[strong arch]

oo i like this one

[strong arch]

whoa hold on, you are the guy whos video youtube gave me when i wanted to see if I want to try this board game in the first place. I guess it's no surprise you are active here

[gilded niche]

Actually it's been several months since I've been around, but glad to hear I was able to help sway you in one direction or another. 🙂

[verbal aurora]

ROCK AND STONE

opened it and imspecting everything in it
question, what are the models made of? plastic? resin?

(one of the brood nexus' had an arm onthe glyphid broke in transport, want to know what it's made of to best fix it c:)

pic

[royal nacelle]

PVC plastic, superglue should do the trick

[verbal aurora]

sweet, thanks man.

[royal nacelle]

Since it's a somewhat fragile piece you could reinforce it by drilling into both pieces (or using a needle, since it's kinda soft plastic) and insert a piece of paperclip or other metal pin. But yeah try superglue first.

Worst case if repairs don't hold you can email MOOD support and see if they can send you a replacement.

[verbal aurora]

oh yeah i was planing to do that, thanks bro

[scarlet narwhal]

did this when i noticed that one of my goo bombers had a printing error on the face, got a replacement within like a week

now i use the defect as a test mini for paints

[mortal topaz]

Q

[dawn ibex]

are the based of the mactera spawns warped for anyone else?

As in, they aren‘t perfectly flat?

[royal nacelle]

I had a heap of warped bases. Boil up some water, hold the base in the hot water for 20 seconds or so, then push it down on a flat surface or bend it with your fingers, then let cool or dip in cold water

[dawn ibex]

could I heat them with a hair dryer?

[royal nacelle]

Not sure a hair dryer would produce enough heat, you can try though

[dawn ibex]

did you use boiling water?

[royal nacelle]

well I boiled it, and transferred to a plastic tub.. so that cools it down a bit, and "worked" with the same water for a while.. you'll notice when it's not really not enough to keep the miniatures soft.

Tweezers or a stick or something to pull the miniatures up with in the beginning is a good idea, but the miniatures stay soft even when the water has cooled enough to use your fingers.

[dawn ibex]

worked somewhat, thanks

[royal nacelle]

Practice makes perfect, you can try it multiple times to get the desired effect. Particularly the ones with hollow rocks take some effort (I had a fair bit of trouble with my exploders, had to redo them a few times)

[dawn ibex]

holy batch painting

[royal nacelle]

@bitter hinge close your eyes, the grunts can't hurt you

[bitter hinge]

I will eat them, surely they can't hurt me in my stomach

[ornate dock]

Which primer did you use ??

[dawn ibex]

army painter matt black, then zenithal highlight with citadel grey seer from around 45°, then citadel white scar from directly above

will use army painter speed paints for the actual coloring and shading

[royal nacelle]

tsk tsk, not following written procedure. That's a paddlin'

[dawn ibex]

maybe some drybrushing later

whats the written procedure

[royal nacelle]

"Prime Black, Prime White" as you've on the desk there

[dawn ibex]

true

I fucked up

Though I could have probably skipped the grey seer

[ornate dock]

thank you !

[dusk edge]

[cloud aurora]

One of my Dreadnought's legs is almost ready to fall off as well, I fear it's almost broken as I barely held the thing once or twice.

I forgot about it, but my brother has a superglue for models so that's what I'll try as well I think

[cloud aurora]

I have some warped bases as well, hot water won't do any harm to the miniature right?

[royal nacelle]

Nope hot water just softens them up, and once they cool off they hold their new shape.

[cloud aurora]

Ah cool, you just have to make sure not to warp the mini in the wrong way

[royal nacelle]

As I said earlier you can just try again later if it's not to your liking, so there's no risk to fail as such

[cloud aurora]

Oh yeah you're right, well I'll try it once I have enough time, thanks!

[verbal aurora]

Well couldn't pin and glue it was a small part that broke and in an L shaped break
BUT, I did the super glue, here's to hoping it doesn't fall off in 30 minutes

[royal nacelle]

I often reinforce things with superglue on the surface as well, so could give it a bit to dry and then slap on some more glue on top

[verbal aurora]

ye i was thinking i may do that

[dusk edge]

Luckily I’ve had nothing break so far. Only thing I’m worried about is the stem of the goo bomber stand. The put some sticky stuff around for shipping and I almost kept it on. The urge to peel it off took over though

[royal nacelle]

I almost broke one of mine on purpose to make a pinning tutorial, but haven't bothered yet.

If more people had broken theirs I probably would've

[scarlet narwhal]

thats odd, mine didn't have anything on the goo bombers

[royal nacelle]

2nd ed? Perhaps they only did for 1st

[scarlet narwhal]

yea 2nd ed

[dusk edge]

You can see where it would break if it did

Have already told my child to be careful with it

[tardy merlin]

I thought the sticky stuff around the Goo Bombers were a feature? So I've kept it on to this day xD

[royal nacelle]

I hear it's for attaching your goo tokens to

[tardy merlin]

Ah, I see

[royal nacelle]

So you can move the tokens along with the bomber, then peel them off when it shoots

[tardy merlin]

That makes sense. Probably will need to take it off (temporarily) when I get to painting them (which should be sometime soon, finally!)

[dusk edge]

I had no idea that’s what it was for. I just place the goo tokens when they shoot. Although I have only ever faced like one or 2 goo bombers. They don’t come up as often as the stupid spitters

[royal nacelle]

Can always buy some new doublesided tape if you really want the stickiness xD

[dusk edge]

Spent whole scenarios being webbed

[royal nacelle]

It's not for that, I was joking. It was there to protect them during shipping (or possibly added while glue was still drying, to keep them together)

[dusk edge]

I’ll remember this when I go to my autism evaluation appointment. Lol

[verbal aurora]

morning report on brood nexus bros
as if it never broke
hellye

[verbal aurora]

also question
the linen game cards, never had cards like this i reckon so im unfamilair with their quality. would it be extremely smart t ojust get card sleeves anyway to future proof them?

[ancient prawn]

I got the sleeves, because I have kids in the vicinity of my games and adults who have a hard time with beverage uprightedness.

so i sleeve everything and anything that I can sleeve... i'm a serial sleever, if you will.

[verbal aurora]

"adults who can keep their drinks in the cups"
....yknow what
that alone is gunna have me buy the sleeves

because i too plan to get the beers and snacks out whenever this game is out

[ancient prawn]

For me it's not just this game, it's all games... but where there's a good amount of card useage (not as bad as a deck builder or draft-based game, mind you) there's still a good possibility of damage

[verbal aurora]

yeeee thats what i was thinking from my time in the TTS version

[dusk edge]

I once watched a guy spill water on his Firefly board game while setting up for a con. That game has a lot of small cardboard pieces

[fair flame]

Just got a "thank you for confirming" email from Sharon regarding the misprinted card replacement. Looks like things are moving along!

[dawn ibex]

the scanner is lighting up!!!

[dawn ibex]

drybrushed some of the rocks, will make some of the crystals sticking out red and gold

went a bit much on the thickness of the speedpaint, clogging up some of the detail on the arms of the grunts

[royal nacelle]

I usually drubrush/touch up details after, then again I'm using washes moreso than speedpaints. Suppose you might only have speedpaints?

[dawn ibex]

I got sets of both

not sure whether to drybrush the grunts, they don‘t have many edges. Might try some attempts at creating volume highlights

[plush surge]

The last two pieces for my collection have arrived! Thanks @valid fractal ! Also, he still has a 1ed kickstarter deluxe edition for sale!

[cold herald]

damm i still need that one

[dawn ibex]

Wait for the kickstarter for the upcoming expansions, I assume it will be available again

[cold herald]

i am grabbing robo asap when it kicking

[dawn ibex]

Goo from above is the only mini expansion i want, will see about the new wave

these bits of gold look cool

will probably give it all a soft brown wash and do another dry brush

[ornate dock]

These looks really good !

[dawn ibex]

I fucked up and broke off one of my praetorian legs

but cyanoacrylate came to the rescue

I double messed up because I used plastic model glue, which doesn't work on PVC

[plush surge]

Finally!

[dawn ibex]

this man really likes this game

[cloud aurora]

Yup, me too. I wonder when we'll get them. It's good cause I always wanted to have more event cards xd

[uncut basalt]

Hey y'all, here's my engineer. Any suggestions before I varnish it?

Just starting with painting. I've got Vallejo paints and access to an airbrush I haven't used much.

[royal nacelle]

Depends really on the aesthetic you're going for, I quite like it as is, could maybe use a black wash over the toolbox on his hip and the grenade launcher, otherwise looks solid. Chipped base could use a lick of paint unless it's what you're going for 😄

[uncut basalt]

Thanks! I'll try the black wash (watered down black paint, right?), and I'm definitely going to touch up the base before varnish. There's a hobby shop near me, and I bought all 4 types of Vallejo varnish they had to try - everything from ultra matt up to gloss.

I totally should (and will) play with this myself, but does anyone know if it's possible to change the sheen of the varnish after it's applied? For example, if I painted on a matte varnish, could I go over it with a gloss afterward if I don't like it?

[royal nacelle]

Yup I often just water down black paint instead of using bought washes. You'll have to experiment a bit on how thick it needs to be, if it's too thin you may have to go over it multiple times, of course better than too thick and whole thing turning black.

And yup you can just go over with a different varnish after. Keep in mind that some varnishes will mute the colours the more layers you apply.

Just to try it I'd recommend painting something 'sacrificial', like the bottom of one of the bases.. just paint it a colour you want to test varnishing, then varnish parts of it with different varnishes (if you have 4 you could split the base into 4 sections)

As in the underside even, won't ever see it on the table 🙂

[lime jungle]

The problem with just adding water is it can make the paint dry funny (coffee staining rings) or sometimes not adhere properly if you add too much. There are a number of recipes on the internet for homemade washes that include using water, along with iso. alcohol, windex, and/or even dish soap, to name a few.

If you want to make your own, I would recommend a medium that's made for acrylic paints. It will do the job without ruining the chemistry of the paint and save you a headache trying to figure out the best recipe.

Otherwise, just get a pot of black wash. You might end up using a fair bit anyways.

[copper sorrel]

Coffee staining appears mostly when you flood the miniature and left too much to dry. Just use a slightly damp brush to remove any excess and there will be no issue.
And yeah, a tiny drop of liquid soap will be enough to break the water surface tension and make a wash that will find every nooks and crannies. Still don't over flood your minis with washes, just do another one after the first is fully dried.
I'm a seasoned professional painter, I use pre-made washes maybe once a month or so.

[heady egret]

What does sludge pumps "2 damage after event" mean?

