Can I get uhhh JP tabletop recs?
Here's a ublock origin filter to remove all the Villanous copy-pasted character slops from the workshop.steamcommunity.com##div.workshopItem:has-text(/Villainous/i)
>>1514478You know a game is good by the amount of fan content it has.This is just petty
>>1514482Don't care, and amount doesn't equate to quality. It's just braindead character reskins so you can have your favorite anime character in some shitty Disney card game.
>>1514478wtf
>>1514482>You know a game is good by the amount of fan content it hasNot everything popular is good. It could just be a Disney-made thing.
>>1514482Villainous would have been immediately forgotten if it wasn't themed around Disney characters. It's pure nostalgia baiting because the game itself is extremely boring.
>>1514482You're right actuallyThe less fan content it has, the more it's likely to be goodVillainous is just garbage, almost at the same level as mon*poly, r*sk and c*tan
>>1514992>the less fan content it has (..)very true, and it applies to every single media on earth
>>1514735The Disney theme is just to attract the females, the game is a great battler
Is Tragedy Looper Rei any good?
>>1515115>battlerwhat are you even talking about, each player does their own thing and pretend to mess with others' progress by doing one particular action that just forces the opponent to draw bad stuff from a deck, where is the battling? not that i care about battlers but get your definitions straight>>1515214if it's anything like the base game I doubt it
>>1515225What didn't you like about Tragedy Looper?
>>1515214It's the archetypical expansion. New characters, new action cards, new counters, tokens for tracking character status easier, and a whole new tragedy set with new plots and new rules. I won't play it, but only because I wanna play more of the base game first.
>>1515586Oh oops, Rei is the expansion. I meant the base game. I see that it got a reprint by a new publisher who fixed some typos and mistranslations from the first one, it looks like, but the TTS version is probably based on the older version. I was gonna grab the reprint to play with some friends. It also seems to come with some of the recent scenarios, etc.
>>1515592I could host it in like 9~10 hours if you wanna try it before you buy it.
>>1515594I won't be around then, so maybe some other time. Thanks though.
>>1515595Oh well, i'll try hosting on the weekend then.
no games?
>>1516067sure
no bitches?lobby name: g/vm/espass: ragein mood for word games/socded/dixit type shit
>>1516190oh shit everyone died
>>1516190done with warmup jiggy, doing sky team coop game nowalso the lobby crashed (shitty host), lobby is back up
>>1516247after 3rd player joined us and we finished with piloting the airplane, we settled for classic clovering
>>1516190finished the clover with astonishing results:4/63/60/6-----total: 7/18closing the lobby for now, but for the brave ones i leave you this clover to solve on your own, good luck
Any games planned for today?
>>1516731Yeah, some 2 player card battlers between me and the other anon from yesterday
>>1516731I'm game.
>>1516736>>1516737Host, I'll go for whatever
>nobody is brave enough to hostdamn, i guess it's good to know i'm not the only one like that but still
Room: /vm/ gamesPass: rage
>>1516770On surface, hosting is a pretty simple task. From a completely logical point of view, you're just going to be another player with a few extra responsibilities.But failed hosts brought about insecurities and disappointments that weigh too heavily, for me personally, to even think about hosting again.
>>15167763/4 in for pic related, starting in 5 mins.
>>1516776Red wins with 52. Deciding on next game
>>1516776>>1516848We played Huang and teal won with 8. GG all, room closed.
>>1516957How different is it from Tigris & Euphrates/ Yellow & Yangtze?
>>1516983Want to try it? I can host it.
>>1516983an extra tile color to replace treasures, each tile has some silly function beyond "make vp", and external conflicts can now have 3 sides and every player picks a city/state to add fighting strength to instead of every leader color conflict being resolved one at a time. Oh, and the temples only take 3 tiles to make, but they don't have two colors, only one.i prefer T&E but Huang isn't bad, just different variation on the same core game
>>1516988Can't rn
any late night games with more than 2 players?
>>1517181Yes
>>1517181>more than 2 players?no
>>1517181Could do some Pax later
>>1517181How about some TtA?
Lobby: /v/oard gamesPassword: rage
>>1517276Starting off strong
>>1517317>Free east AND west ops every turnIt was carnage.
>Saturday>No hosts
>>1518573I am sick, I don't want to host.And now it's too late :)
>>1517317Read the rulebook for this. You need an special kind of autism to understand any of it.
