Any of you folks gotten the chance to play Empyreal yet? I really don't wanna shell out for it right now, but I loved Argent, and since this probably isn't coming to retail, well...

It's pretty good! There are a ton of videos out there, 15 bucks will get you TableTopSim for the PC, and discord will get you the mod so you can play online.

I don't want y'all bringing your titty miniatures to a game with me for the same reason I don't want you to rock up with your porn collection. You getting off ain't why we're here. And advertising with a pin up mini is bad because reducing female representation to a sexualised billboard is bad. It's the same reason why a Hollywood movie being advertised with just stills of the nude scenes would be in crappy taste.

My friend's Kickstarter for a board game called Party Fowl just went live: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/159466030/party-fowl-the-game-of-drunk-ducks It's drawn by KC Green!  quote:Party Fowl: The Game of Drunk Ducks is a card-based, light strategy game with area control mechanics on a modular board. Players win by playing cards that dominate specific topics of conversation, sabotage other players, and transform their characters into party legends and the coolest ducks on campus.

You're trying to argue against the point of bad taste with a Lars von Trier movie where the O on the title is fonted as stylised labia?

A little pricy, but the original Herbaceous is still getting play, and offers nice decisions in an ultra light framework, and I've heard good things about Sunset Over Water, so I'll add that on too. deadwing fucked around with this message at 15:49 on May 22, 2018 |

Sunset over Water is really enjoyable. It's one of those games that looks super chill and friendly, then you realize that it can be significantly more aggressive as you cut people off. I really enjoyed Herbaceous, so I guess I'm in for this. I also ended up going for Empyreal, since it seems like a good addition to my collection. I do need to thin mine out a bit, but oh well.

It's that good as a fast little strategy game that's also absolutely gorgeous.

Look if you can expect anyone to do a proper job of managing the tracks it's Lovecraftian Sailor Moon. Doesn't change the fact that this is clearly a case of the character namer falling asleep on their keyboard and the designers just rolling with it.

I just backed one of those tiny wallet sized games, Sprawlopolis. It's only $10, and looks like fun. It's got 3 days left. I get that it's more a promotion for their game of the month subscription, but I think I'll be alright with just the one.

I'll be sure to pick this one up; I'm a sucker for solo games.

Sprawlopolis looks pretty neat but it doubles the cost of the game to ship it to Australia which is pretty steep for 18 cards.

FOMO is really getting to me with respect to both Empyreal and Ortus Regni. I shall resist it, but if I hadn't already done a CSI order this month it might be another story.

My copy of journal 29 came and I got a chance to do the first 11 puzzles on my train ride to work. First impression is favorable, the puzzles are nice and not too gimmicky. You will have to Google for some things by design, but the game isn't popular enough that I've had spoilers come up when doing so. I haven't gotten any puzzles yet that need any bending of paper or anything. My one complaint is that some of the text can be hard to read, especially when it's just letters instead of a word. If recommend it based on my experience so far and will be backing the KS tonight. Edit: A link to the ks for the sequel.

There definitely some obscure phrasing that I read completely wrong and googled and it autocompleted "journal 29" after that phrase. No spoilers though just took you to the hint forum.

I guess I was expecting more maximalist wacky bullshit like Argent. Empyreal feels too...safe? Like, it's pretty basic route-building? I can get that from Thurn un Taxis or whatever. I was hoping for 18XX with ludicrous game-changing spells. gutterdaughter fucked around with this message at 15:14 on May 23, 2018 |