[scarlet narwhal]

once the next event card is resolved, enemies that were covered in sludge take 2 damage

[heady egret]

got it got it ty

[dawn ibex]

maybe paint the rim of the base red

[dawn ibex]

tasty

[royal nacelle]

No croppa?!

[plush surge]

Croppa is for greenbeards, real dwarves crave for that sweet, sweet Bismor

[dawn ibex]

the mineral die only has nitra and gold, right?

[royal nacelle]

Yup. I just got inspired when playing DRG Survivor, and ended up painting one of mine as croppa

[dawn ibex]

Ah I see

I think it helps with readability for beginners, this rock might give you x and y resource

will probably give these rocks a thinned down wash, then do another edge highlight and try to add white highlights on the minerals for a sort of reflection effect

[royal nacelle]

Make sure to paint a set of "worthless stalagmites" for the Spacerig expansion 😉

[dawn ibex]

nobody told me

[royal nacelle]

can 3d print a new set and cut off the minerals, so they're realistic too

[dawn ibex]

eh, if its a modifier its easy enough to remember

[dawn ibex]

nice minis

[royal nacelle]

oh I've forgotten modifiers so many times.. tempted to make models for all of them to remember them...

went a whole game only to remember at the end I was supposed to be playing with toxic creatures

[royal nacelle]

One of these days I need to take a pic of all my custom stuff xD

[dawn ibex]

I really want to try some glow effects with the praetorians, warden and flying creatures

I am making the glowing bits matte white, thinning down the speedpaints should be enough

and then drybrush

not sure how well that will work on the white warden

Also glad I did the batch painting of rocks and grunts first, definitely the most tiring part haha

[royal nacelle]

Yeah we've had a few people nearly burn out doing the grunts. I've done mine in batches of 3, and even that was tedious.

[dawn ibex]

its surprisingly not that bad with speedpaints

or unsurprisingly

just have to color the body now and fix up their teeth

I should be able to finish them today

just four colors basically

I might try adding some highlight with lighter browns on the bits that got too dark

[royal nacelle]

Yup, that's why they're called speedpaints xD

[graceful oracle]

Seeing an intruder there.

[royal nacelle]

dang elves

[plush surge]

They’re far apart enough, don’t worry

[uncut basalt]

@royal nacelle , may I see a picture of your engineer's face? I kinda struggled there, I think.

[royal nacelle]

sure, sec

Not that I did much other than paint the basic colours and slap on a brown wash.

Faces have never been my strong suit

[uncut basalt]

Thanks a ton! I think I'm going to try to paint the center of the hat badge a different color and add blue to the goggles like you did.

I might need to buy a smaller brush and use something to stabilize my hand. 😄

You also got the band over the bridge of the nose thinner than I did. I'm gonna take another run at that too.

[royal nacelle]

Looking closer I'm not sure I even painted it, there's a natural crease there kinda that pooled up some wash and darkened it

[ancient prawn]

hey Noodle

@grizzled raft Here is the link: https://moodpublishing.com/en-ca/collections/deep-rock-galactic

[grizzled raft]

Thx

[hushed lodge]

Has there been a guide or anything written for consolidating all the current expansions into one box, if possible?

[royal nacelle]

Only thing I've seen is someone made a 3d printed insert that allowed for that, but no real guide or anything

[hushed lodge]

That's a start. Honestly just tired of lugging this monstrosity around in a giant duffle bag.

[royal nacelle]

Ya know, it'll be obsolete shortly though... xD

[royal nacelle]

check yer dm

[hushed lodge]

oh there's no way I am buying the next expansion. The odds are exceedingly low for me.

[royal nacelle]

Fair enough, then the solution I linked you might be something you might wanna consider.

[cloud aurora]

I got one big transport bag for board games, hoping it would fit anything, but it's going to be obsolete most likely soon(TM)

[royal nacelle]

Yup™️

Is that only one dice tray?

[cloud aurora]

With some more clever positioning it can hold more but I'm afraid the expansions are going to be huge again

[cloud aurora]

Yes I'm afraid, I didn't spend the extra for a second one , but maybe if it's an addon again I will this time

[royal nacelle]

I'll admit, I custom made my other 2 dice trays.. but surely you need one for each player

[cloud aurora]

We mostly moved it on one side of the tablet, but I think it can work fine if you have one per 2 players. Honestly my table can barely hold the game by this point

[royal nacelle]

"one set per side of table" is a common thing, both for dice and dice trays

I went one dice set per player, and then did custom dice trays just because.

[scarlet narwhal]

for me, i felt I was already spending enough money on the base game and the expansions, so I only went for one extra dice tray and dice set, splitting between 2 players each

[royal nacelle]

Entirely fair, it's more a joke about the extra dice, I personally wanted one set per player as that's what I'm used to from tabletop simulator. I ended up getting 4 sets. I've seen a few people do the same, but often it's two sets, one for each side of the table.

[scarlet narwhal]

it is quite a nice convenience to have a dice set and tray for every player, and if I were getting the new expansions (which I unfortunately won't do, at least not for the time being), I would get an extra 2 sets and trays so that all players had one

I have this other board game (Dead by Daylight) where there are 5 dice, 4 of which are the same, where I split the 4 between the other players with the last one being for me, since usually in that game you only roll 1 dice at a time

i guess that could be seen as similar in a way

just without the extra sets, since for that BG extra sets are not available seperately

[hollow crow]

I’m impressed any of you transport the game at all. I’ve pretty much given up on being able to play anywhere but at home

[hollow crow]

I still really hope they are smaller this time around and that lets them offer a competitive price

[royal nacelle]

@neat mirage asked me to

(full scene to follow)

[tacit yew]

dead by daylight has a board game??

at this point its probably better than the video game

[scarlet narwhal]

it does

i've played it a few times with my family, very fun, and translates well to the tabletop

tho the DRG discord may not be the best place to talk about it, since this channel is for the DRG board game specifically

[tacit yew]

[waxen hazel]

That’s horrifying to read.

[neat mirage]

i didn't ask him to, tho

[waxen hazel]

You used your wizard powers to bend his will to yours.

[weak furnace]

We had our first session today. Successfully completed Missions 1 and 2. Kinda forgot to take pictures because we were having such a good time.
Rock and Stone!

[waxen hazel]

Are those pretzel sticks

[copper sorrel]

Looks like Grissini

[waxen hazel]

I want it

[weak furnace]

Yessir

[uncut basalt]

Just ran a Deep Dive with friends last night. Was a ton of fun!

Here's some house rules we normally play with/ modifications we normally make:

1. We kinda treat it like DnD lite. If it makes sense and the table agrees it doesn't break the game, we'll allow it.

2. Driller can walk into eggs to drill them (but but minerals or loot bugs)

3. Scout's flares were never getting used. So we made them a free action, and the flares get resupplied at a supply pod, similar to Gunner's shield generator.

4. We take creature resistances as per player turn instead of per attack. For example, if you're attacking a slasher with green ammo, it takes 3 total hits on your turn across all your attack actions (1 resistance, two health).

[royal nacelle]

You might've missed that Scout can use his flaregun as part of light-footed, as in after a movement action (instead of shooting or throwing) ? Limiting them to resupplies seems rather excessive. I myself use the flaregun a whole lot.

Keep in mind that resistances are there to limit/balance certain weapons, generally the "ignores resistances" weapon upgrade makes weapons really effective, you're playing with it on all weapons on the second shot (mostly anyway). For example the minigun really starts wrecking stuff. So something to keep an eye on at least, once you notice some weapons' effectiveness with said rule.

[uncut basalt]

Good points! You're right on the light-footed count. We missed that the flare could be used then.

I'll give it a shot with the resistances as they're written. Maybe we need to level up our game, but we've had a really rough time getting through missions playing the way we have. It's definitely not making missions a breeze.

We do run our "favorite" weapons a lot. We might need to branch out. We do try to make sure we've got every type of damage at the table, though.

[royal nacelle]

Yeah there are some powerful weapon combinations, freezing for example is really powerful so scout with an overclocked Bulldog revolver and GK2 or DRAK25 can put out heaps of damage. Same with Cryo Driller.

If you have the expansions, for DRAK25 that is.

and speaking of Cryo Driller, I'm working on a new one

[uncut basalt]

Cryo driller with a shotgun and an incendiary grenade on the opposite hip. 🙂 That's awesome!

We've never actually played with Driller's cryo canon. We're just getting to the point now where we're more familiar with the game, enough that we don't have to explain the times every time (we're all parents, and it's hard to make time to play with kids under 4 around).

[royal nacelle]

Cryo cannon can free action insta-kill mactera spawn (and goo bombers and naedocyte hatchlings if you have those expansions), the free action freeze is otherwise also very good crowd control. And as driller, you can use the free action freeze and then walk up to something and drill attack it, since you ignore pickaxe resistances.

So double damage on pickaxe rolls while ignoring resistance xD

[uncut basalt]

Yeah, we need to branch out and try other things! That sounds fantastic.

[dawn ibex]

I really dig these speedpaints

[raven fern]

Oh wow, that's amazing! Will you publish it somewhere for download?

[royal nacelle]

No this'll be a personal one

[raven fern]

Would it be legal for you to sure it and if so, would you mind sending me a copy?

Also, I reemerged to this chat for a totally different question. 😅 I've been painting my first miniature figure ever and it's the engineer from the board game. I noticed those weird lines, one can also see them on the packaging. (I mean the ones on his belly and front in general, but there's also one on his left hand.)
What are those lines? Apparently, they are meant to be kept red, but I don't know what they are supposed to represent. Is it just ornamental or is it some wires in his costume?

[royal nacelle]

would be legal, but I also mind. I made it for myself so I don't want to share it. I'm allowed by GSG to make commissioned models though, so if you want a custom dwarf I could make you one for payment.

[raven fern]

Ah, thank you! Let me write to you in private as to not clutter this chat.

[graceful oracle]

It's my turn to have a beautiful set of figures. But compared to many, I didn't used my talent (which I don't have) to paint them. Instead I hired a professional painter, duly remunerated, to paint my whole set. And he did wonders.

[uncut basalt]

original Jurassic Park fumbling glasses drop

Holy cow, those are pretty...

[ornate dock]

the rammer looks incredible

[livid venture]

That is incredible

[viscid field]

Since someone got a confirmation about their card replacement, has anyone else got that confirmation? Have send that email a week ago and didn't got a reply yet.

[oak tundra]

what the board game cost with all the expansion packs?

