Eight Dudes Looting Offbrand Hogwarts – Brewkessel Actual Play

/ gg no re / Leave a comment

We actually play Brewkessel, by Kettlesberg Games (Tom Holmgren). It’s (currently) two levels of a Hogwarts-themed megadungeon. (We also had a million players for this session, and people had to share mics; so do forgive us for any gnarly audio.)

We recommend Brewkessel, by Kettlesberg Games (Tom Holmgren). It’s (currently) two levels of a Hogwarts-themed megadungeon.

Bryce, in his review, says:

Still, this is a very worthwhile addition to a game. It’s the best Hogwarts I’ve seen.

It’s a fine line to walk and the designer does a good job. I hope to see more entries.

We talk about how Chartopia can help you organize your random tables, high school drama club, how motion blur is terrible except in VR, and play a little bit of the actual game. More proper play next episode.

Dungeons and Tables Part 2

TL;DR – I replaced the removable trays with a french cleat system for more freedom in positioning trays and cup holders.

In Part 1 I explained how I made the original version of this table.  The plans for the base table can be found on Ana-White.com.  It’s a simple plan that doesn’t require anything fancy. You can cut everything with a hand saw if you want, or have Lowes do all the cuts for you. From there I added removable trays and a plexiglass panel/screen.

Behold! The everyman’s gaming table. Complete with mismatching stain, visible screws, poorly measured cuts and after-market mods.

Introduction

I said in my last post that sometimes I randomly receive visions from the Overmind come up with an idea and obsess over it until I do something about it.  Well this is kind of one of those ideas. Continue reading →
