>>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

>>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

>>1483601sure, i'm just hoping it's soon
Hosting Lord of the Rings tcg for any anons scared of playing sandbox gamesIt's the weird movie tie-in tcg, not the popular ccgOne of the rare tcgs that can play with more than 2 players, table accomodates for 4. We can use starters or grab random draft packs and make horrible decks with them./vm/ ringurage
Lobby: /v/oard gamesPassword: rage>>1483616Oh hey a friend has that Aragorn Starter deck stored somewhere on his house, we never actually checked it out.
>>1483616Cool game, probably better with only 2 players. I don't think I should have been allowed to move thrice without any opposition
>>1483619Salty Sea Adventures were 4-handed and itch has been scratched. I'm not really a solo player but there's something really comfy about playing against yourself, probably my favorite part of learning a new game is going against myself trying different strategies.
Japan pieces are really cute. Look at that powerhouse.
>>1483616I heard the LoTR LCG game is really good too. That one is co-op.
>>1484191Many anons here are allergic to coops, they'd foam at the mouth at the mere thought. Unless it's arkham i suppose
>>1484203I'm not allergic, I just hate you all so much I can't bear thinking about benefiting you in any shape or form.But I'm also sexually attracted to otherworldly creatures beyond my comprehension, so there's that.
>>1484214Ok.
>>1484191>really good too>tooBut this one wasn't good at all
>>1483778What a mess of cards, dice and tokens. I love it.I wish my friends wanted to play it more often but the first game we had took almost 5 hours to play and they weren't very smitten with it. Makes me wonder if showing them this picture will make them want to give it another try or will scare them off for good lol.
games tonight?
>>1484348Sure, I've got a better shift this week so I just got off work. Pick one or suggest somethingIt's a Wonderful WorldBarrageYokohamaKeyflowerTigris & EuphratesA feast for odinTerraforming Mars
>>1484389Those seem fine, besides t&e and yokowill need a teach for keyflower though
>>1484394>besides t&e and yokoWhat's wrong with them?
>>1484389/v/oard, rage
>>1484431t&e didn't really grab me, and yoko gives me a headache when I look at the board
>>1484434Is yoko too difficult? I actually like how it looks
>>1484432Quick onitama game while we wait for at least one more guy to join us
>>1484455Yokohama is super easy, the map might look busy but it has very little but crucial information.
>>1484434>>1484455it's not a hard game at all, don't get scared by the map tiles, they're just locations that give specific things, depicted on the tile itself, the layout of the tiles is done that way for a gameplay reason
>>1483987That took a bit more effort than I was willing to put on it and the background art and icons are a bit low quality, but hey at least now I have some ok-ish PnPable files and we have access to the new factions to try.
>>1486527Cool, are we playing barrage tonight? I can pull an all nighter since I have day off tomorrow, dia de los muertos and all
>>1486807Idk what tonight is but I can play right now
>>1486897I mean in 10 hours
>>1486900That's gonna be difficult, I'll probably be playing irl but we'll see.
>>1486921I could probably play now but it'd look like my AP increased by x10 since I'm at work now and for the next 3 hours and after that i have plans
>>1486925>AP increased by x10So it'll take 10 hours to play! It's alright lad no biggies. In any case I'll upload the assets so even if I'm away you can try it.
>>1486897(You)
Hey guys! I'm with some friends in a boardgame bar. Could you recommend us some simple and easygoing ganes.

Anyone want to play some Unfathomable for late night sheninagans?

