Welcome back to the weekly Tabletop Games thread! This thread is where we can talk about all kinds of RPGs, card games, board games, etc. Whether you gather around a physical table in the real world, or use a virtual space to play with friends who may live far away from you, this is where you can discuss your favorites, ask for and/or receive recommendations, recap your recent adventures, or even find some people to play games with!

Discussion Prompt: Dungeons and Dragons is often described as having “three pillars of play”: combat, social encounters, and exploration. Of the three, exploration is the most broad–it has to cover everything from overland travel through the wilderness, to finding traps and hidden passages in dungeons, to solving puzzles and opening doors. Arguably, exploration is also where D&D 5e struggles the most as a game system. If you were running a campaign that focused on the exploration pillar, how would you go about it? And what TTRPGs (regardless of genre) might be better suited to a heavily exploration-focused story?

If you would like to suggest a prompt or contribute a write-up or discussion topic of your own, let me know in the comments!
