Love Letter. A very quick game with just 13 cards. Games take about 3 minutes so you can play multiple rounds if you want. Suits 2-6 players (best at max 4 in my experience). Generally very popular and easy to learn.

Comes in dozens of themes as well, if you don’t like the “princess in a castle” theme. You can find Batman, Cuthulu, The Hobbit, versions depending on your preference.

The way I picture this is by letting communities have some sort of “partner communities” listing. If mods of games@xyz decide they like the content of games@abc, and gaming@123, they add those communities as “partners” (perhaps those communities have to accept which in turn adds games@abc as their partner). Then, when any user subscribes to one partnered community, they also become subscribed by proxy to the others, and begin to see posts from all 3.

This helps smaller communities piggyback on the success of willing larger communities and gain a bit of visibility as well, which should encourage growth of each partner so smaller ones don’t just die out.

Communities can “unpartner” at any time, in which case users would only remain subscribed to the one they originally selected. And of course, users could explicitly block any of the partnered communities if they don’t want to see the whole set.

The theme is very minimal. I think the premise is “someone is trying to sneak a letter to the princess. Guess who has it? The guard? The maid? Etc.” It’s just a deduction game.

But there are also loads of “themed” versions if you prefer. Batman, Cthulhu, Munchkin, Santa Claus, Legend of the Five Rings, The Hobbit, Marvel, etc.

And since there are only 13 cards, you could easily re-theme it with a Deck of Many Things or something.

Ooh this is neat. Unfortunately my shelves aren’t divided into cubes like a Kallax, but I do like the idea.

What about something like Aeon’s End? Not racing on a map, but racing against a clock, because the big monster is going to destroy the world if you are too slow.

Awesome deck building, but an extreme sense of urgency.

I had some other games in mind, but honestly, none of them would have the longevity that Netrunner does. This is an excellent choice.

Are you looking for separate games to play in between roleplaying sessions, or games to play “inside” the roleplaying game?

One game that comes to mind is “Love Letter”. A fun little card game that involves a little bit of deduction and bluffing but only takes about 4 minutes.

Is there a particular product that you have in mind as an example?

Oh interesting. Kosher is a whole market I didn’t even think of with Beyond Meat.

Is cultured meat considered “real meat” or “kosher” for your purposes? (I hope I’m using the term correctly)

If I see a URL like this, I, and… polling my coworkers here… All 52 coworkers on my group chat would say these are highly suspicious and would not click on them. I imagine this is the general consensus for internet-savvy people.

• I’m happily reading a post on Reddit, and see a link like that: clearly dangerous.
• I’m happily reading a post on Lemmy, and see a link like that: probably dangerous, but possibly a Lemmy instance? Impossible to tell. I want to read Lemmy, not whatever “stoneclub” is.

It would be great if links to remote Lemmy instances had some kind of styling applied; a little icon, etc., that would make it clear this link is within the fediverse.

Trying to figure out Lemmy. It’s not easy…
