Hey anyone play Table tops around here, Pen and paper, War40k that sort of stuff?
I used to DM with a group of people in high school, we'd always play dungeons and dragons and stuff or whatever else we could get our hands on then we just kind of fell out.
now I run games on a virtual table top and Skype, its been pretty great so far.
What are your experiences with such pinnacles of gaming? (also Jenga counts! :P)
-
just a shitload of dominion. prob. the best designed game i've ever seen.
-
When I was I guess, 10, one of my friends had the Warhammer crap all set out and I think his dad was into it, also. I thought this was really cool and I went and made my mum who does not have much money spend £50 on a bunch of boards and cards and little statues I had to paint myself and I don't think ever really did. This friend also collected plushie toys after that, and I went to my mum and started pestering her for money to get them and they were expensive. So she'd had enough and she told my my friend was a spoiled loser and that was that. I don't remember what I did with the warhammer set. I remember guys went into the games workshop and spent all day there. I didn't know about them back then, the kind of people they were.
Well this isn't a very good post, and I'm not trying to rag on table top games in general or anything. This is just what I think of whenever I see warhammer mentoned.
-
I've never done Warhammer or D&D or anything that involved, but I do enjoy the hell out of some board games. Agricola, Warhammer: Chaos in the Old World, and the Game of Thrones board games are some of my favorites.
I've played Descent and a couple other "D&D lite" games which can be pretty fun. I really wanted to play Warhammer Quest with my group but that game is hella expensive since it's out of print.
I've never played a tabletop wargame unless you count Star Warriors, and another space combat game based on Babylon 5 I think.
Other shit I've played and liked: Troyes, Taluva, Race for the Galaxy, Nexus Ops, Puerto Rico, Imperial, Dominion, Last Night on Earth, Hansa Teutonica.
-
I've played in one rl session of D&D, but lately I've been playing a lot of D&D and pathfinder online(not the MMO) the last few years, actually starting with an IRC campaign here.
Other then that, I don't play much in the way of table top games, though I have been watching Table Top (http://tabletop.geekandsundry.com/) for a while now and there are more then a few games I wouldn't mind trying out for myself.
-
The only Warhammer-esque game I've got is Dust Tactics because it seems really simple and quick and fun unlike most miniatures games I've seen. Can't say much about it yet because I haven't played it but me and my friend are planning on doing that in the next few days. The theme of it is pretty neat, sorta an alternate universe WWII. It seems like the sort of game where you don't have to constantly buy shit to enjoy it either. The miniatures it came with seem pretty dang substantial.
I do play quite a few other board games tho. There's the usual Catan, Carcassonne, etc. but I also really REALLY like Wings of War. There's another WWII dogfight game that's totally card-based which I bought on the cheap that was pretty fun (once we ditched all of the advanced rules and kept it simple as possible) but I can never remember the name of it.

