    The D&D thread

    @Hoss I'm familiar with nearly every spell in the game so tell me a rough idea of what you'd like your character to be able to do and I can point you towards some options. Also, are you guys using the 2014 or 2024 rules? It matters because many spells were buffed/nerfed. Even if what you'd like...

    DDO (D&D Online)

    Thrane (US) and Shadowdale (EU) have the highest populations, but also crippling lag. Cormyr (US) has a lower population, but not nearly as laggy. It depends on how confident you are the lag will be fixed. The entire purpose of moving to the 64-bit servers was to fix it, but SSG is one of the...

    DDO (D&D Online)

    I still play, but not regularly. I tend to play in spurts of a few weeks then take a couple months off. I haven't played any of the new Ravenloft expansion because the 64-bit servers are in a sorry state.

    Welp, the most recent Unearthed Uncana sub-classes can't be anything but Dark Sun, so we're going to see some kind of Dark Sun product next year. I have hoped they'd steer clear of my favorite setting because there's 0% chance it doesn't get completely destroyed. Here's to boss-bitch...

    That art is from the communist fever-dream Radiant Citadel adventure anthology. It's no coincidence that book is the lowest selling 5e book of all time and the only one I haven't purchased. I completely recognize that I am part of the problem in that I buy two copies (normal and alternate...

    By the way, does anyone have a Kara-Tur -- The Eastern Realms box set in good shape they want to sell me? It doesn't have to be 100% complete, but I do want all the booklets and maps. I don't care about the promotional material or the plastic grid overlays. It's the only box set that I don't...

    Sorry about my slow reply, but here's what I found: 1. The Emerald Spire (Pathfinder 1e/basically D&D 3.75) 2. Dwimmermount (OSR) 3. Castle Whiterock (Goodman Games) 4. Abomination Vaults (Paizo published for D&D 5e) 5. Temple of Elemental Evil (D&D 1e and 3.5e) 6. Halls of the Mountain King...

    I do, too. Reading them also provides a DM with tons of material to mine for ideas. I've never run a published adventure, but I have taken a huge number of core ideas from many of the published modules that I own and heavily modified them to fit my game. I do the same thing with mechanics and...

    I have Barrowmaze. Arden[sic] Vul rings a bell but I can't place it. Barrowmaze is a quality dungeon, but I tend to avoid megadungeons (particularly the OSR kind) because: 1. They often veer into the super-strange and/or goofy gonzo stuff and that's what turned me off of Rappun despite it being...

    Starfinder:afterlight -tactical rpg

    100%. I absolutely love fantasy Iso-RPGs, but there aren't nearly enough of them that cover other genres. Unfortunately, I have absolutely no doubt that this game is going to be completely insufferable. Paizo is a completely lost company -- nearly every senior staff member is a Leftist woman...

    This George Floyd simulator didn't do super-well, but it still sold too many copies.

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    I'm not particularly tied to using shotguns. From reading the Officer skills, it doesn't look like he'll be doing much damage himself, but I entertained shotgun as a way to defend against stuff that broke through to the back line where the Officer would be giving orders. I haven't played the...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    I've had this game forever, but haven't played it because I wanted to wait for all the DLC to come out since I rarely (if ever) play a CRPG a second time. However, the next couple DLC aren't scheduled for release for another year so I'm just going to run it with the two that are currently...

    Spartacus: House of Ashur

    I laughed way too hard at this one: "My name is Diversitus Equitas Inclusias. Single mother to a kang. And I will have my reparations in this life or the next!" *edit* Goddamn, I guess everyone came across that one. I suppose that's what I get for replying to the thread before I finished...

    I haven't been visiting FoH lately so I am way behind. To your point, I wasn't trying to take anything away from Larian. I 100% agree with them being a fantastic studio. They've made some of my absolute favorite games. The issue is that other than the SSI, Black Isle, and early Obsidian D&D...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    I run a 7900 XTX at 1440p and it's going to meet my, admittedly, high FPS standards for at least another 3 years. Also, with 24 gigs of VRAM I could give less than zero fucks about that industry fiasco. *edit* fixed my retard use of meg instead of gig.

