For ancient ones like ourselves who used to play real d&d round the table with chips & beer (and stuff) ... this game has been 15 years in the making (we would have said in development but now its called "15 years in early access")
It actually itches like ... we could actually do tyrnannoght with an interface like that and still get it in 15 years if we dont go demented before that
but the point would be not i suppose ...
If you play, you game, you like retro stuff or you're any kind of developer who's into what today goes for "rogue-like/lite" i think you need this ... if you wanna be the next van voght or zelazny and you hate jippedee maybe you can use this heheh
ANYWAY
first game : (the thing could use html output or otherwise but i suppose writing a conversion script to replace their markup wouldnt be rocket science)

Yesterday it wouldnt let us update the post
this part : simply refused to add it
Akshully we dont play many new AAA games anymore, not just b/c valve owes us , or bc prices are ridiculous and we are getting dirtpoorer by the year
Just b/c most games are shyte
this one
one of my fav personal bossfights with the first char, a concept character that put 1 in each consecutive stat so at lvl 100 all stats were even but pretty low, then go around in a nightgown killing evil lords
but the past and this year we are mostly too tired for stuff that requires more than 10 fps
just sharing the nooze - if you're in need of a break from the end of the world - this world is CRAZY in a good way