>>1518594But they told me it can be taught in 5 min to newcomers in lobby and its very easy to learn
>>1518594Not reallyBut you need to have the player aid close and consult it at all times or you'll forget what exactly each op and os doesSo yes it requires autism but not to learn it, just to play it until you remember the minutiae
>>1518594not really. You have a limited amount of things that can happen, and while each card has different abilities on it, all the abilities are simple.You get 2 actions a turn. The actions you can do are:>buy a cardby placing coins from your hand onto the cards to the left of the one you buy. Most cards, when bought, go to your hand.>play a cardfrom hand, into tableau, optionally using its' One-shot ability at the bottom, or placing it's Agents (also marked on the bottom of the card) on an empty city in the cards' associated area (one of ten specific map cards, or a general The East/The West).>sell a cardfrom hand or from tableau for 2 coins to your hand>activate West/East opsusing the Operation abilities on all your tableau cards associated with that side. Ops are generally simpler than oneshots, but you get more of them per action.>activate the Trade Fairby using the leftmost market card (the facedown one) and divvying up all the coins on it between pawns and pirates on the associated trade route on the map. Map cards also get free units if the trade fair reaches them, as it ends as soon as the coins do.>winbut only if a) anyone bought one of the four special Comet cards to flip an objective from inactive to active, and b) you have completed that active objective. The objective tiles explain themselves but they all boil down to "have more stuff" or "have some specific stuff". And yes, winning takes a full action, so if you need two actions to set up a win, you might have to rethink your plans because other players will see that and will stop you.Other than that you dont need to know much, even intermediate players still use the ops and oneshots cheat sheet to see what they all do.
Hosting/v/oard, rageyes, no advance notice so ill leave it open for longer while i play metaphorno i don't know what to play, ill paste the list from previous post (but you guys will just disregard it anyways)Hansa teutonicaBrass birminghamGWT (2e / NZ / ARG)RootRaTerraforming MarsTigris & EuphratesPuerto RicoKeyflowerprobably* open to suggestions
>>1518650Sorry nonnie, it's just a bit too late for me
>>1518650>play metaphorI will not join your host
>>1518650Okay, trying again in 2 hours if i havent fallen asleep then
>>1518607I can teach it in like 20 minutes, it really quite simple, it just has a lot of decision space. >>1518594As everybody said, it's more daunting than it looks from the rulebook, but the game is fairly straightforward once you see it in motion. Better to set up and read while learning then trying to read and learn just from that.
hey bros, I just got tts and looking for some easy to learn and fun games with a group of 5-7 friends. exploding kittens we just learned super fast and had fun with it. any other recs would be appreciatedalso on my learning list are secret Hitler and love letter
>>1518839At that player count? Twilight Imperium 4
>>1518839The Campaign for North Africa
>>1518839>5-7with that amount you'll end up playing party games, meme games and traitor gamesif you want actual games i'd split in 2 groups, hard to find one game that everyone likes anywaysbut if you want to stick with 5-7...7 WondersCartographersCitadelsUp to 6:Colt ExpressCosmic FrogPower GridMission red planet

/vm/orningrage
>>1518839Stationfall and Sidereal Confluence support that many players, but SC needs multiple voicechat channels for it to not become a mess when playing onlineAlso i would recommend Captain SONAR if it had good tables for it on TTS but my mileage wasn't great with those.
>>1519662>Stationfall and Sidereal ConfluenceWorth mentioningStationfall is a medium-to-heavy games. The mechanics aren't complex but they have a lot of cruft and frills.Sidereal Confluence is a light game.
>>1520314>Sidereal Confluence is a light game.but with so much talking, and even more potential for math, i'd treat it as a medium game still
>>1520335I'm not going to say the board state doesn't get complex, but it's a matter of fact that the rules are simple. If his group is used to Exploding Kittens they might stumble with Stationfall but they definitely won't with SidCon.
