One Page Rules released the beta rules for Age of Fantasy: Quest yesterday. It's the tabletop wargame equivalent of playing whatever four-man horde survival game you want to compare it to. It also has slight legacy mechanics in that your characters keep XP and upgrades between games.I tried a solo game, and the best way I can describe it is "If Vermintide were an actual tabletop" with the exception that you have more playable races, and you can fight things other than Skaven.The main downside as of the beta is a reliance on their in-website army builder for upgrades and stat management, but since I play on TTS, I'm at a computer the whole time anyway.>https://www.onepagerules.com/games/age-of-fantasy-questAfter character creation, it's pretty jump-in-and-play as far as wargames go.
I know you like cows, but have you played the new version of GWT?It's set in New Zealand. I played it and I really liked it.Instead of herding cows we will be shagg..

Hosting a game of Republic of Rome on Saturday June 22nd at 9 PM GMT/ 21:00.If you haven't played before then I will be teaching.If you don't have a microphone then you will need to be a VERY fast typist, there is a lot of player negotiation and back and forth in the game.I only have room for two more people were almost at a full house actually. It is a VERY long game 4 hours at least and it may even need multiple sessions. I will post this again in the next thread if it goes down before Saturday.The lobby on Saturday will beRepublic of Rome /Monkey Edition/If you want a run through of the rules before game day let me know a good time and I might find a good time to get to you before then, it's not strictly necessary to learn it before the game though.Only one day left to fill out the game and I'm free all day so if anyone wants to get on and look at the game/is interested in joining now is the time to ask about it. I'll have the server open on TTS.
Anybody up for Horseless Carriage? Need minimum of 3 players.
>>1339175sure, i'm always down for tertis kino
>>1339181Great, we need 1 more player. I'll need 30-ish minutes before I open the lobby, anybody interested can check out this video if they don't want to be taught in situ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It25avQY23A

late night game?
I'm tempted to host some AoF: Quest, but that would involve a bit of setup/character creation, and only hosts 4 tops.I do have four demo characters made, and it'd absolutely not be a D&D style campaign. It'd be more akin to a Westmarch or something.
>>1341588Almost had me there, but I dont like Westmarch campaigns, especially here where we dont have discord support to keep track of things.
>>1341655What parts do you believe are integral to westmarches, that you dislike? I'm not trying to defend westmarches, I'm just not sure if that's the right word for what I'm planning.
Continuing from >>1341715Upon checking on what the term actually means, I'm guessing what your main concern is the need to keep track of everyone's character sheets or something. Fortunately, they have a character builder/tracker site already.>https://army-forge.onepagerules.com/quest
>>1341715Player sheets are just the tip of the iceberg. Have pic related.Even though AoF is "gm-less", there will still be someone who will have to map things up, organize the current campaign, give summaries of past encounters and keep track of all player growth.Honestly, you would have more success just running it as a DnD style campaign with select people committed to it than trying to tard-wrangle 7+ people in the thread joining and leaving and never meeting again because they grew bored of it
Games of the board variety?

For anyone else that fucks with modding and Web Requests: is there any suggestions for dealing with some particularly fat JSON decodes? TTS is starting to hang whenever I try to decode one with about 200 array indexes with a bunch of fields with each one, and the only thing I'd really think to do is to try to trim it down while it's still a JSON string.
>>1342315Played a game of Paper Tales. This hoot wonIt took me back to the flash games of summer of 2011.
Lobby: /v/oard gamesPass: rage
>>1342354Can't you open the .json in Notepad++ or something else, instead of doing it inside of TTS? Usually when coding scripts for games you do it in a special environment program, not inside the game itself.

>>1342514I'll return a little later to rehost, tonight's topic will be…Drawfagging.Prepare your mice and get ready to create awful, awful art. Also a game that is better than So Clover that we should try out.

>>1342521Ok, then I dont understand the question. Sorry for bothering you.
>>1342516Normally I wouldn't be rude, but your post is an audacious amount of "Not knowing but still chiming in anyways"

Any diplomacy players here? I'm putting together a longform game (1 week turns) but it's going to be on backstabbr and not on tabletop sim

