For today’s thread I want to talk about our table superstitions. Are there classes you won’t play because they’re “cursed”? Dice you won’t roll anymore because they’ve done you dirty too many times? Or maybe dice you save for special … Continue reading Tabletop Thread (4/5/23)

For today’s thread I wanted to talk about one of the most well known and widely played tabletop games out there, Catan. However, I’m finding myself a little at a loss because I have some long standing bad blood with Catan. I can understand the appeal, I can see playing it with people often but all the games I’ve played of Catan have been frustrating at best and friendship ending at worst, so I don’t think I can put a positive spin on it. Catan is a resource gathering game played on a hex board over multiple rounds. There are … Continue reading The Tabletop Thread (3/29/23)

Today for our optional topic I’d like to talk about tools. From both a game runner’s standpoint and a game players stand point we get a lot of use out of tools. I doubt anyone here has played a game of D&D without a character sheet in front of them to reference, whether it’s physical or digital. And as we get further and further into this new game renaissance more and more assistant tools are coming out on all sides. Things like DnDBeyond which helps you make a character sheet (some purchases may apply) and places like Roll20 where you … Continue reading Tabletop Thread (3/22/23)

Today I want to talk a bit about Ticket to Ride! Ticket to Ride is a game about trains and connecting cities on a map to achieve goals and score points. The game itself is fairly straight forward, you have cards that correspond to colored routes on the map that you have to pay to put your personal train line on those routes. Get the routes that match your goal cards to score points at the end and block other players also trying to achieve their goals. Other expansions and maps let you build trains in the United States and … Continue reading The Tabletop Thread (2/28/23)

Hi Tabletoppers, today I want to talk Character Creation. Vital to any TTRPG, making a character is usually one of the first steps in playing a new game. So how do you like to create? Random tables? Random archetypes? Taking … Continue reading The Tabletop Thread (2/22/23)
