    Rpgs with good psionics.

    After playing thousands of hours as an wiz in kingmaker, elden ring, bg1/2, g1/2/3 and etc, I want some variation. I want to play as a psion. Among all dnd games, I think that only Dark Sun Shattered lands and Wake of the ravager allows you to be a pure psionicist. This is obviously not...

    Icewind Dale A good crpg YouTube channel?

    I know in the general forum there is a thread about YouTube channel, but I'm looking for a good channel for cRPGs. It's ok reviews, analysis, documentary or gameplay. Gameplay playlist recommendations also would also be great. I don't know that many channels especially for crpg. Mortismal is...

    Indie Unannounced cRPG and major title from the developers of Black Geyser set in the same world (Yerengal)

It won't be Black Geyser 2, it's not time...

    Heroes of the Seven Islands - Hand-drawn tribute to classic RPG and comics

    Heroes of the Seven Islands will be published on Steam early 2025. It is a (poorly) hand-drawn tribute to classic role-playing video games, such as might and magic 3-8, and franco-belgian comic albums. https://discord.gg/x5RgFnp3CC Feel free to ask me anything, I would be glad to answer...

    Champions of Krynn or Pool of Radiance?

    It's finally time to get on some gold classic which I never played before. But which of the two should I choose? Also, is anybody able to tell me if the Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures is compatible with the custom modules? The community is still active! http://frua.rosedragon.org/...

    Vapourware Ironmode games

    Designing a game around Iron man mode and to only be played with the Iron mode seems natural for a crpg. It's good for role playing since you can't save scum.

    If I really enjoy Underrail, which games should I look into?

    For some odd reason I am unable to enjoy party based RPGs (cRPGs?) due to the party mechnics, so I picked up Underrail and highly enjoying it. I like the fact that nothing is handed to me on a silver platter, and with some patience, I am able to progress (solving/thinking). With this in mind...

  12. Hello, new to site and looking for recommendations for crpg

    Hi guys, I'm new to this forum and I was thinking I could ask you guys for some recommendations for CRPG games since it's a genre I'm really enjoying but can't seem to find a lot of games that I actually thoroughly enjoy. For reference I am a really big fan of the original Fallout, I really...

  13. Looking for an old CRPG.

    In the game the player will choose one of several female characters as his wife, one of the women is a skeleton, later will change back to living human form. The game is probably before 2010.

    Various CRPGs I like

    I don't know how to title this or if this is the right place to post this but I want people to know: Classic Fallout Modern Wasteland Kenshi Death Trash Disco Elysium (I haven't played much of it yet though) These games are awesome and inspire me to make my own setting which I hope can be used...

    Most useless cRPG companions.

    Who do you consider to be the most useless and insufferable companion in any cRPG? I mean the most absolutely dogshit companion you know. Here's mine: 1. Garrick. This motherfucker is about as useful as a kick in the groin. Seriously. Have you guys ever bothered including him in your...

    CRPGs with high companion count.

    Most non-Japanese RPGs when it comes to party size stick to the 2-6 format. With a few outliers like Dungeon Siege with 8 characters or Wasteland 2 with maximum of 7. But were there ever any game that tried for the LOTR (TM) sized party of 9? Or bigger? What Western or European CRPGs with...

    Naval battles in RPG's. Good examples(UnderRail) and awful examples(PoE2)

    Ship and naval based combat are part of RPG's since the original D&D. Many retroclones have rules for this type of battles. That said, cRPG's aren't different and many offer naval combat. The best example of naval combat in a CRPG that I saw so far is the jetski in UnderRail. 15 types of Jetski...

    Decline Character creation screen starts with race selection or worse

    In a Pen & Paper RPG, at least when I used to play, you'd start to pick your role in the party. And the role was basically your class, sub-class and skills specializations Fighter (Tank or damage dealer) Rogue (A lot of specializations possible, from party's "face" to Assassin with a lot of...

    Incline What would have to happen for a 2nd cRPG Renaissance?

    For discussion purposes, the first cRPG Renaissance is largely considered to be between the mid 90s to the early 2000s. Games would include seminal works such as Fallout, Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate, Arcanum, etc. While cRPGs are still most certainly a niche genre, over the last few...

    RPG's with great cryomancy/hydromancy/etc

    I have a topic to discuss necromancy in RPG's ( https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/best-necromancy-on-rpgs.130867/ ), Other aspect of magic which I really enjoy is the cryomancy, hidromancy and similar stuff. Recently, I tried to do a Azata Cryomancer(Elemental specialist - cold) run in PF:WoTR...

    Which retroclone/OSR game would you wanna be adapted into a CRPG?

    My vote? Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea, because it offers : More cohesive fictional world and very conanesque More unique subclasses. You can play as really unique classes, like a cataphract, cryomancer or a runegraver. A lot of cool adventures to play Amazing artstyle. Just...

    What determines the immersion of a RPG?

    I can't just write a definition, however, IMO there are a couple of things which increases the immersion. Mechanics and lore being in line and making sense in the context First person perspective Music fitting the ambiance. More realistic or gothic artstyle. High lethality(except in few...

    Why psions are so rare in RPG's?

    I just don't get why. We got a lot of AD&D/2E adaptations in 90s and the unique CRPG which allow psion PC's is the Dark Sun games(Shattered Lands/Wake of the Ravager which is a bit underrated imo). None of the 3rd edition D&D adaptations from 00s allow psion PC's. Temple of elemental evil, nwn1...

    Water is the most underrated element on fantasy.

    Is very common to allow players to summon fire, earth and air elementals but no water elementals. Most of infinity engine games and even some modern games like Solasta has this problem. In fact, during the chapter 5 of the underdark of BG2, when you use the "freedom" spell to do the quest of...
