    Anime inspired by games

    I'm not sure where to post this hahaha There are other anime inspired by D&D and other RPGs from the 80s or 90s? Or even early 2000?

    Why do so many people think that OSR = low level only? The average TSR AD&D module is a LV 6 to 9.5 adventure, according to Wikipedia.

    I'm just curious about so many people who like to dictate how other groups play OSR games. I see so many people wanting to limit the level of other groups. Don't get me wrong, if you have been having fun playing for years at LV 1~3, have fun. What I don't like is when people try to dictate how...

    Baldur's Gate So... Which Studio Should Replace Larian As The Developer of Baldur's Gate 4?

    Less than a month after news of Larian Studios announced it was moving on from Dungeons & Dragons following Baldur’s Gate 3 to explore new ventures, Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast have assured fans they are seeking out a studio to make Baldur’s Gate 4 already, so it is worth discussing which...

    My Dream RPG Setting D&D&D... Has Anyone Done This Yet?

    I've always dream of making a fictional setting that is essentially a Tolkien-esque/D&D-like planet (with elf, dwarf, orc and the like) that occurs in the modern age where the technology level is equal to our own (Smartphone, social media and such; very little sci-fi or too implausible tech)...

    Ruins & Riches - Ultima Online and AD&D ultimate SP/MP mash up

    So a while ago while looking something to get my Tibia/Ultima itch off my back without having to play online with other people, i found about Ruins & Riches. This "game" is based off the Ultima Online engine, something called RunUO, made by a single dev called Djeryv, now to call this a labour...

    Gold Box Knights of the Chalice 2 classes shit all over Kingmaker's mess

    After replaying Kingmaker and trying to make some good mercenaries, I noticed martial classes don't offer much interesting mechanism and after realizing this, I also realized casters were also way more interesting in KotC 2.

    Decline The best of the Infinity Engine games

    Let's settle this once and for all. Which was, over all, the best of the Infinity Engine games? The choices include all content up to and including the final patch - meaning the entire product. 'EE' denotes the 'Enhanced Edition'. Which are later, separate versions all together. You get one...

    Gauging Interest in a Play-by-post OSR Dungeon Crawl

    So once upon a time I ran a PbP game for about 2-3 years here on the codex with about 6 people. It was the first time I'd ever tried to run something like it and it eventually morphed into a "live" game with some of the folks I'd met in that thread (and we're still playing FWIW). In any event...

    Why D&D 2e is the BEST edition ever.

    TL;DR list : High lethality. No "cr 2" monsters capable of soaking cannon balls like on 5e. Nor high level enemies that aren't threatening. Low easy to track numbers Class diversity with kits Class restrictions on races. Eg - Manlets like Dwarves, Hobbits halflings can't be glorious magic users...

    On D&D adaptations. Which lv range do you prefer?

    I know that some games offer lv 1 to 20 campaing, in that case, see in which range you spend most of your time with the game. For eg, PF:KM has a lv 1 to 20 campaing, but unless you are soloing with no XP share, you only have low level gameplay on the first chapter and first half of second...

    "Tiers" on 5e. Only I really hated it?

    On 3.5e and previous editions, the power growth was more linear since they established that lv 1 is a guy who learned a class few moments ago and is completely novice. 20 is the peak of humanity and anything above 20, superhuman, levels was more akin to "attributes". 5e is different. The idea of...

    Greetings everyone, With the lockdown plus the fact that I'm soon moving to an area when I don't know anybody and will lose my current D&D group, I'll have time on my hand to play some D&D. My experience: I have been doing TTRPGs and LARPs for about 18 years now. I started with AD&D2nd, 3rd...

    Ring of the Ruby Dragon, first in the HeartQuest series

    Back in the 80s TSR decided they wanted girls playing D&D, so they published a spin-off of the Endless Quest series, HeartQuest, with an emphasis on romance in addition to the adventure. I managed to get my hands on the first four. Apparently books 5 and 6 are very rare. And for the first four...

    Warlocks on RPG's. Which one do you prefer?

    here are many definitions of warlock. But for this topic, i will define warlock as a otherworldly version of a wizard. Just like a druid is a natureish version of divine caster. Often their eldritch knowledge involves becoming a apprentice/servant of a otherworldly being. They are not clerics...

I'm rather young, 27 years old, but I've never had a problem playing older video games until somewhat recently. I've been trying to get into some of the older PC...

    CRPGs based on or inspired by OD&D

    ...and similar offshoots/clones but excluding AD&D/modern D&D stuff. I was reading about OD&D and its more recent clones (like Swords & Wizardry), which made me wonder which CRPGs were based on them (instead of AD&D, be it because they were made before AD&D or because the developers liked OD&D...
