I’ve been playing Voyages Campaign, and gearing up for some more Hexplore It for the month once I get a bit more time to play some heavier games. I’ve been trying to utilize the microblogging platform of kbin a bit, so if you are interested in watching these places, you can follow along here:

Yeah, true solo (the term that is generally used for playing games “one handed”) is definitely a really big discussion point when it comes to soloboardgaming. A lot of people will only play a game if it has balanced or qualities that support it while others have no problem playing 2+ handed, depending on the game. I’m personally of the “I don’t mind playing multihanded camp” but totally understand the preference. That is why we include those qualities in the poll because it helps to understand what portion of the community prefers which style (and helps those who prefer those styles find those games).

I think once you get deeper into the system though, there are more enabling cards and investigators that allow for true solo, at least on the easier difficulties. Luckily, there are deck building experts who share their decks over at Arkhamdb if you aren’t heavy into the deck building stuff though.

@Holyginz That’s why we exist, to spread the word!

I haven’t picked up a copy yet, so no, but the one stop coop guys did a good preview of it and it seemed like a passable experience and one of the cleaner automa they have done. If you haven’t checked that out it might be worth a look.

Most Stonemaier games automa I have tried are decent, but for a lot of their games doesn’t feel the exact same as playing vs a human, at least in my opinion. A great option if you own the game but not perfect purely for solo.

I’ll be eventually picking up the game at some point to play with others and when I do I’ll be sure to try out the automa as well to see how it compares.

I… ugh… just ordered this game for $60.99. I was influenced :(

(Also what are the dimensions of your table, I might be buying a new one soon and I just realized this table is likely a good reference point.)

Thanks, I totally forgot that robots.txt existed. Since you are replying, do you know the difference between badges and tags?

I wonder if there some way for instances to use the canonical tag to point to the original and make it less annoying for search engines.

That said, I guess id rather see it crawled and let search engines figure it out then have it not crawled at all. Not really sure where that feedback goes though.

What game should we add to the poll next? Leave your suggestions here.

Maybe it’s a server issue with all the new traffic but is the way to not get logged out after such short periods of time/usage? Feels like any time I attempt to interact with something on kbin I have to relog in.

Also, as someone else provided feedback on, being able to hide threads in a comment feed would be super useful. If it exists now I haven’t figured.out how to do it

Just my initial feedback.

I agree. Once a comment gets like 20 replies it can be pretty unreadable. Have my updoot.

If reddit magically goes back and fixes it’s API issues, will this instance stay supported? Same question, but if the subreddit opens up (with NSFW or as normal?). Hoping the answer is yes, but wasn’t sure what the plan was there.

I’m also not sure how technically this all works. For instance, I’m reading this on kbin, but obviously you guys have your own instance that is federated on pathofexile-discuss… but what happens to the content if your instance goes down (or in the opposite direction, say it got so popular you couldn’t afford to keep it up?).

Sorry for 20 questions! Trying to learn more in both cases while supporting the effort.

I might try this with my kid but it doesn’t SOUND very interesting beyond just trying it out once in a while. But who knows, maybe I’m judging to harshly before trying it.

Has it been confirmed it will be on PC in 6 months or is that just a hope? I haven’t decided if I want to wait or not.