>>1520339>SC is a light game>Compares Exploding Kittens rules to SCAnd this is why you should never take /bgg/tards seriously
>>1520354you shouldn't take BGGulag seriously either with their dredge of blind rankings and absolute shit takesSidereal Confluence is simple core rules(trade everything and anything except earned victory points, duringeconomy all economy happens at the same time), slightly involved faction rules (but you only need to know your own faction fully, half of them are "you have this wacky bonus to getting cash") and difficult strategy because of how the economy is set up (you always need to trade if you wanna make money)it is absolutely a party game for people who can into medium weight games
>>1520363>my medium-heavy asymmetrical economic game is like a party game for my group>i'm so smarttoo much effort for a bait of low quality
>>1520363I've come to understand that <<game weight>> has nothing to do with how difficult the mechanics are, just the level of investment and interest required from players to properly play itin sharting kittens you can just randomly play cards just fine and nobody will care, so it caters to people who don't actually play actual board games, they join because the others are there tooI'm assuming (dont know the game) that SC requires you to actually pay at least a bit of attention to what is going on at the table so you cant just sit on the table and be entirely clueless all the time cause it'll be a waste of everyones' time
>>1520354The gulag's weight rating is consistently garbage.You have a bunch of cards with recipes on them. Each recipe can be used once per turn to convert resources into other resources. Some recipes takes cards as input and gives cards as output, giving you new recipes.At the start of each turn players freely trade resources and can use recipes that input or output cards. Other recipes are used after trading and only resources owned at the moment trading finished are allowed to be used as inputs in them.After everyone is done with their recipes, there are two auctions to determine the order players get to buy a card from two markets. Bids use a specific resource and all bids are made simultaneously.In bid-order players spend their bid to buy a card or choose to keep their bid if it can't afford any cards in the market or if they don't want anything.Player-specific cards that were traded away are returned to their owner at the end of the turn. Some recipes output cards for every player for you to hold on to until this point in the turn.After six turns all resources are converted into points at various exchange rates.There's a few faction specific details, some recipes force you to conduct trades, and the notation on the cards is a bit inconsistent but what I covered above is >95% of the game rules.At some point there's 200 different cards on the table that all have different recipes on them but the rules aren't heavy.
>>1520354Go back

>>1520444Check 'em, gg.
so i reworked the design of all my cards on my shitty isekai boardgame, i will start hosting it again this week to see the new balance changes and if the new design works better than the last one.anybody interested?
>>1520506>requires three bedsS-she's a big girl.
>>1520506Nice work lad, that's definitely a big improvement.
i might learn digimon one day i think desu
>>1521039You mean the card game? It's absurdly simple to learn, pretty fun too
>>1520444>keep presenting yokohama as an option for lobbies for monthsNobody fucking cares>some random guy hosting at ungodly hours puts it upHell yeah lets play it Whatever
>>1521094moral of the story: just like host game
>>1521039The autistic evolution charts were made-up by video games, the card game is much simpler
>>1521107Words to live by.
>>1521094It's the gets, have to be.
>>1520506>ai "art"I'm sorry anon, but I don't think I can handle constant nausea while playing
>>1521094I'd be happy to play it again if you want, I rushed orders that game and left myself wanting more anyway. Does tonight at around 8-ish ET+2 sound good?
>>1521107Clarification: i did host, but everytime everyone disregarded yoko and we played other games instead>>1521150Huh?>>1521235>8 EST+2 Isnt that uhhh... midnight UTC +2?Sorry no can do, can only do that on friday, and saturday sometimes
>>1521305>Isnt that uhhh... midnight UTC +2?Mmm no, I don't think it is? 8PM ET+2 would be 6PM ET, which it'll be in 3 hours, 30 minutes.Fuck timezones to be honest lol, but well in any case, maybe I'll host it in the weekend if I don't go play irl.
>>1521368>in 3 hours 30 minutesyeah, that's exactly midnight, ok, good to know. so no, can't
its up
>>1521703Updog?
>>1522378Host it
I crave Through the AgesDo you crave Through the Ages?
>>1523192Maybe. Just a little. But not today and not with more than 3 players
>>1521120I assume the original digivolution evolution charts are based on the handheld toys, which are basically Tamagotchi for boys.
>>1523999I consider them video games
>>1523656Seeing how you replied to me at 4:15am my time, it might be difficult to ever play lol. Guess we could do it in the weekends but I'm generally busier then. At least I did scratch the itch a little against a friend, at the cost of beating him 184 vs 45.
>>1524889I replied in the morning as i woke up before going to work, i wouldnt have played at the time of replying anyways
We can't compete against physical cardboard.........
>>1525322Holiday season is just busy, but I can probably start finding time for some short sessions mixed in.
Any you's and I'll host.Let's play something fun (fun) and enjoy the start of the weekend.

ggs
>>1526604Thanks for the games :)
Looks like Eurofriends are going to bed, hmu if somebody is here still wanting to play, thinking about some Pax Ren or Porf.
would anyone be interested in playtesting my shitty star trek fan boardgame?
