Don't be sad! Games are meant to be played!
Remember the joy it was to actually be the first to ever open that particular box. Remember the joy of popping out the tiles and cutting the minis free from the sprues?

I let a friend borrow my copy of Suikoden II on Playstation, with the games' guidebook. I never saw them again.

Do you honestly think ppl would want to buy an empty box??

Also, I keep track of points by writing them down!

But having the content in original (especially mint) box does raise the price quite a lot.

I didn't mean to sell it, but have it. I have boxes for base game (Obviously), KK and MotM only :(

You kidding, right!?
Karak Varn, empty box (German Kellar's Keep): sold it for 15 € when it was the only expansion box I had.
Morcars Magier, without box: sold for 95 €, buyer offered another 40 € for a box if I could find one.

That's helpful, yeah. I prefer to use Skull blips from BattleMasters for the monster BP.
I'm fiddling around with ideas.
A) Use a BP scale (like in AtOH) for all monsters of the same type in a room. Difficult keeping track when they actually scatter.
B) Use that same BP scale for all monster types with 2 or more BP during the entire quest.

You know, I had players telling me "No, that monster I just hurt already had only 1 BP left", when in truth that was the monster next to it.

Another idea I had:
C) Copy an empty quest map and scribble monster movements in there appointing numbers and BP to them at their starting square. Safe, but way too complicated.

I think like those skull blips. My players know there's not gonna be sweets & candy if they debate this kind of *lemony goodness* with me.
Maybe I would make up my mind if it would be possible to make a lot of Seb's bases with the dialer for like, say, cheap.

I would like to have an empty box of the English Ogre Horde and Wizards of Morcar. My copies didn't come with the boxes. But I can't afford to pay the prices people want them for on eBay. :fimir:
