Forbidden Hero: A brother's best friend & bodyguard romance (Redleg Security Book 2)

Product Information

I wanted to make Forbidden Lands stand out from Mutant Year Solo. This time around I wanted to use the D66 and game icons. Game Icon oracles work really well in fantasy settings where we get a much broader range of possible interpretations from the internalised emotions and motivations to the physical world to treasures and threats to magic and monsters. Fantasy worlds are culturally rich places and this gives a lot of possible interpretations to each icon. Sat on the shelf in my FLGS, Forbidden Island instantly jumped out. Not only for its fantasy-style cover design and its foreboding title but also its metal tin! No bent edges, no dog chewing, no drinks spilt on it, definitely a win for us.

I am considering doing some videos on how to use solo rules to play these games. I am just not sure if there would be much interest. Does anyone watch solo play ‘actual plays’? My bodyguard’s stupid rules - For forbidding me from flirting with him, touching him more than necessary, and kissing him again. Even though he started it! Though I cannot think of any other games to directly compare it to, there are alternate versions of the game, Forbidden Desert, and Forbidden Sky, both of which look to have a slightly different slant to the base game. We would probably buy both of these games in the future. I guess, with my passion to try and discover new game, I just want to find a reason to buy it! I have beside me a few adventures to play solo (5e), the one ring 2e to try in solo, ... I just want the book, they looks gorgeous and inspiring! Decision making and group planning take up the most part of the game, which is why I like it so much. Being able to converse with your friends and work together is a great change from competitive gaming.

I was ready to give this book 4 stars (the FMC annoyed me with her mind games: I agree we should keep this a secret for now... boohoo, you're keeping me a dirty secret... whiplash) but otherwise great banter and bonus star for victim getting therapy.

Tales from the Loop is Free League's rules-light Zero Engine game of coming of age and exploring the 1980s that never was. Like any good cooperative game, there are multiple ways to lose the game and just one to win! You win the game if all four treasures have been collected, all players have made their way to Fools Landing and one player plays a Helicopter Lift card for everyone to escape. You can lose if one of the following occurs:

If the tile is flooded, remove it from the board and return it and the card to the box. When this happens, you cannot use a Sandbag special action to save the card. It’s too late. It’s gone forever. Next shuffle the Adventurer cards and deal one randomly to each player. Each adventurer has a special power so discuss these powers in the group so you know what each other can do. Then take the coloured pawn of your character and place it on the tile with your pawn in the bottom right corner. It is ok if your starting tile is flooded. Any extra pawns and Adventurer cards are returned to the box. These add-on rules add solo roleplaying to Tales, trying to keep the rules-light feel while maximizing the amount of mystery in playing the game. being manipulated by her client (ooh, the boys are poopy heads and they're taking away our rights!!) The witty banter and sarcasm are so well written! Their is no mistaking the nature of the MC and his relationships with everyone in the book. And the FMC certainly holds her own as well!

Found family—from past shared military experiences and current work/life experiences. Gorgeous side characters. Read Heartbreak Hero (Redleg series book 1) to get to know Leo and Sue better.

Product details

I am really surprised how much I ended up enjoying this book. I think the style the characters are written in, you will either love or hate. It took me a while to adjust to the frenetic and at times manic internal monologue of both POV’s. However, certainly in the case of Sammy (our FMC), it’s a really clever vehicle to help the reader understand how she processes her trauma. My bodyguard’s stupid rules – For forbidding me from flirting with him, touching him more than necessary, and kissing him again. Even though he started it! This is another wonderful addition to the Born in Texas series. This story has drama, suspense, swoon-worthy romance and a happy ending.
