I think she said I'd get it once we started playing :D"


Oh, I did enjoy that challenge when I was playing it! Gave it up in the end because it was a bit too time consuming for a solo challenge for my liking. Would be heaps of fun as a group game though.

I wasn't sure when I read the rules if it meant we had to read book from the same series... you're saying we just have to read the series # but not all from the same series?

Emma (M) | 1777 comments Np V, happy to answer any questions. You'll pick it up quickly once you start playing I'm sure.

The little dude is doing well. He's three months old now and I can hardly believe how quickly time has flown! We're both totally in love with him and it is so amazing to see him grow and develop

We miss you, but you couldn't be spending your time any better than you are : D


message 6669: by Snowtulip (new)

Snowtulip | 4679 comments Does number of pages count for this one or it doesn't matter?


message 6670: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments at the minute i need to read through the rules (again) to double check ST, ive put all of the points ect on the team ss but until it is on the main one I'm stuck on how to space them out.

It looks like in the downtime it is better to work on series books to able us to "level up"

so
#1
#1 #2
#1 #2 #3
etc


message 6671: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments ah right...

Weapons level up by points fir each series nmbr

so
Level 1 = # 1 in series
Level 2 = # 1 AND 2 in series
Level 3 = #1, #2 AND 3 in series

and so on.........so actually the higher levels are going to be trickier to get.

I'm bouncing back and firth between threads so forgive my rambling lol

It can be different series though right? And can we used banked books for this...or start from scratch?


message 6674: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments week 1 = reading and training to het as many points and levels as we can.

Week 2 - Tournament begins and we start to kick some ass!!


message 6675: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments yes different series but we can only use banked books in this downtime period, and books banked during Labours and WaT can only be used to sell for gold in the shop


message 6676: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments That is just for weapons

going to cut and paste a few things but not all of it as it is confusing lol

Weapons

◈ Your hero has a weapon.
◈ The weapon starts with 10 Attack.
◈ The weapon levels up 1 attack each level.
"◈ Levels are gained by reading progressively longer ""series"" of books."
Example:
Level 1: #1 in Series book (11 Attack)
Level 2: #1 and #2 in Series book (12 Attack)
Level 3: #1 and #2 and #3 in Series book (13 Attack)


message 6677: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments Health

◈ Your hero starts with 20 HP
◈ Your hero gains 5 HP every level
Example:
Level 1: 20 Max HP
Level 2: 25 Max HP
Level 3: 30 Max HP
...

◈ Levels are gained by getting XP from quests or monsters.
◈ When a hero levels to the next level, their HP are healed to their new max health.


message 6678: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments Monster Cards
◈ Monster cards have monsters that can be fought for experience and/or items.
◈ Monsters are fought using health, a weapon and potions.
◈ Hero health is the same whether in a tournament or monster battle.
◈ A Hero always attacks first unless otherwise noted.
◈ If a Hero is knocked out during the battle, the monster heals to full health.

Ghost in the Stacks Okay, that is what I thought, so pretty much starting our Series # from scratch for this week.

The last half of series won't be too hard, cause we could just have a section where we keep track on our sheets.


Just like for our last Labor game, just set up spots to claim for each level.
If we all work together with clamimg a series number we should be good to build....Just build off one level at a time.

Maybe for the start we can set up sections for the first 5 levels? For everyone to claim


message 6680: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks I mean if everyone just reads ones and two's, we wont build very far....that is just my opnion though...


message 6681: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments sounds good, if you break it into smaller chunks it starts to make a bit of sense haha


message 6682: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks Sorry...trying trying to be strategic about it....

Lol..I want to beat these (place name here) ...you know who...


message 6683: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments haha me too


message 6684: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks Eldarwen better get some good books during her shopping trip!!!


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Okay, I just finished a #1 last night. I'm currently reading #1, and want to get to a #5 hopefully by tomorrow.


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Okay. I'm down with the strategy. I can do a #9, #4, #6 just let me know!!!


message 6687: by Ghost in the Stacks (last edited Oct 08, 2016 08:13AM) (new)

Ghost in the Stacks So lets set up a section the first 5 levels, and see where everyone can be placed.

I say have everyone claim only one to 2 spots at a time, this way we dont have one person clamining a lot at once, so we can fill in better. Once someone finishes, then they can take the next important available spot.

Once all sections for level 5 are filled, we open one level at a time, and so forth.

Make sense?


message 6688: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments yay!
im currently doing Body Double which is #4


Tamika♥RBF MOOD♥ | 1422 comments Okay works for me. I'm 30% into a #1.


message 6690: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks I am almost done with a 1 too, but that is fine, since we will need those ones...then I can just move on to what we need next.


message 6691: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks Can you set that up in the spreedsheet V, since the three of us are on right now, we can get it started, and then we can get everyone going once they log on?


message 6692: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks ...and I swear...I am not trying to take over....it just makes more sense to me..


message 6693: by Ghost in the Stacks (last edited Oct 08, 2016 08:21AM) (new)

Ghost in the Stacks Looks like we can put:

Eldarwen in for a #2
Tamika in for #1&5
Abbie #1
V #4
I would help...but spreadsheets dont like me...


message 6694: by VNerdbooks (new)

Awesome!


message 6696: by Ghost in the Stacks (last edited Oct 08, 2016 08:29AM) (new)

Ghost in the Stacks ..sorry, istn level 1 just a 1, then level 2 is just a 1&2, level three is a 1,2,&3?

We might confuse people if we block it to ten

...or did I just understand that wrong?


message 6697: by VNerdbooks (new)

VNerdbooks (v_nerdbooks) | 5104 comments bugger! no you're right haha

hang on I'll change it


message 6698: by Ghost in the Stacks (last edited Oct 08, 2016 08:40AM) (new)

Ghost in the Stacks I didt think about it either until I checked out the spreadsheet!


message 6699: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks V, just put mine in for level one, As I should be done in a bit.

Maybe Tamika's 1 and Elderwens 2 for level two


message 6700: by Ghost in the Stacks (new)

Ghost in the Stacks Then your 4 in the first 4, and Tamika's 5 in the first 5
