Games hosted/played so far.
Lisboa in 6 hours. Or a little later if requested.
Will attempt to host Kremlin again in 1-2 hoursA brief description of the gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zhc0w3fTzk

Anyone want to play Vast?
Why he hates everything?
>>1021462/vm/rage
>>1021566you would hate everything too if you were cursed with being polish
>>1021563no
>>1021563I wanna say I would want to, but I'll probably be busy for the rest of the day, or at least until the evening (about 10-12 hours from now). Always wanted to do more Vast after running the Haunted Mansion, but I just never got around to it.
Fourth attempt at hosting Kremlin/vm/rage
>>1021583cool, at least we will have more than one player.If anyone is interestedGoblins are the trickiest to play effectively. The Knight is important and medium difficult.The Thief can be a bit dull, especially with five players but easy. Dragon and Cave are somewhat easier to handle.
>>1021588Perhaps this calls for a /v/eekend thread to gather more people
Went to a board game meetup today, Thunder Road was pretty cool, unfortunately seemed the owner didn't really know how to play it and was getting kinda annoyed at me for rule-correcting him in front of his son so I just went along with it lol. I'll have to host that one and see how it really is, probably not as fun as HEAT or Thunder Alley but even when played wrong I had fun.Burgle Bros. was pretty cool too, not too into co-ops honestly but that small box seems like it has a good amount good stuff in it.
>>1022049>Thunder Roadyou mean Apocalypse Road, the sequel to Thunder Alley?
>>1022160No I mean Thunder Road, the Vendetta edition particularly.
Hosting hansa teutonica (not the scripted one) in 20 minutessorry for the much shorter notice than usual but the things I had to do were cancelled last minute
>>1022270Can't join this time, but have tons of fun, did you buy the game physically already?
>>1022049>I'll have to host that one and see how it really isProbably way better in person when you can actually do car and explosion noises and roleplay the shit out of it in general
>>1022272Paid for it, don't have it yet as they have it in storage elsewhere but it'll be mine in a couple days
>>1022270Room is up
>>1022288forgot:/v/rage
>>1022270>>1022291Eh nevermind, nobody came, ill try again on... tuesday maybe? not sure, i'll make sure to post an advance notice
>>1022310Shame on you anons, you're missing some good shit. Maybe a /v/eekend thread could get some traffic going
>>1022313I need more images of Gondola playing /vm/ games.
>>1022313Realistically, how much would that even help? Pretty sure the last TTS /v/eekend thread was just me joining a lonely host for two rounds of Clank!
>>1022391Here's an appropriate one.>>1022411More than you might think, even if people don't join, they get interested and eventually do join. When I started making these on /vm/ I barely got 1 or 2 people to play with same thing with Worms, a couple months later and you could post anytime and get a full room. It's all about timing, frequency and being welcoming to be honest.I'm still mad about those Clank games. Dragon just fucking hates me regardless if I'm playing on TTS or irl, got killed in like 4 turns when I played with my group Friday.
>>1022310I kinda lost interest in TTS lately.
>>1022426It's okay, maybe next time we can have a fair rematch without beginner's luck messing with the results
>>1022428Why? Genuinely curious
testing some extra rules for cardboard lobotomy corp/vm/corprage
>>1022431Pretty long sessions, having to learn the rules for a variety of games in a short time, and more importantly playing other videogames such as Graveyard Keeper (it's grindy, I stopped playing it). I have only been occasionally called for Spirit Island lately.
>>1022454Yep, that's the boardgaming experience. I find learning about the game to be exciting, as it can be fresh and titillating and the slow pace of play can be quite relaxing. Though that's the best case scenario. When it's bad, boardgaming can be painful.In case you want to come around, find a game that interests you and host it or beg for it to be hosted, i might do it
I want to host more, but i feel like i explain badly and is hard for me to get the grip of games.I have been trying to learn vast and play with anons, but i'm not secure.
>>1022454>>1022472I prefer playing a game I know a few times over a new game every time. Lets you get to grips with strategy, makes the game faster, and having to explain a game with pointing arrows and text sucks dick.BTW im still down for hansa, throw down a time
>>1022547Not sure if i can host tomorrow, I'll try to post with a decent time in advance if I'm able to
>>1022437thanks for joining and the suggestions, sorry for leaving abruptly.we can tell all these panicking employees it was only a practice round.we'll get a full game going sometime soon
>>1022437>>1022564It's really good but I have some feedback:1. It needs ready tokens if the phases are done simultaneously.2. It really needs a starting preset abnormality, preferably with a setting for toggling between having a basic starter (with a random abnormality or two) and just rolling the dice. Lobotomy Corporation had One Sin And Hundreds Of Good Deeds which is a really basic ZAYIN that didn't breach and gave you a white damage weapon, otherwise you're really dependent on RNG not giving the drafted abnormalities effects that screw you up, as I can attest upon having an employee immediately panic because he did not have a certain affinity. Alternatively abnormalities on the first day could be drafted from a special day-1 deck that is meant to be easier to handle (mirroring Lobotomy Corporation, which has higher chances to roll lower-level abnormalities early on).3. The damage list could be compressed. Instead of having extra blank columns and extra columns that have the same extra damage symbols you could simply add a "<" and a ">" respectively.
>>1022472I could start hosting games that I like in particular but I don't have a fixed schedule to attract players reliably.
Any simple games for dumb retards like me?

