[dawn ibex]

Do not do this unless you want your colors to run and the print to start sagging! DO NOT DO THIS! I learned the hard way.

My best advice (and this kind of sucks because its expensive) is use a humidor and some weights. I run a humidor in a small room with the boards layered beneath some heavy bench press weights for about a week and then you stop the humidor and let it sit another 24-48 hours with a fan on it, and it will be straight as an arrow

And this is only something I would recommend in an arid biome, where I am its like 40% or less humidity, probably have different luck in a wetter area closer to the equator

[ornate dock]

Maybe an alternative for ! Could be an effect that would make you take double damage for a turn so the stalker isn’t a condamnation to take 3 damage but he would force you to get really defensive to avoid getting hit by other creatures

[royal nacelle]

I'd be careful with any notion of double damage, you're forgetting that some creatures do 2 (or more) damage, and some warnings have all creatures doing 2 damage (and others doing 3).

[dawn ibex]

I think that might be even more damage than I’d want if things go sideways, plus it’s the stalker that does the damage in the video game so don’t know how thematic that would be. I like the input though!

[upbeat terrace]

Uh oh, I already did it.

[dawn ibex]

💀

[bright summit]

Would you guys n gals prefer first buying the Space Rig expansion or the Biome expansion?

[royal nacelle]

Personally, Biome. New primary weapons, more creatures, new cave tiles, biome hazards, and the dreadnought elimination mission is usually pretty sweaty, so I like the added challenge.

[bright summit]

Awesome.

Had no idea new primary weapons came with it

[royal nacelle]

Yup and some secondaries, and throwables

[lime jungle]

Gee TWO secondaries?

[royal nacelle]

Nope, Revolver and targeting system for the gatling gun

Unless you count the gatling as secondary cause it's shouldermounted xD

[proven raft]

question: the Menace's rule card states that it hides when it takes damage from an attack. Does the damage caused by a dying exploder count? Because it wasn't necessarily from a direct dwarf attack.

[tired pike]

If it doesn’t specify it has to be from a dwarf

[lime jungle]

The creature rules say that if it takes ANY damage from an attack (loses health) it will hide for a short while (until the end of the dwarfs turn)

this will include exploders or anything else that can deal damage to other bugs

[proven raft]

I know that the resupply doesn't block LoS, but does it block movement? I couldn't find any mention about it
I tried searching through the chat history here, and the only good response seemed to conflict itself

[royal nacelle]

It's covered in the movement section, "special miniatures". You're allowed to move through it but not end your movement on it.

[proven raft]

So it works like the sentry in that regard, good to know

[proven raft]

Hopefully one last clarification: the rulebook says "The sentry gun only fires 1 shot per creature per event or swarm phase", so does it trigger for every event or only when the bugs activate?

[steady tartan]

Hi guys, I got a question, altough it not only regards DRG.
How do you handle that when you sleeve games and the game maybe isn't prepared for that? That results in the issue that the cards won't fit into the box anymore.
Do you take the inserts out and thrash them? Keep them?

[lime jungle]

Air can get trapped between the sleeve and the card which can result in it being thicker, especially after double sleeving. It may not be noticeable on a single card, but you can definitely tell when you stack them.

You can try pressing and squeezing the air out as you sleeve them. Leaving a stack under some heavy books overnight can also help.

Otherwise, if you can no longer fit the cards inside the games box (maybe the sleeves are too wide) you can get a separate card case which can keep all of your cards together and protected.

Most usually fit about 100 double sleeved cards but you can get different sizes for what you need.

[proven raft]

I never really figured out how you're supposed to fit all the cards neatly back into the box
I always end up splitting a stack so they'll all fit

[steady tartan]

yea thought about that but i'd love to keep everything in one box

They are only sleeved once, I'll already tried to get the air out. I'll try to lay sone books on them, thought it maybe has no big effect if the air is already out

[lime jungle]

If you're lucky, you might find custom inserts for the game's box for better organization. I know there are a few for drg

[steady tartan]

I guess that DRG will not be a problem - but I have other games where it definitively will be or already is a problem ^^

[royal nacelle]

Sentry fires when creatures activate, move, or spawn. But only once per phase, so if a creature spawns in range and moves you only fire when it spawns.

[pearl barn]

i recently got this finaly and i have a question about it

how do i put it away when everything is punched out?

do i do like a gloomhaven like thing?

[royal nacelle]

What's the gloomhaven thing?

[pearl barn]

arange the tiles in a certain way to make it fit a box shape

[royal nacelle]

Kinda, I guess

there's plenty of different ways to pack the box, you have to find one that agrees with you

[pearl barn]

but i have a custom wooden incert for that behemoth of a game

oh also how well do the minis prime and paint?

[royal nacelle]

very well

might need to wash them first I suppose, some have reported mould release agent interferring with primer.

other than that, they're fine

[pearl barn]

i personaly wont be doing that my sister will shes more talnted with atht syuff she helped paint mmy warhammer 40k army XD

but would like to know so i can get an understanding of it

[pearl barn]

ok good to know

[royal nacelle]

there's a packing guide on board game geek, I can go find the link in a minute or two

https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3003461/deluxe-edition-packing-guide

[pearl barn]

ok ty

is this the standard or deluxe? i got the deluxe so i could get the kickstarter stuff lol

ok i didnt fully read looks like thats a deluxe box

another question is the cards are they like standard mtg card size?

if so i was thinking of juat getting dragon shield for sleeves at some point

[royal nacelle]

I don't know standard MTG sizes. But the DRG cards are 63x88mm

[pearl barn]

ok yea they are the same size cool

i am pickey with sleeves lol i blame my old semi competative mtg days but that was long ago no need for that stuff here

i will order sleeves when i can

[royal nacelle]

Sleeves have been a hotly discussed topic for nearly 3 years..

[lime jungle]

Dragon Shield sleeves work fine

I recommend Ultimate Guard Katana sleeves for your secondary weapons. Dragon Shields are just slightly too big to fit in the player board

[lyric sapphire]

Do you guys know if the Goo From Above expansion will ever come back to the US?

I've only recently gotten into the Board Game and I missed out on the Goo From Above expansion

I was just wondering if it'll ever come back

[royal nacelle]

There's been no public/official statements regarding "ever". MOOD have so far restocked their webstore when they've done prints of another game (recently Valheim), so odds are they'll do that in the future as well. Otherwise you could purchase the STL files and have the miniatures printed (yourself or by a friend/or even outsource it), the rules are available on Board Game Geek.

[lyric sapphire]

Ok, I'm hoping that they will restock and I don't have to print all of it myself because I would like to support the creators in any way I can

[pearl barn]

im the same way it juat feels odd doing it like that when theres an offical one

im odd like that lol

[lyric sapphire]

REAL, I just like everything to be from an offical store

[proven raft]

my local board game club has the deluxe edition and all the addons to it, but it's a bit of a mess right now
next time I go there, I might just autistically take them apart and try to cleanly repackage them

hell, I couldn't even find the stat card for the dreadnought or korlok tyrant-weed in their respective packs

[royal nacelle]

They don't have separate stat card, apart from their normal cards.

[proven raft]

I couldn't find any stat cards for them

[royal nacelle]

Dreadnought's rules are in the Biome rules, and Korlok's rules are on the back of the box.

[proven raft]

I see

[royal nacelle]

Probably mixed in with the rest of the creature cards then?

[proven raft]

you just said that there were no stat cards, so that explains why I couldn't find any

[royal nacelle]

They have creature stat cards

But not a stat board like Goo from Above

[proven raft]

I'll just need to take a closer look next sunday then

[steady tartan]

Is the glyphid reference board standard? Or was it Kickstarter exclusive?

[steady tartan]

Sorry I meant to ping johnno

[royal nacelle]

It was 1st edition, 2nd ed instead got the creature stat cards

[steady tartan]

Ah okay, thanks

[bright summit]

What does the Mission specific event for Mission 11 mean with "bearings"?

Deceptive reflections. The active dwarf rolls a creature die. If the result is !, he loses his bearings and becomes 'stunned'

[royal nacelle]

It's just descriptive text, to lose your bearings means to become lost or to lose your sense of direction.

You can spin your dwarf around on their spot and then add the stunned marker.

[bright summit]

Oh 😐 LMAO

Thanks!

[pearl barn]

does anyone know if there is a guide somewhere on what colors to paint the minis?

also rock and stone

[royal nacelle]

It's entirely individual and depends on not only which colours you personally prefer, but which painting styles/techniques.

[pearl barn]

i see ok ill try to figure out the colors thanks

[uncut basalt]

Not a guide, but this is one place I've drawn inspiration:

https://imgur.com/a/deep-rock-galactic-board-game-us2FlHQ

Also, @rigid birch will sometimes post live streams of painting minis, and they're gorgeous. Take a look at those too, I'd say. 🙂

[rigid birch]

I stream almost every saturday, I'm super close on getting all of the expansion miniatures done, just some pigment powdering, bases and highlights to go

[rapid grail]

Hey do they sell the minis separate from the actual board game? I don’t think I’ll play it but I would love to just have some little drg minis around

[royal nacelle]

They do not. They do however sell the STL files, so you could buy those and have some miniatures printed.

[lime jungle]

Speaking of, MOOD just released the STL files for their upcoming Valheim game

[keen hamlet]

That game ever get out of early access? I never jumped on that bandwagon.

[neat mirage]

it's still in EA but closing in on 1.0

[rapid grail]

Sick ty

[upbeat terrace]

Messaged the creator of the mission generator app on BGG. All of the biomes have been completed but Google is blocking the updates due to “impersonation”. They have written permission from MOOD and have filed an appeal…so expect a large update soon.

[raven fern]

Hey guys, I'd like to design a custom inlay. Are there any breakdowns of statistical/stochastical analysis of the game? Like, e.g. "What is the expected value for the number of throwable-tokens to be played"? I'm not good with stochastics, but I want to optimize my tray. 😅

[royal nacelle]

A lot of what's required in play is down to which missions you choose to play, or for throwables and weapon/class tokens it's down to which of those you choose (or happen to get in case of randomly drawn throwables).

