  • We had the second-highest number of sessions in our Pathfinder game (the Hell’s Rebels AP) since we started in 2019. 8 sessions this year, 2019 was the highest number with 9.

    Started playing Changeling with a different group, most of whom I’d never played with before. That game is fortnightly and still going. It’s the first time I’ve played a regular game with another group since my ‘main’ group started playing together in 2004-ish. Actually, if I count those sessions, I’ve played more this year than I have in the past ten years.

    I ran a session of Delta Green for the first time this year. I’ve been interested since it first came out. I’m currently in the exploratory stages of finding out who will be available for a regular game of that, but it won’t be starting until next year.

    Actually, that’s another one. I’ve played more new games this year than I have before, other than convention games, at least. Played Fate, Changeling and Delta Green for the first time.





  • I’m guessing you mean the original Most Wanted. That game was excellent. I think the ‘special place in my heart’ is probably reserved for NFS 3 (which I played the absolute shit out of and was the first NFS game to include cop chases) or the first one just because it introduced me to the series. Most Wanted though was the last good NFS game in my opinion. I lost interest when Underground came out, but when the demo for MW was released I played it so much I had to buy the game. The soundtrack was good as I recall; I think it was also the last NFS game where I didn’t immediately mute the music.

    And yeah, the police pursuits were really good in that. Hard enough to be a challenge, but not so hard that it was punishing.











  • Apparently some people don’t like that you asked that question.

    I honestly couldn’t say. Usually I’d be able to give you a definite answer one way or another (and maybe my answer would be different if I’d played the game first) but I don’t think there’s a huge difference. Maybe just go with whatever you get a hold of first? That said, you can never go wrong with experiencing the source material first; at least not when the adaptation is of a similar quality. You’ll have a good experience either way. It really just depends on whether you want to watch the show and say “oh that’s how they did that in the show” or play the game second and say “Oh, that’s what it was originally like!”
