Game Review: Dread!

She also takes questions at:

Monthly game reviews! Are there any games you love that I should check out and review next month?

[Kristina]

@ifimjuliet No, it's a book you can buy!

[JaKamps]

That actually sounds interesting because of the Jenga twist instead of a standard dice roll.

I hadn't heard of this one before.

I'm a fan of storytelling games as well, in fact I'm making one!

I'd recommend you check out the game Once Upon A Time, & Cutthroat Caverns with the expansion "Tombs & Tomes" since it's like Munchkin with a choose your own adventure story to it!

Dude. This sounds awesome. I got to play Call of Cthulu last year. FOR A CLASS. I only started tabletop last year (D &D of course). That particular campaign just ended, and now I'm participating in another game with a different (sort of) GM (our old DM stopped DM-ing and he took over). This time we're doing an original post-apocalyptic game using the Serenity system, which he likes a lot better. I'm reading the rule book over winter break =P

[Plottoberry]

This sounds absolutely amazing. It's like IRL pen-and-paper RPG. I'd love to do this on a pyama party!

[TylerBunnylover]

That is so neat! I've never heard of that before! I'm going to have to play that.

[THEBrandonBrownson]

Hmm... a non-die table top? Huh... that's interesting.

Personally, I prefer anything made by Palladium. SO many good games; Heroes Unlimited, Palladium Fantasy, Rifts... so much awesome! The battle system is a little difficult to learn, but me and my buddies converted it over to classic D20, which makes it flow SO much better! The fact that there kind of a home town gaming company (It's a Michigan company, I'm a Michigan broski) probably skews my bias a bit, too lol

That sounds like an AWESOME game! I will totally have to try this with some of my friends from drama club. As much as we play mafia, and as much as we get into it, this could be a crazy fun time!

[idobelieveinnargles]

That sounds awesome!
Does it involve any cards or a story guide in English?
I'm just wondering because I have a few friends who struggle a little bit with the English language (which is mostly because they're German)...

[ninjoy]

I have your shirt. I love it so much.
Also ever since you talked about this on your blog I've wanted to play but it seems so complicated to start it...

[prongslover]

not sure if anyone else has commented on this, but...OMFG TARDIS SHIRT!!!...ok fangirling done. That games sounds awesome!

[paigeisahufflepuff]

I LOVE the game Quelf. It's my favorite.

[answerly]

@miceylulu (This is Molly) My mum was just telling me about that game! I hear it's fun.

[tatipful]

Kristina, I just started to play this morpg game (Lord of the Rings Online) and I'm really shy around the other players. I tend to log off as soon as they say hi or start the same quest as me. Tips?

[josh]

Do you have any ideas for the questions for the people to make there characters I might be able to convince my family to do this on Christmas eve

[ViolinistForever]

That sounds fun! :) And, I love Jenga

[miceylulu]

There's a really interesting table-top strategy game called Carcassone. You should look it up. :)

[Xethagona]

Have you ever played extreme jenga? There are a few variations we play:
1. opposite hand to writting one (easy)
2. Blindfolded
3. Using someone elses hand (hold they're hand but not allowed to touch tower yourself!)
4. Nose and Teeth (slightly gross but extremely funny!!!!)

[Muirehann]

It would be cool if you could give us more tips... especially on how to make the quiz to set up :)

[SodaVampire]

Hm, sounds fun! :D I just happen to have friends that enjoy DnD and other games, so I'll see if they might be interested.

[queenfrostine]

Sounds awesome! But how do you initiate this game? I wanna try it at my next friend gathering.
