#tabletop
Today I played two #tabletop #boardgames I’ve never played before and loved them both: Mantis and Camel Up. Holy cow I love this and missed it so much the last couple years!
My DBD tabletop game arrived today... and the Ace miniature has FINGER GUNS.
YEEEEESSSSSS!

Je travail sur un nouveau process de moulage pour #deepchess, c'est pas encore au point et il va falloir que je fasse de nouveaux moules (et tire de nouveaux master). Mais j'ai trouvé une méthode pour incorporer sous-vide l'époxy dans du sable coloré (plutôt que de pré-mélangé le béton de résine).
Ça en jette plutôt \o/

Big ol collection of my current herd of clan hell’s horse’s painted mechs.
Need to more two more mech painted to have two stars ready to go. Idk why but just doing my simple take on this scheme is just fun as helll and I love how my skill at doing it has improved with each mech. Is real nice
Also the new book about the hells horses just drop and I’m super hype to start reading that soon.

On top of my previous post and article on D-Day and Operation Overlord in popular culture, here is my selection of three top wargames on the topic:
https://theboardgameschronicle.com/2022/06/05/my-top-3-d-day-themed-wargames/
The nominees for the 2023 Origins Award Nominees are out, and it’s especially dramatic as there’s been a two-year hiatus. The event runs from June 21st to 25th this year at the Greater Columbus Convention Center. https://buff.ly/3MS4q9M #tabletop
You like #boardgames? This is #Nemesis, an #sf game where the players awaken from hypersleep to find their ship taken over by alien creatures. They have to escape and complete their individual missions without dying (but most do anyway lol).

It's been a long time coming, but my first #pathfinder video is up! If you're new to #ttrpg stuff or coming from #dnd5e like I did, this is for you. #tabletopgaming #tabletop #Pathfinder2E #dungeonsanddragons #dnd #tutorial #newbie

Some alternatives:
Meetup, the most obvious choice. There are plenty #TTRPG groups:
https://www.meetup.com/topics/role-playing-games-rpgs/
#Tabletop Wizard, having plenty games to choose from & pretty easy to navigate:
https://www.rpgtablefinder.com/view-all-tables
I also found CRAWLR, which is too fresh to be judged:
https://crawlr.app/
DnD still dominates these, but there are plenty of other systems to choose from.
There used to be GameFor, but I just learned that it has been discontinued:

📚Been hitting the #Pathfinder2e books all weekend. Still a lot to learn after playing #DND5e for a long time. Anyone else trying #Pathfinder for the first time? How is the transition?📝

Dang.
My Dead By Daylight board game arrived this week, and copies of the Collectors Edition are going for more than triple what I paid on Ebay.
So I'm selling my CE and buying a standard copy for $45 instead. As long as I can play Ace, that's all that matters to me.
Bless all the game nerds out there with too much money and too much FOMO.
We salute you.

Is it so bad that I want a TTRPG to give me a page of "What this game is about?" Right up front?
If a game gives me its name (and it's not self-explanatory) and then spends its first chapter or ten on fiction, that's not helpful.
Save the fiction for elsewhere! Give me a quick rundown of what the game is about.
Time to start the weekend! This time with Time of Crisis (& expansion) and struggle for domination in Rome during turbulent 3rd century AD. This time my legions prevailed! For all willing to learn more about game please see my Review (https://theboardgameschronicle.com/2019/11/10/review-time-of-crisis-expansion/) and solo variant example (https://theboardgameschronicle.com/2019/09/10/eng-time-of-crisis-how-does-it-play-with-bots/).

Question for my #tabletop and #boardgame pals. When playing a game with miniatures, what style of terrain do you prefer? And why?

Conquest of Empire (see previous reports: https://theboardgameschronicle.com/2019/06/04/eng-back-to-classics-conquest-of-empire/) hit again the table of our wargaming group. It was close game, full of changing alliances, backstabbing and surprises, In this, Kuba prevailed!

Kevin Crawford writes awesome OSR games. He’s the reason I’m a full time TTRPG writer/producer today - I learned from one of his newsletters the basics of setting up a book and Kickstarter. Love his Sine Nomine imprint - here are some books from my collection. Do you have a fave?

hey! im pyr, and i'm a self-taught music composer with a focus on #cinematic and #scifi
i've been making music for a while now, but only started doing it semiprofessionally about 3 years ago! i have already done work for a couple animator friends, some #tabletop enthusiasts, and im currently doing soundtrack work for people in the #visualnovel space
late to mastodon, but due to a suspension scare on twitter, i plan to share more of my music here!
here's my demo reel as an #introduction

My home brew wargame rules needs the player to track how many hit points they have left and how many actions they have left. To help make sense of cluttered situations I made these little trays (dice colour here was just what was lying around).
This is exactly what I love about 3d printing, just needing a thing, designing a thing, having a thing.

Another week and another session with #Frosthaven This time one of our characters needed a helping hand in getting some soil samples (???). What can we do - we of course offered hime a helping hand! See how it went!
https://theboardgameschronicle.com/2023/05/28/frosthaven-scenario-69-sacred-soil/
Our game has had a wonderful reception, thank you all! Hope you're all enjoying it! You've made this filing cabinet very happy.

