Oh, honestly I just meant it more as a general endorsement of CCCC by pointing out what I like about a thread in it, not like, hey everybody, come on in.

I wish there was a byob version of the tradgames forum, I have come and gone over the years and last time I tried to engage it was just a lotta really angry people that were convinced any opinion that did not outright glowingly accept theirs meant you were the worst person on the planet

I just wanna post like byob posts except in the one tg thread I made that is three pages of me rambling about very large Dungeons

We should start a tradgames thread in BYOB. I have a lot of dumb questions I need answered about dragons, but also dungeons.

i would be entirely fine with you making a trad game thread here in byob, with your byob friends tbh
Like, I like TG and post in there myself, too, but if you want to import some fun from there to here that'd probably be exciting!

I used to work in a shop that sold trad board games and had an encyclopedic knowledge on what each one was about.
Only problem is (apart from the old mb family favourites) I have only ever really played Catan, Camel up and a cool card game called citadels, so I think I would also get laughed out of such thread.

Fake edit. Yeah ok, Carcassonne, bit of d and the old d, and village as well, but I think that's still not enough.

yah Carcassonne! We play it with our little girl. super pared down rules, with no real scoring, and only now slowly introducing the rule where you can only play your meeple on the tile you just laid. She's finally figured out how to take turns with more than just two players, and is getting good at matching the sides on the tiles. we have the big box set with 5 of the expansions included. Everyone's fav is playing the shepherd, and drawing for sheep I put all the tokens in a little bag, so you reach in and see if you get a sheep or if you get a wolf, yah gotta howl woooooooooooooh!

On the other end of the spectrum, it has a nice thick rule book pamphlet, if you like to do a lot of reading to understand the game before you play your first round. (It's not a big rule book when compared to RPGs, but it is much more substantial than boardgames like candyland)

Great fun for the whole family.

citadels is fun but then i discovered both Love Letter and Coup and it turns out the thing i like about citadels is figuring out other people's secret character and making moves based off that, and don't really care much about the building-structures part of it!

Carc is pretty good!
There was a slightly clunky mobile version that was ok to learn the rules with, though it sucks not playing with real people.

My partner has a big birthday coming up in January and normally we would have done an ambitious bucket list trip to celebrate, and well that ain't happening and she's pretty bummed about it. I said she should just stay *9 for another year but she wasn't buying it. I had a friend who stayed *9 for years so I know it can be done though.

How Wonderful!

I love Love Letter so much.

I've been staying 29 for many years now, I recommend it. Tell her HBD from me and I hope she's going to have a fantastic birthday regardless.

Whenever I have a student make a wild guess out of nowhere at what my age is I just tell them they're right and that's my age for the semester. I'm currently a startling 24.

i do this to my coworkers too. when they say "it's my birthday today! i'm 23" and I go "wow me too" and thanks to the mysterious dry humour auras which surround me they go, semi-awed and also questioningly, "really???"

Ass-penny

Games are fun and good and I'm shocked how many adults I meet who never strayed from Milton Bradley games and even stopped playing those as teenagers. Sometimes when I introduce a game to someone they are shocked by the fun they have and I'm just across the table like, "yup, games are awesome."

Just saying hi to the YOB before I go to work. Hope y'all are having a good day.

you should have one of those ai things write poems in the style of various poets, whip it out in class without telling the students what you did, and ask them to critique it

Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a
patient etherized upon a table

Let us go then,

Till man and beast prove,

That they are man’s complement.

For the questions of the Day

Rest with the gods.

---
e:

Complacencies of the peignoir, and late
Coffee and oranges in a sunny chair,
And the green freedom of a cockatoo
Upon a rug
that swings in a breeze,

I have awakened to the horror of the

Pact of the Combahee River,

With a promise to each other never to say

A word of heresy to any one,

And by a pact that was there made

In common intent, with sworn

Hands laid upon this breast that there

Would be no cutting off of heads,

But freedom ever increasing

And the breasts would be as soft

As those of a woman.

***

What was that dream?

When I awoke I had become convinced that the negroes must be freed.