>>1526983No i just wasnt expecting the lobby that started 6 hours ago to be still up
>>1527006How many players and how does it compare to Ascendancy
>>1527010It's nothing like Ascendancy, though that game is fantastic. I made it in a week-long frenzy of egomaniacal autism based on the sole concept of a "Ferengi Board Game." It's a little unpolished but I've done a very limited amount of test games with a couple of friends and I want outside opinions.It's called Rules of Acquisition. The base game theory is 4-8 players vie for economical control of the Alpha Quadrant (planned a Gamma Quadrant expansion) via trading commodities I tokenized as Materials, Food, Hardware, Weapons and Luxuries.Whoever has the most latinum at the end of 8 turns wins the game.Minimum 3 players, about 1.5hrs, and +15min for every player beyond 4. The premise of the game is that the Nagus recently passed away. The players are powerful traders who take turn being Nagus-in-Waiting as they try to edge out the competition. (c)
>>1527029Each turn, players pass around the Nagus' Scepter to decide who the turn's "dealer" is. The Scepter-holder draws 3 event cards off the top of the Opportunity deck and reads them aloud. The Nagus-in-Waiting chooses what order they resolve in, if they have triggered events on them. Opportunity cards increase or decrease the sell value of one of the commodities, as well.Then they draw one Rule of Acquisition which usually has some modifying factor for the turn based on the flavor of one of the Rules of Acquisition. Players can also move their Trading Post in this phase. Each player has an orbital trading post that acts as their HQ. Starting with the player to the left of the Nagus, players bid on resources. Each pool scales based on the number of revealed icons on the board. Planets can be blocked by Opportunity cards via event tokens. (Riots, embargo, etc.)Top bid gets tokens equal to shown, 2nd highest gets 1/2, all other bidders get 1. Bidding is admittedly weird: Normally, you must bid higher than the previous highest bid, unless you're bidding for last place.Then there's a phase for players to trade with each other. Ideally you want this on a timer, but it's bound to be chaotic. Players can also negotiate "Trade Agreements" in this phase to allow others to sell in their territory. Each player only has one Trade Agreement card. The Nagus-in-Waiting approves or denies all trade deals, based on his whimsy.Then, players may sell resources, corresponding to Demand stickers on the region of space where their trading post is, or anywhere they have Trade Agreements. This is the general idea of the turn order. Players also have Contracts that act as hidden objectives that they can complete at the end of a turn.
>>1527030Occasionally, Opportunities may arise that decrease Trust amongst the Ferengi, as they are generally unscrupulous bastards. In doing so, the N-i-W draws a Suspicion card that generally has a negative effect.The game table is PARTIALLY automated and I've put a lot of my autism and love into this game. I'm not the best game-coder but I tried my best.
>>1527034The last thing I forgot to touch on is Betrayal. Players are expected to honor their agreements... until they're not. If a player reneges on their deals, they receive a Betrayal token, which exempts them from the next time they'd be given the Nagus scepter. If there's ever conflict on whether or not a deal was violated, the decision goes to the holder of the scepter.There's also an optional rule that you can bribe any other player any amount of latinum for any reason, so long as it's on your turn or their turn, which I generally think is on-brand and keeps the game competitive.
>>1527029>week-long frenzy of egomaniacal autism based on the sole concept of a "Ferengi Board Game."already exists, it's called Chinatown and it's sequel Sidereal Confluencejokes aside this looks interesting, i would be down to play tomorrow
>>1527037I have it hidden on the Workshop for now, but if I think it doesn't need more time to cook, I'll probably make it public. Hopefully we can round up 1-2 more players.
>>1527050I'd be down to play as well, even now. Can't promise tomorrow because that's too vague, might be asleep
>>1527050Count me in too for right now. Spelunky just beat my ass and I'm free now.
>>1527217It's time.
>>1527251>>1527217Game ends with a score of 189 vs 107! GG, finishing up with a game of Pax Renaissance most likely.

>>1529673No prob, I forgot to say I was closing the lobby because I got invited to play vidya. Maybe next Friday or Saturday night.
Nothing like finishing the weekend with a fantastic game. And what a tense one it was, you ever rarely get a Patron Victory. 1 hour 22 minutes of pure cockblocking. What a great game.>Captcha: R0PST
>>1529146I say this.
>>1529124Man, I regret buying Clank Catacombs first instead of Clank. It's ultimately the better valued experience, but each time I bring it to a table, it's clear that it's better to start off with normal Clank for new players to get a feel for things (which is a shame because Catacombs also usually runs $10-$20 cheaper)
>>1530749Is Clank Catacombs that different and harder than the original?