>>1023334>Whines about no games>Doesn't join when somebody hosts games
Just watched the episode of pic related.IS anyone interested, sound fun.
>>1023479I don't get it, is this like Civ or is it some sort of raid boss?
>>1023489You try to run away from the island, because it is drowning like Atlantis in the middle, while playing some cards where you throw sharks at the others or ride a dolphin to the continent.
>>1023493Huh, neat
>>1023479I've played it several times irl. It's a fine filler with some amount of "take that" fuckery.
>>1023470I went to bed
Planning to host hansa teutonica in 5 hours (16:00 CET)anyone up for it?
>>1023700How hard is it to pick up and what's the average playtime? I might be around for a round or two
>>1023709The rules and mechanics are easy to learn, but it involves alot of player interaction as theres alot of blocking, displacing and sometimes even swapping things around so you'll need to come up with a strat or you'll be left in the dust. Game lasted about 1h20 with 3 playersAnyway just check this tutorial out to get an ideahttps://youtu.be/khluadSO_Ic?feature=shared
>>1023725Reminds me of Yokohama somewhat, I like messing with other players but I'm not that good with long-term strategies. Still, I'll try to join if there's enough interest to warrant a host
>>1023709Rush actions and the neighboring cities, nothing else matters.
>host in an hour>have offline boardgame meeting in 3 hoursdepending on how strong /vm/s autism is I might be able to make it>>1023765>put disc merchant in your pathwhat now nerd

>>1023772Just join.
>>1023700If you're hurting for a player I can drop by 16:30 CET or 16:45 CET
>>1023700Room's upi dont remember the name i hosted in a rush i think it was /v/ or /vm/password rage
>>1023772Join, dont be a pussy
>>1023786you can look up your room name if you just click on menu.its /v/
>>1023786Come on, 2/5At least one more guy, this is nicely playable as 3p
>>1023786>>1023789Or in the server info in the top toolbar, also letting change other important details.
>>1023796Sorry I couldn't join, had some work stuff come up
>>1023914It was full, I wanted to join but it was at 5/5 when I checked.
>>1023940This is where the thread has been failing lately, people only post when nobody shows up and the full lobby hosts just go under the radar.
>>1023940Uh... right, we were 3p and 2 spectators. But oh well, at that point we were about half an hour inwell, my bad
>>1023990This is why you always just set the room size to 10.
>>1023991This. Not like it's gonna fill up anyways, and besides, that's what the "Looking for players" icons is for.
>>1023990who won?
>>1023991I kept it at 10p once and then the people bullied me for not setting it to max player countbetter would be to just post in the thread the room has started playing
>>1023991There are some mods that break because their script is tied to player count (looking at you IaWW)
>>1024077>people bullied me for not setting it to max player countWhoever did that is a retard
>>1023991I used to just leave it at 10 but then people would cry and tell me to lower it to the actual number of people playinganons are never happy>>1024075I dont remember his color and i see posters never spell out names, but I was only 5 points behind him, i think he was at 45 and I was at 40, the third was a fair bit behind because i supposedly bullied him
>>1024096It was pic related?
>>1024097The one who cried or the one who won?For the former, i dont remember, but it's possible it was him~As for the one who won at hansa today, it was red, just checked the autosave
>>1024079Scripted mods break because you looked at them funny.
>>1024097>>1024108green didnt play.
>>1024097
>>1024097Is green a cursed color? what am I missing?
>>1024097this is even more confusing considering there is a player literally named green
>>1024193>>1024221I think that was the point of the post easy to miss since nobody says names here
>>1024163Yeah green didnt play yesterday but I said "i used to", it's an unspecified time in the past. Im not sure it was him who complained about leaving 10 slots but who else would cry about it?
Today im not feeling like hosting but if anyone else does I might join (not sure, i have stuff in the evening)
Got my copy of M&M on the mail today, anybody wanna play?Shorter game option is probably Teotihuacan or Puerto Rico.
>>1024565depends on the time. When?of these games teotihuacan is the only one I don't know but i'm open to any of them
>>1024567>When?Right now lol

