Five G's please.

"Good God girl getta grip."

I know!  ignition’s DM sounds like a nightmare.

It never made sense to me why a DM would go out of their way to make a game, y'know - that thing that's supposed to be fun, as unpleasant as possible for the rest of the players.
if it's any reference point, this guy is the type of person who does co-op in Souls games with the intent of getting the summoner killed.

Ah, a sadist. I ... would not like to have a sadist as a DM, nosirree.

He is a combination of things.  He constantly "rolls" nat 20s.  He always aims to kill us.  He does the devil's paw thing where he construes what you say in the worst way possible.  He has tried to say many times that if you dont explicitly state things you didnt do it.  He tried to claim we were all unarmed because we left the inn and town and didnt state we were grabbing our equipment, bags, gear, etc.  He also changes the rules to fit his plans.  He had an action i did kill an npc because chaos when the spell explicitly states it cant affect items being worn or carried.

Ooo, haha, yeah, the ones that look for any way to screw the party over. That's really rough. They might call it "tough love," but it certainly makes the players less likely to continue.


As for Dice Throne, i always do the KS, but you can usually get it at LGS, and then folks see it at like Barnes and noble and amazon sometimes.  Some stuff is available through backerkit at dicethrone.com. frequently they are at BG cons too

Sweet - thanks for the tips!

I know you're all having a nice board game conversation and all, but in all honesty, and while this is an "Internet forum", I  think what transpired shouldn't be tolerated, and at the very least should be admonished. Many of you give seether a lot of flak for the way he behaves, and even banned him, yet a figure of "order" within the forum commits an act of suppression towards its denizens and it's, for the lack of a better word, scoffed at. That shouldn't be acceptable.

pzeke, I don't know if I've interacted with you much, but I see and hear you. I don't know the situation, I'm afraid, but what's done is apparently done, and with as much hostility and negativity already on the internet and IRL, can we just move on? The rules are just recently posted, and prior to that, mods had to make decisions from what they could see. We're hoping that with rules now available for all to see, some consistency can now be found moving forward.

I love Dominion, and there are a couple co-op board games called Forbidden Island/Desert that I love too  :)

My brother has Dominion - I have yet to try it still! It's actually sitting behind me since we have a board game collection at work.
Forbidden Desert is great; the dynamic tile board aspect is really neat since I hadn't seen anything like that before.
I haven't played Forbidden Island yet - do you have a preference between the two?


I have started playing D&D with a shitty group and shittier DM off and on lately.  Also Dice Throne as always.

Hm, I'm curious what makes a DM bad. Is it just his attitude? Too rigid to the rules?
And I keep looking out for Dice Throne at my LGS. Looking at Amazon, there's the Kickstarter seasons and then others that are VS boxes. Is the game unavailable?

Kash, did I read correctly that you're now officially off the market?

Yes ma'am! As they say in the south, "We done did the damn thing!" last April. <3

Congrats! The bf and I are now the fiancé and I though the official date is still TBH.

Do y'all do D&D in person or through other means? I used to play with Scott (remember that guy?) over Skype (remember that program?), but that group has since fizzled out. Some friends have expressed interest in the past, but no one has DM experience. I'm thinking of giving it a try, but I'm not a good storyteller, and it seems like a loooooot of work...

I wish I could try some board games. I just don’t have anyone to play with.

No one in the family is interested?

Also, is anyone playing board games these days? It's nice to be off the internet/screen for a while...

General / VGCollect Forum Rules
« on: February 03, 2020, 05:06:16 pm »
Over the years VGCollect has prided itself on having one of the most welcoming video game discussion communities on the internet.  As the site continues to grow, it is important that we manage to maintain this welcoming atmosphere.  It is for that reason that the staff has decided it is time we clearly defined the rules of conduct and guidelines of the VGCollect forum community. Administrators have the final word on what constitutes forum misconduct, and forum rules are subject to change and revision.

  • Treat Fellow Members with Respect
      a. Personal attacks and harassment are unacceptable under any circumstances.
      b. Criticizing members for their personal taste in games, consoles, etc. is not allowed.
      c. Offensive material (e.g. racism, pornography, profanity, excessive vulgarity, etc.), including usernames, signatures, avatars, and uploaded content, will not be tolerated anywhere on the site.
  • Low Quality Posts
      a. Posting a high volume of low quality posts is not allowed on VGCollect.  Spamming the forum, even in the Off Topic section, is not allowed.
  • Religion and Politics
      a. Discussion of these topics are not permitted.
  • Illegal Software
      a. Discussion of game emulation is completely allowed, but linking to ROMs, ISOs, etc. is not permitted.
  • Consequences
      a. Punishment for violating the rules is based on the severity of the violation and administrator discretion.  This can range from a warning, to possibly a temporary or permanent ban.
      b. If an administrator gives a warning in a thread, users should not continue in their conduct or directly engage the administrator publicly in the thread.  However, the user or users can message the administrative staff to further discuss the issue in private.
      c. Any attempts to circumvent a ban by creating new accounts will not be tolerated.
Additional rules specifically pertaining to the Marketplace will be found in the Marketplace subforum.

Hm, I've seen that pop-up today, but never when I visit this site. Clicking through into Google, it'll show me the site(s) that might have insecure passwords with links to help directing you to change or delete them.

I found a link to the stream (not sure if it's permanent)

http://www.twitch.tv/justmedashv/v/522558103?sr=a&t=2s

If dash marks it to be saved, it can be permanent :)

I made a highlight of the entire stream. The highlight should be permanent.

awesome - it was a blast to watch it live!
