keeping seen meeples visible is a disrespect to the intent of the game. That's why I don't let anyone use calculators, rules reminders, glasses, or chairs at my games.

Mayveena posted:I'm sorry but that's crazy. 18xx games are MEANT to be used with calculators. And as a designer myself, and if you choose to watch the video, you'll see exactly how wrong you are. Tom Lehmann, Richard Breese, Alexander Pfister, Joeren from Splotter, my co-designers, Bruce Harper the project lead on several Avalon Hill games back in the day, have no issue with house rules. I have no idea why you would think that somehow the designers are at your table watching what you do. haha yes, as pointed out by someone else earlier I meant this satirically - overall I'm fine with altering rules like that to fit the needs of players at the table (and I need a personally need a calculator to play any game that adds numbers together larger than 5.) But I was talking with someone earlier about this and they mentioned how hiding some information helps reduce AP and I've also seen that, so I would basically take it on a table-by-table basis.

Funzo posted:I signed up for Border Reivers in June of last year, it hit the P500 goal at the end of July last year, and is still waiting for production. I have no idea if that's a typical timeline though. untzthatshit posted:What's the turnaround on these GMT P500 projects like? Is it similar to Kickstarter, where it's basically at least a year out but likely even longer? When a game is stil in process of design it can take a while and the P500 is essentially a long pre-order with indeterminate duration. So it's a kickstarter. If you do a P500 of something that already exists but is currently between printings, it is more likely to come to in a more definite time frame after it hits its goal.

MK is very good and was maybe my favorite game for a number of years but it does feel like Spirit Island has at this point taken its crown. Just about everything MK does, SI does in a more streamlined way. I will say that the real powerhouses of Mage Knight are your units, artifacts and spells - the combos involved there (and the planning involved to make those combos happen) are where stuff really goes off. And the combos you get there are more involved and intricate than anything you'll pull off in a game of spirit island with less than three people in it. It really rewards playing as multiple different mages because the differences between them don't feel so stark at first but actually become quite large given time. Also play your solo games on the really well done VASSAL mod or TTS. Setting that up every time is going to give you RSI Impermanent fucked around with this message at 17:15 on Jun 3, 2021 |

Mayveena posted:I don't know what's happening with Vlaada but he needs to redo Mage Knight to current rules and design standards. At its core it's a really good game but it's just too difficult to play, like the 21st century version of Magic Realm. what i want is for Vlaada to do this, but to Magic Realm. give me modern day magic realm. give me Mage Knight 2: More Tables and Chits edition

nordichammer posted:I am not sure exactly how to phrase this question, so bear with me. Battlecon is great at this. so is EXCEED, the new line of games like that from level99. In fact a lot of level99 has this: argent the consortium and bullet are also full of varied faction/character abilities. Among more classic euro-y options, The Voyages of Marco Polo has wildly variable characters in it. I believe marcopolo II has these as well but I haven't played it. Mage Knight's various characters are also very distinct and don't have much additional rules overhead at the cost of the whole game having a ton of rules overhead, but it is very much in the vein of spirit island if that's what you're into. just a lot less elegant. Tash-Kalar: Arena of Legends hhas highly varied factions in its game, and each one feels extremely different to play. Terra Mystica and Gaia Project also have very different factions that aren't quite as diverse as the spirit island spirits but also don't require as much rules overhead s something like Root. There's an expansion for Caverna that adds factions. Not sure how good it is.

Context posted:Spirit Island is easily one of my favorite games, easily top 5, maybe top 3. It's the kind of game I feel like I could play forever - and my group has never touched half of the adversaries or any of the special scenarios. The only wrinkle is, we only ever win with a Terror Level 3 victory (destroy all cities). Is this normal? Are there any adversaries that would force us to go for a Level 2 or full-fear victory? small games with wildfire in them I've seen terror level 1 vics. rare but it happens. As stated above, fear spirit heavy games will more frequently win by running the deck.

I think we should recc some of the now quite good co op lcgs as well. There's a lot of overlap in what arkham lcg does and in what spirit island does, but arkham has a lower buy in.
