Yeah okay, but how will you include it?
Because it's actually even more boring and lame if you just state that female characters dress in skimpy armor, while on their sheet it says full plate, with all the bonuses to defenses associated with it.

At least to me, the proper creative and mechanically interesting way is to have skimpy armor and "proper" armor existing in the world AND system side-by-side, both with their own advantages and disadvantages. Things inside the world become more tangible once they are also mechanically represented.

>boxes of first set only need 1 or 2 boxes for a complete set of lower rarity cards and only need to buy singles of higher rarity so most don't bother buying boxes
>LGSes asked to host events for the card game but the main distributor for the cards are the online shop so the physical stores can't make any profit selling the boxes for markup because no one will buy it there when they can just buy it online
>newest kickstarter set seeds of unity originally has a set goal of 50k, easily hit
>whoa whoa WHOA hold on a minute, we actually meant the goal was 2.5 MILLION dollars for our crowdfund! We can't print the set unless we get our 2 mill!
>people cancel preorders and spread the word that the game is dying
>crowdfund falls short, damage control by creators, "we didn't meet our goal but we will still ship the set, in the future we will have to readjust our production line"
All in all, their booster box prices are crashing HARD and it's in meltdown mode. People want to sell out before all interest dies. Not sure if they can recover honestly.
It might be fun to buy if they end up being like $5-10 in the future just to crack packs

>>97360568
Damn, sounds like they got greedy. To be fair, it kinda felt like they were greedy to begin with, what with the whole NFT-adjacent nonsense about an online database for "ownership" of the cards.

>Ignition Monster Effects (Japanese: 起き動どう効こう果か Kidō Kōka, "Startup effect") are Spell Speed 1 effects that require a manual activation by the card's controller during their own Main Phase 1 or 2. This type of effect used to be called a Cost Effect in the early days of Yu-Gi-Oh!, which was slightly confusing because not all of those monsters had a cost.
in Magic you'd call these "activated abilities"

>>97361172

Gonna be playing strange aeons with my friends. The party is a barbarian, mesmerist, and a witch. I was looking at the oracle. The thematic suggestions are dark tapestry, lore, and time. As a first time oracle I was curious which of these I would have the least amount of trouble with.

Dunno if the devs know their audience but they definitely know the IP holder.

>>97359680
Eh, difficulty-wise they are all about the same. Without spoiling anything big I will mention that Lore would see the most roleplay benefits in the early books, whereas dark tapestry and time in the later books.

>>97360570
Could you elaborate a bit without spoilers if possible?

>>97361062
In the early books there are multiple opportunities for the more nerdy aligned character to shine, and it does not completely fall off even in the later books either.
Dark Tapestry related stuff is more of a background theme for the early books unless you consider things like undead related to that.
For the Time related stuff it it hard to say anything without spoiling, but it comes up very late fully.

Nothing bigger than S3 has been metal for years. First they switched over to Siocast, and then the S6 and S7 models switched to Unicool.

>Worst game breakup
I thought Pandemic was pretty solid and then I realized that a couple of games I lost were 100% unwinnable given the deck and have had zero desire to ever touch it again.

Make no mistake, I love bullshit games (the kind of game where strategies are pointless and you are fate's bitch like Betrayal and DungeonQuest), however, when a game is decidedly NOT a bullshit game from a design philosophy and mechanics perspective but has a major bullshit element it can fuck off. Note that I don't consider dice based resolution mechanics as bullshit, it has to be some kind of element where "You Lose" is basically a determined outcome from something that was predetermined at a much earlier state and you are just fucking off waiting for the game to tell you that you wasted an hour for no fucking reason because the deck said "fuck you" a long time ago.

>>97358155
>If theres so much combat and it sounds like you can build so many ships, is combat ever dramatic though, since you'll just replenish quickly?
I didn't mean to imply that it's just non-stop combat. Some people here refer to Eclipse as a euro for some reason. My understanding is that this is because it's mostly NOT combat, but exploring, managing your empire's resources, unlocking technologies and juicing up your ship designs.

What I meant is that everything about the game is in service of the combat though. The reason you're exploring, colonising, and unlocking technologies is primarily to make a fuck off fleet and genocide your neighbours.

Generally, my games tend to be mostly passive, with people keeping to themselves for more than half of the game and building up their fleets, followed by a couple of explosive turns at the end where massive fights start happening. However, the last couple were really something else, with the galactic core thing being taken and immediately contested by turn 3, skirmishes and backdoor shenanigans every turn.

>dramatic
It's almost always dramatic regardless of the phase of the game and it's precisely because ships are expensive. Early on it's because all you have are two weak-ass ships shooting waterguns at NPCs that you hope will eventually hit and you can expand, and later on it's because you spent 3 hours building up your armada and if your enemy punches through, everyone you know and love (represented by VPs) will burn with the help of hydrogen bombs.

