Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion

That 100% resolves my issue with the name. :up: <- Not a vote that counts for anything. :)

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion

Beowulf is very much a mythological story. It also includes dragons and monsters and such. So given that Beowulf and related poems seem to be our primary source of information on the Wulfings, I...

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion

My other concerns are more subjective. But this attitude that you can correct one mistake at a time to get the unit just barely over the hump is deeply discouraging.

For now, I don't have anything...

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion

I know they are from human history. I did look that up. As NB said, take a name inspired by that. Or, as you say yourself, take a name that is just a translation from something in some other...

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion

I just want to be clear that it’s my understanding that the Wulfings were *real.* This is not from mythology. It’s real.

Changing “Amazon” to “Ashra” is precisely the type of thing that should...

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion

Then change the name. The minis certainly *could* be fantasy. So make them fantasy, and stop forcing them to have a foot in both worlds.

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion

Ok. I find that mildly troubling. It’s an opportunity missed, when we could have had an actual historical unit. Instead we have one with a foot in both worlds, from a fantasy planet. That doesn’t...

Re: Soldiers of Valhalla - nominations and discussion

Why are these historical humans wearing masks given the race of “Wulfing”?

Re: OEAO's Power Rankings

In traditional double-blind formats, Deadeye Dan deserves his D. He can be a situationally valuable piece of the puzzle in draft formats, though. Either as a low cost, high variance counterdraft, or...

Lol, thanks!

I swear CoVCon is fine if you just say it out loud and don’t read it... which is what I was doing when I came up with it...[/QUOTE]
That depends on how you pronounce it, kid. ;)

Of course it is. It was a stupid name. This is much better.

Re: Online Diplomacy Game for Heroscapers

I happened to stumble across this thread from about 10 years ago, and it made me smile, considering that it finally happened. I'd forgotten that I had signed up for this. I miss tom ; I wonder what...

Re: Letters From the Front

Thanks for sharing!

Is Tales from the Loop the one that's kind of like Stranger Things? I heard it live played on a podcast I listen to. I enjoyed it, and it definitely had a different feel from...

I know this was a very difficult decision, guys, and I thank you for steering this ship faithfully for all the years you've been at the wheel.

For what it's worth, my opinion from the cheap seats...

Scytale is an excellent designer. It's always a good idea to consider his advice carefully.

Re: The Pre-SoV Workshop

I'll preface this by saying, as I've said all along, that I like the mini and I like the theme. Or, at least, what I imagine the theme to be. I also firmly applaud the decision to keep working on a...

Re: Announcing CoVCon!

This format would address my concerns about COVID, I think. A few buddies spread at normal distances in a room is one thing; the Dealer Hall is a whole other petri dish. I'll discuss among my people.

Re: Gen Con 2021 Roll Call

So many things to think about! One factor would be my confidence in my own vaccine protection. If I feel like I'm 85% protected against a variant and maybe 10% of my fellow gamers are not vaccinated,...
