Hello & welcome @Bryce Melear!! Dianna rocks 🎸 & Survivor and the Traitors are two of my favorites! On occasion we have ongoing reality tv discussions over in Discussion Halls in the Sports & Entertainment forum. Hope you enjoy the site!
Oh sick, I definitely want to get in on that! I think I know of you via Dianna telling me about the site, I'm excited to chat some reality TV with you. Survivor 46 is insane, I genuinely CANNOT believe Q's shenanigans from last week.

@Bryce Melear, welcome to TVN! I was so entertained by @Dianna Melear recruiting another one that I forgot to say hello in my first post... :desk:

I thoroughly enjoy anime and am curious about your favorites and what you've worked on! I, too, am a board game guy, and thanks to a local game shop doing a weekly board game day, I've gotten to try a bunch of new ones in the last year or so. Have you played Terraforming Mars or Space Catan?

Be sure to check out the Guilds when you can. I look forward to seeing more of you on the forums!

Yes, I remember! It was great hanging out with you! Are the photos from the shoot going to appear on the forum somewhere?
The photos are on discord without the frame, that is being handled, but not by me, then they will be posted in the thread that is already up

Haha no worries!

Yeah, I'll give you 3 favorites, two of which I've worked on (in a sales capacity, not creative!): One Piece (which I haven't worked on), Chainsaw Man, and Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. One Piece because no manga/anime operates on such an epic scale (perhaps no series other than the Wheel of Time???). Chainsaw Man because it is really REALLY smart and the way in which it acts like a classic shonen megahit while also subverting shonen tropes is outstanding. And Jojo's Bizarre Adventure because it's so freaking weird!

Yeah, I actually just played Terraforming Mars with @Dorian Har'Locke like a few weeks ago. I enjoyed it quite a bit and I'd be interested in trying it again. I've also played regular Catan, but not the Space version. What changes in Space Catan?

Yes, hello! Lol I remembered your name as Swole Sedai, I think like 3 different people referred to you that way and I didn't remember your real name. It was great meeting you!

Everything changes in Space Catan, but the underlying principles are the same: resource gathering, the evolution of the initial building to complex building, and a variation of roads in that they are spaceships. It's been a while since I played, so I don't remember any finer points.

Does the Naruto universe compare to One Piece or the Avatar universe? I'm curious: What metrics are you using to determine the epic scale?

As for other anime, have you seen Code Geass or Violet Evergarden?