BLUE TEAM WINS BY DOING NOTHING
>It was never capIts over.
Closing the lobby, great games, I might return later tonight to play something a little meatier, maybe Grand Austria, Root, Barrage, Great Western Trail (NZ or Regular), or something other we may come up with.I think we peaked at 10 players today? not bad.
>>1344975That's not even a dwarf yo, that's a gnome!
>>1344982Capped at 9 (really 8, since one was spectating) players in lobby at the start of Fake Artist, unless you had more beforehand or are counting the total amount of players today and not the highest number together in the lobby at the same time.
trying to make sense of this >>1344975runes - 2 : moon and scrolldwarf - 2 : beard and ???austrailians - 2 : emu and aborigine??? horrendous cluesleeveless - 1 : vestsourcherry - 2 : tart and ???link - 2 : email and ???plant - 2 : lilac and treesinners - 2 : church and pistolrailgun - 2 : pistol and magnet
>>1344982I would be down for GWT later, but haven't played the sheep shagger version.>>1345047I think link was email and magnet.
>>1345052>but haven't played the sheep shagger versionIt has just a couple extra things and just some variance in procedures, but if you know GWT you know New Zealand.
>>1345047>beard and ???cap.
>>1345193Cowboy'n it up with 3/4
>>1345210Vector Racing with 4
>>13453563 people died tonight.
Playing some Hive to end the night
>>1345376What the fuck is white doing?
>>1345376GGs y'all hope you had >fun>>1345385win
>>1345210Oh and forgot the scores.
>>1345047Dwarf was beard and, in a lot more of an evocative fashion, spark. (Dwarves love cannons which would have sparkly fuses, and they are known to have short tempers and are easily provoked, short fused, easy to spark into conflicts).Australians should have been just a 1, but things got stressful and I flubbed. Aborigine was picked at that point, so it wasn't entirely horrible.Sour cherry was tart and spark (cherry bombs, fuse correlation again) but I could not for the life of me think of any clue to pair at least 2 words, the whole game basically. Also, sour cherry is actually 2 words as it turns out, so it was cheating a little.Ironically enough, I didn't wanna cheat, but I couldn't find out if product names were allowed, so I avoided using Fizzypops as the last clue to connect tart and sparkle (those sour candies that give pops in your mouth).
>>1344988
For the Arkham Horror crew:Also I don't know when we'll do the next one, maybe we'll switch it up (read: weeb it up) and try some Gensokyo Horror instead once I learn how to play it
>>1345547>Dwarves love cannonsNo that's bitches. Dwarfs love mining, drinking, and smithing.
>>1345642But Seiken Densetsu taught me differently
>>1345624Gensokyo Horror plays more like or maybe exactly like Eldritch Horror rather than Arkham. Big difference is in the stats and focuses, instead of having 5 and a limit of buffs, you instead have 3 pairs of stats, and going up in one will go you down in the other. Oh and the map is static and not made out of puzzle pieces.
>>1345849Sounds like Arkham 2nd ed.
>>1345887Well I never played either of the normal horrors so IDK what the differences are then. I know there's also a cardgame variant of one, and people say it's good, but that's just hearsay too.
Gonna host in like 20 minutes-ish, not sure what to, maybe Barrage, Glory to Rome, will depend on the turnout really, who's down to clown?If we're 5 or 6 I'd do some HEAT actually.
>>1345659
>>1346063i'd be down for any of those or even a splotter
>>1346080Lobby: /v/oard gamesPass: rage>>1346080Some more Horseless Carriage does sound tempting, we'll see.
>>1346099Should have had the chad be with 999 ping.
Glory to Rome! 5/5
>>1346154i love how chudyks' games use "draw a card and use alphabetical order to determine first player" it's very soulful
>>1346215Yeah it's actually really smart because it also works as the starting pool.
Shameful, Rome wasn't built on slavery and aggression!Wait, hold on…Nevermind, gg!Game ends with scores of 15 vs 31 vs 11 vs 21 vs 5!I'll be back in an hour or so to walk the little gremlins an reopen the room.

>>1347117Nah, just a player connecting into the room would fool the script into thinking there's more players, breaking itself.They did update the mod, so now, for example, it calculates score again, so the whole player issue might be gone as well. Would need to test tho.

PokéCoins are great for that as well, although we housed ruled that for 25 coins you could buy a free level up (but without being able to level a mon that would make it go over the highest level of your party) that we used the most. I thought me (Red) would win after managing to defeat the 5th leader first and getting an early high leveled Ludicolo to clear out the rest but ended up having trouble maneuvering around the map, Yellow managed to get the medals fairly quickly but got stopped by the crazy mons the elite 4 had. To our surprise green player which was lacking behind and had to backtrack a lot because they also did things a bit out of order ended up reaching the PokéLeague and instantly defeat the Champion. Even defended the title against Red during the after-game tournament. All in all, great game despite how simple it really is, loved the extra additions this mod put together, and also the scripting is much sturdier than the original, barely any errors!Maybe I'll host it for y'all sometime if you are down with taking a day to play this fucking thing lol, thanks for coming to my TedTalk.

