It’s really cool to see that Neverwinter Nights was someone else’s first real “oh shit” moment about video games. Back when the game first came out, I was a kid struggling with a bad family situation, and I found my happy place in Neverwinter. To this day, I can’t really describe what an impression that game had on Read more

How I loved Neverwinter Nights; and I can’t even explain why. For hours I would create characters, and that over many years... I never finished it. Jeremy Soule is an amazing composer Read more

I’m taking it as this was a playable party member we don’t know/remember because in a trip to the past we accidently killed his ancestor. So he went poof, Back to the Future style. Though honestly I don’t remember the CT gang killing many humans in the game so idk how this all works out anyway. Read more

Except Dungeon World. Change those rules too much and you’re not playing Dungeon World anymore. I’ve played a few games with different people and some insist on altering the game to suit their vision of it, and it just takes away from what they players expect from the game. I’ve knowingly altered the rules by placing Read more

That man was and I pray remains, a gift to this world. Play on Lieutenant, show those space-nazis what for. Read more
