    Jeff Vogel Soapbox Thread

    The events in Avernum 4 and 5 seem to be filled with generic enemies and monsters of the moment, but these small incidents lead to a growing feeling that the underground civilization is not sustainable and will eventually collapse. This leads directly into the main plot line of Avernum 6, which...

    RPGs Turn 50 - Dungeons & Dragons 50th Anniversary

    I had conversations with Gary on ENWorld before he died. I'm also known as Deuce Traveler on ENWorld, so you can see my discussions with him about a year before he passed. I never met him in person. He also posted some on Dragonfoot, which is a grognard D&D site I recommend.

    His sons Luke and Ernie. Gary has been dead since 2008. He was doing Q&As on ENWorld and Dragonfoot up until his death, and he went by Col_Pladoh on those forums in case you are interested in some of his reminiscing.

    RPGs Turn 50 - Dungeons & Dragons 50th Anniversary

    I just came back from the Founders and Legends convention, since tickets were still available for this one and the tickets for Gary Con had already sold out months before. I had a blast. Some quick highlights: - Lots of older editions being played, though mostly 1E. There were also BECMI, the...

    Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (Yakuza, Judgment, Binary Domain + more!) Discussion Thread

    I finished Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth last night. It's not as good as the Yakuza 7: Like a Dragon, but it would have been very tough to top that game. In the end I had everyone in between levels 50 and 53. At the final dungeon Ichiban was a Hero with some Samurai skills, Kiryu was the...

    Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (Yakuza, Judgment, Binary Domain + more!) Discussion Thread

    I'm in Okinawa now and recently finished Like a Dragon: Gaiden. I felt like playing through some of the Yakuza games that just came out was oddly appropriate because of my visit to Japan. I was definitely in the mood for this game, and it was quite a bit of fun, but it's not one of the better...

    NSFW The Adult Game Thread ***R18***

    I've been hearing a lot of good buzz around that game, too. This dude gave it some rare praise: https://englishhrpgs.wordpress.com/2023/11/16/demon-roots/

    Game News Phantasie series and other SSI classics released on Steam and GOG

    Well this is a nice Christmas present. I have a soft spot for the old Phantasie CRPG games. The series lets you play with a lot of different race and class combos such as minotaurs, gnolls, ogres, sprites, and so on along with the normal fantasy choices of elves, dwarves, and humans.

    MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries by Piranha Games - now on Steam and GOG

    I purchased Mechwarrior 5, and the Heroes of the Inner Sphere, Kestrel Lancers, and Rise of Rasalhague DLCs. And I can now declare that this is the best shit game I've played in a long time. + It takes place in the pre-3050 Inner Sphere, which was my favorite era of BattleTech from back when...

    I played Exile 1-3 and loved them. They were a great distraction during the dark times of the early 2000s. I wasn't as impressed with the Avernum series, but I did play the latest versions of 4-6 just so I could see how the series ends. The 6th and final installment does give the series a proper...

    Steam Deck - cRPGs

    :necro: Rise from the dead, thread. Because my Windows 7 computer is dying, I refuse to further support Microsoft, and I need to repair my Linux rig, I decided to put some money into a Steam Deck. This is my tldr report on the games I've attempted to run: Non-RPG - Among Us. Shows yellow for...

    Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio (Yakuza, Judgment, Binary Domain + more!) Discussion Thread

    I finished Yakuza Kiwami 1 and 2 last month, and I can recommend them both. Pros: + Yakuza Kiwami 1 spends much of the plot introducing you to the characters that revolve around Kiryu and to the location of Kamurocho. It's a nice introduction, though the plot twists ranged from the predictable...

    Palace of the Vampire Queen - is this real?

    The module itself is not very good. But let's face it, it's a first try at publishing a stand-alone module (Temple of the Frog was the first module but included with the Blackmoor set) and an important part of tabletop gaming history. I haven't run it myself, but I think it's cool that the party...
