I would say yes and no. I skimmed a fair number of pages in and it appears to be a pretty standard fare PbP game (that's normally what they look like, more or less). I'm assuming/guessing that Lady Rhian is rolling outside the forum, but they could just be arbitrating which is fine as well. I...

The recent thread about TTRPGs, along with some things happening with my own gaming, along with noticing that there had been a forum game here before has me wondering if there is any interest in doing something like that again. I would run it and use a very simple system anyone can learn in...

It's fine, see, because my character has a dark and complicated back story that totally rationalizes being a fairy rogue/paladin/psychic/lycanthrope. 🤣 My fault, I wasn't clear. WotC D&D plays by the 65% rule. Original D&D was generally more, you knew the risks when you took the job. Nothing...

I'd say that is basically old school gaming. I gamed then and had a similar experience. No labels, no culture wars, just a bunch of people hanging out playing a game and acknowledging that different tables may play by different rules. The only reason I'm not oriented towards keeping on with...

I would say that enshitification has multiple tiers in tabletop at this point. The Mount Everest of enshitification is obviously WotC. I could go into detail on this, but the short version is that their market is highly susceptible to the glam of product design and also quite disconnected from...

That's a good point and partly what has inhibited my New Vegas run. The writing is great, but it's a long game to get it all, and considering a fair amount of the gameplay is clicking on things you want dead, it's hard to find a refreshing way to approach that task. I had been toying with an...

I picked up this game a while back. I started it but then was distracted by life and other games. Truth is, I let myself get distracted because I felt like choice had a lot of gravity in this game and I wasn't used to that. I've played a lot of RPGs, but most of them boil down to a series of...

When I last posted to this thread, I was playing The Long Dark. you can't really "finish" the game unless you die of something, but I got to a point where I was set up to survive indefinitely without any real issues. After that, I went back to my old standby, Terraria. There was a major update...

If your max is 600k, then you could have done 8 levels of thief to still max out at level 10 fighter (500k). You can't really push it further than that since you'd have to sacrifice a level of fighter for more thief levels, but if you went to thief 9, then you would cap out before fighter 10 and...

I used to do some console gaming (NES through PS2), but eventually just stuck with PC gaming. Between being more cost effective (I need a laptop for other purposes) and ease of modding, it just seemed like a no-brainer.

What's FP? First Person?

Have you played CP2077? I've always wondered about that one. I heard it was controversial in quality out of the gates, but that (possibly) they got it together.

That's right! Swashie loses backstab. Well, they're out. I guess it's just the F/T or C/T. As for IWD (if I get analysis paralysis with the BG character and go that route), my new thing is to roll up a party the old fashioned way (3d6 DTL) and just run with that.

I don't know why, but I suddenly have the urge to do another BG trilogy run (vanilla, no EE, no mods/hacks, just the standard patches). This one solo, and with a thief multi. I can't decide if I want to do it with a Fighter/Thief or a Cleric/Thief. I figure the F/T has the advantage of allowing...

I really thought I gamed more this year:

Well, I can vouch for Terraria. I have more hours in that game than any 10 other games combined. 😁

I ended up picking this one up on a Steam sale. I'd really like to play it more, but the control scheme was just insufferable for all you could potentially be managing. If I ever were to get my hands on a USB console controller for my laptop, I might give it another shot, but (as is) it's a...

As soon as I saw the subject line, my first thought was, I bet this is Tenkar. :LOL: I'm semi-plugged into this since I do a fair bit with classic D&D. I say "semi" because I don't care about the industry or WotC but I can't help from hearing about it. WotC is in a more precarious position than...
