Fresh Despatch
One parcel this cycle, and the courier declined to bring it past the threshold. It had been left too long at the bottom of something, and had taken on the character of the place.
Newly arrived:
- A Normal Guy Plays Dark Souls - Part 5 - To the Bottom of Blighttown — a descent long enough that daylight becomes a rumour, and then, at the very bottom, evidence.
From the deeper stacks — the same affliction, differently boxed:
- Rune - Yes Indeed. Prepare, Engraved, to roll dice (Dark Souls on your table). — a solo Souls-like that out-lores the licensed article, on a four-by-four grid.
- Revisiting Bloodborne: The Board Game - This Hunter’s Dream is a frustrating one — an adaptation that punishes you for engaging with the thing it adapts.
- Horror-themed video games and board games - which works best? — on whether a box on a table can ambush you the way a screen can.
Planned excavations resume next cycle.
