The Gaming Den

On the subject of Diablo style ARPG's, I really like Path of Exile. It's got some great ideas (skills based on FF7 materia style gems instead of class, every single "currency" item is usable for crafting), but it feels obtuse and bogged down in subsystems and is thus brutal to learn . That...

Huh, interesting. Thanks for answering.

"I am a professional GM running a thriving business on Roll20, where my standard rate is $15 per player, per session. At $100 for an expected twelve session play through of Petals and Thorns, backers at this level not only get a chance to play the game as run by its creator, but do so at a disc...

Agreed to safehouse. But also, why are we abruptly possibly addicted to random drugs with no mention of our usage prior to that?

Greens are easy quest? Easy Quest at 14, then?

Agreed!

That's legit super cool. I'm a fan.

@Maglag; not just throne ones, but special site ones. You suddenly have to fort your Libraries because Sages require 4 recruitment points. You have to fort your jade sorceresses because jade sorceresses require 2. It's a massive infrastructure cost increase. I usually want ~4-6 of any random off pat...

What does the Vampire Carrot Body Guard do?

So, brief playthrough of MA Ulm versus ai; Nations that rely on indie mages are getting a serious dicking with the commander recruitment points things. Most Indie mages/throne mages are 4 recruitment points, which means unless you get a castle there (+900gp), you get 1 every 4 turns; with a castle, ...

73k sales?

It seems like the multiplayer communities collectively represent about 1000 players?

What are the 72k others doing? Enjoying singleplayer versus the AI?

Been too busy all week to download it, but finally doing so.

It's not just the Dom3Mods people; The Dom4 Subreddit channel, and the Clockwork Hounds people are all pretty gung-ho about Dom5.

Like...what's a community of players that is still playing Dom4 multiplayer, now, 4 years later, that won't shell out for the update to Dom5? SomethingAwful?

I mean, does the game actually need to get bigger? There is a large enough player pool at the moment that I can pick up almost any game style I want on the inside of a week? The 1100 province game with 75 to all magic sites and crazy mods didn't get the 23 players it shot for, but is going decently ...

Wow. That was astonishing.

"...on the principle that jaw-jaw is safer than fight-fight, especially when you're facing anything as tough looking as a Minotaur."

What? What? Seriously, what is this?

I say fight, we have the luckstone after all.

I've been accused of pact-breaking in situations where a pact was offered and I never answered, but I didn't attack either. They just assumed that I agreed. And then there was that one time you were playing Lanka and I was playing Hinnomnomnom, and you forgot I was your only neighbouring ally who d...

Agreed. Pow Pow Pow!

I vote light as well, but I sort of suspect it of being a false choice, and both paths would lead the same place rather swiftly.

I'm playing a fair bit of Dom4 at the moment, it'll be interesting to see how quickly people switch over.

I'd look at it, but I don't want to create a DriveThruRPG account. How big is file? Upload to Google Files?

Curious; would the Ansalom fight be winnable if you didn't save your two fireballs, or missed with both of them?

Agreed.

Just kill him? Going for the bracelets first seems like a good way to die.

I'll vote Speke.
