    Any single-player RPG where I can build my char around DoT (damage over time) spells/skills?

    I'm just curious, because I played lots and lots of RPGs but can only remember DoT builds being viable in MMOs, notably WoW: Affliction Warlock and EverQuest Necromancer. I can only remember DoT being "viable" in a single player game, in Diablo 2's "poisonmancer," in Two Worlds 1...

    Old College Project: Dungeon Crawl

    When I was finishing my degree in Information Systems Programming (back in old 2020) I had to take a basic Java class. The final project required us to create something with I/O capabilities, but it was fairly open for anything you wanted to do. In a 2-3 week span I created a very basic Wizardry...

    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?

    Good MMORPG's in 2024?

    So I recently decided it's time to stop playing WoW: Classic era. I'm kinda disappointed by endgame being so dominated by GDKP shit and goldbuyers and the whole thing being completely normalized by the community, people are not even ashamed of doing it. If anything I have to defend myself for...

    Worldbuilding>Characters>Plot

    Or, A Simple Primer to RPG Writing. People often bring up romances and cinematic voiced dialogue as elements of decline, but I think the biggest one in RPGs is a focus on characters or plot over worldbuilding. If I recall RPGs that really stick out in my mind (Fallout, TES, D&D, etc, etc), what...

    This Fall is going to be the greatest fall in the history of RPGs

    Dragon Age: Veilguard, Avowed, and VtMB2. Possibly others. My popcorn boner is so hard right now. It's like if a dozen Redfalls all dropped at once. Title pun intended. edit: I didn't make the poll.

    Incline Making an 80s themed RPG

    What ideas do you have for an 80s based rpg? To quote Frank Lopez: "Chicas, champagne, flash." Turn based or real time? What about the morality system? Maybe you get to play as either a dutiful and honorable detective who prefers to arrest and apprehend criminals, or a more morally flexible and...

    Which RPGs play well on Steam Deck?

    With no keyboard, I assume anything third-person works and anything top-down is a nightmare. Early Fallouts would be playable with the touch screen, but I doubt you can make Gold Box D&D games function, since even if you get DOSBOX to run, you would have to rebind every single key to a...

    Why do RPGs, even indie ones, not make use of more immersive sim elements?

    It seems like only Larian actually bothers to have immersive sim elements, and even then larian doesn't utilize it all that much in most of their games yet. You'd think it's not that hard to implement being able to destroy walls, move objects, etc. especially if the game is a 2D rpg? Some...

    Games to challenge conceptions of character?

    What RPGs are there to challenge PCs concepts, convictions, stories, etc and seeing them change?' I'm more interested in mechanics and frameworks than just advice. I've played Pendragon and Dogs in the Vineyard a long time ago and they were great at this. What else is out there?

    Badur's Gate 3 vs WOTR

    Some discussion are already popping about it , and because neither of those games will ever be finished, now might be a good time as any to discuss this topic. In mind, it's somewhat interesting because they're a clear divide in the gameplay philosophy. Disclaimer : I'm only in act 1 of BG, so...
