Jubal:
Thought this should be a regular thread to go with what are you reading and equivalents.

Edit Jul 2023: there's now a tabletop gaming version of this thread! You can find it here.




My most recent playing attempt was psychonauts, which I found find but I just don't like platforming that much that I want to do a whole game of it, I think. Pillars of Eternity is probably next on the list, though I may buy CK3 as that's out and meant to be good.

Gmd:
Good idea, currently been playing the surge 2, just to try get my dark soulsy fix while i wait until eldren ring news lol. Nice game i recommend for any dark souls combat fans.

Jubal:
Now doing Pillars of Eternity and really enjoying it. Like, probably not enough that I'll get the expansions, but it's got a good feel to it and I love this sort of pausable semi-tactical combat (as long as I only play it on normal mode: I'm dying every once in a while but it's about the right level of frustration for me).

Clockwork:
Ahhh that's so cool Jub!

Pillars is one of my favourite games! It took me the longest time to get into it though :)

What kind of character have you made/ are you making?

The expansion is actually better than the base game imo, it has the gameplay which is fine but the story and the encounters are so much more varied, diplomacy is more of a thing, if you do end up getting 50-60% of the way through and think 'I like my character but wish there was something else to do' then I'd recommend it!


I'm playing Necromunda: Underhive Wars. It's about as flawed as Mordheim but is prettier so.... yay?

Jubal:
I've got an orlan wizard. Playing him as generally compassionate and benevolent, but also quite passionately sciencey and takes everything quite literally so I've got a pretty high honest rep. (I was a bit sad there was no bard class available, I do admit). I'm not that well built, in that my wizard has all the close combat wizard options - lots of good spells for a wizard who wants to fake being good in toe to toe melee - but I tend to take parties that have really good CC capacity so I end up being ranged support but not ideal at it.

I think if I ever play another character I'll download White March and do it with a ranger.
