Hi everyone, I thought I’d say hi in this new community as a new moderator. I’m Foon (she/her), and I love table top games. My partner and I have been gaming a lot in the past 5 years or so, and we have a bunch of friends that turned into boardgamers too, and boardgamers that we turned into friends. So on average we get almost a game a day in.
I’m excited to discuss all things tabletop gaming with you all. Some of my favourite games are Gloomhaven/Frosthaven, Spirit Island, Aeon’s End, Terraforming Mars.
What are y’all’s favourite games?
awesome to see this space!
I love ttrpgs, although I largely modify Ironsworn: Starforged (which I saw mentioned in another comment!) so that my partner and I have something to play as a duo, with our various worlds we’ve created and character cast. I haven’t played with a group in years, although I’d like to, I just struggle on the people front of it, and math isn’t something I’m great at.
I…collect a lot of them, too. I used to run a play-by-post AU of a video game world with a system I hacked together, for about 8 years. roughly two bookcases full of games, both ttrpgs and board games, then about 10gb of ttrpgs and related things.
my favorite board game is Pandemic Legacy, I’ve grown very fond of Season Zero and I’m working through it with someone else when they have time. Settlers of Catan is another favorite, but I feel like a lot of people like that one. I don’t get to play board games often though.
would card games also be welcome here?
If you have any other duo hacks, I’d be personally interested! I’m currently trying Wushu with a friend, but I’m always open to learning new systems.
As far as card games, I don’t see why not. We haven’t had a chance to sit down as a mod team yet though, so I can’t speak for anyone else. It’s frustrating that there’s no tag system at the moment so people can filter out what they want and don’t want to see.
I know this is super late coming (sorry) but I was trying to think of my duo games. one that I did manage to remember was one I backed on Kickstarter, called Koriko: A Magical Year. I haven’t gotten to play it yet, but I very much plan to, I think the premise is really cool.
and while I haven’t played it either, I know the new One Ring ttrpg has solo rules, so while it might take some tinkering to get it to fit duo, it’s more leaning that way than something that doesn’t have any rules in that vein.
I don’t know if you know of Mythic GM Emulator, but I thought it might be worth a mention if you weren’t familiar with it.
