oh and I supposed to answer my own question:
(are we allowed to do links here? I will drop them if joe)
top organizers and accessories for me are probably:
quick draw and setup on wingspan from Etsy, lets me set up the entire game in about 3 minutes, wife and I play it all the time in part because of how quick it is to set up and tear down.
so many little things for Arkham LCG, I’ve gotten card mats with custom images on them, mythos draw bags, connectors for locations and stuff.
did this happen? anyone got a link if so?

is it just me or does it look like someone straight up took a bite directly out of the pizza on the right side there
I was hopping in to comment wingspan and then immediately realized of course everyone had already been talking about how beautiful this game is
no one that has used it would be surprised by that.
also did they write the study with ChatGPT?
just got the base, horizons sounds interesting thank you!
good to hear thank you!
Arkham lcg is my favorite game, but it absolutely is campaign-based.
there are standalone scenarios that you can do but they are not the main part of the game. the campaigns are incredible though and honestly if you can find even one other person or even play solo I absolutely recommend this one.
could always demo it on like tabletop simulator or something too to see if you like it
I really love pbta games but I would agree with you that they are not rule light so much as “rule lighter than d&d”
there’s lots of one page systems out there that are truly rules light.
that said once you know the rules I would say that it provides a system that is easy to plan for, it’s easy to play in, and it flows very naturally.
I ran dungeon world and monster of the week campaigns for years, playing probably 3 to 4 hours once a week on average most of that time.
I think I did maybe 2 hours a month of prep? something about like that.
I loved how pbta games would allow me to basically spend all of my prep time coming up with cool ideas and not having to worry too much about the mechanics because I either had a framework too accomplish them already or I could just make it up on the spot.
some of my group’s favorite moments in our campaign have come from me just making things up on the spot and them being able to react to it.
when I used to DM for d&d or Pathfinder those kind of moments would take hours of prep work.
I would say the obsession is more people finding something that has freed them from the heavy rule set rather than something that is truly rules light.
I got to have an intro session but then never play deadlands. I need my weird West fix!
was really hoping it would fix the biometric settings bug introduced at the last update of 13 but apparently not
it’s funny because this reads like something exaggerating for effect, but anyone in this kind of position knows that it’s not.
oh nice I’ll check that out
