    DDO (D&D Online)

    The changes are too sweeping to post here. There's nearly a dozen Lamannia (Test) posts on the official forums that lay everything out.

    DDO (D&D Online)

    I know we don't have a ton of DDO players, but for those of you that occasionally pop in to check things out, there's a patch coming in the near future that is going to dramatically shake up the entire game and character builds.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I hit 130 a couple weeks ago and have started the grind to max AA. All in all, after going from 1-130 in the new era, I feel there's enough of the EQ that I remember to have really enjoyed the leveling process and look forward grinding AA. The lower APM is quite relaxing and I find myself...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Despite not having played the game, I find the buff duration issue irritating. I understand their perspective insofar that they're trying to promote a world where players need to regularly interact with each other. Furthermore, I imagine that they don't want the issue that EQ has where you have...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    To be fair, I'm not in the Discord channel and my only exposure to the game comes from here and the vods, but there does seems to be a large amount ass-kissing for the MnM team, but there's also a lot of people calling them complete retards. Impossible situation, really.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I still don't have a single minute played in this game (waiting for release), but I do watch each of Shawn's vods. That said, a fair number of the design decisions seem to follow the same way I used to approach running my D&D campaigns. Which doesn't surprise me at all given how heavily...

    The Blood of Dawnwalker

    I remember playing Pathfinder: Kingmaker and failed a timed quest I wasn't even aware that I was on. It resulted in the game just flat out ending. Normally, you can reload a save to fix the problem. However, the circumstances were such that nothing I could do would fix it and I lost 50+ hours of...

    The Blood of Dawnwalker

    Unfortunately, this is true. I was incredibly optimistic about this game, but now I won't ever buy it until it's deeply discounted. Even then, it'll probably just get thrown in to my graveyard of games that I'll never actually play. I have so many options I can't be assed to slog through a...

    The D&D thread

    Yep. I backed the Kickstarter. When designing the system I use, I took the best elements from 10-15 different sources and tweaked it until it was balanced and made sense.

    The D&D thread

    Crafting in 5e (as well as 5.5e) is one of the systems that are sorely lacking in scope and depth. They feel tacked on and video-gamified. Because of that, I spent a ridiculous amount of time designing my own gathering/crafting system that is both engaging/rewarding for the players, but doesn't...

    I've had both of these games on my Wishlist for a long time. I may just pull the trigger.

    Battlefield 6

    Despite putting in thousands of hours in to the BF series, I never played 2042 -- so I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to. I Googled it, and I guess 2042 had some sort of solo/co-op mode with bots? BF 6 has several modes that also have bots. Casual Breakthrough has 64 players, only 16...

    DDO (D&D Online)

    I did all of Myth Drannor, but skipped Chill of Ravenloft because the server lag during the server transitions was unplayable. However, the new expansion in the Underdark really appeals to me and they've solved the lag; so I plan on running through it (and the expansion I skipped).

    What are you playing?

    Yep. I bought it a couple weeks ago based on some reviews somewhere here. I spent hours playing it last week. I just got to the part where you can garden. It's a great game.

    Everquest - Live Servers

    So I've been playing somewhat casually on Live for a few months now and the game has changed a lot, but it's similar enough that it's enjoyable. In some ways, it's worse than expected, but in a lot of ways, it's much better. I've gotten far enough along in the expansions where the evolution of...

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    1000%. I genuinely don't get the appeal of watching streamers play games. Some people say that it's because the streamer is entertaining and the game is just background noise, but who the fuck are they talking about? ALL streamers are faggots, lame, weirdos, insufferable, or some combination of...

    Xbox Megathread

    In total, I've played about 20 minutes of Gears across all the games so I really don't have a grasp on how it's supposed to feel and look. I can always do without the butch lesbians, but the Gears showcase seemed decent to me. What did they fuck up? An aside -- I think every development studio...

    Xbox Megathread

    The Fable showcase looks like absolute fucking trash. It's another DEI infested pile of garbage with characters that talk like they're 21st century millennials. The 'funny' quips wore out their welcome 10 years ago and they just make me want to see those characters get killed in the most...

    The Legend of Vox Machina

    Just a reminder that the new season has 3 episodes available. Here's to hoping for less butt-stuff jokes.

    Anyone familiar with this IP? To me, it just looks like faggoty, modern-audience, 5e trash, but it's got 14 million fucking dollars in backing.

    Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 remakes

    The BioWare of old doesn't exist anymore. You can't really want them involved after Anthem and Dragon Age: Veilguard.

    I never did play The Final Shape, but I think the campaign is probably worth $3.

    Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 remakes

    Only the barest of bones details are available, but apparently they're already out of planning and in development. Given that 98% of modern studios are completely infected with blue-hair psychopathy and WotC did a running backflip over the shark a decade ago, I am not optimistic. We can only...

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    I've never been a massive Destiny fan, but I genuinely enjoyed the 450ish hours I put in to Destiny 2 over the lifetime of the game. I was the definition of casual having only ever done one raid and never played with anyone but my best friend. Being the casual that I was, my only real...

    I've tried watching Goldfish videos that have an interesting premise on several occasions, but I simply cannot stand Olive's voice. It fills me with a hate that doesn't make any sense and I last about 90 seconds.

    Everquest Legends

    I went back and re-read your post and your meaning isn't as clear as you're suggesting. Regardless, unlike some of the pricks here, I am not above apologizing when I'm wrong. I'm sorry.

    I still play BF 6 fairly regularly, but it's just ok. I've been spending most of my time in Casual Breakthrough leveling weapons.

    Secrets is a man cosplaying as an ugly woman. The only pronoun necessary is he/him. Also, in a picture I saw that he has a wedding band on. Is he married? If so, is it to another dude cosplaying?

    Everquest Legends

    You weren't even talking to me, but fuck off in the most unpleasant of ways. I'm not going to go in to a long diatribe but, 10 years ago, the vast majority of us whom are now openly hostile to the trans debacle (and faggots like you that support it) were more than willing to accept those...

    I've been diving for 25+ years and if what little bit they showed in the video is any indication of the larger area they filmed in, there really wasn't that people would find interesting to watch. It's unfortunate, but objectively true, that diving is only super-appealing/beautiful in very few...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    Lied to? Hardly. The game is still in development, the designers are trying to create what they feel best aligns with their 'vision,' and none of them promised you (or anyone else) that it was going to reflect your preconceived notion. I can absolutely understand people being disappointed with...

    The D&D thread

    How long have you been DM'ing? Also, if you're running published adventures and not making significant changes to the combat and other potentially 'deadly' encounters, the characters are effectively immortal. Starting stats for my players really don't matter much to me as long as they're not...

    Yeah. I don't see any reason why we can't cover it here. D&D is basically synonymous with TTRPG.

    What happened to..........(FoH Poster)?

    That's one of my very, very old usernames, but it's obviously from my time in Township Rebellion. I haven't been a member of FoH since day 1, but I did register within a few months of its birth.