And the game is over 153 vs 167, with the newbie bursting through with points at the very end!Not only that, but we finished the pyramid as well!Excellent game lad, hope you enjoyed it, I have to do some things and if I have some time I could host a very short game after, give me a (You) if interested.
>>1024597And we finished the pyramid on the literal last turn
>>1024644>>1024645beat me to the punch
>>1024646And you beat me to the game >:|Let's play again sometime, and Puerto Rico too. Also Teotihuacan has variable setup that changes technology tiles, action space placement, etc. So there's a lot that's gonna deviate our strategies for next time.
>>1024575Reopened, let's see what we can play in little time, probably Spots?
>>1024678Closing, not sure I could wait any longer. See y'all next time.

>>1026608>all those deleted workshops goneWhat have you done anon!
It's beautiful. Took barely 2 hours too un a 3p game with people unfamiliar with the game.
>>1026608Exactly why I turned mod cache off.I just hope I don't return to a game I want and it's gone because of the imgur purge and the dev didn't bother updating it
>>1026608It's because workshop modders just use PNGs at max quality. You can either compress them yourself or convert them to JPGs of a lower quality.https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2836156674
>>1026792https://pngquant.org/#manual
>>1026795PNGquant isn't good for TTS images because it uses quantization (it needs solid flat tones). Any image with art on it will have their colors ruined. If you're compressing something simple like UNO then yeah it's good.
Host something please, I'll pay in love
>>1027097Why don't you host something yourself?
>>1027107I would but my PC has been volatile lately
>>1027107I'm lazy and I'd only host goyslop games like Ares
>>1027118Host Monopoly.
>>1027122I don't know how to play Monopoly
I can host something in about half an hour, just let me finish organize my boardgames as I just got a bunch of plastic bagsOpen to ideas. Suggest something, im not putting up a list this time
>>1027130>Open to ideasPrint some stickers and paste them inside each plastic bag so you don't get them mixed up when storing the components back in.
>>1027130i'm up for a game but i'm also a fucking pleb
>>1027131Yeah i was thinking of doing that but cannot be arsed to do it atm, im just separating components for nowBut that's not what I meant by open to ideas, i meant ideas about what to host (yeah i know you're probably taking the piss but still)
>>1027145Room's up, /vm/, ragestill thinking about what to put up but maybe el grande or barrage...?
>>1027160We playing lost ruins of arnak3/4come guys
>>1027160We ended with a very close game. Well, except for blue
>>1027316ggwp, pretty fun game but I feel like a lot of it depends on research and guardians.
>>1027319Yeah, looking at the point distribution, you get the bulk of the vp by exploring, defeating guardians and research.Essentially, you use your resources for research, but you don't want to be spending too much, too early because you want to be ready and have the means to defeat guardians in the same round as you discover them.There's a lot (a lot) of counting tokens to meet the requirements for just enough, in order to avoid excess so you're efficient, which is.. not entirely my cup of tea.It is quite fun though, lots of interesting and cool cards and popping open a new location to discover what it hides can be exciting. Would play again, with unique leaders.
>Root>Player that buys from me ends up winning the game>Players that don't buy from me end up losing (this upsets them)Woah. If...If only they... bought from the Riverfolk company too?
>>1027562If both of them had bought you'd have won. He was cursed to lose the moment turn order was assigned.
>>1027562
>>1027591In an Eyrie vs Moles game? Let's be real, Riverfolk ain't winning that shit if both of those faggot factions want you to lose.

