Japanese Dating Sim posted:Nemo's War is getting a reprint with a mini expansion in a Kickstarter that will be starting today. The preview page is here, will go live at some point today. I'm still kinda annoyed at VPG for delaying Darkest Night for so long and severely screwing up the miniatures (and in their latest update, saying the final game will have 10 white dice instead of 9 white and 1 black because something about the manufacturer claiming it would further delay the project). There's just been a lack of attention to detail and they've really dropped communication with their backers about it.

Has the remake or 2nd Edition even hit stores yes? I´ve missed their Kickstarter for it and it looks georgoeous. Other than than, Nemo´s War v1 was a nice little, very self contained game that was very difficult and dependend on being really lucky with dice rolls as there wasn´t really that much in the way of strategy or things to "impact" on the game board. You really only decide where to travel to and if to attack ships, rolling dice to see if you sink them or no. Also it´s incredibly easy to lose.

I got my KS copy a while ago and it looks real nice, but also real scary to try and play, so many tokens and stuff  Hoping maybe someday I'll dare the seas.

There's a board game shelving system up called Box Throne. I don't know much about furniture, so I can't really speak to how good or bad it might be.

Three copies of the game are $2500 and 5 copies are $5000, making it more expensive if you buy in bulk. 1 = $500 3 = $2,500 5 = $5,000 That's some hosed up math.

You might get both of them working together against a specific threat that targets them both. You probably won't get a happy high five afterwards so much as one of them kicking the other in the head. That's where reality differs, but the base idea - groups that loathe each other can sometimes work together against a perceived common threat - isn't that absurd. Let's not forget that the KKK, the American Nazi Party, and the Nation of Islam formed their weird alliance in no small part because of a shared hatred of the Jews. Politics are weird, ugly, and often full of contradiction, especially when we're talking about the extreme right - naziism, fascism, and the rest are almost universally opportunistic 'scavenger' ideologies that regularly make bizarre counter-ideological decisions for short-term benefits.

After some googling it looks pretty unique. Like i couldn't go homebrew that. 1. It's pretty expensive and shipping is expensive. 2. It does at like ~25% more space then stacking games. So not sure who buys enough games to warrant $400 shelves but doesn't have too many for the system?

I like how many shelving units try to solve the problem of storing 12" squared boxes, which was already solved by the Ikea Kallax, but none of them try to solve the problem of the giant rear end long boxes like Gloomhaven, Gallerist, and Twilight Imperium.

This one actually does solve that. It has extrawide shelves between 2 base units. And it can accommodate the height differences. You need a large horizontal space though.

The thing is that this guy wants to make a game about fighting fascism in America, where the particular brand of fascism is one that's apparently being simultaneously opposed by radical leftists, radical right-wing militia groups, radical Christian extremists, and wealthy capitalists, and maybe it's a failure of imagination on my part but I can't quite square that circle, especially in the year 2017 where there's ample evidence to support the fact that actually the far right, evangelicals, militias, and the 1% are pretty okay with an inexorable slide towards fascism actually, and I don't actually care if the game is set in the 80s because I'm pretty sure all of those people were still assholes 30-some-odd years ago. I can't take the premise seriously...the numbers station that turns you into a super-cyborg is more believable...and a game where you have to sit down and state up-front "okay, so we're all clear we won't be working alongside the group that wants to make A Handmaid's Tale a reality" isn't one that appeals to me. Also lol at this guy calibrating his political compass by consulting with one actually decent person and one libertarian shithead. I can't remember the last time I went from "oh this sound cool" to "oh this sounds real dumb" in less than 24 hours. I'll wait for the inevitable F&F.

Oh, the game's execution of it definitely sounds shonky as hell. I'm mostly addressing the whole 'in a vacuum, concept can work' 'district 13 did it badly therefore the idea is invalid' thing.

Oh I quite like that, and don’t think it’s too expensive. I didn’t look at shipping costs, admittedly. Hot guy doing most of the modelling helps, too.

Okay, so, if I'm reading this right, one player has to wait three turns before they can do anything, turns are probably long and complex, and RON PAUL BUY GOLD is the message?

rydiafan posted:1 = $500 You missed the $1000 tier, which includes all previous tiers, i.e. also includes the $500 tier (the $2,500 and $5000 tiers exclude it). So the $1000 and $2,500 tiers are identical.

He wants only the hidden elites to buy his game so he can start secretly tracking them using their kickstarter data. The joke’s on him though why would they want to play a realistic simulation of the life they’re already living?
