Pretty quiet in here so far. :(
It'd be nice if my BG name (Powerlord) was used rather than my name from the non-gaming sites was used in chat.

@Powerlord Powerlord is showing up as your name for me, I don't know about anyone else.
By the way, for anyone interested in experimenting with chat features, you can use the Sandbox without bothering anyone else:

@BrianCampbell: That's because I went in and reassociated which account it was attached to, and it took a good hour or so for it to actually update the post in this room with said change.

Q: Carcassonne -- problem telling the difference between the Big Meeple and regular Meeples

LittleBobbyTablesIn our gaming group, we have a very hard time picking out the Big Meeple from the other Meeples on the board. While the Big Meeple certainly is bigger than the others, it's not by a significant factor, and most of our group (epsecially me) just can't tell it apart from other Meeples on the board...

Q: Categories of Board Gaming skill

Drew HoskinsHow would you categorize gaming skill, based on your own talents, or those of people you know? And what makes certain people good at those categories? For one example, I've noticed I tend to win most games that involve a long series of calculations or tactical decisions, like Carcasonne and Boh...

Q: Rock-paper-scissors type randomizers

Richard GadsdenMost non-luck-free games use either open-ended randomizers (like dice, or spinners) or closed-ended randomizers (cards, chit pulls, etc). But there is an alternative, which is simultaneous revelation of chosen selections (rock-paper-scissors). One example of games that use this type of randomiz...

Q: 6 player dog variation

KempethIn Dog there is a expansion from 4 to 6 players. The only variation I know and have played is 3 vs 3. Does anyone have experience with 2 vs 2 vs 2? Does that play well too? Background: I'm thinking about doing a tournament and it would be easier to get the required number of boards if I could pi...

Q: Is there another good 3 player variant of Canasta?

chilltempThe only 3 player variant of Canasta that I know is Cutthroat Canasta. Are there any other good 3 player variations?

 
@BrianCampbell You can take ownership of this room if you want; it's just owned by balpha because it was auto-generated

Q: Chat is now available

Brian CampbellIt looks like chat has been turned on for BCGSE now. This gives us another, more casual place to discuss anything related to boardgames or the site. There appear to be two rooms that have been created linked to BCGSE, but I'd recommend using the "Board and Card Games" room for the least confusion...

Q: Are game design questions on topic?

Jon HadleyAre questions about new game design and development on topic? Example: How do I become a professional game designer? They were voted as such in the Area 51 proposal. (Note: To allow easier discussion, this question was separated out from 'What to do when a question had some votes to be on-topi...

Q: Why should I use this instead of boardgamegeek? What's the elevator pitch?

Rob RenaudWhat is the elevator pitch, given the big elephant in the room that is boardgamegeek? I am happy to be convinced that I should pay attention to things here, this has at least the following things going against it. The focus is a bit broader here than at BGG, and this actually works against th...

Q: 2500 rep for suggesting tag synonyms?

Brian CampbellI've recently gone over 2500 rep, and according to the privileges page, have enough rep to suggest tag synonyms. Since we've had a discussion about the clue vs. cluedo tags, and decided that a synonym is probably the best way to deal with it, I tried creating a clue synonym for the cluedo tag. Ho...

Q: Do we need to close bad questions?

Brian CampbellEver since the private beta, we seem to be a bit wary of bad questions, and quick on the "close" trigger. We've had several threads discussing what questions are good and bad, such as simple Googleable questions or questions soliciting reviews. Now, these questions may not be the best, as we're p...

 
@MichaelMrozek Thanks, done. I'm still testing out what I can do; I noticed other rooms which had question feeds, so I decided to try it out here.
