  1. Editorial RPG Codex Editorial: Darth Roxor on the State of RPG Writing

    The most accurate term I've heard used to describe this phenomenon would be "neo-positivism". You're a Pollack, you'll know what that implies. :D I know what you were getting at here, but the use of the term "postmodernism" to describe it doesn't jive well with me either. I mean, for me...

  2. Game News GOLDEN BABY RISING - Grimoire Released!

    Oh my. ITZ HERE. :O Posting for posterity, tautologing for tautology.

  3. Codex Interview RPG Codex Interview: Daniel Bill on DEMIURGOS: Path of the Leviathan

    Crap, I missed the Kickstarter for this. :( It sounds like a game Slavoj Zizek would make. :D Totally hoping this gets made, will be on the lookout for further news.

  4. Completed Let's solo Baldur's Gate 2 on Insane (feat. The Codex)

    I salute the effort, have been following it since Day 1. How time flies!

  5. Let's Play RANCE 5D: The Lonely Girl (NSFW)

    Always happy to see Rance and his glorious days.

  6. Is "kill all enemies"-win condition too prevalent in battle systems?

    I personally liked the system in Gothic - in "kill or be killed" situations, f. in. when fighting a wild beast or fighting someone who's intent on killing you, killing the opponent is necessary. Otherwise, you could simply beat each other unconscious (and then the loser would get robbed - or...

  7. Dungeon Rats FAQ

    It's probably because the game's tone is, in general, pretty grimdark, and Miltiades is a good source of laughs (through tears and gritted teeth).

  8. Dungeon Rats FAQ

    Miltiades is simply fun. Also, he's a person of most noble character - I mean, in the end, he always gives you what he promised (he'll just keep you jumping through further hoops to get it :D).

  9. Dungeon Rats FAQ

    *Achievement Unlocked* "Miltiades' Friend - Never Pay in Advance (Loser)" EDIT Or perhaps "Miltiades' Friend - Failed Your Streetwise Check (Pre-order)"

  10. Dungeon Rats FAQ

    Yup, I loved playing AoD as a hybrid character and using nets et. al. to sow chaos within the enemy's ranks (f. i. netting/hitting Dellar with a bola to the face at the end of the Teron IG quest).

  11. Dungeon Rats FAQ

    Sure, but once you do that, people shall cry havoc "OMG COMBAT'S SO RNG IT'S BAD BAD BAD I'M A VERY FRUSTRATED INDIVIDUAL". I actually think that combat balance between RNG and determinism in AoD is very good; pretty much the best of any game lately. F.i. bolas are in limited supply, so you...

  12. Planescape Torment walkthrough - no longer a virgin

    You don't get HPs when levelling in a class whose level is lower than that of the highest class you've got (I assume fighter), until you surpass it. Afterwards, you should start getting your HP on once you get there. Loving this thread, makes me want to replay Torment and brings back a lot of...

  13. Game News Dungeon Rats, Iron Tower Studio's Age of Decadence dungeon crawler, officially announced

    I remember trying to set up a Polish translation project for AoD on the ITS forums, but then totally vaporewared on it once I decdied that managing shit is simply not my thing and chose to focus on other stuff. Bits and pieces of it should still be in the translation subforum on the ITS website...

  14. Horrifying fate in RPGs - the more horrifying the better!

    Keeping One of Many and Safiya in the party at the end of MotB (not the ultra-evil ending, the semi-evil one). In the ending slides, One of Many kills Safiya out of spite. Tales of Maj'Eyal has some pretty rough stuff in there too. For instance halfings being dicks to yeeks, and, say, the story...

  15. Game News Age of Decadence development in the final stretch, release on October

    Well, we've already got one historian-novelist among our ranks, so... Just think of all the edgy jokes you could put there.