Anyone up for games in an hour or two?I was thinking of trying out Glen More

Pax PorfirianaThe Great ZimbabwerMerchants & MaraudersYokohamaThrough the AgesTeotihuacanWonderland's WarKeyflower
>>1488484Maybe he's just looking for an American-themed game.Like cowboys, big trucks and, idk, narcissism.
>>1488484i think it's supposed to be the design antithesis to "eurogame" type games all about action efficiency and planning ahead and resource management with minimal outside randomness like dicerolls, and maximum inside unpredictability like what action space your opponents are going to take and blockwhat anon means when he says "i want amerigames" is he wants Memoir '44
>>1489366Dude probably just wants catan or monopoly and uses "euro" as a substitute for "game i dont even want to try", doubt he even knows actual american games
is Stationfall a eurogame? i won't host it now but wanna know how many players i might get for it next week
>>1489563It's neither but it's made by an Eklund and people here are allergic to them
>>1489563Probably me and at least 2 other anons so 4, unless you're one of the other 2
>>1489569There's some pax addicts here however
Anyone up for games in 20 mins?
>>1489656What kind of games?
>>1489657Games no longer than 2 hours and a half and not catan or monopoly
>>1489664The time limit already excludes Monopoly, why mention it twice?
>>1489664>Didn't just reply with "board games"0/10 not joining.
>>1489681There are anons here who basically take any vague answer to "ok but what games?" as an excuse to demand utter shit games like monopoly, catan, munchkin and the like, and others (most likely the same ones as above) that reply to any kind of detailed list with "euros? not playing" when not even half of them are actual euros, so the best answer is a time constraint and a direct denial of the worst offenders
>>1489688Yeah but you missed a funny quip
Would Dune: Uprising (and Imperium) be considered a euro-game?
>>1490295Everything is an Euro game.
>>1490295You don't roll dice and it's not braindead easy so it's an eurogame
>>1490295There's no dice and it's braindead easy so it's an euro
>>1490295It's bad and shit so it's an eurogame
>Root is actually racistwtf I love Root now??!?!!
>>1490524But it's a eurogame thoughbeiteverno it isnt but who cares
>Le card battler>Le euroWhat's gonna be the next unfunny meme? My guess is hosting
>>1490534>spoilerdo it
>>1490534No, the unfunny meme serves to discourage the game (or type of game) from being played, so as to subtly push people to play the stuff that isn't mocked; aka "games I like".You can't discourage hosting, 'cause that will mean no one gets to play anything.
>>1490538>'cause that will mean no one gets to play anythingAnd that's what's happening right now. Hope you're happy.
>>1490538pretty much every game is euro in the eyes of the "picky" anons so nobody is playing anything already
>>1490540>Hope you're happy.Hey, I'm not any of those anons!>>1490541Nah, games have been sparse, but they are played.
Too much shitpostin' not enough hostin'. I can open a room for a short-ish game (1 hour) after I'm done with some stuff and before I leave to play irl, I don't know what it could be, open to suggestions.
I'm not hosting, I'm 2-handed playing grand austria hotel, but if at least 2 more anons join we can play something. Not necessarily GAH, but im not saying what game because joiners will help me decide (if there even are any)/v/oard, rage
any morning rooters??
>>1491058Root is gay and casually racist. I only play games that are gay and professionally racist
>>1491069Example?
>>1491074War of the Ring
>>1491074John Company
>>1491079Yeah, that /is/ pretty gay and racist.
>>1491086Any game that involves dice rolling is inherently homosexual. You cannot refute this.

>>1492217>I say this as an ameritrash enjoyer.That's a lie and even if its not, you dont host them either because you know people won't play it.Cope
>>1492217Hey buddy, simmer down, eh?
>>1492217Yeah, calm down Anon, can't you see they can't handle the truth
>>1492223I can't hear you over my enjoyment of Arkham Horror and other amerikinos, try not being a dickbag and maybe people will want to play with you.
>>1492079nobody here who keeps throwing "american" and "euro" around fucking knows, they just use the buzzwords as replacement for "thing i dont like" without even knowing what makes a game euro or americanAnd they still dont give actual examples of games they like, almost like they only want excuses to keep bitching, this is looking just like a /v/ thread
>>1492233>this is looking just like a /v/ threadYou can always go back to your private discord
>>1492233>make /v/eekend threads constantly>invite /v/anons here in every single one>why is this turning into a /v/ thread?Euro post
>>1492231This but Eldritch Horror
>>1492251I would agree with this if it wasn't for the fact that /v/ threads are only populated by /vm/ posters. If anything it's preferred since it keeps the vm thread longevous, with the exception of this mad shitposter that can't accept they are unlikable.
>>1492258Agreed sister, we should downvote it to show him that this is a euro thread
>>1492256Me too, I don't know why people prefer this doomsday event where several people work towards or against it from happening to occur in a small town in America when it really should be a glove-trotting adventure with people from many backgrounds banding together to stop the end of the world.I also really like the ticket tokens.
>>1492271Aren't most lovecraft stories highly centralized and happen in a single town/area too? Personally "globe-trotting" is the last thing I associate with eldritch stories, but I only have a surface level knowledge of themDidn't have a chance to try either board game
>>1492275Most of them do, but that's because of a narration standpoint. Lovecraft stories are very short and they feature one or 2 named characters because the lenght just doesn't have the time to flesh anybody out (even with little characters he doesn't really expand upon them since their experience is what's important).The narrative in the games feel like a grander scale than the experiences the single characters live through, even in "stop your uncle from summoning Time devourer" type of stories.
is it normal that whenever i learn a new game i feel like i wanna play it again and again till i bore of it? switching a game and learning again feels tedious, i wanna make use of the 2 hours i spent learning and play some more
>>1492834No, that's how you should feel. Quality over quantity and all that.Personally I love learning new games but I love playing one over and over and explore its different strategies and possibilities way more.
>>1492834Nah, it's just skill issue on your part. Eventually you'll just get to where whatever game you're playing and whether you're leaning it is truly meaningless, and just enjoy the act of interacting with the table at all. Until then, you've insulted me with your position and I request your individualized Steam ID code so that I never have to play with you again. Preferably in all forms, that being you 17 digit SteamID, your STEAM_:X:X:X Steam2 ID, and your U:X:X Steam3 ID
>>1492217I host regularly and get players too. Post some games you enjoy, wait for anons to respond with "oo that sounds cool i wanna play this" and host. It's that easy.
Where da hoests at?
>>1492947I could play something, can't host today though.
>>1492956That's nonsensical
>>1492957Connection issues, I don't wanna risk dropping the connection while hosting.While playing, it shouldn't be too big a deal to drop out for a few minutes, I hope.
>>1492921They're too insecure, it's the /v/ mentality of "im going to shit on X because you like it, im not saying what I like cause you will shit on it"
>>1493002where do you think you are? if /v/ bothers you so much, what are you doing here?

