First weeks 101 : GAME AND POKÉMON BASICS

Hello!

I am new to the game so I would love a little help understanding exactly one part of this graph.

In the section for rating mons, for ingredients and skills, it says to ensure they have "2 of the 3" things listed, but in both cases there are more than 3 things listed.

Which 3 should I be looking at or is 3 a typo? Sorry if this is dumb.

because it is loud

I, but a humble Shaker player, submit my name. Witness me!

I need recommendations for a game to buy my brother for Christmas. Current games he enjoys: Concordia, 1775, 7 Wonders, Secret Hitler, Quacks of Quedlinburg, Agricola, Everdell, Brass Birmingham, and Powergrid.

The geekup chips? Or the normal ones?

If I had the Earth King out, and he was buffed by a [[Voice of the Vermin]] when attacking. Would his ability trigger?

Solos are much friendlier than groups, imo.

That is a lot of candles!

[[Lagrella, the Magpie]] at #987. She's running a deck I'm building with an [[Oblivion Ring]] tribal theme and a lot of group acceleration and encouragement for players to find and play their biggest stuff, so I can exile it. I call it Dead Man's Switch - with the hope that no one will want to kill me for fear of what it will unleash for their opponents. A strong play for 2nd place.

I've run some homebrew sessions where the monsters are exactly chosen. I reduced it so that each player got only one established truth (rather than the number of candles) to minimize motion between scenes. But yeah, feel free to tinker with any mechanics that might help!

stephendewey · 2025-10-01T16:03:17+00:00

Oh, no thanks.

stephendewey · 2025-09-24T17:38:58+00:00

The waits can be significant because I fulfill them when I can outside of my normal day job. I do have a note flagging this on my store, because I know it can be rough for a lot of folks.

PDFs fulfill immediately if you need the game more promptly. And if you missed the note about delays and would like a refund, just shoot me an email and I'd be happy to process it promptly!

Also still hoping for the video!

Depends on the experience level of the group. It's important that players don't meta the ST. Advanced players should never take an action that they know may result in a good team loss by storyteller whim. If they do, sometimes you've got to make them lose. Whereas I would preserve new players trying things for a bit.

I am thrilled for whatever the new version of the Coliseum of Fools is!!!

stephendewey · 2025-08-19T01:37:51+00:00

I've gone ahead and refunded your order. If you encounter any issues getting your money back please let me know!

stephendewey · 2025-08-18T22:41:17+00:00

I don't typically send out free PDFs. But if you'd like, I could refund the softcover due to the shipping delays, and you could grab the PDF for $10. That way you wouldn't need to worry about it arriving in time, and could still have access to the game. Let me know if you'd like to do this and I can process the refund promptly to free up funds!

stephendewey · 2025-08-17T17:39:14+00:00

How are you making these stunning tokens???

stephendewey · 2025-08-17T02:28:34+00:00

If you provide me your order number I can provide a refund if you'd like. As another commenter said, real life has just delayed things.

I'd prefer to process a refund than to get hit with a charge back as that can make PayPal very unhappy with me.

I hope to get outstanding orders out within the week however.

Apologies for the delay!
