a seasoned DM lets those players go ahead and gives em enough rope to do the job for them

yeah sure go ahead and break off from the party surreptitiously without telling the rest of the gang about deviating from the plan. oh, you're interested in stealing your promised reward early? cool, let's do a liiiiitle sidebar here. grab your dice cause we are gonna do some rolling

It's kinda like how the board game monopoly is pretty fun if you actually play it to the bone ruleswise

the reason everyone remembers it as an interminable slog is because nobody wanted to be the bad guy who bankrupted people lol

also some games got wildly inflated by cheating bankers ruining the economy, also lovely house rules about free parking

Monopoly says a lot about life actually,

The problem is if they spend 12 hours of game time and 1 month of your actual life retrying it

It is actually baffling that you get rewarded for letting volo do surgery on you

I passed on it my first time because it was an obviously bad idea but the second time through I was like "free see invisibility though"

while i obviously had see invis up 24/7, i dunno how many times it actually mattered, a couple encounters where someone tries to use it i guess

I had to respec a character twice to beat the encounter where that demon in the Temple of Shar kept going invisible every turn

Once to beat the dialogue checks before it so he kills all his friends for you, and once to give someone See Invisible so I could actually do a single solitary thing to him

next up is maybe Cyberpunk but I just saw World of Horror 1.0 is up. anyone try it out yet?

I had a whole fuckin' post that just got eaten by the app. Short answer is that if you never played it, it's a really cool looking turn-based computer board game inspired by Junji Itou and Lovecraft. All programmed and drawn (in MS Paint) by a Czech dentist. Most of the music slaps, too. Some of the new art is meh, but most of it works really well.

If you've played it circa 2020 or 2021, there's going to be new stuff for you, but the core of the game remains mostly unchanged. New characters and old gods, etc. There's a giant hell pussy in one of the new mysteries. If you get all of the achievements, you can play as your neighbor, Kana.

If you want to see the new stuff, consider using an old save file because a lot of it is locked behind getting achievements. If you want to play fresh, you could also just make a copy of your old save instead of deleting it.

For more information, check out the horror thread in Games.

Have a cool new trailer (that is not at all representative of how the game plays, lol):

world of horror runs also tend to be p short, to the point they only just added saves in 1.0, so it's a fun sort of lunch break roguelike game

I recommend turning on the option to randomize the color scheme each run for variety

lol a new total war game came out and i haven't heard or seen anyone talking about it

I bought a cd key for it for half price cause TW is my game series, shogun 1 was the first game I ever beat and I've played them all since then.

I got 20 minutes in and wanted to refund but now I can't cause I bought a 3rd party key. When I played I was 0.1% of the player base
