    So it might be a silly question, but for the parents who still play board games... how do you do it? We've got a kid (1 and a half) and is it just a matter of waiting for him to get older?

    When they are a bit older, then try Labyrinth. There are rules for kids and rules for adults.

    Got back into Kingdom Hearts (1) after about a year and a half away from it. I instantly remembered why I stopped playing. The Tarzan level is just not fun at all, but I finished it finally.

    Kingdom Hearts 1 is so clunky compared to the rest, and Tarzan's world sucks. Glad it never returned.

  3. There's the epilogue that was unlocked a few days after it was out that you can see after the regular ending plays. For the secret ending you need to get the Lucky Emblems. All if on Beginner, less than that if on another mode. Don't know exact numbers.

     

    If you do the Battlegates, you get Secret Reports that add to the lore, like the previous ones. These are all written by different people though

    So Kingdom Hearts is just straight up nonsense isn't it? :lol:

     

    Yes, especially with the epilogue and secret ending. Has been a fun playthrough though, now to get all the Secret Reports to see what the set up for Kingdom Hearts 4 and beyond is

    Spoiler

    especially with the girl that Saix and Axel mention who has never been bought up before. Maybe Ava or Sterelitzia? Also would have been nice to see Luxord and co. wield Keyblades. Maybe next game.

     

  5. I'm looking to run Storm King's Thunder for my group next month, have the books and have been going over chapter 1 and 2 a lot as I don't think they will get much further than that. Anyone else run this book before, or have any advice on dealing with Giants in 5e?

    I've been looking at Boss Monster as an option for a while, how does it actually play?

    I have had it and the 5 player expansion a few months but only really played it twice. Takes a bit of time to explain but once you get going it's good, lots of trying to screw over other players.

    What is it you like most about the games you like/have?

    The nerdy-ness of Boss Monster is lovely. The others all have easy to learn game play but as mentioned about Betrayal, end up being different each time. Also why I enjoyed Tsuro, making a map etc. and Alahambra which I forgot to add to my want list. 

  8. So I decided to back my first ever Kickstarter for One Week Ultimate Werewolf last week. I won’t get it until November but having played One Night Ultimate Werewolf & the vampire version too I’m excited to see how a longer game goes. 

    I wanted to share my list of games I have/want and see if any of you had recommendations. 

    • One Night Ultimate Werewolf
    • Boss Monster
    • Sushi Go
    • Labyrinth
    • Cards Against Humanity

    On my list to get

    • Tsuro
    • Colt Express
    • Betrayal at House on the Hill
    • Arkham Horror
    • Ticket to Ride (this is not a priority as I suck at it but it’s a fun game)
    • Formula D
  9. I've been running a D&D game for a little while, just thought I would share a few moments that have happened and see if any of you can think of any improvements I can make. This may be a little lengthy.

    Party: Human Paladin, Dwarf Fighter, Tiefling Wizard. Playing 4E

    The players started off stumbling upon a town called Melford (they decided their backstory was that they got blackout drunk and this was the next town they found) whereupon they got pretty settled and then a murder occurred and they were recruited to deal with finding the culprit. This would have been SUPER easy, had they checked the murdered guys room. No, they went around a backwards ass way, chased a supernatural person down and nearly got themselves killed a bunch of times. After finally convicting the murderer, they inherited a bee shop and became beekeepers for a short while. They also cleared a whole nest of spiders and battled with some zombies in a creepy building within this town.

    Feeling their time at the town was up, I sent a plot device in the form of a letter to a former NPC turned PC guard the others had collected for a new player who was just used a meatshield for hire previously. The letter beckoned them to Fallcrest through the swampy marshland, where they spotted the supernatural person from before. A players arm was torn out by the wildlife in the swamp, then they found a new arm (Vecna's Hand) and used this as a replacement. The person they were chasing was consumed by a living wall. From another living wall, the group freed a few Kobolds.

    One of the Kobolds claimed to be of nobility, after a 20 roll to attempt some diplomacy and my players have started to factor peace talks between Kobolds and other races. The players believed his story and were led to Kobold Hall Mansion, which belonged to the Lord Kobold. He tasked them with clearing it as it had become filled with cultists in his absence. They found the dragon, and murdered it using Vecna's Hand, but this also triggered something that started flooding the place, so they hastily left.

