Game News Exclusive Reveal: Realms Beyond, an upcoming fantasy RPG from the developers of Chaos Chronicles

[Major_Blackhart]

This caught my eye, so I'm cautiously optimistic and hopeful.

 

[Sarastro]

This all sounds very cool and promising. It is especially great to see that there is another game that uses OGL.

 

[a bear named spigot]

shouldn't it be Realm's Beyond

 

[Bumvelcrow]

shouldn't it be Realm's Beyond

I hope they change the name - it's a bit boring. I suggest Demons Realm's. I didn't particularly like the name 'Chaos Chronicles' either, so I'm willing to act as monocled consultant.

turn based eh? Probably turn out shit

 

[Andhaira]

Cool, seems like it's the closest thing to new D&D game on the horizon.
Damned, I'm stareved for such a game.

Never heard of Pathfinder Kingmaker? https://owlcatgames.com/

The only things this one seems to have over that is that this is turnbased and has JarlFrank on board, and those are two very big things. OTOH Kingmaker uses Pathfinder and looks damn good, even for a RTwP game. Could be the Baldurs Gate III we never got despite the lies of Pillars of Eternity

 

[circ]

fuck right off with your rtwp shilling

What the hell is JarlFrank doing there?

You have to understand that modern game development has changed considerably and these days most studios hire somebody to transform his own frustrations at being short into some sort of deluded narrative regarding the superiority of his race.

 

[ERYFKRAD]

This game does have Barbarians right?

 

[Chrio]

This game does have Barbarians right?

Yes, it is made by Bavarians.

 

[mondblut]

What the hell is JarlFrank doing there?

A token white cishet male kept around for the sake of muh diversity? (and to have someone safe to file sexual harassment complaints against)

 

[Dorateen]

Traditional fantasy, turn-based combat, full party creation. What are we waiting for?

First video has got some serious Icewind Dale atmospheric vibes.

 

[Delterius]

Fuck no. Go big or go home. Overpromise and show some ambition for fucks sake.

This caught my eye, so I'm cautiously optimistic and hopeful.

See what happens?! MADNESS.

 

[Fenix]

*expressing moderate enthusiasm and cautious optimism*

 

[JarlFrank]

Sup guise what's going on in this thread?

 

[FeelTheRads]

How do Hobgoblin's feet smell?

 

[Jack Dandy]

What are you doing with these suspicious Bavarian men?

 

[JarlFrank]

Developing a game!

 

[Jack Dandy]

In what manner, exactly? Are you a weaver of word, or a coder of... code?

 

[Modron]

Obviously he is the art director.

 

[JarlFrank]

I do worldbuilding, writing, quest design, and some level design.

I'm also the official Codex representative cause I know how to communicate with you angry cunts

 

[Modron]

How long you until you denounce us?

 

[JarlFrank]

I will always be a part of the Codex. I'm not going to go all sea or Brother None on you. Codex is my family

 

[Alienman]

Always start like that

 

[Korron]

I will always be a part of the Codex. I'm not going to go all sea or Brother None on you. Codex is my family

Speaking of which, is Brother None still riding the InXile death spiral back to the days of making sweet games like Choplifter HD and moving inevitably on to their closure, or has he left?

I miss his gamebanshee content. The dude was my rpg news source before I decided there were some pearls of wisdom hidden in the depths of the forums here at the mouth-foaming lunatics of the 4th reich.
