Happy Monday, tabletoppers!

What games did you get up to in the last ~7 days? Feel free to share any stories, anecdotes, thoughts, and opinions about your game sessions. And don’t forget to discuss others’ games too, of course!

Hey! Unless there's a tabletop game named Stray that I'm not aware of, I think you might be in the wrong community (this is Tabletop, not [email protected]).

(Although now I'm secretly hoping there's a tabletop game just like it 😁)

I've had a bit of a low gaming week, only played

D&D 5e (1x 4p): We're taking a bit of a break from our main campaign that's been running for 5 or 6 years, and one of the players is DMing a few sessions of something from the Wild Beyond the Witchlight book. We're enjoying the very strange Witchlight Carnaval! I play a Fairy druid, and as I discovered as we started playing, my character has ADHD. I'm really enjoying the silliness of the setting, and the DM is fantastic at doing silly voices which fits so well!

Bonus question of the week: one game I recommend to almost anyone is The Crew. Cooperative games are enjoyed by almost anyone, the rules are so simple to explain and fit pretty much everyone's attention span, games are short but you can play it for hours too, and depending on experience and skill you can dramatically adjust the difficulty. And it's cheap and small and easy to bring places. Great game all round!

I don't play solo RPGs myself either, but just like solo board games, there's loads of people who enjoy them (such as OP). Just because they don't appeal to you, that does not invalidate someone else's game experience and enjoyment :)

Anything you want to share about Risus and what makes it fun in your opinion?

I noticed today that one of my struggling garden plants is absolutely covered in bugs. I have no idea if those two things are related (we had a massive drought), but I wanted to find out what these little dudes are, and whether they're friend or foe. Any thoughts?

Edited to add: located in western Europe.

Hi everyone!

It's Monday, and I'd love to hear what y'all have been playing in the past 7 days or so. Any thoughts, opinions, anecdotes, and recommendations are welcome.

Question of the week: What game would you like to play more often than you do, and why?

Hi all,

I've painted some miniatures from one of my board games. It's the King of the Forest with two dogs and a bird, all grown out of the woods. I really enjoyed painting them, organic shapes and vibrant natural colours make me happy. Would love to hear what you think.

The whole crew together:

A group of 4 miniatures that have been painted. The king is a large humanoid figure, there are 2 dogs, and a bird perched on a tree. They are painted in vibrant greens and browns.

Some pictures of the miniatures by themselves:

The Forest King holding a bow and having a glowing yellow sword on its back.

A painted forest dog, partially standing on a stone, its head lowered but looking up.

A painted forest dog, its head raised up looking out.

A bird with blue-ish feathers perched on a piece of wood. It has a wooden carapace.

AMA about painting miniatures, always happy to chat about that!

Hi everyone, I thought I'd say hi in this new community as a new moderator. I'm Foon (she/her), and I love table top games. My partner and I have been gaming a lot in the past 5 years or so, and we have a bunch of friends that turned into boardgamers too, and boardgamers that we turned into friends. So on average we get almost a game a day in.

I'm excited to discuss all things tabletop gaming with you all. Some of my favourite games are Gloomhaven/Frosthaven, Spirit Island, Aeon's End, Terraforming Mars.

What are y'all's favourite games?

I feel like if I came out I’d be virtue signalling and taking oxygen from people who are “actually queer”. I’m worried people won’t believe me, because I spent 15 years not believing myself.

For what it's worth from an internet stranger:

I believe you. You are allowed to take up space. You are allowed to be who you are. You have just as much of a right to identify as whatever you want as anyone else. And if someone doesn't agree with that, that says a whole lot more about them than about you.

I quite enjoy falafel and I'd like to try my hand at making them, but deep frying is not an option for me. Anyone have suggestions how to make them in a skillet or oven?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

That sounds fun! I was actually thinking about doing something similar, but only about a few ones I think are special. Would love to see it.

Edit: what I mean is, I think it'd be interesting content, not that I'm in any way trying to "compete"!

Every time I look at this picture I just giggle.

It is, yes! From Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood. When we got it and it came with such epic minis (and you reveal a new one every game), we decided we wouldn't play with grey plastic anymore. So now in between each of the games we have to paint a new monster!

This mollusc monster is a lot bigger than what I usually paint, and it took me forever to finish it. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Would love to hear what you think.

This mollusc monster is much bigger than most things I paint, and it took forever haha. I’m very happy though with how it turned out. Would love to hear what you think of it.

(I can’t seem to add more than 1 picture to the post, is that normal? I’ll see if I can add another in a comment.)

Absolutely adorable, this is the cutest thing I've seen all day. Thank you for sharing!

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I second this, I could do with a guinea pig overload in my life!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Super cute! I haven't sewed anything in about 15 years...but you're making me want to pick it up again!

Also can I just say I'm in love with what I can see of your house ❤️

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

My cat Biggie (full name Mr. Bigglesworth, a white persian, is named after Dr. Evil's cat from Austin Powers (pre hair loss!)

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

That looks lovely! Do you actually get to walk him like you'd walk a dog, or does he just explore where he wants?

When the weather is nice I take my cat out on his harness too. I just let him explore as he wants... Which just means sniffing around the parking lot near my house (which is the neighborhood Cat Central). I believe my neighbors now knows me as "that weirdo who walks their cat" 😅

I have a happy worm bin that takes care of most of my composting needs. I use the castings around my garden, mostly when I'm planting something new, but I also feed my established plants with it when I can.

But! I've also been thinking it'd be great to deliver castings right into the ground, and would love to use semi-buried containers in the beds to compost right there. There are plenty of native composting worms in my location.

I have a bunch of small (1-1.5 liter ish?) buckets with lids that I'd love to repurpose for this. I was thinking I'd make a bunch of holes in the body and lid of the buckets, and bury them up to the rim. Then fill with some bedding and some scraps, and inoculate with come castings and some worms. And just feed whenever there's space, hoping the castings spread a bit into the ground, or otherwise dig it up when it's full of castings and bury it in a new spot.

My main concern is that the buckets would be too small. The reason I'm aiming for this size is honestly because I want to use these containers for something useful instead of tossing them out. I'd love any suggestions and to hear about your experiences with in-ground composting!
