Lasers and Feelings – A One Page RPG
Again, the virtual environment made it harder to work together and off of each other’s energy, something important to RPGs, and boardgames in general. Unfortunately, it was also cut short by the end of class. Lasers and Feelings has a nice balance in character creation that was made even more evident by our choices in…

Week 6 – Free Play
This week for free play my group decided to play Incan Gold since we did not have a chance to last weekend. Overall, the game play went extremely well as everyone knew the rules of the game. Each player either won the game or came in second place which made it fun. We spent time…

Can’t Stop
From the beginning I knew this would be a game I either really liked or disliked depending on if I won or not, which is extremely rare for me. To me, this is a game of luck and risk, two mechanics that I don’t mind separately, but together makes for a game that has me…

Week 5 – Incan Gold and Can’t Stop
This week we were going to play both Can’t Stop and Incan Gold. Starting the game was rocky as we had trouble with the board game arena website. Once we figured out the issues (realizing we had to play Incan Gold on a tabletop simulator) we started and decided to stick with the game Can’t…

Fiasco Part Two
From the previous week, we haven’t got chance to finish the game but we can be able to reach Act two. The hardest part of this game is to cooperate with our relationship and create a story with no twist. It relates to leadership that to create stories and keep track of people’s relationships, most…

Playing Fiasco on Tabletop Simulator
Fiasco Fiasco was, as promised, a fiasco. As expected, the Tabletop Simulator was difficult to navigate, especially since I’m currently stuck using a trackpad. Otherwise the game went as many do, with a lot of confusion and chaos. It was hard to work off of the energy of the other players like you can in…

Fiasco – Part 2
This week we continued playing Fiasco from where we left off last week. Overall the game went well. I have to thank my group as I had wisdom teeth surgery the day before this class and so wasn’t feeling great and they supported me in that. They let me take a smaller role in Act…

Fiasco – Part 1
This week we played the first session of Fiasco. This was a game I was very timid to play as I have never played a role playing game and the idea of it really intimidated me. I am not a very creative person, so I was nervous about having to make different scenes. The hardest…

Week 1 (Roll Player)
This week we played a game called Roll Player and it was pretty interesting. The game is a basic idea on how to create and character for Dungeons and Dragons and includes elements such as equipment and skills that your character can buy with money, rolling for your character’s stats, and the character’s identity. The…

Roll Player
Last week we played Roll Player online through Tabletopia. The hardest part for me was definitely adjusting to the board game simulator and understanding whose turn it was. The confusion over turns was solved by constantly mentioning whose turn it was and keeping track of who went when after replacing the order cards. Our Zoom…