>>1530804No it's not any more """"difficult"""" than clank, it's just that people who never touched boardgames get lost more easily if the map is composed of tiles that get added as the game goes on as opposed to a single unchanging board, even if the game is the same
>>1530804I'd say it just benefits a lot more from being familiar with Clank. With the vanilla version, you've got the whole board laid out for you, and seeing ahead helps you get a grasp on the game. You have a clearer picture of what cards you'd want/need to get, you know what treasures are available, which treasures and secrets are in reach of whom, and a better sense of how much danger you're in with all the clanking. Catacombs doesn't change much at its core, but not only is the board effectively obscured, but by the very nature of being dynamic, the paths aren't set, and that seems to make it so they juggle their choices a lot more. I've used both versions of Clank as a "first game" for those looking to go beyond the Parker Brothers, and I've noticed that players usually waffle about and score lower with Catacombs than they do with Vanilla.
>>1530749>It's ultimately the better valued experienceIn terms of cardboard per dollar maybe, as a game it's worse
>>1530955Elaborate.
>>1528157Is this one of those famours Euro games with a billion moving pieces and effects you have to keep track of?
Hosting nao and will stay around for a few hours/v/oard gaymespass: **rage**Possible planned games:Final EncounterDeep Rock Galactic board gamePort RoyalFire TowerWingspanClankRootSpotsCULTivateBinding of Isaac 4 souls (expansions optional)EnchantlandSagradaProject LWaiting gaems:OnitamaHorror HouseDoom FluxxAny games not listed here you'll have to teach me
>>1530976fucked up the spoiler, pass is just "rage"
>>1530955Disagreed. Catacombs is just a more replayable version of Clank at the end of the day. I'd certainly prefer the individual expansions as a way to add variety, as even something like Sunken Treasures that adds very little in new mechanics and just changes the map flow is enough to give it a lot of character, but that's buying a lot of cardboard.
>>1530975No, it's a very ameritrash sandbox with only a dozen pieces to keep track of, but they're all walls of text instead
>>1531012I don't remember it having too much text aside from the flavor text in the missions. I guess the aid counts until you learn it.
>>1530975What exactly made you think that thing is an euro? It screams sandbox game, euros aren't sandbox games
>>1531030It has a VP tracker and there's what looks like 2 more trackers in the top right next to the cards, only euros have this many pointless trackers
>>1531036>VP track equals eurooh... okonly played M&M once but im almost sure the 2 trackers in the top right are just for non-player encounters (meaning they move very slowly) but ok, guess that's already way more than what you can handleI dont even like M&M
>>1531030>euros aren't sandbox games
>>1531036The two trackers in top right are>npc ship stats for when a player is fighting an npc>merchant graveyard to track when to repopulate the seasall points, no less, look at it, it looks like six healthbars in one grid
>>1531063>& BoatsIt's already half M&M!
>>1531063And Feudum, and High Frontier, and Western Legends too.
>>1531067Wouldn't really call Western Legends a euro when it's entirely driven by poker
>>1531067No idea about R&B or HF, but Western Legends isn't an euro in the least, and calling Feudum a sandbox game is a stretch
>>1531068At the end of the day it's an efficiency puzzle to solve, get the most VP in the fastest way possible.>>1531070>and calling Feudum a sandbox game is a stretchWhat the fuck is your definition of a sandbox game if you don't think Feudum is one?
>>1531073>get the most VP in the fastest way possiblewith that reasoning even Root is euro....might aswell just say that you think that only games that dont involve victory points in any shape or form aren't euros, which makes even Twilight Imperium a euro...>what is a sandbox gameLet's just copypaste something from the gulag- Open world, free-roaming and highly non-linear boardgames Does that describe Feudum? I do not agree, i mean sure you have a little bit more freedom compared to other games but not enough to compare it to WL, M&M...
>>1531078>Does that describe Feudum?Yes, have you even played Feudum?
>>1531080>disregards everything else in the post, and it wasnt even the first sentence or two, he literally just cherrypicked to retortBut yeah, I have and it's not what would come to mind if somebody asked me to give him examples of sandbox games
Now that you mention it, WL does feel influenced by the Euro school of thought, but it's too focused on theme to really be one, nobody would call it Ameri though, that said, those definitions are so loose and outdated anyways, shit ain't black or white. Root is pretty influenced by Euros>>1531070Feudum is very sandboxy, you have a lot of free reign about your strategy and paths to victory. The fact that M&M has more doesn't make it less of a sandbox. We oughta play it again sometime, the action selection of it is great, and we were really bad at it lol, nobody used wine to cuck guild leaders from blocking doing their pull actions once.
