[fluid palm]

sorry photo worst quality ever but quite proud

[royal nacelle]

I like the wing colours. Blood on the slashers' claws is a nice touch, looks alarmingly real.

[fluid palm]

thanks bro!

[tight chasm]

how many times can you use a free action like the subata?

[keen hamlet]

til the ammo runs dry

[bitter hinge]

till you say "that last shot was a mistake"

[lethal abyss]

Does anyone know where I can get the board game?

That isn’t a scam

[royal nacelle]

Depends where you live

[pliant adder]

I'm also interested in purchasing it. North America btw

[royal nacelle]

USA folks can get it here: https://drg-expansions.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders/

[royal nacelle]

Europeans can only currently get the standard edition (unless you find a reputable reseller online); https://moodpublishing.com/collections/deep-rock-galactic

MOOD have mentioned in passing that stuff will be restocked and that the expansions will be available on their webstore there, by the end of the year, but not more detailed info available yet

[lethal abyss]

[pliant adder]

danka

[simple arch]

i still have not received my game yet

[royal nacelle]

Are you an original backer or did you get it on backerkit?

[simple arch]

i got the newcomers collector choice

when the expansion got announced

[royal nacelle]

Might be something with your survey in that case. Suggest you email [e-mail] and ask them.

[fickle isle]

What is the point of the DRG board game?

[neat mirage]

That's an odd question

[fickle isle]

Like, what is it about?

[royal nacelle]

Same as DRG the video game.

[fickle isle]

[pseudo badger]

you can find some vids of ppl playing the board game so you can get the gist of it

[sudden canopy]

Will the expansions ever be officially available again?

[royal nacelle]

Ever is a long time. MOOD have indicated that they'll have stuff on their webstore at the end of the year.

[sudden canopy]

Very good

[waxen hazel]

It’s about 4 dwarves that go into a mine, collecting minerals and fighting arachnids known as “Glyphids” supported by other insects like Q’ronar Shellbacks and Naeodocytes, which look like jellyfish. It’s strikingly similar to the hit game “Deep Rock Galactic” developed by Coffee Stain Games and published by Ghost Ship Studios

[lime jungle]

Wait

There's a video game?

[ancient prawn]

Correct, a true 3d, terrain breaking, fully immersive videogame based on the boardgame.

it even plays coop up to 4 players

plus, there's cosmetic DLCs and seasonnal content to mimic the myriad ways you can paint the boardgame minis.

[ocean jay]

so, i looked back and saw some insight about this but
is the autocannon any good? it seems its ammo efficency is difficult to ultilize

[royal nacelle]

It's some good yes

Ammo efficienty is easy to utilize in a team

If you let others do mission objective stuff you can do shooty stuff

[ocean jay]

thats true, but with more teammates you have less actions to use the gun

[royal nacelle]

It's more that you're using your actions instead of ammo, that's the efficienty. Minigun and Hurricane launcher are the opposite, you're spending bucketloads of ammo in few actions.

[ocean jay]

maybe im viewing the weapon wrong

hmm

[royal nacelle]

Part of its power also comes from the fact that explosive dice don't miss, at worst you can push back the creature, as long as you're shooting at something that doesn't have explosive resistance

[ocean jay]

mathwise some basic calculations ive done said its rather weak

numerically

[royal nacelle]

Overall the red die is now the most powerful die, due to resistances against armour piercing that were added in the expansions (if you play with those, that is)

[ocean jay]

although that may have been flawed ... uhhh

[lime jungle]

in my experience it depends on the rest of the loadout including your teammates. Less enemies are resistant to explosive than green bullet dice

[ocean jay]

iirc even if you used only the 2 action ability on the gun the total average damage was only slightly higher then the minigun

resistances were not accounted for thats true

[lime jungle]

and with the minigun it's easy to run out of ammo before you end your turn

[tired pike]

the minigun can miss
The autocannon can’t

[royal nacelle]

Something like 11.67 points of damage vs 10. But you're also fearing enemies instead of missing, and fewer resistances.

I'd take a 16% damage increase plus fears 😉

But yeah, it ends up being situational. The skillcurve goes up a bit, since you have to make the call between single action or double action shot, and let others do the objective stuff more if you stand still to shoot

[ocean jay]

i will say, that is 10 actions compared to 1-5 actions for that 1.67 dmg
technically, if you want to get into optimal scenario, you could melee like 5-9 times with those actions

there is other very valid things people have brought up, though.

although the melee argument isnt really a fair one lol

[royal nacelle]

Yup, to get 10v10 damage for a better comparison you'd use the single action shot a few times, but even so you got the fears to take into consideration. Instead of missing you're pushing enemies back to keep yourself/the team safer.

And if there's an engineer around those fears can also trigger the sentry gun.

So free shots in that sense

[ocean jay]

.... ooo thats a cool combo

[royal nacelle]

All in all I think it's balanced enough. The minigun may feel more powerful because you can situationally spend heaps of ammo to deal with an imminent threat.

Personally I've played more with the autocannon because I made a custom miniature before even getting the game. Took me ages to get around to painting the minigun gunner xD

[royal nacelle]

Vibrant colour choices, really makes them stand out and look alive

[fluid palm]

Rock n' stone

[fluid palm]

9 more minis to do i can do it!

[misty verge]

What paints do folks use?

[copper sorrel]

paints for model painting mostly.

[amber wind]

There's a drg board game?

(Already knew, just playing the joke)

[lime jungle]

You pranked me

[jolly folio]

Hello everyone! I decided to try painting a figure from this board game, but for me it will be the first time. I found a store with paints for miniatures, but they told me that it is better to have the exact number of the shade that I need. So my question is: what are the shade numbers of the grunts and how do I even find them out?

[royal nacelle]

"shade number" isn't a term I've heard used before. Unless it's them asking for you to find out which exact paint you want I've no idea what they're asking.

Depending on what brand of paint you were looking at they all have different paint ranges and thus "numbers". And can be entirely different.

I mean there's nothing that says a "#210" is always a light brown, or such

And "shade" isn't a widely used term either, was it Games Workshop paints you were looking at?

[jolly folio]

it was some small shop with board games and D&D miniatures

Maybe shades is the wrong term that I used. I just dont know what its called correctly in English.

[royal nacelle]

Ah right. Well either way the different brands have different names for paints, some of them have numbers attached.

[jolly folio]

I'll probably just take it by eye

[royal nacelle]

Probably best, yes

People here have listed what colours they use, but unless you use those exact brands it won't necessarily help much.

[jolly folio]

Ok, thanks anyway

[copper sorrel]

My advice, open DRG, use the monster manual and have a picture of the whole range of the paint brands available at your hobby store. Then write down for each creature which colour you'll use.

Otherwise, you can't really go wrong with a starter set + 2-3 specific colours not included, then mix the paints on your palette to get the colours you want.

[lime jungle]

Do you mean hex numbers? For example, #ffffff is white and #000000 is black?

You can color pick an image and match the colors with available paints using a Paint Compatability Chart found online. You'll most likely never come across the exact colors, but you can find ones that are close enough

[copper sorrel]

The only company I know using numbers is tamiya.

[jolly folio]

I looked, the company is called Vallejo

[copper sorrel]

They are a great brand.

[fluid palm]

2 more done

[lime jungle]

Incredible. Praetorians are my fav

[lime jungle]

On their website you can get catalogues with their current paint ranges

Idk why but Vallejo's numbers are mixed up and don't go in order

[fluid palm]

no more glyphids to do. Only dwarfs and moly.

[rigid dew]

does anyone know how can i get my hands on the drg board game?

[lofty kiln]

https://drg-expansions.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders/

This might help you

I found it scrolling up a bit

[rigid dew]

thank you

it all says sold out though, do you reckon i can still place an order?

[royal nacelle]

Sold out means sold out. Looks like currently you can only get the standard edition directly from MOOD ; https://moodpublishing.com/collections/deep-rock-galactic

They've mentioned restocking at the end of the year, but we've no further details about that (if it even happens, I see now they've added the expansions there but those are sold out too)

[rigid dew]

that works! thank you !!!

[royal nacelle]

Happy to help, just be aware the standard edition doesn't have miniatures except for the dwarves.

[rigid dew]

thats unfortunate , i was actually looking forward to the deluxe

[royal nacelle]

You could buy the STL files though if you have a 3d printer or a friend that can help you out

[rigid dew]

i dont have access to a 3D printer : (

[royal nacelle]

Depending on your location you might be able to find a retailer that has the game

[rigid dew]

there is literally just ONE board game retailer and they dont have it, its practically a non-existent hobby where im from

[lime jungle]

I've seen one copy of the standard edition in a games store out of several near my location. Only once.

Never seen any of the expansions for sale though. Even on websites

[modest sluice]

Is it available for retail already? I went to the boardgame store along my street and they said they still have it pre-ordered

[royal nacelle]

It's probably even come and gone. At least over here the 2nd ed stuff that's been listed has already sold, what few I can find locally are just standard edition.

MOOD have mentioned putting stuff on their webstore, but not sure how much of that will be restocked or when.

[thorn sandal]

Has anyone else from Europe still not received their order/any notice?

I’ve wondered about asking this last week too but I decided to wait more and still nothing

[royal nacelle]

When did you order?

[royal nacelle]

If you pledged during the Kickstarter then something might be wrong with your survey.

[thorn sandal]

Sorry for the late response, I ordered it directly from MOOD on the 6th of September

[royal nacelle]

Reckon you'll have to email [e-mail] and ask. Were you already charged for it?

[thorn sandal]

Payment did go through as the email said and I had received the project update email on September 7th

I’ll contact the support center as soon as possible

Thx once again for the help

[royal nacelle]

Might just be a warehouse hiccup or something, but seems like a very long time to wait for a package if they had it in stock. Worst case you might get a refund, or they're waiting for additional stock. Hope they answer quickly and you get it sorted out.

[twilit hemlock]

Never even got to the pump jack...
we had the If don't activate swarm, activate creatures hazard

[flat stone]

Any update on that?

[heavy jacinth]

First dwarf done. Unfortunately I was too late for the deluxe edition, so I had to get the retail version from local store.

[tacit yew]

looks awesome

[rose garden]

Hi guys, I just played the board game for the first time and did the first two missions. Unfortunately we found them extremely easy and there was no tension at all. Does it get more challenging later on and could you suggest some missions in the book where it starts getting interesting ? Thanks

[royal nacelle]

Mission 3 is kind of a newbie killer, where stuff can ramp up really fast. But yes stuff gets bit harder as you go along, mission 5 can also be spicy for new players.

