Now that that is finished, presumably he will get on to these. Maybe after Endeavor? <br> <br>Game production is far from an exact science, but it would be nice to know if progress is being made. <br> <br>I really like the idea of combining the Dragon expansion and the Water expansion. We've waited long enough, why not reward us with two at once? http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3647890#3647890 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3647890#3647890 Sat, 04 Jul 2009 05:52:45 +0000 dumpty Reply: Prophecy:: General:: Re: It is possible to use Talisman Characters with this game? <p>by <a href='http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/Harv'>Harv</a></p> All Prophecy characters have one of three stat configurations: <br> <br><font color='#FF0000'>3 Strength</font> <br><font color='#0099FF'>6 Magic</font> <br> <br><font color='#FF0000'>4 Strength</font> <br><font color='#0099FF'>4 Magic</font> <br> <br><font color='#FF0000'>5 Strength</font> <br><font color='#0099FF'>2 Magic</font> <br> <br>1 Strength is equivalent in value to 2 Magic. In the game, you tend to earn points in both at the same rate, i.e. you tend to gain 1 Strength point or 2 Magic points at a time. <br> <br>I know that Talisman uses Strength and Magic, at starting levels of between 1 and 6 points. I can't recall details about how you gain points in them. <br> <br>I suspect that Talisman characters would certainly work for Prophecy, but they wouldn't be balanced. Also, you would have to assign Guilds to them so they can take advantage of the Ability cards. <br> <br>If you really want some new characters for Prophecy, you can always check my homebrews in the files section! They <i>are </i>balanced (oh yes they are). :ninja: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3641443#3641443 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3641443#3641443 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:12:38 +0000 Harv Reply: Prophecy:: Rules:: Re: Who gets to pick (health or card) the winner or loser? <p>by <a href='http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/trippercook'>trippercook</a></p> Good to know.....Thanks. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3641403#3641403 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3641403#3641403 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 14:02:40 +0000 trippercook Reply: Prophecy:: Rules:: Re: Who gets to pick (health or card) the winner or loser? <p>by <a href='http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/Harv'>Harv</a></p> <div><font color=#2121A4><b>trippercook wrote:</b><br><i>Does anyone know for sure which answer is right?

The losing player can choose what happens to her character. She can either lose 1 Health, or she offers her Items to the winner, who can take any one Item (including an Artifact). If the loser decides to offer an Item, she cannot change her mind when she sees which Item she will lose. If the losing player has no Items, then she must lose a Health. <br> <br>Usually it is not such an advantage to attack another character, because the loser will choose to lose Health instead of an Item. An exception to this is if an opponent is seriously wounded and cannot afford to lose any Health, or while using some Abilities from Thieves’ Guild. Otherwise, it typically does not make sense to attack other characters in the early stages of the game. Battles between characters are much more useful during the Final Battle (explained later).</i> <br> <br>Prophecy seems to discourage PvP combat, which in my opinion is a good thing. There is already competition for the various resources on the board. Making playerkill a viable option would hand the most tanked-out player too much of an advantage. Personally, we never play with the Final Battle ending, and declare the player who collects the most Artefacts the winner. But then we're librarians, so what do you expect. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3641380#3641380 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3641380#3641380 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:55:39 +0000 Harv Reply: Prophecy:: General:: Re: Expansions? <p>by <a href='http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/Harv'>Harv</a></p> <div><font color=#2121A4><b>elfrododumbo wrote:</b><br><i> :( <br> If any game deserves an expansion , this is the one.</i></font></div> <br> <br>Check out my homebrew expansions, in the files section. :ninja: <br> <br>Improved version with beautiful artwork coming imminently... :blush: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3641353#3641353 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3641353#3641353 Thu, 02 Jul 2009 13:48:43 +0000 Harv Reply: Prophecy:: Rules:: Re: Another quick question... <p>by <a href='http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/Harv'>Harv</a></p> <div><font color=#2121A4><b>scottandkimr wrote:</b><br><i>You have to wait for the chance card.</i></font></div> <br> <br>Yes, when you arrive at a Guild there may be two, one, or zero Ability cards there for you to choose from.

Don't get stuck on a monster that is too tough for you or you can easily waste several turns. Just move on and head for better opportunities around the board. I think it is a very worthy game that has improved on Talisman by an exponential amount. I enjoyed my 2 or 3 plays of it, although it can run long.