If you're going to keep stuff in the inlay then I reckon ammo and special condition tokens are going to be the most used ones, along with minerals. Then damage cubes and weapon upgrade tokens. Pickup tokens and 'other' tokens is more during setup / choosing characters. If anything throwable specific tokens are the least used since you won't get new throwables that often during play.

Single space cave tiles are also of course used a lot, so could have those close at hand.

[proven raft]

is there a LFG channel for the board game?

[royal nacelle]

You're in it xD

I recommend announcing a day (or even two) ahead of time that you want to play, and using a timestamp generator so people can keep track of when it is; https://r.3v.fi/discord-timestamps/

[sweet kestrel]

guys elo

im new into board game

me with my homie got 2 questions

1. Engi turret deal smth? if yes so what it is dmging? rocket gun profile?
   2.How we choose where to place minerals?

[royal nacelle]

1. Green bullet die, range 3. When creatures spawn or activate within range, or move into its range. Once per phase, per creature.
2. Randomly. You can use the black dice bag or just shake minerals in your hand and decide which location to put a mineral into, before looking at it.

[sweet kestrel]

turret has infinite ammo?
and once per phase, per creature, that means that it can shoot non limited times, but only one shot per bug, only depends on how many bugs in hear radius?

[royal nacelle]

Yes it has unlimited ammo. It has 1 health so if it's attacked it's destroyed and has to be deployed again.

Yes, it can fire as many times as necessary.

[sweet kestrel]

my thx)

[sweet kestrel]

i got more questions
Sry to bother you
"every enemy activating"
what activate actually mean? they run and if get to your radius they bite OR they only bite if they already in your radius? also about their spawn, they can spawn on exit token? Or only on near to it?

[rigid birch]

its saturday guys, you know what that means

https://www.twitch.tv/dreffbuilder

[royal nacelle]

Activation happens when event card says creatures activate (they move or attack), or during swarms. Means the turret shoots when you select a creature to move or attack. So the turret shoots if the creature comes into range (started outside of range), starts to move inside the range (ended move inside the turret's range last time), if it spawns on the tunnel exit, or near it if the exit is occupied, or if it spawns due to a card near a dwarf or something.

And if the creature is in melee range it attacks at the same time as the sentry gun, so they can destroy eachother

Or if it's a range enemy, for that matter

[sweet kestrel]

no, i doesnt mean turret😄
I mean the enemies themselves
can enemies spawn on exit token or not
and if they activating, they can walk and attack at same their activation?
And about actions, can actions be the same? like 2 moves or 2 attacks?
And question about scout, he can shoot sniped bullets after move for free?
and can he move, create his torch and then shoot for free?
and does his torchgun counts as shooting action?

[royal nacelle]

I think you need to read the rules at this point. Creature activation is a long list of rules about how they work. Scout's rules are listed in his description in the rulebook too.

[sweet kestrel]

tried but my mind went
🤯

[royal nacelle]

Well I would really just be repeating what the rulebook says

[sweet kestrel]

well, ill try to reread it but more complex, mb will find some clarifications
mb suddenly missed smth
btw thx for help with turret!

[royal nacelle]

Give it a few more reads, I don't mind answering if something isn't clear but that's so many questions that I'd really just be retyping the rules.

[graceful oracle]

Hello! I'd like to add a custom soundboard to my DRG boardgame games, to shout some "Rock & Stone", creatures growl/effects, etc. Does anyone know if there is an archive somewhere with the sounds from DRG?

[upbeat terrace]

https://mrgolden32467.itch.io/mission-control

[graceful oracle]

I knew someone must have done something similar. xD Thanks!

Know if it will one day be updated for expansions?

[tacit yew]

i think it will be but i dont remember

[graceful oracle]

It said so, but one year ago. He might have dropped it. Asked him again on reddit.

[tacit yew]

this was his last post

[graceful oracle]

Oh okay, cool!

Hope he managed to get back his license.

[sweet kestrel]

Im back here, i reread rules but now in eng but not in my language and understood lots of things😅 . But still missing smth, you cant get you grenades from supply's? Right? And you cant get them in any other way? Only 1 grenade for whole map?
I read about grenades, and about supply's, and there was no words about it

[royal nacelle]

Grenades are one use, then discarded. You can get a new one from an event card or a rock and stone card, or if you have the expansions there's some upgrades and the assignment reward track. But normally, it's rare to get new grenades

[sweet kestrel]

Ok, thx❤️

[proven raft]

Which expansion added extra throwables? I have 10 of 16 throwables in my deck.

I can fish out the outliers, they're ever so slightly differently shaded, but now I need to find their origin

Honestly, I don't understand ehy only the R&S cards have an obvious corner tag to differentiate them

[royal nacelle]

Biome Expansion

[proven raft]

Oh wtf
I have 3 extra event cards and am missing 4 R&S cards

[royal nacelle]

3 extra event cards sounds like the updated copies that came with 2nd ed upgrade kit.

[proven raft]

Upgrade kit? Did it rebalance stuff or something?

[royal nacelle]

No just changed the wording a bit on the cards.

[proven raft]

None of the content lists are accurate for the mission cards either

All of them have more than the listed number, as well as in the mission books

This all made taking inventory of the sets much harder than I thought

[cold herald]

OwO me and my irl friend doing mission 4

[royal nacelle]

I'm about to go prime some spore fungus minis

[proven raft]

Wow, the Thunderhead, uh... kinda sucks, doesn't it

[royal nacelle]

Doesn't, no, my most used Gunner weapon other than playtesting the Hurricane.

[proven raft]

You're telling me I can choose to spend 1 move and 1 ammo to roll 1 explosive die, or spend 2 moves and 2 ammo to roll 2 explosive dice?

What a magnificent difference

[royal nacelle]

2 actions and 1 ammo.

[royal nacelle]

Big difference between 1 action and 1 ammo, resulting in 1 explosive die, and 2 actions 1 ammo resulting in 2 explosive dice, at the same time. Yes, you stand still an extra action and get an extra die. For the same ammo cost. It's one of the strongest options for damage per ammo, especially when it comes to how few enemies have explosive resistance.

[manic hare]

Just Painted the bulk detonator yeah I'm not that good with colors so I just worked the way I have lol

[royal nacelle]

Better with a splash of colour on the board rather than just a sea of grey. Look allright to me, could perhaps give the teeth and claws a couple dabs of white or light brown as a next step if you want to take it further, other than that as I said, better than grey 🙂

[errant maple]

Are there any further missions for the base game caves beyond the core book?

[royal nacelle]

There's the mission generator at the back of the book, you can use it to make as many missions as you like.

[ornate dock]

They truly look spoorus

I wouldn’t step on them for sure

[kindred gale]

How about the other way

[wary olive]

Mh, the second edition rulebook came with an extra r&s card and 3 event cards. Do i add these to the main game?

[royal nacelle]

The intent was that they replace the existing cards of those types.

[wary olive]

I see they have updated rules now

[wary olive]

Are there any sleeves for the tiny cards?

[royal nacelle]

44x63mm Sleeve Kings "Everdell" sleeves (8840) according to someone on BGG. Then again, any sleeve that size should likely fit

[wary olive]

Yeah, looks like this is as close as to the measurements i got, thanks

[lime jungle]

@wary olive

I tested a few different sleeves marketed for this size card. Some were thicker plastic than others. One was just slightly too short that the card stuck out at the top. In my opinion, Sleeve Kings were better quality than Mayday Games Standards, even though the MG's fit nicer in the Space Rig Slots after cutting a mm off the top.

If you can imagine the plastic that was used for wrapping the board game box when you bought it, the MG Standards were rather similar to that thickness. Very flimsy and fragile. Sleeve Kings were just a little thicker and nicer.

[lime jungle]

What do they smell like? You could dip them in rotten fish for immersion

[royal nacelle]

Haven't added scent capsules yet, putrified fish sounds like a good choice.

Motion sensor and pressurised air to have them puff out a bit of scent whenever you move something close to em

[lime jungle]

I guess the resin is still toxic enough

[royal nacelle]

Sealed in by acrylics and varnish now though

[wary olive]

How were they too big?

[lime jungle]

The width is a touch wide, therefore you cannot just cut them smaller

I think the height was also a little tall on them but I just cut them down with a hobby knife and a ruler as a guide

So if you were to put the cards with the altered sleeves in the slots now, they will either sit just a little crooked or get a little stuck by being too snug of a fit

[wary olive]

The MG versions don't have that problem?

[lime jungle]

the MG Premiums were too short, the Standards just needed a trim at the top and then it fits right

However the standards are very thin they're very easy to crease or damage. It's almost like marketed inner sleeves, but I tried double sleeving with them and they don't work with what I've tested with

[wary olive]

Is it the standard 7158 for the sleeves that fit into the slot after cutting?

[proven raft]

I wonder if there exists a paintable scratch-n-sniff solution

[viscid field]

Since you are talking about the cards: Any news about a replacement?

[royal nacelle]

Nope, they're still looking into it

[lime jungle]

I'd imagine their main focus at this moment is finishing Valheim

[wary olive]

Sleeves don't exist in europe lol

Maybe i'll just go sleeveless with the small cards for now

[coarse fox]

Hey, I have had trouble in the past when packing up the terrain tiles, any tips?

[royal nacelle]

https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3003461/deluxe-edition-packing-guide

I pack mine mostly like Robsbot there

[lime jungle]

Bro is like a mix of gunner and engineer

Also idk if it's been mentioned here yet, but I just noticed the Mission Terminal App has been updated will all the biomes

This might be old news I forget to update my apps

[tacit yew]

awesome

i didnt know that either

[plush surge]

Hello everyone i got a question: does the Goo from above expansion ever come back in stock? i managed to snag everything else from the march restock but GFA is the last one im missing and couldnt ever see it sold from MOOD

[royal nacelle]

Maybe, there's been no official statement wether or not it'll be back in stock, or when. It has previously been restocked but we have no info on when it'll be restocked next.

