  • WWN is free, so I highly recommend!
    I’ll be happy if you at least take a quick look at other ttrpgs. :D

    DnD is obviously the most famous one by far. The problem is that it’s so famous, most people don’t think that there are in fact other games out there, often with newer ideas and better design, faster and easier mechanics that does not get in the way.

    There is also different styles to consider.
    The combat focused every PC is an unkillable superhero powertrip style fantasy, like DnD5e and Pathfinder.
    The lethal think before you act type old school style fantasy.
    The narrative Powered by the Apocalypse style games.
    The investigative thriller type GUMSHOE and Call of Cthulhu games.
    Etc etc.

    Im running my favorite of all time game Delta Green (great podcast here if you want to listen) as the main game right now and Forbidden Lands in between, for our fantasy fix. Great games as well!








  • Playing:
    Remnant 2, really fun!
    Doorkickers 2, a new update came out with new missions I have to conquer!
    Hell Let Loose got better again with the latest update, so I play that if I have the energy to shout orders into my mic (because no-one wants to be squad leader).
    Sons of the Forest is coming along nicely.

    Stopped playing:
    Gave up on Starfield. What a mediocre janky game with generic story. Frustrating and time consuming menus. It’s not massive at all. It’s just big empty rooms behind loading screens. There has been like 5% technical development since Fallout 4. They didn’t even bother to fix the mannequin NPC faces for their game “that has been in development for 12 years” or whatever.
    I cannot fathom how some people swallow that stuff and goes “10/10 game of the century” and pay 80€ for it.
    Sorry for rant.

    Looking forward to:
    Cyberpunk 2.0
    The infantry combat overhaul for Squad.







  • To me it was a disaster because I expected it to be way more next gen after all these years. And it was very expensive compared to the quality I got.
    Meanwhile my friend was all like “Eh, it’s fine. Pretty much what I expected.”
    So I think people had very different expectations.

    What I absolutely cannot comprehend is those who say “10/10, game of the century!”
    Come on… No way. If you really think that, you have really low standards or haven’t played a new game in 8 years.





  • It’s kind of difficult to explain this without telling you the whole thing.

    Here goes…
    Build outpost randomly.
    Meet Bounty Hunter in close-by container.
    Bounty Hunter asks for help with bandits, and to meet 1km east.
    I get a marker on my map and on HUD.
    I think “fuck, im not running 1km.”
    I go back to my ship and open map.
    I put my landing marker close to mission marker.
    Click to fast travel.
    Loading Screen.
    Ship lands.
    Get out of ship.
    Look around. It’s a whole different map.
    No marker on HUD.
    Think “wtf”.
    Fast travel back to my outpost.
    My mission is there again.
