Grundsätzlich gut, nur... wie viele mehr hätten es sein können, wenn die FDP nicht immer wieder den anderen Kindern im Sandkasten ihre Schäufelchen und Eimerchen wegnehmen würde?

Wobei die Realität sich schon immer mehr so anfühlt, wie Terraforming Mars mit der Crisis Erweiterung zu spielen.
I'll be honest, I was a bit nervous when you compared your game to D&D and Shadowrun. Both have famously bad mechanics that shoot themselves in the foot compared to what the absolutely marvelous worldbuilding can do and are only the staples they are because they've been there decades ago...
But from a quick perusal this looks rather promising. I would love to commit some of my time to this project and its community but will have to see whether I can manage to free up some first. So, no promises at this point I'm afraid.
I really love the way you approach this, not as a commercial product but as hopeful community building. Can't give you enough kudos for this! :)
Ah neat, good to hear. I don't think we're in a rush and I rather they do things properly and sustainably rather than "as ASAP as possible" really.
But wouldn't hurt to see an update every now and then in kbinMeta, the way they used to show up.
I had been wondering as well. I have been using the app with an alt account since 0.1.7 but never joined the Discord so no news.
Then again it seems like the /kbin API is still in testing as I never saw an update on that front either.
Could also just be a summer slouch as everone is on vacation perhaps? Certainly hope interest in /kbin and Artemis hasn't faded.
So, Gloomhaven and Betrayal at the House on the Hill (D&D edition). It baffles me that they didn't mention the actual D&D board games and instead listed two TTRPG systems plus the trashy campaign module for one of them.
Then again, people who are into D&D often really only are into D&D and not willing to branch out very far so that tracks.
Kind of surprised at Gloomhaven being suggested because it has a dungeon crawl theme over a good Euro hand-management engine and most D&Ders are probably scratching their heads at that.
The Isofarian Guard is amazing if you happen to be up for a story-heavy campaign game to play either solo or with another person. I got the first printing and am exstatic, that they only charge 39€ for the new content and previous backers get all of the updated materials bundled in for free. That is exactly how you turn me into a loyal customer.
On the other hand, Board Game Tycoon decided that everything outside of the US no longer exists, so I can't even buy the Everdell-related stuff I'd like because it simply isn't available in the EU at all. That is how you spit into a (formerly loyal) customer's face.

Understandable, have a nice day.
Niemand ist überrascht. Die Jungsbande im Baumhaus versteht sich schließlich.
Was soll Bayern denn auch machen, was anderes als die CSU und ihre Steigbügelhalter wählen? Als ob.
As serious as only caring about the economy can be, I suppose.
Auch wenn das bei mir schon mehrere Jahrzehnte her ist... aber ich habe auch damals schon nie den Sinn hinter der Veranstaltung erkannt.
Als jemand, der in seiner Jugend Leichtathletik auf Wettkampfniveau betrieben hat, gab es nie auch nur den Hauch von einer individuellen Herauforderung. Und gleichzeitig habe ich aber immer gesehen, wie ca. die Hälfte der Teilnehmenden einfach jede Sekunde davon gehasst hat und mich für sie zusätzlich schlecht gefühlt.
Im Grunde war es nur eine weitere Bühne für die extravertierteren Persönlichkeiten in der Klasse, sich (selbst bei wenig beachtlicher Performance) gegenüber zurückhaltenderen sichtbar zu machen. Spaß für alle und ein gewisser Purpose stand jedenfalls nie im Mittelpunkt, sondern eher Gehorsam dem System gegenüber.
Würde es sehr begrüßen, wenn hier ein zeitgemäßer Ersatz gefunden wird. Am besten irgendwas, das körperliche Aktivität, soziale Interaktion und kognitive Betätigung miteinander integriert.
