    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I really liked the way Embers Adrift did it: you have a map in each zone that shows basic geography and major points of interest (like towns and ruins) but there's no player cursor so you have to use your surroundings to figure out where you are. There's also no compass but there's a giant blue...

    Abomination Vaults was written to be a traditional dungeon crawl, so it's mostly going to be focused on combat and skill challenges relevant to dungeons. If you're looking for a more balanced campaign, I would recommend Kingmaker (sandbox-ish campaign where the PCs colonize wilderness and...

    Massacre is the artwork I usually show to people when I'm first telling them about the game.

    Yep solo Rogue is probably the most disadvantaged way to play the game. But if you're clever you can still pull off some moves. Now that we have proximity voice we can communicate with other players. What I'll usually do as a solo Rogue is try to make friends with another player if they spot me...

    Dark and Darker

    Rogues can get pretty nutty in PvE with backstab and a good dagger, but you need to have a good dagger. The difference in DPS between the 14 damage starter dagger and a 20 damage white dagger is actually pretty insane when you consider all the damage modifiers (backstab, headshots, armor...

    Yeah but at least it only takes them 7 headshots unlike skellies which take 9!

    As a Rogue, I find the goblins are okay but the beetles are nuts.

    Dark and Darker

    I think there might not be enough escape portals in the solo map. I'm seeing an average of 3-4 pop up each round. That's really low.

    Flesh and Blood

    Almost went undefeated at my local blitz armory with Emperor yesterday. I accidentally mistook the number 5 for a 6 and went in with my whole hand on a Striders turn and my opponent lived by 1, causing me to lose all tempo. Whoops lol. The deck is really good, though.

    Yeah these two cards are really good.

    Flesh and Blood

    I love Assassin in blitz but I think it's not competitive in CC due to almost auto-losing to Dromai and needing to rely on a fatigue strategy to win (in blitz you can go tall with attack reacts but in CC you're fatiguing which means going to time often). The upcoming set features a new Assassin...

    I got top 8 at a PQ! Unfortunately lost in the quarterfinals, but I was happy to make it! It was an extremely high Elo PQ with top tier players such as Chris Iaali and Tyler Horspool, and they were all very nice and congratulated me on getting 8th. My deck was Iyslander hybrid...

    Flesh and Blood

    I had two PQs last weekend. The first one, I went 2-3-1 which was awful. That night I sat myself down at the kitchen table and went over all the fundamentals of Flesh and Blood again. The next day, I went 3-2, just barely losing my "win and in" to bubble at 9th. I'm hoping to do better this weekend!

    It's fun to "check out" from a morbid curiosity standpoint but don't ever actually play it lol

    Sure but it's a better game from a mechanics perspective and you can just homebrew and 3pp anyways.

    My last comment wasn't necessarily referring to your particular situation, but I would caution you that you don't overlook a transgression in one area just because things might be right in another. Virtue is a quality you can't compromise on when it comes to women. It does not seem virtuous to...

    There is a profound irony here. She is (essentially) cheating on her husband and seriously considering divorce yet going to mass? I can only hope that God convicts her and that He sends you a wake-up call. This woman is going to hurt you, man.

    Reborn has some really good changes and some really questionable ones. I could see it becoming amazing once we start seeing mods.

    @Hateyou @Phazael I don't think the endgame elemental bonuses are "busted," I think they were outright removed. The info screens for armor and jewelry don't have any place for damage bonuses, only resistances. It's very bizarre that this choice was made, sort of like how it's also very bizarre...

    You like Ninjas? I think they're even worse than Zerkers. They removed avoidance from Reborn so the Ninja is just made of paper on turns where Steelstance doesn't trigger and gets gunned down by enemies quickly.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I remember there was a guy who did a successful no-hit run of Dark Souls 1, 2, 3, and Bloodborne consecutively. If he got hit in any game, he restarted from the first game in the series. Insanity.

    I deathmarched for Cressida the other day and I was surprised how fast it went. I needed about 30 points and it took me just under an hour to do it. The most efficient way to do it is to go into training with 4 spear Dragoons and 8 level one Galgistan units. Have your Dragoons shishkebab them...

    Rogue is still in the game. You can recruit a familiar that has the class or you are able to (allegedly) obtain the classmark in a shop later in the game.

    Gaffgarion fight can be a big chokepoint as well because even though you have other units on the map, none of them can reach Ramza and Gaffgarion. I don't think there's a save right before that battle, though.

    Flesh and Blood

    Yeah I don't see Spirit staying at a high price, but I do think it's a very good card and a properly played Boltyn is a real deck in CC (albeit with several bad matchups).

    I'm only a handful of battles into Tactics Ogre Reborn and it is just mind-blowing how much better this game is than FFT in both story and gameplay. I don't know how much was changed from the original Ogre but I can hardly believe that FFT came after this game because FFT just does everything worse.

    I wouldn't say that, Prism has the tools to beat pretty much any deck in blitz. She can even race Fai with heralds, that's how crazy she is.

    Well shoot... this weekend is for the Regicide promos and Iyslander just got hit pretty hard. Feels really weird considering Prism didn't get hit at all.

    Yeah I find voice communication is pretty necessary for CC classes. That or you need to type really fast and hope people are paying attention.

    Brigs will definitely be able to solo better, but Marshals aren't bad at it.
