  1. Long games or short games?

    I could probably beat Dragon Warrior Monsters 1 and 2 (GBC) in an afternoon with speedup on...yet i've invested more time into them than most full length RPGs. I think there is something to be said for replayability over having a very long main story. Not that there is anything wrong with a long...
  2. D&D replaces races with species

    If you need your game rules to align 100% with your personal sensibilities and convictions you are not really role playing, you are self inserting. I despise this entire debate tbh. So I won't say anything more :ROFLMAO:
  3. D&D's new Open Gaming License

    Watching DnD's slow decline over the past decade has been honestly depressing. I loved this hobby greatly for a long time
  4. D&D replaces races with species

    Dark Sun is absolutely built with 2nd edition logic in mind. Baked into the cake mechanics-wise and likewise with the lore. And I love it! Stay tuned for more Dark Sun stuff in NWN by the way. It's been a long time in the making but that's because the guys behind the technical stuff are doing...
  5. Neverwinter Nights Ravenloft

    Looks great, will try.
  6. D&D replaces races with species

    It's quite depressing how the most insufferable people with the most insufferable, self righteous viewpoints are the ones that have a total stranglehold on western culture and, consequently, game development.
  7. Playing evil on RPGs

    I think it would be a bit more interesting if RPGs let you get led down a path of evil, rather than being born some sort of psychopath if you play the evil side like in many, many RPGs. Let the player be tempted with a few minor moral compromises, better if they can even justify it to...
  8. Baldur's Gate III News

    Cant wait to have grandkids so I can show them the release of Chapter 2
  9. What game are you currently playing?

    I love Warhammer 40,000 so i've been playing two of the tactics RPGs they have released in the past few years. Mechanicus, dealing with the tech-priests of the setting, and Chaos Gate Daemonhunters, which is centered on the ever-popular Space Marines. Mechanicus is an incredible tactics RPG and...
  10. Games you're looking forward to

    What I mean is that most VR-native games offer some clever gameplay mechanics to add immersion and overall play very well, but are all extremely short. I can complete the average VR game in half a day or less. Devs need to take the platform seriously, because it really deserves it. As much as I...
  11. Games you're looking forward to

    I'm still waiting for the first good VR rpg to push the hardware to its limits. It's good for so many unique gameplay experiences I don't even know where to start. I'm a huge fan of Tyranny and I can't help but think how good a setting like that would do. I mean, Edicts are just the type of...

    I'm still trying to figure out what transformations work best with what classes. Struggling in some campaigns on the harder difficulties so I figured i'd optimize some characters. The werewolf works great for hunters or warriors, same with the wereraven. All of the elemental powers are pretty...

    It's worth mentioning that not everything is randomly generated. Although your characters are rolled for you at start-up, you can just click on them to edit their appearance and personality. I did no editing for this team, however. They are who the dice made them. But I have mods that greatly...
  14. Wildermyth

    I'm currently running the campaign that begins with one of your legacy heroes (one who has completed one or more adventures), now grown old, returning to see a grown up son of theirs named Jandin, who fights a friend of his in a village tournament and wins. He doesn't have the best reception...
  15. Industry News / Upcoming Games

    It kills me to think about. All they had to do, all anyone wanted them to do, was release ES6. Nobody asked for online Fallout. Nobody asked for online Elder Scrolls! Nobody asked for a decade-long delay for your most well known franchise but once ESO became a thing I knew it was inevitable...

    I consider the greater offhand options mod a must have, because I like throwing weapons and dual wielding, and the extra races mod definitely worth considering but not necessary, its still in beta and needs some tweaking. But I like what it does.
  17. Baldur's Gate: The Black Pits

    I have always enjoyed the Black Pits as a lab to test out builds I don't ever intend to devote to a trilogy run. Clerics of Talos, Totemic Druids, Assassins, Jesters, All sorts of Cleric types from Deities of Faerun, etc. And honestly I liked that there was some semblance of a story there. A...

    There are multiple main stories, and there are a lot of random events as well. Gameplay is basically a tactics RPG. Each character can move, perform one action, and one swift action per turn, much like DnD. There are only three basic classes, but many different ways to build those classes based...
  19. Wildermyth

    I've not only played it, I have hundreds of screenshots cataloging my runs. Characters can get a huge variety of different powers based on in-game events, they form relationships both good and bad with characters both in and out of the party, lots of mods to enhance the gameplay and expand upon...
