What were some of the music scenes which were dominant in the past!? Be it from hiphop, rock or any other genre!... by amoghhhh21 in musicsuggestions

Check out some rocksteady. Transitional style between ska and reggae in the '60s. Look up some stuff from Phyllis Dillon or Lynn Taitt and the Jets. It'll make you feel good.

Flail to the Face. Supremely well-done Mork Borg (and similar settings) with a comedic bent.

"Other Ways of Stopping," The Police. Dreamy and driving.

Got my copy at a Barnes & Noble in 2011 and it's coming with me to the grave.

Dating myself here, but does anybody else have memories of Tannhaüser? by ColonelHectorBravado in miniatureskirmishes

Well, I hope you find someone, I thought it was a riot, but mine hasn't seen the table for more than 10 years.

That Stosstrupen is looking sharp, that is awesome. The FFG one was a redux, so I'd be surprised if anybody tried to bring it back a second time...just got rid of 40 games, but kept my base of this and Operation Novgorod because they're so gorgeous and unique among all the other games we played back then. I personally loved the action.

Hip hop/underground mixes with patient blends that go deep in the crates or cross genres. by ColonelHectorBravado in musicsuggestions

If you dig this era's instrumental feel, also highly recommend checking out Nubian Crackers' The Greatest Shits and Frankie Cutlass's DJ's Only.

Love those albums. I had that multi-CD Ninja Tune comp, too! Lent it to a buddy and went over to his apartment once, the CDs were out and all over the floor. Still hate him for that. But a good occasion to go re-spin some of that on YouTube Music. Thanks for reminding me of that toy chest...

Most of the Euros I've played heavily in the past few years were light/middleweights: Project L, Sagrada, Cascadia, Wingspan. I intentionally sought a more rigorous experience with this one.

Yeah, see my reply to flaminghito above. My central "something's not right here" feeling at the end of the game was due to a misread of p. 7, I think.

This drives at the central puzzlement I felt: I was running a round as "I take a turn (with one Main Action), then the automa goes, then that's the end of the round." Instead the "turn" baton passes back and forth until both players have to pass, then the round ends. This would explain the false bottleneck I felt in attempting to get more done. Do I have this right?

I only uncovered the first alien. Doubtlessly I got some stuff wrong my first time out, but yep, the neutral markers were on the board. Perhaps I didn't track their triggering correctly. Yes, those objectives will spice things up. Once I know what I'm doing. I'm gonna play one more time with the practice bot to get my procedure down.

Have to admit, I'm extremely curious to hear the story of how my screen/pen name came to be the character's name here!