[coral turtle]

danngggg

such a good paintjob and base

[verbal aurora]

anyone hear anything about when that goo from above expansion is available? thinking of nabbing the 2ndE Delux box around december and figured i'd add that on top :P

[royal nacelle]

Nothing's been made public about MOOD restocking anywhere. You might be hard pressed on even getting the base game by December.

[steep pulsar]

Nice work! Whose design is it?

[verbal aurora]

ah jeez, well thanks for the heads up

[royal nacelle]

It was primarily a Kickstarter campaign, there might be more production runs later on but there's been no word on if/when that would be.

[verbal aurora]

well hopefully they stock up more i know they're still selling them in the UK

i'll still nab 2nd edition tho, just later

[royal nacelle]

Stock is limited, so I'd recommend getting it ASAP rather than waiting, if possible.

[worthy relic]

How do I get the tts version?

[ebon yacht]

Dang, Johnno still here in the mines?
I went and got a Bachelor's degree, came back, and you're still here helping out.
Does it ever get boring?

[royal nacelle]

DRG is a comfortable place to fall back on. I've been doing other things as well (about to start printing some Starfield diorama stuff), but yup still here.

[ebon yacht]

It's just love of the game.

[thorn sandal]

By reviewing my order I’ve just recently noticed the estimated arrival is due to December, so I’ll just have to wait a little more time

thanks for worrying

I’ll start playing during the winter holidays

[barren trout]

In the TTS steam workshop here:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2750642580

[worthy relic]

TY!!!

[worthy relic]

Will there ever be" standard" biome and space rig expansions? And if so will they come to retail?

[royal nacelle]

Unlikely as there wasn't enough interest in the base game's standard edition to warrant them in the first place.

[worthy relic]

AGH

DIES

Okay

[worthy relic]

Question, can you toggle expansions for the tts game?

[verbal aurora]

honestly the best one i found, the only thing missing for me, is it doens't have the soundtrack preloaded in for my to play during the game with my buddies >:P
"alright i draw an event card- we have a swarm"
and i just turn on RUN! as i place down the grunts and spitters

[worthy relic]

Question, can bosco be attacked?

This game is actually quite fun on tts

[verbal aurora]

.> i dont think so?

i think he's just a sent of bonus actions for you, that's it. i could recheck the book

[verbal aurora]

yep, just double checked. here's a screenshot from tts c:

cannot be attacked

he's removed if you go down tho which is a neat idea

[worthy relic]

Okay!!!!!

Also this game is so FUN like damn

[verbal aurora]

right!?

[worthy relic]

Alsl would the standard edition be worth it?

Cuz that's the only version in stock for me

[verbal aurora]

i mean Id think so if you just like the game, iirc all you miss out on are the glyphid and "misc" minis (molly, stalagmits, ect ect)
which, if i remember, you can find stl's of those on places like etsy tbf

[worthy relic]

True

Does the warthog attack twjce?

Cuz it had two dice icons

Nvm found it

[verbal aurora]

yes, 1 ammo for 2 shots, 1 piercing 1 regular

if it was like say the double barrel, or engineers grenade launcher where the dice are seperated by a line, that's "roll 2 pick 1"

[worthy relic]

Does piercing break through wardens sheild

[verbal aurora]

yes

[worthy relic]

Fuck yeah

[verbal aurora]

Peircing shots are only resisted against oppressors, rammers, dreadnaughts, and the korlock weeds

[worthy relic]

HELL YESH I GOT A DOUBLE SHOT ON THE ARMOR PEIRCING

[verbal aurora]

and for all of those, they're only resistance to one piercing damage

ayyy

its what makes pericing so good despite the weapons that have it shooting so few shots, they're meant to take down tougher foes c;

[worthy relic]

Do all creatures get activated every time it's the event phase

[verbal aurora]

depends on the wording on the card. which one is it?

because so far i've found too, "Activale All Creatures", and "Activate all other creatures"

if it's the former, yes, you activate them all in the proper heirarchy order, after you've brought in any extras if requested by the card.
if the former? leave the new spawns alone, you got lucky

[worthy relic]

No like, if a bug is already on the board do I move it each turn?

[verbal aurora]

no only when an event/swarm card tells you to activate it

[worthy relic]

SO IVE BEEN MAKING MY LIFE JARDER?!?!?!?

Okay!

Good to know

Very good to onow

[verbal aurora]

oh trust me, me n my buddy did the same thing.
didnt spawn the bugs on the spawn tokens first, didn't realized move was an action that let you go AT MOST 3 spaces, not 1. it was bad

but fun XD

[worthy relic]

They should make that a mode

[verbal aurora]

we did it's called "first game?" XD

[worthy relic]

Maybe there sould ne one lime called hazard 5+ where it's hazard 5 but all enemies activate every turn

[royal nacelle]

Already exists, once you get as far as playing the mutators in the Spacerig expansion.

[worthy relic]

Damn

[wispy cairn]

I have a question about mission 15 of the biome expansion if anyone can help (sorry if this has been asked before). Should the brood nexus activate before you've mined through to its cave? We assumed that it does activate as the mission book doesn't say not to, but the cave of the praetorian mission in the base game says the creatures don't activate until your reach their cave, so I wondered if the same applied here

[royal nacelle]

As it's not specified that it doesn't, I would activate it. Gives you an extra incentive to get to it quickly.

[wispy cairn]

Thanks, I agree, I guess it's only grunts too

[tacit yew]

i personally dont activate creatures in separate caves

unless its brood nexus or the breeder

[royal nacelle]

Considering Biome mission 4 has a separate cave with tunnel exit 2 on it, and Oppressor spawns on exit 2, I'd activate them just so you can have the oppressor tunneling out and connecting the cave, even if the Dwarves don't want to.

[dense crown]

where can you buy the board game?

[royal nacelle]

My DRG skyscraper is complete

[haughty slate]

hello

[livid venture]

Is there a way to access the goo from above rules without making an account in board game geek? If it's the only way I'll do it but probably will never use the account again, so feel like it's a bit pointless if there's another alternative.

[royal nacelle]

You'd have to ask someone very nicely to send them to you I suppose. BGG is the official upload, but since it's public and free I reckon they're free to share as such.

[livid venture]

Ok thanks

[royal nacelle]

check yer dms

[bronze plank]

Hi guys, just asking if the sticky part on the stalk bit of the goo bombers are part of the figure or is to come off? Thanks in advance 🙂

[royal nacelle]

You can remove it

[tacit yew]

i never got any sticky part on mine

[tight chasm]

Is there a random mission generator for windows?

[royal nacelle]

Nope

[tight chasm]

[austere tulip]

some homebrew I made (not tested) would be really gratefull for some feedback

[ornate dock]

The boltshark one is really creative and I love it

[austere tulip]

thats the only 1 i tried

ty

[ornate dock]

But the shard diffractiez is too op I think

[ornate dock]

Wide lens also sound really op for 8 range

[austere tulip]

yea ik

i need to test the wave cooked and shard diffractor out cuz they seem op

[austere tulip]

but the thing is u rarely get 8 tiles in a straight line let alone 8 bugs in it

[wispy cairn]

Does anyone have a pdf or images of the combined missions that they'd be willing to share with me? I feel kind of rude for asking, but buying the physical book doesn't seem worth it for me after taxes and shipping. BGG only contains a pdf of mission 2 currently

[austere tulip]

I just realised that actually not all the time because you can keep focus for only 3 actions at best and you need to have a lucky hand because i just threw both yellow dice empty 3 times in a row

[royal nacelle]

The damage is balanced by ammo in the game, which is why all shooting costs ammo (with very few exceptions). Also keep in mind weapons can have upgrades, so you're looking at a potential of 8 damage, times three, for the cost of one ammo.

[austere tulip]

damn

[opaque idol]

Question about the v2 Rules Expansion.. My son was given the Biomes expansion as a gift from someone and we are both fans of the game. We bought in with the original Kickstarter with all the add ons, but looking at it we now need the v2 Rules to play Biomes. Can you play without the v2 Expansion kit? I went to order it from the website and was quoted $45 Shipping on a $12 book. If is available to just download the rules or anything? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

[royal nacelle]

You don't need V2 rules to play the expansions. V1 rules work just fine.

You can also email [e-mail] and ask them about the shipping, don't think it should be $45.

The rulebooks themselves are available on Board Game Geek, if you want to look at the 2nd edition rules. But as said, 1st edition works just fine.

[lime jungle]

V2 rules are virtually the same as V1 just updated wording

[urban iron]

nice! i have ordered bulk detonator and korlok, but i have yet to find goo from above...

[faint wharf]

Driller finally painted, pretty happy with the metallic copper accent on the exhaust pipes

[ornate dock]

Looks good

[tulip cloud]

does anyone know how long does it usually take for the store to restock? the game looks really fun and i've been meaning to get it when the deluxe edition gets back in stock

[limber crow]

It's not that kind of store. They may restock, but everything has been made to order for the KickStarter campaigns, plus a few extra

[mint sparrow]

Just got this for my birthday

[warm breach]

I need to get a group of friends together to play this game again, I've only been able to play it a couple times since I moved

[ebon flicker]

Happy birthday!

[little nebula]

Does anyone off hand know what size of the mission and beer cards is? Looking to get sleeves at my LGS, thanks!

[royal nacelle]

44x63mm according to campaign info. I can pull out my game box here in a bit to doublecheck exact measurements if you want

44.0 x 63.1 mm according to manual caliper.

[little nebula]

Thank you very much!

[karmic escarp]

If anyone here is familiar with the warhammer 40k table top game, I’d like some feedback on an idea.

I want to make a League of Votann model, for each dwarf and primary weapon option.

If anyone has some ideas as to what weapons could be used to stand in for the drillers sludge pump and cryo cannon, I’d appreciate it.

I’ve got the rest of the weapons pretty well figured out, as most can be found in the kits for the LoV.

[royal nacelle]

You'd have to go Chaos for the sludge, surely.

[karmic escarp]

Oh, OH

the plague belcher from the death guard!

I guess that leaves the cryo cannon.

[royal nacelle]

https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Helfrost_Weapons

[karmic escarp]

Hmm…
I mean, it’s got the theme right, but it doesn’t look like the cryo cannon. It’ll have to do if nothing else comes up

[royal nacelle]

Thunderkyn looks close

[karmic escarp]

Yea, I’ve got those three weapons lined up for other models.
Bolt cannon for the auto cannon.
Graviton blast cannon for the grenade launcher.
And the conversion Beamer for the shard defractor

The basic warrior kit can cover pretty much everything else

Except the minigun actually,
But I was going to use an assault cannon for that.

[lime jungle]

If you're kitbashing, the weapon on the right might work as a cryo cannon

From the Farstalker Kinband Kill Team Set

[lime jungle]

That looks pretty good for a Shard Diffractor

[karmic escarp]

what on earth is that weapon called?

