I think it will, but don't sleep on DoS II; it's easily one of the best RPGs ever made.

I purchased BG III the day early access was released and I spent ~60 hours playing it. I finished everything that was available then, but didn't log in again until yesterday. The game has come a LONG way and it has me incredibly excited for the final product. The initial iteration was good, but...

I'm extremely skeptical of the performance projections this guy believes the 40xx series will produce. It'd be fantastic, but I just don't see an ~80% performance increase happening in a single generation.

I didn't play Outriders until a year+ after it launched, but by the time I decided to give it a chance it had evolved into a truly good game. I haven't played the expansion yet, but I absolutely plan to once it goes on sale for ~15$. I'm not in any hurry as I literally have an inventory of at...

I have to preface by saying that I hate 4e because it felt too much like a videogame. That said, without you being more specific, it's hard to understand what you're really taking issue with, but Counterspell is definitely one of the spells that can create some fuckery. However, Legendary...

That cunt is a British SJW that has a YouTube channel called Come Curious.

Admittedly, I have very little experience with TTRPGs outside of D&D. I've played a bit of Heroes, GURPS, Shadowrun, and some Vampire: the Masquerade, but the totality of it all comprises less than 1% of my experience. However, I do remember the sea of softbacks at local gaming shops, as you...

Absolutely nauseating. Unfortunately, given the fact that I've played D&D for 33 years, I've personally come across (and occasionally played with) the limp-wristed, women-worshiping, beta faggots that would support a product like that. They all fit one of two stereotypes: The morbidly obese...

Not sure if serious.... Well, 4e is the reason that Pathfinder was created because D&D 3/3.5 are considered by many to be the golden era of D&D and the players didn't want a new edition so Pathfinder effectively became D&D 3.75. That's not to say 3/3.5 didn't have issues because it absolutely...

You can find a few 3rd party products published in the 4e era, but aside from that I'm not aware of any fitting your description. 4e nearly killed D&D so there weren't a lot of developers looking to reproduce that system.

RIP Dragon Age. I took a minute to poke around that degenerate's Twitter feed and it reminded me why I don't use social media. The amount of anger and disgust I felt from just two minutes of scrolling was dangerously unhealthy.

I made custom tokens for my party (and their pets) and wanted to share them because I need some place to nerd out about them. I had to spend some time learning to use GIMP, but it was definitely worth it.

I don't want to sound snarky, because I'm not intending to be. I don't hand-wave important purchases and, in this case, I'm 99% sure I got what intended to buy. I just wasn't sure what argument Mist was making.

This is what I bought. You tell me because I don't pay incredibly close attention to the naming conventions of monitors.

I bought in Feb of last year and, in my opinion, there's very little difference between that model and this one. If you're not working with a budget, go with that one, but the 83A-B offers almost exactly the same performance.

I avoid this thread like the plague because there's too much cool shit in it and with my personality, I'd have a man-cave filled with $10,000 in minis (probably unpainted) in 6 months. I only poked in to say that I got extraordinarily close to going to the Dark Side with the Tanares...

I haven't played a Comic book-based TTRPG since Champions 30 years ago. I think it could be a lot of fun, assuming the system doesn't suck.

Magic is insidious in that once it gets in your blood, it stays there like genital warts and occasionally resurfaces. Sometimes years later. As I've stated in this thread before, I haven't played magic, at all, since 2016, but the reintroduction of the Pro Tour got my attention because I only...

I completely agree about the end of the main campaign being lackluster.

Main campaign or DLC? For the DLC I'm playing the very traditional Fighter, Cleric, Wizard, and Rogue. They're all pulling their own weight, but just like tabletop the Wizard is dominating.

I'm not sure, but generally speaking it's easy to tell what's magic by the name of the item. They'll almost have a descriptor like "magnificent" or "beautiful," etc.

I finished the original campaign and now I'm playing through the DLC campaign (just hit level 9). I'm really enjoying it. The only real flaws are the cut scenes are weak graphically and the story lacks depth, but the game feels and plays like D&D and that's what I care about most. At $15, the...

Absolutely. About a month ago I torched one of the creators in the comment section of an update because the 'reasons' they were presenting for production issues were obviously just bullshit excuses. And, just as you stated, several morons blindly came to the defense of the creators. I...

Pure magic-users (like Wizards), in the right hands, are a tremendous headache for DMs because they can literally do almost anything, BUT they require the player to use their brains. As an example - I had a campaign many years ago where one of my players, playing an Illusion/Divination...

I hit 50 last night with leisurely play. Now begins the 'real' game, I guess. I had a question though -- a couple pages back, someone commented that it's common to level 1-50 without using a single healing potion..wtf? Maybe, I'm careless or maybe it's a consequence of me having done every...

I despise Twitch and never watch streams of any kind, but I was curious about the LA drops so I put Soda's stream on in the background, turned it down, and ignored it. However, about an hour in to his stream I couldn't ignore his incessant complaining about the "constant unavoidable AE's" of...

/Laughs in BDO.

While it's possible, in retrospect, it may have been just a bunch of people trolling. I'm actually ashamed of myself for posting anything the morons in chat talk about. Though, interestingly, those same morons made it quite clear that the N-word isn't censored. lol I don't want to believe...

I rolled my main on Azena and apparently it's been dubbed a PvP server. Rumor in chat right now is that Asmongold is coming here. Not that I care, but I thought it was funny how much the chat did.

I made a Sorceress on Danube just to check this and I haven't seen it.

I have absolutely no experience with the game beyond my day and half (about 11 hours) of play, but as a Deathblade I feel like I'm shitting on mobs. Especially when I can attack from behind, but when I watch others play, it looks like everyone else is, too. I don't know if it's a perception...

I'd argue that the leveling process of LA is simply a very convincing and pretty illusion of its gameplay, but it's really just a long tutorial designed to slowly introduce players to the wide berth of systems and mechanics of the game. We all know that games today are designed for the slackjaws...

A buddy and I played together all day taking things really slowly. He chose Paladin, I went Deathblade, and we made it to 25 before calling it quits for the day. We both had a great time and never had any lag or connection issues, so that's a plus. I have absolutely no idea what the end-game...

Something else that I've recently done is implement skills, abilities, and magic items (such as tattoos) that use the character's Hit Dice as a resource to power them. For tattoos specifically, the art functions as the focus that enables the effect, but they have to provide the power source...

To be completely transparent, very few of the mechanics are entirely my own. I have A LOT of D&D content that I've poured over to take the elements that I like, tweak, and put them together in one document. Some examples are: 1. Greatly expanded the skill system to include additional tiers...

I very seriously doubt that any TTRPG is going to ever carve out a niche larger than what Pathfinder has managed, much less unseat D&D as king until the game literally ceases to exist. D&D has dominated the market for far too long. Pathfinder 2e is a fantastic system and the published material...

@Zindan Thanks for the heads up. Is there a good video that showcases the sounds of each class? I know some folks are in to their character's combat sounding like they're constantly trying to keep a tentacle monster from raping them, but I can do without it.

My best friend and I are going to play LA, but neither of us know shit about this game apart from watching a few videos trying to decide which class to play. Already, the art direction has me feeling like I need to take a shower. It's an incel's dreamworld. I settled on playing one of the two...

I backed ~40 D&D projects in '20/'21 and they're starting to roll in. Every week is like Christmas and the production value on some of the books is impressive.

I watched the first three episodes and I agree with the general consensus. 1 and 2 were a disappointment, but I suppose they were a necessary evil. 3 was much better. That said, I wasn't the least bit surprised that 6 minutes in to the first episode they introduced the pink-haired, non-binary...
