I have this! Still haven't played it though.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well when you inviting me over, buddy?

It's gotta happen

[–] roguetrick@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We like you starmets, we just don't like you enough to have you know our address or meet you unaccompanied. We like you from a distance.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't like me enough to spell my name right 🥺

[–] roguetrick@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

I don't like anyone enough to do that.

[–] Benelaus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

You should give it a try. It's actually the only version of Catan that I own. The support cards change thing in a significant way

[–] guyrocket@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I want it. And I want to play it.

Is there a board game zine here anywhere?

I haven't seen one, but there's bound to be.

There are a couple of board game communities. At least one is very anti-Catan.

[–] DosDude@retrolemmy.com 1 points 1 year ago

You can make it. I'm sure people will join

[–] RagnarokOnline@reddthat.com 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

TableTop was my jam. Any episode from season 1 is mental.

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm not much for watching other people play games but I loved Tabletop so much. Probably because they always edited to explain all the nonsense going on lol

[–] kvadd@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You should check out No Rolls Barred on youtube

[–] Facebones@reddthat.com 1 points 1 year ago

I'm sick and distracting myself with Jedi Survivor, but I subbed so I'll remember to check it out. Thanks for the rec!

[–] roofuskit@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes and yes. The best part is when they sync up in the ship attack even though they've never been on set together before.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

If you've done the bridge shake once you've done 'em all

[–] junezephier@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My parents have this version! it actually has a few small improvements to the base game that modify the robber for the better. My memory is fuzzy of how it's different, but i remember us liking it more :p

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I watched this video years ago but I don't remember a damned thing about it. Re-watching it again as I plan my 9th Baldurs Gate 3 playthrough. I have a fucking problem.

[–] milkisklim@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How are you on your 9th run?! I am a hundred plus hours in and I still haven't finished my first. Do you knowingly limit which quests you choose?

I've made peace with the fact I am missing some quests, but I feel there's still so much to do before finishing act 3.

(My next run will be an all owl bears)

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

To be fair, I haven't finished any of them. I get dangerously close, towards the end of Act 3, and then back off and start over. Still have the save files of all of those characters, however. That being said I've got over 300 hours in it now. A good chunk of the month I couldn't walk so I had literally nothing to do other than play Baldurs Gate. That helped a lot.

[–] teft@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m on my 6th or 7th playthrough. 270 hours in and I still keep finding stuff. Today I found a secret cave in Underdark with Kuatoa worshipping a red cap. Game of the year for sure.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, that's something for me to keep an eye out for on the next run. Think i'm going to do a Githyanki Monk run and, for the first time, have Lae'Zel in my party. I'ma be real... I fucking hate her. She's just a bitch. First playthrough I was doing Dark Urge and found her in the cage. Said she needed to say please. She said no so I left her there. Every playthrough after that I've executed her myself for crimes of being unbearable and also having good armor for Shadowheart.

[–] teft@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah Laezel is 50% of the time murdered by me or I let shadow heart do it when laezel finds out we have the artifact.

You should let her live once just to watch shadow heart murder her. It’s cathartic.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Then the gith playthrough will wait. Next up will be watching Shadowheart goomba stomp Zel, helping Astarion for the first time ever, being vaguely an asshole with okayish intentions, and raw dogging the dream guardian.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

It's not really a problem. Once you watch the video again you'll remember just fine. Enjoy your BG3 run

[–] Hillock@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

I am slightly annoyed that they didn't use the Starfarers of Catan as the base for this game. Would have made more sense.

But I suppose Starfarers just isn't as popular so that's why I am only slightly annoyed.

It's one of the better variations of Catan, too, using the same rules as the Helpers of Catan scenarios expansion.

I got a copy for my dad a few years before he passed. He mostly enjoyed games like Trivia Pursuit, but the Trek theme did draw him in to this version of Catan.

[–] xusontha@ls.buckodr.ink 4 points 1 year ago

I love that game

[–] ulkesh@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I watched all of the TableTop series. It’s what helped me gain an obsession of board games.

[–] michaelgemar@mstdn.ca 2 points 1 year ago

@ulkesh @startrek It’s a terrific series, and Wheaton is such a great host.

[–] nocturne213@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Sadly this version is OOP, but i did manage to get a demo for my game shop before that happened. I need to find more Trekkies to play it with me.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

The support cards are a great addition to the game. You can get them for normal Catan if you want, they're called "Helpers of Catan".

[–] Psythik@lemm.ee -5 points 1 year ago

What's "Settlers of Cathan"?
