Stalingrad is tons of fun, adding legacy elements to its ongoing campaign. Game changing indeed!

Here it is, the most expensive game in the house. I expect it'll be worth it.

Great review. I find the best part of LHY is the timing and casualty scoring mechanism. The fire system is a bit too fiddly for me. I also left ASL behind in favour of an innovative small unit tactics system: Conflict of Heroes. I recommend it, especially 3rd ed. and the solo expansion

But seriously... Your table project is inspiring me to look at reno-ing the basement into a proper game space.

I like the old tech. This newfangled someone reading the book to me thing takes too long, and goes in one ear and out the other

My "collection" is under 50 games, and my wife thinks it's excessive.

I've gotta reno the basement into a game space. Can't leave stuff set up with my current environment, aka the dining room table.

I think games could work as investments to a degree, but few games increase in value, and managing your collection becomes your job. I'm never going to buy a game and leave it in shrink, or unpunched.

I learned early on as a GM to let players do the heavy lifting. I don't think I've tried to run a plot or tell a story since 1990.

I'm on the buy more games - eat less weight loss plan. My waistline shrinks inversely to the size of my game shelf(ves)

2023 had Blades in the Dark, Mothership, Band of Blades, Stars without Number, Spectaculars, Runequest...7?, Dungeon World, and The Burning Wheel. A good year.
