Incredibly funny to me that Obscure Psych Horror Analysist YouTube fully stopped his 4 hour video on one single act of Inscription, halfway through to make a completely unpaid proffesional-ish ad for his local independent game store, as a thank you for letting him film some shots there
Ciri: I knew it! You couldn't resist this game of GWENT even with its ridiculous conditions!
Morvran: Knowing Master Geralt, princess, I'd be shocked if he did not, at least, made an attempt.
Morvran: And by the looks of that pile, Master Geralt played down to his smallclothes.
Ciri: Put up with wearing a doublet for now, Geralt. Beats killing monsters with your tool flapping about.
Geralt: Done laughing at my expense, you two? I'm not about to prance around in those chaffing tunics. I'm off to fetch my swords.
Geralt: One of these days, I'm going to wipe that smirk off his face-
Emhyr: A rematch? Then I shall look forward to adding another of your witcher's armor in my gallery. One down, four to go.
Geralt: Kiss my ass, Emhyr!
Emhyr: (chuckles) Interesting, I'll add that condition the next time you challenge me.
-The End
These series of events were inspired by the next gen update of TW3, which my headcanon includes a new GWENT player that I always wanted to challenge: the emperor himself.
And I also believe he is the hardest GWENT opponent to beat!
Many thanks to @i-be-busy-witchering for indulging my requests and delivering splendid shots to fit my narrative! Photoshop edits and story by me.
I know I just reblogged a big group of ttrpgs (and purchased them!) but like...every single internet list of "looking to branch out from D&D? try this!" I read just never gets what I want out of TTRPGs, which, to be fair, is just...what is provided by D&D.
Jaipur is a small but exquisite economic game for two players in the atmosphere of an oriental bazaar from 1001 Nights. Created by S茅bastian Pauchon.
The aim is to make high-quality deals by skillfully exchanging and selling trade goods and camels, which will earn you the most victory points at the end.
To do this, you take it in turns to buy goods on the market and then sell them at a profit and hoard rupees.
You always have to decide whether and how many goods you want to exchange for others, or whether you want to clear the bazaar for fresh, more lucrative goods by picking up all the camels on the market.
Pick the right time to sell as many of the same goods as possible at once, for which a high bonus awaits. But be careful! If your timing is bad, your opponent will snatch the best goods from you with smaller but tactically cleverly placed sales.
The game is played in two out of three fast-paced rounds. Only the player with the most excellence coins at the end is the overall winner.
There are already several editions from different publishers.
