steveisbig got a reaction from HirumaShigure in What kind of player mats are these?
"Deluxe" is that "Hey, you don't have to leave your cards on the table, unorganized, like a savage".

steveisbig reacted to TauntaunScout in How do you deal with failure? We talk about our dealings with the F word and how to cope.
To waste money and make my life pointlessly more complicated. Isn't that the purpose of all grown-up hobbies?

steveisbig got a reaction from Weller1980 in Painting
Part of the appeal (for me) is that there are unpainted miniatures that I get the opportunity to paint. Though I can see hesitation or sadness from people that don't have miniature paints handy.

steveisbig reacted to TauntaunScout in Star Wars Inspiration Art
Disney has been handling the franchise just fine compared to Lucas’ recent work, in my book. No tears here.

steveisbig reacted to Thalandar in New Unit Ranks
I think wild animals like rancors and wampa should be a special battle field condition or terrain piece, like say a cave entrance. triggering it by come within say, range 1 of the cave entrance cause either a rancor or a squad of wampas to come out and mess you up. Once up they rampage across the board...mynach swarms, pog nets, nexu hunter, uncovering a sarlac pit, bantha stampede

steveisbig reacted to TallGiraffe in Replacement weapons for corp units
1. It is an additional weapon.
2. They would have to errata current corps for it to work.
Would rather see a personnel pack with new heavy options though. Or more trooper options.

steveisbig got a reaction from Bucknife in Clone wars topic.
I could see Jedi being the heavy weapons or personnel slot, maybe a new slot, in corps units. Perhaps as unit leader if included, and granting a single force power slot. I'm not sure if this would mess with their mobility, but they typically were assigned a unit of clones.
The named Jedi i could see being support, SF, etc though.

Too bad, I can just picture the Tauntaun in the front seat with its head hanging out and it’s tongue flapping in the wind.🤪🥴

Oh man. Legion just got real. 40k won't see a dime from me for a very long time. I have 9 boxes of minis to pre-order.

steveisbig reacted to TylerTT in ICV2 report: Keyforge is #4 Collectible Game
BGG ratings are total garbage.
Edit:
let me unpack that
bgg has a very narrow slice of the user base for table top games.
Games like munchkin sell well for a long time and get played by massive audiences. The latest hotness on BGG maybe has a shelf life of a few months.
Ratings are from self selecting groups. The deeper investment required to actually play a thing the higher percentage of it only ever being played by people who are pre disposed to like it.
There is a reason why expansions are not ranked on the same chart as games themselves. The people rating an expansion are likely already to enjoy the base game.
Games like gloomhaven are a base game and your first 5 expansions in a single box.
Popular games get played by lots lots of people. Meaning the ratings come from a wider audience and that more people who may not like the game suffer through playing it.

Because one of the most important lessons I'm trying to learn is that I can enjoy things without owning things.

steveisbig reacted to ToySoldierFan in Anyone going to Celebration? (Exclusive Sculpt)
I hope a moderator will allow my comments. I mean them as honestly as I feel them. My feelings aren't everyone's, they are just mine.
If FFG has told me at the start that some sculpts would be unavailable if I didn't travel to Chicago or attend a conference, I may not have started into Legion at all. It's may sound extreme, but it's just knowing myself and knowing how a company might paywall something, and how frustrated I could feel at that. It's why I don't play MtG.
It's frustrating to be left out on something that is the base value of the game; a miniature. It doesn't end my day, but, y'know,...I'm tired of being frustrated. It adds up. Star Wars as a movie product as become exclusive to a single point of view; and it feels exclusive.
I dunno. I'm considering if I want to feel this again with FFG.

steveisbig reacted to FSD in anyone who preorder through ffg get any bad news about krennic yet
The tank (& speeder) were already set for Q2 release so this looks like nothing more than a delay for Krennic & Troopers (which honestly could be nothing more than a few weeks delay since March ends Q1 and speculation was 3/21 release date).

steveisbig reacted to KrisWall in What happened to SWL30?
Well...
SWL28 is Premium Trooper Bases. SWL29 is Premium Large Bases. SWL30 is most likely Premium "Extra Large" Bases. We know that size exists from the Occupier. It would make total sense to design and assign a product number along with the other bases, but then not announce or release the product until later when the bases are in the wild. I'd expect an announcement and release after the Occupier comes out.

steveisbig reacted to FSD in Look forward to more options for upcoming minis. Sabine and Bossk are just the beginning.
Love this as I really do not like Kanan's "Blind Master" look. Being able to (hopefully/eventually) have him on the board with his S1 & S2 look without having to find a good replacement head works for me!!

Personally I like the fact that the speeder is based on an iconic star wars vehicle.

steveisbig reacted to NeonWolf in New vehicles!
Not sure how I feel about the TX-225 being 155 points base and the T-47 being 175. I'm wondering if the TX-225 isn't the T-47's natural prey and why it has seemed less than good until now?
