>>724151934Is Fifa meant to be a /sp/ thread?
>>724151808I think it is kind of illegal, but most game developers either don't care or get an actual benefit from people playing the games. Board games aren't cheap so you might as well try before you buy.

>>724151808Piracy isn't a bad thing. It made all sorts of software virtually ubiquitous. And even if millions pirate, hundreds of thousands will still buy things.
>>724152413>Only $350What's that, a McDonald's toy?
>>724152374/v/ plays games togethers? Let alone board games?
>>724152546Every time I see some fat neckbeard raving about how good Kingdom Death Monster and how they bought ever expansion I ask them how many times have they played it and they will always say a number less than 5, including 0.Dumbfucks are just buying the game for the coom miniatures and FOMO.
>>724151808It's not only legal, it's encouraged. 99% of board game developers--and shockingly, PUBLISHERS too--are 100% on-board with people stealing the assets and playing it through TTS. Hell, most new games have commissioned workshop uploads as well, or endorse ones that other people have made. Board Games are ironically one of the few gaming hobbies left that is still genuinely good and has a good energy in it.The only people that usually raise a stink are those trying to to sell their own standalone version, usually with crossplay with mobile, and wanting to sell a billion expacs, but they're also usually games not worth playing (and most players will just put the mod somewhere not on the workshop), so it all works out
>>724151808>Almost kills the entire game by removing global chat and forcing everyone to use ShitcordBravo
The sad truth is most board games are not that good and playing with friends irl is half the fun.
>>724151808I've printed so many hard to get games thanks to people uploading the mods to TTS, I love it so much.I get to play Splotter games without paying 200 dollars for some cards and ugly looking cardboard
>>724152805That's just what right-wing wokies say, as they didn't have any friends to play with and are too corrosive to fit in with any group of regular players, even those on 4chan
>>724152841What board games have you played?
>>724152803I have a stack of board games I only bought because I enjoyed them on TTS and I know several of my friends have done the same. Turns out piracy is good marketing. Nobody is gonna buy your game if they've never heard of it.
>>724152374What the fuck are you talking about?
>>724152927>Right wing wokies
>>724152158>instead of wasting money, scheduling shit for weeks and spending half the session setting up cardboard then never finishing it anon prefers to play board games with friends, eating pizza and getting drunkTTS is the only way to tolerate boardslop>>724152803>and most players will just put the mod somewhere not on the workshopStonemaier and Van Ryder recently went after the mod trading discord too. I have no sympathy for discord niggers but I have no idea if there's anywhere else people were uploading the copyrighted mods. Like you said none of their shit is worth playing in the first place but two publishers doing it in the last month might mean the kikes are getting mad about the imaginary revenue "lost" from TTS
>>724152931Two dozen or so with /vm/ and they're almost always far too autistic and time consuming to play in a single session or are some trading or deckbuilder variant.
>>724152374see>>>/vm/2028569
>>724152789i have a friend that kept buying cooperative games like this and expecting my dopey wife and his moron younger brother to be able to comprehend and play them many times.kingdom death, gloomhaven, that LoL one about piloting mechas... all played less than a half dozen times.meanwhile my copies of splendor, carcasonne, and agricola are all beginning to show wear from constant use.
>>724153069Yeah. There's cases where I've ended up paying more than I thought I ever would for a board game, all because I got a chance to play it through TTS and know that I'd still play it for countless hours more. I've picked up tons of smaller games because I got a chance to try them all and I know exactly who specifically I'd run them with. There's games where I was impressed just with the design and visuals alone, and then was absolutely sold on buying it in person because the non-digital version looked even better and had more impressive pieces (not kickstarter plastic monstrosities, but more like Coffee Rush having the little cups and modeled ingredients) It's a great way to get people to buy games, although I'll also give credit to the fact that the people playing them are also uniquely impassioned about the hobby enough that they much more regularly will go buy the actual game. It's works because of that.
Danmaku?
>>724151808I palyed this for a bit and got a refund. Interface is really shitty. Physics objects are annoying.

