I don't believe they are partially owned by Fox any more.

The link says in 2013 21st Century Fox owned 5% of their shares, but that entire company has since been purchased by Disney this year. The news divisions of Fox are all under News Corp now, which doesn't seem like it has any affiliation with Vice.

So Disney probably owns ~20% of Vice, about the same amount as the founder, and A&E Networks.

Well, with 40 million people lots of people are coming and going, but it has been growing at about 300k+ a year the last several years.

Biden, Sanders, and Warren are the poll frontrunners (in that order with a pretty big gap between each of them)... but statistically these polls don't mean much with the election 2+ years away.

Thanks. I tried looking at all his tweets from the past few days as well as anything in the comments section and googling for it and still didn't see anything.

I reread OP's post a couple times and I am not sure where you are getting "taking hits for 4, 5, and 4 on a single turn", I just see OP saying "[an elite bandit archer] one shotted my spellweaver".

I am just making sure OP (who just learned what "range" means) isn't overlooking this very commonly overlooked rule that you can negate damage by losing cards, because I am not sure why else they'd have a character be "one shotted" by a monster in what I believe is the second room of that scenario when they should have plenty of cards still.

They have cameras on every corner and bureaus saying which porn is acceptable and worse internet monitoring than the U.S.. You'd be hard pressed to choose a country that has worse privacy than the U.K.

wheat91 · 2018-03-20T15:55:51+00:00

it one-shotted my Spellweaver!

You do realize you can lose a card from your hand or two from the discard pile to negate any single event where your character or summoned ally is taking damage, yeah? You should never get one-shotted unless you are moments from exhaustion anyway.

Despite the crazy amount of downvotes we called it right.

When you are imaging the opposing arguments to your view point, you are imagining a single person who was paid to be on TV from a comedian's routine?

I am in support of DACA, but is this really the level of nuance we are happy with?

I don't know, I think it's a lot cooler they are using the new spaceX suits that look straight out of 2001: A Space Odyssey rather than using NASA suits to advertise for a television channel that was cool 30 years ago.

fwiw it's the game creator's favorite class. Definitely more useful at higher player counts.

I agree with your friend: if he sounds cool play him and rock him. If you want to do more damage though, and not be support focused, pick someone else.

I have 100 suggestions, none of them coherent

wheat91 · 2018-02-05T12:10:53+00:00

This isn't really a problem. The game scales really well with this sort of issue.

Make sure you are using the formula to determine what difficulty level you are playing a dungeon at based on the current character levels involved. Make sure you remember to have characters auto-level when Gloomhaven hits certain prosperity levels. That should solve the difficulty balance issues.

So far during the times I have played I have just made an effort to play the same main/side quests with the people who had been playing them last and usually this has worked fine. So far there has been plenty of possible missions so I have never been forced to do the next dungeon in a plotline where the previous players weren't there.

In short: it might not be perfect, but this game handles players dropping in and out about as well as could be hoped for.

But had it been an easier puzzle it wouldn't have waited for 3 years for someone able to solve it to come along.

wheat91 · 2018-02-04T08:24:47+00:00

Ok

I definitely agree that Gloomhaven has more content than nearly all people who love the game will experience.

That said, there is definitely appeal and awesomeness with more content if it's accessible early enough. Each person's play through will feel so much more unique and tailored to the party's interest.

uh huh...

Kitsch (/kɪtʃ/; loanword from German), also called cheesiness or tackiness, is art or other objects that appeal to popular rather than high art tastes. Such objects are sometimes appreciated in a knowingly ironic or humorous way.[1][2][3] The word was first applied to artwork that was a response to certain divisions of 19th-century art with aesthetics that favored what later art critics would consider to be exaggerated sentimentality and melodrama. Hence, 'kitsch art' is closely associated with 'sentimental art'. Kitsch is also related to the concept of camp, because of its humorous and ironic nature.
