Tabletop games
« on: March 26, 2014, 04:39:53 AM »
In such a computerized age, it seems that a lot of tabletop games have fallen by the wayside in favor of video games and the internet. Don't get me wrong; I love both of those very much. XD But I still think it's fun to play tabletop games with friends.


Do you play them as well? Which ones?


I'm a big fan of D&D, and I've played various forms of poker pretty much since I could walk—Five-card draw, Texas Hold 'em, etc. More recently, I've gotten into Mahjong thanks to my big sis.

I play Mahjong. I was lucky enough to pick up an old set in singapore, and its one of my most treasured possesions. Plus I like to play chess as well














(I know, boring old people games  XP )

Nice! I forgot to mention that I grew up playing a lot of chess and checkers. I've fallen quite out of practice in both, though. >w>

Hmm I used to play a ton of roleplaying games such as AD&D, Gurps, World of Darkness, and Shadowrun though I haven't gotten the opportunity to for quite awhile sadly. I also used to play various bored games such as Mansions of Madness, Go, and Risk to name a few though again haven't done so in awhile.  @.@

I play monopoly a lot usually with my family on weekends :P. I don't know if that counts though x3.

Outside on a winter's night as the rain begins to fall
There's a chill in the air and the howl of a wolf while the rain beats at the door
Seven kings will ride on the wind up towards        the mountains high                             
And the only sound that will break the air is the warrior's bitter cry

-Starfire by Dragonforce.

For those who know me I'm still kicking around here, enjoying life. For those who don't know me I do invite you to get to know me if you'd like :3.

(I didn't know where to put this)
Are there any other fans of HeroClix?
It is a fun collectible miniature game, featuring; Marvel, DC, Lord of the rings, Dark Horse, Gears of war, and a handful of other things.
(Rocket Raccoon, and Howard the Duck are furry so this topic kind of applies)

A lot of my friends host board game evenings, where we play some of the more modern board games, such as The Resistance, Elder Sign, Pandemic, etc.
I think there's a lot more attention and focus on these kind of games thanks to things such as pod casts and web-shows doing play throughs and reviews of them - Table Top with Wil Wheaton and Felicia Day (Mmmm, Felicia Day...) is an especially well-known and popular one. So many people follow it that a lot of the games they review/play sell out almost as soon as they're shown.
I also play a lot of card games that are similar - Munchkin, Fluxx, Gloom, Chrononauts etc.


As well as those, I regularly meet up with friends for tabletop RP sessions - our group clocks in at around 8 regular players.