[plush surge]

Right so there’s a chance. My fear was that it would never ever come back and I would have to resort to buying it from non-official sources

Where does one see updates on Mood DRG restocks? Insta?

[royal nacelle]

Push comes to shove you can get the rules from Board Game Geek, which MOOD have uploaded themselves, and buy their STL files from MOOD and have the models printed. But yeah I'd sit tight for now, could also just email [e-mail] and ask them directly.

[royal nacelle]

As far as I know they don't announce it. You'd have to keep checking their webstore.

[plush surge]

Ah alright then I’ll try to be patient

I’m pretty happy about managing to get everything else aside from GFA this month

Thanks for the info!

[proven saffron]

Is this a trustworthy site to buy the game from? https://www.gamenerdz.com/deep-rock-galactic-the-board-game-2nd-edition-deluxe-preorder

[neat mirage]

maybe @royal nacelle knows

[royal nacelle]

Never heard of them before, but googling a bit at least online sources seem to think it's a legit site. Fact that it says Preorder and Feb 21st seems a bit weird though, as does the price, but still, could well be legit.

$106 vs MOOD's $175, and free shipping.. Does sound a bit too good to be true, but could well be they bought copies and haven't been able to sell them, hence the sale.

[plush surge]

This kinda ties with the question i asked before. This website lists every expansion as preorder, although some of them (GFA) haven't been aviable in a good while. I wanted to buy it from them but it doesnt look totally legit.

i'd rather wait and buy stuff from mood even if i have to spend more

rather getting baited with low prices and free shipping for a product that has very limited aviability

[proven saffron]

I think the preorder is delayed

Maybe that’s why it says February 21

“release date are subject to change without notice.”

[royal nacelle]

It was released on Kickstarter though, ages ago, and MOOD are the ones doing reprints of the game. I've seen several sites that have preorders up, and just keep pushing the date forever, without actually ordering in more copies through MOOD.

Considering MOOD themselves have copies in stock I'm not sure how preordering from elsewhere would work, other than the second site waiting for a reprint that may or may not come. And then selling at such a discount would be odd for a newly printed product.

[proven saffron]

I really want the board game and it seems like a good deal should I order it from that website?

[royal nacelle]

email or phone them and ask when they're actually getting the game in stock, if it really is a preorder.

And if they don't know, well then you'd just have to sit and wait anyway. So depends how soon you want to have the game.

Turns out the game is only $145 from MOOD, rather than the $175 I thought it was (just checked EU + exchange rates).

[proven saffron]

Alr I’ll email them

[proven saffron]

What’s gama expo

[neat mirage]

https://www.gama.org/page/gama-expo

that's all I got

[royal nacelle]

Sounds like they're going through multiple different middle hands to get the product. Guessing GAMA Expo might be the ones importing the products and then sending them on to distributors.

And the importer is dependant on when MOOD does reprints.

[neat mirage]

that + the price looks pretty weird

[royal nacelle]

Does look bit weird to have 30% off on a preorder. Price would be similar to the bulk orders from the original Kickstarter I reckon.

@proven saffron you could use the GameNerdz 'set release day notification' thing, or just preorder (assuming you're not charged until it ships).. does mean waiting though, compared to paying $40 extra and getting it from MOOD straight away.

[proven saffron]

Alright thanks

[tame jungle]

Just a quick plug in case anybody hasn't seen it yet. 😁

I've got a random mission generator app for free through google play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sirsamson.drgmissionterminal

[royal nacelle]

I tried it for a bit, got some spicy layouts, double nexus breeder, even started with menaces on the board in one mission. Love it

[tame jungle]

Glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah... sometimes it builds some wacky stuff 😅

[royal nacelle]

Yep some of the mission specific events also had me going "ooh extra spicy!"

Really great for easy custom missions, very well done.

Also sent you a private message, don't miss it like last time 😛

[graceful oracle]

Rule question, how do you pick up non-pickaxe pick-ups, like apoca bloom?

[royal nacelle]

Have to dance on the tile

[tame jungle]

Yep, just step on 'em 💪

[graceful oracle]

Thanks!

[graceful oracle]

Can bugs walk on a minehead? For aquarks missions.

And does minehead block view?

(yeah, I'm playing one right now)

[royal nacelle]

Bugs can walk on it, doesn't block line of sight.

[graceful oracle]

Thanks!

Gunner in a pickle there.

[royal nacelle]

Drop shield on the flare location, pop the exploder, bob's your uncle

[graceful oracle]

It wasn't his turn yet. :P Throw a plama grenade, blew everything up.

[graceful oracle]

How long does the driller's flaming ground last?

[royal nacelle]

until his next turn

[graceful oracle]

Ok

[graceful oracle]

And that was a loss. I really need to find peoples to play it. XD

[royal nacelle]

Takes a while to get used to the pace of the game, knowing when to speed up and when you have the time to chill, like skipping certain minerals or cave sections, which enemies to focus on, and so on.

[coarse fox]

Thanks a lot, I am gonna put everything like this next time I play

[coarse fox]

I need to learn how to paint minis so I can paint my dwarves and bugs

[royal nacelle]

"Veteran" difficulty really means veteran, eh @tame jungle ?

Need to print some more goo tokens

[tame jungle]

Seems like a sticky situation! 😆

[stray cipher]

can we find the board game in french ? ;-;

[lime jungle]

You can find rulebooks in other languages on BGG

[stray cipher]

just the rulebooks ?

[lime jungle]

So far just the rulebooks and mission books on pdf

The game itself is only made in english, unfortunately

[royal nacelle]

Not a physical copy no, but if you email [e-mail] they can send you french versions of all the cards and boards as well as the rulebook/mission book you can find on BGG.

[rigid birch]

might it be a saturday today? i know what that means https://www.twitch.tv/dreffbuilder

[valid fractal]

hello i'm looking to sell my drg board game so if someone is interested please dm me. the price can also be a bit lower

https://boardgamegeek.com/market/product/3690133

[royal nacelle]

I've seen a few people asking for Goo from Above at least, if you'd be willing to sell it separately?

[valid fractal]

sure but i'm just selling it because i need 65 euro and i think 65 euro is too high for just goo from above

[royal nacelle]

@plush surge poke

[plush surge]

Uhhh I just need the GFA expansion though

[plush surge]

Thanks for the ping

[plush surge]

Can I DM you?

[royal nacelle]

I've been tempted to get a second core box for extra cave tiles and cards

[plush surge]

If they’re willing to split, I’ll get the GFA immediately

[valid fractal]

sure

[outer hatch]

Would so appreciate Mood Publishing kept producing all them DRG stuff. I vas THIS close to order double up on all before yuletider 2024, but had no spare money... obhoy, the REGRET!

[royal nacelle]

@proven saffron might be interested in the core game box?

[royal nacelle]

Last I heard they were looking to resupply during March (they're producing the Valheim board game now so probably getting copies made for DRG at the same time)

[proven saffron]

I’d rather have the 2nd edition

I’ll probably order it off of gamenerdz

[valid fractal]

is it ok to dm?

[royal nacelle]

well they said they'd rather buy the 2nd ed so bit futile I think

[valid fractal]

no i mean you

[royal nacelle]

ah sure

[rigid birch]

I've actually got an additional GFA box I ordered accidentally as an extra, I'm in Europe however so mailing it across the sea might be a bit of a expensive endeavor

[royal nacelle]

1st or 2nd ed?

The stat card from 1st ed might be worth the cost xD

[rigid birch]

1st

I like the new cards personally

[royal nacelle]

Yeah but the 2nd ed GfA box doesn't have the stat card, so you don't get the full rules unless you go online to grab em.

MOOD are still looking into that, reckon we'll get a 3rd ed GfA next time around

[rigid birch]

Ah right, yeah i grabbed the full rules myself

[fiery shuttle]

can anyone tell me if the board game is worth it for only 2 players, or should we wait until we can play with 3-4?

[royal nacelle]

I've mostly even been playing solo, and think it's certainly worth it if you enjoy the miniatures (painting etc). For 2 players, definitely, know plenty of people who mainly play with their partner or a friend.

@fiery shuttleyou could scroll up a bit here and message kay, discuss grabbing their deluxe edition.

[fiery shuttle]

no worries. i have the box from the kickstarter campaign. just have never gotten around to playing it for a few years (to my shame)

[royal nacelle]

ah, well if you have someone to play with give it a whirl.

[urban iron]

Yeah I mostly play with my dad, it's a lot of fun

[lime jungle]

Your collectors sticker looks different. Is that also a 24hr?

[graceful oracle]

Hello, I want to sleeve my cards, which size should I take for DRG:BG?

[valid fractal]

no it's not but i backed the highest tier on kickstarter

[royal nacelle]

63x88mm and 44x63mm.

[graceful oracle]

Thanks!

44x63 are for the Space Rig extension, right?

[royal nacelle]

And mission cards, yes

[graceful oracle]

👍

[lime jungle]

Really any standard size will fit

Your selection for smaller sleeves are a bit limited

[lime jungle]

Interesting. Didn't know there was an exclusive sticker for that

[royal nacelle]

There was one for Collector's edition (since it has the metal mug), and one for 24h (coin).

[lime jungle]

Now I'm getting fomo over a damn sticker 😂

[royal nacelle]

And one for 24h collector's I suppose

[lime jungle]

I got the 24hr for both releases

It cost me my kidney by the end of it

[royal nacelle]

Good thing we have two of them

[ancient prawn]

same and same for the next statement too. Haven't even played a game of it yet... round the same time i got it, all my regular boardgame buddies left town for various reasons and we stopped having regular boardgame nights. Now i have two full rows of kickstarter disappointment on my shelves.