[lime jungle]

Dvorgite Skinner

Had no idea until now. I just saw it on the box

[karmic escarp]

Time to look for a bits website

[lime jungle]

You might find sellers on ebay

For individual parts

[heavy jacinth]

Some sort of plasma cannon?

[karmic escarp]

I was thinking of using a plasma cannon, or even a plasma incinorator, from the hellblasters kit

but i think that Dvorgite skinner looks pretty damn spot on for a Cryo cannon

[mint sparrow]

Aftermath of my first game

[rancid night]

Is the board game worth 86 USD?

I like DRG but that's a pretty high price tag

[tacit yew]

its worth it imo

and if you are in the board game channel everyone will tell you its worth it

because we all own it

so its not really the best source

[tight chasm]

Does the oppresser still get its full movment if it moves though a stalgmite

like if its first movement space is though a stalagmite does it still have 2 more movement or is it like driller and stops movement

[tame tapir]

It's worth it. I'd get it before the tariffs kick in and make it more expensive.

[lime jungle]

I probably spent something a little over $1600 AUD. No regrets

Maybe check out some reviews for an unbiased decision

[royal nacelle]

Yup it just crushes walls and stalagmites as if they were nothing

[tight chasm]

o_o

[proven tartan]

Do I see that right or Engineer really has the grenade launcher as his primary?

[bitter hinge]

yup

[royal nacelle]

Engineer has the grenade launcher, breach cutter, and shard diffractor as his primaries, yes.

[bitter hinge]

It works pretty well as a primary and keeps the dwarves feeling more unique

(and to be fair, half the builds in the vg effectively use it as a primary lol)

[proven tartan]

I will buy a try out of the game if I like it, I will prob bux it.

buy

[tame tapir]

Hopefully you will try it soon, no telling how long it will be in stock.

[proven tartan]

we have it in hungary so dw

[steep pulsar]

The Engineer basically has the primary/secondary slots swapped vs the way it is in the video game. It works out better for the interchangeable secondaries in the board game, and honestly makes more sense to me. Every other class has their "heavy" weapon as primary, with the secondary weapon being a sidearm/pistol or oddball. Does the engineer's smg compare better to the minigun and flamethrower, or to the BRT and Subata?

[rigid birch]

Painting progress from todays stream

[drowsy fable]

I heard somewhere you might be able to, can you do the DRG board game solo

[royal nacelle]

Yes you can

[drowsy fable]

Ok thanks

Also, it's only available on Kickstarter rn right

[royal nacelle]

It's on Backerkit and MOOD Publishing's webstore. There are some additional retailers but you'd have to look those up yourself. Any local or online store you normally buy boardgames from could well have it.

[hollow bluff]

What are the dimensions of the models?

Im about to make up a warhammer 40k Leagues of Votann army into a DRG theme and may use the bits

[royal nacelle]

Look to be boardgame scale, so 45mm tall or so.

[tight chasm]

Is the shard diffractor part of an extension pack?

[royal nacelle]

Yes, the Biome expansion.

[tight chasm]

I’m assuming the other classes also get another primary?

[royal nacelle]

Yup

[tight chasm]

Do any of the expansions add new grenades, secondary’s

[royal nacelle]

Biome adds some throwables and secondaries, think spacerig had two secondaries as well.

[tight chasm]

What do they add?

[royal nacelle]

shredder swarm grenade, springloaded ripper, pheromone canister, tactical leadburster, neurotoxin grenade, voltaic stun sweeper.

armskore coil gun, LOK-1 smart rifle, colette wave cooker, nishanka boltshark x-80, stubby explosive SMG, subata 120 scoped.

[chrome rune]

Does anyone know how long fire lasts?

[signal lodge]

Until the start of the driller's next turn

I swear I'm missing something. In the combined space rig and biome expansion mission book, mission 2: hasty escort is in the fungus bogs, and the mission specific event is glyphid eggs hatching... But in the map to set up there's no glyphid eggs at all, and I don't see anywhere where it says more can be set up during a game. So the mission specific event never does anything?

(pls @me with an answer if anyone has one)

[urban iron]

Strange, im gonna do that mission soon so i will let you know if i find something

[royal nacelle]

There's an updated version on board game geek where the poison spore fungus tokens have been swapped for glyphid cocoons. A few other missions have errors as well.

[signal lodge]

thank you so much!

[chrome nexus]

I have a question… I’ve been playing the board game in solo mode with Bosco and curious to know why Bosco can’t end his turn over a deep pit since he can fly. Is there a reason for this or did I misunderstand how Bosco’s movement ends?

Because I’ve encountered many a turn moving Bosco and having to end the movement prematurely because there were deep pits on either the 2nd or rarely 3rd movement space.

[royal nacelle]

Rules say so is the reason. You could use the same reasoning to ask why he can't end his turn on top of a creature.

[chrome nexus]

I get that to an extent, but if he’s flying then wouldn’t the deep pit be kind of moot? It’s not like he’s a Scout using the grappling hook for movement.

[royal nacelle]

Since he's an extension of the Dwarf the limitation I would guess is there to force you into tactical decisions, to crowd the Dwarf's movable area.

[chrome nexus]

Also, because I’m using Goo From Above, do Menaces and Goo Bombers move after the rest of the bugs or do the fit before Praetorians/Oppressors/Wardens?

[royal nacelle]

Goo bomber goes before grunts, Menace goes after Warden.

[chrome nexus]

Really? Thought Bombers would be closer to Mactera if not after the big nasty boys. Thank you!

[royal nacelle]

Really really. You can of course play them in whatever order you personally want, any order has its pros and cons.

[chrome nexus]

Either way I’m still screwed. xD

This is what I’ve wound up with. An oppressor and both menace and bomber by turn seven. Fml xD

[royal nacelle]

Bit rough unless you have the grenade launcher, and ammo for it. Then just bloop tube the Oppressor in the face.

[chrome nexus]

I’m unfortunately running the BC with the Warthog.

[royal nacelle]

Time to pickaxe the wall and run

[idle apex]

@royal nacelle Do you by chance know shipping time for US orders? Finally gave in yesterday and ordered the expansions.

[royal nacelle]

I'd have to guess a few weeks.

[chrome nexus]

I tried to do that when the oppressor showed up. That's how he caught me in that tunnel there. 🤣

I zigged when I should've zagged.

[sturdy dew]

Hi, i recently played a game of base game+plus biome and mixed up the grenades from both, some can list me the 6 from the expansion?

[royal nacelle]

#drg-board-game message

You can still play the base game with the new weapons/grenades if you want, but there's the list

[sturdy dew]

It was to store everything again in the boxes without mixing base/biome stuff

Thanks

[chrome nexus]

Are the new expansion and cards available for purchase or are the pre-orders still being sent out? I wound up missing my chance to pre-order the new expansion. T.T

[royal nacelle]

They're sold out most places. Backerkit still has some for USA peeps

https://drg-expansions.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders

[lime forge]

I'm curious if anyone has made miniature for Bosco-Chan for the board game yet

Cause I would want one for my board game but idk how to make it lol

[royal nacelle]

I made a custom BOSCO but not Bosco-chan

Can't be that hard, smush together some anime character and buncha BOSCO bits

[lime forge]

I was thinking I could probably try to find the file for the model in the bosco-chan mod and drag it into the a 3d print software

[chrome nexus]

Thanks, man!

[signal lodge]

So, did an elimination mission with some friends, ended up cheesing it using a shield generator and a supply pod to basically never take damage. Is this legal or did we mess something up?

(Basically the gunner would put down their shield generator, then on their next turn use an action to take 1 ammo from the supply pod and thus get the generator back, and place it down again)

[royal nacelle]

Rules do say gunner's space, or adjacent empty space, so you might've cheated on that maybe. Other than that, nope it's within the rules.
I personally play one shield per resupply, as specifically not to be able to cheese like that.

And while playtesting the encounter prior to 'release' I did recommend that certain Dreadnought effects go through the gunner's shield (if it were to even work at all against Dreadnought), but those weren't implemented.

[signal lodge]

We had the gunner's shield placed in the space next to him, so we were all good on that front. I definately agree that the additional aeffects should have gone through

I was playing scout and moved so I was behind it and further away than everyone else in the shield, so it kept targeting them and I could just hit it without its resistances with my m1000

[royal nacelle]

It does trivialize the encounter, if that's how you wanna play.. shrug

[signal lodge]

We kinda started the Strat on accident and were too scared to stop after that

[rancid night]

Can you buy the base 2nd edition and still enjoy the game to its fullest?

or should you buy one of expansions as well?

[royal nacelle]

You can buy either edition and enjoy the game just the same. Some people enjoy the "QoL" changes for 2nd edition, some don't.

[rancid night]

I wasn't referring to edition. I mean't whether I should get the expansions as well.

[royal nacelle]

The "Fullest" enjoyment would be from buying Spacerig and Biome expansions as well. Goo, Bulk, and Korlok are more optional.

There are extra weapons, throwables, mission types, and biomes with their own hazards/effects in the Biome expansion, and assignment (campaign) mode and several mission types in Spacerig expansion.

The base game is great, the expansions do enhance it though.

Also more creatures in Biome expansion, I'm particularly fond of them, while others haven't been as thrilled.

[rancid night]

So I could get the base game, never get any of the (pretty expensive) expansions, and still enjoy the game?

[royal nacelle]

Maybe. Depends on how you enjoy games.

[rancid night]

Wdym

[royal nacelle]

Well they're expansions.

That came nearly two years after the base game.

People have been enjoying the base game for all that time.

You could even make your own miniatures and rules to enjoy the base game even more, by emulating the expansions yourself.

[rancid night]

Alr

Thx for the advice

I might ask for it for Christmas, or just buy it with my own cash.

[royal nacelle]

Might be sold out by then.

[rancid night]

The 2nd edition base game?

[royal nacelle]

Depends where you live, and if you want the Standard or Deluxe edition.

From what I've seen the Deluxe is sold out in Europe, while the Standard edition is still available. Unless you find a retailer.

[rancid night]

$142 for deluxe is pretty expensive

Ill prob just stick with the base game

$77 is much cheaper

[royal nacelle]

Doesn't have miniatures, and the expansions only have miniatures, so bit of a mismatch there if you were to get them later.

[rancid night]

true

um

I'll think about

Its just expensive

[rancid night]

yo

final question

Is there ever going to be a 3rd edition?

[royal nacelle]

Maybe. Probably depends on if they do more expansions, and how well these last expansions / sales did.

[rancid night]

if not I'll prob buy the deluxe

hm

[royal nacelle]

There's been no word on it yet though so anyone's guess.