>replenish quickly?
Over the course of a game, you will feasibly get enough resources to make one big fleet. You can replenish a couple of individual ships that you lost earlier, but if you go balls to the wall and lose an end-game fleet, your best hope is to hunker down behind starbases and hope that nobody finishes you off.

Fuck I want to play Eclipse so bad.

>>97361001
Not that anon, but I think something that made the game a bit more passive for my group was the realization that the most powerful fleet is the potential one. Sure you need to blast some ancients to get to the juicy hexes and maybe 2e changed some things, but being able to build in hexes with enemies present meant keeping your resources high while aggressively exploring is a very good strategy for almost every faction because your ships can, for the cost of a few actions, instantly be where you want them to be. It is, of course, passive by design but still needs a coordinated effort to break. Naturally there are a lot of counters to that, lotsa fighters with neutron bombs, cloaking device and so on. But it made our games significantly less bloodthristy. Now, that sounds very gay and boring but I assure anons reading this it isn't. Just wanted to throw in my experience and learning curve from haha fuck you pew pew in space to calculated economic and military strikes. It's interesting.

>>97360696
>What’s your worst/best board game break up story?
Worst game breakup was Gloomhaven because I love most of the game except that it's an absolutely massive unplayable timesink, at least in my situation.

Best game breakup was my ex whose behavior during the game and dragging drama both ways between game and real life proved very reliable warning signs. Thanks, forgotten boardgame!

>>97361001
>Some people here refer to Eclipse as a euro for some reason.
because it's a game of maximizing your actions and action economy and resources. you don't upgrade ships until you have "using the upgraded ships for fighting" in your immediate plans, because if you just upgrade then you're wasting an action that you could've spent as a research, or explore, or even an extra point of control to get more materials/science to be even more efficient with your builds
not saying that that's bad, btw, i love optimizationmaxxing, but i just prefer to call a spade a spade and not an "enlongated tool that can be used for digging" because then some fool will compare a spade to a spoon.

>>97361056
To play the devil's advocate, a potential fleet is only a defence tool. To win you need to be aggressive, taking combats and stealing enemy land at least in the last round, so potential fleets don't help you win the game, they just defend a theoretical win you might not actually have. Also systems guarded by neutrals are usually better than unguarded ones, so not having an active fleet early means you're not taking those hexes as early (unless you play the one faction that ignores neutrals) and that means missing out on big money that could accelerate you beyond what your opponents have. It is an economics war game, and that's why being active can be good.

>>97354386

around 5 years. i started it shortly after my exposure to the culture war, which was around 2019. the game at this point shares very little with the first iteration. the main thing it still shares is that it uses memes for pictures, but that's about it. that's also another reason the name has changed, because it's a different game. i have also changed a lot over those 5 years, unrecognizably in some areas. i'd hope that most people who been on this ride since normie season ended 2015ish (w/ trump) have also changed a lot.

>>97360673
While osmosisposting is a problem, getting a name wrong might well just be a case of remembering it wrong. At some point in these threads I remember getting unreasonably annoyed by someone repeatedly calling Salina something like Serina, but that anon appeared to still kmow the substance of the lore while getting the name wrong. Bigger problem than mistakes with names are people coming in with assumptions and expectations not based on anything in the books and then acting like the game's in the wrong for not matching those assumptions and expectations.

Fuckin forgot to post before I went to bed. Sorry for leaving you hanging.

My personal experience boils down to a single utter shitshow of a game which didn't even last a session, because the GM quite literally opened with "Okay so you're all on a spaceship and you want to go do some heresy, there's three planets nearby, a forgeworld, an agriworld, and a hiveworld, pick one and then go kill some people." The situation devolved from there. Note the distinct lack of "who are your guys and what are their motives, why are you all working together, what's your objective" in there. An hour in and nobody's mentioned my name once, the GM clearly doesn't care to go into enough detail to make tech-use applicable, so I mentally check out, lower the volume to something less distracting, and go finish a video lecture. Get up for a bathroom break, come back, the server's fucking gone. I ask my buddy, another player, what the fuck happened, and he just says "Sometimes you gotta rip it out root and stem, man."

Now that's just a shit GM being a shit GM, but it's representative of a subset of people who are only there to do lolrandom dumbfuckery. Black Crusade attracts those like flies, because they see "this game is about being horrible evil chaos bastards" and they think "oh, finally, a game for me!" They don't want to engage with the game as it's meant to be played, they want to use it as an excuse to act in ways that are unacceptable at a table, and they think the subject matter gives them that excuse. Y'know, like FATAL.

This is not exclusive to the lolrandoms, either, but I'm fresh out of brain juice so I'm just gonna tell you to imagine That Guy, think about what makes him That Guy, and think about whether he thinks he could use Black Crusade as an excuse for being That Guy. I'm telling you, man, it's like flies. And it's fucking shameful, because the careful political aspects of balancing a chaos warband are actually a compelling premise.