Dorothy, Sare, Toothache, Deadphoenix and I used to play D&D on IRC up until a couple of months back. It was groovy as fuck. I used to D&D like a huge portion of my time (lamer:<).
I used to play Warhammer Fantasy too. Every fucker and their aunt seems to like 40k if Warhammer ever comes up, why is no one down with the trad fantasy stuff?! ;_;!! I was an ORC AND GOBLINS man and had a 10,000 point army at one point :D​! They done changed all the rules and shit now though, so my shit is irrelevant ;_;.
If you're into D&D Bonifangith you should join us on irc.esper.net room: havern (with a hash in front, I dunno how ta make its on dis keyboard ;_;). Also room saltw for saltw general chat and shit.
But yes, especially if you like DMing, come to havern man! We had plans to play other non-D&D games too.
-
there's a finnish card game (that is now uncontinued unfortunately) that has one of the best game systems mechanic wise i have ever seen. shogun seems to be really fucking good mechanic-wise. Saboteur is really good/fun as both the social side and mechanic side is fun, Scotland Yard is probably the most intense game you are ever gonna play, it's the best...
catan is ok/not so good, carcassone is b-o-r-e, bang! is pretty funny/good game but kinda fails in parts mechanic-wise, ticket to ride is def better than catan but is assholish in nature (which is okay in my book and i think the game otherwise is good), uh... warhammer blood bowl was interesting/seemed to be good... there was that neverland/that fantasy games where you took control over lands that i can't remember that was ok and semi-fun.
... some interest in tabletop games, yes!!! actually they're tons better than any commercial pc or console game really.
-
the cool stuff about tabletop from my perspective is that you don't have a black-box computer handling all of the calculation and mechanical aspects of the game for you. the way i've seen raph koster describe it is that the processor becomes the player, the programming becomes the rule-book (or text of the cards), and the RAM becomes the gameboard or whatever the physical pieces of the game are.
that means that your rules have to make sense and be comprehensible to a human player. human players know exactly what is randomize and exactly what is skill based, so the problem that a lot of games have (hiding shallow gameplay behind spectacular graphics, or masking poorly designed mechanics with cheap stuff like rubber-banding AI opponents) is eliminated entirely. that's cool imo... definitely gets you psyched up about playing a fun, well designed game. aside from that there's nothing more social than actually looking at the other players face-to-face, cracking jokes, eating snacks.
-
Whoa I just ordered Dominion because it looked really cool. I don't have anybody to actually play with though so I'm just saving it for when I see my brother.
I also saw this game Quarriors that looks pretty cool. It's a similar "deck-building" game except you use dice instead of cards. It seems a little "simplistic" but looks fun, I kind of want to get it too. But I figure Dominion and all the expansions should last a good while.
Also ONLINE DOMINION!!: http://dominion.isotropic.org/
-
isotropic is getting shut down in a week or so, unfortunately, because i think they're releasing an official version or something
-
If you like Dominion, try Thunderstone. Very very similar, except it has more of a fantasy theme where you're slaying monsters and recruiting heroes and stuff. Also Ascension is very much in the same vein.
-
oh yeah, dominion! yeah i guess it's ok, though i don't remember any highlights/great stuff from those matches i've played with friends. you can sure maneuver a lot in it (and i'd imagine even moreso in expansions than in vanilla) but it's still pretty collection-focused.
also avoid knight of the camelot like it's plaque, jesus

yeah that's pretty spot on. it IS cool and at best i have seen flashes of possible systems, much more versatile and rewarding... well, it's not something easy to talk about but i think that a good system/mechanically good game can promote the social aspect of a tabletop game... i'm not sure, i haven't taken this thought to far but i noticed that games like setlers of catan tend to ultimately lead to players shutting down/becoming reserved and nervous and focused on their respective games (in live settings), whereas games like werewolf and modern society (the finnish game i was talking about) makes people more creative/more extrovert in regards to others... this is semi-bullshit but i'm sure there's some grain of truth there. i guess the social side IS related around the events of the game ofc but i'd still say that there's a world of difference between the games in when it comes to rewarding social experience, eg mutual recalled stories, going over battle plans/thoughts after or during game, the moments when other player(s) realize one's plan or one foil other person's move with an restrictive move etc. lol yeah this is just me anchoring on your seemingly belittling/minimizing comment on social aspect, groan. (like it's extra or what but nevermind this kamerad, i've understood...). it's still worlds more than in internet games even with all the technical prowess...
i guess the point is that there's a socially elevating (or vice-versa) side when it comes to designing an tabletop game! which along with good mechanics makes up a lot of the "rewarding" experience of the game, that's my thoughts about it. it kinda makes sense when you remember that european upper-class used games in social gatherings with the purpose to improve the party's quality etc...
EDIT now that you've brought this up... i really like tabletop games it seems... i've thought a lot about them. they're definitely pretty excelent way to spend time in social gatherings. just apply the "beer" rule on Bang! and you get the prize... (every time u consume beer in the game... you DRINK beer/alcohol in real life...! these astonishing dostoyevsky reality...!)
-
I think the most rewarding social experiences I've gotten from board games were playing Nightmare (the VHS game) because it's so goofy and fun and we're all scrambling around trying to beat a VHS tape at a game.
-
I tried playing settlers of catan with couchfiend when I visited him, but I got way too drunk (we all did) and don't remember anything about it. In fact I think I was "too drunk" before even my second turn.
It seemed like a fun game though, but when I think of it all I can think of is ghetto gin and tonics.