[rancid night]

I just very don't want the deluxe to ever be outdated

[royal nacelle]

3rd edition wouldn't outdate it, the editions just tweak the rulebook and add some tiny things.

[rancid night]

would probably never get the 3rd edition if I got deluxe 2nd

[rancid night]

So 1st and 2nd will never be outdated?

[royal nacelle]

I have 1st edition, and while I did get 2nd edition upgrade kit I won't be using most of it. I prefer the small rulebook, and the creature board from 1st ed.

[rancid night]

So could you play a new expansion with 1st edition?

or 2nd

(if a 3rd is ever made)

[royal nacelle]

1st and 2nd are practically the same. There are minor rulebook tweaks (and resizing of the rulebook), and 2nd ed got some player aid cards, and creature data cards instead of a big creature sheet.. but they play the same. And you can use either for the expansions.

[crisp echo]

The edition aren't complete game changers like with Twilght Imperium or other games

[rancid night]

Ok

Yeah

I'll def consider get deluxe 2nd editon

I'm just hoping it won't be out of stock by Christmas

Thank you guys

Rock and Stone!

[lime forge]

Got all gold in one game, the bag is empty I had the pick upgrade to roll dice when mined gold and 2 normal lootbugs and gold lootbug

[tacit yew]

lol

[rancid night]

How long did it take for you guys to get the board game?

[royal nacelle]

Base game, 14 months or so.

[ivory tree]

I would pick it up but I havw no friends to play with

[subtle socket]

i dont really have any either. still bought the 1st edition and 3 expansions

[rancid night]

It took 14 months for it to arrive at your house?!

[royal nacelle]

Give or take, yeah. Not too odd since it was Kickstarter.

[rancid night]

If I were to buy it right now from the website, how long would it take to arrive? I live in the US.

[royal nacelle]

Could be anything between 2 and 5 weeks or so.

[rancid night]

You can play solo

[rancid night]

https://tenor.com/view/nikocado-avocado-rage-angry-gif-23510601

I wish I had gif perms.

[royal nacelle]

Depends if FedEx takes it on the scenic greater midwest tour

[rancid night]

How much would shipping be IYO?

price wise

[royal nacelle]

No idea what Backerkit/store rates are nowadays, used to be $25-45. Depends what state you live in probably too.

And if you order from MOOD I'm not sure how they handle shipping/handling/taxes.

If you're getting 2nd ed deluxe from Backerkit then that warehouse is located in the states, in which case you could check the Kickstarter campaign page for shipping rates.

"Eastcoast is cheaper than Westcoast", deluxe base game is $36-40.

[rancid night]

damn

I really want the game, but thats pretty rough

[royal nacelle]

There's always second hand market and online retailers, you could google wildly to find anyone selling it in the states.

[rancid night]

Zatu games is selling it for 96.99 pounds

Around 123 USD

[royal nacelle]

Shipping, import taxes..

[rancid night]

um

lemme check

BRUH

45 dollar shipping is bullshit

wth

well

actually

hm

its still a lot, but buying deluxe 2nd on Mood is 140 not including shipping

I'm not sure tbh

If I were to get it on Zatu Games It would arrive Nov 18-19

pretty fast

might actually be worth it

[tardy merlin]

Hey fellow dwarves! Week old Greenbeard from the UK here.

I got the Deluxe 2nd edition last week and I am really loving it! So much so that I've ordered the Biome and Space rig expansions, as well as some of the accessories, via the BackerKit pre-order link.

However, following filling out the order forms on 7th November, which I have emails as receipts, I can no longer access the final review page (as I wasn't an original backer)

I've contacted BackerKit about this today and will see if I get a response sometime soon.

I'm not bothered about shipping dates as the BackerKit page stated estimated delivery as next month (December) and they haven't charged me yet as they won't have processed my order as it was less than a week ago.

But I just want to know if my survey would still be valid? Has anyone else experienced something like this and, if so, what was the outcome?

Thanks for reading everyone.

Rock and Stone!

[subtle socket]

It's quite a big box

[rancid night]

True

[subtle socket]

For a company that probably doesn't have any long term contract with shipping companies... thats a normal price

[rancid night]

yeah you're right

[tulip cloud]

just wanted to ask, is the only difference between the standard version and deluxe the 3d figures for the bugs and molly?

[bitter hinge]

yes

the game is the same core rules, nothing locked out

note, any and all expansions for the game only come with minis, no cardboard

[rancid night]

All my homies hate cardboard

[wispy cairn]

I'm also in the UK and ordered the Biome expansion last month, received it about a week later, then ordered Space Rig about 2 weeks ago.

In my confirmation email for Space Rig, the final review link opens the order details for my previous order (Biome) for some reason. I'm guessing maybe BackerKit are just having some problems right now, see what they say.

I wasn't an original backer either and it hasn't caused any problems for me so far. It seems like UK stock is separate to EU stock and is fulfilled directly from here.

[tardy merlin]

Thanks so much for your reply! I hope you're enjoying the Biome expansion so far (if you've had chance to play it yet!)

Yeah, they must have some issues with BackerKit at the moment. Like when I opened either form (as I made two separate orders), I could switch between them both with either link but now it's somehow disappeared into thin air like a Huuli Hoarder! Hopefully I will hear back from them for a resolution.

Well, if you Rock and Stone, you're not alone! Yeah, I read about them having a UK fulfilment centre following some issues in the past which is good. Hope you receive your Space Rig expansion soon!

[tight chasm]

How does the LOK-1 work?

[lime jungle]

Can shoot at multiple enemies within range and los and they don't need to be adjacent

[royal nacelle]

What FIVR said.

[tardy merlin]

Hey again. I got an update from BackerKit. I just got this reply regarding my order:

None of the items I was ordering were showing as sold out in the UK, so, I thought I was alright to do this. But they cancelled my order without giving me any correspondence whatsoever without me having to message them.

I guess there is hope that there will be more of the Biome and Space Rig expansions in the new year. But, still, was so looking forward to it!

At least I have the mini expansions coming tomorrow so they will keep me busy for sure!

[steady tartan]

I asked Mood recently about restocking and arriving before Christmas and they got not so good news - expansions will probably be available around March

[tardy merlin]

NOOOOOOO!

Get what you can while you can then ig xD

[royal nacelle]

Been saying that for nearly a year.

Can always get the STLs and print the rulebooks off BGG I reckon.

And make some cardboard tiles for pipes n stuff

[tardy merlin]

Oooo, you know what? YOU'RE A GENIUS JOHNNO!

[royal nacelle]

xD considering I made my own biome and spacerig stuff before even getting the physical boxes, yup 😄

Didn't even use the STLs from MOOD, made my own

[tardy merlin]

Well, luckily enough, I managed to order a copy of Space Rig from MOOD yesterday, so, hopefully will be coming in the next couple of weeks. The only expansion I would be missing is Biomes.

[tardy merlin]

That's so cool! Sadly, I don't have those skills.

[ornate compass]

I just started unboxing the game

🔥

Here in australia we can use live figures

[royal nacelle]

Got buncha these crawling out back eh

[ornate compass]

Yes

[royal nacelle]

well if you're into 3d printing or have a friend who is, you could buy the official STLs. Prior to getting the actual expansion I spawned the new creatures by rolling a die each swarm. Several of the Biome missions also have the new creatures starting on the board, and you could spawn them from mission specific events too. Rules are all in the rulebook on Board Game Geek, easy enough to grab.

[steady tartan]

I haven't noticed the game so early:(

[lime jungle]

I love using the huntsmans I find in my bedroom as grunts

[steady tartan]

That fails on having a 3d printer 🫠

[tardy merlin]

That is a great idea! I'll keep that in mind, thank you!

[steep pulsar]

Buying STLs could also be good for anyone who can only find an old basic edition, but wants figures

[hoary ermine]

is there a way to get extra throwables in normal gameplay without rock and stone cards? or do you only get one per mission?

i wasn't sure if i maybe missed a rule somewhere about getting more

[fluid palm]

Not very proud of my self this time.. but good training

[lime jungle]

There are event cards that give you a chance in getting a grenade

If you got the klorok, killing it will also grant you a bunch of equipment including a grenade

Landing on a grenade icon on the Space Rig Tracker will grant you one also. During or after a mission.

[hoary ermine]

I knew about the space rig thing, but I didn't know about this. Where does it say this on the Korlok? I thought the Korlok hidden cave just had the enemy and a single flare

[royal nacelle]

Rewards are listed on the Korlok's card

[hoary ermine]

Never noticed. Thanks

[lime jungle]

I always forget about the kill rewards for certain enemies

I get too focused on getting rid of the Spitball Infector other than winning an r'n's

[royal nacelle]

I often forget when certain enemies are quick to kill (praetorian, oppressor, spitballer). If I kill them in a single turn I often forget the reward.

[tardy merlin]

Wait, whut? They usually take me a few actions to kill them, especially yesterday with a spitballer as it kept cancelling out a die due to not having the remove resistance weapon upgrade.

Also, in the 13 games I've played so far (I only got it last Wednesday) I haven't pulled an oppressor card yet

[royal nacelle]

Freeze gives double damage, and depending on your weapon choices you can put out a lot of damage. Especially after finding upgrades (extra die, or double damage, not even necessarily the remove resistances one).

I often run GK2 as scout, so that can give you 2 blue dice, once upgraded I've often ended up with extra blue and red dice, or double damage, then either go after driller who's frozen it, or I also sometimes run Bulldog Revolver, upgrade that and you got freeze on scout. Freeze first action, shoot second.

Or flare first, then freeze, and shoot xD

[tardy merlin]

True, I've just been unlucky with picking up the upgrades. And I haven't got a frozen weapon as I've played as the scout and the driller gunner so far. Could try the driller with the cryo cannon
Edit: I meant gunner not driller xD

[royal nacelle]

well, anyone can pick the Bulldog Revolver, and Driller can run the Cryo Cannon 🙂

[tardy merlin]

Ooo, I usually use the M1000. Will try that next game!

[royal nacelle]

Cryo Cannon is a bit OP since you can free action freeze.

[tardy merlin]

Ah, I don't want to make the game too easy xD

But thanks for the tips! I'm still learning what works.

[royal nacelle]

Yup, gearing up to easily defeat strong enemies has its downsides, you might not draw any of the big enemies and instead get heaps of smaller ones, then the Bulldog Revolver isn't all that great, and Cryo Cannon is less powerful as well (but still great crowd control with free action freeze)

[waxen geyser]

Is the Coil Gun in this game, and is it really strong like in the main game and Survivors?

[royal nacelle]

It's in one of the expansions yes (Biome, I'm pretty sure). It's not really strong, but it doesn't require line of sight and shoots through walls and can hit multiple enemies, once you upgrade it it can do some serious damage (but already when overclocked it's pretty good)

[waxen geyser]

Are any of the weapons particularly overpowered?

