Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mannahnin" data-source="post: 9744945" data-attributes="member: 7026594">Battletech I've played again fairly recently.  One of my closest gaming buddies bought into the most recent release, and we've tried both it and Alpha Strike out, so I expect it'll see the table again before too long.Same with Blood Bowl. Still an excellent game.I bought deep into Car Wars and played that into the 90s, but it hasn't seen the table in forever.  I have played simpler successor games at conventions, though.I picked up the HeroQuest reboot when it was crowdfunded, but haven't assembled a good group for it.  Most of the people I would play it with would be more interested in actual D&D, or Shadowdark or whatever OSR game I feel like running.Every once in a while I break out GW's original 80s <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/714/talisman" target="_blank">Talisman </a>(much sweeter art than later versions) or <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/472/dungeonquest" target="_blank">DungeonQuest </a>as a casual beer & pretzels game with friends.Two from the 80s which my older D&D buddies and I occasionally play are <a href="https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/699566/why-don-t-you-own-this-game-and-don-t-give-me-any" target="_blank">Dragonmaster </a>and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_Builder_(board_game)" target="_blank">Empire Builder</a>.  Excellent.  I haven't played in forever but I occasionally hear updates from Ben Peal, who is an old Boston goth scene friend.I still have a set I bought at a convention in ~1991, but I've never managed to successfully play.  A while back I dug into the tutorials online, introducing how to play via the simpler characters, etc, but the complexity still seemed excessive.  It's on my bucket list, though, in part because the components are so cool.  SOME day I'll put in the effort!</blockquote>
