At the moment I'm working through Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion. I know a lot of people say the story isn't much and that's true but I've been enjoying it so far. I think the next game I'm eyeing right now is Middara which I know has much heavier story element to it. How is the story content of games like Oathsworn and Descent? Also have Aeon Trespass Odyssey on order, can't wait to give that a try!

    100%, I'm even thinking about re-playing Jaws of the Lion since its not too long with voidborn and demo (maybe adding hatchet or redguard). My current solo playthrough is two-handed with hatchet and redguard and I'm not sure if I'm ready to step it up to three-handed haha.

    Arkham Horror is soooo good! The core box isnt the best story but its not bad either. Currently me and my game group are playing through Dunwich legacy and I really like some of the story thematic elements that show up in game mechanics.

    Dune imperium is really fun - worker placement with some deckbuilding and bumping tracks (as the brothers murph says).

    If you like campaign games you might enjoy something like Kingdom Death Monster - dark, boss battler/settlement builder. Definitely mature game though.

    Marvel champions is a ton of fun but it can be very expensive if you want to keep buying more and more packs. Baiscally a deck bilding game similar to arkham horror LCG but for marvel and not a campaign unless you buy the campaign expansions.