[dawn ibex]

retail price ~350€

[lime jungle]

It feels like that much at least

[dawn ibex]

add another 100 for all the minor expansions atleast

[ocean perch]

Board games will always be expensive

[dawn ibex]

nah this game is much more expensive than the average board game

Most board games don‘t come with a lot of miniatures and cost more in the range of 40-80€

DRG is alright because its produced very well, only thing that annoys me is the cost of the Space Rig expansions

100€ and very little actual stuff in there, only 7 miniatures

[hollow crow]

I think the original game is comparable to board games, as it had the standee version too. Expansions definitely into 'wargaming' price territory

[dawn ibex]

you can kinda rationalize biomes with something like 30 minis but space rig is just absurd tbh

its just cardboard mostly

[plush surge]

Some board games are like that. I believe that you should reason on your purchase based on your own finances first and then the value you personally give to what you're going to buy though.

[dawn ibex]

the game is good, particularely if you like the brand and painting minis, I can rationalize it, but I think the high price is the main reason why the game hasn't caught on that much with regular boardgame circles

[plush surge]

I bought it not just because i has disposable money for it but also because of how much i enjoy the DRG franchise as a whole and the fact that i have friends who would love to play it but dont have the money to afford it

[dawn ibex]

currently they are serving the venn diagram intersection of board gamers and drg players

[hollow crow]

same here. But even with that in mind, I did feel the expansions were pushing it on the price front. I think I have genuinely spent less on a 2,000 point Skaven army, and it's a bad sign when Warhammer is the 'cheap' option

but - I do deeply love DRG, and the board game is done damn well and a lot of fun

it feels tight and well designed, and gets the theme just right. I think I will probably get at least one of the new expansions to round things off

[dawn ibex]

Yeah same boat, another large expansion but thats it for me

its already difficult to travel with as it is

still don't have biomes which I really want for environmental variety

only have the main game and space rig right now

Also have Nemesis: Retaliation on pre-order right now which is coming with 100+ minis, I simply don't have the space

[plush surge]

I want this miniature in the next expansion set

[royal nacelle]

Movement 7, R1, ! = Dwarf is swallowed whole, forfeit your future turns while being digested. Dwarf is only released once the Barrage Infector is killed.

[plush surge]

I fucking love it

[dusk edge]

Find someone that looks at you this way

[royal nacelle]

reminds me of those 'talking plant' toys that wiggle, could actually make a physical version by taking the robotics from those toys and casting a rubber version after 3d printing the barrage infector xD

[plush surge]

Hahaha yes true

[royal nacelle]

hm, should I start making some custom Reclaimer Dwarves, to inspire MOOD into making a Rogue Core board game? xD

Could be an interesting expansion at least

[oak tundra]

seet thx

sweet

[dim obsidian]

[ornate dock]

WHAT they annouced it ?

[dawn ibex]

https://gamefound.com/en/projects/awaken-realms/nemesis-retaliation

funding period is over though

[ornate dock]

my bad i thought it was the drg board game

[dawn ibex]

does the light effect work?

[uncut basalt]

Yes, to me the one on the left shows lightening around the glowing abdomen.

I'm not the best painter. It seems like it's still missing something. I don't know what, though. Maybe a very light dry brushing of white on the abdomen itself?

[dawn ibex]

I think the light source is not quite bright enough

[copper sorrel]

It works alright. If you want to push it even more you will have to darken more everything not touched by the emitting light. Otherwise I don't think you can push more the vibrancy of the glowing part. But the left model works very well like that.

[dawn ibex]

repainted it white with a tiny bit of the contrast paint mixed in and tried to improve the light falloff

think I need to darken the right of the hind leg but otherwise I am satisfied

gave everthing a very watered down layer of the contrast paint to match the color a bit better

[thin tapir]

My dumb cat knocked some of the carboard pieces (1 flare, 1 webbed token) onto the floor overnight because of an ongoing game and they have been likely eaten by a roomba and lost. Is there any way to get replacements without repurchasing the entire game? I know I could make my own tokens but I like to have the official pieces when possible.

I was lucky I found the weapon upgrade tokens today, but upon counting my pieces and checking the floor I am definitely short a flare and web

[scarlet narwhal]

has the roomba been checked for the other pieces?

[thin tapir]

Yes, but it has been runa few times.

so I just happened to catch one in the latest run, but it ran yesterday and the day before. Since I have not been able to account for those pieces I am assuming they are lost

I was not sure if there was a way to order more of the cardboard sheets without buying a whole new game.

I am willing to trade the cat 😠

[scarlet narwhal]

my roombas have a hub that they occasionally deposit their contents into, does your roomba have one like that?

[thin tapir]

Not, it is a direct dump

We didn't know she knocked any over, so we did not think to check

Today was garbade day, so if they're gone they're gone

[scarlet narwhal]

you could try emailing MOOD but i'm not sure if they would be able to replace tokens. I had a mini replaced myself.

[thin tapir]

we've left other games out over time and never had an issue, soemthing about DRG got her riled apparently

Yeah I would be willing to buy/ship the sheets I just don't want to spend 100 on another a whole set

[scarlet narwhal]

alternatively, you could buy the plastic tokens which are about $30 USD + shipping costs

[thin tapir]

I bought the deluxe set, there's a plastic token set as well?

I may just buy that tbh

the plastic tokens

[scarlet narwhal]

I have no clue how good the plastic ones are but I do know that the pickup tokens are harder to setup with the plastic version since you can't feel the token in the bag to know which side is facing up

[thin tapir]

OK, I will probably buy a new set of pieces and dice just to be safe, probably the cleanest solution.

[scarlet narwhal]

just hope the cat doesn't knock another piece to the floor

[thin tapir]

Yeah we have played games with other small pieces (terraforming mars) and never had this problem

I think we just need to be careful and ensure the roomba schedule is off when playing a logner game

[lime jungle]

Thinking this would have been a broken build for the video game

Freeze an oppressor and immediately switch to the boomstick with double barrel

[royal nacelle]

Why I like it in the board game 😉

[lime jungle]

Make it more American

Or at least paint it with a Captain America color scheme

[urban iron]

Im 100% getting all of them hahaha, no matter the cost

[bright summit]

Anyone got a clue when the expansions are getting restocked for EU?

[plush surge]

They were briefly restocked in early march

[royal nacelle]

If not before then I'd reckon at least when the next Kickstarter ships.

[urban iron]

i wonder when the next kickstarter is.

[royal nacelle]

Soon™️

[bright summit]

Thanks!

[dawn ibex]

When my expansion was cancelled mood told me there are supposed to be new shipments arriving in late april (eu)

so not too long

[bright summit]

Oh great! Thanks for the heads up

[lime jungle]

Don't take my word for it, but I got a strong feeling it'll be within the next 24 hours

[tacit yew]

im not ready to spend more money

unless the new expansions also include those new fancy beer mugs...

[dawn ibex]

There's a board game???

[dawn ibex]

I think the glow works nicely now

[dawn ibex]

oh yes

[neat mirage]

it has been a while since last time

Days since someone discovered this channel and the board game: 0
and now we reset the counter!

[dawn ibex]

Dude this is so cool what

I had no idea

Imagine a Deep Rock rpg series...

I've got an idea

[ashen oar]

there is another expansion coming soon

so you might be able to pick up the board game then; but imma be honest the entire drg board game content collection is probably reaching $800 or something by now.

so probably best to start with the base board game.

[dawn ibex]

Where can I buy some? When I get the chance

[ashen oar]

hmm

https://www.miniaturemarket.com/searchresults/?q=deep+rock+galactic

[dawn ibex]

Obviously I don't have 800 rn but I can try and get the base?

[ashen oar]

pre-orders

[dawn ibex]

Oh thank you

[ashen oar]

you might be able to get one second hand off BGG

where are you located

[dawn ibex]

This would be great for my desk when I get a webcam...

[dawn ibex]

United States

I'm getting a tankard soon that says we're rich, it would look great with it

[ashen oar]

ok so probably best to get it from a retailer who has it in stock

im worried about the kickstarter, the tariffs are going to greatly increase the cost

some of the things i already backed are gonna get hit

[dawn ibex]

Yeah, it's definitely going to be a mess... but, as of now, it is what it is, I'll definitely buy it from them directly because I wanna support the game

They could come out with a digital version, like a DLC

[ashen oar]

you can try it on tabletop simulator

[dawn ibex]

I am unfortunately on Xbox, I don't have the ability to mod those things

[ashen oar]

aah

so either gotta put in a preorder or get it second hand, either way try to get one locally. Shipping on the kickstarters can be high

[dawn ibex]

It's fine I make bad decisions all the time anyway, I made the mistake of getting into Warhammer recently

Getting in debt has never been this fun

[ashen oar]

interestig that the DRG board game had nearly twice the backers as the Valheim one but.. only a little more money raised in total 🤔 a lot of people must have picked up DRG as an add-on on the valheim page, i'd be curious to know how many!

[dawn ibex]

Maybe people just saw dwarves and big tree game and just were like "yeah adds up" and grabbed it

Wait they made Valheim???

[neat mirage]

oh no 😂

[neat mirage]

they did indeed

[dawn ibex]

I didn't know that, that's really cool

[dawn ibex]

Think I‘m calling these done

[neat mirage]

they look great

[dawn ibex]

will clean up the edge highlights a bit and rim the base black but very happy with these

don‘t think I‘m going to highlight the spikes, they always look a bit off when I try

[dawn ibex]

I lied

[uncut basalt]

Looks great!

Personal preference/opinion - they look too clean to me. Are you going to get them dirty? I've tried to make all of mine look like they haven't had a bath since they've been born.

[ornate dock]

They look really good !

[dawn ibex]

not sure yet, I think I‘ll keep them clean for now

my glyphids are very tidy

I was thinking of giving them a minor wash

but if I want them to look dirty, I probably need to drybrush them with a bright brown

[dawn ibex]

something I want to make really disgusting is the brood nexus pumping out a grunt

worked well on these tentacles

[kindred gale]

There no rule saying I cant do so :D

[ornate dock]

Facts

[lime jungle]

The glyphids don't want to get rockpox

[candid atlas]

I know a lot of people added it on including me, as the expansions are not available in the U.S. atm.

[worn sierra]

Hey everyone, probably asked a million times, but any eta for the retail version in the us?

All Preorders say Q2 2025... 😦

[royal nacelle]

Depends what you mean by 'retail version'. There isn't really one, retailers purchase from MOOD, who mainly do production runs in connection to their campaigns. We've heard mentions that they might be restocking sometime in April, failing that your best bet would be to pledge for the upcoming Kickstarter, I'm sure they'll be selling the base game along with the expansions.

Here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/moodpublishing/deep-rock-galactic-rivals-and-horrors-of-hoxxes

[midnight maple]

Can scout pass through sticky goo and hot rivers or does do they also affect him?

[ornate dock]

Yes they can and itdoes not affect them

[midnight maple]

Scouts ftw

[royal nacelle]

He can choose to walk onto them normally, if he wants to, and they still affect him if he ends his move on them.

