Ha! I heard of this one, but haven’t been able to try it yet. As a huge fan of old school RE games, it piqued my interest. Thank you for reminding me of it. I shall pick it up as soon as I have some free time.

I’ll also mention another, even lesser known title: Kabus 22. It’s an old Turkish videogame that’s clearly inspired by classic RE titles. Not very good, but I have a soft spot for games that were developed with more love than knowledge on game design. Also the developer is a really nice dude who re-released the game for free as a thank you to the fans who reached out to him, and that’s such a sick move that I can’t help but have a lot of respect for him.

There’s a good retrospective in YT about the game here, if anyone’s curious.

And Crawford is an incompetent smartass. I honestly don’t know what any TTRPG would have to gain from including him in the team.

If they hope to chase 5e’s success by following in its footsteps - piss poor adventure modules, nonexistent DM support, unbalanced player options, and a game designer that contradicts himself on Twitter every other post while attempting to explain why he isn’t wrong - then good luck to them, I guess.

I very much doubt that 5e became the juggernaut that it’s now because of Crawford. If anything, it’s despite of him - mostly because of the free publicity granted by things like Critical Role and Stranger Things, and DnD being the default option for anyone who develops an interest in roleplaying for the first time.

My first character was a barbarian who despised magic and made a point to tell every mage in existence that they are bad and should feel bad.

My second character was a grave robber who accidentally unearthed a cursed slab and refused to return it to the owner, resulting in an ancient mummy cursing him. He became a Warlock against his will and made it a point to become strong enough to kill his Patron.

My third character is a normal ass dude who got involved in a situation much bigger than himself. Currently dead set on killing the gods because they suck at governing the world. Also hates magic and refuses to use magical items that require attunement.

My fourth character is a pacifist orc who’s been dead for thousands of years, resurrected by an evil necromancer to do his bidding. The necromancer botched up the ritual and the orc came back with his free will, but unable to die (much to his grievance).

I guess my therapist would tell me that I hate magic and magicians?

Bats trying their best to be edgy and dark, but they are too cute for their own good.

I don’t think it’s weird. It’s just an item from your childhood that you’re attached to for emotional reasons. A lot of people have one of these - be it a blanket, a plushie, a toy, a videogame, a necklace or some other piece of jewellery, etc…

They might remind you of your childhood, or maybe of the person who gifted it to you or someone else whom you knew at the time. I don’t see anything wrong with having attachment to your memories.

When I was 5, my parents gifted me an owl-shaped cushion. That same cushion is still on my bed over 20 years later. Looking at it brings back memories of my childhood, and it has this soft, short “fur” which reminds me of the dog I had back then, whom I miss very dearly. Touching makes me feel like my dog is still with me somehow :)

I see, thanks for the explanation!

I don’t think my app currently works with piefed, but I hope that’s going to change soon and I’ll be able to meet you there.

Isn’t the old community going to disappear when lemm.ee dies?

Will the old posts survive the migration?

“Haha, she’s joking” says Camilla while still wielding a bloodied baseball bat.

It’s not even the worst thing we did.

A group of low-level bandits, desperate to raise some money for their families, attempted to rob us. I’m pretty sure the DM was expecting us to talk them down and start their side quest.

We mercilessly killed them, taking our time to do so. My warlock locked one of them in our pocket dimension and waited for him to die of asphyxiation, then resurrected him, and killed him with again Finger of Death (which turns the victim into a zombie permanently under the caster’s control).

It became my vassal and I treated it like a high-ranking officer. Gave it a nice-looking helmet, too. We had a lot of fun together. During the final battle, it led my undead army (Danse Macabre upcasted to 9th level for shits and giggles) to victory.

I shall not talk about the Fighter and Rogue’s treatment of their respective bandits. I would normally say that death is a better outcome than eternal servitude as an undead, but I’m not sure that’s the case here.

We also bullied the nicest NPC ever to grace our table into becoming a Paladin of Vengeance, but that’s a story for another day.

Reminds me of that one time the village in the forest of spiders asked for our help against the resident spider queen.

We defeated her. And her spiders. And her whole castle. And the entire forest.

The village was forced to relocate elsewhere. The king of a nearby kingdom allowed them to settle in his lands, but they had to traverse the desert to reach their destination. They never discovered it was our fault.

On the bright side, we got the chance to loot their abandoned homes. Plenty of things the villagers couldn’t carry in their odyssey through the desert.

Fun times.

Wasn’t expecting another one, considering how the last one ended.

But hey, I loved the first two games, I’m ready to cry in this one as well.

Björn Ruther has worked on this as mo-cup supervisor and historical advisor, so I’m kinda curious to see the end product! (Pseudo-)Historical accurate medieval games are hard to come by, surprisingly.

I had this on my wishlist for a while. Art style is really nice. I’ll wait and see if the horror component is good as well.

I live in a small town. When I was a kid, my window faced an open field. Now it’s just more buildings.

Lots of insects, birds, during covid a few rabbits wandered the streets. Cats and dogs. That’s all, unfortunately.
