Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

now don't you feel better?

Definitely.

Keep breathing!

Popping out of lurker mode to say hi, can anyone help with a puzzle? Games Magazine has a puzzle where you ID the pieces from 15 different games - the picture include something with a very familiar-looking "B". Anyone know the Buffy-verse board games well enough to help?

Actually, I'm nowhere with this puzzle, so while you're at it, can you help with any of the other 13 pieces? (The chess piece I got.)

Here's the puzzle

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Definitely.

That is working out pretty well so far. msbelle, come visit.

Shari - that looks like the Buffy B, but I haven'y played the game.

Hi, Shari! The piece in the front center is from Shogi, a.k.a. Japanese Chess. (I think it's a knight).

I don't recognize any of those game pieces. Except chess. The bunny one is cute, though.

The front left piece looks to be from Acquire: [link]

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

The BUffy Board Game piece is the piece you use to count off days between full moons. I don't know what it's called, but you roll a particular die to find out whether it advances, and it's important, because Oz loses all his accumulated stuff (but becomes a badass) when the moon goes full.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Nutty beat me to it. I'll just add that it's pewter.

The 10-H piece is a hotel chain piece from Acquire.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Shari (or anyone else), if you're interested in "cheating," I just googled my way into another discussion of the contest: [link]
