Sorry if this isn't the thread for it, but does anyone have a suggestion for a newer fantasy book that's a fun read for setting and lore even if you dont get a chance to play it?

Wingspan worked pretty well Spire With Friends mod lmao, you can play cooperatively or even have a race to the top. In the vein of Wingspan, I guess there's also a good Steam (or browser) port for Dominion, too, if you haven't sank hundreds of hours into it already.

(I did not get very far with it, all it did was make me try Slay The Spire again). I'm going to assume you know the existing good ones (Through the Ages, Root, etc). Maybe instead of an app, maybe try BoardGameArena? It's not terrific on my phone, but is probably fine on a tablet. It's got a subscription model, but you can play a fair bit for free.

He's not a veteran who drops his opus, this is first foray and he comes up with a system that's a fantastic hybrid of Blades in the Dark and Fate, in a mind-blowingly cool universe, with wonderful prose, incredible art, really solid gameable advice, just flawless. No notes. Backed the follow-up at the highest level.

I just got this on the strength of these comments and it's gorgeous but ugggh the firefly term for gm is tooth grinding. I hope it stops annoying me soon lol. Also I'm not sure about the cutting mechanism (remove highest dice for hard rolls) mainly because it's such an unfun thing to roll well then not get to use it, but maybe it's fine in play. E: actually reading on that's probably fine, it's used as a trickshot modifier or as a gm tool to indicate difficulty. Love counting doubles too, might use that in my blades game. Ee: yeah this is great, so many neat ideas

My Monster of the Week game wrapped last night, which was the first time a campaign I was involved in ever made it to a finale. A very satisfying experience, especially since it was mostly first-time RPG players.

MYFAROG is an infamously racist TRPG setting by a former black metal mysician who was convicted of murder and setting fire to churches, yes.

From what I remember of a preview or review I once saw, it takes three separate rolls in its example of successfully fording a river. Not even any interesting losing-supplies mechanic for a crunchy-but-not-intolerable hexcrawling thing, just pointless roll after pointless roll for a binary result. Also, he's very upset over circumcision.

Monster of the Week is one of the few games I've played in (rather than GM'd) where the campaign truly finished, holds a special place in my heart.
