    Blobbers - what's the appeal?

    wizardry-style blobbers actually have solid combat flow compared to the majority of grid-based games. the lack of a convoluted movement phase tends to make protracted combat more tolerable despite the diminished complexity imo even in something like wizardry 8, which has pseudo-positioning and...
