    Invincible

    Brit "saves" rex in the comics. as in, shows up after to bring him to the hospital. hand missing, shot in the head still happens. Shrinking ray was a dude, and did die in the comics there. Kate actually married Immortal in the comics. she does die in the Lizard league attack. Brit is a...

    thats a good point, and I think possibly why I remember NWN base campaign more fondly. checking a walkthrough, I am blending hordes of the underdark into nwn's base campaign into one story in my head I think. If you had asked me how the base campaign ended, I would have said, with you know who...

    been too long. I wouldn't be really able to judge them fairly. I definately liked, shadows of undrentide, and hordes of the underdark. I also liked NWN's base campaign with Aribeth though.. its not beloved by most these days. I don't think i played any of the "premium modules". really not...

    ha. yeah, in Shadows of undrentide I was 100% playing a shadowdancer. hordes of underdark, I think the sd again, and a run with a red dragon disciple. the shadow dancer was fun, as it gave me a lot to do in combat. stealth, in and out and positioning. and traps, etc. since I was playing the...

    Trying To Remember a Dungeon Crawl Game From The Early Years

    so, lets be sure. it wasn't a dungone master type game. so not Eye of hte beholder or dungeon hack. it was top down with icons, like a spiderweb game? was it a spiderweb game? exile, avernum, blades of exile? exile 2? https://www.freegamesutopia.com/game/exile-ii-crystal-souls/696/ wow...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    The thing is, Larian made campaign creators for both Divinity games, and it completely tanked. That they DIDN'T bother with bg3 is telling. but at the same time, BG3 being even more massively successful, now would be an opportunity to try yet again, with a mountain of cash. as an expansion...

    Trying To Remember a Dungeon Crawl Game From The Early Years

    god damn, that sparked some 100% forgotten memories. pretty I had played that or a clone and completely forgot about it. the 3d view is not sparking memories, but the window based object/spells, and party info is. as well as automap. oh, god yeah. someone has had to remake this for modern...

    Trying To Remember a Dungeon Crawl Game From The Early Years

    when you say, main antagonists, you mean they actually talked or something? what kind of visuals? pixels, 3d? now I'm drawing a blank.. I was going to suggest icewind dale 2, had you fighting hill giants, firegiants, icegiants, and in particular, there was a town being attacked by said...

    Trying To Remember a Dungeon Crawl Game From The Early Years

    96-00 would be much much later I would think. ps1 was in 94. 3d gaming as the norm by that point. I mean, there were retro games at that point as well, and roguelikes always a thing. I think we'd need to pin point the date a bit better. the problem with much of those older games where...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    pretty sure larian has been thoroughly infiltrated. They were never a studio that would be able to resist the indoctrination. They were 100% the type to just accept it without question. this is kindof standard Larian procedure. they made a big deal about wanting to go solo to make Divinity...

    nice vid by Mortismal. GoG brought Alpha protocol back yesterday. Always a nice reminder. "support" Gog when you can. always check it before steam. GoG doesn't just provide a platform. they actively curate the games to ensure they play on modern machines. they have unofficial patches etc...

    Dunno. thats the version that came to me. Could be due to it being part of the 2000's indie explosion, or simple that it was up on steam for free a few weeks ago. mz is the current version yea. Exodus on the NES I think might have been my first real rpg. hard to say. The early days for...

    some more thoughts on this. I think he undersold the importance and impact of NWN. the modding, and online play. Secondlife, etc comes from that community. Also, the modding of NWN, custom campaigns, etc was massive. That and morrowind. which both were 2002. its odd he didn't talk about...

    yeah, I've talked about it, and linked videos. but like many gamers were more console gamers so didn't see it, or just in general you might not have really noticed it till you put them side by side. And see Dragonquests combat menus, right next to Wizardrys, and its just. holy shit. Dq's...

    i do enjoy icewind dale (2000) more then temple of elemental evil. (2003) toee was 3.5e interestingly. set in Greyhawk, not Faerun. there is a main story in icewind dale. very few sidequests. what side quests there are, are basically all in line with the main. starter town is a tutorial. then...

    Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver (2024)

    yeah, Dawn of the dead was written by james gunn. I consider that zacks best movie. Watchmen is visually great, but fucks up the story a bit too much. lots of producer on that. I think Zack could make good movies with a great source/script/writer, and likely a pretty hands on/visionary...

    I didn't really talk about it, but I also was doing some other rpg roundups myself. I did talk about Tyranny. unfinished masterpiece. I got about 50% through Might and magic 9. 9 was 2002. much like ultima 9, it killed the series for the most part. released buggy, and unfinished. it...

    Yeah, still pushing through. I don't love it. Icewind dale 1 thoughts. its a grind. The return to 2e is fairly interesting at times. The leveling is interesting. as I noted, character exp tables are not even. which is just fascinating. as they shift. my party is at 230,000 exp now...

    This thread was of course prompted by the discussion in Damsel. the barbarians was brought up, heres the actual trailer. While I had talked about Sorceress. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sorceress_(1982_film) Sorceress is on amazon prime. via freebee. so is deathstalker 2...

    80s Sword and Sandel / Sorcery / Scandal - 80s fantasy guilty pleasure goodness

    I think including the good ones with the bad is fine. as well as the general stretching from pure fantasy to Arthurian legend, etc. just maybe talk about it a bit, explain which kind of movie it is. sword of the Valiant was the 1984 version of Gawain and the Green knight. this on clearly...

    yeah. Dark souls. Sept, 2011 Skyrim. nov 2011. dragons dogma may 2012. Raw numbers skyrim crushed them both. but, both also just totally dominated the coversations. DD did actualy sell almost as many games as Dark souls, around 2m. I've actually tried to get into DD twice. neither time...

    should note also, if you ARE going to keep crypto on exchanges, or hotwallets. the same idea applies. don't keep it all in one place. ah, the long standing traditional firm of Binance. founded in 2017. moved its holdings, and offices through 6 countries in 5 years. very trustworthy.

    Another bizarre 2e thing from icewind dale. A turn is 10minutes, a round is 1 minute. A turn here is primary an out of combat concept. a torch lasts 1 turn, a lantern needs refueling. a 10min turn to search for traps, etc. also, every combat is considered to take "one turn", regardless...