    Upon reaching Fallcrest, they then went to see one of the player's family, which was where the letter came from and found his house to be enchanted. They went to seek out the ghost of the family members wife, who had been spotted. They climbed a rickety tower, which was set on fire, flung sharks around and generally fucked the place up. They erased some ritual circles, freeing the ghost's spirit and lifting some enchantments. The tower mysteriously reconstructed itself after collapsing in to the river.

    Upon returning to the main town, they were jumped upon by thugs, who ripped out Vecna's Hand/Arm from the player with it. Later, this was replaced with a normal arm by the Kobold Lord, when he rushed to their aid at a battle against a zombie dragon (being the same one from the Mansion, zombified).

    Now they've had to head back off to the Mansion and the floor crumbled beneath them, submerging them in deep water. Fortunately they had a water breathing spell. They've battled a few things, but the most interesting thing was when I threw a Gelatinous Cube in there. It stunned and attempted to dissolve a new player, Tiefling Rogue. Things looked pretty bad, then the Tiefling Wizard pulled off an amazing feat, with a natural 20 of reaching in with his staff, rescuing the player and blasting it back and almost killing it. They've seen some odd messages, which will lead them to one of the Vecna cult leaders and they'll get a better idea about what's going on in the campaign.

    tl;dr Lots of stuff happened in D&D

  10. I've been trying to get the hang of this whole IV breeding thing in Pokémon Y. I've managed to breed a few Eevee for the upcoming online thing with 5 perfect IVs, so I'll see how they go and if I can do the EV training needed too.

  11. I've finally gotten around to getting a Wii U, and have to say Mario Kart 8 is pretty great. The only thing about the whole "anti-grav" tracks is you don't really notice it, your wheels change but you may as well still be on the ground. Liking the off-TV play on it though.

    Only had the good fortune to get the blue shell destroying item once, but used it to do just that. Also downloaded Monster Hunter as my free game, so that's pretty good.

    Also, in 3DS Land, managed to send off a child from The War Doctor & Nikki (from Swapnote/Letter Box, had a QR code in an old Nintendo mag) and their child was as ugly as sin.

  12. I think a lot of people won't understand what happened tonight...but here's what i've gathered.

    Jacob's brother, the man in black, is 100% dead. He died once he entered that light. But by going into that light, he released the smoke monster, which was trapped there. The smoke monster then used MIB's form this whole time while trying to find his loophole to get Jacob killed. Smokey's motive is to get off the island to infect the world, or kill the world...something of that nature. Smokey just can't do it until the candidates are gone.

    Finding out who Adam and Eve were was a great revelation also, always thought it'd be Rose and Bernard.

    I thought that too, or The Monster is at least part of "The Source" being death, as it's always seen as a dark smoke. Locke's seen another thing as a brilliant white light (as he told Mr. Eko he saw it as before) , which might be it's opposite (life or rebirth), released by Jacob at some point from The Source.

    In support of this, there's been Christian appearing as we've seen him in black shoes when he's been The Monster, and then he's appeared in different attire, in white shoes when he's been off-island which The Monster is apparently unable to do.

    I'm still thinking there's more than one "entity" on The Island, but with only three and a half hours left to explain all the big stuff maybe not.

  13. Have started to play Final Fantasy IV again and have been suprised by a few things, like Cid and Yang dying in such quick succession, then not really being dead. The stupid difficulty of Demon Wall on the DS version compared to the other versions and only just managed to defeat it after leaving Slowing it and setting everyone to auto-battle with Rydia on Leviathan and everyone else attacking.

    Now I'm inside the Giant of Babil, and am about to fight the Archfiends again.

    IV has certainly dragged in some areas, but overall it's been enjoyable. I guess I'm getting pretty close to the end of it now.

  14. So, this feels like they know where they're actually doing this season. Like Sylar being in Matt's mind and using his ability against him, though I'm a little disappointed that Molly wasn't mentioned when he thought the house had been used for something else. Little annoyed that Danko died, but I guess he served his purpose. Hiro dying and attempting to correct the wrongs in his life certainly makes for an interesting story. Samuel certainly seems cool. Could really do with a Bennet dying though, Claire or Noah, your pick.