[royal nacelle]

Wouldn't say so, they have their different use cases.

[ornate dock]

Maybe the grenade launcher is pretty damn good

Not op but just at that line

[ashen oar]

"The days of “DRG has no merch” are over. "

somebody needs to show aaron this channel

or whoever wrote that announcement o. o

[wispy cairn]

Ah damn, sorry to hear that. I'm guessing my Space Rig order has been cancelled too then, I'll contact them and find out but it definitely wasn't showing as out of stock in the UK for me either (and still isn't).

If you have Tabletop Simulator on Steam, the DRG mod has all expansions and works pretty well, to keep you ticking along in the meantime.

Thanks for taking the time to message here, if they have cancelled my order I would have had no idea as I've received nothing except the order confirmation on the 3rd haha. You may have saved me from missing out, I'm tempted to just go ahead and order Space Rig direct from Mood like you did

[tardy merlin]

It's all good. I just got to wait before Biome comes back in stock. Yes, I'd say it's best to get in touch with them via their support email because, for me, I would not have known about the cancellation otherwise. I know right! I wish they were clearer about where they were sold out.

Thanks for this suggestion. I haven't got TTS yet but I might purchase it as it's only £16.75 currently on Steam. Plus, I could get an idea of what the Biome expansion includes and replicate it with 3D printing the STL models (a close friend told me they could do this), get some wood or cardboard to draw the biome cave segment tiles , and also use BGG to download the rulebook as a temporary measure to get the full DRG board game experience (thanks again @royal nacelle for the tips)!

[tardy merlin]

No problem at all! I've seen how great and helpful the communities are with the DRG board game (and the video game too), so, thought I might return the favour :) I would wait untill you've heard back from BackerKit (they responded in a couple of days) before buying from MOOD, just in case so you don't buy it twice xD Hope you get Space Rig soon!

Rock 'n Stone, miner!

[royal nacelle]

You could make your own cave tiles, yeah, or you could make just the different biome miniatures / effects. I made my own lava flow tiles to play Magma Core. Felt like it gave enough biome feel as such even without reproducing the entire cave tiles. Even just some coloured cardboard could work well too

[wispy cairn]

Good plan, there'll be a Steam Autumn sale coming up soon where you should be able to grab TTS at 50-75% off if you're trying to save a bit of money after splashing out on DRG haha. This is the workshop file you'll need: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2750642580 - it currently has everything except the mixed mission book (8 space rig missions using pieces from biomes, BGG only has mission 2 right now)

[remote sparrow]

How does one buy this game?

[royal nacelle]

https://drg-expansions.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
https://moodpublishing.com/collections/deep-rock-galactic

Depending on your location you may find it at local stores as well, google search would be best for that.

[dawn ibex]

The moment we knew we’d lost the game… but at least we killed the korlok 🤣

[royal nacelle]

oof size: Large

[dawn ibex]

Second try was better. Pro tip: don’t start the dreadnought fight until most of the map is cleared of other bugs 😂😂😂

This guy is brutal with only 2 dwarves

[royal nacelle]

Once a Dwarf is down and there's enough enemies between you and them it'll be rough, yeah. I've had a few games like that, just getting the Dwarf up takes half the swarm threat progress. Counter moves really fast if someone's down.

[dawn ibex]

After we killed it we just dug our way out, took ages 🤣

Which is often what we do in the video game, I love how well this captures those moments

[royal nacelle]

Elimination has created some of my most memorable runs.

[dawn ibex]

Absolutely. I have learned a lot from them., Tip 1: clear most bugs off the map first. Tip 2: have lots of extra health laying around. Dreadnought does insane damage

Especially with only 2. With 4 its easier to spread the damage around

[copper sorrel]

I love how colorful and vivid are your minis.

[dawn ibex]

Thank you so much. I find it enhances the experience 1000x

I do not like so many grey blobs everywhere, hard to tell what is what

[copper sorrel]

It does yeah!

[fluid geode]

Hi all - did anyone order any of the expansions from drg-expansions.backerkit.com around the October timeframe? Is there additional fulfillment for the Goo From Above box coming?

[signal lodge]

So uuuhhhh would anyone believe me if I said we won this mission?

Because you'd be wrong, we lost all three ways we could pretty much as the same time (That's a bulk detonator and an oppressor next to me, I'm hooked by a stingtail so I can't move, and also stunned by the oppressor so only 1 action. Oh and both the gunner and driller are unconscious)

[ornate compass]

This gem of a secondary

[wispy cairn]

Heard back from Backerkit, my order was indeed cancelled haha, thanks again for the heads up brother 🫡

[royal nacelle]

I would've believed it, depending a bit on who's turn it was and who was next. And what stage of the mission you were in. The drop pod being present indicates that you were done, but I'm guessing you forgot to flip it over.

If it was Scout's turn (even with just one action) and Gunner was next I would've gotten them up, and hope for a non-activation event card. They could've gotten to Driller, or dropped a shield (if they had one) and done some shooting.

But yeah, rough spot to be in.

[signal lodge]

Yeeeaaa funny about that, something I forgot to mention was we had the modifier where even if the vent card doesn't activate creatures, they activate anyways (which feels a bit too brokenly strong imo)

[royal nacelle]

Yeah I actually thought you might have mutators. You guys were very spread out though, especially on Escort it's good to stick together (and be near the Drilldozer). Dwarves going down is serious enough in itself, but once you're spread out it can quickly escalate things

[signal lodge]

True, and we did try to stick together, but Stingtails kept spawning and pulling us in different directions

[royal nacelle]

Stingtail is my favourite enemy specifically due to that xD

[idle apex]

Are the expansion tokens plastic? If I recall correctly, plastic tokens for the base game was an optional upgrade which I did get; but I didn't see that as an option for the expansions.

[royal nacelle]

There are optional plastic tokens for the expansions as well

[idle apex]

Do you have a link? I ordered from https://moodpublishing.com/collections/deep-rock-galactic and all I see are plastic tokens for the base game

[royal nacelle]

https://drg-expansions.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders/571912

[idle apex]

Oh, damn, should've checked backerkit I guess. Are there missions that mix the tokens? Worried it might impact gameplay using both kinds; e.g., having an idea what a hidden objective token is depending on if it's plastic or not

[royal nacelle]

The tokens are a replacement

So no, no mixing of plastic and cardboard

[idle apex]

I mean missions that use both the base-game tokens (plastic) and the expansion tokens (cardboard)

maybe the answer is the same and I'm just double checking I understand

[royal nacelle]

Nearly all missions use base game and expansion tokens, if you're playing the expansions. Exploration tokens are different between them though.

[idle apex]

Okay, thanks!

[ornate compass]

This is the best boardgame

[tacit yew]

[lime jungle]

It's one of the board games of all time

[ornate compass]

Im not normally a boardgame lover

[quiet sonnet]

Could I get a quick rundown of what the different products are? I looked around on the website and the pins already. The deluxe edition kind of suggests that it comes with everything, but then the goo bomber add-on is suggested with it, so I'm not sure if that's included or not

[royal nacelle]

Deluxe edition just means it has miniatures, compared to the standard edition having cardboard standees.

Goo from Above is an expansion, with extra miniatures. Isn't included in any of the base game editions.

Spacerig expansion adds a few mission types, and miniatures for them. And an assignment 'campaign' with upgrades and mutators, beers and challenges.

Biome expansion adds biome specific cave tiles and hazards, and some new creatures and missions.

Bulk Detonator is an expansion as well, adds.. you guessed it, the bulk detonator. Korlok adds a new hidden cave tile that spawns the different korlok parts.

[quiet sonnet]

Oh okay, so the content between the Deluxe and Standard editions are the same?

[royal nacelle]

Other than miniatures, yes.

All the expansions have miniatures, rather than cardboard standees, so if you're going to get any of them and want continuinty I'd recommend getting the deluxe edition.

Else you'd be mixing cardboard standees and miniatures

[quiet sonnet]

I see. I'll take a look through the expansions then, thanks

[royal nacelle]

Or you could get the standard edition and then STL files if you're into 3d printing

[quiet sonnet]

I'm not, but I'm also fine with what comes in the Standard edition

So the Standard/Deluxe edition + the 5 expansions you mentioned would be all of the content?

[royal nacelle]

There's the Mixed Missions Book as well, if you count that as content. It just combines the new spacerig missions with biomes. You can do that yourself of course but the booklet is nice if you don't want the hassle of custom missions.

[ornate compass]

Favourite boardgame

[urban iron]

Is the way of making custom missions as listed in the book of the base game balanced? I want to try making a custom mission

[royal nacelle]

It works well for some mission types, while you'll have to adjust it a bit for others. It's a good starting point for basic layouts at least.

[tardy merlin]

Hey everyone.

I got email confirmation from MOOD about expansions coming back in stock in March 2025.

I know @steady tartan mentioned this earlier, but here is a screenshot of the email for your information:

Also, got Space Rig, the neoprene mat and an extra set of dice today. Looking forward to giving it a whirl later today!

Here is my collection (so far)

Rock and Stone, everyone!

[bright obsidian]

Hey all, quick question. During the space rig deep dive its written that between missions you need to select a new secondary weapon. how does that work with the helmet upgrade that allows you to have an additional secondary weapon? same rules apply? you have to select a new one?

[royal nacelle]

You can't use the same secondary you had the previous mission, so with the helmet upgrade you'd select two secondary weapons, neither being what you used last mission.

[bright obsidian]

A follow up, what about gold and nitra? in the old deep dive you could use it to heal, in the space rig deep dive you cannot use it?

[royal nacelle]

You rearm and heal up between missions in the Spacerig Assignment, so it's moot. Gold isn't used for anything like that in the Assignment.

[bright obsidian]

Where does it say that? in the rule book it says "prepare your character board as normal", does it mean to heal to full and rearm?

[royal nacelle]

Yes. It's not a deep dive, but separate missions, you return to the spacerig and heal/rearm. You set up the characters as you would for an entirely new game, except with limitations like not using the same secondary and whatnot. You discard old R&S cards and throwables, and draw new ones.

[bright obsidian]

I am one surprised dwarf, thanks for the info!

[royal nacelle]

Glad to help

[urban iron]

very nice!

[tardy merlin]

We're setup and ready to go!

*Obligatory slapping of the dice*

Drop sequence initiating! Fasten your seatbelts!

For Karl!

[dawn ibex]

Good call with the extra dice. It’s really nice to have another set

How did the game go?

[tardy merlin]

I agree about the extra dice. It's so much better!

