Updated the OP with relevant information about release and the Usurpers DLC. If anyone has something else I should add or if the mechanics are unclear, let me know.

The descriptions of the new heroes are good.
One thing I would add, though, is a warning to avoid the GoG version since it seems that it's not getting supported (for example, no Usurpers) by the devs unlike the Steam version.

Done.


Also, I'm available after 9 P.M. most nights for Armello. I have a new kid, so I won't be consistently there. Worth a shot though.

I would be down to do more Armello at some point, especially if we can get a regular group of four going on a whatever-ly basis.

The devs do streams regularly and they're very entertaining.

Oh yeah, baby. Frame your suffering as a masterpiece. Only one problem - no one's watching. It's boring, buddy, boring as death.
Anyone out there play this on ps4 still? Great change of pace game for me, love jumping in once in a while.

I'm sometimes free on weekends; my schedule is a bit weird lately. http://steamcommunity.com/id/kaethela/ is my Steam profile, add me and just pester me when things are happening.

I'm available most Saturday nights for drunk Armello


Also, I updated the OP again. I keep thinking more of the art needs to be shown off, so I go and get more of it. They really did do a good job creating a feel for this game.

Sargon is hilariously good. Being able to cherry-pick the best draws every turn owns, especially when you have a gigantic hand size.

Ghor has to be my favorite at the moment. Being a weak, stupid looking bear and then changing into a tree wizard the instant I step into a forest feels good, man. The forest is mine, motherfuckers.

I made an event for this coming Saturday at 9PM EST/1AM GMT cause I don't know where any of ya'll motherfuckers are, if people don't show up for that (or you yell in here about it long enough beforehand) we can try other times.

Orv
May 4, 2011
I'm afraid, barring a miracle, I won't make it tonight, making me the worst rear end in a top hat. Sorry folks. We can try again tomorrow or next week, depending on peoples times, or if enough of you do show up play anyway.

This game is great and I'm glad as I bought it blind. I particularly like that they use the advantages of not being an actual board game for secret moves and invisible units and such, which sucks as a real life version would have been a rad thing to own.

Well two of us played a game with randoms and it was great. I added everyone in the group as a friend on Steam so I can yell at you directly next time it's time.

Orv

It's short notice but it's longer notice than the random event I made and didn't tell anyone about, so there's now one for tomorrow evening at 5PM PST/8PM EST/GooglePM GMT.

I might be able to play. If we get a full goon-game, would people be interested in trying custom rules? I kinda wanna try Stronger Guards, rando-follower at start, and remove the Stranger. Would be happy just to play default mode tho

I found this game in a sale (https://www.nuuvem.com/item/armello) and Im almost buying just cause it looks so cute, but it is really good?

How is the single player experience? Seems like a good game for MP but I rarely play anything MP, Im more like a loner gamer

It's really fun if you play with a group, preferably with constant shittalking. SP is the exact same game as MP but against the computer, and... it's not a super great experience. The AI can be kinda stupid and they have a weird tendency to focus you down to the exclusion of everything else.

Don't come onto the forums much, but when I do, I find out there is a Goon Group for everything!

YAY FOR ARMELLO SHENANIGANS!

So glad I bought this game on sale, it plays great for a digital board game and has made me want to read the Redwall books again.

We'll have to give it yet another try, we only got a couple games in due to scheduling, and I'm not sure how much that can be.. Armelliorated. gently caress me and everything I stand for.

Everything is automated, which makes it way easier than an IRL boardgame. The rules/cards take some getting used to, but it's a pretty easy game to pick up.

Also, even if you know you're going to lose horribly, you still get plenty of chances to be an absolute gently caress and completely derail someone else's sure win. Sometimes you'll have so much success being an absolute gently caress that you accidentally place yourself in a position to potentially win the game. It's like a cross between Game of Thrones and the animated Robin Hood movie, except everything is ruled by Murphy's Law and everyone is an insane rear end in a top hat.

It's pretty fun. The rules do take a couple of games to become familiar, but by the time that happens you're starting up another game before you even think about it, because there are a bunch of cards you haven't seen and maybe this time you'll try Marcurio and you've got another hour or two before you have to think about going to bed. Then, before you know it, the rules are second-nature and it's goddamn 2 in the morning.
