Have you discovered Blucifer yet? (Only works when you're driving to the airport, though, not if you're just passing through.)

Here's my latest passion project: RPG Lab (rpglab.io). Meant as a place where TTRPGs and supplements are made in public. Designers post their early projects, and players can follow along and shape the final product through playtests. Also a place for RPG design discussions.

Splendor Duel is great as well (or regular Splendor, but Duel is even better with 2 players). But our favorite is Dominion. Works great with 2 players.

Ran a fun dinosaur themed one-shot of Outgunned (combining Outgunned, Outgunned Adventure, and the Dino Storm Action Flick) at BSer Con this morning. Thought it went well! Will run it again at Genghis Con next month.

DigitalHobbit / Mirko @digitalhobbit.bsky.social · 11/01/2025
For me, the usability (making it easy to get the info I need) is a much bigger factor than the cost (having to get multiple books). But there might also be a difference in perception: one approach would classify your game as a generic system, the other as concrete systems that share core mechanics.
010
DigitalHobbit / Mirko @digitalhobbit.bsky.social · 11/01/2025
OGA/OG is a good counter-example we're both familiar with. OGA totally works, and I get why they chose that route. But there's probably 50% overlap between the books, and it takes effort to pick out the new rules (e.g. extended rolls), to use them with OG. Now I need 2 books at the table, not 1.

DigitalHobbit / Mirko @digitalhobbit.bsky.social · 11/01/2025
I strongly prefer having the core rules and setting separated. I think it's cleaner that way, and easier to pick out the setting-specific differences and rules additions. (But that might just be my software engineer brain speaking, which always tries hard to remove any duplicated information...)

Can I respond with a video? :) youtu.be/PCth5fxoTpU Unless it's a highly tactical game, I strongly prefer simple turn order systems, with no rolling or cards required. Side based (players go first in any order, as in EZD6), Popcorn, or alternating player/GM (as in Warlock!) are my favorites.