We won and I sacrificed myself during the game because there were many enemies as the "Creature Pile Up" card was drawn and there were two exploders adjacent to me. Luckily enough, though, the other player was able to revive me (and thankfully, this happened before we started refining) and we got the liquid riches all right! It was indeed sandwich time when we got back!

[dawn ibex]

Final swarm after refining didn’t spawn much??

Glad you had fun. It’s quickly becoming my most played game

[tardy merlin]

Well, the moment we activated the minehead to take the Morkite, we only had one swarm as we were pretty late building the pipes (because I kept rolling terribly for the mining/mineral die, meaning very little resources) and I also accidentally drilled a stalagmite (as I was the driller ofc)

But yeah, so much fun! That was certainly the best mission I've tried (also by far the longest xD)

[dawn ibex]

Oh I see. I believe once you finish refining it triggers an additional swarm

That what I was asking about

[tardy merlin]

Oh, yeah, I think it was the exploder swarm at the end, then the slasher one on the event tracker.

[dawn ibex]

Nice. We missed that rule ourselves so was curious

Usually the board looks very scary by the time we get to the drop pod 🥲

[tardy merlin]

We're still new to the game so we've not been doing the spawn a swarm near the drop pod variant or anything like that. Still on Haz 1 xD

[dawn ibex]

I’ve played 30 times and we still usually play on Haz 1 😅

And still lose to the dreadnought with 2

[tardy merlin]

Aha. Yeah, I haven't fought a Dreadnought yet as I haven't got biome yet but should get it in March!

I had fallen to a Korlok when I played solo. That was brutal xD

[dawn ibex]

I don’t mess with those unless we have loads of time. It’s almost not worth it

[dawn ibex]

They need to make a mission where the Korlok is the goal, otherwise it’s easier to just skip it…

[royal nacelle]

Mission 6 from the base game would suit well to swap the Preatorian cave for a Korlok cave. I also once encountered the Korlok on Mission 4, in the left hidden cave, was interesting since it puts you between the tunnel exits, cramped inbetween some pits as well.

Would work with any mission where a hidden cave is kinda off on the other side of the map from the drop pod, like Mission 14. Also 11 maybe, make the middle hidden cave the Korlok.

And I mean exchange the mission's main objective for killing the Korlok. Any mission with morkite has the morkite removed.

[hexed totem]

Hey folks. Was wondering as a Canadian. Where is the best place to buy the board game?

[royal nacelle]

The only official source right now is here (and only the Standard edition - without miniatures): https://moodpublishing.com/products/deep-rock-galactic-base-game-standard-2nd-edition

MOOD have mentioned that they're looking to restock in March.

Otherwise you'd have to look at local/online retailers, googling wildly or going to game stores basically.

[languid relic]

Alright, anyone here have good ideas for transporting the game (expansions included) around easily. I've been taking the game to many places to play and it is a constant hassle

I have yet to come up with anything better than a giant pelican case with custom foam inserts... which would be very expensive

[lethal abyss]

Y can you pre order the game I thought it already released (I only Discovered it exists yesterday)

Also what’s with the “additions”???

Also where should I buy it from

[subtle socket]

Pins

[lethal abyss]

?

Is there any stuff that isn’t being sold any more?

[royal nacelle]

Backerkit's page says preorder because they can't change the page after the Kickstarter campaign. It not only released, but it's practically sold out everywhere.

Scroll up a bit and you'll find some links.

[royal nacelle]

#drg-board-game message

[lethal abyss]

Thank you

[tardy merlin]

The Korlok appeared on Mission 6 for me on the hidden cave just before the Praetorian. And I was on my own (I forgot to use BOSCO, so, I was true solo xD)

I tried to go mine the other way on the other hidden cave (that was adjacent to it) but, as I was the scout and I rolled pretty poorly with the pickaxe die, it didn't end well xD Good fun either way :D

[hard gulch]

Hey guys I am planing to buy a board game and I was wondering if there are any major differences(like scenarios, overclocs etc.) between deluxe edition and standard edition besides the figures in deluxe edition. Also when i was looking in the shops for it everywhere I have seen 2nd sign and I don't really know what that means. Could somoene explain it to me? I would be really gratefull.

[tardy merlin]

Regarding differences between 1st and 2nd editions: #drg-board-game message

[tardy merlin]

And this is regarding the differences between the deluxe/standard and the expansions: #drg-board-game message

I hope they answer your questions @hard gulch :)

[hard gulch]

Thank you very much for help.

[dawn ibex]

I just stuffed it in a miniature markets game bag that cost me about 35 bucks. All boxes fit in perfectly, granted you still have to unboxed a ton of stuff

[tardy merlin]

If you look around, you might be able to find inserts that can fit into the deluxe edition box (including expansions) although the ones I've seen are quite expensive, like this: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1785284022/deep-rock-galactic-fully-3d-printed?click_key=36ad74278ebf74e750012fd9f07137ad8a78ff48%3A1785284022&click_sum=fee9a33d&ref=internal_similar_listing_bot-2&listing_id=1785284022&listing_slug=deep-rock-galactic-fully-3d-printed

Edit: added "(including expansions)"

So, probably not what you're looking for xD but just putting it there just in case others are interested

[lime jungle]

I got this board game backpack that just about fits everything. Front pocket has a binder with all the manuals inside

the klorok and goo expansions are sitting behind the bulk and custom dice box

[languid relic]

Damn that fits perfectly

[tardy merlin]

This bag looks perfect! Do you know where this can be purchased? I had a look at their website and it looks like it's in Australia but there is no mention of it shipping internationally.

[lime jungle]

I was very lucky and it was very satisfying packing it the first time and finding out how snug of a pack it is

[lime jungle]

Yeah I bought it in a board game shop in aus. I'm not sure if you can get it shipped internationally

I had a look and there are some other bags that look very similar to LPG's and are available in other countries

I'd say as long it has the same internal dimensions it'll work fine

[tardy merlin]

Would that be 30 X 30 x 50 (in cm)?

[tardy merlin]

That's what it says on the website

[lime jungle]

Yes. Even though the boxes are about 31cm, it has a bit of play and will fit more uniform

[tardy merlin]

Thank you for the info on that, really appreciated fellow dwarf

[lime jungle]

The measurements on the LPG site are only rough anyways

[tardy merlin]

Good to know

[tame tapir]

Thanks for the link. They also have stl files that you can buy if you have a 3D printer....

[tardy merlin]

Yeah, thank you for saying this - I was going to put that link in too, but then I forgot and also didn't want to spam the channel xD

[tardy merlin]

This is also way cheaper than buying the actual inserts as well.

[lime forge]

does anyone know the exact size of the hexagons for the game tiles by chance?

[royal nacelle]

34.75mm flat to flat side.

[spiral belfry]

Just finished my first assignment using the space rig and biome expansions

I had the last mission set up for weeks, dreading an aquarq mission with hungry grunts and lethal enemies modifiers

But I managed to get it all done before the third swarm appeared

[peak hazel]

Late to the party but finished the first dwarf today, rock and stone brothers

[royal nacelle]

Nice, liking the muted colours. Welcome to the party!

[peak hazel]

Thanks man

[lethal abyss]

I’ve tried to research this, but what does the deluxe version come with? What’s different than the base version. I’ve googled it. I’ve checked the website and I can’t figure it out. What is different?

[royal nacelle]

Deluxe edition has miniatures.

[lethal abyss]

No expansions?

[royal nacelle]

Nope

[lethal abyss]

Ok thank you

Holy moly
432 usd!!!

For all expansions and deluxe

[royal nacelle]

+shipping +taxes (if applicable)

[lethal abyss]

…

I’m going to have a stroke

[lethal abyss]

I Expect to see the Warhammer collection in off-topic soon

[peak hazel]

I mean I could, but should I?

[lethal abyss]

Off topic is for off topic

[peak hazel]

fair enough

[spiral ledge]

First mission with expansions, playing with a friend. We got maximum tunnels possible :)

[tardy merlin]

Check back on this in a few days. If you lose access to the final review page, it's likely it would have been cancelled - I should know, my order got cancelled 3 times - as they are very low on stock atm at BackerKit but they will hopefully be restocking in March.
But hope you get them though!

[granite finch]

Hey, guys. Which of the expansions are out of kickstarter?

[royal nacelle]

What do you mean "out of" ?

[granite finch]

As in fully released and purchasable

[tardy merlin]

They have all been released.
Mini Expansions:
Goo from Above
Korlok Tyrant-Weed
Bulk Detonator

Major Expansions:
Space Rig
Biome

But stock is low, so, get then while you can. But they will possibly be restocked in March

[granite finch]

ok thanks

[steady tartan]

Hi guys - Since we bought some new games at a game convention and I want to sleeve everything, I wanted to ask which company you use for sleeving everything you have

[lethal abyss]

Can the game/expansion be bought from stores in the US?

[royal nacelle]

Maybe. It was mainly a Kickstarter exclusive where retailers could order copies to be made. You'd have to find a retailer that has stocked copies.

[lime jungle]

I use either Ultimate Guard or Dragon Shield for most of my cards because they're available in almost every game store near me and they're quite reputable companies

Any smaller or uniquely sized/shaped cards I just get whatever

[tight chasm]

What’s that new creature that comes with biome expansion(I think that’s the one) that isn’t in drg

[crisp echo]

The Rammer

[scarlet narwhal]

its called the Glyphid Rammer

[spiral ledge]

Managed to survive one hell of an escort

Mostly

[royal nacelle]

Plenty of time left on the swarm threat track to go get gunner 😉

[spiral ledge]

Gunner player dropped out of the game towards the end for private reasons, so the rest of us collectively sent him on a suicide mission

[royal nacelle]

ah fair enough

[tardy merlin]

In contrast, we failed our escort duty.

Third assignment mission, 2 creature die for grunt warning.

Doretta fell to 4 grunts as I couldn't see the grunts on the board and the slasher was dealing damage last time (the Drilldoser had 4 health before the activation). And we were almost finished with it as well as it was the last Ommoron event card! That was rough as we were avoiding the Korlok as well xD

[royal nacelle]

Um.. are you houseruling that creatures can share spaces?

Either way, you guys also had IFG, LURE, corrosive bomb, grenade launcher... line of sight shouldn't have been an issue.

[spiral ledge]

In the biome expansion, is that top glowing rock supposed to stick out a bit?

