    You couldn't crush an empty paper bag. You make DraQ seem monocled in comparison.

    sorinmask , Cael and a few other shitposters have literally tried to build blogs to compete with mine.

    Where are they now? Crushed by my King Content, and deleted. They reverted to shitposter status; lost in the shuffle, and unread.

    I've defined the Renaissance era of RPGs and have coined 100s of terms; invented its language. You are but a gnat compared to my power.

    I don't support drugs or alcohol. Only degenerates drink. That shit is all gateway drugs. Canada legalized weed now they want to legalize magic mushrooms. No one goes straight to magic mushrooms. weed opened the Gate to legalize another drug. Perfect definition of a gateway drug.

    Yesterday they legalized marijuana. Today they legalize magic mushrooms. Tomorrow? Black tar heroin.

    Your time is done, Dragon Lady. You opened the gates for the future with your blog but the future will not include you. You're old news. My blog will not be built to compete with yours. That's the difference. My blogs only purpose is to usher in the Golden age of rpg blogs. sorinmask has shit taste. Cael is possibly the most uninteresting person to exist. DraQ tries some witty retort angle but it's filled with the most generic and least insulting crap I've ever read. You people have been on here too long and lost touch. You look back to the past because that's the only glory you've ever experienced. I look on to the future because that's where the real influence is. They say dragons get more powerful with age but it seems this Dragon is going to wither away in her cave convinced her blog posts about RPGs are actually a horde of gold. Perhaps one day I'll do a retrospective of my own. I'll call it " Lilura, the ancient dragon Lady blogger".

    It's in the works right now. I don't want to release a blog with only a couple posts, You know? I want to release it when there's enough content for people to really dig around and explore it

    Lacrymas, I still can't decide if you being wrong on this one was a blessing or a curse.

    Is there anything comparable to S2 or JA2 that is neither WW2 nor just modern military thing?
    WW2 just no longer gets my dick up, even if it's WW2 with powered armours.

    Gameplay wise it might be something I could enjoy.

    The best thing to do is not to feed it, it thrives on attention. It's not a very good troll, though, it just uses inflammatory language it has no business using due to inferior taste and inability to think in context in order to stir up trouble.

    In terms of isometric + TB, only ToEE can stand alongside those two without being laughed, booed and egged off-stage.

    But you don't like D&D so... or do you want to clarify?

    Also, I'm playing Children of a Dead Earth at your recommendation. However, learning curve is p. steep.

    It actually gets pretty ez once you can build your own stuff, sadly, partly due to stock designs being rather crap, partly because AI is not very bright.

    But realistic space combat and engineering game is in itself megaboner inducing.

    When I think about it DnD license and Larian are a match made in heaven, since DnD covers many of the fault Larian game have
    -Boring locations - not an issue with a licensed setting
    -Lackluster monster selection - no comment needed
    -Terrible itemization - magical items don't go up to 367 in DnD
    -Boring advancement - not an issue with licensed system
    The only thing DnD sadly cannot fix is shitty writing. But I really want to see a DnD game with Larian's environmental interactions. This part sucked even in the good adaptations like ToEE.

    As long as they don't overdo it on the environmental interactions, yeah. Having every battlefield littered with barrels of various types of excrement is not ideal. Itemization is going to be ok as long as they give adequate and unique rewards for quests and exploration, something that is sorely lacking in D:OS1, probably in D:OS2 too. I think everyone agrees the writing is going to be at least cringe. Here's the thing with that, unless they can control themselves for 5 minutes (which I don't think they'll be able to) it's going to be too epic and BG1's sense of adventure is going to be butchered. We are going to be funneled from one set piece to another. Look, a Spelljammer! Now look over here, grand temples! The grand temple is now diamonds a burning fortress of the mindflayers! Quick, escape on the red dragons of the gith! Baldur's Gate, the city, in glorious 3D!!!!! EXPLOSION!!!! DUM dararara DUM dararara DUM tatatatatatata.

    This thread certainly has been redeemed.
    They need to include some of these posts in the game as dialogue choices, like the "rusty halberd" option in BG1. :lol:

    We'll definitely be seeing more of those. Calling it now, BG3 is going to end with a huge battle between spelljammers in space.
