I'm not sure if it's down to the rules, the way the rules are presented or down to me, but I just cannot manage it. I put an incredible amount of effort into parsing and running the sample adventure for the downright recondite Weapons of the Gods, so Wulin seemed much easier to grasp, but I am extremely Jenna Moran poisoned at this point and have run Continuum more then once so my mind has likely been bent out of shape by so many tomes of forbidden wisdom.

Continuum’s a different ball game. It’s clear how to run most of it (except the Greatest Game), it just has some completely crazy requirements in the process and makes it a pain to work out what the PCs should do.

Anyone have anything good to say about Light, Nova or Slayers, all by Gila RPGs? I thought the Slayers ashcan was interesting if flawed (I've not seen the final version), and I've liked the bits and pieces I've seen of Lumen stuff over time (Infinite Revolver is very cool). He has them on sale as part of the Creator Day sale and I'm debating whether to pick some or all of them up.

My opinion is that the good and/or interesting Lumen stuff is being done by other people (e.g. Blazing Hymn or In Extremis) and the really good Lumen stuff doesn't exist yet but is coming.

Had a rainy day yesterday so we spent a lot of time playing “Lego minifig adventure” aka super simple DnD. Teaching my daughter to be the DM while we play with her brothers. A couple of dice and some Lego and you can have fun anywhere. Here we are rolling for initiative on our attempt to board the pirate ship in rough waves.

We nearly had some deus ex machina events where I kept the dog from rolling around enough to destroy the set. The first time we played I was solo parenting while my wife was on a girlfriends trip last year, it easily took up 8+ hours of our weekend. We explored magical forests, ice caves, and the final dragon boss fight had realistic fire damage effects. A+ would recommend playing with your kids, they really get into the dice rolls.

It looks like a banner at PAX-U prematurely announced that there's going to be a Gloomhaven RPG coming! The stream (on the pax channel on twitch) which was supposed to announce it will start in an hour. Oops. I can tell you it is no kind of D&D clone, 5e sourcebook, etc. But if you ever wanted a Vermling Brute or an Inox Mindthief, it's gonna be there. I'm super excited - the world needs more tactical RPGs, imo.

Is this the right place for board game recommendations? I'm looking for something in the vein of Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective. Basic idea is something that can be played by 2 to around 5ish players (solo not required but might a bonus), pub friendly (so no hundreds of tiny bits or poo poo that takes a whole dinner table) and simple rules and gameplay. Mythos Tales seems to be very much SHCD but Ctulhu. Has anyone played it?

I have Mythos Tales. The couple of cases I've done were decent, but the writing is a very noticeable tier below SHCD There's really not much like it really. Chronicles of Crime is good but I'm not sure if it's pub friendly. There are plenty of videos of it online so you can judge for yourself if it's too much table stuff

Mythos Tales seems to be very much SHCD but Ctulhu. Has anyone played it? You can come to the Board Game thread. Now, when you say you've played SHCD, there are multiple boxes so I don't know if maybe you've just played original box The Thames Murders. Have you tried the fourth box from 2020 called SHCD: Baker Street Irregulars? If you haven't, then drop everything and get it. It is the same SHCD formula except but it's with some creative innovations that makes it even better. I cannot say enough good things about this game. They aren't the same, but you could also look into the Exit series or the Unlock series of games, thought they're more puzzle-based than being rooted in narrative logical deduction. I've gotten on well with the Exit series and not had the same success with the Unlock series, but they might be worth a try.

Definitely make sure you played all the Sherlock ones first. Also The Quiet Year is an amazing bar game. It only needs simple things (paper, pens, cards) so it lived in my work bag for years and years for just that purpose.