>>724153380It feels better when you play it in VR. It's really intuitive like playing on a real tabletop
>was trying to look up something about the pokemon master trainer board game>countless results of people playing modded versions in TTSwas odd to see, but i guess anything pokemon will have at least a few rabid fans
>>724153376no
>>724152278>No, chads play 40kModern 40k is an abysmal game that nobody in their right mind would ever play.
>>724153445i also bought it and hated it enough to refund.and i've tried a friend's copy in VR via family sharing and it doesn't seem any better, really. maybe worse, as even just the games menus weren't properly responding in VR.
>>724153447It's more that Master Trainer is well-known for being an immensely shit game, so people have taken that as a challenge to try to do the concept justice. Some of them are okay. Ultimate Master Trainer is still mostly just a dice chucker race by the end of the day, but it's just enough to kinda pull you in and feel like it's got a tiny bit of meat to it.
>>724152278>I spent $800 on handpainting plastic dolls so it's good
>>724153320There's a whole active thread for this shit?Hold the phoneRedpill me on this game
board games are outdated, so of course they should be freesame with atari games
>>724153221I was going to ask if there was an alternative to the mod trading discord. Kind of dorky to run a mod trading discord for copyrighted games and then immediately fold when you're issued a dmca.
>>724153550>>724153447You're supposed to play Legends of Sinnoh instead
>>724153550i never thought of it as 'bad', just incredibly brutal and unforgiving, causing long games (when played according to the rules).i did also have a ton of house rules my sister and i played by so we managed to play it a lot and have fun that way
>>724153427My favorite board game is Terraforming Mars, its a lot of fun to play on TTS, though I tend to avoid adding too many expansions at the same time, as it tends to drag the game down I think. I really like the fan mod feature of randomized board generation though that TTS offers.
>>724153380>>724153445It's the classic thing where the default settings aren't that good and after a couple minutes of tinkering and getting used to the way things work it becomes extremely easy to do anything on it.
Why aren't you playing the most 4chan board game in existence?
>>724153623whole world is like that>haha i am a counterculture rebel working under the radar of the law>well, unless they sternly tell me to stop. i don't want to get in trouble.

>>724153714Host it and I'll play it.How do you play it?
>>724151808>uploaded to the workshop. log in with le steam accountWhy do cucks do this. Are they not using a pirate version of TTS?
>>724153735munchkin, exploding carrots, and 3 expansion packs each
>>724153579You simulate tabletop games on your PC.That's pretty much it.
Amazing how dead /vm/ thread is. But that's what you get when you only play the same fucking games + eurotrash on top of that
>>724153639That shit is a dicefest too, and even longer than the original game
>>7241535791. buy TTS on steam2. (optional) check out the mods section to find basically any published board game or card game under the sun and many fan games and expansions3. find some people to play with online - when you connect to other people's lobby you will automatically download whatever game (mod) they are hosting. This does rely on the image and rulebook assets being hosted somewhere on the internet at a valid location.4. ???5. profit!
>>724153948every /v/ offshoot is a containment board. the more active they are, the lower my opinion of the average 4channer becomes
>>724153956What's so bad about dice?
>>724153948>They play a big game almost daily>DeadWhat are you even on about?>Using terms like EurotrashOh you're just the schizo with the hateboner. Nevermind
>>724153623I don't blame people for folding to big corpos, only third worlders can afford to just ignore them. I do blame them for hosting this on fucking discord, linking the server on the official TTS one and REQUIRING A FUCKING PHONE VERIFICATION TO POST, so anyone who actually wanted to contribute had to give his info to discord just in the miniscule chance it didn't have it already to make them easier to sue
>>724153759You shift your mindset into being the 4channiest 4channer you can think ofthen put nigger as your clues
>>724154065I love dice, but there's a point when basically 80% of the game is done through throwing dice there's a big problem.

>>724154352Yeah fuck 'em, that's a pretty fun selection of games. I actually dislike Splendor but greatly enjoyed the duel version.I'm a bit older in the hobby so that's why the 9 games I posted are pretty heavy but I will still enjoy a game of Carcassonne or Cash n' Guns.
>>724154489Ahh the games with the same 4 players and the same host because nobody else plays. Ya really showed me

>>724153320>links to a lobby that closed before he made the post
TS is very well integrated into the board game industry now. People who make board games only make 30-60 cents per purchase and it's a dying industry due to many factors being added ontop of the tarrifs.
>>724154784yep this is a schizopost
>>724152064There are some games like Sheriff of Nottingham, Coup, Modern Art, Ra and the like (auction / social deduction / bluffing games) that really only work in person. I know werewolf/mafia was big online way back, and Secret Hitler more recently, but it unironically hits different irl when you look in the person's eyes and decide they are a liar.