>>1493224finished the dune game, had lots of fun and placed 1st again, i think i might like euro guys...also, with this, the lobby is closed, thanks for coming everyone!
Root-Ultimate Collection or Root+Expansions (ENG/ITL)?
>>1493738Any of them is fine. A lot of people use Ultimate Collection but tourneyfags recently changed to (ENG/ITA) for some reason.
>>1493738Neither, I think Root isn't that good, Cole's other games are better
Euros are great. I love my games not actually having any mechanics and instead just being the same flimsy systems to gain victory points but with slightly different coats of paint. It make it so much easier to play more games as they're all the same flavor of cardboard, but ooooo this time the cardboard is in the shape of a wheel or some bullshit
>>1494090ooooog this time the plastic mini is shaped like my favorite movie character!!!!!
>>1494123>eurosisters are wojak postersnaruhodo
>>1494090>>1494123Still seething instead of actually playing games, good god you guys never change
We had gone a long time without somebody posting one of those, shame on you anon, be more classy on your shitposts.Anyway look at this, what a table hog! Makes you appreciate Tabletop Sim's organization sometimes. 1 little table shake and entire factories crumble lmao. Lovely lovely game. Learned that I acquired the 1st edition with the misprinted Reliabilty C components.... gonna have to fix that myself somehow
>>1494548I'm jelly I have to admit. Maybe that Lego recreation from the other anon might not be too crazy.
>>1494548>blogposting>/bgg/ posting
>>1494574Even worse>board game posting
board games today?
>>1494687I probably could tonight, but that's like, 6-8 hours from now.
>>1494548Oh my god, he even has color coded trays.Let's see Feast of Odin's table hog.
>>1494757I could get that and Norwegians for 90 bucks but idk I'm not sold on it, idk why I don't find it particularly interesting despite having a lot of mechanics I enjoy in it .

I would like to play the game but I don't wanna throw up shit games and then have no one like me

>>1495979I wanted to do a long session but came down with a sickness, hopefully I'll get better tomorrow.
>>1495979(You) are the usual host, anon. You just haven't realized that it's inside you all alongI'm inside you all along

