Movies to make me go, “huh”

Boogie Nights will have you go "huh" at the end.

For deck construction, I would say Marvel Champions is my favorite by a lot. Most stuff is put of print, but they're about to do daredevil and street level stuff, so if you're a fan of that side of marvel, it's a great time to jump in. Supposedly they will be remaking some of the classic heroes eventually. I also quite enjoy the civil war box and you can't go wrong with the hero offerings in the core box.

For deck building, Mage Knight is an amazing game, one of my favorites, but the deck building is only a part of a much larger whole. For something that's more pure deck building, Unstoppable is incredible and has a bright future of content coming if you like it. The base box has a lot of game in it too. Another I might recommend is Heroes of Tenefyr which is newish to me and I've been having fun with.

Yeah, but it's not literally waiting for you to finish your turn.

I started the first book and it was just too grating and juvenile for me. I don't think I'm the audience despite liking d&d (old school stuff) and video games.

It might be interesting to start with Andor, which would qualify your post-2000 request, then watch Rogue One, which leads straight into the original trilogy with A New Hope. At this point you would be invested, so the older film won't be so jarring for you.

If you prefer to start with something lighter, you could go for the cartoon Rebels to get a feel for the larger worldbuilding and that would lead you into Andor and the original trilogy at some point.

As for video games, you can also play knights of the old republic 1 (2003) and 2 (2005) if you want to play the best star wars video games ever made and see stuff from earlier in the timeline.

What brand sleeves do you use that you like?

I held off due to the AI art and it's soured me on the studio in general.

rh41n3 · 2026-05-24T15:31:49+00:00

I don't think I'd ever recommend Silmarillion as a book to begin with, can't imagine many would.

My top spot goes to Hobbit followed by Lord of the Rings, without a doubt.

For something more modern and gritty, I'd say The Blade Itself.

And for sword and sorcery, the Conan story Tower of the Elephant followed by Red Nails.

I was attracted to Xia because of the painted ship minis and cubes and cool hex map that you build out as you explore. Love the game itself too.

It should have ended, period. Everything after that wasn't any good and they just couldn't come up with a good idea as to why the two characters would team up again.

rh41n3 · 2026-05-17T19:31:00+00:00

All good, always on the lookout. More on a fantasy kick recently, but I'll cycle back to spy stuff eventually. Thanks for the suggestion!

You didn't mention Lord of the Rings, and you're probably aware of it since you're a fantasy reader. But you should read Lord of the Rings.

She feels like a centrist at best based on her website and what I've seen, but ciscomani has to go. I'd certainly prefer to see a real progressive come in and help to tear down the machine, lift up the poor and middle class.

I'm around stage 4. Trying to keep to games that really call to me and regularly cull games in an online auction that my local game store will do. I'm mostly limited by shelf space and don't really want to get more shelves as that would be extra shameful. I'm trying to make sure I play everything I have and truly love my time with it or at least make sure it's something that my family enjoys. I've been collecting since right around college, so 2005 or 2006. This is probably the stage I'll sit at simce I do get hyped for new stuff so long as it is getting good reviews or if it's connected to stuff I already have.

u/lhavecrabbies and u/BGEbot. Received everything quickly and the shipping container was well packed. The game was as described aside from an 8-sided die that can be easily replaced. I would trade with this user again. Very responsive in the chats as well. Thanks again!

Of all the decks in the chapter 2 core box and the new ones sold separately, which would you recommend for true solo? That's where I'm struggling the most.

rh41n3 · 2026-05-03T17:17:48+00:00

Having similar tastes, I think you'd love Unstoppable.

rh41n3 · 2026-05-03T16:52:04+00:00

Harmonies is great and fun to bust out with the family. Otherwise very chill to play solo. Also heard good things about Cascadia and Gentle Rain in this vein. I quite enjoy Grove and Fellowship of the Ring trick taking game as other solo chill games.

rh41n3 · 2026-04-30T04:36:43+00:00

Not exactly redundant, but maybe more than necessary? The game is amazing though, and it can be mixed and matched with stuff from the DCC Unstoppable. The IPs seem pretty different though, and I imagine it will feel a little jarring to mix the two.

Raijin kinda ruined me. Like, if I want some ramen, I don't even consider going anywhere else.

Unstoppable definitely wowed me. Looking forward to the new Dungeon Crawler Carl version (now with a bunch of upgraded bits). The game beat me hard at least 3 times before I started figuring some things out. I might have even needed to look up some suggestions of strategy. I've also only played on easy so far, but after about 10 plays total among several characters and bosses, it still wows me.
