Hesitant, honestly. I am inexperienced with RPGs in general, having only played a bit of D&D. But if it's a nice group and folks are willing to let a newbie join in, I'm all for it.

I like to know what I'm doing, so it would take some assurances that being a complete newcomer to the rules is okay, otherwise my comfort level would be low to non-existent. Preferably, I'd like to know the core mechanics and gimmick rules to be a little more comfortable with things, but even then... Social anxiety and all.

Hi all, I'm buying approximately 36 different games/expansions/misc. items from several of you totally roughly $600. Several of you have already GM'ed me, and to those of you I haven't responded to yet, I promise to reply/text each of you soon. My partner and I are headed to San Diego Comic-Con this week ahead of Gen Con, so I apologize for more delayed responses, but I'll be in Indy Wednesday-Monday and am flexible with meet up times. Because so many of you favor Math Trade meet up, I'm fine with meeting up there if that's your thing. I'd prefer to pay via Venmo if that's an option, but I'll try to have some cash on hand. I can also do Cash App. I'm not comfortable with carrying around $600 cash, though 😅. Again, thanks for your patience, and see you soon! And special thanks to Miranda Robinson for all your hard work on this VFM! Btw I still haven't figured out how we're getting everything back to CA, but I've promised my partner I will avoid all auctions and the consignment store this year 🤣!

Best,
Angelo

Hmm. I'm might be playing this on Discord next week. Then again, I'm in my sixties, so should I even be playing it? 🤔🙃

In case it isn't clear, Pestogor's comment is poking at the fact that Alice is Missing has been staying at the top of the Hotness list for months (?) now. The game is great, but little movement at the top of the Hotness get's boring after a while.

Previously, there was a boardgame with rpg elements that sat in the top spot for ages. What was it, Legacy of Dragonhold? I think it was a hybrid item (meaning both a boardgame and rpg in the database), which in turn meant that all activity on the BGG side (which has much, much more users and therefore activity compared to RPGG) was counting towards its place on the RPGG hotness.

For some, seeing a game they love on the hotness everyday is fine or even awesome. For others, seeing the same title over and over can become annoying.

My post was poking fun at the number of people who seem to think the game is only for "younger" people who sit glued to their phones and can play without actually speaking to someone. Being much older than that, I clearly don't fit that stereotypical player base.

I like to ignore stereotypes.

I may end up on my own for a couple weeks with time to kill. If so, the plan would be to go deep on a small number of games. My shortlist is Star Trek Captain's Chair and Frontiers and Shadowrun Crossfire.

Am I missing something critical? An argument could be made for Arydia or Xia or Terminator.

I rarely saw people using the phrase “liminal space” until Backrooms came out and now you can’t read a review without the author using the term.
