Has HASBRO/WoTC contracted Obsidian to do a D&D setting game using the PoE engine?
No.
Is there an actual new D&D game that is actually TURN BASED and isn't shit?
As Jarl mentioned, Realms Beyond is an isometric, 2.5D, turn based rpg based on D&D’s 3.5 OGL. They’ve said they’ll release all tools and assets so ppl can make their own modules. Wow...just made myself hard typing all that.
Has anyone taken the Forgotten Realms: Unlimited Adventures model, and brought this to 2018? (Yes there is Dungeon Craft, haven't checked that for a while....).
Iceblink Engine is in 2.0 last time I checked. I think they even have added a first person mode to make it more like FRUA. Sadly the main thing holding it back are engine appropriate assets as
The resolution they use is 100X100 for regular character icons.
slowdive might be able to update on progress.
There was a codexer who was making a module based on NWN OC original design document, and he was using assets he found on the internet. The screenshots were super impressive. Unfortunately, seems like the links are down.
What else have you missed? Hmmm
-Some newtard baited codexers by saying FO3 > FO2 and made it like a 50 page thread for some reason. I tried spamming WH40K pics in KC’s honor but I got bored and stopped.
-MCA dropped a bunch of gossip about Obsidian
-PoE2 is apparently much better than PoE1 but seems it sold worse.
-There was a Codex Dawn of War tourney that kind of fell apart IIRC. Was fun to watch
RK47 ’s videos on that.
-Dark Underlord banned me for a week for drunkingly asking to self eject and then saying never mind literally the next morning. Oh and he failed to realize this until a montj and a half later. #dumb
-I pinged you multiple times and you failed to respond due to so many hours you’ve been playing in SOTA.
2018 has been a slow year for rpgs and good games in general. I think a lot of ppl are looking forward to Pathfinder Kingmaker but ither than that it’s been pretty quiet here, so we’ve amused ourselves with making silly Site feedback posts about stupid shit and tacos.
TL;DR Nothing much has changed.