I've got an itch for TfM or maybe Lords of Waterdeep, hit me up if interested

>>1496811bah, closedwe'll have a proper game of tfm one day, i swear it
>>1496842Why not play with 2?
>>1496850Well, you got this big map in front of you to fill out and many projects and potential stuff to happen; the game is simply inviting more than just 2 guys.That's one reason, the other I'm too shy to admit.
>>1496857>the other I'm too shy to admit.do you just hate terraforming mars and see it as an excuse to get many people together, so playing it at 2 defeats the purpose?
>>1496907No, don't be silly, there are other games i'd pick if I was doing it for that
>>1496842aaaaaaaa stop adding that extra f, it's TM, nobody calls it TfMcouldve hit me up btw, i dont check the thread that often
>>1497004>spoilerHow do I join the discord
>>1497006by killing yourself, you euro hating, discord and card battler schizo
>>1497006if you joined games instead of shitposting you would get some steam friend requests too. or if >>1497008 is right then theres a good reason you arent receiving any
>>1497006The worm host, but you gotta sign up with his analytics app and log at least 10 games in order to get the invite. You can also ask for the in-game tool: it can be used to log games while he's not hosting, but it requires at least 2 other verified players in order for the subsequent API call to be processed (it's actually pretty neat, since they need to supply their keys, and in-game it's just these actual keys that have the codes stored in their lua that you plop into the app tool). Just know that it also only processes those API calls every 3 hours, so you can't just spam it.
>>1497524>Instead of a open discord channel its actually a closed group of steam that just hosts for themselvesThats even fucking worse, it explains the screenshots of games that no one hosted.
>>1497573There is no group, anon. People simply don't like you.
>>1497538Don't forget about the small 250 dollar deposit and sample feet pics, those are obligatory.But seriously, there is no group, discord or whatever you might believe, you can be autistic about screenshots but at the end of the day it's just anons playing together. Now stop being bickering and play some baord games while you have the chance whydontcha.
>>1497538>>1497573holy schizo.you need to put the same effort you put in those shitpost delusions of yours in more beneficial pursuits, like trying not to be grumpy and speaking in chud buzzwords at all times
>>1497006Step 1) host at least onceStep 2) there is no discord, you just solved your problems with no need for conspiratorial theories that everyone is in on "it" except you
>>1497004>stop adding that extra f, it's TM, nobody calls it TfMi will to not confuse TM (Terra Mystica) with TfM (TerraForming Mars)
>Find a game you like>Host itIt's as shrimple as that
>>1497825>Find a game you like
>>1497748>chud buzzwordsBasic english is too hard for you? Are you feeling called out because you let slip your private group on the thread?
>>1497897"Is basic English too hard for you?"*Nice try though, you're definitely improving.
>>1497906Post it on the discord channel
>>1497897Come on you know exactly what i'm referring to, using "tranny" or "troon" as substitute for every other word isn't "basic english"
>>1497912>none of the posts contain "tranny" or "troon"Schizo
>>1497913I know who you are, don't play dumb, you're literally the only one in the entire thread who insists on this discord thing, and also the only one who cant stop thinking about trannies while in game

>>1500091depends
>>1500091Yesplaying 2p sucks
I pity the fools who miss the joys of good 2p games
>>1500306I play them just fine but i'm not about to boot up tts to play games 2p, I can play tta and ts through the digital version just fine
>>1500306Well then niggas stop needing to show up. I keep thinking "yeah it seems slow enough, let's play some 2P games," but then you FAGGOTS have the AUDACITY to SHOW UP and WANT to PLAY the board games. Seriously, who the fuck does that.
>>1500344good, adapt to OUR needs, hostoid. dance monkey, dance!!
>>1500335Not every good 2p game has a digital edition, and not every digital edition is good or up to date
>>1500306Most 2p games are card battlers and>hosting card battlerlol
>>1500393>Most 2p games are card battlersNuh uh
>>1500393Why do homosexuals hate card battling so much?
>>1500404Card battlers are inherently gay and homosexual, its pointless to try to deflect it
anyone who says or implies "[thing] bad" without explaining why is full of shitif they weren't full of shit they'd have the capacity for rational thought and the ability to explain themselves and their rationale for why [thing] bad
>>1500436Bad post
>>1500436your post bad
>>1500436"[thing] bad" is bad only when [thing] is thing i like, but when [thing] is thing i dont like then it's fine, hence>card battlers badbad>euros badgood
>>1500436>>1500495Also, no i dont think card battlers are bad, just kinda boring and samey and think there are better options, even in 2p games, and i do sometimes themmeanwhile none of the euro detractors have explained their reasoning yet
Eurotrash bad
Thread is so active, anons must be playing a lot of board games.
>>1500506I think euro games are boring and samey and think there are better options, even at 3p+, and I do sometimes play them
Tomorrow, what do we play....
>>1500550>>1500552But you call everything an euro game so maybe you just dont like boardgames at all
>>1500551Oh but I am, just irlBecause anons are too busy being snobby and picky but never even tell what they actually want to play within reason because they're insecureCant host today or tomorrow but on saturday / sunday ill make another few attempts
>>1500551Work has me cucked out of hosting most of the time sadly, I don't get much free time on weekdays. When I get home I'm either tired, busy, or going out to play board games irl.But I trust the good lads of /vm/ will keep activity high in my stead, right?
>>1500809Schedule on the discord channel
>>1500920>what they actually want to play within reasonI'll tell>2 player onlyBattleCON, Sakura Arms, Commands & Colors/Memoir '44/Panzer Vor!, Avianos*>3~5 playerArcs, Root, Chinatown, Galaxy Trucker (with expansions), John Company, Bus, The Great Zimbabwe, Roads and Boats, La Famiglia, March of the Ants, Eclipse**>5+ playerStationfall, Sidereal Confluence, maybe more*but sadly it's a videogame, i like it's systems though. Active drafting of gods that determine what actions you get, and denying actions to the opponent, AND specializing into a god gives upgrades to their actions, is a fun mechanic. All it needs is a non-videogame battle resolution mechanism.**only to see how bad it is, because from what i read of the rulebook it's pretty much TI4 but more combat and less interesting, and thus worse.
>>1501108oh and this isnt an exhaustive list, just what i thought of in the momentthe actual list is longer and it'll be faster to name games i dont wanna play
>>1501108>lists 2 card battlers and a whole lot of euros

