GrandpaPants posted:I wonder if FFG would care enough to just retheme these games so that they can continue to sell them. WHF > Runebound-verse, WH40K > Twilight Imperiumverse. It's not like it would be a difficult conversion, but I don't know if there's enough of a business driver. Of course, it's not gonna happen since they're already going to release a miniatures game in the setting. Wizard Styles fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Sep 9, 2016 |

Toshimo posted:In the far-off year of Two Thousand and Seventeen, mankind continues their search for the ultimate form of entertainment. Their quest brings them into possession of relics of a bygone age known simply as Talisman. It is spoken of only in whispers, as the very practice of producing the game has been forbidden by the dreaded Games Workshop. The markings on the pieces seem to indicate a primitive attempt to recreate the game on the remnants of discarded refuse. Who or what could have possessed a man to carve the game from literal garbage, we may never know. But still, his legacy lives on. If you listen closely to the wind on a moonless night, you can hear the cries... Rutibex....

I like GW licenses. There's not enough big goofy sci-fi properties and a lot of stuff GW doesn't touch directly ends up being good. I don't know what they're going to do now but if they go back to making games themselves I'm out. After that tragic naval game from a few years back and blowing up the fantasy universe I don't know how they haven't bankrupted themselves.dropkickpikachu posted:Wow people are buying up stock of stuff pretty fast in light of this news.

I've got a question for the cats who've played Pandemic Legacy. So I didn't realize it was 4 players max and I have a group of 5, is it feasible to add another player in? Or would the best thing to do is just have two people play as one player in the game?

You could house-rule a fifth player in but balance is going to be absolutely hosed. Probably better to just have one person act as a strategist or something for the whole team.

Each additional player runs down the limited deck, which can get smaller than normal through gameplay. I've read about people sharing the same character and it working out well considering the game is cooperative.

I think the demand part is when a distributor orders a batch to stock, not when a consumer orders them. They print them in country a few at a time to meet the specific order, rather than needing to do huge print runs in China with months of wait time. So hopefully if they continue to manufacture product until February when they lose the license, distributors will be placing bigger orders and their printers will be working over time.

Yeah, I kinda figured throwing a fifth player in would throw a wrench in the gears, drat. I'll just have to figure something out, thanks!

Well, printing when a customer orders a copy is the definition of print-on-demand I've come to know. Maybe that's how they work it to keep costs lower than normal, I just thought it was funny like a Steam game selling out because they didn't generate enough digital keys.

For an example of this, one of the leading indicators of this fallout saw all of FFG's RPGs based on GW licenses being pulled from Drive-Thru-RPG. Those aren't even physical products that are getting printed, and they're basically more or less 'sold out' now. This is not a happy split.

So I have 6 people showing up to board game night this week, when our usual number is 5. I can always go to Keyflower, but we've recently done 3 plays in a row of that game. My other options are Dominant Species, Eclipse, Imperial, and Steampunk rally. I think we're looking for something heavier than steampunk. I know how long Eclipse takes with 6, given I've been in that scenario before. How much of a clusterfuck would be doing a 6 player teaching game of Dominant Species or Imperial?

Dominant Species is pretty easy to teach, considering that your actual play option is "take this action" or "take that action." Usually the learning conversation is like "oh what does speciate do again? Oh ya, right. Ok what is the wasteland? Ohhh ok. I'm going to do this, then." Maybe if you have to teach it to all five, it might be a mess, but if 50% of the table has played once before it shouldn't be too bad. Just lay out the point-scoring objectives first, tell them about the glaciers, and get off to the races.

I know you said your group plays keyflower, but dominant species allows for plays that really destroy opponents board position even more than keyflower. So make sure your players all have thick skin.

We are all the type of people who will use their first action in winter phase of Keyflower to purposefully lay 3 meeples on our closest score rival's most important town space just so they can't complete their strategy. In general is 6 a good number for Dominant Species?

I haven't actually played with 6 but I'd imagine it's quite good. The map will probably be very interesting, very complex but very interesting
