See ya soon!

I’ll give ya a big one Saturday

Want a hug?

Interesting. I would of thought it would be opposite. “it’s nerdy to play D&D” so it’s SUPER nerdy to play games besides it. And those are more extremes intense games

It’s not a perfect solution (cause we’ve play already play TTRPGs) but we just need to run more games for each other. Cause basically every game you’ve listed I also want to run or play.

Now you’ve really truly made it!

Currently at 148. Really should use this just a bit to get to my next decoration purchase….

Okay. I think in that case something talking about how either you pull from non-tabletop to inspire mechanics. Or focusing on mechanics and what from a genre they are trying to emulate? Something talking about how to turn genre tropes into mechanics and examples would be interesting for me.

Is your intent/goal just do this for a bit? Or hopefully find a format/topic that enables you to keep going theoretically indefinitely?

Only way to go is up.

Fair enough. I’ll look through my back catalog and see if I can come up with other suggestions

Okay. We can discuss more in person. But some recommendations:
Yakuza Series - Japanese soap opera beatemup w/ good balance of humor and drama.
Expedition 33- recently came out. Turn based. Heavy story (imo)
Blue Prince: puzzle game w/ ambient story
Horizon: Fight robot Dino’s and good story (imo)

Also define “fun” cause even more so than story that is super subjective.

Also what are your requirements for “meaningful story”

Are you asking because you didn’t like Last of Us or your having trouble finding more beyond it?

I have decided to put the game down. I got 4 of the sanctum doors open. But I was starting to get frustrated with other puzzles and ruined it for myself by looking stuff up. But I really enjoyed all my time with it!

Learned a lot from it actually, I had no idea what Jason meant by clues from the lab at first. I had already done a lot so thankfully the stuff you two discussed pointed me in some new directions.
