Been a little quiet in the dungeon....

I've taken some time off the last week or so to spend some time with my parents who are visiting. We've been driving around Washington visiting some of our favorite spots. It's been fun.

As far as gaming goes, I've been able to dabble with some things for upcoming episodes.

Just recently, Into the Dark Dungeon: Silver Mine was delivered from Kickstarter. It's a small box dungeon crawl, and I'd say it's somewhat similar to Bag of Dungeon in terms of depth. I really like the art, and overall it seems fun, but it's hampered by the rule book. I've got a lot of questions about the game. Expect a video in the near future.

I've also started reading Tales of Argosa, which I purchased from DTRPG. There seems to be some buzz around this game. It's a bog-standard fantasy RPG focusing on S&S style play. The book is hefty, and has tons of tables for generating random things on the fly; it also has some great art. It also supplies some decent solo rules, especially for dungeon crawling. You can get a neat deck of oracle cards for the game, and there is a set of custom oracle dice that were made, but they don't seem to be available right now for purchase. I will most likely cover this on the channel in the near future as well.

Another recent delivery was Whisperers in the Woods, a small indie RPG with an Eastern European setting. This game focuses on the players controlling villagers who live on the outskirts of a mysterious forest. It's designed primarily for co-op or solo, and for short one-off sessions in which the villagers explore the forest and try to return to the safety of their village. It's small in scope but has some interesting elements. Looking forward to playing this more.

And finally I've been reading through one of Alex T.'s most recent games (although he has probably already written three more games!), Machine Gods of the Noxian Expanses. Typical to his style, Machine Gods has a great premise with an interesting world, and it's mainly designed for spontaneous exploration and play. I'm digging this one, as it seems to contain just enough for the variety, without becoming too much to digest.