>>1531082Nothing else you said is relevant and you are literally quoting god damn boardgamegeek. Check your brain.
>>1531068you can cheese the poker with efficiency tricks like always having cards in handefficiency tricks like in a eurogame where you optimize how you go about scoring your score
>>1531091Only thing i quoted from bgg is the definition (crazy isn't it? I literally said i got it from there and it's not like it's wrong anyways) and funnily enough it's the only thing you replied to, nice projection>>1531089point being that anons here are very black-and-white about it, they do not realize that the massive majority of board games from like, 2000 onwards aren't either 100% euro or 100% american, and besides they dont even know what each of these terms mean anyway, they just use them as boogeyman substitutes for "thing i dont like"
>>1531095>point being that anons here are very black-and-white about it, they do not realize that the massive majority of board games from like, 2000 onwards aren't either 100% euro or 100% american, and besides they dont even know what each of these terms mean anyway, they just use them as boogeyman substitutes for "thing i dont like"Now who is projecting?I'll humor your trolling and go back to your dumbass post. Root is more of an Euro than it is a Wargame by a longshot, you also have so little headspace to think about context to think that because I said it has VP it makes it an Euro. WL is more of an Euro because it has low interaction and a focus on being EFFICIENT, nice cherrypicking btw.I replied to your stupid quote with a simple "yes" because that's all it needed, you literally described Feudum.Play some games instead of being a retard in public.
>>1531094By that definition of an efficiency trick building a bigger army in TI4, COIN or even Hex&Chit like SEXXXX is an efficiency trick to defeat your opponent faster making those games euros
>>1531101But american doesnt not equate wargame, does it? Zombicide is the quintessential ameritrash, would you call it a wargame? please say no
>>1531101>Root is more of an Euro than a WargameCorrect, it's more shit than it is good
Anyone played this game on the TTS's banner?
>>1531113No but it looks like another Arkham Horror. I played AH like 2 or 3 times and I've already had my fill for a lifetime
>>1530976lobby is still up
>>1531113Why did they choose that game in particular to use as a banner?
>>1531119lobby closed due to aids
>>1531073>>1531094>play ramp in MTG>opponent leaves because I've turned our wholesome card battler into an efficiency trick e*ro
>>1531231>including ramp cards in your deck (basic deckbuilding skill) is too much for MTGfags
Anyone tried Ponzi Scheme and can tell me if it's any good? Would like to try it at some point, maybe on friday since I'll have a day off
>>1531231>play ramp in MTG>gets shitfucked and ends the game by the starter red deck because they dealt 20 damage turn 4you cant do this in e*ros
>>1531547You absolutely can, just with e*ros it's dragged out over 2-3 hours despite the fact that you were irreparably boned and left with no options to properly set your shit up by Turn 2.
>>1531299I always see it on my LGS when I go check what's new.Tell you what, you give me some money to invest and in a week's time I'll give you back enough so you can buy it and many more copies.
>>1531063someone needs to host this again, i wanna try it out
>>1532001You are someone.
>>1532038i dont know the rules though....:(
If anyone still wanted to help me test my homebrew Ferengi board game, I'm putting a lobby up, now. Sorry for not following up before, I had a busy week.lobby: RoAPTpw: latinum
>>1532140I don't get it, which one, what's it about?
>>1532152I mentioned it a few days ago in these posts:>>1527029>>1527030>>1527034>>1527036
>>1532110You can learn them and then teach like anybody else.
>>1532155I dont know how to teach either.I guess we're never playing
>>1532140Waiting on one more person for the playtest. Ideally two more would be great, but one at least.
>>1532140Table's still up. If not now, then I'll try again some time today closer to after EST dinner, I guess.
>>1532253alright im just gonna shut it down for now, maybe fridayor something
anyone?
>>1532759Yes?>15 minute timer>captcha doesn't work, have to restart router>another 15 minute timerAnd I still see just as much samefagging and botposts, the most retarded fucking change in recent years, even more than removal of IP counter
>>1532785Huh? Bot posts? Which ones?
>>1532788I've never hosted in the thread before.. I'm so nervous haha/vm/orningrage
>>1532839oh lmao that yeah okay
>>1532839>hosting while I'm busyunforgiveable
>>1532839closing up
>>1532839If only you had hosted 6 hours earlier, how inconsiderate if you.