What's the difference between getting a workshop mod of a boardgame to play on TTS vs playing a video game version of the game?
>>724155352You paid for the video game LMAOOr if you pirated it, you are just playing it with bots LMAO
>>724155352Video game is an actual game so it will probably have animations or a working UI, but those things cost more money than just scanning a texture and uploading it to TTS, so they might not have all the content of the board game version (or the publisher is greedy and deliberately bases the video game on an older version to not compete with it's own product)
>>724151808runs like shit so wthatever
You people have only ever played Monopoly and Uno
>>724155586Yeah but I play it with cool custom hot babes in it.Does your boring farming stock market auction sim come with hot babes? Didn't think so.
But can I play 15 Love on it?
>>724155530Works on my machine.
>>724155852yeah you can. This guy also uploaded Oy Vey but it got mysteriously deleted, hmm I wonder why.
Recommend me some solo games/campaigns to play?
>>724155352TTS is just a physics engine with scripting. So don't expect TTS to have a very "video game-y" experience. You will have to do a lot of reading the rulebook via a PDF viewer to figure out how to play the game. Players need to be comfortable with FPS control schemes and 3d world navigation, as TTS is more about simulating a virtual presence in a 3d space that just happens to have board game components physics objects in it to manipulate at your will. Many actions available to players can totally break the game rules or grief other players at any time. not much structure is enforced, so your players need some level of focus in order to actually play the game.
>>724151808>open up workshop>immediately see this
>>724151808Correct
>>724156037>, so your players need some level of focus in order to actually play the game.No wonder /v/ hates itMystery solved!

>>724153427
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3589354848I will now play your game.
>>724151808Plenty of board game makers put their games up on TTS themselves to generate hype for their kickstarter or whatever. Your average board game fan enjoys the aspect of being in person when they play, so TTS just serves as a good way to test run stuff
>>724156274I've played patchwork a bunch against my brother and I get curbstomped everytime to a point where it's a running joke now. I think my win rate is something like 2/50. Still a fun game though.

>>724152158>inviting friends over, having some pizza, getting drunk and having lots of fun and building memoriesWhy do you need a board game for that? Seems to me like the game is basically inconsequential at that point.
>>724158692It depends on your teammates
>>724158657Brass
>>724158657They are very different games. Root is an asymmetric wargame that is a bitch to learn since everybody is basically playing a different game, and Brass is a heavy economic game that is very interactive to the point a single bad play could cost you the entire game.

>>724153427I'd rather post a pic from my recent 7 player game of Zoo vadis.But as for top 9 right in this instant, I'd say>Carcassonne>Ra>Dune Imperium with Rise of Ix>Castles of Burgundy>El Grande>Eclipse Second Dawn>Summoner Wars 2nd edition>Pax Pamir 2nd edition>Hansa Teutonica (my favorite)I feel kindof bad leaving out Agricola, Root, War of the Ring and Railways of the World but there's only so many spots.
>>724162359Have you tried the other Pax games?
>>724162040Based connoisseur
>>724161532Sometimes the random nature of the game can do weird stuff, like if you draw too many Ra tiles the first epoch it can be hard to catch back up. But yes, it's really well made. The Sun Disc mechanism is genius, it's a dead simple strategy consideration to keep the richest player from just completely dominating. Pharoah Tiles, Monument sets, Civilization tiles, and Flood tiles are all important decisions to make too. Add to that it's the rare 45-60 minute playtime when most games are either less than 30 minutes or longer than 80 and it's easy to see why it's a classic.
>>724162640Just Pamir. The other Pax games look a lot more difficult, and Pamir is already a hard game to table with its complexity. I'd love to try Pax Ren in person, but I just don't see it happenning.
how do you make a good board game?