I can't figure out a better way to put it in, but it's just slightly above the insert level

And I have a similar issue with the bottom shellback, one leg is just barely sticking out a bit

I tried all sorts of ways to wiggle them into a better place, but I just can't find anything lol

[royal nacelle]

Mine are fine. Both shellbacks and glowing rocks are in the same orientation. You could check to see if there's a deformation on yours, and heat them with hot water to adjust them, like bending the leg in and same with whichever rock part is sticking out

[spiral ledge]

No deformation to see anywhere

And it's really not sticking out in any "noticeable" way

It's just that little bit of rock on the top one, no more than a millimeter

And the foot of the shellback is in similar position

[royal nacelle]

um

probably because you got them in the wrong slots then

[spiral ledge]

I tried to switch them up already

They are the same

[spiral ledge]

AHHHH

Yes

I'm a dummy

Thank you

[royal nacelle]

Mystery solved xD

[spiral ledge]

The fact that they fit "almost" perfectly is what had me confused 😄

[royal nacelle]

Yeah even with knowing what slot stuff goes into there's sometimes some wigglin' needed to get them seated properly.

Easy enough mistake to make with similar slots

[errant maple]

Will houseruling that Bulk Detonators spawn under this condition that when the swarm meter causes a swarm, you roll the creature die and if it shows the empty slot (1/6), the Bulk is spawned cause the hordes to become too hard? I want to reflect the randomness of it spawning during the worst time imaginable

[tardy merlin]

Yes as that makes it tougher imo

[tardy merlin]

Ooo, I thought the Drilldoser blocks line of sight, therefore, I thought throwables couldn't be thrown?

[royal nacelle]

Throwables ignore line of sight as per the rules.

Or rather they can be thrown over things that block line of sight (but not walls)

[tardy merlin]

Oh, I must have missed that. Thanks for letting me know that

[royal nacelle]

Not only tougher but it circumvents a lot of rules. You do you though. It does make certain weapons far more powerful.

[tardy merlin]

True, with explosive and flame weapons as they're AoE. But with bullet and armour piercing weapons, I treat that as one hit per enemy, trying to balance them out

[royal nacelle]

Strictly speaking AoE weapons are AoE, doesn't matter their damage type, and same way around, explosive and flame damage isn't AoE just by default.

It's your houserules though so if you wanna play it that way, have at it.

[tardy merlin]

I got confused with the rules to be fair 😂 I'm trying to stick to it as much as I can but it's hard to follow. Like with the creatures sharing spaces, I wasn't sure where it's specified in the rules that they had to be on one space each? Also, when spawning multiple enemies from multiple exits, it's hard to get the enemies to move, especially when the exits are near dark pits

[tardy merlin]

Oh, that's fair. I'm still learning

[royal nacelle]

I'd have to check but pretty sure it's in the movement rules that you can't share spaces. As for spawning they don't have to move to spawn, they spawn at a distance if necessary, and then move.

Ah it's in the activation events rules now. "Creatures must end their move on an empty space, which also includes tunnel exits and deep pits"

[tardy merlin]

Ah, that's good to know. Thanks again for clarifying :)

[royal nacelle]

Spawning Events should have an example image and description on page 23

[tardy merlin]

Yes, I found it. Will do that from now on.

As in one space per creature.

[lime jungle]

You're not alone. I fell victim to the exact issue first time packing up

[marble wren]

figured I'd ask here - does anyone know if the lederhosen armor's beer mug asset has been separated and placed in a shared area?

[royal nacelle]

Certainly hasn't in the board game.

[marble wren]

yeah i know you've ripped a lot of stuff for the board game

just figured i'd ask, guess i need to start isolating it out of the armor haha so many verticies to delete

[royal nacelle]

In blender just hit L

And then P, to separate

[marble wren]

holy crap you're fast

[royal nacelle]

🤷‍♂️

[marble wren]

i just got the lederhosen armor isolated

[royal nacelle]

You'll have to hit L on the different studs, handle, and flowers. Then separate

[marble wren]

yeah im not the brightest in blender i think i need to get into edit mode first before hitting L

[royal nacelle]

well that too

L is linked vertices selection, so yeah you have to be in edit mode for that

[marble wren]

think i got it

now to figure out how to break it up to print it for the cosplay

thanks as always @royal nacelle

[coral turtle]

johnno the goat

[rancid night]

Got the Deluxe 2nd edition a couple days ago

Already have played 4 rounds of it

It’s amazing

[bronze totem]

I've got a problem with the STL data.
I didn't receive any mail with a link, so I asked for another... so I send my backer number but no answer yet 😭

[royal nacelle]

Might take them a bit to reply.

[bronze totem]

one week from now 😦

[royal nacelle]

Yup

Could check your spam folder too if you haven't already, some people received their emails but got sent to spam.

[bronze totem]

already checked, just asked to send me the same as before

[royal nacelle]

welps, give it a week or two

[tidal matrix]

Today i noticed something, the back of the hidden cave segment from the tyrant weed expansion has a different color than the other hidden cave segments so i can always recognise it, kinda sad tbh

[royal nacelle]

You can deploy it by a dice roll whenever you flip a hidden cave, or by designating one of the original tiles to count as the Korlok and swap it in when that tile is revealed (I myself use the 3 grunts one).

[tidal matrix]

I see, thats a good method thank you

[royal nacelle]

And to be clear, MOOD are aware of the issue and have been looking at that and the 2nd edition cards as well, and have said they'll make an update about it at some point. Not sure what if anything they can do, they collected user opinions/wishes for a bit to see how prevalent the issue was.

[dawn ibex]

We just shuffle all the cave tiles without looking and then draw off the top and place them, once they are in place you cant really notice, its only noticeable when in the stack with the other tiles, at least in my experience

[lime jungle]

This ☝️ Also having a few oily oafs makes it less noticeable

[wispy cairn]

Not sure what happened here, I only ordered 1 haha

[tardy merlin]

I'm glad you got Space Rig (even though you got double 😂)

[wispy cairn]

Shame they didn't accidentally send me biomes, I could have sent it on to you

[tardy merlin]

Oh well xD I'm happy to wait though. Space rig is certainly entertaining me enough rn. Hope you'll enjoy it as well!

[wispy cairn]

Ah good to hear, I'm not supposed to open mine yet as it's a christmas present haha

[tardy merlin]

Oh, I see haha. Well, it'll be worth the wait. Trust me 😄

[wispy cairn]

It seems to be an error with the fulfillment company, I've emailed to ask what they want to do. The first copy arrived at the weekend, the second one just now. They sent me a second dispatch email yesterday and I thought it was just the same email again, but apparently not

[tardy merlin]

Oh. Hopefully they didn't charge you twice?

[wispy cairn]

Nope, for a second I was worried that maybe my backerkit order hadn't been cancelled like they said, but it's the same MOOD reference for both deliveries, the same as what's in my confirmation email from MOOD when I ordered direct from them

[tardy merlin]

That's good then. Hope you can get it resolved soon!

[steady tartan]

If it's leftover and you need to get rid of it, I will sacrifice myself and take it cough

[wispy cairn]

Are you in the UK? I'm guessing if they back to me, they'll probably want the duplicate shipment back, but if not we could arrange something

[steady tartan]

Ah sadly not - I'm from Germany ^^

[bitter hinge]

one to paint and one to eat

[lime jungle]

You can set up a double doretta mission

[rancid night]

Sell the dupe and buy the biome expansion

No brainer

[wispy cairn]

They've said they want it back

Who knows, maybe I'll get something for my honesty, I don't think they even realised

[royal nacelle]

Small operation so might not be able to afford (time/effortwise) the checks and balances. Also tricky when the stores are split, and there's multiple warehouses/fulfilment centers.

[wispy cairn]

Yeah, I'd rather no one gets in trouble for it too, if it's returned there's no harm done really

[royal nacelle]

I'm sure cosmic karma will smile upon you sooner or later.

[wispy cairn]

Maybe my next mission will have none of my attack dice miss, that'd be nice

[errant maple]

Monkey's Paw: attack dice for creatures will never miss

[dawn ibex]

Good on you for letting them know. I’ve gotten duplicates before from Amazon and told them and they say to keep it. But MOOD is such a small company so you’re probably doing them a big favor

[raw girder]

Sludge pump seems kinda cheeks in the BG

Am I missing something

[royal nacelle]

Depends, how are you using it? Sludge puddles (secondary fire) don't have to be adjacent to eachother, and do 2 damage ignoring resistances to a creature stepping on them. So that hits hard on a lot of creatures. Primary fire ignores resistances on the initial flame die, and on the bonus 2 damage afterwards, so that's quite powerful too.

You could beef it up with additional attack dice and whatnot, but it's more of a solid low (but definitive) damage dealer instead of a massive potential damage per hit like flamethrower, or crowd control/damage bonus like cryo cannon.

It does take some getting used to setting up the sludge pools, and sometimes creatures end up bypassing them (unless very narrow tunnels), but I've enjoyed it. Pop a sludge on a tunnel exit and next to it, next thing that spawns is going pop unless it's flying or health 3+

[peak hazel]

2nd dwraf done, 2 more to go. Might go over this one in some places again tho.

[royal nacelle]

Not sure I could call out anything that needs a second pass, other than the base's hard edges look like the paint has rubbed off? I've seen plenty like that, maybe it's a preference. Looks good to me though.

Especially the contrasting colours on the rifle. Well done

[peak hazel]

thx man, the stuff that irritates me are: the cable(?) that runs along the barrel might need a different color to stand out more

and the sole on the boots could be darker, like the ones on the engi

[royal nacelle]

aha but you used gunmetal on it. Sure, it could be a bright colour perhaps

or a different metal than the ones you've used

or is it black?

Hard to tell. Sure, a bright colour coulr work, but also, I thought it looked fine. Didn't even spot it to comment on haha

[peak hazel]

I mean its on the opposite side in the weapon icon but its shown as greenish

[peak hazel]

right now it´s dark brown like the handguard

but I guess one always finds bits of doubt in their work

[royal nacelle]

Think it shows greenish cause of the greenish surroundings. Could be gold maybe. Or yellow.

[peak hazel]

fair enough

[royal nacelle]

I .. uh... 2 years later haven't painted my scout yet.

I made a different M1000 scout, did paint it brass though

[peak hazel]

that bayonet is a really nice touch ngl, reminds me of the french revolution painting with the pose

now that i see it i doubt it beeing not intentioneel

[royal nacelle]

Ya think? 😄 😄

[peak hazel]

https://tenor.com/view/hmm-interesting-intrigued-curious-thinking-gif-8065719971509630412

[royal nacelle]

The hours... hoooours I spent on her dress. Each fold, getting the top correct...

[peak hazel]

thats dedication

it did pay off I say

[royal nacelle]

Thank you, oh so kindly. Appreciate the compliment.

[peak hazel]

honor where honor is due

[waxen hazel]

I’m going to be dead honest. I thought your scout in the image before this was wearing a medical apron with the scrubs hat. Then I saw this. I am very well amazed by the art skills.

