Spotlight Staff Picks | May the 4th! Space & Beyond
This month were taking a deep (space) dive into all things Sci-Fi!
Here's the galactic game round up from the Twenty Sided Team:
Morgan | Offworlders
I love a space western– Firefly is one of my favorites shows (If you haven't seen it, what are you still doing reading this?! Go watch Firefly!). Offworlders is an absolutely delightful roleplaying game. If you're looking to go explore the galaxy doing odd jobs with a lovable ragtag crew, this game is for you. Oh, and you're all aboard an absurdly, yet somehow perfectly named spaceship, "The Quiche Lorraine."
Daniel | Pandemic
I love the epic feeling of traveling all over the world doing battle with intense problems, and the co-operative nature of Pandemic brings people together in fun ways. You all NEED each other to succeed or you all lose as a team. I think people have forgotten how outstanding of a game this is because of the "ahem" pandemic we just went through, but today it feels really good to defeat a global pandemic from the comfort of your living room.
Alex | Passing : Ashcan Edition
When we think science fiction I believe most of us will picture space, scientific discovery, and exploration of the universe. However, to me science fiction is about humanity's faults, our fears, and how we respond to threats that may not be so far-flung into the future as we would like to believe. Passing explores humanity's fear of outsiders and the paranoia that follows; however in true Twilight Zone fashion, the genre is subverted by placing the players in the role of Aliens trapped on Earth attempting to survive against the humans!
Mickey | That Time You Killed Me
Mad Scientists traveling across multiple timelines to vanquish their rival and prove once and for all that they're the only true genius! If you're like me, and always kick yourself for thinking of the perfect move hours too late, fear not! That Time You Killed Me lets you play in past, present and future simultaneously, who needs hindsight?
