Figured I'd start up something gaming - though not exclusively tabletop - related. So, what are you playing right now? Is there a certain board game that you just picked up or brushed the dust off? Maybe a Stream game that you just downloaded or a PlayStation game you just got? Please, do tell. I'll start:
Last week I started playing an MMO called Dragomon Hunter. It's a F2P that's a pretty simple tab-target combat with a simple yet fun strategic gameplay. Only downside thus far is that your appearance is controlled by consumes instead of your equipment, but at least you can purchase different consumes (with or without real money, which is nice). Pretty much every superficial item in game is purchasable either with money or various in-game currencies, and none of them really can effect the end game function. Also there's a somewhat limited number of classes, but reach gets 2 different weapon types plus a specialization at level-30. Overall, I give it a thumbs up if for nothing else than being an enjoyable time suck and relaxer.

The diceheroes have dug out rogue trader and are giving that a spin. It's far enough removed from all the law to be fun.
I got battlefront on ps4 seeing as it's cheap online. Only played a few rounds but it seems casual and fun which is what I like. Got a 2nd controller and Lego games cause my daughters just getting old enough to play. I'm actually quite impressed with the Lego games, it's almost like they are trainers for real games.
I'm very much looking forward to xcom 2. This is probably going to be a real time killer for me.

Love Lego Star Wars and Batman, and if I had a current-gen system I'd be playing the crap out of Lego Dimensions. Xcom looked amazing, but unfortunately I never had the chance to play it. Loved the system and humor of it though in the play-throughs I've watched. |

Oooo, I miss Rogue Trader. That game you ran on the forums at NerdBound was a lot of fun.
The only thing I'm playing regularly right now is Battletech, the original FASA game. I co-opted my brother to playtest games with me while our board was down but since we got going again he won't play anything else. We were playing Sun Tzu for a while. It's a two player game that plays in about 15 minutes to a half hour.

Kinda sorta. You don't use a ruler to measure and there's no point value for units. For this game we're using 5 squads of 4 mechs each. Each squad has an assault, heavy, medium and a light mech.
To hit numbers are determined by range and movement of both attacker and defender. There's lots of counting, lol
