Uhhh, what difference does it make when you yourself told me in no uncertain terms in early June that you chose not to play any games with horror/fantasy/sci-fi themes whatsoever because you found them incompatible with your Christian beliefs?

"Red November's" game designer is Bruno Faidutti, one of the most acclaimed and fan-friendly game designers ever.

So, in light of your outrageous comments, you might wanna consider retracting them and claim that you yourself were evidently drunk at the time you wrote that stuff above.

Ah, yes. Forgot about the Overheated event. It's true that will increase your level of drunkneness, a player still doesn't have to perform a faint check unless they drink on their own turn. So while you wil get closer to fainting, I still don't think it's as big a risk as some are suggesting.

Yes, I agree that the the odds of fainting don't increase with more players. You only make a faint check when you voluntarily take a drink on your turn. In a 2 player game, your odds of fainting from grog are exactly the same as in an 8 player game.

As I understand it:

With more players, more event cards are drawn during the course of the game. When more event cards are drawn, more overheated cards will be drawn. When more overheated cards are drawn, the average level of gnome inebriation will increase because each overheated card affects all players. With a higher average level of inebriation, the chance of fainting be higher for any gnome who voluntarily consumes grog.

So I would say:

The conditional probability of fainting given the voluntary consumption of grog increases with more players.

If a gnome does not voluntarily consume any grog, then they have no chance of fainting independent of the number of players in the game. But if a gnome does voluntarily consumer grog, then their chance of fainting will be higher the more players there are. And so I believe that the spirit of the MrWeasley's post is correct, even if some of the details were not entirely correct.

You don't place it at all. You're at 13 minutes left, the event comes up and says "put it at +15", net result would be -2 minutes, IE, the ship will be crushed by the kraken after the game is already over (you'll either die first, or be rescued before the crushing is completed). He's still out there biting, just not fast enough. :)

So, don't put the marker down because it's irrelevant, and continue playing. But, if there's some other text on the card that is relevant (like the hand limit text), then that must be dealt with.

Also, the Kraken event card says place at +15 and hand limit is 4. If you can't place the destruction token due to remaining time being less than 15, does the hand limit of 4 still apply (to everyone)?

The example of play at the Fantasy Flight site ( http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/ffg_content/Red%20November...) specifically includes a player moving through one room on fire and into another room on fire, to try to extinguish the second fire. The gnome drinks his grog before entering the first room. So yes, it is possible to pass through several flaming rooms.

Well,

1. You'd have to resolve about 15 events and the game ends when the LAST gnome gets to 0, not the first one. It seems unlikely this would be a successful strategy. Now if you had the aqualung, I could see doing this and then jumping out the hatch at the last minute and then watch the sub go down in flames! :devil:

2. I think you can only enter the first room on fire, but I could be wrong.

3. Correct, it's more important where you are going than form whence you came.

Could you run down the timer in a single turn by going back and forth between 2 compartments?
In a situation where you have 2 clear rooms (no blocked hatches, no fires), couldn't you just move between 2 compartments and bring the clock down from 60 (or whever you start) down to 0/rescued! in a singel turn?

When you use a Fire extinguisher and/or grog, can you walk through multiple rooms with fires? I'm guessing in the end, even if you do not do a fix-it action on a fire, the grog/fire exting. will be used up or consumed?

Moving INTO a low flooded room causes an extra minute to be added on to movement whereas moving OUT OF a low flooded room does not incur any addtitional penalty?

Thread: Red November:: General:: Painting Gnomes

kyrasantae — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 11:40:55 +0000

by kyrasantae

Originally at my blog.

I'd been returning again and again to the BGG page for Red November, because I like seeing big games in small boxes. But being unemployed, there's probably better things to be saving my money for than spending it on games that I'm too much of a loner to actually get people to play. Heck, I haven't even tried asking my flatmates - but it doesn't help much that they talk amongst themselves in their own language, which I don't understand.

But I caved and bought Red November today, and after "pimping" out the box with a foamcore insert (went waaaaaaaaaay out of my way to get supplies for *that*) and printing off some reference sheets from BGG, I stumbled upon the photo of the painted gnomes on Bruno Faidutti's website, and I wondered why I didn't think of painting them.

I haven't significantly flexed my miniatures painting muscles since middle school - ever since by doing so it brought about the end of my pursuit of what led me to painting miniatures in the first place. But now I was inspired.

