    KickStarter SKALD: Against the Black Priory - retro RPG inspired by Ultima - coming May 30th

    The studios from the age SKALD and its ilk are emulating were a handful of programmers and a few sales people / accountants. They also had to be tech firms to develop a lot of the basic stuff that's now supplied by Unity, etc. Except for 1990s era Origin, they were not larger than modern indie...

    KickStarter SKALD: Against the Black Priory - retro RPG inspired by Ultima - coming May 30th

    None of the classic CRPGs had gameplay measured at 10 hours. Not even Eye of the Beholder, which was on the short side, was 10 hours. That's just tiny. You need to have quantity to have certain kinds of quality (complexity, CNC, exploration, substantial character-building, etc). One advantage to...

    KickStarter SKALD: Against the Black Priory - retro RPG inspired by Ultima - coming May 30th

    Several years of development time, 10 hours of gameplay, physical stuff Maybe Some Day, but hey, at least we get a live action trailer out of it. Budget well spent.

    Incline OSR Games - Official thread

    The old City Encounters was a great utility product - a lot of colour and ideas. I haven't seen the new ones, but it seems much expanded.

    Is that Quake 1? Impressive if yes.

    Looks good!

    Core Decay - an old-school atmospheric immersive sim inspired by Deus Ex

    More a confirmation of long-held suspicions than anything actually surpriring.

    I am sure they would be delighted to, so please mention this to them as often as possible.

    Incline OSR Games - Official thread

    Their historical art book was decent, but I will only trust this once vetted by people I can trust. WotC's Year Zero-style approach to D&D's past makes this automatically suspect even if Jon Peterson did it.

    Mystic Land: The Search for Maphaldo - Old school RPG inspired by W7 and EoB

    Very tasteful. Both the Wizardry VII vibes and the Kyrandia high fantasy look (e.g. on the cottage) are looking strong.

    Thief fan missions and campaigns

    This is, indeed, not just incline, but the incline of the incline. I posted a spoiler-free review based on the beta-test. (This is for a tabletop audience, but gives a general idea) If you like Thief, you will like this campaign. :hype:
