I don't mind playing it once in a blue moon but you have to be detached from the results emotionally. It's too random. So you just use it as a vehicle to be social in a nerdy way I guess. Not much of a game.
I'm with Moe Tousignant. I refuse to play Diplomacy anymore. If I really want that sort of "fun", I'll try out for Survivor or Big Brother, and at least try for a cash prize...
Ian Reilly I've had that experience. I sit there and watch them and think ... if this is what it means to be into geek fantasy stuff, maybe I need to rethink my choices in life. ha ha.
monopoly is that game for me. someone could probably make a better game out of it by adding some sort of arsonist or contract killer mechanic to it by augmenting chance and community chest, or if you land on baltic or mediterranean where the hit men and arsonists live.
I have to say, I really don't hate the board game tracker - I thought it was a gimic until I used it - it is actually more useful than everyone having their own D10 or D20.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Life is short and unfair. I don’t even know what to say. Hours after the last picture I posted of Alice and the kids we came home from the movie to find her nearly dead in her kennel. She stayed at the vet for 36 hours, and after making some improvement on the first day, started to fade last night. I was with her when they put her to sleep this morning. We buried her collar and her stuffed elephant under our deck where she liked to crawl just out of reach. Alice had four owners in her short life. She survived being hit by a car and moving from Alabama to Minnesota. Then being moved around in foster care before she got to us. I hope she knew she was with for the long haul. She was a good pup. This is the last picture I took of her. We were visiting her yesterday at the vet, anticipating bringing her home today.
Pre-gen from Frank Mentzer's module, The Needle , 1987. I knew this was insulting and gross when I was 14. At the time I didn't know who Frank was, since I only played AD&D. I found this module again when I was going through a box of old stuff and was surprised he wrote it, because I thought it was a pretty shitty adventure.
I thought Monopoly was the big relationship destroyer.
ReplyDeleteDiplomacy. That is the worst.

ReplyDeleteFor some reason my nerd friends really like it but while we play I really don't like them
ReplyDeleteMy feelings on this game should be obvious.

ReplyDeleteA nice, friendly game to enjoy with your half-price Applebee's apps, Stephen Holowczyk?
