[QUOTE="Dioltach, post: 8242075, member: 21843"] I'll recommend a couple of boardgames, which I feel are an underappreciated hobby among roleplayers. First, [URL='https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/167355/nemesis']Nemesis[/URL]. It's Aliens with the serial number filed off. A spaceship that's falling apart, hostile aliens and backstabbing crew members: it's all there. The first time I played, I died in round 3, but it was so much fun to watch the others try to survive. (None did.) [URL='https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/videos/review-nemesis/']Shut Up & Sit Down review here[/URL]. Second, something completely different: [URL='https://www.boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/223740/bargain-quest']Bargain Quest[/URL]. The town is under attack from goblins/bandits/trolls/a dragon/whatever. And here are the brave heroes to fight them! And you, lucky player, get to sell them their gear. If they survive, that's great. If not, you'll always have their nice shiny gold to remember them by - and there are always more heroes to send off into combat with lighter purses and gear that might or might not be useful.
