Although we used to have board game nights growing up (1313 Deadend Drive my beloved) my parents aren't gamers of any description. I have recently had some limited success reintroducing them to card and board games. Tip: don't start with a single use escape room game. They are fun but your folks may ask if every game you mention or suggest for the rest of time is replayable, having somehow forgotten that's the norm after one (1) counterexample.

Anyway, stay tuned for the next week or so to find out if The Quiet Year is a great or terrible idea!

HiFly Malta's 9H-TQY [Airbus A340-300] parked up at Auckland Airport in February.

Until LAN Airlines and Air Tahiti Nui replaced their A340s, they were very common here, but with their replacement with the Boeing 787, they've become a rarity.

New to Singapore Airlines in 1997, it was given the c/r 9V-SJJ. It was retired in 2002 and was flown back to Germany.

It was overhauled, leased to Emirates and flown under the temporary c/r of D-AGJP. This was replaced by the c/r A6-ERQ. It was owned by BBAM Aircraft Leasing and Management.

BBAM then leased it to HiFly as CS-TQY* in 2013, and I believe this is when HiFly purchased it outright. It was transferred to HiFly Malta and gained its current c/r in 2020, and spent some time operating for the RAAF.

*I believe this is the former registration prefix for Macau.

I got to play The Quiet Year again and it's only the second time, but it really gets more fun. Even when I was struggling on a really hard choice to make, it's just kind of, NICE, to sit back and view a world from a distant angle, as opposed to maybe getting too into your own PC's head. Almost like a TTRPG version of Banished, which I have also been playing a lot of after reinstalling it (my new village is called New Cumford, heh heh).

But now, in combination of those two and Fallout being my most recent things, I am overwhelmed with the desire for a setting where things are destroyed and you are rebuilding. Factions aren't THERE yet, you have been cut off and need to discover them.

Anyway, just musing. To go back on The Quiet Year - I think it is incredible fun if you want to play it, and you are short on being able to wrangle another 2-3 people, I think it's one of those games that could be a fun solo-play or world-building / journaling project. If I get another round or two of TQY under my belt, I'd love to take a shot at their monster-POV off-shoot, The Deep Forest.

System Spotlight #1: The Quiet Year

On my d&d subreddit, I started spotlighting tabletop RPGs that are a little less wellknown than D&D and Pathfinder. Thought you guys might enjoy! I’ll post a little bit here, and if you’re interested, you can read a quick overview of the rules and some pros and cons right here

THE QUIET YEAR:

In most role playing games, the player will get the chance to tell the story of a single character. We’ll spend hours, months, or even years following the story of said character, and watch them blossom into a beautiful butterfly--or into a grotesque monster, depending on the kind of angle you like to play at.

The Quiet Year is an interesting and very different take on RPGs. Instead of forming the narrative for a single character, you form one for an entire location. With 2-4 players, you and your group will gather around a map and decide the fate of a community struggling with the collapse of civilization. The premise is that they just fought off one threat, and expect another to come along in one years time. The community will take this quiet year in order to prepare for the trials that they will face next.

The game has a pre-existing story that it has shipped with, and due to the nature of the game there is a lot of replayability with that story. You could do it over and over again to try to perfect your run, or simply try to get alternative outcomes. Conversely, it would not take a lot of homebrewing to change the story while keeping the main premise of the game.

One full game traditionally last 3-4 hours in order to reach its completion. For people who prefer longer campaigns, this game may not be for you. For those who prefer one-shots or have been wanting to try them out, this might be right up your alley ;)

@monster-noises thank you!!! Michael is writing up a more descriptive summary of our weeks as we go, he’ll post it if you want him to, just let us know!! TQY is AMAZING for world building, i can’t sing its praises enough for fleshing things out — the Factory Boom AU was one where we found ourselves with a large span of time that we had just kinda blandly labeled “rebuilding”, but we didn’t have any real idea of what that meant or what was happening in there, and didn’t know really how we wanted to fill it in.

so we were listening to Friends At The Table (an actual play podcast i really enjoy), and their GM Austin introduced The Quiet Year at the beginning of a campaign to help with world building for the upcoming campaign, and i had the very sudden realization that it could very easily be adapted to flesh out happenings even in a world with an already existing map, with a few small liberties taken, so that’s what we’ve done!! a few cards have to be thrown out very occasionally (mostly ones that pertain directly to the map-building, like, there’s one that asks what the most beautiful feature around is, or what the most grotesque thing around is, and that doesn’t Super Apply to what we’re doing, so we tossed it). but that doesn’t happen that often! we’ve been able to adapt it really well!

the only real “issue” is that it’s meant to be played fairly quickly, 2-4 hours is what it says on the tin, but we discuss things more than the game suggests, so we’re at 7 hours of gameplay in at the start of Summer wh e e z es

[himboarcher]

i’ve been pretty positive about ethersea so far, but the fact that we might not be getting an actual episode now until july is............... not great. they really should’ve stayed weekly for the world building eps, especially since it’s something a lot of people don’t seem to enjoy that much.

The Quiet Year is a classic of the indie game genre. It has a focus on telling a story about a community, rather than about individual characters. It uses a quasi-oracle system to prompt the players to choose what happens to the community you're building.

I feel like saying much more about the game is gilding the lily. TQY is a great game, it's great for new players and veterans alike, and it's wonderful to use either on its own or as a jumping-off point for a setting to a longer campaign. With no prep required, it's perfect to just pick up and play whenever you have a few hours to spare.
