What were the best and worst games you played in 2023? - Lemmy.World
The title of this post [https://infosec.pub/post/5975961] made me think about
the best and worst I’ve played this year.
The best: - The Case of the Golden Idol. Short and sweet mystery game in the
vein of Return of the Obra Dinn. Not quite as good IMO but I still liked it. -
Marvel’s Midnight Suns. Don’t let the IP fool you, this is a really solid turn
based strategy game with some occasionally really solid writing. The “dating
sim”/downtime parts were surprisingly fun at best and dragged down the pacing at
worst. - Death’s Door. Really cool, minimalistic, take on a Zelda-like game.
Similar to Tunic in a lot of ways. Funny, cute and probably the best game about
death I’ve ever played. - Moving Out. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as much
while playing a game as I did with Moving Out. It will always hold a special
place in my heart for allowing me to connect and laugh virtually with people I
love but don’t get to see very often. Generally I mostly play games a while
after release, when I know how they panned out. As such there aren’t many real
stinkers I can think of (plenty of games that I found overrated though). With
that said, here are my worst: - Doki Doki Literature Club. With the way this
game is set up it’s all about the twist. The problem is that the game it
pretends to be until it reveals itself is incredibly boring. Maybe it would have
helped if I wasn’t aware of the twist but generally I found this game to be a
slog. - Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion. Games that rely heavily on humor are
always hit or miss. Unfortunately it wasn’t for me in this one and the actual
gameplay is incredibly barebones. Thanks for reading! What are your lists?
Holiday themed one-shots? - Lemmy.World
I’m looking to run a holiday/winter themed one-shot for a couple people in my
board game group. Anyone have any suggestions? The system should be something
easy to pick up and play without much prior knowledge (something like lasers and
feelings for example). D&D 5E is also ok as long as the adventure doesn’t lean
too heavily into it (personally not a fan of RAW 5E and would want to run it
very rules light). The setting doesn’t have to be overtly holiday themed or
cutesy, just vaguely winter and/or holiday themed. Some Krampus-related shit
could be fun for example.

I am not a 40k guy but I really liked this video. It shows Scott taking a more
creative approach to his army’s models and color scheme.

for an example. I realize that they are likely mostly done by hand but I quite
miss them. They were some of my favorite features on that subreddit. I suppose a
script could be written to automate at least parts of it. What do you think?
How would you go about running a game in Arcane’s Piltover?

show (first few episodes mainly). > > I’m not big on the sort “oppressive,
endless darkness/ever encroaching void” vibe of the default Blades setting. But
while watching Arcane I can see how well it could mesh with the system. > >
Thing is, I’ve never actually run a Blades game before. Mostly listened to
podcasts, read some of the book and played a session of Scum & Villainy. > > How
easy is it to tweak the “vibe” of the default setting? Reading through the book
is not doing much to inspire me, but I like the system a lot and think I could
get into the setting if I could just make it more of my own. > > Should be noted
that I’m not looking to play in the world of Arcane verbatim. It’s just a
touchstone.