[worn sierra]

I have a pre-order from Gamenerdz, and them and MiniatureMarket both have them up with a Q2 2025 dare fulfilment, was curious to know if there was like an official date. I can't find the game to buy on the US 😦

[royal nacelle]

https://moodpublishing.com/collections/deep-rock-galactic ships to USA. Any "preorder" like that, that you find online, is slightly dubious. I've seen multiple stores pushing their dates for months on end, with no actual fulfillment.

There are no official dates, since there's no general/widespread retail releases, each store has to order their copies through MOOD.

[worn sierra]

understood this is super helpful

Thanks!

[royal nacelle]

Hope it helped, apologies if I seemed abrupt.

[worn sierra]

not at all, thats exactly the type of info I needed.

Rock and Stone!

[proven saffron]

Did your gamenerdz order also get delayed?

[urban iron]

6 flare icons (including the hidden cave) but 7 items. How?

There is a deep pit on top of it

[kindred gale]

just look into a 5th dimension, it should be somewhere around there

[urban iron]

found it, thanks

[rigid birch]

https://www.twitch.tv/dreffbuilder DRG board game miniatures painting Finale tonight

Finishing everything tonight

feat my brother

[hushed lodge]

A friend gifted me three SLS printed lootbug minis.

[scarlet narwhal]

if you paint, you should make one of them a golden lootbug

[hushed lodge]

That is certainly the plan, two regular and one golden.

[proven saffron]

Where did you get the stl?

[royal nacelle]

It's from the base game STL collection. You can buy it from MOOD

[proven saffron]

Thanks

does it include other models that you cant physically buy?

from mood

[royal nacelle]

No that's the only model that's not included in the game. Might actually need to check with MOOD, possible the lootbug was Kickstarter exclusive, I'm not sure now.

[tardy merlin]

I've just checked and the Lootbug STL is included in the base game STL collection. I got them from their BackerKit link but they can be bought on MOOD's official online store as well.

[bright summit]

Anybody got any suggestions to order the expansions in Europe (specifically Germany)?

I find the MOOD Publishing ones for 101€ a little too expensive..

[royal nacelle]

Doubt there are any available anywhere in Europe. You're likely best off waiting for the next Kickstarter, seeing if there's a bundle at a discount, else contact a local game store and have them order them as a retailer product. Even then I doubt you'll get them cheaper.

[hollow crow]

does anyone know when the new Kickstarter goes live? Do we think it might be delayed because of tariff stuff?

[urban iron]

Doubt that the tariffs will change soon. We dont know the moment it goes live though

[hollow crow]

US is considering increasing the tarrifs on China to 108% (from 58%), tomorrow. The game is produced in China

[ancient prawn]

made in china, shipped to EU

US Tarrifs don't mean anything in the equation.

[royal nacelle]

Also shipped elsewhere from China, no idea about the tariffs but US versions have previously been cheaper than EU versions.

[urban iron]

yeah exactly

[hollow crow]

surely it impacts the many US customers?

[ocean perch]

I assume so

[urban iron]

It will, but that doesn't mean they will delay it

[cloud aurora]

Well, hopefully it wont influence the game in a big way. We are closing in to one month after the announcement so hopefully soon?

[royal nacelle]

Campaign is gonna run for a bit, and then production etc, be a while before shipping so could well be things change before then.

[urban hound]

Hi! I was wondering if there was a place to order the Space Rig Expansion for the DRG Board Game. When I go to the official website it just says that it's sold out and doesn't look to have a restock date. But when I look through the Kickstarter it looks like I might be able to order it, but the title says "SOLD OUT EVERYWHERE" so I wasn't sure if that order would go through or not. And I'm not sure where else to look

[royal nacelle]

More than likely it's sold out everywhere. Your best bet is to wait for the new expansions' Kickstarter (coming soon™️, possibly a few weeks or so). MOOD have said they're looking to restock their webstore some time in April but we've no closer info on when.

[urban hound]

That's unfortunate, I'll keep my hopes up for April though. Thank you so much for your response!

[royal nacelle]

You can sign up here for an alert on the Kickstarter campaign at least: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/moodpublishing/deep-rock-galactic-rivals-and-horrors-of-hoxxes

[urban hound]

Thank you! I just made sure to do that

[reef smelt]

Kinda hoping they launch it soon, because there is already a Helldivers 2 board game campaign going on and the two at the same time are clearly out of my budget limit. 😅 Waiting to see what Mood Publishing cooked up before deciding which one to go for.

[dawn ibex]

I‘m not sure why you‘d back the Helldiver KS, there is so little info and Steamforged games has a pattern of strong license with mediocre game

[urban iron]

It looks quite good. Might get the bundle (not the hell commander but the one before that)

[tardy merlin]

Seeing as MOOD announced another project, Goat Simulator: The Card Game, before the new DRG expansions, it will probably be after that campaign has launched.

[dawn ibex]

I missed the big download rulebook button

I‘ll have a look

[urban iron]

When will that campaign launch?

[tardy merlin]

The launch date for this has been set to 30th April as was revealed in a Coffee Stain North YouTube video.

[urban iron]

Okay, how long will it last?

[reef smelt]

It's not even on KS, but a different crowdfunding site.
Also, there is a 3 hours long playthrough video up and I kinda like it. I do have some doubt regarding SFG however. But at the same time the Rival presence was my least favourite addition to DRG also, so even that expansion is questionable for me, whether I'm interested in it or not.

[dawn ibex]

I see

Yeah I am also not sure yet, I‘ll get biomes when its available again but 100€ for the expansions is pretty nuts

[urban iron]

100 per piece??

if that is the case the price has gone up

[dawn ibex]

its 100€ from moods page

I doubt crowdfunding is much better when you consider shipping cost

[urban iron]

Wow

[reef smelt]

Even the Space rig expansion is something I have strong mixed feelings about. The 2 new mission types are a nice addition, but the whole "Space rig campaign" stuff is something I'll probably never touch again. Adding extra layers of complications to the base game, makes the whole game session stretch out way too long, so much setup needed for it. We never managed to finish a single assignment like that and I find that pretty disappointing.

[dawn ibex]

space rig in particular is just too expensive compared to biomes, if you consider the production for each

they shouldn‘t cost the same

finally done with these guys

also painting more blood rage

[urban iron]

Yeah i agree

[urban iron]

I do like it but the price is a bit too high.

[royal nacelle]

A campaign was one of the main things players felt was missing from the base game though (many didn't feel the Deep Dives were complex/deep enough). I've myself played a few assignments but also taken parts of it to play in individual missions, so as such I think it gave a lot more than it might appear at a first glance.

[royal nacelle]

Production cost isn't the only thing you can look at when it comes to a product, especially when it comes to small production runs. If anything, that's when all other costs may well overshadow production. You can't expect a low cost because "it's just cardboard" when design, testing, artwork, etc has to be paid for.

[urban iron]

I agree!

[lime jungle]

Whenever we run out of time we just take a photo of the space rig and character boards for next time

[ionic tiger]

rock and stone!

[rigid birch]

I managed to finish all the board game expansions and touched up on the base game minis, don't wanna spam them all here and imgur is being a little slow with all those glorious images I took. Oh well.

when I get the gallery updated with all the images I'll send it here

[latent torrent]

I want a few of these, indepedently of the game itself.

[stuck marsh]

ok i love this one!

[royal nacelle]

Full team picture soon™️

[worn sierra]

Quick rules questions team: If I place a turret wihin range 2 or 3 of a Tunnel exit, does it fire a shot as the creature spawns? lets say turret is range 3 of a target that is M1 does it fire one shot every time that creature moves 1 space per event activation? finally how do you get more Rock and Stone cards during a mission? I know we get one on setup, but how do you get more?

[royal nacelle]

Sentry Gun fires when a creature spawns, activates, or moves, but only once per turn per creature.

You can get R&S cards from killing certain creatures, they have a card icon on their stats

Spitballer, Praetorian, Oppressor, if you're playing the base game.

[worn sierra]

Awesome!

[royal nacelle]

Don't think I posted finished pics of the Gunner

[median ice]

Stingtail!

[lime jungle]

that's so clean!

[royal nacelle]

Hm, pirate themed board game team? xD

[tardy merlin]

That's pretty dope!

[kindred gale]

Just updated the soundboard on scratch, added set up ost (the descent) on request

that's so relatable

[kindred gale]

My "Must be" on Rivals Expansion

[median ice]

I'm torn between more minis and redoing my storage solution again.

That being said I riot if no Hack-C

[tacit yew]

really good prediction

[steel escarp]

I feel like 2 gens is too much

Caves are pretty small

[kindred gale]

I feel like they would be like pump jack sized and albo appear on uncovered hidden tiles

[charred robin]

Hi y’all does anyone know what happens when the Korlock spawns weeds after being hit with the sludge pump. Does it still take 2 damage? Would seem strangely unfun if the clam becomes invincible before it could take the 2 damage. Sludge pump is already cheeks as is

[urban iron]

yeah, definitely

[urban iron]

Should be doable, just like with pumpjacks on flare tokens

[dawn ibex]

I need a Nemesis

[plucky furnace]

I am interested in the board game, however I live in europe, where would I be able to still purchase the game?

Also, I can see a lot of expansions for the boardgame, are any of these still available for purchase or is it only through second hand/luck

[royal nacelle]

It can't take damage while invulnerable, and it's invulnerable when more than two of its parts are up. And since the additional sludge damage happens after the event phase, it can't take damage.

The sludge pump's damage potential per ammo is already beyond many other primary weapons, I don't see why it would need "fun" stuff like never having a downside.

[royal nacelle]

https://moodpublishing.com/collections/deep-rock-galactic still has copies as far as I can tell. Expansions will likely be restocked during the next Kickstarter Campaign (you could also wait for it and get everything in one go); https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/moodpublishing/deep-rock-galactic-rivals-and-horrors-of-hoxxes

[plucky furnace]

Sick thank you!

[royal nacelle]

Think I forgot to share this, gathered the courage to give my Engi eyes, it's one of those things I hate to mess up so I put it off for ages. Worked out well tho

[marble wren]

Wonder when Rivals KS will go live or if will be held due to tariffs.

[strong arch]

I suspect that like salvage, the mission progression would be significantly simplified, especially the hacking part

[charred robin]

That’s what I figured, just making sure. Only seems strange since sludge pump is supposed to make up for no fire wall CC or stun CC with high damage, but the korlock is the only case where that even upon a hit the extra damage is voided. Thank you for confirmation!

Sludge pump’s DoT damage also ignores all resistances. I will assume that also means Korlock’s invincibility is not considered a resistance

[royal nacelle]

There are enemies you can't freeze, so doesn't quite hold up. Dreadnought is another case, unless you want to argue that the damage takes place in the next Dwarf's turn, in which case the next Dwarf can't hurt it.