[royal nacelle]

Engi Gobbo turned out a smidgeon too tall but eh, will work on the board I reckon

👀

a shower thought i had: i could use the bulk minifig to behave like the unknown horrow for the haunted cave mission warning in my BG missions 🤔

[royal nacelle]

Several people have figured the same xD better yet, have one printed in clear resin

[plush surge]

gah dayum

but i guess it should move "slower" than a regular bulk

[royal nacelle]

Could do, or have R1. Make it auto-hit when it ends its move in range of a Dwarf, but no dice roll, just a flat 1pt damage.

[plush surge]

1 dmg seems low considering the horror one-taps you

But R1 makes very much sense

It’s danger lies in area denial

And kiting capabilities

Like, you can feel the real danger in this week EDD in the videogame

Aquark + dread + haunted cave

Trying to deliver Aquarks and then fight a dread in a cramped space with the horror

[royal nacelle]

Move and attack is strong though, plus unkillable. Once dwarves start going down the game gets way harder, so definitely shouldn't be a onehit. Especially if you do automatic damage rather than rolling there's little mitigation.

[plush surge]

True

[royal nacelle]

Also board game differs a lot in that if it zeroes in on a dwarf they might not be able to move in time if they just had their turn. So others would have to kite it, and you end up with a cat and mouse moreso than being able to go do the mission.

Give it a whirl whatever you decide though, does need playtesting in the end anyway

[plush surge]

I’ll try with m1 r1 and move+act 1damage

Although m1 doesn’t make too much sense considering bulk is 2 hex

[royal nacelle]

could have it move regardless of creature activation

like Doretta 😄

[plush surge]

Yeah

I’ll run that

[lyric sapphire]

W birthday lads?

[ebon flicker]

[wild crow]

Does anyone here still use tabletop simulator to play the board game? I have the original boardgame (was one of the 24hr coins backers), but my friends either aren't keen to play or there's too many of us when we get together.

[royal nacelle]

Yep, I do. Also seen a few people occasionally setting up games here.

[wild crow]

Oh nice! Good to know, I'll keep my eyes peeled to join sometime!
My steam profile is https://s.team/p/dhd-hdgn/btgfbbhk

I would certainly be up to play sometime. It's been a while since I've been busy at uni and I miss playing it!

Here is my steam profile link for anyone interested in exploring Hoxxes on TTS sometime: https://steamcommunity.com/id/effervescent_evil

[tardy merlin]

Your Gobbos are looking awesome!

[royal nacelle]

Thanks, I started pondering if I'll want to make all 12 of them.. xD

[tardy merlin]

That'll be freaking cool! You'll have a full arsenal then!

[royal nacelle]

Yeah they take a lot of effort though so we'll see. Still need to finish my Colonial Dwarves team as well, so might make a couple Dwarves first.

[wild crow]

I can't seem to add you as friend, it's private. Maybe I need to wait till I'm at a pc rather than Steam mobile..

[tardy merlin]

Apologies about that. Yeah, steam mobile can be temperamental sometimes xD I've added you :)

[coral turtle]

nearly done with the splodies

[next gorge]

That a great blend on there main zit thing!

[coral turtle]

thank you, i kept over brushing the highlights then had to bring the orange back up.

[lime jungle]

They're not done?! They look pretty refined to me nice work

[lime jungle]

Eventually have enough to make a custom 4v4 Dwarf vs Gobbo killteam game

[coral turtle]

Thanks! the base is still just primer but yeah the creatures are done as far as im concerned. i may gloss them up for added grossness.

[lime jungle]

I like the satin finish for the chitin. Maybe some gloss varnish on the pustules to really make them shine and look full of volatile gunk

Or the other way around. Honestly don't know what would look right

[plush surge]

Question: which size of minisleeves youre using for the assignment cards? 44x63mm should be correct but i thought i'd ask here aswell

[coral turtle]

i bought 46x61 mini european sleeves

this is hpw they fit, cant remember why i didnt get 44x63

[lime jungle]

I went with Sleeve Kings Everdell sleeves (44x63) after testing other brands of the same size. I'd like to change them if I ever come across a better quality sleeve

I feel like you'd have to trim the top of most sleeves if you want them to fit in the Space Rig slots better

[lime jungle]

Are those Gamegenic Mattes? They look pretty close despite it being bigger measurements

[coral turtle]

yes gamegenic matte

[plush surge]

Yeah 44x63 seem to fit way better. Thanks.

[cloud aurora]

Oh God it's happening! Everybody stay calm!

[wary olive]

Well...

Nevermind me looking for ways to store the game

[plush surge]

im not even done with getting all the mini espansion and they hit me with this hahahaha

[short fjord]

hopefully it'll be better than the in-game caretaker

[plush surge]

No "Driller's C4 from the ceiling" strat

dang

[paper wedge]

BRO my storage can't handle this🤣

[plush surge]

i'll be forced to print myself the all in 1-box organizer

[vale spindle]

@royal nacelle I blame your custom Nemesis model for being so good that it has convinced Mood to bring the rivals to the tabletop officially 😂

[cloud aurora]

My wallet is getting vaporised yet again

[royal nacelle]

I'll have to finish it so I can play with it early 😄

[dawn ibex]

Right after I finally spent weeks printing an insert that holds it all together. Still I’m hyped, always down for more of this amazing game!!!

[cloud aurora]

I got a whole transport bag for DRG thinking it would be enough but now it's already obsolete 😂

[paper wedge]

LOL

[dusk edge]

I just got everything to fit into 2 boxes

[hushed marsh]

I never thought we'd get the Rivals in the Board Game, this is great news!
Rock and Stone brothers, lets show em why Rock is superior to Metal.

[dusk edge]

Next they’ll throw in events like rockpox and meteorites

I do kinda like how they started with the base game and are slowly adding in new elements of the game. Giving us time to figure things out before adding more

[spiral belfry]

At this point we're gonna need custom carrying containers

[royal nacelle]

Carrying? More like trolley.

How many kg can it be before the box needs wheels

[spiral belfry]

Get you the death stranding backpack

[graceful oracle]

Hello! I planned to do a board game tomorrow in a game bar, but sadly no one registered. Would anyone be interested for a game on Tabletop Simulator tomorrow at <t:1742065200:f>?

[dusk edge]

Wonder if we’re gonna get Sabotage missions with the new expansion

[graceful oracle]

Wait, there's a new expansion cooking?

[dusk edge]

Yup

[graceful oracle]

Oh dear.

[dusk edge]

Just got the email about it

They’re adding in the rival company bots

[graceful oracle]

And I still didn't receive my figures painted. xD Dang.

[obtuse flare]

The board game already felt more than complete with the last expansions sets

So it's nice to see more is comming

[graceful oracle]

And I still couldn't play any of it. :S

[obtuse flare]

Just like the video game

Well then get on it then miner

[graceful oracle]

I mean I'm still looking for mates to play it IRL, but no one seems interested here.

[dusk edge]

The only other mission type left is the new one with drill

[obtuse flare]

Deep Scan

[dusk edge]

Yeah

[obtuse flare]

I could see it working

[dusk edge]

Then it’s situational things like meteorites and rockpox

[obtuse flare]

Mood probably has to be creative fie the drillevator section, but the searching should work dine

[dusk edge]

I already need a separate table just for the miniatures. Lol

[vale spindle]

Well at this rate, I am going to need a Pallet Trolly with a DRG themed Pallet 🤣

[dusk edge]

Rolls up to game convention with a hand truck and it’s just Deep Rock

[obtuse flare]

And maybe more boimes and the Twins as a boss fight

Speaking of which

I would like to see more content from the video game, but I don't want the board game to turn into a checklist

I don't want Mood to add everything from the video game

[dusk edge]

We have struggled with some of the missions with what we already have

My success rate in the board game is way different from the video game. Lol

[royal nacelle]

You could put me down as a maybe, not 100% sure yet so don't need to save a spot for me if you find others

[graceful oracle]

Noted, thanks!

[cloud aurora]

Considering the tentacle bots and the big eye on the post, we most likely are getting the sabotage mission, it should work similar to the escort duty mission by drawing cards when doing the rival boss

[hollow crow]

Cool that they are expanding it more, but I hope they resolve the outstanding stuff with the last campaign (fixing card backs, the korlock cave and the issues with the rulebook), before the launch. I know they already said they are looking at it, but would be nice to have resolved before committing to backing the new one

[plush surge]

also connecting the hacking pods (like when building pipes for morkite) to the power stations and then defending Hack-c

before the caretaker

[dusk edge]

Yeah. That should be a similar process

[royal nacelle]

Saw them post in the comments section that they're planning an update next week about the cards, and mentioning they've found a solution

[hollow crow]

That sounds good! Fingers crossed

[graceful oracle]

Is there a role I could ping to highlight the game I'm hosting tomorrow?

[royal nacelle]

Nope

[neat zealot]

Me learning of a new DRG board game expansion.

[tired pike]

Will there be any bonuses for contributing to the kickstarter?

[royal nacelle]

Probably, if I had to hazard a guess a coin and some knickknack

[cloud aurora]

Usually small things only

[neat zealot]

I like the new themes, although I hope for an equivalent to the omen modular tower. I think detachable modules with different abilities would be a cool boss event.

Embed fail /j

[lime jungle]

What in the goddamn

I'm gonna need a bigger bag now

TWO new major expansions??

[tacit yew]

dont tell me theres 2

i am not buying another two expansions

my table gets full enough already

i really hope the rivals is a mini expansion

or the other one is

[lime jungle]

I'm just curious what the second expansion could be. If one introduces Rival Tech

[tacit yew]

probably new biomes

or they could do something really wild and add the corespawn

which would be awesome

[lime jungle]

Maybe machine events?

[tacit yew]

they havent given any hint about the other expansion

[tacit yew]

but wouldnt machine events still be considered rival tech

like the omen tower

i think they will put all the robot stuff in one expansion and put new biomes and creatures in the other one

[lime jungle]

Omen isn't technically Rival Tech. More tech gone rogue

Kinda like bet-c

[tacit yew]

hm

i definitely dont think it will cost as much as the other expansions though

[ancient prawn]

I'm just going to QQ for a moment here, and curse things for the expansions coming out.