Last night I had a very spicy #KillTeam Into The Dark match against my local opponent. Slowly learning the synergies of the Imperial Breachers, and I have to say that the Into The Dark format is way more interesting, tense, and cinematic compared to Octarius. I ended up losing 7 - 11, but the moment-to-moment gameplay was really tense.

I'm all over the moon. The post arrived and with it, my Potluck deck is now a physical reality.
Potluck is a semi-universal deck designed by me that fits into a pocket and plays all sorts of amazing games – perfect for quick breaks at work, for making new friends when traveling and passing time when waiting for things.
I've written about it more in detail on my website: https://hamatti.org/tabletop/potluck/
ODD GOBS digital version is here!
It's a standalone, quick-playing TTRPG where you get to be goblins surviving the gig economy of a cyberpunk dystopia (and it's got a big, cool map)!
You can grab it at rollinkunz.itch.io - Physical version will be here soon! :D

Alright, going to try out Calckey, so here is my #introduction post!
I'm Steve, former game journalist (Game Informer, The Escapist, others), former game production and narrative person (Hacknet, Orwell, Screencheat, The Stillness of the Wind, others), now COO of an influencer and marketing agency in Tokyo.
I run an indie games publication with some friends called Pixels for Breakfast, so I often post about games and things I am writing on.
I am really into #tabletop games, I do a lot of #streetphotography, and I also am into #cycling.
If things are as nice as they seem over here, I will migrate my account across from the Mastodon instance I am currently at, and make this my new home!
Who me? Just a #Maker, IT Consultant and "all-around-#nerd".
I grew up watching Saturday morning cartoons, original #StarTrek re-runs, reading #Fantasy & #SciFi (not SyFy), lots of #Lego and eventually graduated to #RPG and #tabletop gaming.
My first computer was a #Commodore Vic-20 - at school, we learned graphical #LOGO on PETS and Apple IIe's... crashed the Unisys ICON network often before getting my first PC - grudgingly - really wanted an #Amiga.
Eventually, it was time for college - I *thought* I would be heavily involved in the physical aspects of technology, circuit design, and hardware engineering - instead, I gravitated to #programming.
My first professional #programming language was #VisualBasic 1.0; eventually, jumping into Borland #Delphi 1.0 and #ObjectPascal - still dabble with #FreePascal #Lazarus, a smidge of #Java, a lot of #CSharp and some #Python. My #JavaScript is ancient...

Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to announce that my free and open-source board game simulator, Tabletop Club, is now officially released! 🥳
You can download v0.1.0, a.k.a. "Humble Beginnings", right now 😱

This panel by @davidrevoy captures my ultimate #tabletop #RPG fantasy. I've had plenty of sessions online, but I would kill for a comfy weekend playing #PenAndPaper with a bunch of friends.
I don't care that I'm almost 31. I want this!

Played #Doomlings with the family tonight. It was pretty fun. #tabletop #cardgames
It's been another busy weekend... But we did finally get a chance to play "Wingspan" for the first time. It was a lot of fun! It's much less complicated than I thought it would be, too. We'll have to play this one again soon 😄
Here's an exciting Kickstarter for #puzzle fans:
Threads of Fate is a remastered version of PostCurious’ acclaimed debut game, The Tale of Ord, a narrative tabletop puzzle game.
I'm a big fan of their latest game The Emerald Flame, and never got to play The Tale of Ord before it went out of print, so I'm really looking forward to this one!

Today's update is pretty grim - I think this campaign will fail.
We're living through a nightmare scenario that is going to knock a lot of small indies out of the crowdfunding market. I do marketing for a living and I've got no fucking clue what to do about it.
So for the benefit of folks thinking of getting into indie publishing, as well as folks who follow publishing, I broke down why things are just real fucking difficult right now.

#Introduction: I do #Python and #SQL programming for Aledade, a healthcare #startup in #WashingtonDC. Mostly I work remotely from my home in #BowieMD, out in the DC suburbs. Most posts will be about #books and #reading, #tabletop #BoardGames, some #tech and news, and the occasional glimpse of daily life.
My #tabletop DM thought that frogs do not have bones. We learned this when he described a PC’s limbs as moving by “inflating water sacks, you know, like a spider”.
Confused, we asked him if this was something unique to the Grung in his universe, and he said no, didn’t you know frogs irl have no bones?
We had to show him a picture of a frog skeleton for him to believe us. #DND
Ok, these discussions prompted me to write the quickstart overview guide I wished I'd had when I started playing: https://fields.medium.com/how-to-play-radlands-c11de7f073b9
Folks, if you enjoy fast-paced tight decision matrix two-player #tabletop #boardgames and you haven't tried Radlands... you should try Radlands. There's a bit of a learning curve, but it's very easy to play once you learn some basics. Every game so far has been exciting, things take damage in a way that feels threatening, and it's got excellent game balance (hard to say who's going to win until close to the end).
