Board games at AGDQ?

2011-12-28 05:34:20 pm

I'm thinking of bringing a board game to AGDQ. It's a game that I made up and it's about survival after a zombie apocalypse. It's a fairly involved game with combat and inventories of items, but it's not as complex as D&D, with character sheets and rolling hundreds of dice every turn. Anyone interested?

I would have been interested in DnD(also probably, all the friends I bring here would have and will probably) so a less complex game could be interesting also.

Yeah, Dnd would be cool too. I'd be up for that whether anyone likes my game or not. I just made a decision to simplify because it's really easy to let DnD be more about the die accountancy than about the adventure.

Definitely bring it along and see if you get interest.

For other board games, I know a few people have been interested in Settlers of Catan. I could bring Carcassonne if it'll fit in my bag. Tongue

Too bad I can't go to the marathon. I like Carassonne. Catan is good, too.

How many people are going to this thing? I haven't been to one before, so I have no idea how much is going on off camera?

Exoray

Around 80 people will be attending this year.
We usually play a lot of party games or practice our runs off camera and this year we have even more things planned so expect a lot to be going on off camera.

Haven't played Settlers, but have played Carcassonne a couple times. I'd be up for a couple games if you bring them.

Also, I'd be up for trying Tom's Zombie D&D game if time (and my sleep schedule) permits Wink

I could bring my NES Monopoly cart.

I think you'll like the zombie game once you get a feel for it. The rules are very versatile. You can fight a zombie bear, catch crabs, and launch a horse with a catapult, all in the same game.

i'm very interested. looking forward to it.

what other things can you do? can you really do all of those things in the same game? thats crazey o_O

Tom Folino

2011-12-28 06:55:11 pm

Yes, you really can do those things. Catching crabs is sort of a joke. I won't go into all the details, but one thing that can happen is that you catch lice. When playing it with other people, we joked that when you catch lice a second time, it's crabs. I didn't actually write that into the rules because I kinda want this to be a family friendly game if I ever get to the point of selling it or whatever.

I have an NES Monopoly cart thats prone to seizures.

Im also bringing Anticipation for NES (think Pictionary with the AI drawing horribly vague things, its hilarious). And if anyone wants to run a DnD game i'd totally get in on that.

Is there anyone here who wants to be a DM for DnD?

NES Monopoly might have been the first ever game I figured out AI exploits for (getting the Computer opponent to pay top dollar for cheap property in the auction minigame).
