    Helldivers II

    The fliers are annoying, but it's absolutely infuriating when I kill one flying at me and the momentum of its flying corpse crashes into me - killing me. It's happened at least half a dozen times.

    Hate and disgust is all I felt when I saw that video. No exaggeration whatsoever. I want to see ALL people with that mindset crushed.

    Dragon's Dogma 2

    I tried to play Monster Hunter a couple years ago, but instantly refunded it when I realized you can't rebind keys. I've played on the right side of the keyboard (directional keys) my entire life and I couldn't play a game using WASD if you had a gun to my head.

    Helldivers II

    I held off buying this for a couple weeks, but now I'm level 35 and I really enjoy it. It's not something I can play all day, but I look forward to an hour or two every couple of days. I almost exclusively play tier 8 and it seems to be the sweet spot for me with pugs. 7 is too easy and 9 has...

    The D&D thread

    I watched the first episode but I won't be watching another. I can understand that some like it, but I hate campy 'D&D' content. Maybe if there was more D&D-like epic storytelling I could appreciate the goofy shit once in awhile, but quality fantasy material is exceptionally rare.

    That's rough. My condolences to you, your group, and his family. Before I share, I want to say that I'm definitely not trying to make your tragedy about me. My story is more about shared experiences. That said, my current group also had someone pass about a year ago. He wasn't a close friend...

    Ashes of Creation

    In a nutshell, I've been cautiously optimistic for a couple years and I haven't seen anything that moves the needle either way. Though the fact that they've hired a lot more people and production hit another gear in in late 2021, was a good sign. I don't have any doubt that the game will be...

    No single thing was particularly egregious. It was the sum of all the little mistakes that made it garbage. The situation that I'm referring to played out over two sessions and it was something that the campaign had been building up to for over a year, but when it happened, I choked. In the...

    For those of you that DM, have you ever had a session (or two) that made you wonder if you're actually cut out for the role? I've been a forever-DM for 30+ years and generally confident in my ability to run a game, but my performance in our last 2 sessions has been objectively terrible and it...

    I don't remember the RAW, but I think it's a minute and that makes sense because it keeps players from hot-swapping magic items in combat.

    The Division 2

    I haven't played it since the month of its release, but when it came out I played it religiously for about a month and a half until I got bored. Obviously, I don't know anything about any DLC or patch content, but I'd absolutely recommend checking it out. Especially with it being so heavily...

    The D&D thread

    You're absolutely correct. Because D&D completely depends on social interaction, everyone at the table will make (or break) the game and the difference between a 'good' group and a bad group is night and day. However, in my experience, I've found that 'bad' groups are usually poisoned by one or...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    That really doesn't mean much. You, I, everyone have a lot of thoughts about a lot of things that don't come up in conversation because situations where it makes sense/worth the time to talk about them are rare. Despite how much I've enjoyed BG III I've only had one conversation about it in...

    It was likely a Fighter, but a bit hard to pin down without more info. Do you remember if it was from a sub-class? Also, was it an extra damage die on any hit or on a crit? It would also be a great help if you knew roughly what level the ability was granted. Hell, even if you were only able...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The last time I logged into WoW was in 2016, but today I re-subbed because the game has been getting a lot of positive hype. I looked around for about an hour and logged back out. I wish it could, but WoW just can't capture my attention anymore. P.S. Fuck Blizzard for making me rename a...

    Soda is a fucking tool with a personality that's more abrasive than being ass-fucked by a cactus and 99% of his 'crew' are just as annoying/cringe.

    Marathon - Bungie Extraction Shooter

    I genuinely hope the first ones shown the door in the recent layoffs were members of the pronoun mafia. Hate is not a strong enough word for how I feel about 'people' that buy in to that worldview. In my opinion, the world is better off without them because they've conspicuously shown that...

    Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (CRPG)

    I know very little about 40k lore, but Iso-RPGs are my favorite type of game and Owlcat has made some magnificent additions to genre. So, I'm extremely excited for this game. However, the massive number of post-launch patches that both the Pathfinder games required is going to keep me from...

    Everquest Confessions

    I only saw Thott a handful of times so I really don't have any idea. My time in AL was when EQs popularity had started to take a hit and the oldest heads were showing up less and less often.

    Everquest Confessions

    Reading this thread makes me realize that my experience playing EQ was wildly different than a lot of people here. I spent time in several top-end guilds: Afterlife, Township Rebellion, and Hoss but I never used ShowEQ (or anything similar), never got banned (or even a warning), and never had...

    Marvel Heroes 20xx

    I never played this game hardcore, but I really enjoyed it when I'd go back to it for a couple weeks every few years. I was genuinely surprised and sad to see it fade away and if a reasonable clone can get off the ground I'd definitely play it.

    Insomniac's Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 releasing Oct 20th 2023

    I have zero doubt the gameplay is fun, but I'm not paying for it. I know pirating doesn't move the development needle much, but fuck 'em.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    If you didn't like DoS II and highly skeptical of BG III (arguably two of the best RPGs ever made) then the genre just isn't for you. I didn't like some of the slapstick comedy in DoS II. In fact, it grated on me pretty hard, but the game is so good I couldn't help but look past it. BG III is...

    My group survived the Beholder encounter, but just barely. They had a couple key saves at moments a failure would have snowballed into a TPK. I didn't want them to die, but I definitely wanted to challenge them by providing an encounter that was memorable and I'm pretty sure I did that because...

    Ya, there was definitely a window where it would have been worth it, but I don't think that's true anymore. However, I could be wrong. I don't have my finger on the pulse of the economy of it, but it's already tempting enough as is so I don't want to know....lol

    I've resisted the siren's call for 3-D minis. I have to or I'd probably have spent $20k on those alone because I wouldn't want unpainted minis and I can't paint for shit. So I'd be forced to have them professionally painted. My wife tolerates me buying books, but a lot of it has to do with the...

    Tonight's session was a fuck ton of fun, but it ended right as initiative was rolled. The group is facing a named Beholder (significantly more powerful than a standard one), a Brass Golem, and an 11th level Duergar Cleric. The Cleric is off-screen because the file with him in it was too large...

    I apologize for the slow response, but it's not because I was ignoring you. I just haven't visited the forum in a bit. I'm not much help anyway because 'special' or premium dice have never had any appeal to me. I literally have nearly $25k in physical D&D/Pathfinder material, but I've spent...

    Kinda. I have an excel spreadsheet that I've been running numbers on. The problem I've found isn't that I can't find a solution, it's that I am having trouble finding a simple solution. For now, every way that I've managed to make it work is just too complicated and the bookkeeping would get...
