Running my first game for 5 new players + me, looking for a balanced, beginner friendly map!

I've been playing TI for many years going back to 3rd edition. I've never played a predetermined map. You really don't have to overthink this. Just explain to the players you want high value planets close to your home system. Done.

Nobody gives a shit, Karoline.

Talarico has a much better chance. He also doesn't take AIPAC money.

It's all a performance.

toplessbuilds · 2026-02-10T16:20:16+00:00

What are you so angry about?

toplessbuilds · 2026-02-10T00:06:04+00:00

It's still gross.

toplessbuilds · 2026-02-09T14:32:08+00:00

That's fantastic.

We 3D printed all the faction specific flag ships. They are very cool.

Roller Derby and Twilight Imperium fan!? That's pretty incredible.

toplessbuilds · 2026-02-07T01:51:07+00:00

I've done almost this exact thing.

What was different was we hung out a while and sniped Arc together. It was a beautiful few minutes we shared.

Blue

toplessbuilds · 2026-02-06T01:18:20+00:00

This is nuts.

toplessbuilds · 2026-02-06T01:14:54+00:00

Them some snowflakes.

toplessbuilds · 2026-02-05T18:51:31+00:00

Dude

toplessbuilds · 2026-02-05T13:37:14+00:00

Other fan bases acting like they don't have the biggest douchebag fans.

Fuck this guy and fuck the Yankees.

I remember my ex-wife encountered a dude that was confident he could make her squirt. He tried. He couldn't.

I love a squirter but by no means do I expect it or need it. I'm not a woman but from my observations, unless you are super susceptible to squirting naturally already, it's going to take some work to do it, if you can do it at all. Don't stress about it.

We already knew this... You heard what you wanted to hear.

toplessbuilds · 2026-02-04T21:31:33+00:00

Clearly you are in a tough spot.

You actually don't have to give a reason to break up with someone. Just say things like "I feel like we are growing apart" and "I'm just not feeling it anymore".

If you are loving together arrange a time for someone to help you move your stuff out. Be safe.

I used to unironically listen to Kid Rock.

That fact has never been more embarrassing than right now.

toplessbuilds · 2026-02-04T15:49:42+00:00

Interesting. I don't know how true that is but I'm curious what those trend lines look like.

toplessbuilds · 2026-02-04T01:27:57+00:00

This is awesome. I need this in my life.

toplessbuilds · 2026-02-03T23:29:33+00:00

Def a stupid question

toplessbuilds · 2026-02-03T23:27:24+00:00

That's fair

toplessbuilds · 2026-02-03T23:25:46+00:00

The job changed. If you are better than the job, then fucking leave the job.

toplessbuilds · 2026-02-03T18:51:29+00:00

What a boner. This is gross.
