edonil Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Sadly not really one to run online... Bring it along to Gencon 2015, though. *wink* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 No not really one for online...... guessing there is not an online jenga puller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Wouldn't be the same anyway. ---------- Post added at 03:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:19 AM ---------- Anyway, that definitely looks like it'd be fun.

Brewmaster Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 If you guys don't mind me throwing my two cents into the conversation, I think there's a non-retail Inception game floating around that uses a jenga mechanic as well. Tower collapses = dream collapses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Ha, not a problem, Brew. Welcome to the OTT! Been a while since someone new wandered in here, lol. Oh, that sounds like it's pretty interesting, would be a great way to do things mechanically! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brewmaster Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 It kinda WAS. There are also classes (The person building the dream builds the Jenga tower, the 'face' of the group may pull a jenga piece in the place of another person)... I'll dig around. It's a great one-shot for an improv savvy group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 If you can find it, let me know, that sounds awesome. Plus, y'know- Inception. Always a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 @Edonil: I'm not a big Batman/comic fan, but I really enjoyed it (and the models are great). So it was more of a demo game (Batman vs Joker and a few ******), so I haven't had a chance to learn the rules properly. Activation is a little like Bolt Action, except it's one dice per turn (two per side in my game of four turns, despite it being four against one), and while you might have one against many, you can choose when you activate. The core mechanic is you get a number of dice equal to willpower, which at the start of the turn you allocate to stats. So atman has a Wp of 8, so I would place them on either movement, attack, defence or special, then when I activate I can spend them. I was able to batclaw my way to the top of a building, before swooping down and knocking a ***** out. Overall the mechanics are really nice, and compact (e.g. Batman's Defence is 5, which is both what the opponent must roll to hit, and how many dice he can allocate to it, whereas the opponents attack is both their limit and what I would have to beat if I roll my defence dice, even if they rolled a 6). Rules are a free download, as are stat cards. I might pick up Bane :-) Found out most of my club's DZC players play UCM, with only one PHR, so I might pick up PHR. That way we can play larger, co-op games. But I'll wait to see if the game grabs me first. Edit: I forgot that word was taboo ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Huh, sounds pretty interesting. Might have to see if there's youtube videos explaining it, I remember looking over the rules when it first came out and being confused as heck. Too bad the minis are so expensive to get over here, I'd never be able to get anyone else into it. Oh well, lol. PHR! Love that faction. The mechs are awesome, and luckily their new releases are helping with how slow they are, especially the Jetskimmers and the always entertaining Apollos. I got my beta-paint scheme for them done, should probably find the camera and take a picture at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Yeah, when I first looked at Drop zone, I thought "so I guess everyone plays PHR then", coz damn they are pretty :-P Anyway, I better get ready for work. Get paid tomorrow, yay! :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 30, 2014 Report Share Posted January 30, 2014 Yeah, I've noticed that PHR and Scourge seem to be the less popular ones around here for some reason. Have fun at work, try not to kill anyone. (waves) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brewmaster Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Thanks ... I've been wanting to write this story after reading the fluff in the Ophelia section in the 2E book, and I certainly tried to do it justice. How are things up in Toronto?

Mister Shine Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Im a bad Canadian, I don't defend Hockey or Tim Horton's or Beavers. Maple Syrup is pretty good though, not sure who'd want to attack that though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
