Spirit island is basically my favorite game even though I own over 200 board games. I got to play it with a friend today. We played twice and won one of those two times.

I played kanban three players at LUKI brewery this Sunday. It's good, but I like every board game by Vital Lacerda. We also played cosmic encounters, but I feel like it needs more than three.

I like everdell silverfrost a lot more than everdell because with the frost mechanic, I really feel like I'm having to think hard about my moves to get anything done. But the little cardboard baskets that go on the mountain as worker spaces are so bad. I may get the wooden mountain.

Absolum is pretty gender fucky (complimentary)
Karl asking Brome “I hope I won’t hurt you with my question but… the first time we met, years ago… weren’t you a female?”Brome responding to Karl with “Very few outsiders can tell the difference, you really have a keen sense for this Karl… yes, I was.”In a different conversation, Cider says “If you want to get to know me, get me a drink! I can’t tell if I’m a woman or a man when I’m thinking straight.”Cider continues, “I used to change bits and pieces to have more control over it, but I was just trying to fit in.”

I've been working on my drawing and the loomis method faces lately. I've been drawing Tim Cain while doing this. All the zooming in and studying the guys face feels a bit person. Like... I'm sorry sir, I'm not a creep. I've just been measuring your nose position in zoom again and again.

Prepping for otherscape. I want a city map so everyone knows where they are. Last time the group used a location that isn't currently a city as a new city. I used probabletrain.itch.io/city-generator to build it. The world already has been hit by global warming so there was a lot of migration.
Old city map I built.

I played Spirit Island yesterday. It's still one of my favorite board games ever. Me and my wife already played it an obscene amount of times but it's good to have people over to play the game with us. If anyone who sees this ever gets the chance to play spirit island do it. One of the best games.

Someone I know from a previous job asked me to play in their Chronicles of darkness game the other night. It was fun. Everyone knows Chronicles of darkness was good. It's just a multipart Halloween adventure. The whole world of darkness is a good system choice for short Halloween adventures.

My Otherscape game didn't happen. I did a session 0 two weeks ago and other then my wife everyone was a new player that I found online. My normal friends drifted schedules since I ran a game. None of the others showed up. It was in my foundry server and discord and we waited half an hour. #TTRPG

So we finished playing in a six part mini campaign of Mythic Bastionland campaign yesterday. I played the Mock Knight and then the Hooded Knight. I can only speak from the players perspective. It was nice to explore around on a hex crawl and find things. The myths give a lot of good prompts. #TTRPG

My session zero for otherscape went well. We used the tables from the book to build the city, and there is a lot of mythoi happening in this city. The players picked new Appalachia for the name of a mega city in the what was state of New York post global warming. Everyone has two districts to name.

The expansions for earthborne rangers came in the mail today from team covenant. I'm pretty exited to be adding these to my game. I don't be able to play today though becuase I play in a mythic bastion campaign layer today. Stewards of the valley, moments on the path and legacy of the ancestors.

Sunday, I have my session zero for my biweekly Otherscpae campaign. This campaign will be my first time MCing (GMing) a mist engine game even though I've GMed and played plenty of games. I hope it goes well. Had a lot of stress this year and I hadn't GMed in a while, though.

I recently started playing earthborne rangers with my wife. I'm liking it's mixture of rpg and deck constructors similar to Arkham Horror, but with a more interesting world. I like how it handles ecosystem interactions. I bought the expansions now. My board game collection is a bit large.

Im prepping to run an :otherscape campaign on foundry. I hoped I'd get some cyberpunk art scenes to put up for flavor in scenes. So much AI trash out there these days makes it difficult. I'm the world's worst artist, but I'm not that low. I'd rather use my own bad attempts. #otherscape #fuckAI

@dungeonnewbs.guide Hi, I like your videos. I'm preparing to run otherscape and reading up on it, have you ever run one or played of the mist games (city of mist, otherscape, and now legends of the mist) and have any super brief thoughts on them?

Been playing arydia the paths we dare tread with my wife lately. We're really enjoying it. The combat isn't as tight as frosthaven, but the adventure exploration sections feel really nice, and the production gets a lot out of the adventure to run smooth when wandering and having events. #arydia

I've been playing everspace 2 lately. Now that it's done with patches and DLC. I often wait on a game for all the DLC to be done because, most likely, I'll only finish once, and I want it to be the best version. It's a good game. #everspare2 #dlc #everspace

I'm finally getting to rimworlds new expansion Odyssey. I love playing rimworld, and the new style of nomadic play is really changing it up. I have about 50 mods running, including subs hygiene, so I need toilets in my ship. It's great. Fun to try to make a smaller base. #rimworld #rimworldodyssey

I've been playing a lot of barony. Solo I got to hell. I love a good roguelike, but the people I know for multiplayer are mostly not fans, so I only played a bit of multi-player. I should look for players on the discord, but I bet they have more free time to finish than and I wouldn't keep up.

I finished Avowed. I really liked it. I enjoyed the combat and seeing more of the world. I liked how it rewarded exploration, and the dialog felt fine. However, the item leveling feels like a bad system. Character perks and stats were good, but the game would have been better without item levels.
