Tonight’s stream of the Pro will be the deciding moment for me as to whether I order a Pro or not.

I just hope it doesn’t disappoint as this really is a dream theme for me.

Here it is:

I thought it'd help my pro v prem thoughts but I went back and forth while watching it... Still feel like pro is 95% of the game and the best value without a doubt.

Dragon voice almost every time on the pro must be able to be toned down as it's not that obnoxious on the prem.

 

[Alpha1]

I'll watch it tonight.

I think this game is a Pro all day long.

I need to move and build a new games room, then I might be in.

 

[Devil-Mish]

Well... I was all in and then someone decided to drop a mutant-sized spanner into the works so now I'm out.

It'll be torture to see all the press in the coming weeks / months but I'm still eyeing it up as a potential 3rd in 6 months time

Enjoy UXM! Can pick up a D&D later on or whatever else is in your wish list

Ordered a Pro at the weekend. First home table. Super excited. From Pinball.co.uk (Phil - who I think is on here?)

Big D&D fan as a kid - then ran a game for 2 years over covid for a bunch of friends.

Looks like lots of depth and a good one for home + lots of cool lighting etc.

I can't justify the premium however cool the moving dragon head is but... seems like less of an impact for a pro with this table (or that is what I keep telling myself).

Wife is not keen on the theme for the house, she wants a CFTBL really, but... this is my present, from me, to me, for being nearly 50...

Exciting times.

I've been using that excuse since I was about 45. I turned 50 at the end of January so need a new excuse now.

You still have birthdays after 50! well hopefully...

Played this a lot at Texas and my 1st game was before the show at Arcade 92 on Pro flavour. Sound was turned down to where you couldn’t hear it and 1st impressions was the huge overpowering dragons head / cave looked to take up a ton of real estate.
There were 6 of us there and absolutely no one liked it! However when we finally got to the show for me the premium redeemed itself. The dragon sweeping the playfield spitting balls was one of the best multiballs ever on a stern and few of us agreed on this.
I warmed on it as the show went on and revisited it several times and could see myself owning one some point.

What I liked
The way it played like a board game and the leveling up system. I am not a board game played but reminded me of early computer dungeon crawlers which I loved back then.
The dragon fight was brilliant but may get tired after a while. 6 ball multi ball he makes a hit when you drain and you when you hit his targets all the while he blocks and spits out balls.
Loved the levelling up system which suits theme and adds to the decent code update that was realised for the show.
On screen assets show that Dwight really is in touch with this franchise and captures it to a T. Travelling around and crawling through dungeons, rolling dice and turn based fights. This is a A+ and I can see fans of the board game loving it.
I think it will sell well stateside as the endless lines constantly formed behind the games throughout the entirety of the show.

Not so great
Art was ok but not groundbreaking in any way however didn’t see the LE as not one there.
Pro was lacking for me anyways, but if you can see past it shortcomings its almost the same layout.
12k or whatever the price for a premium just puts me off most pins now.
It was up against ED. Say no more

I'll definitely have a D&D at some point, but there's no point in NIB anymore, all the pins second hand will be HUO and I'll get an LE for 20-35% under retail, same for Pro or Premium.

I agree, but the problem is if no one buys new, where do the second hand come from.

Subject to the orange dickhead, I'll buy second hand from the US and hack it.

 

[Jib]

I’m getting a pro so there’ll be at least 1 used one at some point! I do think it’s one that will shine more when you can hear the audio so you can get more into the story and different characters

Well if no one buys new the prices have to come down to accommodate.
