Games hosted/played so far
>>1478352Is any anon cool with teaching me War of the ring? We don't need to finish the game.Also would be down to play Voidfall or Pax ren
Late Night GamesLobby: /vm/ - AAAAAAAAAAAAAAPass; tittiesGame: I dunno, probably Fromage or something, also still got some learn-and-playsPing: 999sWill keep it up for as much of this episode of Mythbusters I've got left
>>1478432You reminded me I also want to learn WotR.I can teach you Pax Ren but only at around 9pm ET if during weekdays.
>>1478587if there's anything I know about WotR, its that the rulebook is awful and you should watch how to plays/learn on dized
>>1478718Were you thinking of playing it 2v2 or date night?
>>1478432>>1478587I can teach WotR, just say what time
>>1478756Are you free today? I can play in like an hour if you want. I don't expect to complete a game though just because its going to take literal hours if that's cool
>>1478759Works for me
>>1478779I'll link my steam.https://steamcommunity.com/id/sneeDMessiah/
>>1478802Cool comment section
>>1478806What can I say? I have a great history with Tekken and Dota
>>1478808>DotaEver tried Guards of Atlantis II?
>>1478815I have crowdfunded it but it's been like 2 years and they haven't shipped it yet.
>>1478802If you want to play, you may want to just host instead of waiting for a friend request.
>>1478828HDR glow just for you anon
>>1478828>>1478802Yeah sorry, thing dragged on. I'm not adding you on steam, but I can open up the lobby for WotR/vm/otrrage
>>1478832
>>1478833Won by the absolute skin of my teeth, literally 1 action dice away from winning. The Free Peoples of Middle Earth endured...>won with 11 corruption on crack of doomhttps://youtu.be/BtEC3pNEMhY?si=6OlwEcLlVdEOTmSh&t=35
>>1479099from losing*I can't type
>>1479099How was it?
>>1479113I liked it and I usually don't like ameritrash that much>t. hostThat being said Fellowship managed to stack 8 movement before I finally managed to roll a successful hunt, moving almost straight into Mordor from his starting position and that's just one example of bad luck. You're at the mercy of RNG far more than in something like Twilight Struggle or at least it feels that way after first game
>>1479113I was the Free Peoples player, and it was extremely fun.Learning from anything else other than the rulebook makes the game much easier.But as >>1479118 said, there is still dice rolling. You can mitigate it with cards and other shit, but the difference between some dice rolls can make or break an entire fight, snowballing into the end of the game.If he didn't roll 4's in one siege that nuked an entire army he had, he would've won the game.
>spend 1 card to play >spend 1 card to activate ability >draw 2 cards >terrible stat lineup brilliant
Wasn't expecting another root expansion to drop out of nowhere
>>1479390>The skunks are 3 vagabonds.Lmao. That's perfectly cursed.
I've never looked at it before, but the lobby browser is some pretty interesting insight into what people are playing. Large amounts of 40k, EDH, and Smegmar, but also a lot of TCG games I didn't think had traction, like Sorcery gets a surprising number of players often.
>>1479390Great, that's JUST FUCKING GREATMy insert might as well be worthless now.
>>1479390I wouldn't say out of nowhere since they announced it and shared the pnp boards as they updated the factions months ago but yes it is pretty cool.>>1479538My tuckbox method will probably be enough to keep all the content spread alongside the base + 1 expansion box if I put the hirelings away. But I'll probably make or order a custom big box to keep it all in one place.
>>1479538What's the issue? You can just carve another one out of wood.
>>1479113>>1479118>>1479126From reviews online and what I've heard talking with people at meetups, it's one of those games you don't really focus on winning, but rather to create alternate outcomes for a grandiose and tense retelling of the books. Aside from a couple guys hellbent on calling it a masterpiece of tactical wargaming, most told me that it's a game where you simply enjoy the ride (but that shouldn't be played with 4 people, i don't know why exactly).
games?
>>1479747I'd be remiss to host right now, as I feel tired enough that I can't guarantee playing too much, but I'd be down.
>>1479755I got an idea as to what we can play,room open/vm/ board gamesrage
>>1479768I can play in like an hour, but i have a meeting soon.
>>1479785Playing Harmonies with 3/4
>>1479824Thanks for the game, was fun
>>1479824Game done, Blue won with 116 vs 93 vs 84we laid down tiles and animals on themI'll leave the lobby open and idle for now, in case anyone's interested in some more board games >>1479768
>>1479906is it closed now?
>>1480012yep
>>1480014Reopen it
>>1480667Yes master/vm/ board gamesrage
>>14806702 in, playing harmonies in a bit
>>1480683Room closed, we did a quick game of harmonies
>he is going to keep spamming harmoniesI have created a monsterjust kidding, keep going
>>1480718harmonies is the new clover, get readybut nah, everyone's stricken with a cloud of malaise, and harmonies is light and short, with just a little bit of spice in it.
>>1480727When was the last time Clover was played anyway? I remember it been played at least once a day for a time.
>>1480727Understandable, me tooAnd it's a better option than clover anyways>>1480735It still gets plays from time to time though with less players, the hype died down a little
>>1480735It's still seen on the occasion. It's kinda "solved", people generally have a notion of how to connect 2 words to one clue, so a lot of the funny nonsense that clover incited is gone.But it was great while the honeymoon period lasted.
Anyone here play too many bones on TTS?
>>1480760Haven't, but I would be up for it
>>1480763Do you know the game?
>>1480778Nope!I could learn it for tomorrow, in case you plan to host it.
>>1480780Sure we could try to set up some time tomorrow for it. I don't know how well the TTS mod is for it though
>>1480874There's a fuckton of them, some of them with scripts so there's ought to be a good one.
>>1479466If only they weren't all discord-gatelocked
>>1481029>discord-gateWhat does this even mean
>>1481033most friend groups use a chat platform like discord, and put a password on their TTS games to lock it so that only the friends in the friend group can join, and they share the password on discord where the friend group isor so it seems, i don't use the platform named after an absolute breakdown of communications
>>1481037How can you complain about people using passwords to play within their own group when that's the entire purpose of this general
>>1481044For some reason he used a friend group example instead of a "public" discord.
>>1481044i'm not the anon complaining i'm just the anon explainingi'm perfectly fine with private lobbies, what i want to complain about is the lack of public lobbies due to lack of TTS Global Chat>>1481060true there are public LFG groups like TTSClub that mandate the same server name and password but other than that say "go ham" but even in their case you can understand the password restriction to ward off the people from outside the discord, because discord has voice chat integrated into it and it works better than default TTS VC so people using TTSClub and similar discord servers prefer to only play with other discordites, and that is their equivalent of "within their own [friend] group"
>>1481131Do you know if the new factions are imported already?
>>1481142Not that I know of
>>1481131Some of those badgers caught jaundice
