And I've never read #LotR (I know.... I know) but if I had I think I'd be getting even more out of it. It's inspired me to grab the Fellowship of the Ring and I'm really enjoying it. I think I assumed it would be a tougher read with antiquated language which is maybe why I was avoiding it.

I've only had the game for about 2 weeks but I know it's going to always be in the upper levels of my top 10 games because it ticks so many boxes for me. #FateOfTheFellowship #soloboardgaming

I piled all 6 characters into Mordor right at the end. I had some lucky shadow card draws just before the final search which meant there were only 2 Nazgul in Mordor and I'd banked loads of rings but they weren't needed thanks to Gollum's ability to roll 3 less dice.

Ironheart is one of my favourite heroes to play. I like the build for her - much better than Iron Man

I wish I'd played Jaws of the Lion first as it I think it would have made picking up Gloomhaven much easier. There's a bit more to it, but you've got all the basic concepts sorted now so it should be pretty straight forward.

I like the look of this but forcing people to give email, postal address and phone number, just to look at the promotional rules to help decide if we'd like to back is a bit shitty

I thought that was Tom Higgleston

If I’m on my own (not on a bus or on the sofa with my partner!) I quite often talk it out loud like I’m telling a story and make notes as I go

I used to write longer prose and even write down all rolls etc. Now I tend to jot down what’s happening and I keep a list of npcs and locations separately with numbers referencing the notes I’ve taken so I can easily find where/when I’m the story I met or visited things.

It looks beautiful and replaces my hacked together-mishmash pdf of all the bits of Ironsworn I've gathered over the last few years.

I can’t keep paying the price. The dice have to swing my way at some point, right? I mean the laws of averages do say that don’t they? I have rights god damn it

I say this all the time to non-board game folk who can't believe I'll spend $50 on a board game as they're used to mass produced Monopoly costing $10. The same folk who think nothing of spending that kind of money on a ticket for a sports match or a good meal out that lasts a couple of hours.

My exact first thought when I saw this story!

I had and loved this edition of Crossbows and Catapults. I 3d printed a version for my kids a few years back and it was so much fun to play again. Plus I was able to print a load of extra bricks so we could build huge fortresses

Yes it's amazing. I bought all the series up to Feet of Clay, when for some reason I drifted off (most likely as a late teen/early 20 yr old to read 'cooler' books) so I still only own less than half the discworld books. I know I am appreciating them so much more now then I did even back then.

A while ago I decided to re-read all my Pratchett books in order so I grabbed them all out of my parent's attic and started with Colour of Magic. I'm about to finish Wyrd Sisters and am having trouble working out why I bothered reading any other books for the past 30 odd years. #discworld

This is exactly what has always stopped me from going to a board game night, I struggle socially so it's a big deal for me to walk into a room of strangers and sit down at a table.

I love punching out pieces. It's like a ritual when I get a new game. Then I lay everything out as per the components page of the rules book. In fact, I enjoy all board game admin.