>>1349972Starting off with card gamesAnd to the other guy that dropped, it was fine. There wasn't much specifically planned and any game works.
>>1349972And closed. There were in fact card game.

>>1349979>>1350034thanks, is there anywhere i can go to educate myself on the games played here? i don't want to join and just make everything worse for others by not knowing what the fuck is going on
>>1350036Don't really need to worry about it. What games get picked is pretty loose, and the people that host generally expect to teach the game or have other ones on backup depending on number of players, the mood of the table, and so on. It's fine even if you're new to more complicated board games, and if you're still worried about it, you can just ask and see if someone will offer to host games that touch on the basics of some of the core genres.

Happy middle of the year anons, hope you've been enjoying the games of board. Checked out some stats to see how this year has been up to now. Of course, disclaimer of these only being registered plays I've personally been a part of so unfortunately I'm missing data on other hosts/games I wasn't there to register. With that said, pretty interesting tidbits>103 different games. 324 total plays>Out of those 103, a total of 8 games have been played at least 8 times>24 new faces>Top 3 games are Bullet, So Clover and Horseless Carriage, whereas last year's were Clank, Pax Ren and Bullet>Clank still being very much played but only shown to 6 new players, Clover takes the crown as the game most shown to newfriends with a big 20 new players experiencing it this year>3 and 4-player lobbies are tied for most played>Friday is the most active day to play, Monday is the worst, Tuesday somehow takes 2nd most active despite the classic Steam Maintenance moment>Fellow top 5 anons have participated in 107/106/55/45/39 games with me out of the 324>Most games played in a single day was May 11th were 12 games were played during an 8hour spanFor another good half pals.

>>1350687>H-index>>1350694How is stats autism akin to homoerotic genital discussion cliques?
>>1350722>How is stats autism akin to homoerotic genital discussion cliques?Pretty much the same. It has all the users and the games played as if it is recorded by a discord bot.Its a discord server in all but name, except the thread is like chat that cleans itself every month or so (A discord channel can also do that, and several other benefits).I don't know what kinda of discord server you join to have homoerotic genital discussion cliques, but that's none of my concern.
>>1350727>It has all the users and the games played as if it is recorded by a discord bot.Sounds like a BGG or other game library tracking app with extra steps. But the pic is clearly some kind of game tracking app, so I don't know what you are on about. Does it come from dicksword or something?
>>1350727If it's pretty much the same then there's no need to make a discord, good to know.
>>1350736>and several other benefitsDiscord just make stat autism much better and not exclusive to some retards paid app
>>1350738One of those "benefits" would probably be your constant presence in it, I doubt anybody would ever want to do that, bye.
Pax Ren lads?Lobby: /v/oard gamesPass: rage
>>1350744>>1350744I'm sorry I can't fulfill your need to have homoerotic genital discussions on discord.But you can filter anything and anyone there, if you want, including people you dont like.Its one of the many benefits if you just gave up on having offtopic genital discussions on the server.
>>1350694>>1350727>>1350738What's your favorite board game?
>>1350778I will tell you once we have a discord channel.Perhaps we can even have each player's favorite game or genre attached to their names as roles. So they know when their favorite board game is being hosted
>>1350785He doesn't play games, everybody you can ignore him now.
>>1350798But I'm literally telling you that if we had a proper discord server, it would make hosting AND playing games better.I'm here to play, but there is no one scheduling and no system to ping when its live.So, where is that server so I can join, tell you about my favorite game and play it?
>>1350805Here anon, have funhttps://discord.com/invite/tabletopsimulator
>>1350808I'm already on the official one.Where is the /vm/ server?
>>1350749Is that the only thing on the menu?>>1350812When you make it, I bet it'll be great.
>>1350812>I'm already on the official one.>>1350798Confirmed.No more (Yous)
>>1350815>Is that the only thing on the menu?I could play Pax Porfiriana :^)I'm up for some other game if joiners would prefer, although I must say I do got an itch for some Pax Ren.
>>1350815>When you make it, I bet it'll be great.I prefer that the anon that keeps this list >>1350687to make it, since he already have all the stats. He seems to be the one organizing things.>>1350816Confirmed what? If you are on the official one, you dont play board games? What kind of comparison is that? Do you have any proper arguments against it?
>>1350819>I prefer that the anon that keeps this list >>1350687(You) to make it, since he already have all the stats. He seems to be the one organizing thingsEh go ahead lad, I don't really use discord. Now if you want some Pax Ren, I have the lobby open right now.
>>1350827Modding a discord server is easier than you think. People are not even paid for it.And if you are afraid of that anons homoerotic genital discussion shitting up the server, you can disable chat channels and keep only the good stuff, like bot scheduling and role pinging.
>>1350749Alrighty, closing for tonight, until next time.
>>1337905why is the pony one redacted?
>>>/global/rules/15 >>1350859
>>1350863oh, I tought it was because of some fagshit
>>1350687>have to pay extra ("deep statistics" DLC) to see how many games ive played with specific players in a specific timeframe (this year) as opposed to all time>>1350749Sure i guess... in 10 hours
>>1350918Consider it an expansion.Is that you playing Power Grid? How did you like it?
>>1350922Yea it was a very tight game for everyone except blue until he got the 6-renewable power plantWould say it's a good low difficulty option for 5-6 lobbies instead of spamming word games everytimeAlso heres an old pic of a modern art table (didn't play, played the gallerist instead)
>>1350694What, you're not in the /tts/ discord?
>>1350966Sto gaslighting people
>>1350984C'mon, it's been 2 yearsThe secret /tts/ discord doesn't need to be a secret anymore
>>1351008It's not really a /vm/cord, all me and my buddies want is to have our daily mlp gooning sesh in peace, if we let outsiders in we'll just abandon it and make a new secret cord altogether No ok but really enough gaslighting, theres no such thing as discord here
>>1350966There is no /tts/ discord. The one discord that got linked here is a /vm/ one and even then the people playing there never show up in our /tts/ tread games. So really there is no discord, as if there was one there be players from it, so there we have proof by contradiction. Q.E.D., now stop being a fag with unfunny memes
>>1350727>one anon's autism is akin to an entire system of indescriminate surveilanceI must be some kinda standard, the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st Century.
Going to a host Arcs in about 30 minutes to an hour.
>>1351505Hmm... that's too late for me, that's the same exact time i go to sleephf
>>1351505You're gonna get fucked by the Steam Maintenance for half an hour in the middle of the game btw
>>1351512Oh yeah, that tooWe really have bad luck with tuesdays dont we
>>1351505try on friday or the weekend please it's the only days i can play so late in the night
>>1351515It's not so bad, sometimes servers are back up like 5 minutes after if you're lucky, Tuesday is also the second most active day for board games according to the stats >>1350687
>>1351157>entire system of indiscriminate surveillanceDo you know where you are? Discord doesnt give a shit about what games you are playing, and TTS has built-in integration with it.And if you are afraid of surveillance, I hope you never join that anons room, because he is already recording your Steam's ID, what games you play and what hour you are awake

