>Did you ever visit a convention? No >Why did you or would you ever visit a convention? With increasing age, I am beginning to think I would hate it. Where I had no problems with festivals and continous noisiness 10 years ago, I have begun to notice very large gatherings stress me out. Not in the faggot sense of oh no I am too sensitive I can't deal with it but rather in a well navigating through a crowded and noisy hall would cost me more energy than it's worth. >What news do you expect from Spiele Essen convention? Lotsa good games. Looking forward to takes on -60°C and Medico. And a lot of stuff that's not that hot I've forgotten the names of.

>Did you ever visit a convention? All the time - I try to go to a couple local ones and one on the East Coast and one on the West Coast each year.>Why did you or would you ever visit a convention? It's a great way to meet new gamers in your area and it's a great way to get into games you couldn't get your regular groups to play and get introduced to games that you don't particularly want to buy (ie Imperial Borders).>What news do you expect from Spiele Essen convention? Nothing. Spiel continues to underwhelm. Most of the good stuff gets announced during Origins now.

Introduced another couple of people to Ruins of Arnak. The second game was with the expansion.The expansion is all sorts of good stuff. The big thing is of course, the leaders. I love asymmetry in games, and while the leaders don't throw the game on its head, most have either something you would expect and want (more workers) or some interesting gimmick. These kinds of things may introduce some level of pigeonholing or dependencies and make the game more luck based, but the jury's out on that.New rule increasing the number of cards cleared from the market each round was very welcome and frankly necessary with how clogged up it constantly gets with shit nobody wants. I very much like how the Monkey temple concentrates reward tiles in one place so that people who pass first don't just gobble up all of them and get a compounding advantage on the research track.Overall, the game is getting more bloated and annoying to set up and tear down, but I think this expansion justifies itself. We'll see how it holds up after more plays.

Today I taught my 6 year old bullet today and a grand time was had. Timer based rounds is a bit beyond her, but seeing light bulbs go off on recognizing patterns, squeals of delight getting Star clear bonuses, and the smugness in sending a bunch of bullets Dad's way is an absolute treat to watch.

Am I crazy or just imagining this?Discord took over Facebook, which had replaced classic Forums which are 90% dead/gone now. If I want to find players, I'm best off hitting up every FLGS Discord in my area... but that wasn't an issue years ago. It worked great then. Now the invite links are hidden and/or expired and never refreshed, while the Facebook pages are half dead and/or older players only. I had to drive to the FLGS to get into the Discord to see how active any particular game is, and every FLGS Discord that doesn't make itself a walled garden is having issues with culling bots and spam every week.I just want to find players for games.

[/tg/thread/98830334#p98845595] picked up my 20 Strong today and played half a game to learn. First impression is that it's really quite cool that they've designed a seemingly deep and and immersive roguelike in a small box. I had fun and I'm about to play it properly now. Seems like there might be quite a bit of variation and potential builds between runs. I'm actually very curious how the other games in the series use the core bones of the game to implement different ideas - the only common feature as far as i can tell is the combat structure, the 20 dice and the dial but they all use it differently. I guess they all have the "pick a hero, defeat the bosses to win" thing though.The rulebook was somewhat confusing in one particular aspect, and I even followed along with their interactive tutorial app yet couldn't get clarification on something until I watched a Youtube video,The cards are really nice, great production. I know Chip Theory is known for that but I've only played their games like twice cus i'm a poorfag. Looks like there's a lot of game here, and it only cost me 23 GBP which is really good value considering the production quality and what looks to be quite a few hours of game.I don't mind the theming of Little Red Riding Hood yet I don't love the actual art direction, but it's nice enough.Anyone else played this series? I definitely want to try Etherfields and Tainted Grail eventually.You can play the deck I purchased on BGA if you're curious, I didn't know that until after I bought it though.
