    Anime Are there any Actually Good D&D books?

    About Death's Gate. It starts promisingly and has some highlights, like the Abarrach book -a master class on practical necromancy. But the underlying setting is not well thought -alas, the world is our world resulted from a nucular war, plus some further shit. And the ending is just... Ugh. The...

    The Witcher CD Projekt Red EXPOSED!

    Nah don't fret. They're probably loaded after Bitcher 3, and Cyberpunk also sold a lot albeit with deception. They have the future planned out, so don't bet on them going away, at least soon.

    RTwP is an abomination and harbinger of decline

    Yes, I think that BG's main influences are Diablo and Command & Conquer, two big names of its era. The Infinity Engine was primarily an RTS engine, since Bioware was thinking of doing such a game. The selection voices are a clear legacy of C&C. Fun to think that the worshipped isometric game...

    Shining Force Series

    Shining Force 2 is probably the game of my childhood. I liked it so much, I got most of the secrets without any help. And back then my English was primitive. Back then the games were more aimed at kids. Today, SF2 PEGI would be 12 or less, around the age I was. It was very basic (100 XP levels...

    The fandisk (sequel) to Hoshizora no Memoria, Eternal Heart (HD version) is now available on Steam and Denpasoft. So far, it's like any other fandisk. I recall liking the base game quite a bit, but with the first story here (secret heroine), I remembered the messy setting. Ultimately it doesn't...

    Are drow inherently evil? And other D&D racial restrictions that have been loosened over the years

    I don't think Viconia is a tsundere, she seems pretty straightforward. Also "pornographic" cartoons is a wrong descriptor. So, doubly wrong so far. As for Evil vs good rant. They tried to explain D&D morality, in Book of Exalted Deeds, I think. But to me it sounded too convoluted, and good...

    Ravenloft: Stone Prophet - A Damned Good Masterpiece

    Er, I think that there's level limit per race. Such a hated rule. But yes, you should reach about that level. I recall there's at least until level 6 spells if not 7 (but probably 6). PS: "die by my blade, mortal" is indeed the battle cry of Scorpion Men in this game.

    Ravenloft: Stone Prophet - A Damned Good Masterpiece

    Yes, yes it's a masterpiece. At the time I couldn't get a hold of Strahd's Possession, and now I can't get into it. The last time I beat Stone Prophet was during the pandemic in 2020. Like OP, the ending sequence bugged out. No matter how many times I play, I always run into problems with the...

    You should check other prices over at JAST and see if they're also reduced (regular price for a game is about 20-30 dollars). If so, it's a very nice place for Polish people at least to buy. I seem to recall something about JAST implementing regional pricing, so. But I didn't pay attention...

    We're just not understanding each other, I checked every place and got the same price, hence what I said. GOG has the launcher but I only put it here because I figured Codexers would like it, how wrong I was. Actually, having VNs on GOG (though Itch exists) is nice.

    Cut the trolling, mate, this doesn't work for me. You must be in some Third World Country, and the price is adjusted, I didn't know JAST did that. Lol.

    Arthandas I found your claim very curious, as I figured JAST doesn't like to lose money. And tada: Also you don't know nothing about me, I know every store and have bought games in Denpasoft, JAST, MG, etc.

    Dood, there's a R18 patch (which I am using) right out there in GOG. No need even to go outside of it to get it. All nice and convenient. Other stores are up to par with GOG (no DRM), but the prices are kinda universal. Maybe in sales there is a difference. But since this is brand new, no such...

    https://af.gog.com/en/game/amatsutsumi?as=1649904300 "Amatsutsumi" released some days ago, in some non-Steam, VN-related stores. I linked GOG because of the affinity here. This visual novel leans to tear-jerking drama, at least so far. It's a complete story about a (in truth, two) descendant...

    I got them at Fanatical too for 6-7 euros total earlier in the year. I don't regret playing them -almost no room to get bored, since they're so "compact" and short- but it wasn't very impactful either. Just plain entertainment, nothing crazy. It won't be the best you play in the year, but it's...
