Beakman is dropping out so we need at least one more player to get a full team. Is anyone interested? If I can find one more, I’ll try to set up a game for the coming Saturday, in place of our regular Factorio session. I’ll be doing this more often from now on, occasionally mixing other genres in with our regular games. After Ready or Not I would like to play Word War Z—whose first level we’ve already beat and which seems like a terrific game—then I want to try Escape from Tarkov, which I’ve heard good things about, and then other games in this vein. Plus the occasional smaller tactical or strategy game like Eugen’s games et al. So more diversity added to the handful of juggernaut games like Factorio which form the staple of our gaming diet.
But first, Ready or Not on Saturday, if I can get at least one more player and set it up. If I can’t, I will try other games from the above list and set Ready or Not aside for the future, when we do get a fifth or more players.
Keep in mind when deciding to participate in these games that there’s no guarantee we’ll like the game enough to play more than one session, so you might not get as much bang for your buck out of them as you might have wanted. But we’re still only talking about one new title a month at most, and I think that the enormous value we’re getting out of our staple games like PA, Factorio, Star Citizen, Fantasy Grounds, TaleSpire et al. more than balances this out.
