Sep. 5th, 2016 12:50 pmAlas, the ex-roomie couldn't host this holiday, so people came over instead. Since we have no grill, just ordered some pizza. It was sad not to get the skirt steak fix, though I guess K didn't have the time to grill anyways if we were at his place.
But it was a fun time, played many games. The picture version of code words, the 2nd edition of Mansions of Madness, Scythe. I like the new version of Mansions of Madness. The "DM-ing" is handled by an app, which I think is a huge improvement over the first one. I think when you have a person controlling the bad guys, they play them a little too smartly, making the game a little harder. The whole gaining an insanity changing your particular personal win condition seems interesting, though no one came close to maxing out on mental damage, so we didn't get to experience that in the game we played.
TV commentary:
Penny Dreadful- Finally finished this up. While there were some definite kick ass parts in the series finale, it was ultimately disappointing. I'm guessing the word that they were cancelled came suddenly and they scrambled to conclude things. Because while they did end the main arcs, there was so much wasted potential. ( spoiler cut )
