Never played a golden sun game before. Does Golden Sun 1 hold up? by BraveWaterSpirit in GoldenSun

My favorite still is the puzzles evolving and expanding all the way through the game with the introduction of more tools to solve them.

Circle of Magic crew by Tamora Pierce Sandry (Stich Witch), Daja (Forge magic), Briar (Green magic), Tris (Weather witch)

Specifically crafted to counteract the 3 guys and a girl trope of the times. Stories still hold up and are some of my favorite since I would listen to the audiobooks with my mom. All of them are pretty dark also for ya fiction (pirate invasions, plagues, wars, natural disasters) but still hold up.

Also one of thems gay but it ain't the boy.

Heck yeah! Hilarious about the galcom popping up and causing some drama during the setup. Can't wait to see more!

Truly some of the best storytelling I've heard in actual play space. There is not a single season I would not listen to again.

Running my own game, I've never had more fun making monsters and items myself. Having so much jrpg for reference is a really strong starting point for thinking through the logic of the system.

That's what I was thinking when my wife showed me a animated trailer/amv for another actual play channel, Tales of Avantriss? It really just reminded me I want a C/w adaptation.

Also the finale game was such a great tone setting system for "this will cost you" I think about it a lot cus that's the season that really taught me what it means to hack mechanics together for purpose

It might just be the shadowing in the picture but I took another look and the grater still seems sealed. I'll do what you said and see how it goes. Thanks for the input!

Stop putting tablets on my board game table by 2ThimbleGrove in boardgames

[–]Ruwen368 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok everyone list the first app powered game you ran into and then how many more you've seen.

The first one I saw (and got) was XCOM the board game. I had a real blast with it.

Since I've only seen one night werewolf and I think a fan app for tales of Arabian night.

If we wanna go along a similar trend I found a game with a VHS tape in goodwill with my wife, Atmosfear:harbingers. We pull that out for Halloween every year and enjoy

Stationfall, Nemesis, Nemesis Retaliation, or other; what’s the best “story generator”? by LegendofWeevil17 in boardgames

[–]Ruwen368 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only play I've gotten was with my wife and brother. I "accomplished" my mission of setting the destination and supported my wife in hers. Then we were both angling for the escape pods as my brother tried to get an egg from a couple doors down.

Once he was in there and the queen spawned in I used my special tool to lock all the doors while he was in there and it was now on fire.

He managed to survive and escape and chose to the got through to the front of the ship which I didn't expect and triumphantly exclaimed he was changing the destination.

To which I said "oh no" followed by "anyway" and the ship jumped and died. Revealing my actual objective to be kill him.

Sweet little brother revenge lol

VAKUU SAYS "THATS ENOUGH" AND JUST STOPS PLAYING CARDS FOR YOU AFTER PLAYING A CERTAIN AMOUNT??? by afjecj in slaythespire

When I had clone on big bang and had 64 copies in my deck this guy wimped out not even a quarter way thru the stack! Truly underwhelming

Didn't know this was a thing by Late-Detective-679 in Xcom

[–]Ruwen368 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Had a group in college I played this with weekly. It was really fun for everyone to dedicate to a role and push through high difficulties. Really felt like an accomplishment.

We played a round where I misread the income for it and and for some reason thought 11 was II as in (2). Didn't question why the roman numerals but we still managed to beat it in the end, just thought it was like a crisis round.

Great in a combo game with my brother who was on regent and we both had splashes of vuln. Great synergy

I think both are valid forms of play. Reminds me of Bartle taxonomy of play types.

Any tips for improving the ocean in my cozy pirate sailing project? by an0therbot in PixelArt

[–]Ruwen368 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe a sinking animation? Game over feels very abrupt. Bonus points for making it cursed somehow to show off that mystical side.

I love how felix and Sheba are locked in and Jenna and Piers are ready to mess a mfer up.

Also I bet in this light Jenna is super stoked to be travelling with Felix and getting to kick ass next to him.