The red and orange gnomes were bent over on their stands, so first I got a cup of boiling water from the kettle and dropped the gnomes in, and then transferred them to a cup of cold water with chopsticks after 10 seconds. This straightened the minis out like a charm. I put all of the gnomes through this for good measure.

When I went out to my balcony to prime the minis, I noted that the upstairs neighbours were causing quite a bit of a racket by (presumably) having a party. After all, it's Juhannus (Midsummer) tomorrow and that's an excuse for everybody to get sloshed for the entire weekend and accidentally fall out of canoes into lakes, but I'm not in Finland so clearly it's just because it's Friday.

]]>Primed figures with bases painted. I didn't want to spend too much time with the spray paint - I've had, um, the landlord get suspicious before.

Regardless of the reason for the racket upstairs - which I cannot hear from my own room - my flatmates were out, so I worked at the kitchen table because there's better light there. It was actually quite nice to work there, not only because it's noticeably warmer and stuffier in my room for some reason, but also because it was just me, my all-purpose/usual playlist mix, my paint, and my minis. It was nice to be able to focus on a single task; I'm normally far too distracted to get anything done efficiently (including writing this post).

I quit my job a few weeks ago because it was seriously aggravating my carpal tunnel syndrome (I fear to the point of no return), and my hands were cramping up from painting, but I don't even notice the cramping because my mind is on the painting. I like that state of mind. It used to be easier for me to get into than it is now.

I dug out my $10 set of paints from Wal-Mart and my box of brushes - I used a 1 for the base, and a 3/0 and 10/0 for the details. My 3/0 was pretty curled (hey, these were cheap and they're old), so it actually did details better than the 10/0 this time.

]]>The sculpt appears to show the gnomes wearing mismatched shoes, so there.

It was my first time painting figures assembly-line style, and I worked from the bottom-most layer up, from the bottom of the figure up. I took the minis off the egg carton to paint on, and stuck them back on after, trying to do the minis in the same order for each step, so that the previous bit had time to dry.

]]>
I didn't like that the painted gnomes on Faidutti's page had the coats in the player colour; I felt like it was a bit too much, so I did all of the coats in white and did the lapel in colour, with a little sailor stripe. The grey gnome is painted white because I don't have a light grey paint.

]]>
I used a brown instead of a black wash, which makes them look a little dirty and beat up. If I had craft (or special miniatures) metallic paint, I would have drybrushed the metallic highlights, but I only have the little Testors tubs for the metallics and they're too... runny, I guess. It's a whole different kind of paint, despite it still being acrylic.

It's 2AM and I'm finished painting, 5 hours after I started. The party upstairs is wrapping up. I think the gnomes turned out fine, though I was getting pretty tired and the drybrushing (and everything after that) is pretty sloppy. Not that I'd ever quite figured out how to do that properly, anyway.

True at that. Page 8 of the rules say

This is the main reason people need to pump the water out and not just flow it into adjacent rooms. When that high water even hits... you're going down.

I should've been more specific. In a situation where all rooms are clear, couldn't you just move between 2 compartments and bring the clock down from 60 (or whever you start) down to 0/rescued! in a singel turn?

Thanks to those of you who pointed out that we all won. I know that, but it was a hollow sort of victory for those of us that had died.

It might help to understand the spirit in which the game was played if I tell you that the optional 'crowbar combat' rule was seriously considered on a number of occasions.

If I just passed I would have immediately died and no cards would have been turned over, the ship would have survived as would the two gnomes who had made it to the 'rescued' spot.

The only way of taking them out was to turn over sufficient cards to ensure one of the tracks got to the end and we all died.

The way most people interpret the rules to mean that a gnome may open any number of hatches in the room, but must exit the room for all hatches to slam shut. This is how the computer version of the game handles it.

Anyway, the rule on page 8 supercedes all of this:

Players take turns this way (as previously described) until teh sub is lost or saved, at which point they all either lose collectively, or win collectively. We all hope help comes soon.

You don't need to run time out - if you're surrounded by high water, you die, and everyone fails. Your comrades lost because everyone didn't make it out, and didn't help bilgepump before running to the exit.

The only 'private' win is if you aqualung out and you've already abandoned ship, and everyone else dies. At that point you cannot affect (positively or negatively) everyone else's chances.

