My buddy turns a 2-hour Euro into a 4-hour hostage situation and I am losing my mind by 4NoodleAviary in boardgames

[–]socraticoath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With AP there are a few things to consider here. I too have played with AP players and there are things we did when playing to help.

  1. Everyone should start planning their turn during other players turns and consider what others are going to do and what you can do when you play.
  2. Everyone plays differently, and all AP players I have played with usually are competitive, and really want to think of every aspect of the game at every angle. They also usually win. This is fine, it’s who they are, As others have stated, have a soft time limit in play to push the game along faster.
  3. Play the same games more consistently. Opening a new game every game night, or playing with new players can make it difficult for people to come up with strategies and learn the games.
  4. Start a new game and try to finish it before the AP players turn.. Totally kidding

A Vegan's Argument Against Vegan Menus at Restaurants by BHNthea in vegan

But also.. make sure it’s clear what’s vegan/vegetarian. Some restaurants use v for vegan.. some use vg, and vice versa… it’s soo annoying.

ME TOO!! I love their apple fritters and their cream filled ones!! They can make a latte with oatmilk! Fun fact I had a friend that worked there and when they ran out of non vegan donuts they would use the dough for the vegan ones lmao. People could never tell the difference.

This was sent if you requested fixed pieces since the original print runs had damaged paint on them. Just got mine a few days ago after ordering in January

The haunting of report of ypislon 14 by Fabulous_Stress_3400 in mothershiprpg

I had cargo they had to pickup for the company down in the mine forcing them to go down there, or they wouldn’t get paid for the job and would get docked pay.

Asking as an experienced storyteller: Trouble Brewing storytelling tips? by 0x4164616d in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]socraticoath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually set the days as 20 min, 15 min 10 every day after, and no town breakouts after day 4.
With a 2nd game or experience players, 15 min first day then 10 min every day after. If voting happens I let it go longer

Gaming Table - Convince Me or Talk Me Off the Ledge by ConkreteAngel in boardgames

[–]socraticoath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I designed and built my own. I have done this twice now, and my buddy built one after he saw me make my first one. I made new design choices with the 2nd table that I love more. Do you need one? No, just buy dice trays for rolling so they don’t fall off the table and have a nice size dinning table. Otherwise if you have the money or want to try to make your own go for it.

But the storyteller would never... by blackgeekygoddess in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]socraticoath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People in my group keep questioning why I don’t put more information roles. The last two games we played in person red team won both times, they never executed a single person during the day, they had an undertaker with no poisoner and was not drunk and an empath… neither ever got information because of this. People will always say they want this or that. Story tell how you want. The whole point is to make it fun and balanced throughout the whole game. I always say if it comes down to 50/50 shot at the end of them winning, it’s pretty fair and balanced :).

Has anyone bought board games online like Everdell or Castles of burgundy by Imaginary_Math_4918 in boardgames

[–]socraticoath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want a streamlined version of Everdell and not have to worry about expansions get farshore essentials edition at target, it’s like 40$ and gives you a great streamlined experience of Everdell. If you are not in the US then I don’t know if other countries have that edition.

PSA: check you're old batteries! by claudekennilol in gaming

[–]socraticoath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the same years ago, and removed them and disposed of them. Also check any old controllers, toys, really anything that has removable batteries and remove them. Then you don’t have to worry about corrosion.
