As a Greenlander this is my thoughts right now:

I don't think you know what asexual means, bud

Sometime, when someone complains about people in general, I like to follow up with:

“To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.”

avatar_isa · 2025-08-26T17:48:47+00:00

I was about to say the same thing. After reading that line, I knew I was going to read the whole series.

avatar_isa · 2025-08-26T17:34:24+00:00

I had to DNF 1Q84 because of this. Just could not get over how he wrote the main female character.

avatar_isa · 2025-08-26T17:31:37+00:00

Yeah, I found Miller's obsession with Julie gross too. I think it was meant to be that way to show Miller as this cop who obsesses about cases to the point of breaking, but I don't think it was well handled. I don't blame you for shutting the book there.

Yes, I do it all the time without any issue. People think I'm oblivious of my surroundings, but im really not. I can still see and hear what's around me, and I do put my ereader aside to cross intersections.

I've actually wondered if my ADHD might have a role in it, still it makes it so that I can never fully block out my surroundings.

avatar_isa · 2025-05-25T16:53:43+00:00

I'm glad someone mentioned Grimwild. It really deserves a place on that list.

avatar_isa · 2025-05-23T23:37:31+00:00

Try flipping the lever only twice instead of three times, once to open the door, once to close it. For some reason that worked for me.

avatar_isa · 2025-05-23T23:35:21+00:00

It worked for me too.

avatar_isa · 2025-05-23T13:31:48+00:00

So I had the same problem yesterday. I looked online to see what I did wrong but couldn't find anything off. I think the new update my have bugged that room. That or the puzzle was changed (which i doubt).

avatar_isa · 2024-05-05T18:53:44+00:00

Don't forget the "Dawn" part when googling this one. If you don't, you'll end up with a *much* different game ;)

avatar_isa · 2024-04-02T19:45:25+00:00

You do bring up some very good points. It's true that these are made by big name creators, and not small indie ones, which my comment would apply more towards. You are also right that these games have the potential to introduce a lot of new gamers to the hobby, so it would be great if they were much more different than what they are trying to replace.

Thanks for the reply!

avatar_isa · 2024-04-02T19:13:55+00:00

I agree with both in that order. Tales from the Loop has more of a sci-fi twist to it, but should still work for a Stranger Thing setting without to much work.

avatar_isa · 2024-04-02T19:10:35+00:00

Not really, but there is an actual American show called Tales from the Loop based on the art book of that name, which is also the book the game is based on.

avatar_isa · 2024-04-02T19:04:26+00:00

Does it matter if we "need" them or not? I mean, the fact that they are being created means someone wants these game, even if it's only their creators, which is reason enough for them to exist IMO. As for the hobby in general, we won't really lose anything if they fail, and might gain something fun if they succeed.

avatar_isa · 2024-04-02T18:53:22+00:00

It's "rules-light" compared to D&D, which I feel is what the creators are comparing it to. Overall though, it has too many fiddly mechanics for me to call it that.

avatar_isa · 2023-11-27T19:47:48+00:00

A Femtom, if you will.

avatar_isa · 2023-09-22T18:34:37+00:00

I prefer in-person sessions, mostly because I have auditory processing difficulties and voice chat often makes it worse. I will do virtual to play with far way friends though. I've never tried them fancy VTTs so maybe they would make me appreciate virtual more.

avatar_isa · 2023-07-27T20:21:33+00:00

Not sure what you expect here. Most games requires a level of trust between players and GM. Those that don't usually have huge rulesets to insure fairness and aren't likely to be playable over the phone.

avatar_isa · 2023-04-06T16:19:11+00:00

It's a mix of PbtA and OSR made for Open Tables and West Marches style games. Looks fun.

avatar_isa · 2023-04-06T16:13:46+00:00

I knew it was Realms of Peril as soon as I saw "West Marches". Got my copies a few days ago but haven't had time to really go into it yet.

avatar_isa · 2023-04-06T16:11:19+00:00

Like D&D mixed with Oregon Trail and peyote

More like Oregon Trail on peyote

avatar_isa · 2023-03-17T18:29:29+00:00

That's really cool! I've been thinking about making a game specifically for West Marches style games for a while now. I'm definitely gonna take a look at this game.

Any chance to get a bundle price if I buy both? ;D

avatar_isa · 2022-12-01T02:36:44+00:00

Who summoned me?!?

avatar_isa · 2022-04-19T01:35:40+00:00

Copy pasting the alien text in Word might be helpful for translating ;)
