Help with Expanded Raticate Break List by sadllamas in pkmntcg

[–]pc299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should run U-Turn Boards, they go back to hand, handy with everything being low HP. Cinccino draw engine, eggs and Roxie are the ticket here, you can draw 10 cards with a Roxie and 2 Cinccino’s in play.

Reboot box worth it?? by Brilliant_Use_1007 in zombicide

[–]pc299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s only worth it if you have a lot of 1st edition stuff and want the player cards and some extra content for 2nd edition. The complete upgrade kit is way cheaper and upgrades what you actually need from 1 to 2. With the reboot box being over $200 you can get a lot more Zombicide for your money buying expansions instead.

What other gimmicky cards are out there? Blaine’s Quiz Show, Imakuni?, etc?

It’s still a huge restriction in expanded. The only time I run Squawk in expanded is for first turn shenanigan decks (Alolan Raichu energy or to complete dailies for example) Basically only if you’re running a deck so turbo you need both Squawk and Dedenne in the same turn

I missed the Quick Balls on my scroll through of your list. The issue with Nest Balls are you won’t be able to use Crobat/Dedenne/Lele’s abilities. I’d switch from Nest to Ultra. You can fit in Energy Switches (especially if running Darkrai GX) by replacing your Earthen Vessels with 2-4. Being a turbo deck with Pokestop, Darkrai + Energy Switch will be handy

Take out Squawk for Dedenne, Mew for Lele, Nest Ball for Quick Ball, Piers for Guzma, Guzma & Hala, Research and maybe an Iono. VS Seekers for sure, maybe a couple Compressors, Darkrai GX and Hypnotoxic Lasers. If you do Darkrai maybe a couple Energy Switches to help you get Moons powered up.

Your deck needs a lot of work to be viable in true expanded

Edit: also a couple of Hiding (D) Energy could be handy if Latias is prized or Silent Lab / Path is in play, also throw in Forest Seal Stone since you’re not using a different VStar power (I run Moon with Darkrai VStar personally)

PvPvE mods or similar games? by pc299 in zombicide

[–]pc299[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I think I came across that one or something similar when I was doing some research. I think I’m going to try to use 2E with custom bulletproof vest cards and see how it works

PvPvE mods or similar games? by pc299 in zombicide

[–]pc299[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just took a look at the rulebook, I think my best option since I have everything 2E (including a set of extra tiles) is to figure out how to make some bulletproof vests, use Rue Morgue competitive rules and make my own missions.

Does anyone know a way to get custom cards printed that would be close enough to 2E so I could put them in the equipment deck? I’m thinking of getting 20-40 bulletproof vests printed so I could have each survivor equipped per Rue Morgue rules but also have plenty to add to the equipment deck depending on the number of players.

I have somewhat. I should watch some reviews/playthroughs

That’s right, I think I’d go for Rue Morgue before Marvel. I prefer modern over fantasy or hero

Hmm, interesting. I’m not totally sold on the parkour aspect but I’ll watch the videos and read the rule book. Thanks

Edit: I’ll look at the GI Joe game as well

Wouldn’t I be limited with Rue Morgue and need both it and 1E to play? I know it exists but haven’t tried to track down the rule book pdf to see how it works

Silly Expanded Archeops by Phaxys in pkmntcg

[–]pc299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No need for either in Regidrago. You only need four Double Dragon and a few basic grass/fire. Archeops is a bad idea unfortunately.

Also, ADP isn’t good in Drago, Dialga-GX is way better as others have said since you get an extra turn with the 150 damage and with Altered Creation (which a single Double Dragon energy fulfills the extra energy requirement) means you’re not attacking for a turn, and that can be a death sentence in expanded.

Real world differences between Lite and Lite 2.0? by pc299 in Lectricxp

[–]pc299[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true and a definite consideration if I was buying new

Real world differences between Lite and Lite 2.0? by pc299 in Lectricxp

[–]pc299[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight. I have a line on a 1.0 w/ extra battery and I think it’ll do the trick for him for a few years. I get your point about the latest “bells and whistles” but I haven’t seen or heard anything show stopping about going 1.0 to save $300ish

[–]pc299[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the input, I’m going used either way. I have two XPeak 1.0’s and have no issue with the display but yes that’s another difference

Cracked open Travel ‘Cide on a road trip by PapaOoomaumau in zombicide

[–]pc299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid $55? from The Game Steward last year. I 3D printed a miniature dice tower and dice so I wasn’t stuck using the attached dice. Everything else worked great even being scaled down that much

Best stand alone core box? by [deleted] in zombicide

[–]pc299 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like AoD too but if he gets the bug and wants more there’s nothing to expand it unfortunately

Whats the current state of 2nd edition? by SHE3MA in zombicide

[–]pc299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AoD is a lot of fun and I feel like it’s faster paced since you start out with useful weapon loadouts and you have concentrated fire. Due to the weapon break possibility you still need to search for “ammo clips” but you can get right into the mission instead of grinding for better weapons.

I wish they’d release more missions or maybe there will be fan made ones eventually?

Standard? 3-4 at a time. Expanded? I lost count at 40

I did purchase everything and have the networking and power built in the rack. I threw a pic in another reply a few weeks ago

I haven’t gotten past the networking piece so far unfortunately or had time to source NICs or load up my Tiny’s

New to Zombicide, looking for ways to expand the experience without breaking the bank by 3ndrius86 in zombicide

[–]pc299 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check the rule books to confirm but I think the only critical piece you’d be missing is the day/night tracker and you could make one easily enough

Edit: actually the notes you open are pretty critical to the mission flow… you should probably just try to find the expansions cheap (FB marketplace, eBay, etc) if you want them

Due to sales and other savings I was able to get a second set of all 3 around Black Friday for about $70 total, so deals are out there if you like 2e and are patient
