I give in to peer pressure so easily. Added a second and third choice but I’m jonesing for a good classic D&D experience.
Quill18 (i know he's not everyone's cup of tea!) has been doing a Gnome Fighter/Illusionist play-through on BG Enhanced edition the last week or so. If anyone wants to know what the EE looks like.
I gotta be honest, there are enough QoL improvements in it that I might well just pick it up in the steam sale. assuming it wins of course.
(Vote Tyranny you heathens)
Fake news! Recount! Reeeee!
Hmmm. Original Edition or pick up the EE in the steam sale. Decisions decisions.
Possibly I need to play Arcanum first.
That's disappointing. What awful thing is next? The Jags win the Super Bowl?
The dilemma of waiting out the console release verses making do with the PC release begins. The former is more preferable. The latter provides a longer window of opportunity for completion, and conversation.
As always, thank you for running point on this thing, GB!
See you guys in three months.
Looking forward to mine, supposedly, arriving tomorrow.
Hoho! Geek overdosing here...
The mysterious package awaiting me at home just got a good bit less mysterious.
Mine arrived weeks ago and I was so thrilled with it. Enjoy folks!!
Just got mine.
It's beautiful.
And now I will stick it on the shelf and resume reading the digital version on my tablet, where I can't damage it.
Yeah, that's a great book! Enjoy.
What is that book and where can I buy a copy?!
Spread over more than 500 pages, The CRPG Book: A Guide to Computer Role-Playing Games reviews over 400 seminal games from 1975 to 2015, covering the role-playing classics we all know and love such as Ultima, Wizardry, Fallout and Mass Effect – all brought to life with vibrant and engaging in-game images. Each entry also shares articles on the genre, mod suggestions and hints on how to run the games on modern hardware. The book is completely by written by fans, AAA developers, indies, journalists, modders and industry personalities such as Chris Avellone, Ian Frazier, Scorpia, Ferhegón, Richard Cobbett, Brian ‘Psychochild’ Green, Durante, George Weidman and Tim Cain, to name but a few.The CRPG Book: A Guide to Computer Role-Playing Games comes as a hardback as standard and uses thread sewn binding for extra durability. Each copy is then shrink wrapped. The cover features a specially created artwork by fantasy artist Jan Pospíšil.
In line with the project's non-profit nature, all of the author's profit will be donated to the Vocação charity in Brazil, where the books author, Felipe Pepe comes from. Vocação helps kids and teenagers from poor areas to get education and employment, who then go on to help others around them to do the same, changing the community for the better.
Bought it based on recommendation from here. Lots of good memories. I bought two, not sure if the second will be a present to a friend, or to my local library. Decisions, decisions...
Thought this article/list might give people some ideas for the next round of nominations: https://rpgcodex.net/article.php?id=...
That’s...... an interesting list. Some good options for future play-throughs though!
However any group that thinks Dragon age: Origins and the original Witcher game are better than Pillars of Eternity is a seriously niche group.
Edit: All is forgiven as they have Space Rangers plugged down lower in the list. Oh man I loved that game.
I'd say the same about any group that thinks Arcanum is the #4 CRPG of all time. Not that it has no value, but ... #4? Even as they recognize that it "remains more of a design concept than an actual game, since so little of what is implemented actually works"?

Yeah, "The Codex" is full of grognards but some very interesting picks made it into the list: Dark Souls, Mount&Blade Warband, Prey, etc.
Thanks to this Club I played Arcanum and have completed 8/10 of their Top 10 (missing PS:T and Gothic 2).
