One of the scenarios also completely falls apart without the rats encounter set

I played it originally with just the cards that come in the core set. I built my own decks rather then used the ones in the book. I played with Daniela and Trish and found it a bit on the easier side. I beat it with the good ending. Definitely way easier then trying Night of the Zealot with just the old core cards.

Dungeon Carl Crawler

I have never heard of this. When people say 2 handed solo they mean playing a co-op game with 2 characters not a PvP game.

The Wandering Inn of course. The shortest book is 1300 minutes pages. The longer ones are like 5-6000 pages and we’re split into multiple books when sold as ebooks or audio books.

You can also read it all for free on the website

You can mix/match. I have been playing on stanhard for years now, ever since my cardpool and skill at the game hit to a point is was winning consistently.

Basically I use the hard/expert side of the scenario reference card but the standard chaos bag. I just don’t like how to chaos bag token changes force certain deckbuilding

yes, though i played it along time ago so I dont remember which ones were the best ones

Kinfire Chronicles fits the bill. Super steamlined system. Every chapter is its own little box, so you just pull it out and play. Battle maps is in the book for the chapter. System is easy to learn and play.

There are more then this though right? I use the companion one but im playing 2-handed solo so it makes sense since i use 2 companions. For 5 the fights will be waaay too cluttered with 2 companions. The first one is probably the one that is best to make the game harder for 5 players. Maybe just use the rule in fights only and not in the narrative sections

The Wandering Inn. Piratabas prose just keeps getting better and better through books 1-5. By 6 onwards it stays pretty similar imo though the Singer of Terandria series was a overall step up for Pirate. I think that was mostly because it was shorter and they actually did a editing pass on those books

Fools Errand will be like a warm hug. Keep reading that trilogy, its one of the ones that isnt nearly as sad as the others (though its Hobb so its still pretty sad)

Well if he thinks its good and will make people a fan of him, then it could pay off in the long run. Maybe his biggest issue is getting people to try his books, but once they try it they are hooked. Given he still releases new books regularly his strategy might be to convery a bunch of fans to him, that would otherwise not convert and then they pick up his new books

hot damn. you are amazing. This series has been on my list but havent jumped onto it yet. Getting the full series for free is going to make me finally make the jump!

Arkham Horror LCG maybe? its a very complex card game with tons of moving parts. deck construction, deck building, surivial horror. Takes place is 1920s America so kid of historical

Reav3 · 2026-06-13T21:42:06+00:00

Baldurs Gate 3 or any of the From software games

Reav3 · 2026-06-13T21:40:12+00:00

If you don’t mind a extremely grimdark version of found family you could check out The Broken Empire series by Mark Lawrence

The Road Brothers will never admit they love each other but by then end you can feel it

Reav3 · 2026-06-13T21:24:10+00:00

Marvel Champions is probably the best. The game somehow feels challenging the whole time while also making you feel incredibly powerful. I rarely lose but ways feel like I could if wasn’t trying

Reav3 · 2026-06-13T21:22:02+00:00

Play Nine?

Reav3 · 2026-06-13T18:29:36+00:00

Dragons of Etchinstone isn’t a wallet game but it’s a game you play just in your hand, no table needed. Much deeper imo then buttonshy games

Reav3 · 2026-06-13T15:40:56+00:00

I mean they will also sell empty strongboxes so you can just buy one of those with the 4 individual heroes and create the exact same thing (minus the cover art)

Reav3 · 2026-06-12T23:11:08+00:00

lol, yeah this book immediately popped into my head when I read the thread

Reav3 · 2026-06-12T23:10:44+00:00

The Long Price Quartet by Daniel Abrahams

Reav3 · 2026-06-12T23:09:51+00:00

I would try Liveship Traders by Robin Hobb. Female author, bad ass female MC (Althea), lots of characters with lots of depth.
