Hoi4 is stupid long with some mods
Flames of war os a tabletop game
I know
I’m just comparing
And it was a relatively small game
Only 200 points
I think I’ve played a 9 hour game straight and finished up 4ish hours the next day
Oof
albeit i was trying to take over the entirety of asia 🤔
Side bar: whats the difference between anti-woke and un-woke?
Unwoke is neutral and stay quite
Anti woke would be us
Am i somewhere in the ball park
I could buy it
lol
> @mathgrant Exalted ain't bad. It's more like RP'ing as an action anime character
@kriegor191 I'm told that Pathfinder has a kitsune race in it, and if I'm going to be playing an RPG, I'll be more more invested if I can be a fox instead of an orc or an elf or something.
I've run RPGs online and off for decades. If there was an interest, I'd be willing to give running one a shot.
The overall game focuses more on story telling than rolls. Rolls are important but the game rewards you for thinking through an action and having it A) Make sense and B) Being awesome
To be clear, I'm looking for recommendations of a tabletop gaming community that isn't woke, and that's devoted to tabletop gaming more broadly than a single game. I used to log all of my tabletop game plays on a website that ends in "eek", which is how any rational person should be responding to the Burn Loot Murder movement, but instead the admins of this site decided to be woke af, so I'm not interested anymore.
Are you looking for miniatures tabletop, or pen and paper style?
> I'm mostly into abstract strategy games (AbStrats), because they tend to have rules which are easier to learn and easier to teach to normies.
I'm actually the designer of three such games, but I don't know what the server's views on shameless self-promotion for things being sold on other websites is. They're not quite pencil-and-paper games (like Hangman), and they're not miniatures games.
Okay, that narrows it down.
I know of Roll20, which is a site for pen and paper and board games online.
I've never actually used them, but I've heard good things.
In any event, the website I used to use had pretty much every board game that ever existed, plus sister sites for tabletop RPG's and video games. As a database, it's pretty useful. As a place to log how often you've played each game you own, it's also useful. I just prefer not to give traffic to the site anymore because of the wokeness.
The last RPG I ran was on here, about five years ago. I just used my own server room, we all met up, had a good time.
I've used Tabletop Simulator in the past for playing virtual board games. It's sort of a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none thing. Most games, in my opinion, benefit from being played elsewhere if possible because other sites and programs can enforce the rules more, but for games unavailable elsewhere, it's the simplest way to make those games playable.
@mathgrant promoting something is fine
As long as you don't beg or try o force people
Okay, here's one of the games I've had published, by a small publisher in Spain: <https://www.nestorgames.com/#mammalath_detail>
This publisher specializes in portable games that fit into pencil cases or other small containers.
He showed it to me earlier
Looks pretty cool
Neat! No clue how that'd translate to online, though.
It's actually playable on the website Board Game Arena (at least, the base game is). I paid a programmer to do it.
One game I've gotten to play on Tabletop Simulator and have bought to hopefully play offline is Letter Jam: <https://czechgames.com/en/letter-jam/> It's a very thought-provoking word game where players can't see what letters they have, and have to give each other clues to help each other figure out their letters.
These sound like neat concepts. Other than advertising, though, I don't know how you could effectively promote them.
If you know the game Hanabi, it's like that game had a baby with a word game.
