    I loved (x) game. Anything similar to it?

    Nice! I didn't know this one. I'll check it out now.

    Good RPGs (or RPG adjacent games) without save/load mechanics but something else baked in

    How could I forget. Good one.

    Good RPGs (or RPG adjacent games) without save/load mechanics but something else baked in

    As per title. Examples: Dark Souls: You don't permanently die as you are cursed with undeath. Used as a mechanic and a lore tie-in. Mount & Blade: You don't die, you run away or you get captured and dragged along until you get liberated (or managed to run away). Wizardry (king of): Your...

    Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I already know of Suzerain. Really feels like there ain't much like the old KoDP.

    Any games like King of Dragon Pass (or its follow up like Six Ages and Six Ages 2)?

    Anime Your LARPing exploits

    I guess my biggest LARP was to play Age of Empire 2 roleplay with friends. We built roads between cities (by blowing up houses) before sending in trades. We did trade agreements, alliances, etc. It was actually really fun. In terms of RPG, I guess I do follow archetypes like MadMaxHellfire

    KickStarter StarCrawlers Chimera - single character cyberpunk dungeon crawler - now available on Early Access - coming May 13th

    I wishlisted to keep it in my radar when it gets out to see reviews, etc. I'm in the minority but I prefer turn-based single-character dungeoncrawler over party-based.

    Dark Colony

    As a kid, I liked this game.

    Legends of the Round Table - a strategic RPG that plunges you into Arthurian folklore with hand-drawn art and medieval music

    EDIT: Okay I checked and sometimes in modern literature, some knights are presented as African because of its roman ties. E.g. "In Bernard Cornwell's The Warlord Chronicles, "Sagramor" is a fierce Numidian veteran of the old Roman army who serves as Arthur's trusted chief cavalry officer, having...

    Incline OSR Games - Official thread

    I decided to (re)start an OSR/D&D/RPG blog in case some people are interested in that sort of stuff: https://open.substack.com/pub/castleandtowers/p/about-dungeon-traps-in-old-school?r=3kazik&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

    In CRPGs, simulation IS the DM, and CRPGs are adventure sims

    I think the headspace/context is important. I remember playing RP version of Age of Empires 2 with friends. We'd play an actual "role", build our civ accordingly, create roads, trade, etc. all with roleplay. In other words, is Monopoly an RPG? No. But within the right 'context', the mechanics of...

    In CRPGs, simulation IS the DM, and CRPGs are adventure sims

    (There is no "Perception" check in OD&D.) I think we have a different definition of both lollygaggin and roleplaying. For me, it'd be: "Referee: You are now bound in old, rusty and cracked chains and let in your cell while the guards are gone. What do you do? Player: Hey, can I break these...

    In CRPGs, simulation IS the DM, and CRPGs are adventure sims

    I'm not sure I get what you mean. Do you imply that the Referee having the capacity to handwave some parts of the game is more lollygagging? If so, I guess I miscommunicated. Let's say we play OD&D, and your level 8 Superhero is bound in chains, with a strength score of 18. Nothing in the book...

    In CRPGs, simulation IS the DM, and CRPGs are adventure sims

    I think it's important to consider the fact that in TTRPG, the simulation by the Referee isn't total and it's based upon his good will. The DM never (or actually I never saw/did this) simulate everything: at some point, he'll just hand wave this or that, or straight tell the player to stop...

    Kingmakers - Go back in time and shoot medievals with modern weapons

    I don't know if it will be good, but I'm even surprised we didn't get this before. Event Mount & Blade has mods for this lol. That being said, I see some cool stuff, like the fact you can switch with RTS mode to control units.