Invincible means exactly that, it's not a resistance.

I haven't quite sat down to consider the Warden's shield either, since it's not a resistance and does negate damage that too would come into play.

Not sure you could argue that the damage goes through, if the initial attack doesn't.

Or just add the initial attack's damage, so you could still do 1 damage from the after effect, if you did 1 damage initially.

[charred robin]

Yeah it cancels “2 damage per attack” and the pump’s dot isn’t considered a second attack so I would probably rule it as going through after an event (assuming at least 1-2 dmg was done)

[royal nacelle]

Either way, different weapons have different mechanics, they're not all "supposed to make up" for A or B compared to a different weapon. They're all fairly balanced but do different things, nitpicking over how one does something against a Korlok but another doesn't is taking it a bit far. As noted, you can't freeze the Dreadnought at all, so Cryo Cannon isn't the best option. Sludge Pump isn't the best against it either really, but can make up for it by being useful for the rest of the mission, leading up to the encounter.

Cryo and Sludge can be powerful while getting to the Dreadnought, while Flamethrower is often better as crowd control (at least with my flame dice rolling).

[charred robin]

I agree. I was confirming for another player since the twos interactions aren’t listed anywhere. I do think sludge is harder to use with no upgrades than the driller’s other options but that isn’t much different from the gunner-thunderhead experience —- that is, a challenge that you’re rewarded for taking with a bigger damage snowball than most weapons

[spiral belfry]

3 pipelines tho

[cloud aurora]

At this point one month has passed since the announcement. I wonder if the tariffs delayed the release on kickstarter or if it's just not ready yet.

[urban iron]

they will probably start it (or at least give us more info) once the goat sim card game is done

[uncut basalt]

Any critiques or suggestions for improvement?

[waxen harness]

maybe add a slightly darker tone to the "tip" / "most outer point" of the blue parts, if you know what i mean

like how you've done on the horns but a bit more and on the lower swirly bits

[uncut basalt]

Thanks for the feedback! I'll consider that. I'll have to mix a custom color to do that, but I think it could look really cool. You're right. Real plants are rarely so evenly colored as I've made this one.

[dawn ibex]

I think you would benefit from a wash to darken the recesses of the miniature more

[dawn ibex]

I‘d suggest the exact opposite, tips and edges should usually be highlighted, not toned down

Currently the miniature is very bright and could use more tonal range (contrast), but open/exposed parts are more easily reached by lights and shouldn‘t be darkened.

[dawn ibex]

generally speaking, imagine light coming from above the miniature. Miniatures are too small to capture light in a realistic way (as in, realistically representing a full scale size of what it is modelling), so we paint shadows and highlights onto the miniature.

Properly painting volume on the entire miniature takes a long time, but with a wash/shade you can darken the recesses, generally tone down the miniature, and then give surfaces facing up another pass of the colors you have already used to bring them back to their current brightness, for a basic highlight and more contrast.

||I‘m far from an experienced painter though ||

https://youtu.be/W8uCKcF3aUc

[lyric sapphire]

When do you guys think the new Board Game Expansions be released?

With all this new DRG announcements you'd think we'd get some more info by now

[royal nacelle]

Don't really see any point in playing the guessing game. Could be in a week or two, could be in a month. And even then it's not a "release", it's a Kickstarter campaign that'll run for about two weeks or something, and then we'll have to wait months upon months before we get the physical copies.

The original campaign was 5 weeks between announcement and campaign start best I can tell, the expansions was 3 or 4 weeks. So could well hear something in another week or two, but even then we'll just have to wait and see. Getting your expectations up by guessing or hoping or thinking when the campaign will go live inevitably is likely to set you up for disappointment.

[lyric sapphire]

😔

[dusk edge]

This just gives me more time to save up for when it does come out

I still have lots to play through

[errant crescent]

No clue. This is what I was going to ask

[hushed lodge]

Yeah either way nobody's getting their hands on the new expansion for almost another year.

[kindred gale]

What was the time gap between expansions kickstarter start and stuff getting added to tabletop simulator?

[royal nacelle]

A few weeks.

[dawn ibex]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JliuYGxdLY8

the boardgame industry is currently being murdered, so who knows

mood is a danish company but a large portion of their costumers are US based

[pine ridge]

does anyone know if there is like a coloring guide with specific colors (i have color vison funkyness and dont wanna botch it)

[royal nacelle]

It's very much down to taste, only comprehensive painting guide I've seen was made by @bitter hinge , here's the link: https://imgur.com/gallery/deep-rock-galactic-painting-guide-UulTULs

I'm sure others have made their own as well but none come to mind right now at least.

[bitter hinge]

at the end of the day they are space bugs and can be any color you want!

[winged monolith]

Your previous answers are very appreciated when doing a research.

[kindred gale]

Will you do expansion tutorial? The first one really helped me in painting

[bitter hinge]

Sounds lovely, but I 1) switched paint brands so colors may be similar but names wont be but more importantly 2) havent painted my xpac yet. I've had it for a year

[gloomy finch]

Rock and Stone brothers!

[tardy merlin]

Managed to get away and prime my minis finally! Thought Easter weekend was a good excuse to get 'em done, and the weather was nice, which helped. Now have something to work on in between getting my Uni work done! Woohoo!

Rock and Stone!

P.S. This is not including grunts and stalagmites as they've already been done beforehand.

[viscid field]

In case someone has the standard edition, printed itself the STLs and wants to have it in one box: https://www.printables.com/model/1271200-inlay-for-deep-rock-galactic-the-boardgame-standar

[winged monolith]

• Since creatures walk on the sides of pits, is the yellow path legal?
• Would that change depending if the creature is flying?

[royal nacelle]

Yellow is not legal, yes flying creatures would move straight across. As I recall there's even an example image in the rulebook, page.. off the top of my head, 25 or 26.

[winged monolith]

Thank you. And that was the right page yes (25).

[kindred gale]

Walking only on the sides of pits your saying. Well, thats very convinient, good think I new it before all along and didnt turn every creature into a pit version of jezus c:

[regal narwhal]

why can you 3d print the models? is it cheaper or just in case some get broken

[royal nacelle]

In case stuff breaks, or if you want more of some creatures. Or extra Dwarves to paint differently, etc. Really up to you.

[dusk edge]

I was playing this wrong until my last game

[spiral belfry]

I always assumed the enemies just walked down the holes and back up, lol. Still probably going to run that way because there's not much tension as is

[nocturne dirge]

yeah I find myself soloing haz 5 missions because of my discipline from the video game

I might add some difficulty mods next time I play

[past sequoia]

Hello I just got the deluxe version in the mail and unfortunately the oppressor miniature broke off the base in shipping. Any ideas on good ways to fix it?

[scarlet narwhal]

you could email mood publishing about a replacement, and they will likely send a replacement for the oppressor, or use plastic glue to stick the Oppressor back onto the base, making sure it is in the right spot

[royal nacelle]

Superglue will do the trick. Do not use plastic cement, won't work.

It's PVC, plastic cement won't be able to melt it.

[scarlet narwhal]

my bad, i have plastic glue and recently used it on one of my own minis and it worked perfectly, i guess the two are made of different material

[royal nacelle]

What type of glue is it actually?

[scarlet narwhal]

container does not say, but it is Citadel brand

amazon lists it as "plastic adhesive" and its a liquid

[royal nacelle]

guess your mileage may vary then, but glues intended for polystyrene generally won't work on PVC. I tried my own and it didn't really do anything to the plastic.

[past sequoia]

Thank you for your help!

[dawn ibex]

yeah super glue worked instantly for me, plastic glue you use for gw minis won't work

cyanoacrylate specifically

[spiral belfry]

My friend showed me a super glue and arm & hammer trick that worked wonders to put the oppressor back on my rock after I dropped it

[muted osprey]

I'm considering getting the DRG board game next pay, is it worth it?

[hollow crow]

I would say yes, but it does depend a bit on your gaming background. For me it’s a really fun game to play with friends casually, but isn’t at the level of complexity and depth of something like Gloomhaven

It’s fun to have a beer and play with friends, and I really enjoyed painting the models and seeing how they adapted the game

[muted osprey]

Sounds like my kind of game

[hushed lodge]

Be prepared for long setup and teardown times if you don't have a dedicated space for it. It helps a lot if your buddies are there to help you set up.

[bitter hinge]

literally one other person who is willing to help read and build the mission speeds the game up so much, very true

[plucky furnace]

Does anyone have any experience with buying the game from MOOD directly? I bought the deluxe edition today from them directly, money was taken from my account. But I have not received any confirmation of purchase or confirmation the order was processed...

I really want this board game, but I am afraid something went wrong and I just completely threw away about 180 euros...

[royal nacelle]

You can email [e-mail], anyone else's anecdotal experiences won't help you in any way compared to contacting MOOD.

They've ran multiple successful Kickstarter campaigns over several years, and I haven't heard of anyone losing their money when ordering from them, but if something did go wrong then you need to contact them, and not talk to random people on the internet.

[spiral belfry]

I'm hosting an event at an RPGcon tonight. I am very excited, I've brought all the expansions and allotted 4 hours to make sure we have time to learn and explore

I'll take pictures once I get the game set up, in about 9.5 hours

[plucky furnace]

Already did contact them on this topic and am now just waiting on a response.

The reason I posted the question was to see if this was a known problem just so I can gauge the possibility of finding a solution.

Nevertheless, thank you for your response.

[royal nacelle]

The known thing is that it's a small company that generally handles orders once a week. And you may have to wait equally long for a response from support. Depending on how long ago you placed your order you'll just have to be patient.

Whenever you successfully deal damage to a creature, place the appropriate amount of damage cubes next to its miniature.
Each damage cube reduces the creature's health by 1. When a creature has zero health remaining, remove its miniature from
the board. Killing a Spitball Infector, Praetorian or Oppressor also allows the active Dwarf to immediately draw a Rock ‘n’ Stone
card. The card symbol shown on some of the creature cards serves as a reminder for this."

Would that mean that a Spitball getting crushed by the pod arrival is not rewarding a R&S card?

[royal nacelle]

You wrote it out yourself, the active dwarf is rewarded with a card.

[winged monolith]

Sure, but the active dwarf is not dealing the damages himself, even if he's active, so I was wondering.

The "killing" is maybe not defined as possible by both a dwarf or "environment"

[royal nacelle]

Play whichever way you want, but the active dwarf part means that if you kill something in someone else's turn then they get the card.

