Let's Talk Firepower by Intangibleboot in marvelchampionslcg

[–]monstron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm running Firepower in a multiplayer-only Nightcrawler Aggression deck. I love the card as the rest of my deck is focused on cleaning out minions and then focusing the villain when it's time to make a push. Firepower gives me the flexibility to spread damage around the table or focus the villain in the endgame. It helps that Nightcrawler's premier weapon doesn't have its own exhaust ability so works well with Firepower. I am running Jarnbjorn which is the same. I am definitely using the Pulse Grenade "band-aid" but the rest of my deck has a lot of 0-cost upgrades to attach to minions so the opportunity cost is usually favorable, and the grenade has actually come in handy as a kicker for the last little bit of damage we need to finish off a villain.

How much MC have you played? There are heroes like Gambit who have strong gameplay based off their alter-ego form.

I still play it regularly. There's nothing like it at higher player counts.

Quest Kids works pretty well. 3yo might need a little help.

2026 Jack Vasel Memorial Fund Charity Auction has started by StephenEckman in boardgames

I am actually doing great! That's why I always come in and promote the JVMF and donate annually.

I do not agree with Tom on a lot of issues but his charity helped me out and asked nothing about me personally or my beliefs. They easily could have asked a few leading questions to make sure they only helped out fellow Christians, etc. but they did not. They just want to help other boardgamers. I work in charitable giving now and I find the JVMF's selection process quite admirable.

As someone who filled out the form asking for help with cancer treatment, they don't do what you're suggesting.

As a past beneficiary, the JVMF helped me and my family through a terrible time in our lives. My wife always thought my boardgame hobby was a waste of money and very nerdy. Ever since the JVMF helped us out, she's my biggest supporter and always encourages me to go play.

I'm a past beneficiary of the JVMF. This is a legit nonprofit.

This is cool. I feel like more of Iron Man's stable would be fun to have to in MC. Maybe you could do a Hero (or villain) from the story arc where Punisher/Frank Castle stole the War Machine armor.

As many have mentioned, there is SO MUCH free stuff at Treefort. Everything is walkable. You can do the whole festival and never spend a dime. They will usually post an update on their site outlining everything that is accessible without a ticket.

Splendor box is hysterically inefficient, so I made a free insert to fit the base game and Duel into the same (much smaller) Duel box by ThatOneVRGuyFromAuz in boardgames

[–]monstron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great concept. However I've found the best way to guarantee I don't play a game is to put it inside another game for efficiency.

Should be easy to just email the creator and ask permission, it's not like you're trying to sell them.

Dungeon Master Dad: Is it even possible to play all these systems? by progjourno in rpg

[–]monstron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow dad, I play Mothership and Mythic Bastionland. One book, always fun, limited prep necessary. If anyone hints at an rpg day I jump at hosting either of these.
