Welcome! And yeah, best of luck with us crazies craving for a beta key, as I'm pretty sure some would kill for one.
Welcome to the forums, and good choice on those board-games listed! I own both Settlers of Catan (basic plus 5-6 player expansion) and 7 Wonders (just the Leaders expansion currently but looking to order Cities shortly), and between a group of us in work, we own quite a collection of various board-games and regularly get together for board-gaming nights.
Thanks everyone! I've played too many PnP games to really remember all the ones I've gone through but I really enjoy Mutants and Masterminds and Dungeon World right now. I got to try Kobolds Ate My Baby last week and that was a blast as well! I have both expansions for 7 Wonders and they do add some great options to an already excellent game. I had to splurge for a laser-cut wooden version of Catan because of reasons as well I'm eyeing Spartacus right now as everyone seems to think it's the next big thing and I've recently gotten into Belfort as well. So, who should I be watching out for then?
Ahh good old PnP.... I posted my first death on the Facebook page. ( Mine was sinking a Pirate King's ship with the party on it, it was a good time ) For boardgames take a look at Battlestar Galactica if you haven't yet. Also if you liked the old arcade game Rampage take a look at King of Tokyo, its alot of fun!
I did look at the wooden-board version of Catan, at first, then picked myself back up off the floor when I saw the price! Much as I like board-games (especially Catan now I've played it a few times), I wasn't quite daring enough to splurge that much cash on a board-game I'd never played and had only seen one game preview-played on the TableTop web-show! And I can echo the reply above about Battlestar Galactica being an awesome board-game - as a Fantasy Flight game, you know it's going to be very well-made, nice thought behind the game, but pretty expensive. And you'll spend most of every game staring suspiciously at everyone else, wondering if they're a Cylon - it's a great game-mechanic for developing paranoia and making you suspect everyone else around the table!
I have alot of board games. Not as much as some people *coughTomVaselcough*, but among them are Runebound, Talisman, Ascension, Penny Arcade, DC Deck Building Game, Game of Thrones LCG, Tomb, Dungeon Runner, Cave Troll, A Touch of Evil, Elder Sign, D&D Ravenloft, and my newest aquisition, Mice and Mystics.
If you can judge a mod by his avatar, he will fit right in here. Although, one must question the wisdom of letting a crazy person run the asylum. I wish you a warm welcome Megadestructo!
Ah, board games... (takes a look at the shelf) Thud, Carcassonne, Pandemic, Agricola, Dominion, Runebound, Scrappers, Citadels, Tsuro, Galaxy Trucker, Doom, Race for the Galaxy, Robo Rally...
Welcome, And don't be scared. Not all of us are that crazy for a beta-key. You can just tell me what bankaccount I can deposit the bribe on.
Welcome! And since we're on board games, I recently got Summoner Wars which is a lot of fun! Also, MrMojo, how is Mice and Mystics? I'm looking at getting it when it is back in stock again.