ahha it's not really compatible with alcohol like at all. u guys should had done Bang! with alcohol rule haha. *jumps outta chair, drops all pants* INDIANS!!! bwaahaha.... it kinda suprises me sometimes of what tabletop games gets notorious and what does not (like holy moly, catan is where you fuck up your game with the very first or at least at second move (which is placing towns) and sometimes road direction etc. i could imagine there's metagame guides in net... but it's not something i'd call fun/party-game or to play when drunk, imagine trying to do trading/trying to being the island's Donald Trump when Donald Drunk...)
-
I don't even know how it happened. They were originally going to play LoL but I didn't have a laptop nor do I play LoL so we settled on that. It was a fun time (I think, I don't remember anything) but I agree, it's not really a drinking game.
-
Yeah the only board games I've really enjoyed have been Monopoly (lol) and Catan. I generally prefer designing my own board game, but rarely find anyone willing to give it a try.
Same story with trading card/52-deck games. I only really enjoy playing Magic The Gathering and a regular 52 deck card game that I wrote the rules myself that I call "Gladiator" only which shockingly I've actually been able to get people to play.
I've kind of wanted to try risk but the colonial era theme bores me, so I'll probably play one of the non-basic risk games. Like that halo Risk game.
-
i liked playing risk on my phone where the AI's turns went by instantly but it feels like it'd be the longest most tedious game in real life
-
i've personally only played Munchkin, but i've been looking into d&d!
-
Risk is incredibly boring and too luck-dependent for my tastes. I like wargames, but only if they're mostly deterministic and only rely upon dice for some elements of combat (and not literally ALL COMBAT like risk.) The exception to this is Warhammer: Chaos in the Old world which uses dice for combat but is still one of my favorite games, primarily because there are so many routes to victory that don't involve combat at all, and even in combat there are ways to mitigate the random element. The Game of Thrones board game is really fun too because of its lack of reliance upon dice.
-
i'd still play metal gear solid risk
-
Haha this is awesome I really enjoy reading your posts.
I should probably get onto IRC sooner or later, I'd like to play in a game for once since I'm usually stuck Dming :P (Not that I really mind)
I don't have a lot of physical table top games, I got Donkey kong Jenga, an army of Tyranids and then my old 3.5 D&D books, and AD&D
Recently I've been DMing this http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Pokemon_Tabletop_Adventures It's pretty sweet I've been running the same group for almost a year now.
And don't think for a second they're just going around saving the world from Team rocket! they're in a post apocalyptic earth where humans are nearly extinct from a war they started and fought with Pokemon that ended up with the world being blasted back to the dark ages!
-
I'd be up for running a GURPS game on the forums OR IRC. (or maybe it would be most helpful to do a little of both, have a set time on IRC and be allowed to do "next combat turn" or non-combat oriented decisions occasionally when the IRC part is over on a forum topic)
I don't know what kind of game I'd run though other than that it'd probably have to be 'set' in a time (and any time really) AFTER the year 1900 ('decade' games, modern setting games or futuristic games) and I don't generally care for "High Fantasy" unless it really brakes the mold and I would be bored if I had to run one (or play in one).
As for themes I'm generally pretty open. Post the following IDeas on Glitch works awhile back:
-1920's gangster
-WW1 or WW2
-1950-60 cold war spys
-Vietnam
-90's Gangsta
Or even:
-Space Faring
-Deadly virus that kills 99-98% of the population
-Sci-Fi "Urban Decay"
-Silent Hill esque
-"Bully" style kid type game
-Artic explorers
-Mermaid/Mermen/Atlantian
-Totalitarian government dystopia
-Sci-Fi/Modern Horror
-Alien Invasion
-Western
-Cartoon
(Looking at that old post I see Vel's post and remember that she never started the Wrestling game or that if she did I missed it.)
-
i'd still play metal gear solid risk
what about megaman catan
because that exists
-
i knew metal gear solid risk existed, it looks pretty cool
megaman catan can't possibly be real however
-