[royal nacelle]

Kinda funny since I did use the medical gown from DRG xD

[proven slate]

In regards to the ‘!’ effect on the enemy dice, is it in addition to the damage normally dealt or is it a seperate effect?

[tacit yew]

separate effect

different for each creature

[proven slate]

So, for example if a web spitter scores the special effect it doesn’t do its damage and I get webbed or it does damage AND I get webbed.

Is what I mean

[tacit yew]

the web spitter rolls 2 dice

if one of them is a bite symbol and the other one is a ! then you will take 1 damage and be webbed

if both are bite symbols, then you take 2 damage

[proven slate]

Ok
So the special effect doesn't have damage along with it.
I think I understand now
Many thanks

[tacit yew]

[proven slate]

[royal nacelle]

Does for some creatures, you'll have to check the cards/datasheet/rulebook.

[errant maple]

How bad would it be if it always also dealt 1 damage?

[tacit yew]

pretty bad

isnt there a modifier for that?

[errant maple]

space rig might have lethal enemies do that though idk

[lime jungle]

If you play h5 Grunts deal damage on '!'. Space Rig expansion includes other ways enemies can deal more damage

[lime jungle]

Broods spawning grunts and dealing damage by looking scary

[tacit yew]

lol

[errant maple]

Well, they have R0, right?

So they cannot perform a damaging action this way

[gentle cedar]

Can they make the board game models 3D printable please

[royal nacelle]

They are. You can buy the STL files.

[gentle cedar]

Okay I didn't know thank you

[lime jungle]

They use telepathy

Eldritch horror lookin

[cinder roost]

Where can I purchase the board game

[tepid summit]

https://moodpublishing.com/products/deep-rock-galactic-base-game-standard-2nd-edition

[lime jungle]

You can now preorder a copy of DRG through the Valheim Board Game pledge

[tardy merlin]

And also get the expansion bundle if you already have the base game (or go all-in if you haven't got anything yet) You'll receive it when Valheim ships (in October 2025 estimated) as they are still out of stock atm.

[leaden haven]

YOOOO

[coarse flint]

Me and my friends did our first run through of the board game
Someone got greedy for a ? And almost made us run out of time on the swarm meter

[errant maple]

You wouldn't be a dwarf if you didn't loot everything from a damn bug-infested cave!

[gray pike]

Hello,
I was wondering if it’s possible to get the STL files for the base game as well. I had purchased everything for the board game at one point, but I only received the STL files for the expansions.

[royal nacelle]

email [e-mail]

[outer hatch]

@gray pike I missed the DRG boardgame kickstarter and such. But I went throught and wanted to purchase ALL the stuff from national online ans store retailers. I got my hands on the hefty BIG 2nd edition with alot of minis. But I got baffled... WHY in the widest are the Goo Bombers UK exclusive??? Timed I hope. Becasue I bet alot of folks world around would love to buy

[royal nacelle]

Goo from Above has never been UK exclusive. It has just sold out everywhere else faster than in the UK. And due to the separate warehouses UK ended up being the ones that had them in stock last.

[outer hatch]

Wha?? It looked like it. I fear it was a trend starting to get ground like with Archon and their Heroes of Might and Magic board game additions. A relief to hear! Well, hope someday my norwegian online.. partly physical stores ( Gamezone and Outland etc ) will get all them extras. I understand it will take time to ramp up production and sate our appetite for space bugs and dwarfs. Cheers!

[royal nacelle]

There's no ramping of production. They're looking at restocking while making copies of Valheim, sometime next year, there's been talk of a potential restock in March, otherwise probably later in the year. But make no mistake, there is no ongoing production. At best they'll have more copies made during other campaigns, like with Valheim, or if they make more expansions.

Vast majority of retailers haven't stocked any of the expansions, or even the deluxe version.

If push comes to shove though you can buy the STL files, have the miniatures printed, and then grab the rules off Board Game Geek.

[outer hatch]

Hmm. I see, well its how you operate. I hoped if there was a demand, you would just produce when needed and theres profit. I was extremely lucky to get that one big deluxe version, oh my... Well gotta brace and settle with what have and getting of restock if any later on. I have no space, time or resources for a 3d printer. But nice to have such an option. Thanks for the answers anyway 🙂

[scarlet narwhal]

in this scenario you might also want to create custom tokens for the goo bomber's goo, probably by 3d printing it too or with cardboard

You can outsource the printing

[royal nacelle]

You can usually buy those types of tokens at a game store. But yeah easy enough to print too

[outer hatch]

Good to hear

[grim goblet]

WAIT THEY'RE MAKING A BOARD GAME?

[royal nacelle]

No, they made it 3 years ago

[grim goblet]

Ah yes there it is. I don't know why my first search whiffed

[peak hazel]

Dunno if it helps, but I managed to get it all when Mood Publishing had a stand at the Spiel convention in Germany this year, so here's to hope they will have one at a norwegian convention also.

[heady sinew]

GODDAMNIT.

I missed it.

[tacit yew]

i think its quite annoying that one of the mini hidden caves has a weapon upgrade instead of a green pickup token

why cant they all be the same

now i cant place a green token on top of the hidden mini caves because it might just be a weapon upgrade

[scarlet narwhal]

I guess after map setup is done, put all the green pickups into the shuffle bag?

[waxen hazel]

Challenge Accepted

[warm zealot]

just found out drg has a board game

bought all of the sets

[heady sinew]

IT'S NOT EVEN BEEN A DAY.

[keen hamlet]

it use to be we couldn't go a day...we had a good run

[waxen hazel]

Damn, beat me at my own challenge

[errant maple]

Got the game and played 2 games solo, driller/gunner
1st went well, even with an oppressor.
The 2nd... It is the experienced egg collection with 3 interconnected caves. And let's say that an oppressor spawn, praetoeian cave, spitballer/mactera cave and a horrible placement of the 4th egg behind everything.... Didnt exactly help me win. It helped me die (but if driller didnt take that 1 Damage from the slasher.. i would win...)

Very fun game though

Amazing, even

[royal nacelle]

Yup mission #3 at times ramps up the difficulty a lot.

[errant maple]

It was absolutely insane

After my driller failed to secure the last egg when the gunner was about to enter the drop pod.... He didnt mine it, and thus my gunner had to resupply and run all the way back... Killing like 6 enemies with one salvo (including a warden swarm...)

Then die gloriously after being hit by every single thing

[errant maple]

Dang
Failed a second time
If this is mission 3 i am probably cooked though a 1st swarm pileup being a warden and oppressor doesnt help

[keen hamlet]

Random nature of the cards does feel like the game sometimes, you could be having a smooth time one mission and hell the next on the same difficulty

[errant maple]

But I'll be damned if it isn't fun tbh

It isn't a rage moment more like "goddamnit" moment where you actually try to figure out the situation

It isn't only a dice roll that decides

[warm zealot]

gonna make the crassus bulk det in the board gamre

its gonna do about what you think it does

[peak hazel]

First game and the lootbug card times out our mission. Thats gonna be some retrebution from all the killed bugs in the videogame

[royal nacelle]

Karma!

Could also play the alternative rules of drawing swarm cards instead of event cards on the last space of the swarm threat track

Might've made a difference as you were close to getting to the drop pod

[peak hazel]

Yeah wanted to play "vanillia" first. Could have made it myself, engi, but wanted to revive friend first

[royal nacelle]

Aye, win some, lose some

[warm zealot]

Man i love this board game

[peak hazel]

It was also the only one we failed, mostly, becurse I thought the mission event was always happening after a player turn until we drew the mission event card 4 turns before "lootbugs revenge. The Lootening" after that we did the first 3 in the deep dive back to back and managed to push thro.

Can recomend drinking while doing it after you're more familiar with the rules for imersion

Table looked like this afterwards

[tacit yew]

lol

[spiral belfry]

What do y'all think?

[ocean perch]

Tumors!

Looks good

[errant maple]

That's about as good as you can get without making him ass ugly by being covered in gold paint

What i mean is that he's great

Unless you're a god in NMM...

He's amazing i love him

[warm zealot]

Speaking of lmao

[errant maple]

The crassus has been summoned, it seems

[spiral belfry]

Lol

[ember cobalt]

Excuse me, I have a question about a piece of the boardgame?

I bought the normal game but it doesn't come with the M.U.LE miniature, does anyone know where I can get one? Or at least the files to 3d print one?

[tacit yew]

you can email mood publishing to buy the STL files

[ember cobalt]

Cool, but is it possible to get one already printed? I don't have a 3d printer and I want to see if there's another option before I try 3d printing?

[tacit yew]

you can try to find someone with a 3d printer near you and they can print and ship it to you

i havent done it so im not sure how it works

[ember cobalt]

Ok, I'll try that, thanks

[bitter laurel]

they made a board game???

[oak rover]

Question: I I just drew the "It Nearly Got Me!" event card, meaning I have to place a stalagmite on an empty ground space adjacent to me, but half the spaces are wall, the other half are a pit. I do, however, have a platform on one of the pit tiles, so does that count as a valid ground space, or do I just continue without placing a stalagmite?

[copper sorrel]

Place the stalagmite on your head and carry on with your new cute hat.

[heady sinew]

god-

[errant maple]

Mission 3 bested

By the smallest of margins

Zero ammo, 1 health and on the last action

Gunner had to be left behind...

I'm never playing mission 3 again

I get that praetoeian cave with a walled-off egg one more time....

[royal nacelle]

You'll have a palate cleanser with Mission 4, before having another fun one on 5. 😄

[errant maple]

I'm so lucky i got a stunning upgrade on my flamethrower

Perfect clutch on stunning the Mactera Spawn

The mission is absolutely disgusting with that brood nexus and spitballer

I fear mission 5 now...

[royal nacelle]

I've had mission 3 with Korlok and Praetorian..

[errant maple]

I had the praetoeian cave... First 2 swarms being BOTH THE WARDEN ONES

[royal nacelle]

xD

Yeah I've had stuff like that before

[errant maple]

If i didnt have vantage point i would have rolled an oppressor

[royal nacelle]

I spent buncha turns inside the drop pod on one mission, because I quickly got warden, and then praetorian.

[errant maple]

I found out how ridiculous the plasma charger is though

That fear or guaranteed damage otherwise comes in clutch

I think i might need to change up my strategy from the gunner+driller combo

I think driller+engineer might be a bit better

I heard playing with Bosco is easier but my Bosco is receiving a paintjob from R&D (me)

And also dwarves go and die together

[royal nacelle]

Bosco gives you some extra actions, and you're always activating the same dwarf so can easier get away from enemies and whatnot. I personally prefer 2 or 3 dwarves.

[errant maple]

Less events, though

And more ammo efficiency as well

[royal nacelle]

I've recently randomized which dwarves I play, rather than going with the same combos.

Same with weapons
