Thanks as always BLT. Someone accurately describing Muaat makes me happy

How have you listened to it yet?!

addendum to tech of the week: in the original printing, hyper said "gain 2 tokens instead of 1", which was very confusing to a table of new players

After I asked, I realized that it shows up online before the post here 🤦

#

Yeah I try to schedule them for 5:45am MT (totally arbitrarily) but then I am not always awake that early to post it here

Just listened to this in the car again after a different podcast and didn't realize it's still pretty quiet. Will boost again next week

All the other podcasts are too loud

#

@analog gorge I think I'd like to join you for an episode at some point. Talk about the History of the bot

#

And the era predating it

Oo I wanna hear somno's voice

analog gorge Dec 30, 2023, 7:04 PM

Yes!!!

I’d find the history of play by forum pretty interesting.

#

No kidding, where did the original asset files for the images come from? Were they all handmade? 👀
I remember a long time ago I asked Somno what he did to mod a BGG game, and I was overwhelmed with the sheer amount of digital stuff I got in reply.

#

Don't answer that! Save it for the podcast! 😂

I'm not opposed to splitting it up

One part PBF History, one part bot dev Stories 👍

Did you manually edit and repost every time?

swift hornet Did you manually edit and repost every time?

Yep! All the formatting tags as well...

swift hornet Jan 1, 2024, 6:34 PM

#

So you were actually playing on the forum

#

Somehow I didn't realize pbf was so literal

#

I thought people were just chatting on the forum or something

rich horizon Jan 1, 2024, 7:03 PM

#

Lol. Yeah literally play by forum. Post your turn, update your stats block if necessary, and sometimes the mod posted an updated map image. Secrets and action cards dealt by the mod by DM. Explores and dice rolls handled by BGG's dice roller.
