Work Lunch Crew: The old lady, the little girl, MacGyver, and the orcish priest of merchants. (Estra, Yoon, Mavaro, Drelm). Having looked through the characters last night for the first time, this is the exact shortlist for who I thought I might play. Although I suppose I should give some consideration to the other four players are picking...
I'm afraid you've stumbled into the ACG forum. I've flagged your post for movement, but why not have a look around while you're here? It's a mighty fine game...
By my calculations a half-hafling would actually be a three-quartersling.It cannot work that way, because then every time two halflings multiplied they would have a quarterling. And generation-by-generation the species would tend to zero
She's delightful in single-player. Evade anything you don't fancy dealing with (where allowed, which it largely is), and odds are it ends up in another deck, meaning you can reduce locations - or one at least - into boons plus villain / henchman. Hurrah.
Pegged it as awesome on my first scan through the cards when I opened the box. To the extent that I nearly posted a thread similar to this.
Really hoping for the phrase "Mavaro will also be a playable character in the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Mummy's Mask set..." to just pop up at the end of the first paragraph there
I also note it has the 'temptation' trait, so could maybe be not alone in that. Fits with fiends, right?
You only say that from the comfort of your computer. Wait until you have it face up next to a location and you encounter a boon you really, really want or a bane that is going to be a huge punishment if you don't defeat it, or the final showdown with the villain, then you might use it. Or better yet, imagine your friend encounters a boon you really want. You just might be encouraging him to use that Temptation of Big Die. "After all," you'll tell him, "that particular d20 has been rolling low all night." Guarantee I roll double-10 rather than a 20 and a 1 though
In the UK, it's very nearly Tuesday already...
(Caveat: this is largely just thinking out loud, since my group haven't started S&S yet, and even when we do, we play with four/five people...) I've always been really impressed with the blessings deck-location number mechanics in PACG as maintaining a fair difficulty level no matter the size of the party, to the extent that it's always really upset me when the occasional person has missed the point and come up with the false 'shouldn't a larger party have a larger blessing deck?' observation. However, it feels to me that structural damage must really surely favour a larger party, and I was therefore wondering if something else had been introduced in S&S to balance that effect. I have already noticed that infinitely more locations close with methods other than skill checks, which I think will certainly make things easier for smaller parties, but which I assume will also make them easier for larger parties, hence it's not the kind of 'balancing' that I was looking for. Thoughts?
Trying to convert concepts like 'overnight' and 'first thing tomorrow morning' from PDT to BST is not something I should be doing when I first wake up. No sign of an authorization yet, but took me a little while to remember it's basically not even bedtime there...
You'll need to apply a dose of common sense.. this is such a good rule. I feel people can be incredibly obtuse sometimes
My buddy insists - for city-based scenarios at least - in trying to put the locations in order from the centre of the city outwards. This has genuinely led to (brief) debates about where one puts a guard tower in relation to a city gate. We are slightly tragic.
Never encountered an internet forum user in his league. If the guy doesn't have some kind of research-based job, it's a great loss. Legend.
Oops, yes I do. And with that correction, then I also mean "Please let him or her (as appropriate) write ALL THE BLOG POSTS from now on."I'm about halfway through this blog post, and I feel the need to say that I'm really enjoying Gary's writing style. Please let him write ALL THE BLOG POSTS from now on. :)Do you mean "Gaby" post-correction, can I second this. I actually laughed out loud at that blog post this morning, despite the fact that it was 7:00 AM and I would normally be cursing having to get ready for work... |
