Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Some of my buddies just brought up an upcoming board game called Batman: The Boardgame. The minis look awesome!
It's based on the same system as Conan, by Monolith. One friend kickstarted Conan, but hasn't played it yet. He mentioned that he just got some new rules sent to him since the original ones seemed like they needed fixing. Did you get/play Conan @chas ?

Well hopefully they work some stuff out for the Batman game. Seems like it will be one person playing the bad guys and the other person/s playing the good guys.
My buddy Brian is a big Batman (and Star Wars) fan, so he was mentioning it. Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you ...Iron Maiden - The Wicker Man TUTORIAL FOR RE-BASING FIGURES 3hrs 43mins 32secs = 1242nd of 8808 overall - 1988 Honolulu Marathon |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
Played a 2 Player game of Iki, the rare Japanese game I just got, for the first time. Its about the Edo Bridge of Japan (Nihonbashi) Marketplace, where the non-samurai Japanese are going about their live, trying to create a life with the most Iki or Chonindo (as opposed to Bushido); the grace of life for regular people!
I usually don't do pure Euros or economic games, but this one has no trading (oddly enough), simple math, a great theme, good graphics, and works for me very well. After my opponent lost a key stall through a fire we thought he'd lost the game, but he came back very strong at the end to win. It only took 2 hours, which is short for a game that I own. Now that I know how to play, I look forward to trying it with 3-4 players. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
I'm looking for some help and ideas.
I'm building a fantasy adventure game scenario. Currently in the scenario the 'monsters' are skeletons and goblins. Originally I was expecting that the 'monsters' were somehow being controlled by a powerful figure that kept the skeletons and goblins from fighting each other. I'm thinking that it is unlikely that the goblins would keep the company of skeletons without some sort of controller. So I'm looking for some ideas. If I no longer have a controler, but I want to have two different types of humanoid / semi-intelligent creatures that tolerate and maybe even cooperate at bit. I'm looking for some alternates and suggestions as to which creatures might work. The only ones that spring to mind would be goblins and orcs, but I don't know if I want to have orcs in this scenario. Any ideas? |

Thanks,
@Taeblewalker
. Right now its not for Heroscape. You've hit on my problem in that the Skeletons will only work if I have a bad guy control the skeletons. At this stage of the scenario I might have either Skeletons or Goblins confront the heroes, or possibly both at the same time. So rather than introduce a controller for the skeletons, I'm thinking that it would be better to swap the Skeletons out for a different foe. But who would get along with the goblins? Or what two monsters might tolerate each other to cooperate against the Heroes?

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
You could always take the stat structure the skeletons are based on (i.e. Use their hit points, strength, damage or spell tracks) and then "re-skin" them with a description of your choice. That way you can make up any humanoid type creature you want and give them whatever reason you want them to have for hanging out with goblins and not try to shoehorn in a pre-made creature.

@Taeblewalker
Thanks for the suggestions. I will play around with those. The bugbears might be what I need. @Raider30 For the scenario I'm working on, I really can do most of what you've suggested, and probably will. The stats are not the problem in this case. I can have Goblins and Hooziwazies, but I was first trying to see if there were any more traditional 'monsters' that did not come to mind that might somewhat be able to co-exist without a strong hand forcing them to do so. |

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
How about a "cause" that unites them? Or a common goal...a jewel or treasure...a political motivation...a desire to destroy humanity...the search for some magic item.