The thing that's most crippling about it, is my absolute fomo when it comes to not being able to get anything later on from KS campaigns

that is all.

[lime jungle]

I get that

But I want that coin

[ancient prawn]

I have the coin, and the mug, and the deluxe everything from both ks campaigns so far

and damned if that email today didn't rile up some emotions

i'm going to have to see when it launches to see what's what with it.

I still haven't painted the minis, nor have I even had a single playthrough with either base game or any of the expacs

so to say i'm conflicted is an understatement

[royal nacelle]

Rockpox if you ask me

[lime jungle]

A fair point. I've got a group of friends that like the game so it's more encouraging for me to get it.

[lime jungle]

See I was thinking also but I wonder what they could do for it

[royal nacelle]

rockpox cleanup, corruptor.. prohibiting spaces where dwarves can stand (or at least have negative effects) would be an interesting mechanic

Some extra rockpox enemies could be interesting, if only to set them slightly apart from regular enemies

who knows, rockpox could well be tied together with deep scan

[lime jungle]

I had a look at the enemies in the game and there aren't that many that aren't in the board game (not including seasonal)

And most are too similar to what we already have

[royal nacelle]

Beauty of the board game is they can do their own, as in rockpox enemies could stand out if they want them to. Remember for example that the Stingtail was originally made for the board game

[lime jungle]

The rammer is something we don't have in the video game

[tacit yew]

do we even need more bugs? the beastiary card pile is pretty thick already

[lime jungle]

Interesting I thought the Stingtail was in the video game before the kickstarter

[tacit yew]

it was

[royal nacelle]

It was due to how things were released, but it was conceived for the board game.

[lime jungle]

The thinf about bugs in the real world

There's a lot of them

[tacit yew]

dung beetle

[lime jungle]

a little glyphid running on a ball of crap sounds like a fun idea

[lime jungle]

Makes sense why they look so different

I think the board game version looks better imo

[royal nacelle]

I didn't realize the video game one has tiny grabby arms near its mouth, until I had a closer look at its model when doing some stuff.

[lime jungle]

Makes more sense also. Where even is the mouth with all those tusks?

[royal nacelle]

oh absolutely. I modelled my handbuilt one after a picture of it, before we got a proper look xD

[royal nacelle]

in the middle of them..

[lime jungle]

I mean for the video game one

[royal nacelle]

yes. so do I?

then again, it has a central tusk in its face doesnt it

[lime jungle]

Ooohh I see it now

[royal nacelle]

Do I remember wrong?

[lime jungle]

In my head I pictured the tusks mucb closer together

Nah I'm just a big doofus

[royal nacelle]

Stingtail, for what it's worth, is listed under "spider - stinger"

[lime jungle]

I wonder if the board game Stingtail got stuck in nerf hell like in the video game

[royal nacelle]

cough

[lime jungle]

Hey, might get the fixed cards that everyone nagged about 😄

[royal nacelle]

I feel two ways about a "solution" and how people might get their hopes up xD

Gut feeling at best you'll have to wait until the next expansions ship.

[tacit yew]

they will probably give you the card corrections if you buy the new expansions

[lime jungle]

I hope they don't release a 3rd edition to everything

[tacit yew]

me neither

but they probably will

thats the only way they can make it profitable

[royal nacelle]

Why would a 3rd ed release be more profitable than just reprinting 2nd ed? Surely people who have 2nd ed stuff aren't going to get 3rd ed just because some minute detail changed.

[lime jungle]

... ummm 👉👈

[royal nacelle]

3rd ed goo from above.. now with both the stat card AND creature cards.. which we have from 1st and 2nd ed...

_>

[lime jungle]

What can I say? I like the number 3 on my boxes

Jokes asside it makes sense they won't

[royal nacelle]

Well that said if we're being pedantic it's only 2nd ed for some stuff 😛

[lime jungle]

The only reason they would is if there's any more revision to spelling or wording on the cards or rulebooks

Example could be for the detonator, where they didn't add that creatures activate on the swarm card

[royal nacelle]

Yeah. But, as I said, pedantically, that'd be 2nd ed for the bulk det 😄

[lime jungle]

Yeah

Or they skip it and make it 3rd to reflect the 3rd major kickstarter release

[royal nacelle]

I'd say it's fair (but not necessarily something I forcefully expect) that they fix a buncha things for anyone that buys the latest expansions. Just don't think it's really fair to expect them to fix every single detail ad nauseam

[lime jungle]

They're only human

[hollow crow]

I think it’s fair to expect them to fix most of the errors - this is a premium product. Some random typos are OK, but this is beyond that

[royal nacelle]

What I meant with "ad nauseam" is that you're somehow guaranteed a perfect product. If they do their best to fix something, but it somehow falls short, well they tried. Rather than you having 10 different Korlok tiles until you're happy.

Sadly it's something that definitely should've been caught in QA, same with the card backs, long before it become an issue.

New cards, and Korlok tiles, WHEN a new game is released, would be fair. Not sure of rulebooks when they provide digital versions, but .. sure, could go that far too.

But that's my personal view.

[hollow crow]

Sure, there has to be a limit, and it doesn’t need to be perfect, but I don’t think we are close to that. There have been no revised backs sent out at all, and they might not even be fixing the parts of the mission rulebook where the set up is just totally wrong

And yeah, I don’t mind waiting for them to send out fixes at the same time as the new game so they can hit it all in one print run. But shouldn’t be contingent on buying the new expansion

[royal nacelle]

I wouldn't expect a new mission book since that's not crucial to play, you can "fix" that on your own, compared to cards that clearly show on their back what you're about to draw next.

And I didn't say necessarily buying the new expansions, but WHEN it's released, as such that you can get it when stuff is being printed, rather than them printing stuff at extra cost

ie having to wait

We'll see as they said next week they're planning on releasing an update, may well be they'll say they'll send something as they're printing new stuff

[hollow crow]

Waiting is fine with me, part of the Kickstarter experience haha

[royal nacelle]

Because at least now it's coinciding with a planned release of new expansions

Just saying it could be fair to wait until those, to get fixed stuff. Not saying it's quick nor easy nor acceptable.. just... well, reality.

[hollow crow]

If the fixes are good and free, waiting is fine

I think what feeds into me wanting them to address this is that the original game felt like a good deal, but the expansions felt a bit expensive, so them having quality control problems on top of that was disappointing. But I think it’s best to give the benefit of the doubt and assume they are doing their best. Let’s see next week! Also very curious how they expand the game further as it felt pretty complete already

[royal nacelle]

In hindsight I think the original game was "too good" of a deal, not only in quality but the bundles etc. That, plus slap on covid and inflation, expansions hit at a weird time.

[lime jungle]

I forgot about the klorok tile being a serious issue. It's not even as terrible as how some make it out to be

[royal nacelle]

Some don't see the difference, some don't care because they like it being distinct since you can see Korlok vines before seeing the thing in the video game... but yeah, if you really want it as a hidden cave tile, it should be the same colour.

[hollow crow]

There are mechanical fixes like rolling a dice or something , but you lose the great moment of physically flipping the board piece and finding a horrifying threat

And the game generally leans into the physical tactile side

[royal nacelle]

hence added horrifying moment of my fix, picking a distinct default tile to replace.. that split second of thinking it's just three grunts, only realize you promised yourself that's the Korlok tile..

[hollow crow]

That is probably the best fix yeah

[royal nacelle]

Easiest at least, doesn't take into account statistics

[tacit yew]

i just painted my tiles

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[royal nacelle]

Any layer separation? Any warping?

[tacit yew]

not really

the truth is, every tile is a slightly different colour

which isnt great

but it also means you cant memorize the tiles

so it still gets the job done fine

[upbeat terrace]

They said that? Where?

[royal nacelle]

expansions kickstarter update comments section

[upbeat terrace]

Anyways, I’m going to wait until this expansions release before getting them. I feel like the previous ones were overpriced for what they were.

…especially the Bulk Detonator.

As for the card backs, I never noticed the difference with them. I did notice the difference with the Korlok Tyrant Weed. And honestly that led me to never using that tile and fighting the weed…so I do feel a bit burnt on that purchase.

[royal nacelle]

Could well use the Tyrant weed as a secondary objective, or just adding it for difficulty.

[upbeat terrace]

Could also just be because I have no friends and have been playing the game by myself.

[royal nacelle]

Well even then, I personally just decided to "fix" the Korlok issue myself. And I already even printed and sculpted a bulk detonator even before getting the expansions.

I know others have pointed out that I have a different view, but honestly, you're paying one hour's worth of work (average salary in western world anyway) for a hefty plastic model. I'm not sure what you're expecting, or at what cost. Personally I'm kinda tired of hearing the whinging about it.

Sorry to be harsh about it, but it's not that much to pay for a handful of a model, and if you don't like it don't buy it.

thooooose copy cats

also, i was surprised to see another drg expansion so soon!

[ashen oar]

ikr my giant board game backpack cannot carry all the drg content; need to get some expensive custome inserts or something to maybe reduce box count x.x

[lime jungle]

They haven't even finished with Valheim yet

[urban iron]

I was thinking some kind of season expansion, rockpox, rivals, and maybe deep scan?

[plush surge]

Considering that there is no verticality in the board game I don’t see how they could implement deep scan. Rockpox would be fun with Harold roaming around and the dwarves foaming and vacuuming him up

[kindred gale]

How long did it take for expansions from kickstarter start to release?

And also at space rig and biome annoucment, were karlok and bulk also announced or did they comes later?

[dusk edge]

I got space rig, biome, karlok, and bulk all in one kickstarter, so they were announced at the same time

first round I got base game and goo from above

[tardy merlin]

Here's a discussion about this a bit ago (with regards to deep scan, namely the drillevator): #drg-board-game message

[hushed marsh]

I just checked, and for me (Netherlands), the expansions arrived at my doorstep exactly one year after the KS launch. (Sept 23-sept 24).

The 2nd edition base game arrived a bit earlier, in June 24.

