Hi there, new folks. How are you finding our instance? Need help getting situated? Don't understand all these timelines? Feel free to ask.

If you want a guide to peruse, here's my recommendation:

Dicey Goblins is a push-your-luck game seeing players try to take as many dragon eggs as possible without getting burnt to a crisp! Do you continue taking risks to get bigger rewards, or do you get back to safety knowing that someone else could swoop in and take the big one?

It's pretty much a reskin of Zombie Dice (so don't double up), but I would totally recommend it as a great game for beginners to the hobby. (currently £10)

Ever wanted a travelling theatre troupe of adorable animals? Histrio has you putting on comedies and tragedies for the King of the land, and fighting over the best actors and acrobats for your show.

It's great two player, works even better for 3-5, and is a much lighter affair than the previous two. A definite recommendation for a party night :D (currently £10)

Android Mainframe, the latest in Fantasy Flight's "Android" universe, has you playing rival hackers trying to get the most information out of a corporation before everyone gets locked out by each other.

It's an interesting twist on the classic "line and box" game, with gorgeous components and asymmetric abilities for each character that can completely change the course of the game! Very tactical, I LOVE it :) (currently £10)

Lords of Xidit is a beautiful game where you take on the roles of warriors going around a fantasy world, battling monsters and gaining reputation as the best Lord in the Land!

Its main mechanic is that you "program" all of your moves at the start of the turn, so you have to try and work out what you think the players before you might do! It's a minimum of three players and quite complex, but well worth a look :) (currently £10)

UK Peeps - The Works is currently selling a ton of board games from decent publishers at an absolute steal!

The following thread will be a series of recommendations of games they have

I'm not getting paid for this, I just want to spread the board game love with people :)

Hi! I'm Joey (he/his), and I love everything tabletop. I love playing all sorts of board games, I play a weekly D&D 5e campaign, miniatures stuff is limited to Gaslands though (so much cheaper for just as much fun).

I also design and develop board games, working on a roll-and-write anthology, as well as various other projects, among which a game inspired by Harvest Moon and Stardew Valley. Also penning a murder mystery adventure for 5e, with a curious twist.

Happy to be here!

On the fediverse:

On pronouns:
TtSoc supports people who politely encourage pronouns in bios.
Some instances may have a rule that says you must have your pronouns in your bio—it's not the norm, but it's certainly possible. TtSoc is not one.
We appreciate it when people do, but we do not require it.

(2/3)

On moderation:
In the last few days, someone from TtSoc (Tabletop.social) made some very hurtful comments.
After multiple failed attempts to get the person to realise the consequence of their action, they have been banned.

Going live with some figure creation for my next paper. Want to see me using OLEX2 and Povray to render something? After that some editing, if you want a preview of my next paper.
