@zapleaf I don't think there's currently a term for it, but in the interest of inclusivity and not "othering" with the term "normal," there probably should be. I'll put forth "#TTMPRPG" (Tabletop Multi Player RPG) as an idea.

(Equivalently, "MPTTRPG" but I like the cadence of the first one better.)

(/me considers suggesting "Party Game" just to see how many of my fellow strategy #boardgamers' heads I can get to explode... 😏)

Why keep games you don't love?

In this Ask The Bellhop segment I share fifteen board games (and one RPG) that I keep in my collection for the sake of others, and explain what makes me keep each of them.

Morning Mastodonians!

Looking forward getting to #PaxEast today with @adrienne ! Any of my fellow Masto #boardgamers #boardgames geeks going to be there today? Not planning on doing much, just wandering around gawking, maybe pick up a new set of dice, maybe a used game or two. Might go to a panel. There's a "Build Your Own Text Adventure" clinic at the end of the day we might go to. And I might just let it drop that I used to work at #Infocom, as that's probably a group that would know it.

WOO HOO! Thanks to Gregory L. for purchasing 2 of our new Meeple Pattern Shower Curtains!

I've really been enjoying playing the Tea Dragon Society card game. It's a very fun deck-building game, it's simple to learn but doesn't get boring even after multiple plays, and the art work is so cute. #BoardGames #BoardGame #BoardGamers #CardGame #CardGames

Due to an increasingly tight budget this year I am desperately trying not to buy anymore games so I can save and splurge at UK Games Expo, but it is not easy 😅

@elucidarian Sorry they didn’t like it. What did they say?

Just to help brainstorm:

IP burnout, bad IP games, theme tacked on, mechanical similarities to other games are common for #boardgamers.

If they play another #MCU game they may not want another.

This game has a low complexity rating on #bgg. #Manascrew is as much luck as many #MTG players can take.

My instruction needs to offset my experience. The closest I’ve ever come to divorce was teaching my wife how to play #TwilightStruggle.

I finally own a variant of Ticket to Ride (Europe), bought at Xmas and enjoyed over a month of family being over from South Africa. Gonna look forward to introducing more people to this game cc @iamkleach

#boardgames #boardgamers Would you rather play a giant, human sized version of your favourite game, OR be shrunk down to the same size of the games components for the duration of the game?

#Boardgamers!

It's funny how our field has quite a few contentious #language differences.

Do you care about, or notice, or find especially funny any of the following issues? (Looking for "the most notable" #vocabulary #dispute).

Details or other contenders appreciated in reply!

Coming to the realization that I may never actually get to use this amazing filming studio I built before we sell this house and move.

All I can hope is to build something just as cool in the next place, and finally bring y'all the videos I've been aiming to make for quite a long time.

I was looking at getting this for Christmas. I don't have enough friends for the regular werewolf version, so was interested in this plus the short playing time is appealing.

Anyone have any opinions on this game? Also, I wasn't going to buy it in English if I find it cheaper in another language, which I assume is not a deal breaker as instructions can be found online plus there's the app.

This game is criminally underrated!!! Just my opinion ofc 😎😏 #boardgames #boardgamers