The korlok and bulk came with the expansions as well, and were announced at the same time.

[tardy merlin]

From past experiences, MOOD aims for fulfilment of their projects in about a year iirc.

So they have Valheim now, which should be by October 2025 this year, then there's the Goat Simulator card game (not sure how long that would take but it seems much smaller than Valheim/DRG etc. projects imho) and then there is the Rivals and Horrors of Hoxxes expansions. So, a bit of a list of projects ongoing and in the future rn xD

It wouldn't be a stretch to say that we might not get the two major expansion until at least late 2026/early 2027.

At any rate, we'd better wait and see. I'm so excited ngl xD

[ionic widget]

wouldn't mind if they add new Rival enemies

could be cool

[kindred gale]

Quite a commosion happening over there XD

[tacit yew]

how could they do this

[kindred gale]

Should it be to bubbly?

[zealous folio]

Hey all, I’m finally getting around opening this beauty and have a quick question. I’ve got the first version of the base game and first expansions (from first kickstarter) as well as the second set of all expansions from the most recent kickstarter. Can I use the second edition of the rulebook even though I have the first edition of the game?

[coral turtle]

mine is

[coral turtle]

yes, believe it just has some better wording and updated interactions

[zealous folio]

Thank you, wasn’t sure if they play differently

[tacit yew]

yea mine is bubbly too

i think it looks nice

[wary olive]

Honestly, this kickstarter better have some kind of storage solution

[royal nacelle]

Would be a waste for them to make a storage solution unless it's some ultimate future-proofed version. Else they'd have to keep making storage solutions each expansion.

[ancient prawn]

i just hope they stop with this upcoming one

i love them dearly

but shipping costs are killing me.

[royal nacelle]

Yeah bit rough when local retailers don't stock everything

[graceful oracle]

Sorry Johnno, in the end I managed to have friends play the game with me this afternoon. :P

[royal nacelle]

All good, hope you guys had fun

[graceful oracle]

We had. Started with a novice to take the thing in hand, then veteran which we won 2 threat before the end. Quite fun.

Nearly had to Satchel myself.

[south violet]

Damnit another expansion??? I gotta catch up on my painting

Honestly I don't know if I will get the new ones, just because I so rarely get to get a game group together. I've played it like 6 times total? I haven't played any of the new mission types let alone the deep dives...

[next gorge]

yeah same boat tbh haven't even touched the space rig and biom expansion yet and only on mission 5 of the base game

[south violet]

And it's not that it's not an excellent game either! I just don't have friends with enough free time anymore 😭

Not in person ones at least

[coral turtle]

im in the same exact boat. never painted minis before and now i have a backlog to paint and have only played the game like 10 times lol. really love it as a hobby and social thing but damn its tricky to find the time and people with how complex it can get.

[upbeat terrace]

I just play with myself.

[coral turtle]

tmi

[upbeat terrace]

I mean, it’s why the game has BOSCO as a mechanic in the rulebook.

[coral turtle]

i did do a mission by myself it it was way more entertaining than i thought it would be

i also wasnt worried about anyone getting bored

i will have to try it again

[upbeat terrace]

There was an app on Android that generated random missions and board layouts for the game.

But almost a week ago, Google took it down for impersonation.

[verbal aurora]

was there any update on the rumor they'll be restocking the previous expansions with this expansion or in anticipation for Valheim's launch?

[lyric sapphire]

In the last kickstarter with the 2 major expansions they restocked the Goo From Above expansion so I’m expecting they’ll do the same

Literally made a kickstarter account just to follow the new kickstarter I’m so hyped for rival tech stuff

Even if I can only afford one (which is likely) I’m definitely buying the rival tech one over the horrors of hoxxes

[dawn ibex]

I was messaging mood support and there appears to be a new shipment of the expansions arriving sometime in april, atleast for europe

genuinely no idea where to put more expansions

bottom left is reserved for Nemesis Retaliation

top right Sniper Elite

[next gorge]

Guess you’re picking up one of those all in one box inserts eh

[dawn ibex]

probably, but its not exactly going to be easier to transport

[verbal aurora]

tbf i've seen some etsy things where they made like printed containers to store everything decently so im probably gunna do that

also thanks for tha answer all :P

[urban iron]

Mine is even more bubbly im pretty sure

[urban iron]

How can we be so sure that there will be another one soon?

[urban iron]

Together with my dad i have done the entire base mission book and done a bunch of mission that we thought looked fun out of the expansions. Also did some fun expansion missions while playing the space rig campaign

[royal nacelle]

MOOD teased it on Facebook

[dawn ibex]

https://www.instagram.com/p/DHLuOatMiHW/

Greetings, Miners! ⛏️

We’re thrilled to unveil new expansions for Deep Rock Galactic: The Board Game, bringing fresh challenges, deadly new threats, and even greater rewards for those brave enough to fight the rival company.

Go to the Notify Me page to be the first to know when the campaign launches. Link in bio.

[urban iron]

HYPED

rivals visible

"horrors of Hoxxes" is that the name for the new biomes maybe?

[dawn ibex]

no clue, rivals is obvious but horrors of hoxxes could be anything

the video game update of the same name added a lot of enemies that are already in the board game one way or another

[tardy merlin]

In case this hasn't been posted yet, here's the Kickstarter page for Rivals and Horrors of Hoxxes: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/moodpublishing/deep-rock-galactic-rivals-and-horrors-of-hoxxes

[keen sluice]

Man it's already a whole mission to try and bring the board game to gamenight as is 😭

[royal nacelle]

Get the Deluxe Travel Version

[keen sluice]

At this point it's easier to pack my pc for tts

[kindred gale]

Someone know what is this material coat called?

[kindred gale]

Also does somebody knows how can I get this kind od cardboard?

[royal nacelle]

Google wildly for online printing services.

[dawn ibex]

I think the game has quite a bit of variety with biomes and space rig, I’m not sure I need more

But damn I want more DRG minis

[royal nacelle]

I can recommend getting a 3d printer and learning how to make them yourself 😉

[dawn ibex]

I can not jump into another expensive hobby

[graceful oracle]

I have an extra set of plastic tokens for the Expansions (though the collector versions had cardboard tokens), does anyone want to get them? Giving them away.

[kindred gale]

I gladly take em, they always lacking when I play

[dawn ibex]

Are you in europe? I'd love to have them

[graceful oracle]

I'm in EU yeah.

[kindred gale]

Eu here too, what country you are?

[graceful oracle]

France.

Well if you want to help with expedition fees, I'm not against it. =p

But going to Rakso then.

[dawn ibex]

first come first serve

[graceful oracle]

This is what I see.

Sorry Nik. :P

[dawn ibex]

yeah same for me

I'm not argueing just stating the fact

[kindred gale]

Yipee ^ ^

Should I dm you now

[graceful oracle]

I sent you a DM already. :p

[ornate dock]

God dammit I got here too early Îm in France too so if the other guy changed his mind îll gladly take them

[graceful oracle]

He didn't, sorry. :P

[regal narwhal]

does anyone know the cheapest place to buy the board game from

because its not on amazon

wait are you supposed to 3d print the models urself

[tacit yew]

no

[regal narwhal]

I saw that stl files were included,does that mean I can chose to 3d models and get it for cheaper?

[tacit yew]

only for the miniatures

you still need to buy the actual game

[regal narwhal]

Yh

Tha

nks

[ionic zodiac]

what's ur pfp

[tacit yew]

pretty random question but its from Underdogs VR

very good game

[dawn ibex]

directly from mood publishing

or used

[royal nacelle]

You're not "supposed to" to only print the miniatures, but if you buy the Standard edition with the cardboard standees and then print the miniatures it could be a bit cheaper, depending on your access to 3d printing. You'd be putting in time and effort rather than the extra bit of money.

However since the expansions all have miniatures you can't get them cheaper, at best you could forego buying the mini expansions (Goo from Above, Bulk Detonator, Korlok) and print their miniatures instead.

[proven saffron]

https://www.gamenerdz.com/deep-rock-galactic-the-board-game-2nd-edition-deluxe-preorder it’s cheap on this site but idk if it’s legit or when it would come

I think they have delayed the release on their website

[dawn ibex]

interesting

gamenerdz is legit

[urban iron]

I was thinking maybe rockpox and corespawn?

[dawn ibex]

could be

I might get the Rivals to make use of my metallic paints

[urban iron]

We nearly have all the enemies of the videogame, and adding the missing ones wouldnt really be anything new

[dawn ibex]

but the expansions are so huge, I’m not sure

[urban iron]

septic spreader and acid spitter for example

[urban iron]

I am ordering them as soon as possible haha, love the board game

[dawn ibex]

yeah there is tons of enemy variety already

[urban iron]

maybe new dreadnoughts, but i doubt it

[dawn ibex]

I fear adding more mechanical depth might just slow the game down

and more enemy/terrain variety isn’t really necessary

we will see

[urban iron]

I think we might get new biomes, corespawn, and rockpox

would be an actual expansion

[dawn ibex]

I have a completionist urge and I like to paint, it will be hard to resist

[urban iron]

instead of just enemies that are pretty similar to what we have

[urban iron]

Im gonna start painting soon but school is keeping me busy...

[dawn ibex]

still painting the Sniper Elite Boardgame

should be able to finish them this week

[urban iron]

Those look very good

[dawn ibex]

I really need to know more, at the very least I’ll get the goo from above expansion if that is available through the kickstarter

https://tenor.com/view/desire-to-know-more-tell-gif-14280322

[urban iron]

Goo from above is a fun expansion

I have all the expansions (took me a lot of effort to find all of them)

[dawn ibex]

how would you rate each?

goo from above looks good with two important enemy types from the game

bulk detonator is too expensive for me for one enemy type

tyrant-weed has printing issues I’ve heard, which kinda defeats the point of the randomized tiles

[hushed marsh]

I think you summarized it pretty accurately there.
I really like the bulk det tho, while it is on the expensive side, it adds one more of those "oh shit" enemies.
The Tyrant Weed is also really awesome, but as you said, has some coloration issues.