I love Talisman as a whole but find it lacking in character progression. <br> <br>I was looking to get either this or Runebound. I found a variant to use the Runebound character deck talents like Prophecy has the training, but I was curious if I can use Talisman characters in this game. <br> <br>If so I would rather get this game since it's an "advanced talisman". http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/419771 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/419771 Tue, 30 Jun 2009 15:02:33 +0000 boricua1111 Reply: Prophecy - Dragon Realm:: News:: Re: English version coming: Thanks Z-man! <p>by <a href='http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/Harv'>Harv</a></p> <div><font color=#2121A4><b>DaviddesJ wrote:</b><br><i><div><font color=#0B5C0D><b>elfrododumbo wrote:</b><br><i>Wonder if the two expansions will end up coming out at the same time :laugh:</i></font></div> <br> <br>Why is that funny?

And as players get stronger, cards don't last as long, so the board actually starts to empty. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3610444#3610444 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3610444#3610444 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 14:26:06 +0000 curtc Reply: Prophecy:: Rules:: Re: When to draw chance card? <p>by <a href='http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/themightyhump'>themightyhump</a></p> Yep, you played it correctly. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3610369#3610369 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3610369#3610369 Wed, 24 Jun 2009 14:09:26 +0000 themightyhump Reply: Prophecy:: Rules:: Re: When to draw chance card? <p>by <a href='http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/trippercook'>trippercook</a></p> That's how we played last night but I thought that we could be playing wrong because the chance cards run out so quick and the board gets realy cluttered with cards.

It’s quite possible that the player in the lead could meet the requirements to profit from such cards. Players also have no knowledge of when such cards are going to be draw, if you’re not the player with the least X at that very moment in the game you don’t benefit. <br> <br>I think my main problem with the game is that there is no reliable mechanic to ensure that those at the back of the pack can catch up. I've seen a few games where one player spends several rounds at the start of the game with bad luck (loosing health and missing out on rewards) while the another player is more fortunate and zips around amassing a great many items and killing monsters in their sleep. <br> <br>A game like Kingsburg has a system built in "every round the player with the least X gets a bonus". Such bonuses are guaranteed to go to the player who is losing and therefore helps stabilise any runaway leader issues. This is not the case in Prophecy. <br> <br>Even ganging up on a powerful character can be a waste of time as by the time you and any other willing players have moved into position to strike you are extensively outclassed. A wise leading player will also undoubtedly have some method of out manoeuvring you on the board (which they were more likely to be able to acquire through the constant stream of gold and experience they acquire simply by being the dominant force) therefore making the entire gambit folly. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3590244#3590244 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3590244#3590244 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:16:37 +0000 Kanachi Reply: Prophecy:: General:: Re: Run away leader? <p>by <a href='http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/Ghool'>Ghool</a></p> I play this one all the time with the Lady, and we've never experienced a runaway leader problem. <br>The luck of the draw might favour one player over another for a bit, but I find the point-to-point movement, and the fact that most of the cards are face up, it's a lot easier to mitigate bad luck by picking your fights, and being able to move where you want, rather than where you have to. <br> <br>I think the player who's falling behind needs to make more reasonable choices as where to move, and they just need to choose their fights better. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3590173#3590173 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/article/3590173#3590173 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 18:04:34 +0000 Ghool Reply: Prophecy:: General:: Re: Run away leader? <p>by <a href='http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/JYoder'>JYoder</a></p> <br>I haven't found too many runaway leaders problem because many of the Chance cards favor the one with fewer of a certain resource, which helps, which helps.

Bad luck at the start of the game can ruin you. The real problem is that as the game goes on things just seem to snowball more and more in the favor of the person who is in the lead. <br> <br>Has anyone else had this problem? do you have an ideas how to fix it? <br> <br>- kanachi http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/416463 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/416463 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 16:15:45 +0000 Kanachi File: Prophecy:: Prophecy City Character and Ability Cards <p>by <a href='http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/Harv'>Harv</a></p> Prophecy City Character and Ability Cards for Board Game: Prophecy ]]> http://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/43146 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/43146 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 13:24:05 +0000 Harv File: Prophecy:: Prophecy Character Cards <p>by <a href='http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/Harv'>Harv</a></p> Prophecy Character Cards for Board Game: Prophecy ]]> http://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/43139 http://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/43139 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 17:51:51 +0000 Harv Reply: Prophecy:: General:: Re: Prophecy board variant <p>by <a href='http://www.boardgamegeek.com/user/UniversalHead'>UniversalHead</a></p> No worries.
