Well said… Thanks for spelling it out!

The Malazan book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson would be my recommendation. Start from Gardens of the Moon and go ahead… It keeps getting better and better!

How much I do love those fonts. That proper spacing and balancing… It will always a place in my heart and I fear the day that I will fail to recognize it!

Same for me. I have been reading Linus (Torvalds) posts since decades and it really seemed out of character to me. I even clicked on the link but I admit that I haven’t yet understood what is going on. I have decided that it’s not for me…

So long, and thanks.

What is an “Analogue pocket” for those of us … Out of the loop?

There is an optional Ocr pass, from what I understand

One wonders how they market their services : “come to us, we are the best fake reviewers you can find on the web and these 5-star reviews prove it!”

I understand. Just keep in mind that you don’t need to “do the voices” or to treat it like an “improv theatre”, a perfectly fine way to play is to refer to your character in third person: “so and so knocks quietly on the door and asks “is anybody in there?” Before kicking the door open with a roaring laughter”… And another player could sigh in first person, rolling her eyes: “oh no! Not again!”.

As for knowing what to do, that’s the job of the GM, to set up interesting scenes for the table!

Another good alternative and somewhat similar in spirit to Heroquest would be massive darkness. There is a 2nd ed which should be quite good, I have only played the first edition and it was good fun!

The movie was quite fun! And it gave a good idea of a fun rpg session, but I prefer other game systems rather than DnD to have that kind of feeling!

Have you ever thought about trying ttrpgs?

Thanks, I still have to get the hang of this “federation” of servers-thing. I found this beehaw community and the philosophy seemed welcoming and inclusive and so I went for this! I will check out the one that you linked above. Thanks!

I so agree with you! Been playing RPGs for decades now …!

Hi! This is my first post here so I hope I don’t make some mistakes. If you like Heroquest you could look at other dungeon crawlers, like the dungeons and dragons boardgames (my favourite is “waterdeep: the dungeon of the mad mage”), or my beloved Star wars: imperial assault or Lord of the rings: Journeys in the Middle earth. If you want to expand to other genres, since you like AH you could try Arkham horror: living card game. Absolute masterpiece.

The latest addiction to my game library is Earthborne rangers and is quite a refreshing take.

I hope that some of these resonate with you!
