The game I played at GenCon used those rules. I managed to end the game without any corruption.  |

So I continue to enjoy this board game. But I have one thing that irks me. Taols are worth 2gp in the city and Harbor Moons are worth 50gp.
If they were Platinum Suns and Harbor Moons it would make sense. If it were Taols and Platinum Suns again it would make sense.
Does this bother anyone else? Has anyone else reconciled this? |
The party come to a town befallen by hysteria
Rogue: So what's in the general store?
DM: What are you looking for?
Rogue: Whatevers in the store.
DM: Like what?
Rogue: Everything.
DM: There is a lot of stuff.
Rogue: Is there a cart outside?
DM: (rolls) Yes.
Rogue: We'll take it all, we may need it for the greater good. |

Never really paid any attention to it, since it's not really relevant, in the board game. |

| But since Gelcur performed necromantic magics on this thread, it's reminded me that I ought to finish writing down my house rules for an added benefit/secret for the game that deepens the game because of the lore. No worries—I'll share the link when I get around to finishing those rules… |

Looking forward to reading Steven. This is one of our favorite games in our group and we wish they they would produce more expansions or even new versions set in different cities/regions.
I've always wanted to use the board as a backdrop for a quest in Waterdeep where, the players start off as adventurer "cubes" and advance their way up to agent "meeples" and eventually have the chance to become new Lord having the pick up playing a game halfway through. Almost like the chess board problems. |

Looking for an old post of mine and found this. Any chance you ever wrote these up?
Ed's novel Death Masks has a quick scene where the board game makes an appearance. Now I want to extend the optional gambling rules/mechanics from Three Dragon Ante to Lords of Waterdeep. |

Whoops. Life got in the way and this project fell out of my head and to-do list.
Keep after me as I know I'll get the ideas down but only if I'm forced to do so (and while you're at it, harrass me to scribble down a final form of "How to turn CARCASSONNE into a fun Forgotten Realms board game" as well).

I’d be down for that. CARCASSONNE has always been a favourite. Love to see something like this become a reality. |

| Color me intrigued, what's Carcassone? Will start googling it later. Is it a board game that my wife might enjoy (she enjoys Lords of Waterdeep, various Harry Potter games, Settlers of Cataan, etc...) |
