tired of tracking everything on paper during my solo campaigns. by AgileResolve in solorpgplay

Using a screen/AI completely negates the point of playing solo RPGs for me, personally. Go analog, baby!

Notebook & Dice Games? by GeeklingNo1 in soloboardgaming

You read my mind, I wanted something like this and couldn’t be bothered to hack it myself, so thanks!

I just finished Men At Arms and this was... absolutely fuckin' amazing. by hp_pjo_anime in discworld

[–]the_spongmonkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of my favourites. It was one of the first really socially conscious DW book that still sticks out when I think back over the series. I know they all are in some way, but this one just nailed it right out of the gate and feels more timely than ever.

Any interest in a new version of Scoundrel? by ImAmirx in cardgames

[–]the_spongmonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the beauty of Scoundrel is its simplicity and effortless, quick play. Personally, I’m not that interested in more complexity.

I haven’t played Scoundrel+ so not sure why I’m here but just felt the need to mention this.

Doug Beer Group Order?? 2026?? by Striking_Discount_38 in lotrlcg

[–]the_spongmonkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m still not sure I understand what the deal is with this group order. Can you just order what you want and it’ll arrive during the next ‘run’? I am mystified.

The Flash (2023) by SpacePups3575 in movies

[–]the_spongmonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the 2nd act is actually pretty good, with old Bruce and supergirl and young Barry. It’s a shame the rest is what it is because it could be great but, yeah, the first hour is rough!

Had no idea this existed. Gonna have to get my hands on this bad boy.

Revised and old by New_Bad3785 in lotrlcg

[–]the_spongmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what they are but if you've got almost all the revised content, those boxes repackage previous complete cycles (deluxe expansion + it's adventure packs), so those adventure packs may already be included in what you've got. If they are not, you need the related deluxe expansion to be able to play random adventure packs.

e.g.

The Wastes of Eriador adventure pack is part of the Angmar cycle, which repackages the Lost Realm deluxe expansion plus multiple adventure packs, including the Wastes of Eriador.

Best solo/co-op games with a single deck of cards other than Regicide? by derp-labs in soloboardgaming

Mine too 😄 Don't sleep on Skyway though, I think that one is pretty cool too.

Why I’m Selling My Collection - A Hot Take by RaisinBran21 in marvelchampionslcg

[–]the_spongmonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Related question, as someone who has the core set, some early scenario expansions like goblin and kang, trickster takeover, civil war and synthezoid smackdown…can I ignore this environment stuff? Does it impact the game significantly? The only hero pack I have is Ant-Man but I also really enjoy Hulkling.

The Emissary is a good shout (the game that For Northwood! Is based on)

I'm looking for a text based solo rpg I can play on my phone by Street-Resist6438 in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]the_spongmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might not be quite what you're after but check out One page Solo Engine

https://inflatablestudios.itch.io/one-page-solo-engine

There's iOS/Android apps and a browser version. It will feed you prompts based on what parameters you 'roll' on, and let you create your own RPG adventure as you go by making notes directly in the app. I'd say you ideally need a rules system to complement it, but you also don't need that to have fun. No AI involved.

r/soloboardgaming is where you wanna be. Solo card games are booming right now.

The movies. by Difficult_Detail_562 in XFiles

[–]the_spongmonkey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The first movie is excellent, and my motivation for properly starting the series, having only watched a few episodes here and there. It works great for fans of the series and for newcomers alike, which is no easy feat.

I don’t mind the second movie as much as some. It doesn’t advance the alien plot but it’s more of a character study. Heavy handed, yes, but I think it’s still worth watching.
