I approve of this change for all rounds except round 9. There's a tactical advantage to being the last to drop out - it's a minor advantage when the bonus die is all that's at stake, but it's a huge advantage during round 9.
Also, what's the Fortune Teller event this round? Some of them can change bag composition, so definitely need to know before I start rolling.Mish-Mash Janitor

Yeah, it looks like Nancy quoted my die roll specifically. Basically, it means you didn't actually roll the die - you just copied the results I got. Static shows up when a roll is quoted or edited.
Static should not show up on preview; if you preview a die roll, it'll re-roll the die when you actually post. Example:
Original Roll String: 1d5001 500-Sided Dice: (60) = 60
On preview, this is a 218. Let's see what it is on post.
(If it's a 218, I am going to be annoyed.)Mish-Mash Janitor

To give a sense of the timescale involved here - this first round, we only have nine tokens, and we won't be drawing all of them ... anywhere from 3-8 of them, depending on how lucky we are. So if we're all waiting for each turn, Round 1 could take anywhere from 3-8 turns, but probably closer to 8 than 3.
We'll be getting more tokens each round, though - figure each round will add 1-2 turns per round, trending closer to the higher end than the lower end.
Now that I think about it ... I retract my objection to Round 9, as long as we still have the option of waiting for people to catch up.Mish-Mash Janitor

You can keep going as long as your Bombs add up to less than 8. If they ever equal or exceed 8, you're forced to stop (KABOOM!). If you stop before they hit 8+, then you get money (buys) and points. If you stop after they hit 8+, you get money OR points; one or the other, but not both.
If you draw again, you'll roll a die one size smaller - 1d7 instead of 1d8.Mish-Mash Janitor

You'd roll a 1d7 to draw another tile from your bag.In post 49, Nancy Drew 39 wrote:What die do I draw?Mish-Mash Janitor

Still waiting for the rules change to be OK'd before I start charging ahead.
You've OK'd it. I've OK'd it. Felissan didn't explicitly OK it, but is playing in accordance with the rules change so I'm assuming she's okay with it.
Nancy hasn't expressed an opinion on it yet that I'm aware of, but is still taking one turn at a time. Snakes hasn't said it's in effect. If Nancy OKs it or if Snakes explicitly enacts it, I will push on to the danger zone and wait with everyone else.Mish-Mash Janitor

Whatever chip(s) you buy will go into your bag (and *only* your bag), where you can try to draw them next round (and every other round - once you buy them, they're yours until the end of the game). Having more things-that-don't-explode is always a plus, as it'll increase the likelihood of making more progress during the next round.
Higher numbers mean more progress, but the special powers the chips can come in handy as well.
PEdit> Pros of cashing in your rubies - improving your starting position means extra progress (and thus, extra buys and/or VPs!) every round for the rest of the game.
Cons of cashing in your rubies - rubies also refresh your Potion if you use it, and it really helps to be able to refresh it if you use it.
Rubies are worth 1 VP for every 2 left over at the end of the game, but saving them for end-game isn't usually all that helpful.
Acquiring more of them is definitely helpful, but it's variable at times whether having one more ruby or one more buy can be helpful. Like, I was happier with 10 buys / 0 rubies than 9 buys / 1 ruby, because 10 buys got me the Black 1 - which can pick up rubies and improve starting position by itself.Mish-Mash Janitor

Buying chips isIn post 111, Nancy Drew 39 wrote:Wait, I’m confused by this. Does buying a blue chip help me or not?alwayshelpful when it's possible to do so. Some chips are more helpful than others.
Normally, when you draw a chip, you have to immediately play it, like so:
Farren draws an Orange 1; Farren plays an Orange 1 and moves forward 1 step in the cauldron.
Farren draws a Bomb 3; Farren plays a Bomb 3 (whether he wants to or not), moves forward 3 steps in the cauldron, and is 3 steps closer to exploding.
etc etc.
When you draw a blue chip, you can choose not to play the next chip you draw. That chip goes back into the bag instead (where it could be drawn again on a future turn).
Farren draws a Blue 1; Farren plays a Blue 1 and moves forward 1 step in the cauldron.
Farren draws a Bomb 3. Farren uses the Blue 1 to toss the Bomb 3 back in the bag instead of playing it. Farren does not move forward in the cauldron, but does not get closer to exploding either.
It only applies to the next chip, so in circumstances like these, its power doesn't help.
Farren draws a Blue 1; Farren plays a Blue 1 and moves forward 1 step in the cauldron.
Farren draws an Orange 1; Farren could use the Blue 1 to throw the Orange 1 back in the bag, but why would he do such a thing? Farren plays the Orange 1 and moves forward 1 step in the cauldron.
Farren draws a bomb 3; Farren plays a bomb 3 (whether he wants to or not), moves forward 3 steps in the cauldron, and is 3 steps closer to exploding.Mish-Mash Janitor

Yeah, that's how I play it in-person. Usually a free-for-all, unless it's round 9 - then closed hand reveal with either a chip to press on or an empty hand to bow out.In post 115, inspiratieloos wrote:I've played the game only once, but I that time when it was relevant the thought was usually "I'll draw if they draw" and iirc the rule for those situations is that you both reach into your bag and if you want to pass you don't pick up any chips and reveal an empty hand.
I think the equivalent would be PMing the mod whether you want to draw of pass and if it happens someone can just say they'd like to draw/pass by PM, otherwise everyone just does their own thing in thread.Mish-Mash Janitor

Barring special circumstances, you're in exploding range if either of the following are true:
1) Your Bomb count is 6 or 7.
2) Your Bomb count is 5, AND you haven't drawn your Bomb 3 yet.
If your Bomb count is 4 or less, you will never explode on a single draw.Mish-Mash Janitor

The main advantage to keeping your Rubies: if you use your Potion and have Rubies on hand, you can recharge it at the end of the round by spending the Rubies on that. So saving a pair for Potion recharging can be useful.
The main advantage to spending your Rubies: you get one space of extra progress in your Cauldron every round for the rest of the game, which potentially leads to more Buys and VPs.Mish-Mash Janitor

The dice are never added together. The value of the die you roll tells you which chip you've drawn, based on your particular Bag table.
The value of the Bombs you draw are added together; if the value of your Bombs is higher than 7, your cauldron explodes.Mish-Mash Janitor

End of the line it is. Also occurs to me that I can't multi-draw with the Yellow in the Bag if my last draw was a Bomb, as the Yellow might change the value of the second die. Not a concern now, though.

Bingo. Okay, good, to know. If you're typing up a post with dice and someone else sneaks a post in, giving you the PEdit warning, that causes static dice.
Original Roll String: 1d71 7-Sided Dice: (3) = 3

That was a Bomb 1 and a Green 1, in that order. I'm back to a Bomb count of 4.
Count looks like this - I'm putting in the removed Bomb with a strike tag and including my starting bonuses to get a better sense of my progress:
Start 1, Rat 1, Black 1, Bomb 3, Green 1, Orange 1,Bomb1, Yellow 1, Bomb 1, Green 1.
Can definitely do one more draw. After that, we'll see.
