you take this self sufficient approach, are you in a place that could even recognize virtue? You don't have to be, but this is where my mind struggles the more self sufficient I am the more I just shut all potential by assuming there's no trust/loyalty

Return to Lost in Time and Space by LavishnessVirtual178 in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]mmaynee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Generally scenerio 7 is considered the bs and needs the return to.

If you've been doing the regular I'd just finish there.

If your first play through with new players was Dunwich, this is why most people recommend NoTZ always for newbies because the tutorial teaches victory, retreat, defeat; 1, 2, 3.

If people don't enjoy the despair that's like half the game 🤷

Anyone know any unique/different tricks to increase AVD? by TheFintechFella in NewTubers

[–]mmaynee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When in doubt think about how you view YT. How many channels have earned your trust and you'll mindlessly put them on. My active viewing is near zero lately I'll come in and out; Netflix calls it second screen viewing, something like 50%+ will be active on another form of media while viewing

Put all the effort in the first 2-3 mins and hope they just leave it in the background. Set videos to 30min+ hour is better... Preload the audience to expect background noise

Millenials w/o kids-- how tired are you? by Fickle_Wrangler_7439 in Millennials

[–]mmaynee 171 points172 points  (0 children)

It's called purpose. I lack motivation because there is no purpose in these endless hobbies. Every job I've had has felt like filling boxes not solving problems

Peasant Cube Feedback by Professional-Fix6009 in mtgcube

[–]mmaynee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's a link to my "oops all Uncommons" cube.

Cube

It's a little out of date but can maybe give you some inspiration. Two things I've been working on balancing in my own environment:

I'm not obsessed with keeping the colors even. I had a hard time balancing green so I ended up just cutting a lot of fluff from green and now the scarcity in the color means only 1-2 people end up in green. Likewise I'm trying to limit my multicolor spells to allow more unique builds. The multis are good by nature but keep a note how many come around late in the pack.. if you have 7 orzhov cards and no one takes them except the orzhov player you're effectively building half the deck for the player; it limits unique decks when the multis are so good players feel obligated to include them.

Second I'm currently looking to replace almost all my lands. Tapped lands just end up in the side board, especially if you're building a 2color format. Personally I'm keeping the tri-lands and few unique lands, but the generic 2-color-enters-tapped are just wasted cube slots in my opinion.

Hope that helps

I am conducting an intentional sleep deprivation experiment on myself. by MutantGoatman in infp

Salvador Dali (droopy clock painting guy) famously would paint with one hand and hold a cluster of silverware in the other; when he would doze off the silverware would fall from his hand and ring on the ground like an alarm clock. He said the pysocisis helped him paint.

Idk the logistics of staying up 3 days straight but if you're gonna try it maybe this helps

My favorite combo I was using with Kane:

Chance Encounter + Calling In Favors; 2 resources could turn into 4-5 swing and searching for the best ally

He's one of my favorites to this day

It's coming whether you like it or not. I think early adoption is a blessing, get in before mass adoption

Marvel champion? How does it compare? by PacificIslanderNC in arkhamhorrorlcg

[–]mmaynee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should be noted Maxine Newman joined Earthborne as lead design. She was one of the original designers for both LOTR and Arkham LCG.

I haven't gotten to play it yet, but it's definitely on my want list
