La Rona Crossing

So we got Animal Crossing : New Horizon

It's a real cute time suck. That's pretty much all it is. It's adorable. I can't think of anything more adorable, except maybe Golden Sky Stories. I hope that it gets some more involved modes, but I am not too hopeful since it's pretty nice to just poke around a little community, fishing and gardening, not doing quests n shit. The biggest dangers are wasps (which sting your face in a cute way) and tarantulas, which send you back to your house. Absolutely no penalty for "failure" states, which this game doesn't even really include.

I had in mind a Stardew Valley/Dungeon Crawl Classics mashup a couple of years ago, with fishing and friend making and delves into the dungeon. Daniel Bishops Faerie Animal class is very suggestive in this regard - in fact I just purchased Gnome Jambalaya and may run it tonight for friends. That's going to need to be later, after I finish running these chores for this nefarious Raccoon Taskmaster (n.b. he's a Tanuki. A Tan Nookie). The little Gnome by Yves Larochelle from Crawl #6 has a gnome which is magical and might fit right in but an Animal Crossing Halfling might be pretty great thing to run with.

So there's a terrific little couple of integrations with previous Animal Crossing games - mobile ones and DS ones. You can scan designs with your iphone Nintendo Switch app, and integrate them into your game. I'm pretty new to it, but here's some of the shirt designs I've cooked up via this wonderful site that generates QR codes for scanning. If you hold your Nook Phone app up and scan these, they'll be available in game for you.

5 cool points if you know where this one is from

Enjoy - expect my Stardew Crossing Crawl Classics hack sometimes later this month, provided I don't die of respiratory failure or boredom.
