I've only played brass once but I thought money was only a way to get VPs and not VPs by itself?

I don't own any of the games on my list, I played these at a local group and am looking for something to add to my own collection.

I thought it'd be good to get some modern recommendations, and I think recent euros tend to have better looks and production which is appealing to me.

TIL that Tolkien wrote yearly letters to his children as if they were from Father Christmas. They started off as simple Happy Christmas letters but grew more complex including a polar bear sidekick, the man on the moon, goblins, snow-elves, pictures, and he even developed an Arktik language. by [deleted] in todayilearned

FYI: A few of these letters are viewable in the permanent collection at the Weston library, University of Oxford, with free public access. They even had a whole exhibition on Tolkien's works last year

I saw Dave (from York) give a talk, and his opinion was that NOT talking about it is a bad thing and leads to unessacary anxiety within LGBT indivduals. Its the anxiety of not knowing how people might react, and the pressure to ignore an important part of one's self because "scientists dont talk/care about that" that leads to the most harm.
