  • Try Dynasty Warriors. It’s a genre I don’t see much anymore, but you take control of a general and blast through tons of minions in a big battlefield, aiming for enemy generals to turn the tide of battle (reflected in overall ‘morale’).

    All the games tell the same story of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Obviously just play the last one available, because it has all the quality of life improvements, but I’ll only play 3, because it’s the only one that has Gan Ning with his super-pimp sword resting on top of his super-pimped no shirt tats.








  • stealth archer to the nth degree

    There are some good reads out there about invisibility in the fantasy worlds. I think one of the 3.5e splat books had an entire section dedicated to it (and I can’t find it right now, super annoying). Most enemies, from the lowest tech bandit gang to a king’s treasury, will have some idea about how to deal with it, because they live in a world where it happens, gets routine gossip on, and they’ve probably heard some strange creaks in the night (a tree branch, really) that they just know was an invisible demon creeping around when they were a vulnerable child…

    It isn’t really raining on your characters’ parade to have the people in the world they live in expect things that go on in said world. Businesses and commonfolk alike have likely worried about everything from teleporting frog-polymorphing wizards to hell portals opening in their back room, and probably have some idea about what they think they would do.

    Doors at night would have ceramic bowls stacked next to them, windows might have small screens or strings that need to be cut, any guard that is part of a decent organization will have resources stored somewhere to counter it (faerie fire or more ‘out there’ ideas like create water). I don’t know about your edition, but 3.5e had specific checks that would tip off people that something is around. The sound of an imp’s wings alone is going to be heard anywhere other than a raucous tavern (if you’ve ever heard a bird or bat flying by, imagine something 10x as heavy with leathery wings), because it isn’t a superb owl, after all. Even mundane things would add up. Imagine the classic bell that rings when someone enters through a shop door. It was never intended to be an ‘anti invisibility’ thing, but it sure adds thematic drama to the affair.

    His honest reply about the state of Linux Gaming

    I’m betting it’s far from anything ‘honest.’ Stir up a little controversy (even if it’s as stupid as linux/windows fanbois arguing in the comments), get more clicks and rewards for ‘engagement’ from the algorithm.

    Maybe he is happy with linux as a system, but I bet this was thought over before it was posted.
