What should I add to my '90s website?
  • @ajsadauskas @linux Image maps? <marquee>? A digital view counter, or one of those gifs of a spinning odometer.
    A link that goes to a clip art digger saying 'under construction' in 90s office clip art.

  • The real DnD fantasy ... [[email protected]]
  • This hits too close to home.

    Hands up those who have more RPG sourcebooks than opportunities to play?

  • How To Play Backgammon
  • @rocket9 I was making a silly joke to clarify that the dice have the correct number of dots.

  • @rocket9 There many pips there? Like, between two and twelve pips most rolls?

  • Let's talk regrets! Specifically where games ended up too complex, too overloaded with gimmicks or too blinged out for your enjoyment
  • @Cargon Age of Steam is fantastic. Really highly recommended. Might have dislodged Brass Birmingham as my favorite game.
    Of the cubes, I'd recommend giving at least 2007's Chicago Express a try (also called Wabash Cannonball). It's extremely interactive between players, and I can teach it in about 10 minutes. It's on BGA now, but I know that doesn't work for everybody.
    If the interaction is what you're digging, I think you may dig it.

  • @Cargon @Carighan What do you think of cube rails games? Something like Chicago Express, or South African Rails?
