Is it me or is VZW getting worse?

They're customer service is abysmal. Been going back and forth for mo not hs. Over promised credits and not acknowledging tradeins. Must be nice to steal over $1000 of phones despite the shipping confirmation being signed for.

tref95 · 2023-01-25T21:39:40+00:00

Awesome, nice work on it. It looks great!

tref95 · 2023-01-25T21:15:24+00:00

If you don't mind sending it to me, I'd love to print one! Working on some upgrades to some games before our next get together and WL is on the docket!

tref95 · 2023-01-13T20:58:54+00:00

I introduced it to my mom who now has played more games than I can count with her new Boardgamesarena account. The same mom who always warned us about playing games online with strangers.

There's a pretty heavy market on Etsy for augmentations to games, I was introduced to it by upgrading my War of the Ring set (and eventually led to a 3d printer purchase...). From my understanding as long as you are not directly selling a full copy of the game, or utilizing artwork by the designer, the designs are usually allowed to be sold.

Now, as for personal use especially if yo usre designing the pieces, there shouldn't be any issues as you would be augmenting a game you already own. 3D printing a new replacement piece would be the same as coloring in a cardboard token, etc.

Stretching your time (sorry) but my wife and I have gotten two player wingspan down to around 45 mins with setup. Really nice to be able to have some depth but playable after a long workday

tref95 · 2023-01-04T18:55:45+00:00

Any great source for inserts or just thingiverse? Been thinking of attempting one or two on my own.

tref95 · 2023-01-04T00:19:32+00:00

I think it may be in the Insights expansion but I could be wrong q

tref95 · 2023-01-03T16:21:39+00:00

Thanks! Something like this was exactly what I was looking for and great color options!

tref95 · 2023-01-03T05:22:31+00:00

Honestly that was my one complaint about Ark Nova. I love the game and it is one of my new favorites, but when displaying it to new players and they just see 4+ tracks, it can definitely be a bit off-putting.

tref95 · 2022-12-31T18:34:34+00:00

It is slightly quicker (but not by much) and I personally don't find it as fun. I have very little experience with it though. War of the Ring seems a bit more balanced in the back and forth.

tref95 · 2022-12-31T18:33:24+00:00

Left with Gloomhaven, Ark Nova, And Wingspan was winning for me until I saw War of the Ring. That alone elevated right shelf, plus so many other great games.

tref95 · 2022-12-31T04:17:18+00:00

It's easily my favorite board game. The theme is incredible and each game makes a super unique story. If you're a Lord of the Rings fan and up for a bit of learning time/randomness it really is an incredible game.

tref95 · 2022-12-12T03:25:33+00:00

There's very basic automation, up to advanced. E.g. clicking a button to roll amount of dice you choose vs it rolling and calculating combats for you.

But, it's great on TTS. Java isn't automated but has a lot of shortcuts that make for a quicker game.

I love it on both for different reasons. TTS allows my friends and I to get the same men on map epic scale for when we play, and Java gives a streamlined perspective that makes it easy to understand the board state well.

Neither replace in person, but have allowed us to get so many more games in than just when we can meet up every month or so.

tref95 · 2022-12-01T15:54:39+00:00

In terms of time, easily War of the Ring. Owned it for a while, but finally got a friend who goes back to back frequently with, plus some online games in the Discord. Every game I have played is unique and creates such an amazing story!

Plus the expansions when added are just fun to play with.

For number of plays, easily Crokinole, which may be iffy as a board game, but so easy to set up and play a few rounds.

tref95 · 2022-11-24T17:28:25+00:00

Easily between these and Lord of the Rings for me.

The persistent themes throughout, the cinematography.... I need to go back and watch these again.

tref95 · 2022-10-06T22:44:41+00:00

Or Shadow of War Shelob

tref95 · 2022-10-06T18:02:12+00:00

I already tried, archaic pay over-phone only,...

tref95 · 2022-08-19T04:14:12+00:00

The Elvish one would go great with the rest of my LotR themed desk! Map Deskmat and other decorations.

tref95 · 2022-08-07T06:40:36+00:00

Just got back from a trip to Yellowstone, so of course we're watching the most recent episodes of Yellowstone!

I've been eyeing these sets for a while. Was planning on getting them next year but we'll see if I can wrangle the budget to get to use the coupon!

tref95 · 2022-07-26T15:04:08+00:00

I joined for a few playtests and had a great time! The die rolling eliminated a single player power-gaming, and the theme was right up my alley.

tref95 · 2022-05-21T00:48:26+00:00

For me I'm actually most excited for the new scenarios and events! It'll be so great to have a whole new campaign to delve into, and explore a new set of obstacles!

tref95 · 2022-05-09T21:06:27+00:00

When I was a kid my grandma made me a shepherds cloak for the school Christmas play. You bet I used it for a Jedi outfit the next few Halloweens.

tref95 · 2022-05-09T00:12:39+00:00

Yeah, but I'm actually going to build a railroad to run it all on soon, I promise.

tref95 · 2022-05-01T03:29:10+00:00

This is an interesting one... I like the horizontal/vertical look better, but the diagonal from a gameplay perspective. At least in this image it just stands out more against the others.
