Exciting. Looks like quite a lot of setup.

Man, I’m trying hard not to rush along her childhood, but I’m so excited for the day VJ can play the games that I want to play! 😁

It's been a lot of fun to play board games over the years with my kids. Right now it's just my middle child (17) who still likes to play games on the regular. As I said before we're on a major MtG kick at the moment. But most Friday nights he grabs one of my board games and heads out with a group of friends to play. Love it.

I also raised them on D&D and rpgs which has been fun too. Hopefully you and your daugher get to rock some d&d/rpgs too!

Two of my regular gaming group members regularly fight over who gets red.

Oh man! broadly speaking, I like the feeling of starting out small and growing big and powerful. The deck building in Aeon's End and tableau building in Race for the Galaxy scratch that itch really well… as do the engine building in It's A Wonderful World and the super satisfying combo chains in Ganz schön clever (two other favorite

For that small to big/powerful have you played Through the Ages, or Twilight Imperium. Lengthy but satisfying.

For RPGs, I do enjoy fun mechanics and building up a character, but mostly I enjoy being a part of a good story! I like fun/interesting settings with fun/interesting characters and enough rules to keep things on the rails… but also enough emphasis on both imagination and randomization to keep things surprising!

I'd recommend Into the Odd, Cairn and the lesser known Weird North. They're my first foray back to the rules light games. Simple in design with lots of room for story.

How do you:
a. Roleplay a PC who is better than you at a given game of skill (fully, like chess, or partially like poker) Vs the GM who has to simulate various levels of skill
b. Turn that activity into a simple game that is also satisfactory?

I think the issue is mistaking player skill and actions with character skill and actions.
a. You don't need actor studio, you just need make- believe. I can make believe I'm a genius, I don't actually need to be one.
b. Isn't your core system (skill check, duels, combat) a satisfactory simple game?

I ran a session of Outgunned using the "Star Raiders" stuff from Action Flicks for a Star Wars game for May 4th and had a great time!

A surprise that Game Trade has ended. But more sad about your coming soon posts ending.

As much as I like the game, Player's Handbook (AD&D 2e) is a nightmare to refer to.

Was there ever a game or a campaign that you wished you could play, but now you have decided you won't ever?

Have you ever had to retcon a session (cancel and replay)?

If you were ever to play an extremely specialized character, one which could only do a single effective thing within the game, what do you think would still be fun for you?

Pity it's needs some errata.....there are some obvious mistakes that need remedying but I can't seem to find an errata anywhere.

That's the beauty of RPGs.
We talk about the game and the adventures we have experienced all the time. In person and in WhatsApp groups.
