I robbed and murdered my way to this pile of treasure fair and square, and trying to deprive me of it is morally wrong

So basically never exchange copper for silver. Stockpile and trade straight for gold. If going the other way around and starting with Gold, turn it into Silver first before Copper.

I've seen mentions of, though not actually watched, more than few "marathon gaming" sessions where a group tries to play a TRPG, usually D&D, for 24 hours straight or more. Have any of you ever been in something like that? Could you describe the experience? I can sort of understand marathoning a video game, especially a particularly open-ended or repetitive one, but I guess it sounds to me like unless you were doing something like the entire War of the Burning Sky adventure path in one long go or were relying heavily on random generation (and a heavy emphasis on combat dungeoneering for its own sake), that you'd run out of creative inspiration at some point.

gradenko_2000 posted:I've seen mentions of, though not actually watched, more than few "marathon gaming" sessions where a group tries to play a TRPG, usually D&D, for 24 hours straight or more. A couple of months ago some friends and I did a marathon gaming weekend where we played an entire levels 1 - 20 Spellbound Kingdoms campaign in one three-day weekend. We calculated that we did 28 hours of gaming over two and a half days. It was the best campaign I've ever been in, and one of the best gaming experiences of my life. We stayed in a cottage by ourselves, spend a couple of hundred pounds on food and booze for the weekend and home-cooked awesome meals, ate shitloads of snacks and drank merrily. The cottage had a bluetooth sound system for appropriate soundtracks and it was in the middle of nowhere so we could be as loud as we wanted. The fact that the GM sliced his fingertip off while cooking on day 3 and had to go to A&E didn't even stop us. We finished that campaign. I found that you get an awful lot more done in a single long go than you do with an equivalent amount of gaming time of once per week sessions. If you play for four hours once a week, the first half hour and last 20 minutes of each session I find that not a lot gets done because people need to warm up and get into it and then nobody wants to start something important just before the session ends. With a marathon session, you all get into it and stay in that immersed roleplaying zone all day. It's an intense and awesome experience. I did find that we suffered what a lot of my friends who do LARP report feeling, which is the post event crash. You've had such a good, intense roleplay experience for like 3 days solid and you emotionally crash for basically the next week, feeling a bit lost and sad. It's weird. Tenra Bansho Zero is explicitly designed to be played in this format so next year we're going to do the same thing and play that. Overall, would recommend.

I know there's a bunch of people doing 24-hour RPG or board game stuff for Extra Life, although that's a charity thing so I don't know if that's really the same situation.

Me and another GM both did two six hour sessions alternating. We had two concurrent stories that interacted with each other. This was pretty novel and great fun, also distributing the load of preparation was appreciated from both of us. It wasn't strait 24 consecutive hours, we streched it out over two days. I imagine staying awake that long is bad for concentration and sleep scedule.

Back when I lived in Michigan, my friends and I would start playing at about noon on saturday and finish around midnight, with a break in the middle to get dinner. You get so much more involved with longer sessions just by dint of having a smaller % of the session time involved with getting people sat down and mentally prepped. gnapo posted:I've done something like this recently as well over a weekend.

Now the wheels are turning and I'm thinking about doing something like finishing a whole adventure module in one go.

gradenko_2000 posted:So, Exploding Kittens: good or bad? I've played it. Setting anything about the art or whether you hate the guy who makes The Oatmeal aside or not, it's a game with virtually zero depth and no real replayability. The micro-light/party game market isn't really lacking in quality options so it doesn't really fill a niche in need of filling either. Somehow it isn't the single worst kitten-themed card game I've ever played though, unfortunately.

It's Russian roulette but with too many cards, unfunny art and not really any depth. I wouldn't advocate playing Russian roulette either.