-
apparently there is mormon catan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Settlers_of_Zarahemla (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Settlers_of_Zarahemla)
-
btw as much as i love catan i do agree with ramci that it doesn't really lend itself well to the sorts of social interactions that make board games fun. i think the mechanics of catan are really fun but it's kinda more fun playing digital versions of it where you wouldn't be having those interactions anyway
(Looking at that old post I see Vel's post and remember that she never started the Wrestling game or that if she did I missed it.)
i didn't because it was taking me forever to type up the rules and i kept putting it off. one day i will get around to it tho and we will play it because i still want to.
-
I've never played Catan
-
Catan is great for learning Craps odds, 100% serious. Craps is my favorite casino game hands down (Texas Hold'em aside) and Catan definitely helped give me an intuitive sense of how often dice rolls will come up. I mean obviously you can just CALCULATE it but that's different than actually throwing dice and getting a feel for how things work.

I always wanted to try that one out, but I'm not sure I could get people interested in it, and even if I could, I'd probably end up having to be the DM and I really don't think I could handle DMing two different games at once(or probably even the same game).
-
monopoly is shit even in mechanics avoid it like a plaque too. our game started like 7 pm and ended finally at the 5 am, with the 2 losers of the game ending up in semi-finals when the winners gave up and even after that it was like hell. in what game does this happen, i ask you dear reader, where. i beg of you. of i didn't disclose why it's bad but u havta trust this semiold tabledog on this one. its bad in mechanics and sours the milk and mood. fuck that game.
-
monopoly is one of the worst board games
-
i like trivial pursuit and cluedo
-
i really like clue, despite the fact it has so many bad mechanics in it (woops, rolled a 1, guess i don't get to do anything this turn... uh-oh, turns out my pawn in the killer, looks like i get dragged all over the board in the end game and effectively never get a turn)
-
clue is p. fun
there was a sequel to clue that is a VHS game that i bought at a thrift store but i haven't played it or watched the tape. i just...sorta have it sitting on my game shelf.
-
if you want a game that's really simple to learn and easy to just pick up and play check out the amazeing labyrinth, it's p. dang fun
-
look
you have have the american street names with monopoly, but it's called CLUEDO OKAY
how can you ignore the great pun on ludo
-
Fuck Cluedo. I played that like ONE time when I was younger. My father and his girlfriend at the time played with me, we set the game up, first opportunity she made a guess about who it was, got it totally right, we packed the game away.
They refused to play again.
My memories of Cluedo are filled with sadness...

Dude you are the exact kind of person we need in havern. Fucking join us, that POKELMON shit sounds amazing.
Also: do not worry, you won't be FORCED to DM or anything haha.

Dude, if you ran this game on IRC I think Dot would probably fucking marry you man. HAVERN IT UP BUDDY.
-
my mom said i learned how to read really young because i wanted to play clue with my brother and his friend and they wouldn't let me (tho they were just using "you can't read" as an excuse to not have to play with a little kiddo and they were really upset when they couldn't do that anymore)
-
also i wanna play pokemon rpg prolly
-

You talking about a specific one? You were really interested in playing 1920's movie-realism gangster game. If I'm going to run that I need to watch a bunch of mob movies to get myself in the mindset.
I would also have to figure out a good time to run the game and set up a topic for it.
Though really I'd like to get sort of a topic for different ideas and then a "ranked vote". Where everyone picks their top picks (which lets say the top vote gets a vote weight of 10, and the next in line gets 9, and then 8 etc) And tally them all up, meaning well get a pretty accurate idea of what people want to play.
Or I could just skip that and pick the 1920's one since that does sound like fun. Though technically, now that I think about it, I've only seen mobster movies or played mobster video games set 1930's or later so I'll need to watch some specifically set in the 20's as well to see if there was any differences. Unless you guys are interested in running like multiple era mobster games (Where like, as your characters age and die you plays as their son or daughter that enters the business or something)
1920's - The 'Roaring' start of the mobster family
1930's - depression era mob
1940's - WW2 era mob
1950's - Nuclear age/cold war age mob
1960's - Vietnam War and protest era/hippie era (IDK how one would mix these elements with mobsters)
1970's - War on Drugs (think Scarface)
1980's - Continuation of war on drugs mixed with corn
1990's - Gang Turf Wars
Kind of grasping at straws at the end for ideas though.
EDIT: for speeding up combat, I jotted down a list of possible combat actions a long time ago: https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1F92EPTc3YfvAgDW6Ev-ZDcVIrbO0Fsyj5IxJbwzX2dw

