so I would guess regular bathing is a requirement for that kind of job ;)

The others I mentioned are pencil and paper games. I haven't played them in years, either, as the last group broke up for various reasons and I never heard any of them playing again. I would guess that most of them are online gamers now.

I still enjoy the pencil/paper games as it's good for having a low-key party, like the board game parties :)

Every time I bring up Nuclear War, I want to get people together to play it. If only I knew enough in-person friends again... But basically, every person is their own country, with propaganda, population, warheads and delivery systems. All of that is randomized so you can have more warheads than missles, not enough people to survive a first strike and so on. Players form temporary alliances, some legitimate, others are just subterfuge. It's a great game for today's world