>>724162796Pax Transhumanity is a personal favorite of mine, amazing what you can do with just some cards and wooden cubes.Pax Renaissance was definitely one of the hardest games for me to learn how to play well, lot of minutiae to be aware of that can really screw you, but it's a fantastic game, if you can't get to play it in person, there's BGA to try it out.

>>724151808there is literally nothing that can stop people from doing print & play, but board game publishers are largely fine with them because home-brewed solutions aren't a perfect substitute for the actual components.yeah there is price jewery when it comes to games with tons of minis that really didn't need them, especially on kickstarter, but a digital PNP is no different from a physical PNP.

>>724152278with the femstodes debacle continuing and the ever-softening of the 40k universe, this hasn't been true for like 4+ years now anon.Chads play indie games and old tabletop games amongst themselves, or gamble.

Ok I'm free to host for the time being so I'm just gonna ahead and open a room, since anons are too tsundere to show interest I'll give them the opportunity to join in without letting the thread know.Lobby: /v/oard gamesPass: rageWe'll figure out what to play depending on the players, if noobs to the hobby join in we can start with some fun quick games to get started and to learn TTS controls.
>>724166576Get ye gone from a good thread
>>724167442I'll leave So Clover! ready since this anon >>724153714 has a good point.It's 1 minute to learn, 15-ish to play depending on how paranoid we become trying to figure out what anon meant by such and such clue.
>>724151808>Wanna make a thread for people to discuss about a game>Just put the name up and some interesting question>archived, 0 replies>Pretend to be retarded and post an inflamatory wrong post>227 posts and countingThat is the /v/ way
>>724167442>>7241680042 Players in the lobby
I have never played a board game in my life, actually.Not even Monopoly
>>724168870You are both cursed and blessed.
>>724159047Depends on what your group likes most. I prefer Root because it's less serious and punishing. You will usually be talking about the current board state and who to hit next. Brass is much more serious and calculating, so you will be focused on the best play rather than the experience as a whole.
>>724168174The /v/ meta is so baffling but it's not something we can go against
>>724167442>>724168450Based
>>724168174This is the whole internet nowInfluencers will even intentionally mispronounce things just to get people to comment
>>724162653Thanks anon, I'm starting to run out of space for board games so I don't know what to do if I want to get another one lol
>>724171086And bots learn from those faggots too. I wouldn't be surprised if most of these kinds of threads are bot OPs.The question would be, why?
>>724162040>Chinatown>CondottiereUnfathomably based. Do you play any war games? I've took the dive in to combat commander finally. The deepest my group goes is Root, even though they'll spend days planning broken pathfinder builds
>>724168450Playing some Cascadia!
>>724152158Not a simulacrum but a simulation as it is a process not a mere image
>>724171390>Do you play any war games?Not really, I own Sekigahara, Root, Kemet, Axis & Allies and Clash of Cultures. Was about to get Fields of Fire and Paths of Glory because they recently became available at my LGS but I don't think I'll get to see them in the table much.
>>724171753And the game ends 50 to 84!Will have to close the lobby for a couple minutes to go run to the store. I'll be back

Back, same lobby infoLobby: /v/oard gamesPass: rage>>724176182Now they get another chance
>>724151862it goes on sale regularly, you can still buy it and play it
>>7241766084 players, now that's a little better. Playing Balatro or whatever
>>724161532I'd say 90% of Knizia games come off very bland and almost pretentious with how rules light they are. And for the first few plays, any hype around it will feel entirely misplaced.Thing is, once you get out of that small learning curve, his games absolutely reward repeat plays. Not in that obnoxious "once you read all the chess openers the game becomes fun", more in the fact with how extremely deliberate everything is. Every edge case, every slight hint of information, every vague step of evaluation all of them are intended and designed to keep your head up and leverage the power of player psychology. He's had a ton of stinkers for sure and some of his 'heavier' games go too hard on the decision tree route for my preference, but every time I wanted to dunk on him for shitting out 5 games a month, the more time I spend with them, the I realize they are. Though I think my love of Ra only happened once I played the digital version so I could actually figure the fucking scoring out properly - newest version is marginally better with the player board, tokens notwithstanding
luv me Hostage Negotiator, simple as

I play TTS every Monday with the boys.
>>724166912It’s one guy but before he definitely wasn’t sorting threads by creation date just to be the first reply of 20% of all threads every second he is awake like he has been the last month.

