I'll put the rules here later but the original way you played GoF was to play 3 games and sum up the gold total and the person who had the highest total won the set. I'm wondering if there is any interest in playing a set of 3 games, where the person currently in last gets to choose the boasting order for the next game (game 1 is random order)

Players
1) Insomniac
2) Watno
3) Galzria

Boasting.

When the game starts the post below will show the character/weapon combinations available. Here's how we'll do boasting. Let's use players Alice, Bob, and Carol


Alice goes first

Alice decides to take the ninja with a bow, she declares this along with any boasts she wishes to add (she does not have to)

Next Bob decides to take either a different hero or the ninja, if he takes the ninja he MUST add a boast. Boasting continues till all have a hero.

Example
Alice takes ninja with a bow without breakfast
Bob takes ninja with a bow without breakfast, and hopping on one foot
CAROL takes Priest with a staff
Alice takes Priest with a staff, with a hang over
Carol takes Barbarian with a dagger.

NOTE: Each hero can only have 1 of each type of boast


Combat. Once the Encounter is up before rolls are posted.
Use Weapon Token and Use Class Token are the respective ways to use your ability

Combat. After rolls are posted
Use Weapon Token and Use Class Token are the respective ways to use your ability

It is important to know when you can use your ability.

The Boasts
While Juggling - After rolling subtract 1 from the total, Start with half as many weapon tokens as normal
With a Hangover - Roll 1 Less Die, -4 Defense, Discard this boast when you Kill your first Monster
One Arm Tied Behind Back - Any die's showing 1 and 2 are ignored treating them as 0's
Blindfolded - If you both kill & dodge the monster score 1 less gold.
Hopping on One Leg - -2 Defense
Without Breakfast - Start with 1 wound.

I think we should leave our gold back at the tavern between the rounds, otherwise Sack of Loot would be too strong. Also, will we reshuffle the deck between rounds?

Yes to both, they are in fact seperate games, however whether you win or lose is determined by the sum of your gold across all 3 games.

When we get to 6. So probably sometime this week. With GoF games though the required involvement is indeed pretty low.

It takes so little attention space though! It just like, runs in the backround for players. :P Mods have a bit of work though...

I understand.  I'll probably join if Witches' Brew is done by the time this starts.  Looks likely.

The one thing that is preventing me from jumping at this chance is that I don't want to get my characters confused between games. Right now, I have a priest with a sword in one game and a wizard with a flaming sword in another. Fortunately I don't have to track the characters I had in II and III, but I'd be struggling if I did.

Although, IV will end soon enough, and VII doesn't yet have six players. I suppose I could be /in for this one.

And encourage Voltgloss to hop in too. The hard part is done early. Then you only have to worry about token expenditures, which are often no-brainers, though I guess having the wand does require actual interaction with the gauntlet.

Witches Brew is essentially over. 4 Ravens are on the Table. Now it's just a matter of who wins (ME!)

Well, to be fair, it looks like the kingmaker-ness has hurt Insomniac's attempt to catch up to you. Although, the game becomes a lot more cutthroat with the scores being visible.

It's also a game of anticipating what the other players are inclined to do, which can be tricky because you don't know if they're going to go for the low-hanging fruit or the stars.

But yeah, Witch's Brew will be over soon, which will free up some players. I probably won't run another one right away, as I'm working on automating the moderation somewhat.

I haven't noticed any, like I'm in last and have not been actively trying to pick who wins, I'm still TRYING to win, thats why I didn't end the game.

See, and if you did end the game while you were behind, then that would have been a kingmaker move.

But enough about that. We need to get back to convincing Voltgloss or Cayvie to play VII.

what i mean, though, is that, by giving you the option of not brewing potions you can afford, the game afforded you a choice that was unlikely to help you win, but affected the outcome nonetheless.