>Corvids>Sit in my corner of the map, putting down plots and staying 3rd or 4th in the VP race.>Someone shows up and ruins my day.>Fucking destroy them and make them lose the game because of it.Feels good to have kingmaking as a viable defense mechanism in this game.
I know it's far removed from the time I usually host and there's basically no advance notice, but would there be any interest if I host in 25 minutes (22:15 CET)? As for the game i dunno, one between:HansaTFM AresClankSmall samurai empires

Anyone planning on hosting a game later today?
>>1032504YesYou
>>1032507Alright, I'll host Viticulture or maybe Architects of the West Kingdom or something in ~2 and a half hours (15:00 UTC)
>>1032516If you play Viticulture, play it with the Tuscany expansion, it's a must.
>>1032530nooo, i just want to spam visitors and cheap points so i win without delivering wine
>>1032531lmao, exactly.Also the Rhine Valley visitor deck replaces those cheap ass visitors with ones that actually want to make wine.
>>1032530Got a Viticulture mod saved to share? I see they made DLC for viticulture and I don't think I can find a decent mod on the workshop now.
>>1032545Oh right, forgot Stonemaier C&D'd workshops in TTS.I do have an Essential Edition save but it's in Spanish. I was translating it but due to lack of time I haven't done much to it, if you want I can hop on, load up what I have progressed, you join and you save that and try to make do, I have 30 minutes before I have to leave for work.
>>1032548Uhh, sure, let's see what you got
>>1032552it's open
>>1032552Hope it helps, with what I have you can at least play the basic Essential Edition fully in english (btw the Essential Edition mixes Rhine Valley and other expansions in the main deck, apparently selected by Uwe Rosenberg lol).I suggest giving it a try despite the degenerate no-wine strat you can pull off in the base game, it's not a bad game at all.
The room is open! I wanted to try Viticulture but unfortunately it'll require a Spanish speaker or at least someone familiar with the game so instead..Let's play Architects of the West Kingdom. Be the most vile cutthroat to steal building materials and capture worker's from other players then pay 20 rocks for indulgences and become a saint.Room: /vm/ architects of the westPass: rage

Does this game have a way to dilute your wine with chemicals to recreate the Austrian Wine Poisoning?
>>10326213/6, starting at 16:15 UTC.>>1032623Unfortunately not.
>>1032533It's funny. Everyone was playing it the way you meant to (make wine for score) and one time I played with another group and a guy just spammed the cheap points spots. Count on stegmaier to make unbalanced garbage
>>1032613Is the official DLC the Essential Edition? That one should incorporate Rhine and Moore cards by default.>>1032668One time I went full wine maker and thanks to some good papa/mama cards thst gave me orders and vines + visitors that let me break some rules I was doing wine orders basically every year. Speedran the game before anybody could use their VP visitors.Tuscany really makes it a much better game, there are 4 different seasons with a better distribution of actions, an area majority minigame, special workers, structures. You still can win with making little wine but the options are much more open and a lot of them are focused on getting wine instead of drawing as many visitors as you can.
>>1032689The Stonemaeir site doesn't seem to indicate that the essential edition includes Rhine, and the spreadsheet they link seems like the essential edition cards are different from the Rhine cards. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mCRAuf99t6tuiPRWHbaffc07waRcMcDtx7FVwrSqcbw/edit#gid=0 The DLC isn't the essential edition, but has the option of playing with Moore visitors.
GG to those who joined for wine-making and for putting up with poor game explanations.
>>1032765Thanks for hosting!
>>1032689>>One time I went full wine maker and thanks to some good papa/mama cards thst gave me orders and vines + visitors that let me break some rules I was doing wine orders basically every year. Speedran the game before anybody could use their VP visitors.Sure. Winemaking is competitive with visitor/windmill/tastingroom/etc scoring. But since its a worker placement game the minority strategy is favored. I (and the old group) thought it was a game of making wine and fullfilling orders, so if 3 people are clogging up the harvesting/winemaking/making deliveries spots the 4th player can easily win since the others are slowing eachother down while he is uncontested
>>1032765Nah the explanations were fine, the game was relatively simple too, i just played poorly with my fields
>>1032742Might have them confused but I recall seeing the exact same card art in Rhine/Moore with my Essential Edition, maybe the art is reused but the ability changed.>>1032771Definitely. Like most games, part of the strategy is not only being efficient, but cockblocking others while you're at it. The base map was awful at balancing though, you can get so many visitors and ez points with basically no restrictions.I promise to finish the translation of Tuscany when I have some time free.
anyone up for a game in 10 minutes? one (you) and i open a room.
>>1033129Depends on the game, what are the options?