Yeah, yeah, I am a jerk for doing this to my fellow gnomes I know that. That is why I don't play many co-op games (in partial mitigation, there were 3 of us trying to do this to the 2 players who got out). Can we look past the specific 'jerk' issue and focus on the rules question please. :D

Brian and Steven both say that opening doors is part of movement and that the doors only close at the end of movement. I think the rules disagree.

I am at work now and can't get access to a copy but we read the page several times last night. As I say in my OP, the movement section describes the 3 steps of movement and says you can repeat these steps as often as you like during your movement phase. They are very clear that opening a door is a separate step to entering the room and, after you have opened the door, entering the room is optional.

At the bottom of the same page is a paragraph which says that the doors close after each iteration of the movement steps.

I think the rules are written this way so that if you open or move through the same door twice in one movement phase you pay twice, but I think this also allows me to spend 9 minutes opening the same door in a flooded room like a jerk before I finally peg out.

While it's often quite reasonable to hurt your team in order to ensure your own survival (spending 10 minutes to extinguish a flame so you don't die, even though everyone else would surely live if you just spend 1 minute and sacrifice yourself).

After all, strictly speaking, you have to survive in order to be a winner.

But, hurting the team when it does NOTHING to ensure your survival just seems like kind of a jerk thing to do. It's king making, except you aren't actually making anyone king. It's like coming up to me at a restaurant and knocking my plate of food on the ground because you can't afford to it. Very childish.

If you were at least stealing my food, then at least there is some kind of reasonable motivation...

Yeah, the doors only close after movement.

However, movement into a room that you open the door to is optional. So at best, you could open multiple doors connected to the room you're in, using up 3 or 4 minutes that way.

Oh, and by the way, way to be a team player. Always nice to know that if your buddy can't escape, he'll make sure you'll die too. :p

Opening a door is part of movement. So you couldn't open a door, not move, let the door close and expect to be able to open it again to burn another minute.

OK, so tonight we played a couple of games of this and we had got 2 of the 5 players onto the 'rescued' spot when disaster struck - all those little puddles of low water suddenly became high water and the other 3 of us were all going to drown. It wasn't just that we were in a flooded room, all the adjacent rooms were flooded too, and you can't move into a flooded room.

I know, it is a brutal game, and me on the 9 space with the aqualung.

Anyway, a quick look round the table and it was clear that those of us with minutes left were not going to simply roll over and die whilst those other gnomes survived. We needed to wind down the clock as far as possible to get cards turned over and destroy that submarine. A couple of the tracks were near the end and if we couldn't win, nobody could.

You can't take an action in high-water room, and we couldn't move out either, but I reasoned as follows:

Movement is repeated iterations of:
1. Open a door (1 minute)
2. Rebalance the water (doesn't happen between 2 rooms at high water)
3. Move into another room (normally optional but not allowed when the other room is full of water).
The rules say you can repeat this as often as you like.

The rules also say that the doors close again after each iteration of the steps of movement.

So I say I could repeat the following 8 times to use up my minutes:
- Open a door
- No water rebalancing
- No movement
- Doors close
After which I would be on 1 minute. I would take no action (1 minute leaving me on 'rescued'), then drown in the update phase.

That let me turn over 5 cards.

Sadly, despite all of us following this procedure, the boat didn't quite go down (too many fires, not enough movement on the heat or pressure tracks).

So, I know it isn't really in the spirit of the game but what I want to know is - did we interpret the rules right?

Good point.

I didn't think about the abandoning ship part. Until I read this comment I didn't think this part of the game would really ever be used. I guess it's kind of a traitor role as in other co-op games.

Yes it would be nice if the rules stated what you were suppose to do. I've played 4 games and all of them we played with face-up tiles and open communication....only one win. I will add that the first game I played was at Con of the North in the Fantasy Flight Games room and they explained the game as playing with face up tiles.

Drowning and Fire only kill you if you are passed out or you end a turn in the space with them.

Since you won't have any more turns if you've reached the "rescued!" space, as long as you are conscious, fire and floods won't kill you while you are waiting for the rest of the gnomes to finish.

However, you can still die as a result of timed events, or any of the three tracks reaching the end.

Nothing to add here. It's correct the way Cameron says.

One time we ending all 4 gnomes at 0 spot in diffent rooms but ALL in fire. We still won.

After a gnome reaches 0 point the only way to be killed is by a timed event or a track reaches 0.

