About halfway through season 6!  O0  How do you like the board game?

Not sure about performance issues.

leave it to Mirth to worry about 'performance issues'

Not a fan of Game of Thrones but that still looks pretty cool.

Yeah and it's actually not that bad gameplay wise. 

About halfway through season 6!  O0  How do you like the board game?

Season 6 is awesome.  I finished binge watching the entire series a few months ago.  Can't wait for Season 8!

The board game is actually pretty fun to play solo.  It's not overly complex but it's definitely not simple either.  The hard part playing solo is that you know what orders everyone will secretly play because you have to do the preplanning for every house yourself.  I imagine that with human opponents this game could be a good gateway game for friends who are not sure about board gaming. 

But as far as solo play is concerned, I'm having fun.  Really easy to get into and keep a rhythm going.  I find that when I play wargames I can only take so much before my brain gets fried.  (Yeah I'm getting old).

^Yeah, I'm close to wrapping up binge watching it. Great stuff!
Good to know solo play is fun. That's probably the only way I would play it.  O0

If told not to do it I'll stop but I've not read anything on the site that suggests it's a bad thing.

We're gonna overload the budget server GH is hosted on...LOL. ;)

Usually I upload them as is/large-sized, then change their size in the tag in the post if necessary.

I do the same with my pics, usually fairly large upload and resize in the tag.

I didn't come up with this either. I noticed that Airboy was using this technique in his AARs. http://grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=18129.0

It's a nice service for sure. I lost several of my AARs first with DropBox personal changing its Public folder policies, then Photobucket going all anal with their policies. So very happy to continue attach screenshots here, until told not to, of course.

I must be a Luddite 'cause I can't get the bl**dy thing to work  :pullhair:

I read GMT's notes on their next Expansion reprint for it.

Apparently they had included a set of thicker counter replacements for the earlier print runs of the core game.  Since the expansion has counters of different thickness.  But they're not including those replacements in the new Expansion print run. 

Having an earlier print run of the core game, if I were to pick up the new run Expansion, my counters would be different thicknesses.   :pullhair:  Doesn't entice me to pick up the xpac.

OK, so how do I change the image size, please?

I believe there's no other way but resizing the image (or a copy of it) before attaching it here.

Ok so now that the photo is attached, view your post like anyone else would and click on the photo. It will appear huge! Right click on the huge photo and copy.  Now edit yer post and put in the regular image link stuff and save yer post. That should work.... although my Win10 no longer copies picture links by using the copy function for some reason so I have to open the page with IE11...

This is the large image with a width of 900px applied to it. The forum code looks like this:

{img width=900]http://grogheads.com/forums/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=13.0;attach=12391;image[/img}

Just replace the { } with [ ] and it will be renedered as an image instead of as code.

[Staggerwing]

You can't resize the attachment in the post window but you can do as Barth suggested and copy actual the url of your attachment and then past it into the body of your post as a link using the img/img tags. If it show up YUGE in preview then you can edit the leading image tag itself from [img] to [img width=xxx] where xxx is the pixel size across. 400 to 800 is a good place to start, then adjust as needed.


EDIT: as Mirth just did...

Good to know. I think there was a Grogcast that discussed this very thing- was it good or bad that reprints/add-ons/expansions improved component quality but were different from the original ones.
