If I can't get anyone to play my MOUNTAINS of BattleCON with me, what's the point of buying any lesser games? Well...you might be able to get people to play those. BattleCON, while unquestionably the best, is kinda intimidating and since there's no random factor (a plus in my book, but...) it really puts newbies at a disadvantage. That said I've also largely sworn off 1v1 games because I just don't have one other person playing with me most of the time and when I do I mostly want to be cooperating with them.

I still haven’t opened my boxes of Sakura Arms. The completionism bug is a cruel mistress. I think I’m pretty much done in getting 1v1 fighting card games tho, since I pretty much have all of them.

I mostly play 1v1 games because I don't have enough friends, so stuff like BattleCON, Tash-Kalar, Summoner Wars are extremely my jam. My copy of Theurgy showed up the other day and while I really enjoyed the games of it I played pre-KS I'm now wondering how to get enough people together to have an actual game of it now I own it.

Michael Kelley of the One Stop Co-Op Shop has developed a few solo variants for some 1v1 games if you’re into that kinda thing. Just check the BGG pages for BattleCON, Exceed, Sakura Arms, Radlands, Super Fantasy Brawl, etc. I think there are a few more, he usually posts runthroughs on his YouTube channel. Edit: Ah, here’s a playlist of all of them: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrSwu7NfI3qc5NL_6ujx0XRWPBbo8hKYA

Ive managed to force people to play pixel tactics and I think I can get away with this. One of my friends is really REALLY into Exceed so I can probably trick him into playing  JazzFlight posted:Michael Kelley of the One Stop Co-Op Shop has developed a few solo variants for some 1v1 games if you’re into that kinda thing.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sandypuggames/hellpiercers-tactical-harrowing-action HELLPIERCERS is a tactical TTRPG in the vein of Lancer and 4th edition about Gnostic-Ascended humans leading a campaign of infernal abolition. I've been posting about this over on twitter for the last year or so but the big bullet points are;
Pre-launch page is up today, I'll be posting a preview doc that shows off a lot of this sometime next week/mid-December, and we're gunning for an early 2023 Kickstarter.

Kickstarter launching today for this... food-based 5e setting? No idea if it'll be any good, but I urge everyone to take a look at this incredible art:  Interview with one of the creators here (where I found these images) and Kickstarter page here. Also: HELLPIERCERS looks rad as hell, can't wait to see more on that one.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/loneshark/lords-of-vegas-americana/description Lords of Vegas reprint is up... but gently caress you for not having a $1 option and double gently caress you for having the loving campaign finish a day before Christmas.  It's one of a handful of games I would really like to have in my collection, but maybe gently caress you if you don't do late pledges.

They have removed a useful feature from their own campaign after KS made the $1 pledge more necessary due to their moneyboner for crypto bullshit.

Lords of Vegas deserves better. I wish the rights had went to a big publisher who could have made it the Monopoly Killer it deserves to be.

I'm not backing this new edition on principle--after the last time they crowdfunded it and oversold and told people "yeah we're not gonna refund. You just have to get a box of expansions you can't use and just sit on them until who knows when when we reprint the base game". I had to threaten a credit card chargeback to get my pledge back on that one

My Ironsworn: Starforged is finally shipping. I've been playing with my son and it's been a blast (I don't normally do solo games, but the game works really well as a co-op with a small child). Can't wait for hardcopy.

GreenBuckanneer posted:Mine also shipped. I don't read pdfs unless I have to Yeah, I played Ironsworn on PDF for awhile and then ordered the hard copy version. If I'm playing one of these solo RPGs, I don't really want to be chained to a screen. I don't mind for smaller "journal-ling" type solo things, but for something more meaty like this, I want to bring it to the table. Ordered the hardcopy for Starforged right off the bat.

Kickstarter for the next squadron set and a Campaign Supplement for Interceptor is now live. - Adds 10 more fighter models representing the Babylonian Union with new pilots to go along with it. - The Campaign Supplement will add rules for creating your own pilots and squadrons. It also has expanded rules for putting together missions and campaigns to get those pilots and squadrons experience... or get them turned into space goo. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/fasagames/interceptor-supplements

I got the hardcopy for Starforged today and it's really nice. Good production value. I have Hoplomachus Victorum coming on Friday. I am so out of storage space and that's going to be another big box. I need to sell a bunch of games I don't play anymore, for real.

I've played the tutorial fight and then through the next one and it seems pretty rad so far, although some sort of additional storage/organization solution for all the cards and tokens feels all but mandatory. I found a Kobalt box on sale at Lowes. The sheer amount of stuff in the box is pretty nuts. And apparently the two-campaign expansion they're working on is about the same size as the core box. The minis are also really nice, as far as pre-assembled PVC goes. The only other ones I've seen on this level are CMON's newer ASoIaF stuff (there's plenty I haven't seen, of course).

I still haven't gotten it to the table but it all looks top notch. I have most of next week off so I'm hoping to get it rolling sometime soon. I also got Hoplomachus Victorum in (which looks tiny next to Aeon Tresspass haha), but I did manage to play a few weeks of that campaign and it's pretty good. Hoplo with a campaign and some RPG advancement instead of just single fights is what I always wanted out of it.

Progression feels solid, combat is fun, and set up and tear down is quick, even in the middle of a campaign. Really easy to jump in and have a couple fights and then put it away, and keep all your progress handy for the next session.
