Traditional game labels of Ameritrash and Euro are very useful, but how about 7 new types of labels? We used 7 varied fantasy Japanese Clans (from The Legend of the 5 Rings) to describe Top BGG games. This discussion doesn’t fret about area control or competitive/coop so much, rather just what the designers had in mind when creating it. Regardless of modern day kickstarter campaigns or expanding strategy games, these labels apply universally! Though there is room for some debate, just like how dungeon crawlers are a room of some debate on labeling!

We completed one 8 hour session of a JRPG TTRPG, of controlling heroes to go through a story! In Last Arc: Tactics Analogue you will craft a character (akin to DnD with D20 rolls) by choosing a class and the corresponding Technicks. You’ll even get money to spend on early equipment! With Alex’s Pathfinder experience of DM’ing almost weekly, we jump into this game and discuss combat, the setting we made, and the story that emerged. Will Gandalf the Green survive?
Other games mentioned: Imperial Assault, Heroquest, Dungeons and Dragons 3.5
