Well said… Thanks for spelling it out!

The Malazan book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson would be my recommendation. Start from Gardens of the Moon and go ahead… It keeps getting better and better!

Your last one is a good question. I don’t have an answer but I was leaning towards some sort of conservation law (e.g. normal stars have magnetic fields, when they get squeezed down to a neutron star those fields must go somewhere and it will be very much “concentrated”). Apparently this is a bit too easy (didn’t expect to be nothing different). Wikipedia provides a reference to a not too recent (2003) survey, namely this one: https://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0307133 . I don’t know if it’s the state of the art but it surely is interesting.

How much I do love those fonts. That proper spacing and balancing… It will always a place in my heart and I fear the day that I will fail to recognize it!

Same for me. I have been reading Linus (Torvalds) posts since decades and it really seemed out of character to me. I even clicked on the link but I admit that I haven’t yet understood what is going on. I have decided that it’s not for me…

So long, and thanks.

What is an “Analogue pocket” for those of us … Out of the loop?

There is an optional Ocr pass, from what I understand

One wonders how they market their services : “come to us, we are the best fake reviewers you can find on the web and these 5-star reviews prove it!”

I hope to be able to see it in a theatre. Nolan is one of my favourite directors and this is a movie I have been expecting since I first heard of it.

I understand. Just keep in mind that you don’t need to “do the voices” or to treat it like an “improv theatre”, a perfectly fine way to play is to refer to your character in third person: “so and so knocks quietly on the door and asks “is anybody in there?” Before kicking the door open with a roaring laughter”… And another player could sigh in first person, rolling her eyes: “oh no! Not again!”.

As for knowing what to do, that’s the job of the GM, to set up interesting scenes for the table!

Another good alternative and somewhat similar in spirit to Heroquest would be massive darkness. There is a 2nd ed which should be quite good, I have only played the first edition and it was good fun!

The movie was quite fun! And it gave a good idea of a fun rpg session, but I prefer other game systems rather than DnD to have that kind of feeling!

Have you ever thought about trying ttrpgs?

Thanks, I still have to get the hang of this “federation” of servers-thing. I found this beehaw community and the philosophy seemed welcoming and inclusive and so I went for this! I will check out the one that you linked above. Thanks!

Hi! This is my first post here so I hope I don’t make some mistakes. If you like Heroquest you could look at other dungeon crawlers, like the dungeons and dragons boardgames (my favourite is “waterdeep: the dungeon of the mad mage”), or my beloved Star wars: imperial assault or Lord of the rings: Journeys in the Middle earth. If you want to expand to other genres, since you like AH you could try Arkham horror: living card game. Absolute masterpiece.

The latest addiction to my game library is Earthborne rangers and is quite a refreshing take.

I hope that some of these resonate with you!
