Sadly it no longer is my field of work. Switched to IT when I couldnt find a job or phd in behavioural biology. Turned out I like IT quite a lot.
We have 1 more week of travel, visiting a rain forest at the east coast. Then back to Europe and to work.
Heey, I dont have any questions, but wanted to let you know that your posts often make me stop and appreciate nature. Your enthusiasm is a blessing and make this one of my favorite subs. Thanks for the work! Keep posting <3
Already I finished The Wicked + The Divine. It was such a good read. Couple of twists I didnt expect. The story is really captivating and well drawn. Still have a lot of questions, and cant wait to get some of them answered. Really recommend this one! Such a shame I only bought the first issue ;p
I will let you know! So far it sucked me in immediately
I am 2 days ahead of you, and it is great. Really love this series so far! Enjoy :D
We were on vacation for a while, so mostly played smaller games such as splitter, qwixx, agropolis.
Since we got back we started with Aeons end future and past, where we had a really cool play to win the game. Everything just came together perfectly. We also received our kickstarter for Borderlands, and played 1 game of it. Really enjoy the gameplay, they managed to capture the BL soul really well :D
Skip the movie! It is a horrible attempt to make it cooler. All of a sudden he is a prof football (soccer) player and they get many details wrong. It was a horrible watch for me :p
I dont know if this really fits what you are looking for, but we had a Dutch writer called Thea Beckman who wrote the book Crusade in jeans (kruistocht in spijkerbroek). No clue if it was translated, and if it isnt too teensy, but I liked it when I was younger. It is about a boy from our time being sent back to the medieval times, and how he had to deal with the crusade he found there.
Yeah it is one of those games that I wouldnt play without the expansion anymore. We really like the legendary dungeons, which adds quite some difficulty and allows for multi classes, which can create some cool and strong combos.
You might want to look at some laminated games with erasable pens. We really like Welcome To, and recently discovered Aquamarine as a 4 dollar game.
5 minute dungeon is a quicktime game that is coop, but was hard to get in Europe.
Picomino (regenwormen in Dutch) is a dice push your luck game that has a small footprint. I know you said no dice but still wanted to give the tip :p
Lastly you have walletgames such as Sprawlopolis (coop) which might be worth looking at, they are meant to be small.
I think the half tiles can add an extra dimension to the tile laying subgenre, but I dont think I will need another tile laying game :p Or it will have to do something extra apart from just adding the half tiles that we haven't seen before in (his) other games.
I am doing the Tedious challenge, collecting things from the collection log via its plugin. Current assignment is 5 uniques from Hard Clue scrolls, and my luck so far has been horrible. 2 times I got the clue scroll that needs a rune heraldic helm, which ironman can only get from hard clue scrolls... looking forward to it finishing.
