/tg/ General thread

What are the best alternative mechanic to hit points?

Fuck mods and fuck /tg/.

Oldfags, tell us tales of old. Before Virt was a thing, that old.

I've gotten my mom into some pretty great /tg/, but we're getting a little tired of our current rotation.

Anyone have any suggestions for games that are in the same vein of:

Smashup
Love Letter
Zombicide (classic)
The Lord of the Rings LCG
X-Wing miniatures

She's not crazy about wargames but I want to see if I can change that


Anyone else out there get their folks in on the gaming? I'd be curious to know.

My dad was the one that originally got me into traditional gaming, originally through games like Baldur's Gate but then actual table top. He still plays with some buddies of his from work. We've both tried to get my mum into it, but she usually just gets distracted.

Does anyone play Microscope? I've played it with my mates a few times but we usually go off on tangents and forget the rules.

Well I will tell you a little /tg/ history

The "PROMOTIONS!" meme actually originated from a lewd thread right here on our very board, which for those that were around then might not be surprised to hear; but interestingly enough the blackguy wasn't the original image associated with it.

I wish I still kept it after all these years, but it was actually a white guy hold a box with his belonging cleared out

>the more you know

>>49276737
The original story was about getting fired for browsing NSFW shit, and in latter post someone came to tell that he got promoted.
That's my recollection of it anyway.

that's awesome, thanks for sharing

As a matter of fact, it was my Mom that is responsible for introducing me to boardgaming, and at a very young age too. We started with the classics from her youth, but then when she noticed a spark within me, she bought STRATEGO and we both learned how to play together. That was my first entry into strategy games, and now I'm absolutely hooked.

Very first game I ever played though was pic related, and boy do I miss it.


Incidentally, my Dad isn't crazy about boardgaming. He would play on family bg night, but didn't continue after me and Mom started getting hardcore.

Pools from cypher system.

>>49276731
That sounds great.

>>49276764
yes, that's right

the first image was of a man in a cream colored shirt with a defeated look on his face, lugging around a filing box with papers and coffee mug poking out.

I should know, because I was the guy who was reprimanded for browsing that day
Little known fact, the boss was my Mom.

I miss all the drawfriends...

/qst/ needs to die.

>>49276934

You mean the containment board needs to die, or questfags need to die?

>>49276934
Yeah it's a low traffic board.

There's no reason for it to be around.

>>49276949
The board.

Both

>>49276962
then we disagree

Why exactly do you want to be on /tg/ and not there? If someone specifically wants a quest, they know precisely where to find you.

Now when someone wants to talk about a game or have lore discussion, they don't have to scroll past a wall of threads that don't at all pertain to their interest.

please explain, I don't Em und Em

> it's a low traffic board because everyone posts quests to /tg/, stealing the traffic it would have.

Look, the mod definitely is in the wrong here for springing it on us out of nowhere. A week's notice would have been nice. Still, I think /qst/ itself is a good concept that needed to happen. I mean, I'm pretty sure we Don't need three different Bleach quests on the first page at all times, no matter how good each quest may be.

>>49277107
>out of nowhere.

Were you simply not paying attention the first time /qst/ was opened and then the four other stickies pertaining to it since then?

COULD they have notified you in a different way? Yes, there's alternative methods. But they're not in the wrong for making a judgement call after the community had ample time to deliberate on the matter.

Is there enough interest to merit a Fleet Scale miniatures thread?

I want to discuss me some Full Thrust, FSA, ACTA, DFC... All those things. Ive also been trying to stat out the Homeworld 2 Hiigaran ships for Full Thrust (Vaygr welcome, too), which seems pretty straightforward but is kind of killer on the filler and detail, especially when it comes to mass restrictions.

>>49276618
/qst/ was a mistake and must die