>>1501406Wait for more of the regular hosts later. You'll get your invite in-game if you participate, simple as. Games still get posted to the thread though, it's just the schedule that's kept in-'cord to keep things organized without the player scum masses whining about it.
What time roughly do you guys play? I just got tts and wondered if I could play with my 4chan friends.
>>1501504Is it actually fun or is it another worker placement where the only player interaction is the bare minimum of locking spaces because the author is incompetent and/or retarded
>>1501543It's a game about anime. The author is definitely incompetent and retarded.>>1501538I don't think any of the hosts have a set time to hosting, they just post here with the lobby info. Maybe giving a heads up a couple hours before.
>>1501538approximately now +- 4~6 hoursthere's a lot of people in the thread and they live in different timezones
>>1501546Yeah I read through the rulebook and it seems worker placement and hiring cards from the pool are the only player interactionsTheme is also weak, looks like it was changed from movie making to anime at the last second

>>1505215when is "soon"? Tonight? Next weekend?I wanna play those games but i need to know when
>>15052652 more weeks trust the plan>>1505215like the anon above, depends on when, i can give arcs another chance just fine if you want to play it that badly
>>1505255>>1505286>>1505289What time works best for you guys?Do you know the games? factoring in teaching.
>>1505663>timeuh, more or less an hour and a half ago. around that time since the game is 60-120 which with the /vm/ debuff will become 3 hoursYes i know the game somewhat, it just didn't strike me as a game I'd play more than a couple times
>>1505663approx. four hours ago would've been a good time to startI know and remember the rules to Arcs and know and don't remember the rules to Voidfall
>>1505663Monday-Thursdays 8:30PM ET+2Friday 5 ET+2Weekends starting 10AM ET+2I learned the game but I'll need a refresher, and since my availability sucks don't worry about me much if the others can play at different times.
>>1504820What's wrong with them is that they are too darn fun.There is tension at all times during the game and you have to continuously keep your opponents in check while finding ways to get an edge yourself, that goes for all Pax games, at least the ones I've played (Porfiriana, Ren, Viking and Pamir).Also good God is it hard Toppling in Porf when everybody knows what they are doing. Managed to get 6 Outrage prestige to win early-ish and I got absolutely destroyed by smart Speculation "trading" and forcing a Depression at the right time, then people built their coffers back up and due to a misplay in count Black ended up winning via Gold Victory after Red went for a Command Topple too early. Such lovely games.
>>1505695>>1505702>>1505707Voidfall Wednesday?Maybe like 10:00 AM CST?I can teach, but if I have to teach at all its going to be a tutorial scenario.
>>1505987Ah, I was talking about Arcs. Not really interested in Voidfall, sorry. But don't mind me I'm the one with the shitty timeframes.
>>1505987Sounds reasonable to me but I'll still suggest hosting on fridays and weekend days because more people can show up then. Not everyone is a NEET or willing to ruin a sleep schedule for games.
>>1505989>>1506056I'll host whenever, I'm unemployed so until I get another job (which is shit in this market) I'm free to game.

>>1508279there really just needs to be a fucking discord or steam group or some shit.
>>1508279>reply in advance>host forgets to wake up on time >>1507600You can see based on the voidfall post anons do reply to hosts that ask for interest, so I have no idea who you're complaining about. In fact hosts should do it more often to avoid situations like today where 4 different people decided to try hosting in the middle of the night on a weekday without notice and no one got enough players
