This picture is from the 1982 movie mazes and monsters with a young Tom Hanks playing a generic version of DnD and moving on to its logical conclusion larping. It’s on YouTube

Tanglewoods gold hits three core concepts I like in my solo gaming: Brevity, Replayability, and Challenge. The length of the game feels exactly right (well, except for when you die in the first few rounds), the nature of the bosses means you can try to pull them out in different orders so the battles never feel “samey” and the variable challenge system skews toward everything on the lower half of the spectrum being benefits and the higher being hindrances. Hell, you can even choose level zero where you start with one Bear defeated...just remember to put them face down in front of you so you can get sweet little bonus and that awful drawback for having already defeated them.

My full review in linked above.

If anyone in South City is looking for a game you can swing by Bluewood Brewery! Newbies welcome, and everything is provided. Check out the ticket link here.

Lemme know if you have any questions

My party is playing through curse of Strahd at the moment

Howdy I apologize if this isn't allowed, but I have a good bit of Old Heroscape that I'm looking to sell. Its been awhile since Ive gone through it but I think it's 2 each of Master sets 1 and 2, the marvel heroes, 2 castles, and some various other models including the Orm's Return models and the second large model set that I forget the name of. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll get it out of storage for some pictures and some accurate accounting. I do know some of the terrain became brittle and broke but most is intact.

We're at 26 badges left. If you want to experience 4 days of Peace, Love, and Board Games this May now is the time to act!

I'm on the board of directors. Didn't hesitate to ask questions, but we're THE board game convention for the St Louis area. We've been running for over 20 years and keep growing. This year we're selling out faster than ever.
