Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)

Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.

× Welcome to one of the oldest board game communities on the Internet. That may sound like hyperbole but it really is true.

We are really happy to have you here. Unfortunately, being online we can't bond with you over a game so you'd know right away how happy we are to meet you. For now, you'll just have to take our word for it.

This site has always thrived on lively discussion and spirited but civil debate. We hope that newcomers here will find a welcoming atmosphere where game enthusiasts of all levels of experience and commitment will have something to add to the conversation. You never need to prove your “gamer cred” here. Whether you have been playing board games for a few months or a few decades; whether you have a huge collection or a small one; whether you have been a member here for years or just joined today – your opinion is valued here.

We know that it can be intimidating to jump into a new community and want to assure you that this is NOT the kind of forum where people will tell you that you posted something in the wrong place, or that you should have found an existing thread on the topic, or that you shouldn’t have resurrected an old thread.

So if you find a thread or an article discussion that interests you, whether it is old or new, feel free to jump in. Want to discuss a specific game or board gaming related topic just start a new topic. If you don’t know which forum to put it in, just make your best guess (we really don’t care all that much. It’s easy enough for a moderator to move it or merge it, if necessary).

A good place to get started is by introducing yourself in the “New Members Introduce Yourself” thread (below) or by telling us what you have been playing in the “What BOARD GAME(s) have you been playing?" thread ( therewillbe.games/forum/35-mos-eisley-ca...ave-you-been-playing ).

Have fun, and we look forward to hearing from you.

Lurker for the past several years. On and off (generally solo) gamer for the past life. Depending on my mood I like to either melt my brain to a pile of goo or just merrily toss dice and do what they say. And I'm not a fan of the cult of the new, so thanks for the Eurogames Reclamation Project, Mr. Barnes. Too many amazing games out there simply get passed over because they use "old mechanics" or whatever.

New here, still taking a look around. I design games (for fun, not sale so far), play tons of games (when able) and am organizing a game convention in Southern Utah for this upcoming January. It was suggested I post about BryceCon in the events section, so that's how I discovered the site. Looking forward to enjoying the place!

Gary, this is the place, man! Diehard, slightly less psycho gamers! I hope your con is a success, and I hope you actually hang out around here and don't just troll us with BryceCon updates.

Howdy. silverbowen here. Just got my 7th ban at bgg for stupid crap. Hopefully the mods here aren't so up their own butts. Don't get much sense of community when they keep muzzling me.

How's the trade/sell functionality here? Is there any? That's the only reason I keep an account over there.

Any other newbie tips or peeps want to welcome me, feel free to PM.

7th ban, lawdy. You are trying too hard, man. You might have a bad case of "give-a-shit-itis." This is a much more laid back environment. Strong opinions are welcomed, personal attacks are not (unless funny for reals), and there is no trade/buy/sell infrastructure. Build up a reputation and folks will probably go for it, but it's all managed in Trash Talk posts.

I maintain an account at BGG for economic reasons as well, but I haven't posted there in years.

I recognize your username although you're not allowed to use a different avatar here than on BGG for identification purposes (kidding).

You may have a point, although generally it's the opposite :) I definitely have a bad case of "saying-what-I-really-think."

Forgot to do this earlier, but what the hell let's start this New Year off right!

I've been a pretty big lurker both here and at BGG, although even the act of lurking at BGG can be so fucking tiresome.

I've been a longtime fan of FATcast, reading and enjoying reviews from Barnes, Superfly Circus, and most recently charlest.

...yup, that's about all I can think of on this hazy new year's day morning!

EDIT: shit I forgot to mention I'm a pretty big videogame nerd, so feel free to add me on Steam/PSN/XBL (they're all the same as my username here...I strive for consistency)

Hallo!

I'm Randy,

I'm a video game artist and designer making my first tabletop (which is definitely AT). Disclosing my purpose right off the bat. :( I legitimately feel bad about it. So it goes.

BUT I like to write about design and art and intent and meaning of mechanics. And you have a nice blog system, so I'm hoping I can be useful and interesting there. I write on Gamasutra.com about video games and have never felt comfortable writing about my tabletop design endeavors. So this seems like a great place to do that. I hope that's acceptable and/or that I'll have interesting things to read!

Working on my first design blog post right now.

Cheers!

Randy, is your avatar some of your art? Very cool. It's like a cool version of The Scream, blowing the ears out of that stupid hobgoblin