    2024-2025 NBA Season - In Bronny We Trust

    Holy shit, I cringed hard. You can literally see his shit pop at the 36 second mark. The guy knew he was on the verge of a serious injury and went back out there anyway. He has my respect, but it's terrible for his long-term future. He'll be out most, if not all, of next year and will likely...

    2024-2025 NBA Season - In Bronny We Trust

    Yep. Indiana has 15 turnovers vs 4 for OKC at the end of the 3rd. You can't win games like that.

    2024-2025 NBA Season - In Bronny We Trust

    Well, 3 consecutive threes will give a team some momentum. Guys like Caruso for OKC and McConnell for Indiana provide so much heart for their respective teams. They don't always have great stat lines, but their presence is massive.

    2024-2025 NBA Season - In Bronny We Trust

    Not so fast. OKC is repeating the same thing they did in game 6. At this point, they're getting outshot from 2, 3, and the line. Indiana is absolutely torching them from 3. If they play the second half the same way, they're going to lose. I live in Norman (suburb of OKC) and I'm not confident...

    The Expanse: Osiris Reborn by Owlcat Games

    Not in the traditional sense, no. The Owlcat interviewee said that ship combat will be similar to Mass Effect insofar that it can happen but it will be more abstracted and driven by narrative choices. Also -- I don't know a whole hell of a lot about The Expanse outside of a couple seasons of...

    The last console I played more than a handful of times was the PS3. I own a PS4, but my total hours on it are less than 50 and I haven't bothered with a PS5. I doubt I'll ever buy another console unless they develop some must-have feature. Unless your friends are sitting in your living room, I...

    2024-2025 NBA Season - In Bronny We Trust

    You can try and lay the entire series at the feet of SGA, but the grace he's been given by the refs really hasn't had a significant impact on the series. In fact, both teams have been getting their share of questionable calls. Anyone who is familiar with the NBA understands this and it's why I...

    The D&D thread

    I'm glad this lameass shit got canceled. The video looks like a Dragon Age: Veilguard clone. If you go down the rabbit hole for the companions, they're all exactly what you'd expect in a 'modern' D&D game. Moving forward, I have almost zero hope that any studio is going to get execute a D&D...

    I can't be the only one who spent a fortune playing this game. There was a cabinet at the 7-Eleven on the corner a couple blocks from my house. As a kid, I can remember spending entire Saturday's there playing Gunsmoke.

    Games would have a lot more profit margin (or simply not cost as much as they do to develop) if they'd cut the bottom 20-30% of performers that exist in literally EVERY studio with more than several dozen people. But they'll never do that because it consists almost entirely of women, joggers...

    I've had it on my GOG wishlist for a long time and have yet to see it go on sale. It's only $20 so I'm definitely being a cheapass. To repent, I'm going to buy the best version on July 15th and lose a month of my life playing a few of the amazing 3rd party campaigns.

    This 'remaster' has been speculated to exist for over a year and I'm glad it's here because I never purchased it on Steam. I have the hard copy, but I haven't built a PC with a disc drive in nearly 10 years and I'd like to be able to easily install it even if it's not much of an upgrade over the...

    The show doesn't run a full minute before they introduce a game with characters using they/them pronouns. Also, when I was a kid I was intrigued by British accents -- as an adult, I am repulsed by them. What a completely lost, cucked nation.

    Arc Raiders

    Yep. I was far, far more excited about the game before the most recent trailer. I'm still likely going to give it a try, but I think the trailer let some air out of the hype.

    The Expanse: Osiris Reborn by Owlcat Games

    I care a lot less about combat than I do other systems and, most importantly, the narrative. The combat in The Witcher and Mass Effect was dogwater but both of those games were/are amazing. If they can nail character progression and writing, I can accept middling combat.

    The Expanse: Osiris Reborn by Owlcat Games

    I wasn't expecting this IP, at all, but I am cautiously optimistic about this. Also, Owlcat is definitely a woke company -- they just haven't been as in-your-face as many others have been.

I haven't finished it yet, but I think I'm close and haven't wanted to put it down. This is a game you can complete...

    DaggerHeart - the new TTRPG system by Critical Role

    That's crazy as hell. I've been subbed to Clownfish for years. I wonder if it was just a random Google search or he has visited FoH before. I have the Daggerheart PDF and it's gay as fuck.
