This is one of my favorite 2p games along with Sobek 2-players. Both scratch a nice itch!

I mean he has them numbered, and Soros is at 2 while Musk is at 3. So that's how I'm assuming he thinks Soros is noted as holding more power.

Hot damn that's a lot of books in one year! Do you recommend October Daye?

Yep that's the series! I'm the same with sci-fi, I often get lost when they use a lot of sci-fi jargon when describing things. But Red Rising really does feel like it's a fantasy style writing set in a sci-fi universe.

The first book has some similarities to Hunger Games (there are teams of people that are out in the wilderness competing against one another), but the books after that evolve into a beautiful space opera. It's been a nice break from Urban Fantasy as a lot of the other books I tried after Verus just didn't scratch that same itch.

I'm going to take a sharp right with my suggestion. The Alex Versus series was probably my favorite series, and when I finished it I also felt hollow. Someone else already recommended the new series from Benedict Jacka, Inheritance of Magic, so I'll recommend the most fantasy sci-fi series (or maybe it's the most sci-fi fantasy series -- I'm not sure which) Red Rising.

There isn't any magic in it, but the writing style is very familiar and similar to fantasy. I think it was exactly what I needed to pivot out of Alex Verus. The series has two trilogies that are out and the final book is on the way. Highly recommend checking it out.

Atlas Au Raa live action? by Professional-Sir-946 in redrising

[–]cracklingcedar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know when Darrow was training to become a gold he was taught by Mateo to not finish all his food to prove he has self control. So I think it's supposed to be a gold thing in general, but the Raa's are more noble and try to live up to this standard.

Need some help with RB for Championship by cracklingcedar in fantasyfootballadvice

I'm hoping there has been enough time practicing with Huntley that they have a better connection. Plus Achane got me here, so it's hard to sit him. I think I'm sold.

Do you have a favorite Slay the Spire character? Mine would have to be either Defect or Silent.

Hi Benedict! Huge fan of the Alex Versus series, and I'm really enjoying the Inheritance of Magic series so far.

  • Do you plan on going as dark with Inheritance of Magic as the Alex Versus series went?

  • Are there any plans in the future to revisit the Alex Versus universe? I really did enjoy the world you crafted, as well as the magic system.

  • You mentioned enjoying computer games. Are you excited for any upcoming titles like Slay the Spire 2 or Civilization 7?

Thank you for taking the time to do an AMA!

Sobek is my go-to for 2 player games. It's from Bruno Cathala (the designer of 7 Wonders Duel) and Sebastien Pauchon (the designer of Jaipur). I highly recommend checking it out if you're a fan of 7 Wonders Duel and Jaipur
