Cypher Chronicles

“I caused my owner to trip + attract the attention of a brain sampling robot…and I helped!”

Olivia is a Super Smart Princess who Experiments With Science. Rowan is a Cool Robot who Plays With Ooey Gooey Things. They just found out that their friend Wiffle has been captured by saw-toothed witches deep in DragonSnot Falls! They’re the only ones who can enter Storia and save Wiffle—how will they do it? It’s all up to them!

No Thank You, Evil! is tabletop game of creative make-believe, adventure, and storytelling. In No Thank You, Evil!, each player creates a character based on a couple of cool, descriptive, imagination-firing traits. The Guide (a special role often played by a parent or older sibling) presents a dilemma, and the players set off on an adventure of the imagination. Along the way they use their character’s special skills, companions, and equipment to overcome obstacles—perhaps fighting a slime monster, winning over the suspicious mayor, or beating a rabbit at a race.

Whereas conventional board games constrain players’ actions, No Thank You, Evil! sets kids’ imaginations free: Their options are limited only by what they can think up. Together, the players create a story as they work together to make their way through the adventure!

For the Little Kids, the Grown-ups, and Everyone in Between

For the Little Kids, the Grown-ups, and Everyone in Between

On Sunday night, we played more Numenera!  And it was pretty much everything I wanted it to be and more, because Travis (who used to be in my Wednesday group but went AWOL due to real life last July) showed up to play.  The only sad thing was Will didn’t get to do or say much last adventure.  This should be remedied somehow.

Let’s see…  There was an awful lot of bickering this game, and that was absolutely lovely.  At one point, our GM told us to “keep up the banter” because he was looking for something, which made us pause because we thought he was being sarcastic — but, no, actually, he was looking for something and he did want us to keep bickering like an old married couple.  Keith and I are pretty good at this thing, and I approve.
