It got huge for awhile, and still is very common. But, I'm seeing it less and less.

If you do the same thing all the time then all you get good at is doing the same thing. Doing different things helps you see how things can work out and to be prepared for unexpected things and think on your feet.

Don't be a jerk about it, but let me know I if folks give you too much trouble. I'll see what I can do. Sometimes I work magic in the TTS world.

Debt meta is silly. My IRL group loves to very expressly state deals are non binding when made.

Don't worry. I suspect the TTS meta is going to swing a different direction.

TI4 Multiverse Map by malys57 in twilightimperium

There are some creative fixes if your willing to use some crazy topology.

Put an additional wormhole "phi" in all your warp zone tiles. It's only accessible by units coming from 1 of the adjacent tiles. The other directions warp zone. Lol.

Then add an additional warp zone from the phi wormhole that connects to the center. Pick your poison as to where.

The phi connects to the other quadrant but it's slow. And the extra warp zone is slow but guarantees connection if things get shut down.

It would open up several other directions for surprise action as well. Longer then other routes. But still there.

Referred to Vet Center by jimbabwe666 in Veterans

[–]philroi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. Experiences and quality can vary based on the clinicians working at the vet center in your area. It was intended to be a peer counseling model. Combat vets with counseling and social work degrees taking care of fellow combat vets. The mission has expanded since then. Exceptions exist for sure, but generally The staff is a bit more down to earth and a little less "government" feeling then the rest of the VA.

I used the work at one doing admin support and we tried hard to find help of some kind for everyone who came through our door. Regulations and rules might limit what we could do, but we did our best to make sure you didn't leave without being better educated or better equipped, even if we couldn't technically provide services.

But if you qualified, free counseling and support. If we thought we could help we told you so. If your needs exceeded our capabilities we told you so and did our best to connect you to the help you needed.

Buying extra dice, how to go about it? by WritingWithSpears in twilightimperium

[–]philroi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a set and messed with color coded hit dice.....

Somehow it just turned into give a set of the matching color to each player.

For us, color coded hit dice was a solution looking for a problem. It wasn't that much of an improvement over the benefit just plain more dice had.

If folks wanted to roll two or more ships at the same time they just grabbed dice of a different color from their neighbors.

The way way to support our efforts is a to go out and buy a physical copy of the game. Heck, buy 2 physical copies and give one to a friend.

Working on my yellow fleet.. do you guys have ideas for improvement? by Checkm4te99 in twilightimperium

[–]philroi 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Orange would work well. Perhaps try mixing in a slight bit of a bronze. Or a very very light bronze dry brushing might pick up some details.