P.S. Watch out though if the gnome had drinked grog and failed the faint check maybe the ghost track can't go beyond 0 point but he is considered unconcious and THEN he can die if the room he is in catches on fire or flud.

Example: The gnome is on 56 place. He wants to fix something and since he only have 4 minutes to spent he decised to drink 2 grogs (+6 total). SO 6 minutes grog + 4 minutes = 10. Sucess. The gnome ends hiw movement in Zero space but unconcious.

Watch out then.

I would assume (thematically) that there is some sort of com system within the ship ergo you can play with all tiles face up.

I too like the idea of a "radio down" card so that this communication is not available.

I would think that it would require another timed chit. Once the radio is down it is down for a certain amount of time (+10 minutes?). Perhaps you could fix it in a certain room? Maybe one of the rooms that are "blank" would be good for this.

I don't doubt the perfection that is the blueprint of the R.N. I'm sure the Gnomish engineers have studied it extensively and figured out the optimum layout of components.

I can see, however, how it might be cool to do some alternate ships once you've got a goodly number of plays under your belt in the November.

Seeing as my girlfriend has only just purchased this I'm nowhere near bored with the layout. I'm just saying I can see it being cool to play in a different ship later on.

Same sort of thing as Ticket to Ride. Sure, the base game in the USA is fine... It's sort of fun to play in Switzerland for a change though.

An interesting idea, but perhaps an alternative: Placing it in the top room, which only connects to the central corridor. This room currently serves no purpose, so this would make it a little more important, rather than just an extra room to get lit on fire.

I rather like the idea of shuffling in the Kraken when someone draws an Aqualung. I might try this next time I play, as we've yet to actually have the Kraken occur in any of my games and it does seem like either never happening or likely doom, if no-one has an aqualung. Although admittedly, you could race to the equipment stores and frantically draw tiles, hoping to get one, I don't like your chances.

Another way to make things potentially more competitive is to give every gnome a virtual Aqualung. This makes it easier to deal with the Kraken and everyone has the option of trying to abandon their comrades in the last 10 minutes.

However, you do then need a reason why everyone shouldn't abandon ship at this point...

Possibly, only the first person to do so can abandon ship? Or, if more than one person does, the abandoners automatically lose?
I don't know, I'm just throwing out ideas.

Drowning and Fire only kill you if you are passed out or you end a turn in the space with them.

Since you won't have any more turns if you've reached the "rescued!" space, as long as you are conscious, fire and floods won't kill you while you are waiting for the rest of the gnomes to finish.

However, you can still die as a result of timed events, or any of the three tracks reaching the end.

Trying to work out what happens at the elusive game end. When a timekeeper reaches Rescued! that player obviously triggers more events, but also can take no more actions. If laggards are still taking their sweet time, can the player on Rescued! die in the room he's in (unless saved by the still-active gnomes)? I.e., by drowning or fire (or of course any timed events). That is, do all survivors get rescued at once?

I'm pretty sure that equals dead gnomes.

The amount of time to disasters doesn't change in 1 or 2 player if each takes a single gnome. Nor does the number of tiles when compared to the number of disasters.

What does changes is position - more time will be spent moving through the ship, something mitigated by more crew being spread out.

Choose 1 or 2 gnomes

Start the timer at 60 minute spot. When the timer for any player reaches 0, immediately "wrap around" and set it to the 59 spot.

E.g., if you're at 5 min left and take 13 minutes on your turn, your new marker will be at 52 minutes.

Resovle all events and item draws as normal.

The game is still quite easy, but at least a victory here won't feel as hollow.

Just to be sure: you don't forget the fact that every actions (except for pumping) costs an extra 2mn in a partially flooded room? This makes a lot of "lost time" if the best part of the sub is partially flooded.

Oh, and then there is this nasty event that rises all flood levels to completely flooded (I don't know the name in English, as I have the French version)

The only change I'd suggest is the people you play it with. :-) If your friends don't like coops, easier to just go with a different game. BUT I wouldn't give up on this one - give it a try with your family during the holidays. I find it great for such occasions, since it's easy to explain to non-gamers, and there's no hurt feelings since you're all in it together. The silliness, the grog, fun details in the theme - perfect holiday game.

Wow, I don't recall that card coming up that often. Anyway, I usually discard grog quite often when given the chance ("Stumble" and "Hand Limit" cards). I only hold onto grog when I have no other useful tools or I see a very specific instance where I will need it in the near future.
