Quotes (from this video)
  • it's so over complicated a lot of good ideas but terrible to play
  • the models look really good but um it's also not cheap I swear to God I saw the retail on it for that starter box was like 150 bucks
  • because you can now get a pretty decent looking print we can make more stuff like that
  • I used to play silent death back in the day which was a game made by a company called iron Crown Enterprises we used to play the heck out of that
  • it was definitely very kind of complicated as well but at the time being a younger person I enjoyed it quite a bit
  • I don't know if I'm not sure if Vince has played ship combat games I have
  • I use an iada uh Eclipse uh iada hpcs I think is the technical uh model name or whatever and I've always loved that thing it works great
  • why you wouldn't have Federation versus Klingon AR Romulan as the starter factions in any Star Trek game it makes no logical sense to me
  • so I was really hoping they were going to do something different with um with the new version and when they sent me like the copy and I was started reading the rules and stuff I was just like oh this is pretty much just the same
  • there's a zillion charts in that game
  • it was a little fiddly but not too fiddly
  • I do wonder if making Star Trek games fairly complicated is part of knowing Their audience as a trekky I can safely say we tend to like that kind of crunch and the complexity
  • I don't want to play too much crunch these days you know what I mean
  • CPS speed paint through the airbrush on the bottom terrain is the goat indeed
  • I made a video about how to make it so your airbrush never clogs again and I'm 98% sure I made that video
  • I have never had a clog in my airbrush in a decade at this point
  • hard to believe silent death was from the same company I mean probably different people obviously you know but yeah silent death sheets a bit like hero clicks whereas you take damage
  • the tabletop minions Awards will be coming out on Friday so less than a week away tabletop minions awards for 2024
