>If there's one thing above all others that's a deal-breaker for you when it comes to a board game, what is it? (Bad rules, bad editing, unappealing artwork, low quality materials, etc.)
Any half assing, whether it's in quality of the material of components or rulebook layout. But generall if it's a fun game its whatever.
Misaligned printing is by far the worst though.

>Are there some games you can't play with your regular group or certain friends because you know it'll either lead to a rules argument or a load of 'butt-hurt' when a 'betrayal' component in game is used against someone?
I have accepted the fact that my friends will never play Archipelago with me even though it's one of my favourite games.

>Do you have a personal 'pet peeve' when it comes to board gaming? (The infamous 'No Coasters' Heresy for example.)
Sperg that tap my cards against shit or bend them. Enough was enough when they started doing it with my Kingdom Death shit and I told them straight up I'd slap their god damn faces off if they damaged anything.

> Are you fortunate enough to game with a good group of fellow board gamers who can separate 'in game shenanigans' from real life and thus not take the in-game drama personally?
Thankfully yes. Everyone comes in with a good attitude and accepts it's just a game.

The thing that will kill my desire to play a game faster than any other is badly edited rules. When I have to try and guess what the designer meant, or parts of the rules are literally missing from the rule book it irks me a lot. (Bonus points for no errata being available either...)

> > Are there some games you can't play with your regular group or certain friends because you know it'll either lead to a rules argument or a load of 'butt-hurt' when a 'betrayal' component in game is used against someone?

There are a couple of teen age players I game with sometimes and I do occasionally have to remind folks that the betrayal mechanisms aren't personal attacks on them.

> > Do you have a personal 'pet peeve' when it comes to board gaming? (The infamous 'No Coasters' Heresy for example.)

The one thing that seriously pisses me off is people being careless or needlessly rough with my game components. I understand accidents happen, but when someone runs greasy hands all over the game, or generally doesn't give a shit because they didn't pay for it, I definitely get cheesed off.

> > Are you fortunate enough to game with a good group of fellow board gamers who can separate 'in game shenanigans' from real life and thus not take the in-game drama personally?

With rare exception, I can bring out a variety of games with 'take that' mechanics and everyone laughs and has a good time even if they aren't winning. And for that I'm both fortunate and thankful.

That sucks - I really like Archipelago too.

Are you me? (I so have your back on that one bro!)

Whatever happened to Quest Quest?

Goddammit, I need more coffee.

>>46684570
It's possible. Given her (at least on-screen) personality as a player, I'm not sure it's likely. She doesn't appear to really know how to play the game either.

Hahaha no.

More accurately it's the alignment that's most easily abused, sometimes even without meaning too. It's for this reason that I never let anyone play CN even if I know they are good roleplayers. I always believed CN was the alignment of mental patients, people who cannot understand themselves or the world around them enough to function.

While it can be played well, it tends to attract douchebags and those who want to be evil without pinging a paladin's gaydar.

>>46682386
So wouldn't they just move one up the chain then and play true neutral?
It's not really going to stop people from playing characters where one of the dnd alignments isn't one of the key focuses of the character.

Yes. That's known as basic metallurgy.

Gold coins in D&D are 100% gold

Under trade goods:
>1 pound of gold = 50 gp

1 gp = 1/50th of a pound.

>>46681666
Gold bars are weighed and measured very, VERY thoroughly in our world. They'd notice.

In D&D where gold coinage exists and there are bars everywhere.. yeah I guess you might be able to. You'd already have to be moving bars in bulk though.
They weigh fairly significantly differently after all, you could only use a small proportion of lead.

[11:48 PM, Monday June 29th 2015]

Much like your mother on a Sunday morning, MacKay has the ability to drive his car as fast and reckless as he can without any risk of colliding into incoming vehicles or veering off the road. Not that those were any viable threats at the moment. As far as you can see, there’s no incoming traffic on the other lane, and the road’s completely devoid of sharp turns.

Thank the gods for small mercies. And for a priest that has driving skills straight out of ‘Grand Theft Auto’.

“I ain’t sure what’s chasin’ us, Sawbones,” Fitz growls as she slams a magazine into her gun and slides a round into the chamber. Standard bullets just to test the waters, apparently. “

Brady pales. “Please don’t tell me you want to let it get close for you to find out which of the two it is…”

“Pft. Yeah right. I’ll take my chances by shooting at them in the middle of the fucking night.”

She’s right. On this stretch of the highway, the only light sources were the high beams on the Cadillac, and the moon high above your heads. Well, those and the two beams of light coming behind you in the distance. A car.

Well shit. Human aggressors. And if that needle in the door was any indication, human aggressors with access to demons, and their magic.

Just great.

“So what’s the plan?” MacKay violently jerks the wheel to avoid what suspiciously looked like a bolt of lightning that comes racing from behind you. The hair on your arm stands up as your face goes into Fitz’s elbow, and her head goes into Brady’s ribs. “I’m all ears at this point, Adrian.”

As soon as your face stops hurting and you remove yourself from Fitz's elbow, you say: “First of all, warn us next time you do that. As for the plan itself…”

Also kinda late for a thread Kaz. Aren't you East Coast?

>"Well yeah," Lorelei says like it's the most obvious thing in the world. "They all know the risk before they get into it so they're all supposedly prepared for it. And since something like seventy percent of natural Overgrowth attempts fail, the odds are already pretty good to begin with."


There's no sense in letting Lorelei's carelessness get to me now. I mean, she's been like this since I first met her (and apparently has been that way for a LONG time prior to that) and it's not like she's about to change any time soon.

"Alright, I guess," I say seconds before shoving a bagel into my mouth.

with a smile of contentment on her face, Lorelei rests her elbows on the table as she watches me stuff my face.

"So was there anything else you wanted to ask me about?" she asks. "I'd forgotten how nice it could be to have an actual conversation that didn't involve business or attempts to get into my pa-" She flinches.
"Huh?" I immediately rise to my feet. "Lorelei, are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," she says, waving me off. "Someone just popped up in the center of my detection range, that's all."

Lorelei points off in the distance.

"There's one over there..."

She then shifts her finger just a few degrees.

"...another over there..."

And finally, she points right at me.

"...and besides you, there -were- two waaay further out in that direction but now there are three of them."

My budget G/W humans shitbrew. Despite only putting Sigarda in there because I like her, I think she's a pretty good finisher. Capitalizes on early-game removal and deadstuff to help Militia captain flip/get bigger, makes Thalia's Lieutenant bigger, helps flip abbey. Running budget; yes, I am aware that Tithes is way better than Sigarda, and so is AvaWhore.
Think I could steal a few wins at FNM with this?

Pretty big.

Make it a marriage of convenience, as most royal marriages were. Allow the Lady Queen to have those suitors she wishes, with the understanding that you are not enemies, and might even be amiable to one another.
