 ... wait, wait...  There we go. Rules FAQ What? Dungeon Lords is Vladaa's decidedly subversive take on worker placement, not just because you're an evil dungeon keeper out to capture heroes and build fiendish traps - bureaucracy is your enemy at every turn, at the very least because it insists on taxing and hindering your efforts whenever it rears its head. Recruit imps, send them out to buy traps and dig tunnels and hire monsters, then defend your fine dungeon against a meddling party of adventurers through efficient and clever planning and use of your resources. A tight design means that players are going to be fighting over placements a lot, while a risk-reward system benefits those who don't immediately rush a given spot while punishing those who take too long or don't pay attention to what their opponents can and can't do on a given turn. When it comes to fending off an adventurer the game becomes more of a puzzle than anything else - and true to that, the training scenarios are quite literally a set of premade encounters that challenge you to beat them as efficiently as possible. It's a great game, and I'm hoping I can do it justice. So what's the plan?

Stelas, you already know I'm going to be playing. You don't even have to roll the dice. It's inevitable. It's always been inevitable. ## Prepare my things. I expect my throne room to be furnished by tomorrow morning.

Gamerofthegame posted:which isn't very because wtf is this game If this is a serious question: it's a worker placement where you're building a dungeon and hiring monsters to go in it. The more evil you are, the bigger and nastier adventurers you attract - but you know who's going to be attacking you (mostly) ahead of time, so there's an element of specific planning as to how you use your traps and monsters to deal with them. No dice, just raw numbers.

It's an engine building game where every so often Dirk the Daring comes in and kicks your engine in the dick. I would totally be in if I had PMs, alas. Frikkin Stelas and being the only reason I'd want to get Platinum mutter mumble

I'm playing a BaJ game of it otherwise I might. Certainly following, this is like the best game. Literally one of my favorite games in the world, only topped by a few wargames and abstracts really.

TIMG or not TIMG? I mean it's only 1024 across but maybe in the year 2015 people might still care about that? I'm not including descriptions of rooms or monsters this time around, at least. By and large, if you're not sure what's going on, the glyphs roughly indicate what's up and all will become much clearer at the end of the year when Combat happens. That said, if any spectators are utterly lost, please feel free to chime in! The game will have fairly large update posts and only shittalking and tutorials to space them out. Organization-wise I think there's going to be the start-of-round post, then one revealing which cards were played and where people's minions are, then one after people have confirmed they're willing to pay a given set of costs. This seems like it might be lengthy but there's so many situations you might not want to pay a cost I don't want to stick on a blanket 'I'll execute this for you' statement.

So I'm not entirely sure how to do this post, but given the way actions resolve top-left to bottom-right, I think it's best if I just display the board and then let you guys work out any fiddly bits like waiting to see if someone else actually activates the 1st space / takes your preferred monster between yourselves. I'm not sure how I'd do this any other way without it being hugely slow. burger time reveals Trap, Mine, Imps. Istvun reveals Room, Monster, Reputation. Broken Loose reveals Reputation, Monster, Room. Tekopo reveals Mine, Dig, Imps. Action Queue - All players: Confirm your actions / any specifics (i.e. which Combat Card to peek, Monster to buy, etc). Bear in mind hiring and buying Rooms go backwards!  burger time (Yellow) Imps: 3/3 | Food: 3 | Gold: 3 | Traps: 0 | Captures: 0 | Blocked Actions: Dig / Reputation | Monsters: None! Istvun (Blue) Imps: 3/3 | Food: 3 | Gold: 3 | Traps: 0 | Captures: 0 | Blocked Actions: Dig / Food | Monsters: None! Broken Loose (Red) Imps: 3/3 | Food: 3 | Gold: 3 | Traps: 0 | Captures: 0 | Blocked Actions: Imps / Food | Monsters: None! Tekopo (Green) Imps: 3/3 | Food: 3 | Gold: 3 | Traps: 0 | Captures: 0 | Blocked Actions: Reputation / Food | Monsters: None! Stelas fucked around with this message at 00:26 on Dec 8, 2015 |