[winged monolith]

I wanted to do that yeah, wondered how another person would play it. Thanks Johnno

[royal nacelle]

Or interpret it as the one dealing the killing blow, and don't draw a R&S card.

although, the Spitball infector growth card states 1-3 spaces, so you can't ever have the drop pod crush it

unless you use some special rules of your own making, in which case you have to make the decision anyway

[scarlet narwhal]

2nd Edition's spitballer growth card says that you can also place the spitballer on the drop pod spaces as long as it is not currently there (ie: requires all dwarves to leave the pod, and mission objectives cannot be complete)

[spiral belfry]

These were our RPG con games

[royal nacelle]

lookin' good

[spiral belfry]

Two total victories. They were pretty good, for green beards

[reef smelt]

Whoops, turns out that's another rule I've been breaking accidentally all this time ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[royal nacelle]

Makes a bit of difference once in a while but it's not really that much of a gamebreaker I reckon

[dusk edge]

it can help funnel creatures towards my turret

[winged monolith]

I was about to post a question about Q'ronar's knock back until I saw there's 2 icons : 1 for knock down, and 1 for knock back. Sneaky little arrow

[winged monolith]

How do you guys calculate Oppressor's path: like other creatures, or tracing through walls?

[royal nacelle]

Shortest route possible toward closest dwarf.

[winged monolith]

I understand but in pic related how would you play it

[royal nacelle]

which Dwarf went last?

[winged monolith]

Actually none. How would it change the pathing?

(I made it up to illustrate)

[royal nacelle]

as per rules enemies go for the Dwarf that last took their turn, if several are at the same distance.

So either the Oppressor takes two steps toward Gunner, straight down through the wall, or goes for Engineer, not even having to go through a wall

[winged monolith]

Alright so the Oppressor, when "tracing" its path line, is allowed to trace freely through the terrain, right?

Or is it all creatures that can do it?

I mean so far, I never counted walls in the pathing.

[royal nacelle]

well creatures don't normally crush walls... but if you read the oppressor's rules, it crushes the walls and creates tunnels.

So yes, it's allowed to trace freely through walls, since that's in its rules.

[winged monolith]

Alright thanks for your input. When I read the description my first guess was what you said. I had a real case were flame tokens would made me question the principle.

Since if no path is traced, creatures should not move. But the opressor will just calculate his path through walls

Hence bypassing the flames

[royal nacelle]

well yeah, why would it not move when it can destroy walls..

kinda its whole gimmick

[winged monolith]

Well I rather check with the pro!

[dusk edge]

I don't often come across the opressor, so this is good to know

we often debate if a dwarf has to be standing behind the opressor or praetorian in order to hit the weak spot, or does it just need to target the space if it's within range

in the video game, if you line of sight to the weak spot, you can hit it

[royal nacelle]

The diagram on the various enemies (praetorian, oppressor, dreadnought, etc) shows which spaces you need to stand on to negate the resistances.

[winged monolith]

Would you consider a platformed pit as a vacant space to apply the Bomber's goo? (since pit by itself should not be covered).
What about a mined red sugar space with cubes on it?

[royal nacelle]

I would consider any space you can walk onto, and stop on, a vacant space for the bomber's goo.

[kindred gale]

I love checking my email daily every 2 hours so will get that sweet first 24 hours bonus

[worn kestrel]

Painted gunner today

[dusk edge]

Very nice

[lyric sapphire]

So I have a question, does anyone have any idea if any of the expansions will be restocked? I just checked their website and all of the expansions are now sold out

[royal nacelle]

There's been talk that they're looking to restock shortly, else I'm sure things will be restocked after the next Kickstarter campaign.

[dawn ibex]

I asked support just yesterday and their shipment arrived that day in europe, but will take a week or two before the inventory hits the store

[lyric sapphire]

Thank you

[lyric sapphire]

Any info on the US yet?

Or just Europe for now

[dawn ibex]

US I have no idea, I asked specifically about europe

[lyric sapphire]

I see

[dawn ibex]

maybe ask moods support mail, I‘m sure they don‘t mind

US might be different because of tariffs

[lyric sapphire]

I know it’ll be a lot of money but I’m willing to pay

[lyric sapphire]

I’ll try this thanks!

[tardy merlin]

Not DRG Board Game related, but MOOD have launched the Goat Simulator: The Card Game Kickstarter!

[urban iron]

Came here to say that, I hope that now that they launched the kickstarter they will give us some information about the DRG expansions!

And after the host simulator card game kickstarter ends I hope to see the DRG expansions kickstarter

[ancient prawn]

Card games are pretty safe given the current climate

I don't expect mini games to make much financial sense right now with all of the unknowns

at least card games can be more reasonably costed/printed elsewhere

Yeah, looking at it, it's all stuff that can be reasonably "locally sourced" instead of relying on foreign manufactories

[urban iron]

I expect some news

[royal nacelle]

Better not to expect stuff. We'll get news when we get news.

[hollow crow]

Yeah, the US market makes up so much spending for a typical project that any company with the option to delay in the hope of a deal will do so

[tardy merlin]

Just for context, the fulfilment of the Goat Simulator card game is currently February 2026 (but is subject to change).

So, yeah, don't expect much for a little while regarding the new DRG expansions.

[vivid sand]

With Kickstarter they don't charge you until the campaigns over right?

[ancient prawn]

Generally speaking, yes.

Some will even provide a longer period of leniency, and only charge you when the backer surveys come out

case in point: the biome and space rig expansions kickstarter payments were due to process in early december, and Mood pushed it back out to mid-late january.

[strong arch]

okay okay, i want to know if i understood these rules correctly:

1. dwarves and creatures can move through but not end move on pickaxeable tokens (lootbug, alien egg, sugar)?
2. creatures can move through and stop on poison shroom tokens without destroying them?
3. if there is no clear path to dwarves because other creatures or fire blocking the way, activated creatures do nothing, not even try to get closer?

[royal nacelle]

1. Dwarves and creatures can end their move on those tokens.
2. yes
3. Creatures try to move closer, the only time ground based creatures (other than ones that can break walls) won't is if the path is entirely blocked off, which only happens when a stalagmite falls in a tunnel/path 'physically' separating the caves.

Creatures can move through other creatures, so the path isn't blocked in that sense. And fire is a temporary blockage.

[strong arch]

delux rulebook confuses me once again, i shouldve looked in the other one

[royal nacelle]

Which part was confusing?

[strong arch]

the lack of all those details about trying to get closer, that i see are present in the older book

[royal nacelle]

I see them in the 2nd ed rulebook too

[strong arch]

well maybe im blind

[royal nacelle]

Activation page 24.

[strong arch]

okay okay, but uh, if there is creature and token on the same space, i can pickaxe chop any one of them?

[royal nacelle]

You choose what action to take with your pickaxe hit, yes. Page 15 even states "even if there's a Dwarf or a creature on it."

[strong arch]

yeah, it looks like my reading comprehension went to shit when i both read and re-read that page. thanks for the help!

[kindred gale]

Does somebody knows whats the current mission generator app status? Last update I remember was that app got taken down by google play and creator was trying to get it back up with mood

[royal nacelle]

If it's not up then it's down.

Last update I see on March 10th was that SirSamson was looking at other ways to share the app.

[strong arch]

i started painting the minis in Tabletop Simulator because the default ones use absolutely excessive amount of polygons for TTS, but you can't see any detail because they look like a blob in that engine if you don't add texture.

[royal nacelle]

Your statement is in stark contrast to how I've had to decimate models or remove detail to even get them into TTS xD

[strong arch]

no, no, that's what im saying. The models i extracted from the deeprock TTS setup are huge. I had to decimate it to be able to reupload it with UV map for the texture to stick

[royal nacelle]

They may be huge for UV maps, but they're by no means huge in comparison to even the default models extracted from the video game. The limitations for models in TTS feels excessive for me, but understandable when you have a heap of them.

[strong arch]

yeah, these are big only by TTS standards, especially for a tiny miniature you will almost never see up close. I think they probably just uploaded the same models used for producing physical figurines

[royal nacelle]

uh, no. Production minis are in the 3 million vertice range, TTS has a limit of 25k. Filesizes are 500mb vs TTS a few hundred kb at most.

Models extracted from the video game can sometimes be used for TTS straight off the bat, but some models have to be decimated. But for resin printing I subdivide them to be hundreds of times more detailed.

[strong arch]

the ones i got from TTS setup is in 90k range and slightly over 2MB

as i learned, the vertex count and filesize are not hard limits, there is some bs going in the background that causes the things to fail to load if the model is too complex

in any case without UV map and texture, the lighting engine in TTS just makes custom models look like a dirty blob

[royal nacelle]

Some of it is how you set the model up in your 3d software too, they come out different depending on your chosen shading and material. Makes a difference just shading them flat before exporting in Blender.

[strong arch]

what does that subdivision do (i only started blender literally yesterday to edit the gunner model)

[strong arch]

I think that's aesthetic preference, because me and me friends are printing our glyphids with the computer game's polygonal feel

[royal nacelle]

Sure, but means they can't take the files used for production and stick them in TTS when they have millions of vertices. And when I make my custom models for printing I can't stick the same model into TTS, I have to decimate the hell out of it.

[strong arch]

yeah.

[royal nacelle]

As said, sometimes have to decimate down the models extracted from the video game, when I started out I didn't know about all the extra functions so I modified a breach cutter by hand to remove extra detail, just so I could get it into TTS.

[strong arch]

when talking about printing here i also briefly forgot that other types of printing exist than cheap plastic printers

nobody wants to see that, i aint even gonna post such things here XD

[royal nacelle]

Liquid green stuff and buncha sanding can get you quite far, my first handful of DRG minis were printed with filament, and now the fancy printers of today.

[strong arch]

i wish i could play with minis with my local friends at the same time i play on TTS with friends from other countries

[royal nacelle]

that was my first additional DRG mini

[strong arch]

glyphid minis are also excellent d&d enemies

[dusk edge]

D&DRG

[plucky furnace]

Do we think the original expansions will make a return when the new expansion launches on Kickstarter or am I just extremely unlucky and will never own all the expansions?

Like I swear to god I got the board game today, played a solo mission and am already hooked, now I am just crying in FOMO

[royal nacelle]

Quite sure they'll offer all the expansions during the new campaign.

Considering they've even offered them during their Valheim campaign..

[plucky furnace]

Lol yeah okay nice. I dwarf can only hope!

Do we have an estimate when we can expect the kickstarter to launch

[royal nacelle]

None whatsoever.

[plucky furnace]

Aight, time to play the base game and paint up some minis in the meantime

Also, how do you all keep your box nice and organised with all the sizable tiles? How do you organise all the tokens?

[royal nacelle]

It's individual, but Robsbot made a guide on Board Game Geek, it's a good start until you figure out how you want to set things up yourself: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3003461/deluxe-edition-packing-guide

My box is stuffed with extras by now, that's what my top insert looks like.