Looks like the Clash of Cultures mod got update, maybe the weird turn thing got fixed, been meaning to rehost it. If you're interested might wanna watch the how to play before hand for when I host it when you least expect it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkN4sdp8sj8Also Horseless Carriage since I heard some requests for ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It25avQY23A
>>1351942You'll teach me when I join without watching the video and there's nothing you can do about it
>>1350805>and no system to ping when its liveIt's not too hard to make your own if you care so much. With ChatGPT, it wasn't hard to slap together a little python program that uses the 4chan API to get posts containing host keywords and spit out a desktop notification if any were found. Now you get pings without demanding everyone use a bloated piece of goonware just to notify you.
>>1352052So you'll play then eh? You fell right into my trap.
>>1352052Anon no! He's going to teach you the game in a shorter time than the video would have taken, don't do it!
>>1352147well? where is the host?
>>1352265>when you least expect it
>>1352115>bloated piece of goonware>anyway, go use AI to make a desktop python scriptYou know can open Discord on the browser right? You don't need the app nor garbage dive through some AI to make a script.And notifications are just one of the many things a discord bot can do, like proper scheduling and native integration.>demanding everyoneYou dont need to join if you don't want, since you are so afraid of it. Most people would find it vastly better than this. If /vm/ minecraft servers do it, why are you pissing yourself over it?
>>1352278yeah, i didnt expect it then, and now i expect it to happen when i'm asleep>>1352306>You dont need to join if you don't wantproblem is people on the dicksuck don't join the games posted in the thread only, so it creates an unnecessary divide in the communityyou don't need to make or use a discord yet you do anyways, how curious indeed
>>1352327>discord will divide the communityIs that what you fear? That it will divide a community of 20 players?How do you know people on discord will, for some reason, abandon thread and not join games if the lobby will be open there and here? Especially when the server is open to anyone here and not a closed community?You're making a lot of assumptions for an biased fear of an community app meant to organize and facilitate games (pretty much like Teamspeak in the old days).
>>1352341You're not even part of the community, nobody wants you here either. Feel free to fuck off.
>>1352341>fearthe fact that we have this conversation at all shows that it's not a fear, but a reality.>how do you know people on discord will <..> not join gamesbecause it already happened in the past>server is open to anyonethat just means other people will join it and have no idea that the thread exists, therefore proving previous point as even more of a fact than before>app meant to organizemore like bloatware meant to sell Discord Nitro so their margin would keep going up, aka nothing like Teamspeak in the old days.
>>1352343>Wanting to gatekeep someone because they aren't part of a open "community"So you don't have an argument against having one, you're just afraid of it
I can't believe you guys are still discussing about some messaging app instead of playing games
>>1352356I'm not even the anon you're arguing with, you are just an autist that just wants a discord for people that you don't even play with, most likely the same dude that's been kicked out from other places because of how much of an insufferable bitch you are.Now everybody please stop interacting with this retard and host some games.
>>1352355>but a reality, because it already happened in the pastNo it didnt, the archive has nothing of the sort.>have no idea that the thread existsWhat? The server is open for people on the thread, the invite will be ON the thread. How the fuck would they isolate itself? Do you not know how it works?>more like bloatwareLike I said, you can use the browser.Any other service is not necessary for the use of the app, nothing is gated. You can completely ignore their paid services.
>>1352327>people on the dicksuck don't join the games posted in the thread only>don't join>implying it's already happeningNice freudian slip confirming the /vm/ discord is real>>1352341Feel free to stay, every thread successful enough has it's schizo and I'd rather have you than someone who actually knows how to kill a general
Reminder to ignore and report off-topic/begging posts.
>>1352341I will agree with you on this, 4chan's image boards do suck for setting up game lobbies, and I would like to see some kind of compromise that wouldn't involve the data theft app.But here's the thing, you already *do* have Discord servers where you can look for and arrange games, this includes that general /vm/ server where you can find TTS specific channels.So your arguments of "You dont need to join if you don't want, since you are so afraid of it." and "Most people would find it vastly better than this" are mute, because.. well.. it exists! TTS discords exist, and the people here have decided not to partake.Now, this thread /specifically/ doesn't have one, but I'm sure you'll be okay with leaving 20 of us to enjoy our discordless thread.
>>1352360>archivei'm not talking about just this thread, dummy. discords for threads destroying their own threads like a parasitic species is a well documented phenomenon on every board with general threads that get discord servers. fuck, it's in the name "Discord", what more proof do you need?>Whatmiscommunication on your part, if it's not "open to everyone" and actually "open to whoever can find invite link that's in the thread" then it does aviod the problem of other people not joining thread games, but the other problems persist.>browserstill bloated, still wants me to get nitro, and in addition keeps pestering me about the app. like any "good" solution, this just introduces more problems.>>1352363>the /vm/ discord is realit is not real until their people join thread games.