>>724156071There are ladder pokemon?
>>724156071Cute.
Where spooky games
This thread just proved to me that /v/ doesn't play games.
>>724179778we're playing not!Balatro right now thoughbeit
>>724179376right over>>724159312
>>724152158have you considered that people are not able to teleport to each other's house to instantly meet up and planning something of that sort is actually really difficult when we're all wageslaves
>>724151808is this free and is it single player?
>>724152158>Aqua posting is finally trending again after the big Aqua sticky WINbasedLike the good ol' days
>>724180227No and yes i guess
>>724180227there's a key for 4 bucks on Kinguin, otherwise wait for a sale (dunno if pirated works online, probably not unless everyone uses spacewar).
>>724158493I have played too much forum mafia. That last time I played a flesh and blood social deduction game the host got mad at me for whispering to another player. When we checked the rulebook there wasn't even a prohibition against doing that.
someone play craps with me
>>724152158inviting who over?
>>724181085or bridgeor parcheesior gin rummy(the one where you can take as many cards from the discard as you want)
this balatro game is LONG, someone wanna play Double Nine or something short/simple in the meantime?
>>724152158the real experience includes set-up, clean-up, having to buy a fucking organizer's box and wrangling your retarded friends so they dont damage your expensive cardboard
>>724159209No /vg/ does the same thing. Phonefaggotry is to blame, most likely.
>>724180053Of course he didn't he's a hue
>>724151808It is and we're all the better for it.
People really gotta pick quicker games when it's the first or second round of the night. Helps keep interest.
I prefer ygopro
>>724183537post petdeck
>>724183418I forget the TTS Tax and Analysis Paralysis makes games last longer here.
>>724183856newfag
hey ayano do you wanna do some 2p games until this balatro is done (i assume you're alt-tabbed)
>>724184000Depends on what that game is. What do you have in mind?
>>724184050Nevermind, this is apparently almost done. I was gonna say Bullet, Onitama, Laser Chess, Double Nine, Mind Bug, something short and easy.
>>724184108Fair enough. It's my own fault for waiting so long, anyways. I wanted to learn by watching you guys, but I underestimated how long that'd take.
>>724184176I have not been watching this at all so I have no idea how to play. There's also Mushroom Sort but following a poker game with another poker game is a tough sell (and it's 4p max).
>>724184256Wait, you also don't know? That's a bit disappointing, I could swear you would know at least this much. To be honest you've been dragging us down a bit. I'm not sure I want to continue like this. Could you please put some more effort?
>>724184351
>>724151808buying the "digital board game" after you've already paid got the software required to play the digital board game is ultra fucking nigger gay. I doubt there are people actually retarded enough to do something like thisThe whole point of having a software that simulates tabletop games is that you can play with anyone from anywhere, any game that you want imaginable without having to acquire it in the first place
>>724181260>host invalidated his own win by switching games too fastThis clearly means I actually won
Playing So Clover! with 4.Try to reconstruct the clover using the clues on the edges!
>>724184608Game started
>>724151808This is great actually, I've never used it but if it can preserve games that are out of print it's great in my book
>>724184485Workshop mods are free
not a single vantage save backed up, it's truly over.

>>724184608Heels = Fable~White = Sunbeam = Ray~Gate = Memorial = Frame~Jungle = Howling = Wolf~Sunday = HeelsVirgin~Mug~Park~Donkey is the trap card.
>>724152278I play a lot of kill team IRL but will never bother with big 40k. so much time it takes to play a game.
>>724184608>thinking of joining>only playing games made for toddlersThis shit is so ass mane at least play some real board games with minis n shite
>>724185902the great thing about tts is that you can host whatever you want
>>724185129Concert = Night~School = Detention = File~Tennis = Sharpapova = Queen~Attic = Cleaning = Spring~Band = ConcertMap~Waiter~Animal~Fool is the trap card.
>>724186127At least somebody got it right! These dudes didn't know Sharapova…https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOe3dLF38sU
>>724157656kill team or war cry is kind of fun
>>724186223Calling her a queen is kinda masochistic, masochism is effeminate, and effeminate men are gay. Ergo you're a faggot. I only slotted that card in by process of elimination.
>>724152158Unironically this.
>>724186408As long as the logic works out in the end
The only way to play multiplayer is with troons from discord or /v/.Does anybody want to play Gloomhaven?
>>724152158>playing a physical board game in current yearno one does that. it's as retarded as getting together to play uno
>>724186763the full 60+ hour session in 1 evening?
>>724184608And we score 18 points with 5 players for a very average score!

