So.  Last night’s star saga session was a bit of a mixed bag.  The players enjoyed it but as the Nexus player (the GM) it feels really one sided.  So much so that I have passed feedback to Mantic about it.  We played three missions and by the end of thd third mission I hadn’t managed to even come close to hitting the victory conditions.  The Nexus always seems to have a victory condition of “cripple x heroes”  which is basically just take them out of action.  The problem is that in almost every situation the heroes roll 3-4 times the number of dice that minions roll and on a turn by turn basis they have more activations.  As the nexus, despite having more models available you activate less of them AND they’re significantly less effective.  Compared to its predecessor, Dungeon Saga, I have to say it felt far to easy for the heroes.  It even got to the stage where the heroes where actively ignoring the bad guys because, quote, “we can take their attacks”

 

Hobby on hold now for a few days.  But doing my best to start getting into the festive spirit

Cheers