>>1033966Anyone is interested to play pic realted? someone recommended for me when i asked for root option.
>>1033970>hexesAlready better than r**t
>>1033874Hex version is not very good. It keeps the original game's mechanics which are not well designed at all. Legends of Sinnoh seems to be quite interesting, a full-on campaign, worth trying out eventually.If anybody is up I can host, I got Monday and Tuesday free so I can finally rest some more and play/host some fucking video games, TTS included.

>>1041936Our champion, so regal, so pantyless.
>>1042161AND THE RUNNER UP IS THIS CLOSE TO BEATING THE CHAMPHE EVEN BEAT THE OVERLEVELED BEEDRILL
>>1042177AND THE CHAMPION IS DETHRONEDGGS and thanks for playing, took us only 4 hours and 30 minutes.
Here are the final teams and points, I wish we had had enough time to do the full Pokémon League, but runner-up challenger match was tense and fun enough.Main issue was time, while the manual battle arenas did help, there is a lot going on and just a single scripted arena is not enough, also downtime difference can be quite big, I mean, some of us had to play 2 turns in a row because we were having a full on Pokémon Battle 6v6. All in all, very fun game for how simple it is, really feels like a Pokémon campaign.
>>1042184>took us only 4 hours and 30 minutes.im happy I didnt join. wouldve ruined my life and sleep schedule
>>1042320Well yeah but you could have caught a Vaporeon. Think about that.Now who wants to play Western Legends?
>>1042418I'll be available in 40 minutes or so; had an idea to make the legendary points not suck ass and not be (entirely) luck driven.
>>1042429And what would that be? Cant make it there in 40, i have work for 2 more hours
>>1042433Aw, never mind then.Regarding the LP, well.. it's difficult to explain, just think of Tower of Hanoi
>>1042429I would just remove the 0LP and and 4LP tokens from the bag
>>1042442That's simple and would definitely work.But it's boring. In a game where players get 3 L-tokens (usually everyone should be able to get all 3) they are gonna average 6 LP and it makes the tokens very underwhelming.The idea I had would reward players who finish their goals before others and replace pure luck with some manageable luck so there's a bit of gambling involved.
>>1042450The last expansion actually do that allowing you to get more than 3 Legendary Tokens with the Gambler Track. If you keep on gambling for the tokens you can eventually just pick and choose which to keep and minimize the bad pulls you might get.I would like to hear what idea you have more in detail.
>>1042461Huh. Is that only viable for a gambling build or can other archetypes get it without gambling 20 rounds in a row?Anyways, next time we play WL I can show you my idea, no point talking about it like this.
>>1042470Anybody can do it. The gambling track is neutral and you can get a lot of GP from winning even out of your turn.>no point talking about it like thisI don't see why board game discussion on the board game thread is pointless but that's fine.So no Western Legends today, right?
>>1042481>the board game threadThat's /tg/, this is Tabletop Simulator thread. This doesn't apply to this discussion, but I'm tired of anons talking about random board games that aren't related to what's being hosted, fuck off to /tg/
>>1042481>I don't see why board game discussion on the board game thread is pointless but that's fine.You misunderstand, it's pointless 'cause it's redundant since it only matters if we play the game and if we're not playing then why bother, plus it would sooo much faster and easier to demonstrate ingame. Also, I kinda wanna keep it as a surprise
>>1042485>spoilerHeh, I had a feeling it was something like that. Looking forward to it then.
>>1042483If we went by that logic almost all posts should be lobby names and posterior ggs and nothing else. Of course people will talk about games here, they might or might not be hosted but that's exactly the point of talking about them, it's gathering interest. No need to be autistic about it. /tg/'s board game thread is just shitposting anyways.

