Yeah, it looks almost too obviously AI to actually be AI.

Like nobody would generate that and think "yep, that'll fool everyone into thinkinh I actually made that"

So so bad.

Well yeah, at least that's relevant to the city.

Nobody will argue that Manchester Originals were a well loved traditional institution, but I rather liked the name and badge, didn't see why it had to change.

Yep.

I know that when I think of Manchester and cricket, the first thing that comes to mind is an elephant!

A city with such a rich history and the best they come up with is a bloody elephant!

Took over 6 and a half hours, but in the end, someone actually managed to pull themselves up to the power needed to defeat the final boss and actually won the have!

You can't say you don't get good value for a game of Talisman!

Talisman is objectively a bad game. Roll a dice, move to a space, fight a monster. Keep doing this until either A, you win, or B, everyone gets board and goes home many hours later.

However, despite being so bad I've never failed to have great fun playing it.

The most fun shit game in the world?

Bit of a learning game this afternoon with the fam.

Can confirm what everybody has been saying since 2022...Heat is very very good!!

Competitive but also fun. Simple rules but deep decisions. Fast paced and elegant.

I love it. Might even be played again tomorrow!

The art in these cards is simply delightful and packed with character.

Every card, illustrated by Roland MacDonald, is excellent.

I'm a particularly a fan of the German Platoon Sergeant. Despite being a Nazi, he's got a look of a man who knows his shit & has got all his ducks in a row.

One weekends work, and one single Deathwatch Space Marine complete. (well apart from the base, I'll do that once the squad is all fine finished)

9 more to go!

Me last week when building the Deathwatch Kill Team -"oh that bleeding heart shoulder pad looks cool, I wonder what Chapter it's from? I bet it's got a cool paint scheme. I'll have to do some research later"

Me now -"Fuck you me from last week"

Seriously people, find yourself a group and play some games this Christmas.

No matter what you play, it will be amazing!

If he had never joined us he would still think games were just Monopoly and Risk.

Arcs, Earthborne Rangers and Old King's Crown on my Christmas list. I can't wait to introduce those to him.

Just the art in The Old King's Crown ( theoldkingscrown.bsky.social) is going to blow him away.

But if you are new this world...wow, I'm actually jealous.

We have a new guy who joined our group this time last year and it's been an absolute pleasure to introduce him to so many gaming experiences. Each games night it's something new - Dune Imperium, Brass Birmingham, The Crewe, Flamme Rouge!!

It's very good but very difficult to find now unfortunately.

I think it probably should be played with 2 - 4. It's a little clunky solo, but still good fun.
