I am okay with Betrayal Legacy, but I can’t play more than one game at a go without feeling that Betrayal’s core fickleness is fucking with me. I never liked Betrayal sometimes coming down to a die roll if you’re prepared for the second half of the game.

It’s tone is also damn fickle, whether it’s going to be Black Adder or The Shining.

And finally, the rule book is so painfully vague.

For example, there’s a part where you can jump off a bridge and draw cards to represent the outcomes, but the revealed rules don’t say what to do with those cards after being drawn. The Haunt, however, did.

Don’t get me wrong, I like the meta plot and absolutely adore the role playing, but it didn’t take time to fix some of core Betrayal’s biggest issues and that’s too bad.

@Sab : What do you think about Dark Moon, aka BSG Express?

@thenomain It's pretty funny, but I doubt AI wrote this. It reads very much like a human writing AI writing it.

Okay, So you’re right, but tell me this isn’t impressive even for a human to sound enough like a bot to come close to some of the more insane bot things out there.

Good comedy is good.

Four More Swamps!

I'm honestly impressed that the machine learning created a credible, if surreal, dialogue about milk.

Los Ageless has been my no-shame on-repeat song lately. Raw but not angry.

Crush by Tessa Violet, too, who I discovered through Pomplamoose. I like the video more than just the song, but because I like the surreal camera treatment and that she looks like a normal average every-day person.

I hope to be Volund when I grow up.

There's no day like today.

Shhh. In order to make a suit of his skin he has to be unsuspecting.

@derp

No, mixes RPGs with Cardboard. (Yes I know they're more jewel-encrusted platinum, what with how much some of the kickstarters are getting these days, but you know what I mean.)

@ominous said in The Board Game Thread:

I think most people would lump card games into board games. We could call them tabletop games, but that would lump Pen & Paper games into the category too.

Kickstarter does this and bugs the everloving crap out of me.

Continuing my "day of irony", the religious part of Christmas was originally relocated on the calendar to push out a different religion.

I bought myself $50 of Steam Sales. It was hard to keep myself to $50.

@arkandel

You know, I noticed that after testing the site that you said 'username/email' and not 'username/password'.

I left it up to continue showcasing just how much attention I pay to you plebs.

...And I got super-burned the last time I changed things dramatically, so no more of that.

It's a good idea to plug your username/e-mail into https://haveibeenpwned.com/ now and then to see if it was ever included in a breach.

Speaking of irony: It's kind of ironic to enter your password into a third-party website to see if it's been pwn'd.

Because who doesn't love rolling the world into a ball?!

probably communists

Funny you should say that, because the game was designed to be a criticism of consumerism. That’s why he didn’t do a sequel. Kind of defeats the purpose.

I'm guessing it's on TTS?

It is, though its implementation is...okay. Could be a lot better, but it's still fun.

@auspice said in The Board Game Thread:

After watching some videos about it, I really want Sagrada. Has anyone else played it?

Imagine Yahtzee, but on a grid, and everyone else keeps taking your goddamn dice.

A++, would recommend. Best with 3+.

I once broke my nose mowing the yard.

I'm just imagining a "generic white person failing in advertisement" type situation where you're just casually mowing the lawn and suddenly your nose snaps.

Don't you hate it when this happens to you?!

Well...well...I have allergies and sometimes have asthma.

...that is literally the worst my body has thrown at me so far. I mean, besides the crippling anxiety. I know my days are numbered, but there you go.

As we close out 2018, a year that was tiring and stressful, I think we can all come together on one thing:

Fuck 2016.

May 2019 be something more than another repeat of it.

@misadventure said in The Board Game Thread:

For a brief moment i thought y'all were complaining about the card game Gloom.

An amusing story-telling card game with the right crowd, but wildly over-rated.

Unlike Lunch Money, which is a terribly designed game play-wise, but is fun as hell playground-insult-wise.

@paris

I have never been accused of reading closely. Or at all.

@Taika ! What did you get?!