[kindred gale]

How did you make those oxygen tanks

[royal nacelle]

lasercut MDF board and styrene plastic.

I did peek at making a 3d printable version but didn't bother after making those, since I like them

[kindred gale]

You own a laser cutter or someone cutted them for you?

[royal nacelle]

option C, I have access to a laser cutter that I don't own, but did design and cut them myself.

[kindred gale]

I wish I had an access to a laser cutter myself so could make these

[tacit yew]

from the goat sim email

[proven saffron]

Do you still have the designs for them and are you willing to share them

If not that’s fine

It would just save me a bit of time

[keen hamlet]

Sad find in the used game area of one of my locals.
Guess they either needed the space or lost their player group.

[floral monolith]

Does that say $175 entire dollars

[keen hamlet]

I said used, not cheap. Lol

[floral monolith]

How much is new????

Do I even want to know?

[bitter hinge]

think of it less like a board game and more like a collector's item

[floral monolith]

Well I might want to play it idk

[bitter hinge]

I'm not saying it isn't a board game, but it is priced as a collector's item first, game second. It is a collector's item that you can play with

[floral monolith]

Ah

Ok

Expensive box of fun

[royal nacelle]

$151 +shipping from MOOD's webstore

[royal nacelle]

I might have it somewhere but tbh it was a very hasty design that I would've iterated on if I were to share it. Also if you're to make one I can give you a heads up to use pretty thin material, the cubes are slightly difficult to get out from mine since only half of the cube sticks up above the surface.

[proven saffron]

Oh ok thanks

[hasty flicker]

How did you make that?!?

[keen sluice]

At this point its not a board game when this new expansion comes out I will have to hire movers to move all the boxes to set it up

Rent a uhaul to bring it to my friends house frfr

[royal nacelle]

Bit of fiddling around in Blender and then 3d printing

[tacit yew]

so true

[hasty flicker]

I am looking to pick up a copy of the DRG board game 24 hour coin edition any suggestions on where to look I checked eBay and there is very little there

[royal nacelle]

That's a tall order, not that many were made all things considered, and they were sold three years ago by now. Keep your eyes on any second hand sites you can find I suppose, I doubt they'll start popping up more all of a sudden though.

[hasty flicker]

Oof

[hollow crow]

Probably easier just to buy the game and find someone who wants to sell the 24 hour coin

[hasty flicker]

id kill to find someone wanting to sell the coin but no easy task either

[ancient prawn]

woah woah woah

no need to kill someone to find someone to sell their coin... all you have to do is ask.

[hasty flicker]

hmmm

[ancient prawn]

Also, someone somewhere had a similar yet slightly different STL file that may or may not have been somewhat similar to the 24 hr coin

they might've even posted it in there at some point, allegedly.

[hasty flicker]

im not looking for a replica of the coin but i really do appreciate the idea

if anyone would like to sell the coin let me know and we can discuss price in DM

(ps not sure if this post is against rules if so just take it down and let me know i got no problems if this is wrong place)

[royal nacelle]

Which one of them? And what about the mug? xD

[hasty flicker]

i have the coin from the space rig pack and i have the mug i would be looking for the coin that came in the base game from the 24 hour kickstarter bonus

box would have the logo in top right

[sweet kestrel]

Elo guys, wanna ask, how exactly this weapon work?

do i need to be right on that marker to collect?

[royal nacelle]

Roll two dice, apply hits to two targets within range and line of sight.

[sweet kestrel]

can i apply 2 on same bug if he is only 1?

[royal nacelle]

"entering the space" does mean you have to...enter the space. So yes you have to move onto that space

[royal nacelle]

Normal shooting rules apply. It just allows you to shoot targets that aren't adjacent when it comes to assigning hits.

[sweet kestrel]

my thx

[dusk edge]

need a molly to carry our stuff

[lyric sapphire]

I finally got the goo from above expansion and I’m very happy

[dawn ibex]

where did you get it? Was it temporarily available?

[kindred gale]

Can they stand on c4?

[bitter hinge]

yes, anything can

[worthy crow]

sent u a dm about selling the coin!

(dont kill me tho)

[hasty flicker]

I’m going to put a bounty out for the 1st edition 24 hour coin from the original release $100 for just the coin $500 for a sealed copy

[royal nacelle]

Sent you two links, I'll take a finder's fee kthx

[lyric sapphire]

It’s weird, the second edition is weirdly hidden on the website

Go to the “accessories” part of the page and keep clicking around until you find it

[royal nacelle]

https://moodpublishing.com/products/deep-rock-galactic-goo-from-above-expansion-2nd-edition It's sold out most places

[eternal prism]

Hi guys, any news when will Kickstarter for new expansion comes out ? I wanna grab whole thing in one go but seeing "coming soon" for a whole month is like drinking leaf lovers

[royal nacelle]

They're still working on it, no news on when the campaign starts.

[hasty flicker]

I hope they add bet-c along with all of rivals and maybe machine events and another biome I’d love to see radioactive exclusion zone

[kindred gale]

I dont think they will add new biomes tbh, I feel they would make seperate expansion adding remaining biomes

Also now that there will be 4 main expansions I wonder will they give each of them some missions and make a mix with only these 2 or would they make much more mixed mission books because potencial is very big

[hasty flicker]

Last release they did biomes and space rig so they could do something that adds a few extra biomes and “rare” enemies like bet-c maybe huli hoarder and maybe add rules or the crasus detonator

I would also like them to add machine events as a hidden tile option I think it could be a cool mini boss just like the tyrant weed and give maybe special overclocks as a reward it could also be optional unlike the tyrant weed because you would have to activate it and it could have a separate deck just like the dreadnought or the heartstone

It would also give them the ability to add ebonite and Kursite enemy’s

[royal nacelle]

Enemies that you have to pickaxe isn't all that interesting tactically, and Kursite enemies .. how would they differ other than visually?

If anything the OMEN would be interesting, as a mini boss fight.

[dusk edge]

does the swarm track pause during those? because you still have to beat everything before the cube reaches the end

[royal nacelle]

Been discussed here before, think my idea back then was that you can only start the machine event if everyone's in the same cave, and leaving fails the event. And that you have separate cards for the event while it's active.

[dusk edge]

similar to how the heartstone has it's own cards?

[royal nacelle]

"we have Huuli Hoarder at home" - Spacerig mission 12.

[royal nacelle]

Yep. But there's all sorts of ways you could do it and have it work, just like in the video game it could well be going on at the same time as the normal mission, so that you may have to speed up your mission or decide to pass on the event if you don't have the time.

All down to how they'd want to add the events.

[dusk edge]

think the only event we usually skip is the tower thing

the spinning tower

[royal nacelle]

Hence that'd be a good one to add xD

[dusk edge]

we lost a whole mission because of "oh we'll be fine"

we were not fine

[hasty flicker]

Huuli hoarder mini how? And how can I get one

[royal nacelle]

Made it myself from the video game files

[hasty flicker]

From 3d printing or from modeling with something like green stuff?

[royal nacelle]

The huuli hoarder I 3d printed. I've handsculpted a Stingtail and a Mactera Grabber though.

[hasty flicker]

Why a grabber I’m pretty sure that is an event card not an enemy or did you homebrew rules for it

[royal nacelle]

I didn't finish any rules for it, it was initially just a fun model building project.

Kinda same thing with my alternative sentries

Started looking at house rules for them but eh, haven't finished anything.

[hasty flicker]

What does your grabber look like?

[royal nacelle]

some handmade fossils and a scratchbuilt satchel charge, mini mules, and alternative sentries.

Also have 12 custom Dwarves, and 4 Goblins xD and currently painting yet another Dwarf

[hasty flicker]

Those all look crazy good!!!!!

[hasty flicker]

Question does this box have the same coin from the original box or is it the Mission Control and dreadnought coin?

[tardy merlin]

@vivid sand In response to your message in GS Card Game:

"... I can't find people to play drg with because it takes multiple hours ..."

There is Tabletop Sim, they have a DRG workshop mod that allows you to play online with others. There are a few people here who would be happy to play, I'm sure!

[supple mango]

I got some varnish for my minis (satin, seemed like a good middle ground) but wondering, do I just paint it on like paint? I read you should be careful to not get frosting, but maybe that's just if you use a spray varnish?

[next sapphire]

Sounds about right just paint it on thin

[dawn ibex]

frosting is more of an issue with sprays

just make sure not to leave and spots with thick gulpy varnish, spread it even

ideally two thin layers similair to how you should ideally paint wirh acrylics

thats especially true for the thick varnish games workshop has

[urban iron]

Im really curious what will be in the expansions. Rivals is pretty straight forward, but Horrors of Hoxxes isnt.

[urban iron]

I dont want them to add enemies that you only find once in like 10 missions

[royal nacelle]

Really depends which type/brand of varnish it is. I've used ones you're supposed to put on in one heavy layer rather than multiple thin layers. I'd recommend trying on a grunt or several, to figure out the process.

[royal nacelle]

We already have enemies you only find once in 10 missions xD

Besides, you can yourself control pretty well which enemies show up. Or make a custom missions with the enemies you want through mission specific event, special rules, or having them on the board at start.

[urban iron]

That is true

[kindred gale]

In right top, is the coin icon printed on the box or is it a sticker?

[hasty flicker]

I’m not sure it is a posting to buy

But it has the coin image of the first kickstarter but it is on the second kickstarter release so I’m confused if it is going to give me first or second coin

[hasty flicker]

Can dwarfs land on a space with a loot bug?

[royal nacelle]

yup

[hasty falcon]

wait, there is a board game!? how did I not know this

[hasty falcon]

lol

[royal nacelle]

Still a meme after 3 years

[heady sinew]

GOD

[spiral belfry]

I'm certain that the first edition coin is not available with the expansions, since the coins are unique to the campaigns

So if that does contain a coin, it'll be the mission control and dreadnaught once, I think

[split cairn]

@royal nacelle any plans to design 3d modles for rogue core?

[royal nacelle]

Kinda already did for a giggle. But yes once I can extract game files I certainly will, until then maybe I'll do some more when inspiration strikes.

[hasty flicker]

Does anyone have examples of how they paint their grunts?
I’m having trouble getting the skin color right underneath the armor

[coral turtle]

darker yellow ish bone color and brown wash

quick ans easy for something im not gonna see.

[hasty flicker]

Thanks

[kindred gale]

I can relate i used like 80ml of white paint just trying to get that color right. It also was my first ever tine painting so no wonder 😅 sorry for low res

[coral turtle]

let us know how it goes

[urban iron]

Wow that looks really accurate to the in-game grunts!

[rain lance]

Love how the texture is very visible and highlighted

[cloud aurora]

That must be a 3d model from the game itself, very cool!

