Don't think a speedrunning game can lend much to Agora, though. I've been playing Enter the Gungeon, Your Only Move is Hustle, and Signalis as well. Some of my favorite games: Hades, Hollow Knight, Return of the Obra Dinn, Ultrakill, Overboard!, The Witness, Portal 1&2, Baba is You, Danganronpa, Stardew Valley I also like to play chess. -- snail
Re: DIS: What're Ya Playin?
This sounds to me like a very good idea. We would only need to narrow down what the auto-chess mechanic looks like, and a selection of cards/components. I'm not particularly familiar with auto-chess; since it's automated and there's no spectator, what sort of mechanics wouldn't work out very well? I imagine placement-based strategy and a majority of the forms of randomness would be unwelcome?

Both players submit their decklists to the relevant Officer, or they could just post a hash, and then those decks battle each other. -- kiako
Re: DIS: What're Ya Playin?
I've been thinking of doing a similar survey too, I think this is a good idea. I've been playing Polybridge 3 (physics-based bridge builder), Night of the Full Moon (deckbuilder roguelike) and Balatro (poker deckbuilder roguelike). It seems like all three of us so far have interest in deckbuilder games. Perhaps we'd be interested in some kind of deckbuilder autochess? So that we wouldn't require a lot of back and forwards by having to play individual turns. Going to throw out an idea for this: Gameplay could consist in rounds that last real life trimesters, where at the end of a round, there is a tournament where each player submits their deck and they all autofight each other until there is a winner. During a round, you periodically earn income, for example 5 gold, with Offices and certain Dreams allowing you to gain more.

Can be as specific or general as you want. Might be helpful to generate ideas for what people might want to do. Personally, lately I've been really into roguelikes of all types, especially rougelike deckbuilders. I'm also replaying Mass Effect. As a stream of consciousness, here's all the games I've been playing or wanting to play (sorted according to how well I think they could be scavenged for Agora games): Board Games * Pax Pamir 2E * War Chest * Oath * Ahoy * John Company 2E * Eclipse: Second Dawn * Twilight Imperium 4E Video Games * Frostpunk * Simmiland * Bad North * In Other Waters * Slay the Spire I will note that at least for some of these I've considered their subsystems for potential tournaments.
