Playing any other games during downtime?

[Everbright]

Recently played Pilgrims by Amanita Labs. Small puzzle game (around an hour for first playthrough) by the creators of Samorost and more recent games. Decent casual game, nice hand drawn art. Game mechanics are fairly simple and could work as inspiration for a homebrew tabletop game.

I got a $0* promo license for it earlier this year via Epic, and it looks like GOG has the game+soundtrack currently for $1.75.

Thankfully, the $0* promo licenses via Epic (10Cent) don't require using the official Epic launcher app, which is corporate sludge. Instead you can grab licences via the website, and download the games via unofficial launchers like Heroic/Legendary or Playnite.

*I say $0 instead of 'free' because 'free' implies no strings attached. 10Cent wants user data. On plus side, a fair few of the indie games are playable offline from the executable file itself. That's almost-free.

I ended up firing up the smoker and smoked a half brisket, a dozen chicken breasts, and polish sausage.

I know its a lot, but it's a big barrel and I'm not going to waste wood and time just smoking a small bit.

I will be living the Texas BBQ dream for the next week.

Almost wins Best-In-Thread post award. Just needed KC BBQ to get over the finish line.


Oh, right, topic... My old standby = original Diablo 2. Gotta play enough to keep my characters active.

If you like BG series or Neverwinter Nights series, Check out Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2.. old school Obsidian made it. They are awesome.. Pathfinders is also another good one, both games are on par. Once again I will say if you love fantasy WH , just google Return of Reckoning, very good for those that love PVEVP... 6 races, 4 classes each, follows normal trifecta, dps,tank,heals. Each has 3 different trees to change play style. Im just getting into it fully, but man when you see it and play in the RVR fights, you know you are in Warhammer.

So that is the relaunch of the original Warhammer MMO? I remember enjoying it. It had some innovative ideas that appeared in later MMOs. But eventually the population dropped low enough the PVP experience became untenable and eventually the game died.

Yes from a private server. Devs add new content all the time and new Events.. It's better than the old WH online.

Well cool I'll check it out. I always wanted to play my White Lion or Battlepriest characters again.

Just check the site out, Return of Reckoning, read the forums and check it out at least for the time we get until things get fixed here.
