The Goonies (1985)
The Goonies (1985)
1985 | Adventure, Comedy
Sums up all my childhood movies
Awesome adventurous kids, a daring quest, and being set in 1980s America, pretty much sums up all childhood movies into one. The Goonies is an absolute classic coming of age movie of kids trying to stop a rich developer buying up property and splitting up the young friends. Their way is to find mythical treasure via a map from a so-called legend. Along the way are some good old fashioned villains, some challenges and a pirate ship. Still watch it every Christmas.
  
Josie Prescott is upset when her friend Rosaline is murdered. Was she murdered because of her tangled love life? Or was it because of the secret treasure she told her teenage sister about? Josie is stronger emotionally then she's been in previous entries in the series, and the story moves along quite well. I wish I could have read it faster because I was enjoying it.

Meet Trixie, Honey, and Jim as the trio form a friendship and hunt for the treasure that is supposed to be in Jim's great uncle's old house.

This is a very favorite series from childhood on, and I just love meeting the characters again for the first time. They aren't quite themselves yet, and can be annoying as a result. Just know they grow stronger from their friendships by the next in the series.

Dungeons &amp; Dragons: Temple of Elemental Evil Board Game
Dungeons & Dragons: Temple of Elemental Evil Board Game
2015 | Adventure, Exploration, Fantasy, Miniatures
Good play mechanics and a ton of miniatures
This game plays as a distilled version of D&D and really does keep everything you love while losing some of the role playing and complexity. Hey, sometimes you just need a good dungeon crawl and this certainly won't disappoint those looking for just (and I mean Just) that. There's a little bit of character leveling but overall its a randomized dungeon with random monsters and treasure. Lots of pretty good miniatures to use during regular D&D doesn't hurt.
