Amazing band, one of the best gigs I’ve gone to this year.

I always liked the Monty Python one, and want to try the pirates themed one. Fluxx games are really fun indeed.

UK maybe?

Depending on what I am looking for:

• BBC Radio 6: mainly new stuff, although I have been surprised with very good oldies.
• The newsletter To the teeth for all things metal https://totheteeth.substack.com/ The playlist in spotify is really good too.
• Last.fm, even if it’s not as used anymore, I still find very good recommendations there.
• Spotify Discovery playlist has surprised me a lot in the past, but not that much lately. It suggests me what I was in the mood to listen to last week, maybe not that much today. The daily mixes are fine, but it’s pushing the same songs too much.
• The website https://1001albumsgenerator.com even if I am not a fan of some genres, it’s good to learn about some records.

From this same thread I am sure I will use https://www.gnoosic.com in the future.

This looks great. I’m looking forward to getting the finished version.

Or just the website if you can’t support the developers https://goblin.tools/ No need to install anything, it works great using the browser.

I found about it not long ago (also because my partner suggested it: "you may like this - Like? I love it!)

I can’t pick just one band, however, I clearly remember the first time I listened to

• Black metal as a genre
• Aphex Twin
• Aenima by Tool
• Traversee by Year of no light
• Black Sabbath
• Industrial Rock in general and Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails in particular
• Hyperballad by Björk

I’m sure there are more if I think for longer.

I recently played a small campaing with Cairn and I enjoyed what these systems with a few abilities achieve. Barrow Delver is a nice set of solo rules for it.

Mausritter is a great intro to the “OSR spirit”: due to the player being a mouse, you won’t be a hero for long if you run straight to every dangerous situation. Einzelmaus exists to play it solo.

It was really good to be honest.

I am very interested on it if you create it!

I just suscribed to it, thanks for the link :)

Great analysis, I’m a big fan of how you explained and compared it with a great game.

As a solo player, I find it a bit more difficult to apply it, maybe I need to use a better tool too generate more interesting encounters.

That’s a pretty good point. Time to read it again! (and this time I’ll play it)

Mausritter is a mix of some easy systems, very “kid friendly”, it actually won some awards because of it. The Tiny D6 systems are also good and easy to learn: two dice, if you have an attribute that helps, use three.

And I agree with you. I’m one of those playing solo boardgames and RPGs to avoid more screen time

There are discussions about boardgames and TTRPGs in Gaming, even if that community is mainly focused on videogames

MQTT, a protocol so machines can talk between each other. Mainly for IoT devices. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MQTT

I started with no TTRPG experience at all around a year ago. There are some games (like D100 or Four Against Darkness) closer to a boardgame than an actual TTRPG. You throw dice and go with the results, no need to roleplay.

Regarding solo boardgames, I would say games where you play alone together, like each player doing it’s own thing in the board with minimal interaction or minimal rules modifications. Spirit Island already mentioned is one great example, Cartographers, Sprawlopolis or Agropolis, Resist!, One deck dungeon… seriously, there is an amazing amount of options depending on your taste (deck building, throwing dice, etc.).

Of course not 😅 I’m not judging them at all, I finished years ago that phase where I thought my music taste what better than theirs now I just know it is /s

I linked it somewhere else in the thread. I’m finding there a lot of “new” stuff really interesting, even some of my favourites album are included here!

But I thought the first sign of getting old was making those noises when sitting down, etc.

I have never used rateyourmusic to check new stuff, but it was mentioned before in the thread. Is it good?