how is this game for people with no friends? do you guys ignore the DLCs or are there some must-buys? This game has been in my wishlist for a while.
>>1353363>how is this game for people with no friends?Shit. Board games is a friends-only hobby unless you are a solitaire schizo
>>1353363This game is kinda useless without friends. But you can find groups and play with randos, like us here, and end up making friends along the way.Ignore DLCs
>>1353363buying DLCs is for suckers who can't into CreamAPI, the "custom assets import" tools are how all the games are actually made and played. TTS also has petty good Steam Workshop integration so playing a board game you want is as easy as waiting for like a month until someone imports the game into TTS then downloading the workshop mod and using it. Also scripting is a thing to remove downtime and upkeep but not all games have it (and not all games need it)as for friends, you do need them, but randoms from /vm/ are a good enough substitute for me so your mileage will vary
>>1353368>>1353367sounds good enough, I'll probably buy it tomorrow.>>1353366nothing wrong with solitaire.
How do I get back my passion for board games...
>>1353426By playing board games, do you know what made you lose it?
>>1353426Depends on what made you lose the passion, could be being burnt out from playing so much, maybe you haven't found too many new games that keep you interested, or people to play with,etc.Nothing wrong with taking a little break, or maybe go back to playing other games instead of keep trying to find new ones.That said, any pals around to play?
>>1353372There actually are many solo board games out there, or ones with solo modes. Many of them are quite good, if you can get over the fact that playing them is in itself a constant soul crushing reminder that you aren't able to muster up other people.
