    Incline GRIDMONGER — a new free & open-source cRPG mapping tool

It's intended to aid manual mapping via an efficient keyboard-driven (and attractive!) interface. Ladies and gentlemen, I present you "bbbbut there's Grid Cartographer bro, why did u bother...

    Grimoire V2 Short Review (or is it V3?)

    I thought it was V2 but Game version is 3.something. I'm not going to babble about the game roots or the history of the game's development or whatever else, it has been covered already and it's not my thing anyway. What I'm going to do is to list what I like and what I dislike, nothing more and...

    Incline Roe R. Adams III

    Roe R. Adams III was the first person in the world to finish the legendarily obtuse Sierra Hi-Res Adventure game Time Zone, which shipped with six double-sided floppy disks and contained 1,500 screens you had to go through to beat it's many puzzles. There's a Digital Antiquarian article that...

    Incline Butthurt Dungeon: Thac0's Ultimate Blobber List

    Preamble: The codex currently lacks a unified blobber recommendation list. Various lists exist, but none of them are curated. The aim of this thread is to categorise those of those blobbers that matter: Those that are worth playing. I did not play everything on this list, the goal of the list is...

    Mapping and notes (pre-contemporary)

    Ladies and gentlemen; I've decided to play some ancient stuff, but I don't know how to start (illustrating my mediocrity: I've always been a console player [from "Oblivion" to "Divinity Original Sin 2"]; the oldest wRPG I've finished is "Baldur's Gate" [but the game is, pretty much...

    Wizardry What is the best mainline Wizardry game?

    Legacy of Llylgamyn is underrated AF. It rebalances and perfects the system from the first game, while adding new weapons and enemies. It's easily the best game in the original trilogy.

  12. Advice for trying out some older RPG's

    Hello all, I've read some codex articles over the years but never posted before. I have a question I'm hoping you can help me with. I'm rather young, 27 years old, but I've never had a problem playing older video games until somewhat recently. I've been trying to get into some of the older PC...

    Recommend me a cRPG blobber like Mordor/Demise

    First, let me say I am not a huge fan of the first-person tile based blobber games, although I have played several... Might & Magic X, Legend of Grimrock I/II, one of the Wizardry titles. But we have a problem! None of the titles I am aware of quite scratches that blobber itch that I have...

    Wizardry LP

    Howdy all, it's been a while since this cycle of abandonment from yours truly has continued, but I'm looking for a reason to play something other than CK2, and I finally have a stable internet connection again, so I was thinking of running a Wizardry I LP. Most likely I'd be using the DOS...

    Which Series Should I Play the First Game of First?

    I'm in the mood for some blobbing lately, and I have a couple days until I start my New Vegas replay, at which point blobbers have to take the side burner (as in I only play them late at night) for a while. That being said, I want to start with first entries first, so Wiz I or M&M I? Assume I...
