Next comp?
 

We haven't played NPP in a long time. The version before the UI change?

Maybe Blackguards again, without artifacts being nuked?

rocketband with a si ring

Rocketband with a HE mage starting with two Rings of the Mouse. Or a kobold rogue with a rod of detection. You'd have to be impossibly lucky to get detection spells otherwise.

Was that a thing? I thought it was just random.

Apparently it was a thing - I feel a bit more sane now :)

Yep, an instance where I demonstrably ruined the game :D

So I could've had DUPLICATE artifacts and instead I got none??? :( :( :(

No, no. You see the original devs ruined Moria by adding artifacts, you're just finally fixing it. Next up you need to remove firing in any direction other then the 8 cardinal directions.

We could try NPP.
Nick should never blame himself for the development bug. It happens, flip that. My win was flawed, because the best players were stripped the chance of winning. I know I did a good run, but the fact that guys pursuing me never had a chance, makes the win flawed.

Let's go for NPP :)
