And even if it was a heartless shill, who actually cares that much? Whatever, more talking about board games, less petty bullshit. I played Tammany Hall last night, was pretty interesting. Not usually my style of game, but once I got the hang of the strategy it was fun. Any recommendations for similar stuff?

They cared enough to buy me a title! Honestly, no shill at all. Trying to share a cool game with the community, I guess I missed the "must post X times to be cool with the OGs". Nonetheless, tonight will be doing a viewer game showing off Camp Grizzly. Never done full viewer interaction board game stream before. Have you tried Discworld:Ankh Morpork? That might fit what you are looking for.

Has anyone developed/found a good tool for drumming up local trades/sales? I am allergic to shipping costs and want to get rid of/exchange a ton of games. It looks like BGG's rudimentary API doesn't let you retrieve user locations even if they're public.

Twitch streams are viewed by decent amount of gamers as the domain of attention whores. You also used the word "unboxing," which also tends to set off red flags. I think if you made a post beforehand talking about this cool game you got called Camp Grizzly to check for interest first you would be in the clear.

7/10 for the guy buying people pictures of games they'd sooner eat than play. 0/10 for the sixth grader who just learned mean words at recess. Recently found a local store that does a (trans-inclusive) "Ladies Night" on Wednesday, gone a couple times now. Nothing over the top--mostly they just give you a free soda and the reasonable expectation that you can play games with other people who haven't jizzed on an anime body pillow in the past 6 hours. Introduced an older gal to Galaxy Trucker two weeks ago, and showed her the iPhone app. She came back this week with a hollow look in her eyes, and stories about scaring her coworkers by shouting "MOTHERFUCKER I'VE GOT GUNS ON EVERY ROW BUT THAT *EXACT* ONE YOU CHOSE" at her phone over lunch break. I've never felt so proud as an ambassador of this hobby. gutterdaughter fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Apr 4, 2015 |

Every time people talk about RPGnet as though it's the most passive-aggressive of the traditional games internet forums someone is always happy to remind me that on Something Awful people are willing to waste $10 a pop to badly insult someone, a thing they could just as easily do for free.

Reboxing videos might actually serve a purpose, especially for packed boxes like Caverna and stuff.

Make a series of unboxing videos which are just the same as the start of a Tom Vasel review.

I bought Luchador!: Mexican Wrestling Dice and basically it rules if you want to role play as a luchadore or a WWE character. I'm talking actually high-fiving your tag team partner and spouting your horrible impromptu tag lines, or just ripping off existing wrestlers. Also impersonating Jim Ross works too. Something like your first hit on a dude being a table slam, and then having your tag team partner yelling "OH MY GOD IS THAT LEGAL?" just feels SO RIGHT. e: the shipment with Luchador also came with Star Wars: Imperial Assault but that poo poo has a lot of words in its rulebook and I've been in a drunk-gaming mood lately.

Dungeon Quest is a terrible awful game because the title makes you think it's like Dungeon Lords or Dungeon Pets but it's actually completely different.

Similarly, Dungeon Lords is an awful game because it makes you think it'll be about dungeon crawling and then suddenly it's a worker placement?? What the gently caress vlaada I thought we were tight.

I wish i had enough SA street cred to earn a "bad" board game AV. I think Dungeon! would go well since it was one of my first board games back in the day, although I would also like HeroQuest. Both are not very good games. I taught two players Tash Kalar today at my FLGS, getting one of them to buy the box they had at the store, and the other guy put it on his list to get soon. Scyther posted:What's up bad game box avatar crew? Anyone up for a game of Elder Sign? I'd play it but I have a couple bad games in my collection that I legit enjoy, and Elder Sign is one of them.
