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: To celebrate the beginning of Spooky Season, let’s talk about another classic trope in genre fiction that we could re-create in our tabletop games: the Horde! Your small party of heroes has to go up against an overwhelming number of foes, and just have to survive. For a straight fantasy setting, it might be an entire goblin army. In sci-fi, it could be an insectoid alien species controlled by a hive mind. And, of course, in a horror-themed game it’s the classic horde of skeletons or zombies. What’s your favorite way to run a Horde encounter? And what game system seems to work best for simulating the Horde experience?

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!
