I just felt bad for putting only just one thing in there. v vI hope you like it, EM! I love the hell out of Cold City, but it's definitely one of those games that lives or dies based on the players, and the system is sort of just an excuse for a cool premise. Man, gently caress, forget finding a copy of Synnibarr 1E, finding a picture of the cover was entirely a stroke of luck.

Just about to head to work, and what do we have here? Secret Santa time! What could possibly be inside? Perhaps the tags are a hint...   Could it be...?  Reinforcements! Just what every Imperial pilot wants for Christmas. Thanks, SquadronROE!

My present arrived! I got a Kamen Rider Wizard action figure thing (box doesn't look like a figuarts, but it looks well articulated), some Kamen Rider tree ornaments, and a Gorisaki that apparently talks or something. Haven't unboxed anything yet, and pictures will be forthcoming when my phone isn't being dumb. It's nice to have some Kamen Rider merch to accompany my Sentai stuff! I've been trying to decide what Rider series to watch, and I'll let the Christmas ornaments decide! Thanks Santa!!

Honestly, if you're looking to spice things up a bit, I recommend doing an Imperial vs. Imperial game.

Ettin posted:My Santa made me look bad by sending their gift while I was still debating mine: So how did Hills & Sheep go? Finding recommendations for a good expansion not in BB4 was like trying to use the Board Game thread to find a good game - everyone hates everything, especially the thing you just decided would be best, but especially the thing you just switched to because of all the negativity on your first choice. The Board game thread seems to hate love letter too, but gently caress em, I know better

AnAnonymousIdiot posted:I have confirmed that a box from Amazon has arrived on my doorstep; I'm going to wait till Christmas before I open it. OK since you're a madman doing FOUR gift exchanges, and you're not opening your gifts till xmas, could you to email me some kind of identifying info from your package so that I can mark whose gifts have arrived, and also let your Secret Santa know? I'd appreciate that. Also can you let me know who is getting two packages? Obviously your santee doesn't know he or she is your santee, so he or she won't know to expect two packages... I'm addressing AAI here, but actually I mean all of you: I try to track who has sent things and who has received things and if you can make that possible for me I would deeply appreciate it. If you prefer to just send me something via email rather than post, that's perfectly fine. Generally what I want to track are status notes like bought/ordered/shipped/received/opened, and if there's multiple items, I'll have a note like received 1/2, shipped 2/2, etc. I track this for every santa-santee pairing.

Oh yeah! Also! We have eight goons in LIGHTNING BONUS ROUND 1, so I'm closing that round (and I've just sent out the emails). That means it's time for LIGHTNING BONUS ROUND TWO! You can read about the rules in this post. I'll leave this round open from today until either December 6th, or we have 8 participants, whichever happens first!

As soon as I saw print on demand RPG books were on your list I thought it was a fun choice. Curious to see what you think of it.

Tekopo posted:The Board game thread loves Love Letter, it's one of our favourite short games. I was browsing for suggestions a while back and found a few people who thought it was bad. I was browsing last week for suggestions and found Kemet, a game I thought was also universally loved, was getting pantsed too. It's the goon condition, in every suggestion and opinion thread everything is hated by enough people to form an opinion bloc.

Tekopo posted:Well there were loads of people loving and defending Kemet as well, and one guy arguing that it had a broken strategy. There are going to be a few people that dislike specific games but if you ask the thread if they like Love Letter or Kemet the majority of people will say yes, because they are both good games. My point was that I've found that thread to be confusing and ultimately unhelpful whenever I've needed an answer to the question "Is this game any good and Should I buy it?"

We ended up putting it off until our actual weekly game night in a few days (this was a birthday celebration and Carcassonne ended up squeezed in between Eldritch Horror and Cards Against Humanity), but I had the others look over it and things seem promising. One guy doesn't like the look of some of the new city tiles but it's probably not a deal breaker. Even if it doesn't get used I have other friends I game with so I should have a play report within a week!
