And now, the game I wanted to run. Intro Guide Base Rules Lost Legion Rules Getting Vassal Working What? The expansion to the tactical deckbuilder D+D-campaign-in-a-box that is Mage Knight, the expansion is simply there to add even more content. In doing so, it fixes the base game in a number of important ways, makes the heroes more unique, shores up the various game modes and adds a whole new co-op option to the game: Volkare, a shadowy general with an enormous army of troops ready to stomp around the board and gently caress up your poo poo. In this thread, we'll be taking him and his army on and seeing whether the players can come out on top. So what's new?

Volkare's Return - Rules Volkare's Return is a cooperative game run in three stages. In the first, the heroes have to build up power as they and Volkare search for the city at the bottom of the tile stack. In the second, Volkare will make for the city as soon as it is encountered, heading for it at a bee-line. In the third, the heroes will have hopefully taken over the city and can use it as a base to fend Volkare's mighty army off. General Details

Wooooooo! First place is Norowas, second is Arythea. I have a pretty ample amount of experience with the game, but I've only fought Volkare twice at this point.

First is Torus (or whatever the gently caress his name is), second is Edit You know who the gently caress I am, Stelas.

Krang first or Torak second I guess I've played about two or three games IRL, I probably need to refresh the rules.

I am not finished here. First choice is Random Select. Second choice is also Random Select. I am the best and most experienced player to have ever Maged a Knight. I do not fear

Poison Mushroom posted:Man, I am going to co-op these nerds so hard. Maybe it's just the people I play with, but for some reason it gets worse when we play co-op games than competitive ones. Maybe it has to do with how their bad cards screw you over rather than help you, which means it's definitely time for a… erhm… stern talking-to.

I love MK and have only tried Volkare a couple of times so count me in! Edit: Experience level is about 10 or so games in total. First choice: Goldyx, second: Arythea. Kerro fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Oct 19, 2014 |

Noticed from the previous thread that you're running an old version of the LL module. The most current version is here.

In it like a thing that is in it. First choice Norowas (I like Krang but apparently so does everyone, and I enjoy Norowas too) Second choice Tovak (I want to work out how the gently caress to Tovak) I'm moderately experienced (played maybe 5 to 10 games, mostly co-op, and usually come third of 3, but as a group we've won comfortably)). E: we usually play hard combat I think. Certainly last time we had some crazy-hard cities. thespaceinvader fucked around with this message at 22:39 on Oct 19, 2014 |

Bookmarked as the last thread was a great watch. God speed, brave Mage Knights! If Voltaire is allowed to return it will be the thin edge of the wedge. Soon the whole world will fall under the spell of French philosophy. They'll be smoking Gitanes in the red city by dawn of day four.

Hello again all you wonderful people! (and gutter owl) I'd like to sign up if possible, Give me Krang,because i haven't gotten to use him yet dammit! Or Give me Tovak, because i love me some Tovak. As for experience i've played about 3 games of the starting scenario, and the last thread was my second ever game of Full Conquest, and the first one with 4 players! If i happened to get picked this will be my first co-op game so lets all do our best to beat Volkare!

I would love to play. First choice NOT Wolfhawk. My only complication is that I don't get home from vacation until Wednesday so I might be a little slow right at the beginning. Experience level is maybe five games.

I am of course interested. First choice is Wolfhawk, second choice Goldyx. Experience level: 10+ games of base Mage Knight, 2 games of Lost Legion. If you don't pick me I'll just be here sniping any rules mistakes like last thread

So that's ten signups. Clearly, you should do two five player games.

I'd like to enter. Arythea and Goldyx for characters. edit: I see those two are pretty popular, so if it makes it easier for you to use the normal starting tactics/player rules I'll play whoever's available on my turn, with preference as follows: Arythea, Goldyx, Tovak, random. I've played around a dozen solo games, but only Conquest despite having Lost Legion. I think all but 2 were successes, with my most common city levels being 7/11 (around 6 games at that level). Played a handful of coop/competitive games, also only Conquest. rchandra fucked around with this message at 08:05 on Oct 20, 2014 |

Stelas posted:[*]Recruitment will be open for 24 hoursish, whereupon selection will be by random draw. I have it on good authority that if I close it early I may get lynched. Yes. Yes you would. Arythea and Goldyx. I own the expansion, played 5-6 games to the end, started plenty more solo, restarting as soon as something didn't go my way because I'm a big baby. Gutter Owl posted:So that's ten signups. Clearly, you should do two five player games. Isn't the maximun 4 players, Krang or no Krang? Clearly the answer is three 4 player games.

Just a shout out that Stelas is a cool guy who ran through Mage Knight with me on VASSAL and I will be keeping an eye on this to see what the expansions ads to the game.

Running Clash of Cultures for friends taught me this is a terrible plan because at one point I will save over the other game's file or mix up the images.

Because Vlaada If I were to guess, because even though the offer and play area expands with the number of players, it can get awfully crowded at 5, so having a character that can (almost) just skip those parts offers its unique advantage. …in theory.

Stelas posted:(Why on earth do people like Krang?) His two unique cards are great. Tank your rep freely and the one time per day you want to recruit, ignore it, and that turn where all you really want to do is walk to a place, do it and collect crystals for the privilege. I enjoyed him the one time I played him. His skills are kinda fiddly though.