>>724187296>>playing a physical board game in current yearExcuse you, I do exactly that about 2 or 3 times a weekidk why im even posting here, guess im helping keep the engagement up for host anon though I don't even join his lobbies anymore
Any new solo games worth playing?
Playing LLAMA with 5
>>724188241Forget about solo games, take the multi-hand pill
>>724188582I prefer playing with automas or truly solo games. Multi-hand takes too much effort.
>>724152158>being 50 years old>still watching anime>still browsing 4chanlmao look at this loser
>checks room>its the same /vm/ discord fishing for retards on /v/ because their general is dead againthe game will never recover from having global chat removed
>>724189724Look, the schizo is back
>>724179264whats this?
>>724189797oh... yep, that's him alright, he'll join the lobby to tell the host "hey i told you not to shit up the /v/ catalog, i dont care that your thread is dead stop posting on /v/ I want my gacha threads with lolis". it happened once last year around this time, word for word
>>724188559Lots of spectators in the lobby
>>724151808it's pretty much free advertising for board gamespeople that play board games typically buy physical copies of the games they like, because playing online is a substitute for when getting together in the flesh isn't possible
>>724190024I think I remember that happening actually lol
>>724190667yeah i didn't make that up
BLUE PLAYER WINS!
>1000€+ board gamesdoes anyone actually buy these to play them? I am asking seriously because this feels like the equivalent of buying an expensive car only to never drive it and let it rot on display. what the fuck
4p, time for old school gayming.
>>724191367How does this even work in TTS?
>>724191565we're about to find out. physics has to be set to full.
>>724186763Only if we have a full 4 group willing to play through all of it.
>>724151808I want to learn binding of isacc and monster hunter but have been put off since if I do I haveno friends to play with. whats the chances of getting randoms playing if i start a room?
>>724191893It's preferable that you learn it before you host it so you can teach others. The /vm/ thread has a constant playerbase so you can ask there if you don't get players here. There's a couple guys playing on a separate lobby, maybe join them and ask them?
>>724185772>kill teamIs it any good? I watched a video and looks like tabletop x-com.
>>724191565As it turns out, not very well. Clank time!
The 'ol reliable
>>724185902Clover is 4chans board game. Not even close to toddler
>>724193719It uses more brainpower than Pax Renaissance too.
>>724193778Probably true.
>>724158657Merchants and Marauders.
>>724164597>>724165758I do have it on steam. And I am daft. I mean where do you get the games?
And off we go
>>724194060Um. The workshop?
Tabletop Simulator is ALIVE!
>>724194242Really? Just like that? You can get W40k stuff too?
>>724194337yeah bro
>>724153175In fairness there's entirely too many "right wingers" who think niggers are human.
>>724194337>Really?Yeah, usually.Some of the workshop uploads are from game publishers or uploaded with permission from game publishers, but for the most part it's pirate city.>Just like that?There's some paid stuff available in the DLC section but nobody ever buys it.And supposedly there are Discord servers where you can get save files with games loaded in that have been DMCA'd out of the workshop.>You can get W40k stuff too?https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/browse/?appid=286160&searchtext=40k
>>724194394I'll be damned. All kinds of stuff in there. Thanks anon. Mega Cool.
Does anyone have a full version of this?
>>724194885Is this not full?
>>724152278>Didn't specify 3-4eBro 10e 40k is utter dogshit and you'd legitimately have to be retarded to like it.
I think I've clicked these two buttons hundreds of times by now.
>>724195040When I glanced over it, it seemed to be missing soeme cards but it's a bit of a mess to track, also a lot of the version of that and other games disappeared a few years ago, I still have them on my old pc that's stached away from 10 years ago.
>>724195463Sounds interesting, you could try to contact KamSandwich, he's managed to retrieve old games thanks to his fanbase, if there are cards missing and the game is bad and old, he'll love that shit lol
>>724195463One of these?
>>724195463NTA, I found a version from 2024 in the trading discord. It has not been re-uploaded to the workshop because of DMCA. You put it in your saved objects folder. I've never played it so I don't know if anything is missing. The money(?) seems to be messed up, but the cards and directions are working.https://files.catbox.moe/4r7dqj.json
