It's been nearly 2 months since we've had a session now, it's been long enough we feel.

Everyone was very happy to see Jackbox return and the spinner wheels (pictured at bottom of post) myself and Kingshadow made seemed to add to the enjoyment of the session.
Also it was a lot of players' first glimpse at Jackbox Party Pack 9 which came out in Oct 2022.

So let's have another session on Sunday 11th June at 17:00 UTC (18:00 UK time).



We'll be hosting the game on the LF forum discord server using the voice chat rooms (Pillar room/Brick room), voice chat is not essential but recommended for some of the Jackbox games for best results.
The game is brought to you using the discord screenshare feature, we host the game and no downloads or applications are necessary on your end. You just need to go to jackbox.tv to play the game.
Link to the LF forum discord server if you have not already joined https://discord.gg/2MyfSfN


The sessions usually go on until a large amount of players have decided to leave the session, average session length has been around 5 hours, we can go on longer if there is significant demand to though.

Everyone is welcome, it's not just for people who have played before in these sessions! :thumbsup:

Myself and Kingshadow will be hosting this session and we'll alternate between hosting throughout the session to cut down on waiting time between games.
We also have access to all 9 of the Party Packs between us.

What is Jackbox?

Jackbox is a long running series of Party games which have been annually getting released every year since 2014 and Party Pack 9 is the latest installment which was released in Oct 2022.
Games vary from drawing, putting witty responses to questions, to strange general knowledge. A lot of games are different while some are sequels to previous games which are considered legendary.

The way the games are played are through a browser on a PC/Laptop or you can also play on your phone/tablet devices at jackbox.tv . The way we play, you'll need discord open to view the game being played via screenshare but also you'll need a way to input the answers to the game via an internet browser.

While there is a limit on how many people can play at once, we haven't really had such massive turnouts that this has been a problem in the past, we can always play a game twice if the amount of players outweigh the capacity the game can take at the time.



So who's interested? :)

The way that the session will be planned is that half of the Jackbox games are picked from a list we have already chosen from (About 1 per pack with a backup pick if that game is picked) in order to reduce the number of times we need to switch packs. People that attend will be able to decide the other half. I will use a wheel to pick out a player to choose a Jackbox game they want to play. People who attended but didn't pick a game in the previous session will have increased priority.

You're allowed to pick from the following games (Assuming that they have not been played in the session yet):

Quiplash* (Defaults to Quiplash 2 [Pack 3])
You Don't Know Jack (YDKJ: Full Stream [Pack 5])
Drawful* (Defaults to Drawful Animate [Pack 8])

Just a reminder about this session in 3 days time :thumbsup:

In other Jackbox related news, much like how TKO2 was announced as the first Jackbox Party Pack 10 game a week before our last Jackbox session, by pure coincidence the 2nd Jackbox Party Party 10 game has been announced this week!



Quote from: Jackbox GamesHave you ever wished someone would reply to your text messages for you?
Have you sent a message, blinked and felt like throwing your phone against the wall?
Have you imagined the witty answers your friends would come up with if you combined your brains? You're in luck. In the new The Jackbox Party Pack 10 game , you will be able to act out that fantasy without having any negative responses!

Welcome to FixyText , the biggest finger fight since the thumb wars!

This game is, in short, chaos in the group chat. Players will have to collaborate to write a crazy response to an exaggerated message in a limited time. The player whose words have the most impact, generate the most laughter, receive the most votes... wins!

FixyText is for 3-8 players and will feature in Jackbox Party Pack 10 coming later this year :thumbsup:
