@Oyaji there is another Reaper Bones KS running in case you were not aware... $1 get-in price... core set is $120 but has like 120 minis in it already... plenty of add-ons The $1 will get you access to purchase core or any add-one without having to buy the core if you are interested... just an FYI since I recalled you mentioning in the past....

Not that it matters but assume that is Shonn Greene, that fat RB that ran for a billion yards back in the early 2000s for Iowa

In case any of you are Fiasco RPG fans, KS has a card version. The traditional RPG can be a great time for gaming groups -

Picked up Star Wars Outer Rim recently, as I was looking for a light game set in the SW universe to play with my 13 year old and my wife... haven’t played yet but looks decent enough. Finally got my hands on the Edge of Extinction expansion for Exodus: Proxima Centauri and so glad I did. Adds asymmetry and improves the game ten-fold. A few Kickstarters have arrived but have not tried them... looking forward to drunken games of Throw, Throw Burrito though lol

CoC really is one of the best RPGs ever made. The SAN (sanity attribute) deterioration and death rates can make for some incredibly good games, win or lose. I also have Delta Green in PDF, which is great too...

Yeah that is what I have been doing for weeks now... with shows basically every day (my Universe is Raw, Smackdown, NXT, AEW, ROH/Impact, NJPW on Mon-Sat with PPV Sun) just spend a ton of time modifying every single show from default...

That doesn’t sound correct, in general. Perhaps recommend that he refers to some WOTC-created content for assistance with details, such as names that seem more acceptable, cohesive story design and stakes that get the players invested and add real risk? he can apply lessons from their content to his own creations to deliver a more engaging campaign for you players.

Ok there is definitely something I am not doing right - in universe mode if I let the CPU auto-book shows I end up with things such as a PPV opening match being a Brock vs. Reigns singles rivalry match while the main event will be something like Peyton Royce vs. Dana Brooke, in a non-rivalry match. Anyone have any advice on how to set universe mode so the CPU will book show lineups that make sense from opener featuring lower card talents through mid card matches through main events featuring main eventers? Thanks in advance for any advice/assistance!

For the Gloomhaven players, the Forgotten Circles expansion is reduced from $40 to $33 today on Amazon...

Feel like I am with the consensus. Riddle/Strong was excellent. Matt has that RVD stoner charisma and can go. Roddy was great here. The ladder match was ok to me, but Ford is awesome. Expected Lorcan to be a bump machine in this match personally. And still after this much time HATE typing Oney or Lorcan. Just the worst name. Dream is the man but the result felt like a foregone conclusion. Breeze at least got to show he can go a bit. Liked Bayzler vs Io even with the obvious transition off the magistral setting up the finish. Agree Bayzler should have been called up eons ago - figure the only reason she is still in NXT is that Shafir and Duke are too green to go up with her? The main was typical overbooked main. Totally expected that and got it of course. I like Cole but the Panama Sunrise is lame, convoluted and then , when ultimately not the finish, just sigh-inducing. As someone else said, no idea where you go with Gargano from here. After the presumed rubber match, maybe fake an injury until Ciampa can return for DIY on main roster (or Main Event since tag teams go nowhere)?

Section 16 row T for us... ... presuming we survive the craps tables to make it to the show. ?

@jaedmc heading out for Vegas and Double or Nothing weekend but will sign up for one of the sessions when I return next week. Looking forward to it.

FYI for anyone looking to get Gloomhaven, Amazon has it for $93 today - still expensive but cheapest ever for a new copy on Amazon

Actually played LotFP once - basically grimdark, Chthulu adjacent campaign, with a bit of silliness and much TPK. Was quite fun as a one off...

Agree it is a solid mechanism for that, assuming you self-manage expectations around delivery (assume whatever projected delivery date the KS lists is probably 9 months earlier than the reality and you will be fine). I do find myself frustrated when the item is available for purchase mass market prior to delivery of the item to backers and when the item invariably ends up bring priced less than the KS. I am fine when the item is priced less than the KS claimed would be MSRP, but dang it frustrates me when it is available in retail for cheaper than my backer commitment (ignoring KS exclusives). And apologies for hijacking the thread into a KS backer thread ...

Have thus far backed more than 65 projects - IMO Kickstarter is generally pretty safe for tabletop games, items, etc. My results have been MUCH more mixed when backing video/online games and electronics (usually smart devices) - backing from known entities has been successful; backing from startups has been a bust almost every time, either due to failure to deliver or the item being delivered and then company subsequently failing.

I've had it saved as I go back and forth on backing or not. Pretty sure I am going to pull the trigger...

Excellent... have not used TTS for D&D before but know people who did... it seems, esp. for the DM, that dual monitors is an absolute lifesaver

Welp that didn’t take long... ?

Hope it goes well man. Definitely update us afterwards...

You should be able to solve the mic thing VERY inexpensively... definitely don’t go with built-in though IMO

@jaedmc all things considered that actually sounds like a decent enough intro to Roll20 Groups. Nowhere near some of the horror stories I encountered back when I was more active there... Seems like a decent amount of us are into tabletops and RPGs... would it be weird if we eventually tried to get a R20 or TS group thing going? Anyone tried before?

Let us know how it goes jae... @Pete Superfight can be glorious after enough cocktails... we have the locations and scenarios add-ons as well as numerous expansions. It’s also hilarious to hear a table full of 12 year olds play...

Got all 3 for $59 + $25 Shipping ... honestly was concerned it was a scam because it seemed way too good to be true and was an eBay purchase... but they arrived today. All three unopened. I have heard of Arkham Horror but not whether it is good or not. Glad to hear it is. Hadn’t really ever heard of Last Night on Earth. Must admit I really am excited about Exodus - love the idea of a gigantic space opera style game that apparently plays in less than 3 hours!

Been wanting an epic space opera style tabletop... like everyone else, strongly considered Twilight Imperium but concerned that game length would keep it from seeing the table regularly... found an almost too good to be true deal on eBay, and got Exodus: Proxima Centauri + Arkham Horror + Last Night on Earth, all NIB condition, for $80 total so I grabbed them. Questions: 1. Anyone played Exodus? How is it? 2. Hearing the expansions greatly improve the game? Anyone able to provide insight? 3. Are the other two games any good? Thinking I might just re-sell them to re-coup most or all of my expense...
