This game has been on my "To Be Played" list for too long! The Librarian's Apprentice by @almostbedtime.bsky.social is so good! An infinite library? Easy to learn mechanics? Weird combinations of words for prompts and details? GIVE ME ALL OF IT! Get this game and start exploring these endless halls!

Mining Media | Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Rene Plays Games @reneplaysgames.bsky.social · 15d

This was a tough one for a Mining Media, but I couldn't NOT talk about the amazing Expedition 33. It is an emotional, powerful game. And somehow I make it through the whole episode without mentioning Esquie once which is, admittedly, unforgivable, and I apologize.

I only backed for the book and I STILL debate getting the box set for everything else. Then I'd donate my 2nd book copy to my local library... 🤔 I probably should!

fozbaca @fozbaca.bsky.social · Sep 7

Between @reneplaysgames.bsky.social Koriko podcast play though and @thebadspot.bsky.social review I’m kicking myself for not purchasing the boxed set from A Room of One’s Own.

100th episode of the Rene Plays Games podcast, fitting to go back to #Colostle ! I played this in 2022 over on the @dmsafterdark.bsky.social feed, and with the recent release of The Dungeons, I decided now is the time to go back for more!

This was such an excellent session and I'm honored to be part of this amazing series. Co-op Ironsworn really is the best, highly recommend if you haven't tried it! Unshackle yourself from the need for a GM and feel that narrative freedom!

This game rules, I've run it co-op twice and both times the card draws and keywords make everything so flavorful and haunted. Highly recommend!