[royal nacelle]

Still plenty of ways to use the Korlok, even if you don't want to do any of the simple fixes of being able to deploy it.

I've had my struggles with the Goo Bomber and Menace, but Bulk Detonator is a far more thrilling "uh oh" encounter.

Most statistically accurate way I've found without extra dice or anything is to designate one of the base hidden caves, if you flip it over then roll a creature die, if you roll a blank leave the base cave, if you roll anything else replace it with the Korlok. 10.4% chance of a Korlok (instead of the 11.1% 1 in 9 would give). Does lower the chances for the designated base cave, but eh. Pick one you don't like (or better yet randomize it every mission).

[dawn ibex]

I’ll be poor

[ornate dock]

I really hope the New expansions bring more event card because with all these new enemies type I hope we can see them not only in swarms

[urban iron]

you can see a small difference in color on the back of the tile. Just shuffle them and let someone pick them with their eyes closed and its fine

[ornate dock]

Also new dreadnough would be really cool but I don’t think it will happen

[urban iron]

It is a beautiful miniature

but yeah you dont see it often

Goo from above i see nearly every mission because it has event cards too

so i'd say goo from above 1st, then bulk (korlok doesnt walk so you can avoid it if needed), then korlok

they are all fun

but that is the order i would put them in

[royal nacelle]

With event cards though you'd run the risk of upsetting the balance by getting too many swarm threat ones, or not enough. I reckon having the creatures on the board at start, from swarm cards, or from mission specific events is fine.

[urban iron]

who knows, very excited about the horros of hoxxes expansion

[dawn ibex]

I’ll definitely get Goo in the KS then and maybe a big box if they make interesting additions

If they have a Nemesis model its over for my wallet

[urban iron]

oh that would be sick

[tacit yew]

i agree

what if horrors of hoxxes adds more event cards?

i dont think the expansions have added new event cards yet

[dawn ibex]

yeah thats such an oversight tbh

[tacit yew]

it should add new cards like "stabber vine attack" or something

[urban iron]

yeah

new biomes would be cool

but idk what enemies they would do

[hollow crow]

I'd kind of prefer if these expansions actually kept models a bit more limited so they can keep the price and size down. A couple of robots would be nice though

[dawn ibex]

They are major expansions, so I’d be surprised if they weren’t as big as biomes or space Rig

DRG is easily the most expensive board game I own

its a bit of a bummer since I’m certain the board game would have more fans if it was just a bit less expensive

100€ for an expansion is pretty wild as far as boardgame pricing goes

[obtuse flare]

We very likely get at least 6 rival enemies making it in (Shredder, Repulsion Turret, Robotic Appendage, Burst Turret, Patrol Bot, and of course the Caretaker) plus the miniatures for the 2 hacking stations and Hack-C

So yeah it's gonna be expensive

For other enemies I can see BET-C and the Huuli Hoarder making it in a special events, and the Twins as a second Dreadnought boss fight

[rotund garden]

Hey I wanted to ask if anyone had any recommendations, currently one of the biggest struggles I have is packing and unpacking the game. I thought that maybe I could buy some kind of large case for easier storage. Does anyone have any recommendations? is this something other people have done?

[royal nacelle]

You're shortly going to need a bigger box.. But yeah I've seen some, MrSevenGold has a plastic bin that perfectly fits everything (until we get the new expansions);
#drg-board-game message

[rotund garden]

not quite what I was thinking since my issue is unpacking all the boxes and putting them back together again, but I could just use plastic bins I suppose. trying to minimize the space it takes up so I don't need a seperate table just for the boxes lol

[royal nacelle]

I've seen people use soft inserts for the miniatures as well, so could get those and a regular bag or miniatures bag

[royal nacelle]

well some have made custom 3d printed inserts that hold the miniatures more snugly, so that you can fit the expansions together as well. It really depends on what exactly you're having trouble with and what type of solution you want.

Do you want to pay €50, 100, 150 for ease of access, or just get a cardboard box and stick some dividers in. shrug

[rotund garden]

I'll think it over a bit more, I don't mind paying since I really like the game and it would be worth it for me, but yeah I just wanted to see what some other people's solutions are

[neat mirage]

I've personally been doing fine so far with what we had, mostly because I didn't have to move all the stuff, except from one room to the next

but it's getting to the point there are way too much stuff laying around that you might need during a game that just keeping everything in the boxes is no longer gonna be possible

[royal nacelle]

Even with the base game I thought you kinda need a side table, just the normal stuff takes up the kitchen table.

[neat mirage]

you definitely need a side table, yeah

but now ? that's not gonna work

I'm not gonna get an extra table just for that

[royal nacelle]

I set up the table and the put stuff back in the other room. Don't mind the break of having to get up to get something the few times it happens. I normally don't even bring all the creatures to the table, so if I need that second praetorian or spitballer it's walkies time.

[valid fractal]

does anyone want to buy my drg board game? ($70 because i can't find anyone who want to buy it lol)

[kindred gale]

Do you think mood would provide me with exact drilldozer board dimensions they use to cut it if I ask them for it? Im planning on making 2 layered drill board

[hushed marsh]

Only one way to find out

[tacit yew]

go for it

[tacit yew]

i hope they do real stretch goals for the new expansions

not sure if i liked the freebie thing

[urban iron]

Probably will. Last time they reached 800% of the goal

[hushed marsh]

Both KS campaigns had real stretch goals if I remember correctly.
The expansions had freebies in addition to those.
So I think it's safe to say we'll get stretch goals again.

[dusk edge]

I have the 3D printed insert. Can fit all of the miniatures in one box. I decided to keep the books, player boards, and space rig board in a separate box. Will have to see what the expansion gives me. And yeah table space is a thing. 3 of us can play pretty well on my dining table and the pieces all stay on the 4th side

Heaven help me if we have a 4 player game

Unless it’s mission specific (like the dreadnaught) anything can spawn at anytime, so I need everything on hand

[south violet]

Hell yeah. I'm damn proud of the color matching on the Heartstone

Turbo Dork:Miami Sunset, with Warpaint Fanatic: gemstone red highlights, followed by titanium white in the creases with Warpaint Fanatic Effects: radiation glow applied liberally over it.

[kindred gale]

Taking notes 📝

[south violet]

The Miami Sunset is this cool red/purple colorshift that you have to put like 5 coats over a black primer but even by itself its so cool

[rustic breach]

I know Im 2 days late, but yeah, in my case at least you can easily spot it amongst other random tiles

oh wow! New expansions huh? Im thrilled

[dawn ibex]

I need to know more

[royal nacelle]

🎶 Tell me more, tell me more 🎵

[dawn ibex]

really cool

[supple mango]

gonna have to buy some bronze coloured paint for the new expansion

[dawn ibex]

just ordered a bunch of army painter speedpaints and a white primer

can't wait to paint this game

[urban iron]

That is beautiful

[kindred gale]

1. When do you think kickstarter will start?
2. How much do you think will mą n expansion cost?

[tacit yew]

im guessing the kickstarter will start in the summer

and i have no idea about the price but it will probably be cheaper than the biome and space rig expansions

[dawn ibex]

what makes you think it will be cheaper?

[urban iron]

I think it will be same price

or at least around the same price

[ancient prawn]

Given their past track record, they generally notify/make an announcement about 2 weeks before they launch the campaign

could be longer, but i'm guessing it's coming early april

[tacit yew]

i dont think theres much content left to add

we already have the assignment board thing and all the biomes

honestly if we have more biome board pieces i might actually lose my mind

theres already a lot of them

[dawn ibex]

if people want to buy more enemy types, either for enemy variety or minis, they will keep selling them

[tacit yew]

im curious what the horrors of hoxxes thing will be

[dawn ibex]

Unknown Horror Ghost that follows you around

sold in an expansion box with nothing in it

[lime jungle]

The previous expansions got teased on Sep 9th. 11 days later, the kickstarter was announced to be opened on the 28th.

But that could mean absolutely nothing for this one.

[royal nacelle]

There's an unlimited amount of content to add considering we've gotten custom missions and custom enemies (and weapons, grenades, etc). The board game is not limited to only having what's in the video game.

We also don't have all the biomes, they could well add Hollow Bough or Radioactive Exclusion Zone with interesting mechanics.

And if you think they won't add that much, wouldn't that contradict that they'll wait for summer to start the Kickstarter? Why tease the Kickstarter and wait months when adding little.

[cloud aurora]

I think they can add lots of stuff. Would be interesting to see new primary weapons for example. And they left like 5 biomes. I bet they can even make another set, one for each season, like rockplox + another random expansion.

I for one would even be interested in a small expansion that has more events. I feel after multiple playthroughs that more variety in event cards would be nice.

[royal nacelle]

Having extras to build your own deck with would be nice yeah, swap out ones you don't like (or there are multiple of), and put in some others.

[cloud aurora]

Yeah that would be neat, I believe it's a good idea for an expansion like goo from above price, and having more variety is nice. At least for me it's one thing that I would like them to improve upon.

[lime jungle]

I'm calling it now. Rival Nemesis will be under a mini expansion

Like how it was introduced the season after the caretaker

[royal nacelle]

Give people a reason to call it a DLC I suppose.

[cloud aurora]

Nemesis will probably be the bulk detonator of the new expansions yeah

[tacit yew]

isnt the point of the Nemesis to mimic dwarves? how would it do that in the board game

[royal nacelle]

No? That's just audio. It has no effect in the video game.

[tacit yew]

but lore-wise

[royal nacelle]

But even lorewise it doesn't work well enough to fool Dwarves.

[tacit yew]

hmm true

would be interesting to have an enemy that grabs the dwarf until someone shoots its weak point

like a super buff stingtail

[royal nacelle]

So like the Stingtail then..

[tacit yew]

it could hold 2 at once though

actually that might be too strong

[royal nacelle]

And it'd have to be weak enough that BOSCO can deal with it.