>>1042831You can teach all the mechanics of Root in about 10 minutes, most of the game is learning to counter factions and you can only do that playing the game really.

We need YOUR help to wipe out all factions on the Wacky Wormholes, get the Flagship and a couple of danger dreds, and conquer Mecatol City for the victory royal! >To help him, all he needs is for you to follow this simple instruction:Step 1) Download the ship model files from files.catbox.moe/jvc8fc.zipStep 2) While downloading (or afterwards if you're slow) go to your Tabletop Simulator settings, and find the Mod Caching setting in the general tab. Flip it to ON if it's not already, and locate the Mod Save Location, you'll need it later. Step 3) Unpack the .zip file, and extract the .obj files from it. Anywhere is fine, you'll move them soon anywayStep 4) Now, from the Mod Save Location, navigate down to the Models folder. (The path should look something like Documents/My Games/Tabletop Simulator/Mods/Models or with slightly different root folders depending on Mod Save Location.) Drop the .obj files you extracted from step 3 into the Models folder. Overwrite if necessary.Step 5) Close and re-open Tabletop Simulator to apply changes.

>Root>Get bullied as Cats by double Vagabond cancer (Tinker and Harrier)>Pull out a dominance and win anyway. Because the only other player is the fucking Woodland Alliance.Feels good, man.
>>1045179This is happening in around 2 hours, currently planning for Europa Universalis but we might play something else if there is demandHow to play EU: https://youtu.be/5aZwXK3GuBE
>>1045973Hyeck! That's a lot!But I'm ready for this disaster
>>1045973>1 hour long rule explanationpossible the heaviest game ever hosted here, good luck
>>1046024https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDMWjdHwPr0
It's up/vm/ big game huntersragePossible games are Europa Universalis or TI4
>>1046039To be fair Pax Ren can be taught in much much less. That video just goes really into detail about each separate op and one-shot. I haven't checked the EU video but it being a RTFM video it probably has a lot of skits in between the teaching.
>>1046024How much of that is just setup?
>>1046070yes
Room status?
>>1046119alive again
Root in 4,5hours
>>1046157Will be like 3 am but i'll try to be there since it's just friday
>>1046249a friend is coming.We may play another game
>>1046299/vm/ broothrage
>>10463023/7come in
>>1046056War... War never changes.Thanks to everyone who joined, even the people that left in the rear of round 1 and forced us to restart it for a much, much bloodier conclusion. Honestly I think the screenshot speaks for itself.
>>1046332There's always a rage quitter. Wouldn't be a 4X game otherwise
>>1046340Nah, that's not even the worst of it. The rulebook is geniunely bad, as it has some parts of an action in one place, and other parts in another. And that's not just for Trade, this is for all of them.At least I know the Price of Power now. It's $219.99 + shipping + tax + tip
>>1046344Is it worth it at all? Why would you not just play the video game?
I'll be hosting some fast(ish) and light(ish) games, starting in around 10 minutes. I'm open to requests.
>>1046425It's openServer: /vm/ fillersPassword: rage
>>1046429based booper. I don't think I'll be able to join you however.
>>1046425>>1046429I would but I'm too sad srry
>>1046445
Filler host here, I need to close the server for around 30 minutes while I play Azul with my mother. After that, I'll be back and able to host.
>>1046391>Why would you not just play the video game?The same reason why you play any board game over a video gameNone
>>1046465At least some other board games have no video game counterpart.
>>1046299After a good lad waited with me for one hour i gave up, and then these guys showed up to play.GG.
>>1046479>Moles win again
>>1046481This is why you always kill Moles. Always.
>>1046483Surprised they got ahead so far with Cats and Rats on the game, a good mob token placement can just eat their buildings and trigger Price of Failure to stop their swaying fairly easily.
>>1046479>moles erect to hide their numbersI didn't notice they were on the board until I read >>1046481
>>1046485>Expecting Cats to actively police.It was Rats' job that game, really.
Aight, I'm back./vm/ fillersrage
>>1046447thx anon
>>1046492If you can wait 6 or 8 hours I'll be there
>>1046560Ok, I'll try again in the morning :)
