Covok posted:What is the gooncensus on OVA 2nd Edition? The game that is trying to be a better BESM? From reading it over, it looked good, but I haven't played it yet. EDIT: It may or may not fall into the "The developer had to be forced to play a combat as written to acknowledge that there was a problem with it" pit too.

The Strange Fire Area is also pretty mundane by comparison.

Tatum Girlparts posted:The newer version of the pokemon tabletop is much less cumbersome but still needs a good trip behind the woodshed to actually be smooth to use. I guess it's a baby steps thing, it went from basically unplayable to playable with some work. United or Adventures dude because there IS a split you know. Also it's always been playable unless you are stupid enough to make a 6x6 pokemon fight that will take hours haha

The great thing about that Kirby map was that he probably drew it in an afternoon, freehand, and filled in all the details on the fly. I run hot and cold on his artwork but the guy was just an amazing wellspring of creativity that never ran out. That map is for a setting he created in his fourth decade of professional work. He just kept turning out page after page after page of amazing things from his imagination and never stopped. It's even more impressive when you consider that he led an incredibly boring life - chained to his drawing board, turning out three or more books worth of material every month, not doing anything exciting or adventurous or mind-expanding (unlike Steranko, who grew up in a family of bootleggers and made a living as a stage magician, professional escape artist, and burglar, and also played guitar with Bill Haley and the Comets, before turning to comics). Kirby just basically sat there at his board, all day every day, cranking out work to provide for his family, and instead of killing his brain dead it led to work like that map. Just an incredible talent. Basically, all hail King Kirby.

No, I mean the ones that came in the booster packs. It's surprisingly hard to find a spoiler list for them. e: Oops, never mind; should have just scrolled down. There's a list with everything except one of the three promo cards. Evil Mastermind fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Aug 28, 2015 |

And yea 'unplayable' is too harsh, especially for a thing made by a bunch of fans. Countblanc posted:Every download link I find for that sends me to the same mediafire page with a broken zip http://www.mediafire.com/download/lbbtmqi7e75k7td/PTU+1.05.zip Does this work?

That's odd, because going by past experiences, nothing gets published when someone spends all their kickstarter money on cocaine.

Hey guys - I'm moving to Minnesota soon and am wondering what the tabletop scene is there. I'm used to the Chicago suburbs where it seems like there's a local (ish) meta for just about everything. Is there a cool store around the twin cities area? I know of Games by James but that seems to be only board games with no playing space at either location.
