If anyone’s interested in swapping one or more of this year’s free games for another game (one of the other giveaways or a game from your collection), I’m open to propositions. Here are the games from my draw:
• Alan’s Adventureland
• Bear Valley
• Temporum + Alternate Realities
• Bohnanza expansion: Bohna Nostra
• Bohnanza expansion: Ladies & Gangsters
• Bohnanza expansion: Princes & Pirates


I have Faiyum & expansion, and Coal Country.

I would trade these for something.


Faiyum is traded. Still have Coal Country.

What would you like for Coal Country? I don’t remember what I got right now but nothing that interests me that much.

Parsing results in pbf can take it's time without affecting normal pbf pace at all.
Parsing results is Solo gaming.
Game enables storytelling....

I like systems that are quick and simple to evaluate. You want a generalized mechanic that works very well. I can handle a little complexity in there, but too much kills the flow of the game.

I'm here for the story, not a dice game!


I mean, I'm here for the game, not the story. The story, to me, is a way to knit together the game components and make them interesting as part of a larger whole. With that said, if you're going to be using a resolution mechanic over-and-over, you want it to be quick and smooth so as to simplify all the complex elements of the game and make it playable.

I want both the game and the story. RPGs need a story, but without the game element it's just story-telling.

And in follow on to my bad dice rolling, I played Heroclix last night. I took a powerful Superman figure so I only needed 6 on 2D6 to hit. So... a dozen rolls later I'm still trying to roll a six. I mean, seriously and statistically that's nearly impossible!

Banned for maintaining the envelope and marauding as the evicted.

I like Brute Lee and the Mousetrap, but do not think they quite make it to the level of geekiness we are looking for.
