SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Relatively simple board games that you like

Just found one that is relatively straightforward, and (best of all) very quick to set up: Hadrian's Wall. This one functions well as a solo game, as well as with up to six players. Perhaps not the simplest game I have seen, but most of the mechanisms are very similar throughout.

Talisman. (I only played 2nd edition. Not sure about the current one.)

A lot of luck mechanics makes it just a fun thing to play with friends when there's nothing better to do. (Rare when you're an adult)
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

We really love Labyrinth, from Ravensburger. I played it for the first time in a game design class, then ordered it when I got home.
