Thanks for this, I was already starting to look for hints in the BB descriptions. I think this could indeed be hinting at a hotel GP and I think it could be coming in February/march too. My little theory is that the 'Run a Resort' option in January's survey came out on top and they decided to make it it's own pack because the theme is in such high demand. Hope that is the case and I also hope it'll come without a world! I tend to not use the GP neighborhoods because of their size.
The quality of the GP is always better when they come without a world (or a super small, simple world like Vampires). The gameplay seems to be underdeveloped when they have to put part of the GPs budget into creating a really pretty world. Glimmerbrook and Batuu may be small, but they have a lot of detail in those worlds, which is part of the reason I think the gameplay is lacking compared to other game packs. The budget for a gamepack is sure to be smaller than the budget for an expansion pack, so if they put a lot of those funds into world creation and graphics, the pack suffers elsewhere.
Very much agree, especially regarding Realm of Magic. I would have much rather had a few more gameplay objects/dynamics in place of Glimmerbrook/the Magic Realm. I'd even go a step further and say that I would have even preferred more general build/buy and CAS stuff instead of the world. I get that the vibe of the pack was heavily inspired by contemporary witches (i.e. The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) but they didn't even give us a classic witch/wizard hat. Still out here stuck with that goofy one with the spider hanging off the back from Spooky Stuff, unless you use CC.
My hope is that a hotel pack without a world will be able to properly impress without any caveats or short cuts.
I agree about the hat! We need a real witches hat...... wish they would give us one, one of these Halloween’s..... but I love Glimmerbrook! My disappointment was in the types of spells we got, and the witches realm and how easy it is to achieve the the spells ....... i have few people show up to the witches realm ... and when they do they are wearing turbans, fine in San Myshuno, but the witches realm??..... I’d rather see people in the realm wearing witch and warlock robes....
But, I would love to see a world with hotels....and I hope, like rentals we will be able to make our own hotels in whichever world we want them in. With however many stories, hotels being a lot type.
