Let's do a weird crossover chain. Each successive person takes one of the prior canons and Xs it with a new canon.

SPOILER TAG things that are newer.

@Mariano riffed an entertaining fake Twilight x Cowboy Bebop fanfic. Some highlights:

Q: "Why did you make Edward Cullen stuck in Ein's body?"
A: "It's for something down the line, it helps Edward bond with Jacob with a now shared canine understanding."

Q on Bella's inevitable resulting jealousy: "Bella gets omg so jealous angsty."
A: "Yeah but that's the trigger she needs to realize it was always Jet...This is post-New Moon divergence so there's no baby"

Q on whether the Eds get mixed up
A: "I'm not debasing my art by using such a philistine trope...We just have a 'You guys have an Ed too?' line and that's it"

Tagging @Mariano to now do Twilight X Game of Thrones

Early days of Web 2.0 were a fun time. People were trying different things just for the hell of it as they explored what the internet could be. What are some bizarre, fun, hard-to-remember-they-existed things you remember from those days?

Mine was a Super Nintendo, and I still think nothing compares to Super Mario World. It probably created too strong of an early core memory 0_0

@Alexander-Salkin I've heard great things about Robo Rally, especially for large groups.

@mianngu Some that are great for replayability and have an element of randomness:

• Ra (25th Century Games just issued a reprint). Plays up to 5. Better with more players.
• Citadels Best with 5-8 players.

Great replayability and more involved, less randomness

• Power Grid Best with 4-6 players
• Agricola Good for 2-4
• Bohnanza Awesome with 5-8 players. It's a trading game.
• Brass: Birmingham Great with 3-4 players.
• 7 Wonders Great with 5-7
• Root Great for all numbers. It's an asymmetric game.
• Wingspan 4 players

2-player games. Great replayability

• 7 Wonders Duel (with the Pantheon expansion)
• Rivals for Catan
• Agricola: All Creatures Big and Small

Collaborative game to check out

• Spirit Island

@Mariano Agree–this seems to be just a way to cheat yourself out of having fun. Players are just robbing themselves of the delight of innocently outmaneuvering the DM. DMs' expressions and responses when this happens are at least a quarter of the fun.