[tacit yew]

oh i think this expansion could also introduce those teleporting bombs that the caretaker and nemesis use

random tile takes damage every turn

[royal nacelle]

And how would you randomize tiles?

[tacit yew]

could be in relation to the boss

lets assume the caretaker is like the ommoran heartstone where you draw a card every turn

at the bottom of each card it could say "the tile 2 spaces away from the open eye takes one explosive dice damage" or something

an extra thing in every card

so unlucky dwarves/bugs take damage

[lime jungle]

or just make it that every dwarf rolls a creature die and takes damage on an '!'

And to make it less difficult you can choose to throw yourself to the ground before you roll a die

[tacit yew]

yeah that makes a lot more sense actually

predicting a bad dice roll and throwing yourself would be a really cool mechanic

[rustic breach]

I assume Rivals will focus on Robot Enemies and the Caretaker mission type

and Horrors will be biomes and or the more exotic enemies we've yet to see in the boardgame

things like the scale-bramble, trawler, stingtail, septic spreader

so in a way Horrors might be equivelant to the Biome Expansion, and Rivals equivelant to the Spacerig expansion

of course Im just blind guessing here

[tacit yew]

scale-bramble would be very fun

[royal nacelle]

Not only does the board game already have the Stingtail, but it was a board game original that GSG loved and decided to put in the video game.

[dawn ibex]

no rammer

[royal nacelle]

GSG deemed the Rammer to be too similar to the Qronar Shellback

[dawn ibex]

it would be cool if they went wild with horrors of hoxxes and just create a full set of new enemies

I want to see a septic spitter though

honestly septic spitter or nemesis would be buys for me

[ornate dock]

Septic spreader as area deniers would be great

Like they attack even if we are out of their range

[lime jungle]

I think goo sacks would be neat

[royal nacelle]

What'd be the point of them having a range then? xD

[royal nacelle]

I despise them due to people spamming voicelines, so no 😦

[ornate dock]

So they put the goo everywhere

[lime jungle]

I wanna physically point at a little goo sac and scream

[royal nacelle]

But them gooing you from across the map would kinda break things

Surely they can have a range and shoot at you like everything else.

[lime jungle]

Sounds very similar to the goo bomber but the puddles are harmful

[royal nacelle]

Yup

[lime jungle]

I feel like it being able to damage you from dice and then surround you with damaging puddles can be a bit op

Thr puddles would need a lifetime

Would like to see their take on the model though

[dawn ibex]

New Expansion: Drillevator, with magnetic glyphid minis and a crank to lower the elevator down a large tube

[dawn ibex]

yeah the septic spreader is an awesome looking enemy and I’d have to purchase just for that

[royal nacelle]

Got me wondering what its firing animation looks like, never actually seen it up close. Opened it in Blender and it just arches it back really, makes me think those little nodules on its back are the firing ports. (oops missed to hit reply to @lime jungle 's message)

So arched back with acid globs coming out would be a neat model, so it's shooting like the Goo Bomber but horizontal/vertical

[ornate dock]

I love goo

[dawn ibex]

Also that deep glowing red would look great on a table

does anyone have experience with painting the minis and putting them back in the game box?

Some of those insert spots are very tight and will rub off the paint, not sure if even varnish is enough to stop that

[royal nacelle]

Some have said it isn't, then again depends what varnish you use I'm sure. Some have taken to cutting away parts of their inserts, so create relief for the minis. You can also push in the little nubs that hold the minis in place.

I'd probably opt for soft custom inserts if I were to pack mine up in the box (I instead have them on display on my shelf)

[dusk edge]

Once you have the crystals connected you flip over the drill tile. Which then takes you to the geode tile. Collecting the seeds triggers endgame and you use the jet boots to fly to the drop pod

[urban iron]

or it could use a certain component like "altitude tracker" which has swarm icons on it, instead of swarm threat markers

[dusk edge]

That could work. Similar to the phases of the heart stone

[urban iron]

yeah

[dusk edge]

After each phase you check to see if the drill needs fixing

[urban iron]

yeah, drillevator cards maybe?

with events

[dusk edge]

Yeah

[urban iron]

"dense rock! altitude meter doesnt go down for 1 turn"

[dusk edge]

Would be its own deck. Like the heart stone

[urban iron]

yeah

[dusk edge]

Instead of drawing event cards, you start drawing drill cards

[urban iron]

yeah

[lime jungle]

MOOD has confirmed they can change the cards of the 1st edition to match the backs of the latest edition

They sent an email to anyone who made a claim about it

[royal nacelle]

didn't make a claim cause couldn't be bothered

ah well xD

[lime jungle]

If you send an email to support maybe they can still help

They just need a few details for shipping

[royal nacelle]

Maybe, but thinking back I recall opening up the claims page, and couldn't in good conscience explain why I'd have an issue with the cards as they were. At best I would do so to get extra cards to pad my deck, but don't really think that's fair.

[lime jungle]

That's fair. It's really only for aesthetic purposes

[viscid field]

The colour of the back is off too, so not only the missing rivets. I'm happy that they will fix it.

[tacit yew]

🥳

wait i dont think i got an email

i remember making a claim though

hmmm

[lime jungle]

Might be in your spam

[tacit yew]

not there either. ill probably send them an email

[hushed marsh]

What enemies currently in the video game, but not yet in the Board Game do you guys think could make the cut for the new expansions?

I personally feel like maybe the Barrage Infector could be a solid candidate. As an AoE stationary enemy.

[urban iron]

that would be sick, but also terrifying

[royal nacelle]

Why not a mobile Barrage Infector, like the infamous mobile Spitballer?

[hushed marsh]

If that ever becomes a thing, we might as well just abandon ship and move on to Hoxxes V

[urban iron]

Im not buying the expansion if thats inside

[hushed marsh]

Thanks, I hate it!

[hushed marsh]

They gotta pay me to get that thing

[urban iron]

haha for real

[idle finch]

Beautiful

[hushed marsh]

Beautifully disgusting you mean

[idle finch]

Beautifully beautiful

[dusk edge]

beautifully cursed

[verbal aurora]

why did you give it dwarf feet, why not just stumps XD

[waxen hazel]

Put down the 3D blender and printer and back away slowly.

[lime jungle]

Number 15

[royal nacelle]

It's a running joke (pun intended); #drg-board-game message

As I recall someone said how terrifying it'd be if spitballers could move, someone else photoshopped a spitballer with dwarf feet, and I had to double the number of feet.

[royal nacelle]

No, I'm gonna blender even harder now :[

[waxen hazel]

JOHNNO NO. Put it down!

[small rain]

do you can split damage of minigun to adjacent targets? or all three dices for one target?

[royal nacelle]

You can assign dice to adjacent targets following the assigning hits rules.

[small rain]

thanks

[royal nacelle]

If a weapon can only hit a single target it'll say so on the weapon.

[lime jungle]

The moment Johnno said "It's blendering time" and blendered all over those bugs

[waxen hazel]

Johnno was supposed to destroy the Dark Blenderers, not join them!

[strong arch]

Hiii, I just started learning the boardgame, and am yet to invite all my drg-loving friends to play! Is there any advice i should hear? And, having experience with too many computer/tabletop games that require mods/homebrew from the very start for the best experience due to poor balancing (bruh the videogame drg being an example with some its weapons, upgrades and the entire perk system), i'd like to know if there are any quick fixes or clarifications to the rules that I should hear about before I need to figure them out myself.

[scarlet narwhal]

for me, one in particular comes to mind; on the start of Driller's turn, any Flame Tokens on the board are returned to Driller. This was accidentally left out of 2nd edition's rulebook and several people have asked for clarification on it before

[strong arch]

thanks! Also, are flame tokens completely untraversable? Grappling hook mentions that it doesn't allow to move over them

And also I question whether scout can safely move over unsafe ground other than pits, such as ice, lava etc.

[lime jungle]

Think of it as a wall of flames

[scarlet narwhal]

yep, cant move OR see overflames

nades and engi's grenade launcher i think still see through it, since they ignore most LOS blockers, but I would double check that

[scarlet narwhal]

also yes

scout can ignore terrain effects like black ice, thick snow, lava river, the goo in fungus bogs

[lime jungle]

Although the 1st edition rulebook does say that dwarves suffer 1 damage if they move into one or more flame tokens on their turn

This was missed in the 2nd edition book

[scarlet narwhal]

ooh

i simply thought that it blocked dwarf and bug movement

[lime jungle]

And it does say that it blocks creatures' los but doesn't mention dwarves. So a bit of a grey area

Honestly same

I just looked it up on BGG then

If you have the 2nd edition rules;
Driller's flame tokens are retrieved at the start of their turn, you can walk into flames as a Dwarf but take 1 damage and the flame is removed.

Sentry Gun fires when creatures move into its range, activate within its range, or spawn within its range (once per phase according to rules, FAQ states once per turn, personally I find per turn hard to keep track of at times so I go by phase).

Ziplines can be placed "at an angle" as long as it's clear that they lead from one starting tile to a destination tile.

[royal nacelle]

Line of Sight rules mention that your LOS ends if it comes to a flame tile.

[royal nacelle]

When grappling yes, but not when finishing their move on a tile.

[lime jungle]

Got it. Missed that page

[scarlet narwhal]

forgot that part

[dawn ibex]

Can I throw grenades on stalagmites?

Also, for tokens you flip that require mining, I think its possible to grab them from an adjacent space?

For tokens you flip that don‘t require mining, do you also grab them from adjacent spaces, or do you have to move onto their space?

[strong arch]

Thanks! ... LOL I found first edition rulebook and it is so much more clear in several places, by using just couple more words. That's worse than d&d situation of "streamlining" the rules making them more confusing.

[strong arch]

No, you can't collect them from adjacent space, you have to move onto them or through them if they are not mineable

yeah a bit weird how you can't press [E] to grab fossil from adjacent space, but can suck up all gold from a lootbug this way

Damn, I also like how 1st edition calles digging and rock cutting actions landscaping and interior design

[royal nacelle]

Yep you can target any space in a cave, just not wall spaces.
