I played in VR, which was rad, but it's also available non-vr for Switch & PC. It's one of those games (and stories) that has stuck with me long past finishing the game. The visuals of the terrain rise up out of the table is wild and honestly the bird is maybe one of my top 10 fav GMs of all times 😂

There is a caption on the screen that says "The guards clearly know Paka well" Screencapture from Table of Tales. There is a clockwork bird perched on top of building terrain, looking down onto miniatures in a village square setting. There is a caption that says "The remaining villagers are horrified."

Do you add boardgames to these lists? Root and Everdell seem like great fits and are both in the DB as board games. As a bonus they both have great digital versions as well

Everdell even has a big tree that stands in the middle of the table! :)

I've had a Switch 2 for less than 48 hours. Calibration doesn't have any effect.

10/10 outperforms OG Switch for joystick drift, a high bar!

Anything I can do here?

Hey @geekdadgamer.bsky.social I think this would be a great game to add to www.familygamingdatabase.com

Conducting an investigation back & forth between two characters & using the interrogation/ "condradict!" mechanic to solve the mystery is super fun!

First Impressions: Ad Fundum

Dig, mine, return, sell, repair & refuel, oogle upgrade$, repeat. I *dig* it 😂, BUT feels like I'm just fighting the controls? (keyboard & controller). Every other move is into nearby dirt. I quit after 5 involuntary downward descents to my death in a row.

Thoughts?