UPDATE:
We've been fucking around with a great application to use for gaming and currently Warped's planned session (although in early stages) is RIGHT ON TRACK!
So yeah, HOORAY!
-
my favorite board games are clue and candyland unless micro machines counts as a board game
I know my parents played board games with my sister and I when we were young, but I never heard of catan or like anything else mentioned here besides monopoly. I bought risk when I was like 9 but no one wanted to learn the rules and I was pretty happy just to make up battles myself
edit I also had a goosebumps board game
-
earlchip that is very sweet re: risk haha.
What did the goosebumps game involve?
I had a BREAD game and an ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES game lol. Classic BBC sitcoms.
-
I want to play Hat chat.
-
actually now I remember we had two goosebumps games, I can't remember how they were played but I found some pics. they were the cardboard and plastic pop-up style

have you guys heard of roll20 (http://roll20.net)? it's pretty much like a online game board that you can have in your browser.

LOL that's what I'm running my 1920s game on.

i'm showing up pretty late on this but i co-designed a rp system if that qualifies as "tabletop". https://sites.google.com/site/locusrpg/ the core rules are super short, and it's designed with extension/hacking in mind, but if anyone wants to playtest, i can help decypher the rules / provide modelling advice for different scenarios. initial readers had trouble with some bits of it (probably because when i wrote the first draft i was trying to be too succinct), but it seems to have worked for the people we've taught to play firsthand. atm we're playing a weekly fantasy game. it's been cool because we got to explore a lot of themes that don't usually pop up in fantasy games (so far: "colonialism & the cultural other", "heroism, power, and great-man history"). not that that has much to do with our system, but i tend to find fantasy really irksome so it's been a cool nerd thing to be able to enjoy it again. oh also online dice i hacked up in like ten minutes, it has some known interface defects though http://locus-roll.heroku.com/index.html. apparently our aussie playtesters have recorded a whole heap of audio of them playing (i think it's a lovecraftian horror game) so i'm gonna be going through that with some interest. i am now recording wounding/damage using something that looks a good bit like a vodoo doll of my character (i done sewed the other day it while i watched a doco about Bougainville independence).
that was pretty disorganised. what i am saying is need more playtesters, try my fuckin game system.
edit: also, Apocalypse World is the current in-thing with the indie RP people. some of you who haven't played a roleplaying game before might find it interesting. it's a fairly clean design, and has fairly well-written rules text compared to most rpgs / my writing. i am certainly much less opposed to it than i am to D&D.
general board games: i like abalone a lot. cascarone is fun. i don't like settlers b/c the randomness makes me twitchy and i don't like having to maintain good-faith play past the point i know i've lost.

cool! if you need advice about using or extending it, let me know. i am very interested to hear how it goes.

What I've been using for games online is maptools http://www.rptools.net/
Anyway Biggles your program looks interesting I think I'll play around with it

This is actually what I use as well. Decent system if you just use it for the basic stuff, potential for being amazing if you going deep into it though(though this can cause problems for people on slower computers if you go to far...).

Actually, you were saying you might join us. and I'm considering switching over to it from Roll20 because its seems faster and more versatile. I have to make sure the other players are OK with that though. Wouldn't have to worry about me going overboard with it computer resources. I'm running a Netbook right now since my desktop is fucked up. If anything I'll go to low.
