Goddamnit. This is so fucking true. Gonna post this to our poly chat.
Poly chat or board games chat? ;)
Damn, I guess it’s my turn to feel called out. We’ve got a floor to ceiling shelf that is filled with board games, and we’re looking at getting another.
Another board game or another member of the pocket?
Yes.
How much of it is wall-of-shame? Most of my bookshelf, over 90% is wall-of-shame.
ETA Can confirm, I am polyamorous and a tabletop gamer. Rather, I’m poly-compatible. Presently, I’m single and not looking.
ETA Clarification: I’m not actively seeking romance. I am actively seeking gaming groups.
That’s the fun part though. Looking for a gaming group and looking for a polycule are basically the same thing
It’s because we know it isn’t cheating to play within house rules so long as everyone agrees 😉
I mean, you can have a board game playing friend group where you only fuck one or two of them…
I mean, if everyone is fucking one or two of the other members, it’s basically already a polycule
It’s how they figure out who gets to sleep with who
Roll for initiative.
Twister covered in baby oil, the ultimate in poly foreplay.
That sounds fun?
At my age, that sounds very hazardous.
My back seized up just imagining it.
Whom
It’s how they figure out whom gets to sleep with who.
Objectify my polycule pronouns again daddy
depends on who wins and who loses the board game
It’s really just about finding groups of people who can show up on time and stay focused for 1-3 hours, depending.
and stay focused for 1-3 hours
The amount of my boardgame friends who have adhd makes this rule very optional 😅
its just like settlers of catan
less yapping more cheek clapping
So OOP is basically experiencing sexy survivors bias?
Maybe being into board games is the default state and monogamists have a board game deficit
Isn’t that the guy from Bames Jond?
No, it’s a neurologist that specializes in diagnosis but made a typo when he signed up for internet sites.
having tried board games and such, I can confirm that the straight hetro male nerds did not in fact lead to a poly love heap.
Skill issue
I did poly for a long time and wasn’t that into board games. But yeah a lot of poly people are into them.
I’m more into tabletop RPGs, but never achieved the dream of a polycule party.
Nowadays I wouldn’t even recommend crossing the streams that way.
I recently had a poly breakup. One of my fears was that it would be the end of the campaign I’ve been dming since the the group was me, a partner and a few of their other partners. Turns out we can all be adults and the game is still on. ☺
Depending on how broad definitions we run by, then board game can be synonymous with tabletop. Especially for the uninitiated
I’ve found that there’s a weird rift where a surprising amount of people who like board games dislike tabletop RPGs. I think because they’re so open, where board games are more structured and directed.
In the biggest polycule I know, there’s a mix of “likes both”, “doesn’t do RPGs but like board games”, and … I don’t know if anyone likes neither in that crew.
Board games alter your hormones
Easier & enough people are the same thing.
Much like two of the thruple having sex with me is just as easy as me creating my own thruple.
But is every huge board game nerd you’ve met poly?
FWIW, I know several board game nerds and one person who is poly, but AFAIK none of them are into the other thing.
it comes from the same origin (the Zen character) which is interested in scientific exchange (board games are a stand-in for this) and organizing (which is significantly furthered by polyamory)
I was into boardgames way before I knew I was poly.
