In misogyny news, Elizabeth Hargrave (rightly) called out the cover art for Tiny Epic Dungeons, the Kickstarter comments have devolved into an incel hellhole. BGG link here: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/2612018/can-we-talk-about-women-box-cover While I love the new BGG moderation, I'm still bummed by the volume of posts that have to be removed.

On the plus side, there's a ton of kickstarter comments in the vein of "I've been 10+ year contributor to BGG and got banned for having a different opinion" and "we need a [misogyny-safe] alternative to BGG". The new aggressive moderation seems to be weeding out the most noisy assholes, at least. Now if only Kickstarter had comment moderation...

Chill la Chill posted:Sounds like you enjoyed it. The only thing wrong with this last bit here is that you can’t just upbid your companies however you’d like. There’s a maximum starting and if the other players pass well you get it cheap so it’s still a win but you can’t easily get double the cost of a mini private. Fattening up the companies enough to make them enticing targets for others as well as your high revenue corp is part of what makes the game interesting. We did! But I'm not totally clear on your clarification. Based on what I've been reading is that the minimum price of a friendly sale company is STOCK PRICE * COMPANY SIZE. But that's just the minimum price. So if I'm running a company with gently caress-off money that can easily outbid my opponents, what's to stop me from deliberately overpaying for the company and maximising the return I get for the 60% shares I may hold via the SALE PRICE / SIZE? Like I said, only half a game and I'm not 100% on the rules so apologies if this seems obvious to you. VVVVV Ahhhhhhhh. Thank you. Wasn't clear on the size of the raises!

If you're the president of the co being sold, you can only up the bid by $5 each time. So to get to silly money, you need somebody willing to pay silly money -5, and why would they want to do you such a favour?

So to get to silly money, you need somebody willing to pay silly money -5, and why would they want to do you such a favour? $10, not $5, but otherwise yes. Technically the rules are silent on what the president can bid if everyone passes (the limit is $10 above the previous bid, but if there is no previous bid then ???) but everyone has pretty much agreed to interpret that as requiring the president to bid the minimum legal bid in that situation.

Here's what the creators have to say, and it seems like they are not making significant changes? I may be reading too far between the lines. quote:Additionally, we have heard the feedback regarding the art and how it is excluding some people who would otherwise enjoy this game. That was never our intention. That was never part of our vision of this game.So thank you for that feedback. We want Tiny Epic Dungeons to reach as wide of a player base as possible and to be enjoyed by everyone! That is why we have already made changes to the art, prior to launching on Kickstarter, and are looking at further ways to make sure this game is fun for everyone. We will also be more mindful of this feedback in our future projects.

Crackbone posted:Brother do I have a blog for you: Not to mention https://eschergirls.tumblr.com/ Regarding TED, it seems that they made the womens' costumes more modest but didn't change the poses. It's about as much as you can do without springing for a full graphic redesign, so the question is if it's still bad enough to require a full redesign or if they can get away with a slapped wrist and a promise not to do it again. I'd say the Rogue is now fine, but the Mage remains problematic because just painting pants on doesn't change the B&B pose.

If I want to get Archipelago, how important is the War and Peace expansion? Also in regards to solo play (if I can get the solo expansion as well)

It's not needed to make the game decent, but it's better with it. Playing solo it might actually be a drawback. You're not UKian, are you? I have the complete Archipelago, but I think Living Planet has supplanted it so I'd let it go. Jedit fucked around with this message at 11:44 on Mar 4, 2021 |

So War and Peace should be added later after a few plays and some experience with the game and never when playing solo. I'm in Germany unfortunately...

Sorry, I had an autocorrect - I meant to say Archipelago is better with the expansion. And there's no reason not to add it from the off unless you want to ease people in gently. Getting a game to you in Germany is more problematic than it used to be. Might not be impossible though.

I've been wanting to share this with you folks for awhile but I finally got permission https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K0XWV7EOMp3BE1zVucHLSUG75NnR9JY9/view?usp=sharing Unfortunately it has to be a link to the pdf, as you can't put pdf's on imgur and the .jpg doesn't do it justice. I was so amazed when Mr. Pfister showed this to me, my own Maracaibo card to be included in the new expansion!!! And it hints at the new expansion, Uprising, that's coming . Keep in mind that nothing is final until they release to retail, but this is in the works!!!! Note, I have no idea what the German says on the card, perhaps someone can translate?
