  For The King      This week we talked about several different types of Tabletop games. An interesting video game was made called For The King which is essentially capturing a tabletop game experience, however in a videogame form.    The player starts off by creating their character, they can change their appearance and class.

Well, within this activity lives are limited to one revive per player, and each encounter has something known as a "wipe" mechanic, meaning if you fail the "puzzle" everyone dies and the encounter restarts.

This operator will be in charge of activating buttons to disable the security systems protecting a power source to the overall security system of these "power coils" that power the deep stone crypt. The two teams on light and dark have a scanner who are capable of telling t...