>>724151808I have played so many board games with my friends because of it. Nothing but good things to say. Oh and playing pornhub on the in-game tablet is classic
>>724195878I either have a Python script or TS Mod Vault or something can rename those properly.
>>724195952I've posted on 4chan on that tablet while playing with friends lmao
>>724195878Nice thanks, hopefully it's not dolphin porn>>724195685maybe I'll try, let's see the above one first.>>724195707I'll see monday if I can find again a full list to compare
Adventurers picking their paths, almost dying.5 players in the lobby btw
Alright now I cleared the confusion it was a while since I checked on this, the second edition which is the one uploaded on the workshop is completely different from the original 1994/1995 printing, the second edition has 98 cards + 8, the first printing has 412 cards and is the one that contains all the crazy shit.
>>724194673That's sweet
kek
>>724195998People can do so right now.
It may sound strange, but is there a game that can teach me how to play Dungeons & Dragons? I'm not looking for a game that borrows elements from a board game. Rather, I'm looking for a simulator that teaches the basic rules through one or more predefined campaigns.
>>724151808I got it like days before they got rid of the global chat and I hate discord so I just don't play it at all
>>724197861I should've chosen a Black Forst so the dragon couldn't burninate me
>>724198513Poor guy, he keeps getting roasted by the dragon.
>this fucking match
>>724152158For many people, board games are just an excuse to indulge in their main hobby, drinking. I used to play board games with friends and acquaintances and I fell out of the hobby because it can range from wildly entertaining to some of the most miserable settings I've been in. Some of the examples of the latter:>autists who bring some game that needs an hour and set up just to explain the rules>the person who will take command in "teamwork" style games like Pandemic and it's just automatic play from there>normies with no charisma who cannot play anything than a party game and drag you down with their incompetence>Euro board game fans
The Mario brothers escape and Luigi wins!
Remember this Luigi, I let you a-live.
>>724198935
That was awesome, I keep forgetting how fun it is playing with people. My friends are usually too lazy to set up a TTS night or the games I want require too many players so I just play them by myself
>>724198127>Teach>D&D? What's there to teach?
>>724197861You are only allowed one tho.
>>724199160Glad you liked it anon, you're welcome to visit us in >>>/vm/2007972 for more games, as these threads are not often this lively, and very rare to begin with.>>724199413Only in Clank in Space! Every other Clank lets you keep duplicates.
Now it's time to play Deep Regrets with 3 people!
>>724198925kekkk
What's your favorite solo campaign game? Any gems?
>>724198774>the person who will take command in "teamwork" style games like Pandemic and it's just automatic play from thereKek that's me. Maybe don't bring solvable games if you don't want me to solve them, faggot.
>>724199786Make that 4
>>724201119Sorry anon, and sorry to all solo gamers in this thread, but I have no fucking idea about solo gaming; most of the hobby is about sharing with people so I never got into them.
>>724201119The only solo game I've ever played is Regicide.
>>724152074yes, literally all /sp/ talks about are teams, football manager, and FIFA.
>>724201409I'm not the one bringing in solvable games like European-style board games, I hate European style board games because what happens is this:>you learn the rules but not the strategy>person or people know the strategy and work quickly to achieve that, which is possible every time due to almost no RNG>if you didn't do it perfectly you're fucked, there's still an hour left in the game and there is no path to victory>can't even get the grace of eliminating, have to stick around and humiliate yourself by picking the winner
>>724201742https://youtu.be/EJ0sE4rpiAU?t=666
>>724198774for me, its the guy who isnt paying attention to anything going on at all times making the whole game take 3 times as long
>>724202870Don't make me regret playing this game you hear?Also what's with puppet reviewers, there's one for video games too
Any of you have experience with using it for TTRPGs? I'm using Owlbear Rodeo right now. but if I'm using something system agnostic and without automation, I might as well do it on 3D
