I feel you bundley pain. I have: favourites, check in future/ early access, completed, currently paying, deck games, escape rooms, games for my wife to try, horror, humble games to try, local multiplayer, multiplayer, new need to try, played kinda sucked, puzzle, RPG, RTS, shooter, sofa games, VR games.
New need to try is for the humble bundle games I’m actually interested in and the humble games to try is for the ones which are just extras.
Yeah this is the best idea. It sounds like they are allergic to the washing powder used previously so diluting that should help. It’s probably worth doing a rinse cycle on the machine too depending how much you’ve put through it already just to get rid of any residue from whatever you’re reacting to. Just make sure it’s skin only and your breathing is still ok.
Less temptation and more gave in already. I got myself the ultimate edition of stalker 2. The first ones were some of my all time favourite games and I’m so glad the sequel got made I felt like they deserved my money. Have to say I’m very happy with my purchase and I look forward to the dlc in the future. The atmosphere is great and the gameplay is fun. I strongly recommend it.
The general measures of things like this are: is it causing a negative effect on you or others?
In a similar vein to pooping some people do every day, some twice or more, some a couple times per week. There’s a range of normal. If it’s not bothering you or anyone else it’s probably fine. (Though see your Dr if you only poop once a week, something’s weird there).
Damn I never read that one before. That’s dark.
Buy micro to c converter and leave it plugged into the headset. Then you can keep the headset and charge it with whatever you got to hand.
Stanley payable is worth a play if you missed it when it came out. Pretty entertaining for a walking sim. Good sense of humour. Seeing as I played it a year or so ago though I’m decidedly not impressed with this month’s offerings.
Humans have a really good digestive tract for getting nutrients out of food. So you take a lot of the mass of the food you eat and use it in your body as energy or building material. As such your poop has significantly smaller mass because it’s made up of all the stuff you’re body can’t use after it’s pulled out so the good bits.
As for dogs my understanding is they have a shorter digestive tract to allow them to eat the nasty stuff does seem to like without getting sick so they are probably less efficient at removing nutrients and poop more proportionally to what they eat.
It’s basically just the south of France so kinda doable.
I really enjoyed my play through. It’s a genuinely beautiful game.
That’s good to hear. I got to play some of the prologue yesterday and hearing the PDA boop in the intro took me right back. I’m looking forward to being immersed in that atmosphere again.
I was waiting for stalker 2. Super psyched to play it this weekend. The first 3 are some of my all time favourite games.
Have you tried fallout London?
My wife and I stayed with her parents for Christmas this year. We had a lovely day with them and her granddad. Her mum made an excellent Christmas dinner.
Of those included it’s designed to be the first module you play and it’s definitely the easiest to just pick up and play.
I’d love to hear how your game goes.
It’s traditionally a massive meal in the UK. Good could of days worth of calories.
Like green beans. Not baked.
The UK has turkey with all the trimmings. Roast potatoes, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding (oven cooked pancake mix), roast parsnips, carrots, Brussel sprouts, beans, pigs in blankets (sausage wrapped in bacon). Usually served with gravy and cranberry sauce.
My favourite is usually stuffing or pigs in blankets. Turkey is usually just worse chicken and roast potatoes need to be just right.
Ooo blades is my favourite game system. It was my longest running campaign and we actually finished it. They ended up accidentally summoning a demon which burned half the city before containing it and using that to threaten the government into giving the poor more rights.
I’ve got a few waiting in the wings to play at some point. The main one I want to try is the Wildsea. I’ve got to finish Spire and possibly Heart before moving into a new system first though. Depending on how many demons my players end up summoning the spire game could end quite quickly.
I love a horror game.
First having a system designed for horror will really help you to build tension. As someone else said D&D etc are bad for horror because you’re supposed to be powerful, it can work but takes more effort.
Next you need player buy in, everyone needs to want to be a little scared or uncomfortable. You’re also very unlikely to get horror movie levels of scared and trigger that fight or flight response as you’re all sat round a table playing games together.
Having a good session zero for horror is especially important, to make sure you do it safely, have your lines and veils or your X card available and discuss your boundaries. Some people will be fine with body horror but can’t manage anything with children or whatever.
Pacing is key to horror, leave the monster in the dark as long as possible, let the players imagine it and what is going on before you show them with a description. Give them downtime to decompress after a particularly tense moment. Let them make jokes but don’t join in during the tense bits, join in during the chill out section.
If your looking for recommendations: Trail of Cthulhu (gumshoe) was great. I ran a SCP style game, just picked a monster and had the PCs try and work out what was happening.
Delta Green is a really easy system to intro new people to, it’s d100 roll under and you’re playing X-files so people have a strong base to work from. Has some great modules to get you started.
Mothership is wonderful and my current obsession. It’s also d100 roll under and it’s basically Alien/s in terms of the setting but you could easily fit in whatever you wanted sci-fi wise. The modules that come with the box set are brilliant.
It’s easy to inject horror into most settings, my party were really light hearted and jokey in Blades in the dark but I had a few sessions where an automaton was hunting them which they found genuinely scary.
Honourable mention the Fate horror toolkit mostly for the GM advice.
Happy to give thoughts on anything horror related if you’ve got more questions.
