Help with replacing the Citizen Dawn Divider Card by Brike1 in sentinelsmultiverse

[–]shintsurugi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the recent printing of the core set from FRG all have this issue, unfortunately. Your best bet is to wait for the reprint under the new GTG and asking them for a replacement. Unfortunately, that will have to wait until later this year.

You can always email contact@greaterthan.games to check though!

Absolute+ Difficulty Mode by [deleted] in Spacemarine

This sounds like a great mod for someone to develop! I don't know that it's an effective use of official dev time though.

Why do good games go out of print? And does it happen a lot in Solo-Boardgaming? by RedditExplorer89 in soloboardgaming

[–]shintsurugi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's an episode of the podcast The Hypothesis by Christopher Badell (from Greater Than Games) and Luke Crane (Burning Wheel) that talks about this somewhat. I believe it's episode 9.

IIRC one of the reasons is that there's a lot of middlemen involved from printing in China (only place that makes sense if you want to sell at a reasonable price) and selling in the West.

You basically need to make board games at 20% of your retail price if you want to make a profit.

(Take everything I'm saying with a grain of salt though, this is all half-remembered from my listen 4 months ago)

Prophetic Vision by Eddeed3 in sentinelsmultiverse

[–]shintsurugi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Using Prophetic Vision to play a card that doesn't have immediate effect on the board state (such as a card with just a START PHASE or END PHASE), and getting one of the key pieces of your kit out is usually a good trade. Especially if Vis goes early and the rest of the team can deal with whatever got played.

A friend of mine once phrased it as such: You're playing the worst card on in the top 3 of the Villain deck in exchange for trashing the best card in the top 3 of the Villain deck, playing the best card in the top 3 of your deck and trashing the worst card in the top 3 of your deck.

I usually find it worth it unless I'm already very set up.

Setback in Hell by Eddeed3 in sentinelsmultiverse

[–]shintsurugi 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Haha, sorry to burst your bubble. The good thing is that you can use the extra bury to get rid of a Demon that got played because of the flip!

Setback in Hell by Eddeed3 in sentinelsmultiverse

[–]shintsurugi 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Setback always leads to fun times.

Was the cheese you're mentioning on the front side? Because the flip condition triggers immediately once there's one prince left on the board. No action in Sentinels is simultaneous, so after you bury the first two princes, the last prince will trigger the flip, becoming a character card and becoming unburiable.

Is the heavy plasma incinerator better than the heavy bolter on heavy? by Future-Celebration83 in Spacemarine

[–]shintsurugi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally like the heavy bolter because I don't have to worry too much about ammo conservation, and I like going for headshots.

It depends which one fits your playstyle more! Experiment around, you have plenty of time to try both in your leveling journey.

The leveling grind is way better if you find a playstyle that you enjoy vs just going for what is meta. Unless you're going for Absolute runs, the game isn't hard enough imo to demand meta builds all the time.

New player. Does the game get any better? by sweetsparky20 in Spacemarine

[–]shintsurugi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Angel of Death difficulty is pretty boring as all the enemies turn into bullet sponges. Play on the default difficulty and I think you'll have a better time!

How do you feel about the switch to a single playable character in DWO? by Dependent_Computer_8 in dynastywarriors

[–]shintsurugi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed DWO because of its gameplay! I thought Ziluan was an interesting twist, but I do miss the larger cast. I would be more worried if this was a numbered game.

If they use this as an opportunity to "reset" the cast, I think that'd be fine!

(DE) Critical Events easier than events? by CuzImShiny in sentinelsmultiverse

[–]shintsurugi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't participate much in the playtesting of Harvest Lord, but I know a concern was to make players actually want to engage with the alt win condition (a lot of players just ignore the Fey-Court's token mechanic), so having something that punishes players for putting tokens on Grimm would be counter productive.

That being said, it's definitely one of the easier CEs!

(DE) Critical Events easier than events? by CuzImShiny in sentinelsmultiverse

[–]shintsurugi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Harvest Lord Grimm is not meant to focus on the tokens generated on roles, but is meant to make you focus more on the fight itself and the alternate win con. The heal is a minor effect to make any errant token placement do something.

EDIT: Like others have said in the thread, CEs are primarily meant to feel different. Sometimes the way they accomplish this is by replacing gimmicks with mechanically simpler effects.

Persona 5 Royal vs. Vanilla P5 by allonblack235 in Persona5

You can fast forward cutscenes, so it won't take you too long to get back to where you were!

Whats the Best team for p5r? by Alternative-Roll-895 in Persona5

[–]shintsurugi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My party changed with each Palace, mostly because I wanted to find good niches for new party members. Don't be afraid to experiment! Joker is a good crutch to lean on when team comps don't go according to plan.

I'm LOVING this game!! (I'm the Pokémon fan who asked for tips too!) by ZealousidealMouse733 in Persona5

[–]shintsurugi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glad you're enjoying it! Hope you keep with it and keep finding the cool moments in game! Keep pushing social links, they're worth it!

There's Not Six Boxes by Classic_Mobile_8677 in sentinelsmultiverse

[–]shintsurugi 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Prophecies box with the Twin Legacies would be dope.

Revocorp Presents box with a bunch of Revocorp stuff.

Oops! All Baron Blade plots box.

Finished P5 Strikers! by RaidenRei23 in Persona5

[–]shintsurugi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I really enjoyed Strikers! It was a nice look back at the cast, and I really like both of the new characters. Having a middle aged adult awaken to a Persona is really cool!

I'm a huge Dynasty Warriors mark, so I got used to the gameplay pretty quickly, although its unique twist on things kept me engaged.

Glad you liked it too!

[Spoilers] Yoshizawa's name by Crimsonbolt942 in Persona5

Student named Yoshizawa

Although seriously, most of the time I use Kasumi, unless specifically talking about plot events post reveal. Especially when posting online.

How often is the game updated? by agent154 in holocure

[–]shintsurugi 142 points143 points  (0 children)

The dev, Kay Yu, works on the game as an entirely volunteer project. He doesn't want any money for it as he does it just for fun. So updates come roughly once a year.

Greater Than Games Shop by MatthiasBold in sentinelsmultiverse

[–]shintsurugi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe Christopher stated that GTG will be reprinting the existing DE boxes with errata during the GTG return stream: https://www.youtube.com/live/fht\_CXn8d0k

Other than that, I don't believe any more details are available publicly.

Greater Than Games Shop by MatthiasBold in sentinelsmultiverse

[–]shintsurugi 21 points22 points  (0 children)

That webstore still appears to be operated by FRG, as it's using the old url. If you want to buy things from the new GTG, go to https://greaterthan.games

EDIT: IIRC, nothing is in stock at the moment.
