Bubble-T posted:There's a (near?) 100% victory strategy as the British. IIRC Wallace tried to patch it out of the game but ultimately just admitted that the game would always be broken and the only thing possible was to provide different scenarios which would all be broken in some way but hopefully it would take players a while to discover how in each case. my friend bought the game and was all, "I would love to play this with you but for the sake of having our experience not suck, please don't look up the Halifax Hammer" to his wife. and his wife is all, ".... is that a sex thing?" that is my few acres of snow story.

The funny thing is Halifax Hammer isn't the only ultra thin deck strategy, it's just the fastest one that doesn't let the French do much. If you play the game the way it's supposed to be played, it ends up taking forever and being a slog through bloated decks.

Tekopo posted:i think the dead of winter pbp im in pretty much confirmed to me that the game is lovely and that i would hate it even IRL I've seen people on other forums be told they're playing badly when they take a bunch of exposure dice damage because they should have used fuel to avoid rolling. It's pretty funny reading that thread and seeing your group have basically no fuel ever while rolling a ton of frostbite. There also seems to be very little actual suspicion/deduction and not enough information to discern if someone's a traitor or just a selfish/bad player, so I guess you're just supposed to exile anyone actually attempting to fulfill their own win condition??

It feels somewhat cathartic when I was initially interested in a game like Dead of Winter that I decided to wait and see and as it turns out the game is a huge overhyped turd. Also why would anyone ever not vote to exile a player who is stealing from other players.

It's almost Arkham Horror levels of really popular and really bad although I doubt that will continue once it's no longer the current new hotness. There's also two (2) pbp threads going on right now and another already completed.

Dungeon Petz has the worst marketing of all time. Between the premise of baby monster pet shop and that stupid, unnecessary Z, none if my friends will give it a shot because it sounds like it was made for tweens.

Wait really? Have they played Dungeon Lords? How the hell is "we're growing baby monsters in a pretty heavy worker placement game" not a compelling counter-argument? have they played *any* Vlaada games?

The name is bad but if that's enough to make anyone not want to play it, that's fair grounds to brutally murder the person in question irl. The same applies to anyone who won't play Tragedy Looper because of the anime or anyone who won't play the first editions of Catacombs because the art looks like it came out of a lovely 80s RPG manual.