[kindred gale]

I have a silly idea of printing and painting the miniatures with models from the game to gaslight my friends

[split cairn]

it is, bought it on etsy

[analog vessel]

Has anyone played the Space Rig expansion?
Is it good?
Its been sold out since forever 😭

[royal nacelle]

It's good, I enjoy the mission types and upgrade system. The mission mutators spice things up very nicely too.

[ancient prawn]

The space Rig piece adds a kind of "legacy" system too, which adds some nice replayability for more frequent plays

[analog vessel]

Oh awesome.
We couldn't really figure out why we'd want to collect extra gold etc. in the basic version

[royal nacelle]

Beyond overclocks and resupplies no reason, except during deep dives, then you can use it on a buncha stuff.

Having surplus nitra/gold can come in clutch if the glyphids hit the fan.

[lime jungle]

I think a board game copy on one of the abyss bar tables would be a nice easter egg for the video game

Interacting would make the dwarves pick up a mini version of their class and comment on it

"Hey! It's a mini me!" "Lookin' good!" etc.

[hasty flicker]

Gfs luck on rolling dice what is this considered?

[royal nacelle]

That's witchcraft.

[hasty flicker]

Just finished point extraction with swarm threat almost at the end that was a close one

[lime jungle]

That's a new bug

[lyric sapphire]

I enjoy it, In my opinion it has the 2 best missions in the game, and the space rig mechanic is cool for long term progress too

[urban iron]

I agree!

[analog vessel]

This is called "a true Nindo" at my tables, "a Nindo" being when the dice is lying in any questionable way

[analog vessel]

I talked to the company, its gonna restock next week or the next again (supposedly!)

[tacit yew]

all 3 results at once

[tawny pagoda]

Ts pmo

[warm trellis]

Cursed die. Into dice jail immediately

Even if it's actually really good you can't risk it

[royal nacelle]

What?

[tawny pagoda]

I ordered the board game months ago and it’s still not here

It was supposed to come on February 25th

[royal nacelle]

Let me guess, "preorder" from GameNerdz?

[tawny pagoda]

Yeah is it a scam?

How did you know

[royal nacelle]

Not sure if it's a scam, however the previous campaign was fulfilled in late 2024, a company offering a release in February 2025 and then not having the product at hand seems dodgy to me. I've heard them respond that there was some issue with a supplier but it all seems weird, and I've seen other online stores that offer preorders and then just continually push their estimated delivery date months on end.

Last I heard GameNerdz said they'd deliver during Q2, which means you'll have to wait at most another 6-7 weeks I suppose.

Meanwhile MOOD are seemingly restocking within a couple weeks, so could be that GameNerdz is getting product from the same shipment. I just dislike preorders for Kickstarter campaign products that have come and gone.

[bitter ridge]

Do you guys know if replacement cards for the ommoran hearthstone are either downloadable or purchase able? I bought the game and all the expansios and I was printing this organizer thing but actually just lost the ommoran deck

[scarlet narwhal]

you could probably copy the PDF files of the card faces from the TTS Mod for DRG

[bitter ridge]

That's a really good idea actually, thanks

[scarlet narwhal]

np

[bitter ridge]

Have any of you guys printed any organizers or anything for the game?

[scarlet narwhal]

i've actually printed that exact set of organizers too

dreadnought and bulk det are a tight fit but i think its fine

[bitter ridge]

That's awesome, honestly it was an issue to me how spread out everything was and this organizer just makes it easier to play with

On my print the dread is perfectly fine, but the bulk part I had to partially drill/sand because it was scraping the legs. Honestly the file is pretty fire besides that

[royal nacelle]

Organizers no, custom models heaps.

[scarlet narwhal]

thats a good idea, i might do that

[bitter ridge]

It was specifically on this part

[scarlet narwhal]

thx, i'll keep that in mind

[bitter ridge]

Gotta love mutual exchange of assistance

[scarlet narwhal]

dwarves look out for each other

[royal nacelle]

You can soak the miniature in hot water and adjust them if necessary, if adjusting the print is too much a hassle.

[scarlet narwhal]

i think the issue for me is the front legs but I'll double check to see if that is the case

it was the side, it scratched the paint off of one of the side legs on my bulk det

im gonna keep it in the actual box until I file that bit down

[bitter ridge]

Same thing happened here (except it was only primed), wish you best of luck replicating the paint on the leg, sometimes it is harder than it should be

[scarlet narwhal]

I used only Speedpaints from TheArmyPainter, so it would be easy to replicate, but I do want to repaint my DRG minis sometime down the line with mostly acrylic paints as I get more paints and get better at painting

current set im painting im using mainly acrylic, and it looks SO GOOD

can't really do eyes well tho

anyways, im probably just gonna leave the bulk like that for that reason

[royal nacelle]

For the longest time I just kept eyes white

[scarlet narwhal]

rn I just paint a darker color where the eyes go and call it good, or another color for glowing eyes

makes the eyes look serious

[lime jungle]

If you can't be bothered painting just use little googly eyes

[royal nacelle]

4mm googly eyes might actually do the trick

ooh found 3mm ones

$7 for 1000

[lime jungle]

That's more than enough. You can even do the bugs!

[scarlet narwhal]

it'll be like the googly eyes mod for the video game

[royal nacelle]

That'd be the 3mm ones. Not too bad.

[bitter ridge]

Very convenient that none of the bugs have eyes then

[lime jungle]

If you want you could paint angry eyebrows on them

[royal nacelle]

Don't give me modeling ideas

[dawn ibex]

where can one get the organizer?

[dawn ibex]

okay, thanks

How do the minis fit? My main issue with the original insert is that they are so tight they might scratch paint

[bitter ridge]

These are really good about that, they just sit in a designated area where they have a looney tones fell-through-the-ground hole

They have some wiggle room as well, only the bulk detonator had problems

[bitter ridge]

if you have the plastic tokens the slots for the original tokens either become a tight fit or in some cases just have 1 or two pieces that have to stay seperate

[dawn ibex]

yeah I'm probably only getting the goo + menace minor expansion

my brother is into 3d printing and we both have a game, good stuff

[copper sorrel]

A good tip is to load your brush with the tiniest paint on it, wipe on your palette or hand until you have the sharpest line possible. Dont hold your breath, just keep your wrist touching and go for it.
For the pupil, same but wait till the paint is almost dried, experiment by making dots on your hand until you think the next dot will be dried and small enough.
Also find your best position, some prefer to rest their arms or elbows on the desk or armchair, others lying back. Find your confort zone and practice, it gets easier pretty fast.

[cursive rover]

Is it worth to buy the pieces pre-painted or paint them yourself?

[scarlet narwhal]

depends on if you are willing to put the effort and time into painting the minis yourself. Either way you need to pay some money, but professional painters can make the minis look amazing, while doing the job yourself means you control how the final result looks

for me, i decided to do it myself and am quite proud of the results, even as a novice painter who only started at the start of 2024

[cursive rover]

Nice. Thanks

[scarlet narwhal]

these are a few (NON DRG RELATED) minis I did recently and am especially proud of

[royal nacelle]

Depends entirely on how much money you're willing to pay someone else, alternatively how much time you're willing to spend painting stuff yourself. Not everyone is satisfied with the quality they can themselves produce, while others don't want to pay what it'll ultimately cost to have your set painted by someone else.

Personally I find that painted miniatures add to the experience, but it's very individual, others are happy to play with bare grey plastic.

[tacit yew]

DBD board game?

[honest island]

Wraith looking great

[scarlet narwhal]

Ye

[bitter ridge]

Did you have any problems with praetorians?

Just printed out the praetorian part and they barely fit in

[scarlet narwhal]

its a little difficult for me to place them in the slot but I don't think it scratched the paint

[bitter ridge]

I'll have to check if I was just putting them in wrong then

[coarse fox]

Worth it

[hasty flicker]

Another fun mission this time it was the egg mission was a bit tricky at the end but we pulled it off

[kindred gale]

Breach cutter potencial moment

[hasty flicker]

Agreed

[bitter ridge]

Used a sotering iron and just melted the areas where they were scratching, would recommend the technique

[dawn ibex]

everyone in Europe interested in getting some of the expansion content: the shop was just updated and everything is available again

Ended up getting biomes and goo from above

[royal nacelle]

Sweet, you'll be squishing new bugs while using new weapons in notime

[dawn ibex]

the goo mini expansion looks sweet

bought an extra as a gift for my brother

I already fear the upcoming kickstarter lmao

[royal nacelle]

Goo from Above is sweet, it's more a constant annoyance while Bulk det is a proper "uh oh!" once in a while thing (same for Korlok)

[royal nacelle]

What's to fear, set aside a monthly salary and you're fine 😉

[coarse fox]

Game mat goes hard

[hasty flicker]

The game mat is definitely a game changer

I sort of wish they had plastic upgrades for the map tiles tho after like 15 missions the unknown tiles are starting to show some wear from randomizing them

I’m glad I just bought another copy because I get extras incase they become too damaged and extra health tokens and stuff. Maybe I will try a mission with two of one type of dwarf

[coarse fox]

Yea

[bitter ridge]

Any ideas on when it will be?

[royal nacelle]

I'm guessing this year.

[coarse fox]

I don’t have any clue what’s it’s gonna be

[urban iron]

Rival expansion and "horrors of Hoxxes" expansion

[coarse fox]

Noice

[dawn ibex]

horrors of hoxxes could be anything really

having a plague that spreads from glyphid to glypid if they touch would be interesting but finniky

[royal nacelle]

Yes it sounds like the barrel kicking game and disco ball game from the spacerig.

Imagine the horror of jettyboots

[dawn ibex]

really happy about getting the goo bomber and menace

[dusk edge]

I’m actually pretty good at jettyboots

[royal nacelle]

Then you'll have to wait for the "Delights of Hoxxes" expansion

[coarse flint]

There's gonna be 2??
My poor wallet and my back trying to carry all the boxes

[royal nacelle]

Yes, there's two.

[coarse flint]

I'm gonna need a moving truck whenever I gotta take the expansions somewhere

[coarse fox]

Ong

Someone needs to make a wooden big box that they sell

I would buy instantly

[royal nacelle]

I'm sure you could find something on etsy or ebay. Or even have one custom made if you have the budget for it.

[coarse fox]

Custom made is an option?

[royal nacelle]

I mean... yeah... find a local woodworker. I'd be able to make one myself but certainly wouldn't work for peanuts, so there's that.

And shipping would cost a fair bit, likely.

[coarse fox]

Yea

I could maybe make my own cuz I have some woodworking skill but I don’t have any tools or equipment💀

[coarse fox]

Also is peanuts like money, I am slow af

[royal nacelle]

Means I wouldn't do it for very little. Tools can be rented, some places have makerspaces where you can pay for a membership to use their tools as well.
