    Prodigal is pretty good. It's kind of like the old 2D Zelda games (specifically Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages) but has lots of modern design goodies like non-linear progression, challenge modes, and tons of postgame content (mostly in the form of new dungeons). The sequel, Veritus, comes...

    Orcs have been redesigned as seasonal strawberry pickers who need hawks to hunt for them.

    Flesh and Blood

    I got absolutely annihilated at nats. 0-4 in CC, 2-1 in draft. I was completely under prepared for CC this season compared to last season and it showed up in a big way. Gonna play side events the rest of the weekend because there's no way I'm registering for the Calling with this deck.

    The Definitive Escape Key discussion thread

    Escape key should always close UI windows before clearing target. Here's my ideal priority: Close most recently-opened window. In the case of a shop where bags are automatically opened alongside the merchant window, close the merchant window first. Cancel cast/channel of ability. Clear target...

    Flesh and Blood

    I've resolved to take Nuu to US Nationals. She's having a good weekend at Vegas right now but I think that as more people learn how to play against her, she won't do so well. Still, I'm pretty comfortable with her and I think with a little luck, I can do well. I opened a lot of Part the...

    The D&D thread

    If you use the same action twice, you get disadvantage. This discourages pumping all of your action points into attacks and you'll probably end up having one left over.

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    Things have been extremely slow. I've been lucky to keep working but most people I know have not been. Things should pick up somewhat once IATSE is done negotiating contracts this summer but I don't think we're going back to the insane amount of work we had during the pandemic.

    Deadlock (New game from Steam - unannounced)

    Valve making a new version of Monday Night Combat was absolutely not on my radar.

    Flesh and Blood

    The golden packs are a box topper for 1 in 20 boxes. They contain two alternate art Spectral Shields (they look like the normal Mistveil Spectral Shield tokens, but can come in different colors like red or green) as well as a rainbow foil version of Enigma, New Moon. However... there are...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I remember the devs saying that this game was not going to even have PvP focus so I imagine it's not going to be balanced at all.

    Flesh and Blood

    I ended up getting 2nd place at an RTN and qualified based on Elo (I really farmed at the Calling) so I'll be going to Minneapolis. Debating between taking Uzuri or Nuu. I think Uzuri got a pretty meaningful upgrade with Just a Nick, but Nuu might have more overall power. Here's all the new...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    RTWP is a farce for Pathfinder. You can have it on for trash battles but turn that trash off when you actually need to be tactical.
