Paid Members Thunderplex Posted January 4, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 4, 2020 I got Mage Knight off wifey, not had chance to play yet as it’s a biggy!  Treated myself to wingspan and fallout wasteland warfare.  Played Oh my Goods! A hell of a lot, cracking little game, will be starting the Longsdale campaign soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanilla Monopoly is a gruelling battle of attrition where the winner has been decided after the first lap. I think Hasbro know this and all the licensed expansions have hard time limits and gimmicks that flip ownership quickly. Still a shit core game though. @Thunderplex - let me know how the Fallout game plays. Is it a Warhammer-esque skirmish game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobra_gordo Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I got the D&D Essentials for Christmas set after weeks of subtle hints to the wife. I keep opening the box and glancing at the rule book but it feels so daunting. I've had a bit of a peruse on Youtube but I'm worse than my kids when it comes to watching long videos on there, I want accessible chunks but even the "Creating a character" videos are 30-45 minutes long and it's taking the fun out of wanting to learn to play. Can anybody point me in the direction for some good online learning material? Failing that I reckon I might learn better just getting a seasoned DM to take me through a few encounters and just using a pre-built character sheet.

Go find a local game shop. They should be happy to bring in a new guy and show them how to get started. Just quizzed my D&D obsessed son. He recommends this for beginners. https://youtu.be/-oIIZJeVGpc  Edited January 6, 2020 by Onyx2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 I'm sure Carcassonne and Ticket to Ride will have been mentioned here a few times, so if you're curious, you have until next Thursday at 4pm to get PC versions of them both for free: https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/carcassonne/home https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/ticket-to-ride/home (I know this is contrary to the thread title, but although it's video game related I reckon it's slightly more relevant to readers of this one than What Play You. At least you've heard of them.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not played the skirmish game yet.  Off the week after next so hoping to get some me time to go through it properly.

Paid Members Thunderplex Posted February 9, 2020 Author Paid Members Share Posted February 9, 2020 Been playing lots and lots of Wingspan recently. Â Bloody amazing game about a very boring subject. Â The automa flows really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
