Imagine that your friendly local game store has a sale and you see a great deal on a game by one of your favorite designers. You know nothing about the game besides the designer’s name and that it’s a decent price. You are in a hurry, no time to research, buy it now or miss out....
Since my polymorph meme has only garnered three downvotes so far I thought I’d offer a bit more controversial take, and see if I can manage to stir the pot a bit with this one.
RAI you definitely would not be able to target yourself. The spell description starts with: “The touch of your shadow-wreathed hand can siphon force from others to heal your wounds.” Technically this sentence is flavor only, but in this case it clearly reveals the intention of the designers.
RAW your meme still works, but I would restrict the spell to target only creatures other than yourself for the reason above. Only if the player has a really cool way to describe how to siphon your own life force and somehow convert it into more life force for yourself, I might allow it…
As a non-American I’m not familiar with any of these things. That dude looks kinda familiar though, wasn’t he one of the Beatles? The one that got shot? Bring him back please!
A level 1-10 adventure with a ‘bump to lvl 17’? What does that mean? Instantly levelling from 10 to 17, skipping an entire tier? That just sounds silly.
But Frosthaven is a close second. It just has it all: puzzly gameplay, tight mechanics, unlockable content, entertaining story elements, crafting and building, character progression. The thing is, I feel like for a game to fill the “perfect game” criteria for me, I have to be able to always play it with any group. Frosthaven just isn’t that kind of game, because it’s a campaign.
Terraforming Mars on the other hand, as long as your group is 5 people or smaller, you can always play it.
I’m a specialist. I played a decent amount of different games, enough to know what I like. My collection is small, around 30 games, ranging from Boonanza to Frosthaven. I have a game for every occasion and I really like them ALL. I buy a new game every year or so and every couple of years I do a ‘clean up’ and sell a few game that I’ve lost interest in.
I must admit: I keep a few games that I should part with, but I just can’t do it (Catan, Monopoly).
Well, it’s refined to my taste, but yeah. And it’s not that I started building my collection 30 years ago XD The ‘one game a year’ thing is going on for 5 years or so. There was a period I bought and was given many games a year.
I’ll do a first time ever collection post on social media per your request when I get home. Should be fun :D
I have a food joke, but it's of bad taste. (lemmy.zip)
