You know I want a good solid Turn Based mondblutian cRPG with full party creation.

You are given an excuse to kill monsters and loot treasures to go forth and have fun with your custom team of murderhobos.

I am tired of the muh artistic writing; muh enlightened personal expreshun; muh deep philosophical themes and muh emotional engagement.

The kind of crap from inept circle-jerking hipster types who fail at writing novels and making movies and want to shove their shit down my throat by marketing their abominations as rpgs.

Fucking done with it.

(of course it can be done well; but the exceptions are few and far between)

Any good solid mondblutian crpg which is TB and with full custom party for murder and treasures out there? or coming soon?

Since I am really starved for a fix of this; I can even accept single PC crpgs like underrail.

(Played the xeen MoMs; Wiz 6 and 7; ToEE; Etrian Odyessey series, Paper Sorcerer and most well known blobbers)

Right now I am playing etrian odyessey V for 3ds emulated; but the weaboo artwork is slowly killing me.

You can always look back and play Aethra Chronicles, Knights of the Chalice, Dark Sun, Goldboxes, Nahlakh and Natuk.

Lords of Xulima maybe, don't know if you included it in catch all of most well known blobbers. A bit of stretch but you can create your own party in Expeditions Viking, combat can be a tad stale at times but the game is awesome. Have you played Blackguards, you can't create your party but you can fully develop them however you choose beyond the initial investment.

Swords and Sorcery: Underworld - M&M inspired blobber made by a dev who posts on the codex. Sequel coming soon (TM).

original avernum triology, exile series, geneforge series

Did you play Nethergate?

Lords of Xulima is a blobber with isometric exploration.

Voidspire tactics is a tactics game with interesting mechanics, but keep in mind it has SNES JRPG graphics. But the gameplay is solid and fun. I'd check the codex thread if you're on the fence. It also has a sequel called Alvora Tactics that I haven't played yet.

Dungeon Rats is a party based version of Age of Decadence that's basically a dungeon crawler. Hence the name.

Also, some beautiful madman is recreating IWD in the ToEE engine, and it currently has a demo if you wanna give it a whirl. You must have a copy of both ToEE and IWD for it to work though.

Finally, you have various FRUA module available for download if you enjoyed the Goldbox games. Plus, don't forget there were sequels made to Dark Sun.

That's all I have off the top of my head.

I played sword and sorcery underworld, nethergate, LoX, Dungeon rats, voidspire tactics and also alvora tactics (made by voidspire dev).

Ragequit dark sun wake of the ravager after losing savedata due to some bug. Not sure about any other sequel to dark sun shattered lands.

IWD in ToEE sounds like incline; will keep an eye out for it.

FRUA modules; hmm never played them. So something to look into i guess.

Honestly, ToEE is must play in my opinion. Some fights are a slog, but overall, it's implementation of TB combat is great.

A "pity" you already played Blackguards. I (admittedly somewhat to provoke offense) call it the best RPG of its decade. It has full party customization (if not outright creation) and is almost solely focused on being "P&P Encounters: The Game". The main part of the game just gives you hand-crafted encounter after hand-crafted encounter of goodness.

I really wish more of these low budget RPGs focused on doing one thing and only one thing, but doing it well.

But Prelude to Darkness is so much more than merely killing & loot.
True but there is "no muh artistic writing; muh enlightened personal expreshun; muh deep philosophical themes and muh emotional engagement" in it. It's just a good RPG with a decent story that wasn't written in a manner designed to include as many cliches and tropes as possible. The magic was getting the game to run smoothly, I wish there was some repository of all the different versions released because I remember back then finding one that played nice with your system was more trial and error than picking the latest version.

Also I am still waiting for the developers to release the source code. It's going to happen any day now right I mean how long can one man stretch a single weekend?

You haven't mentioned M&M X Legacy.
Try it if you haven't yet. Best M&M after Xeen IMO.

Also you mentioned "well known blobbers". Does this include japanese ones, like Elimnage Original and Gothic?
They are pretty good if you want to kill stuff and figure out mazes.

Edit: On the other hand you've been picky about theUI and the Eliminage one isn't... the best use of a computer's assets.

Visit nearby dumpster, it worked pretty fine - just a crash or two every hour - on the Win98.
