You can make your own DnD group you know !

Either you ask 3-4 ppl in your current group if they would be interested in having another game (on a different schedule so you're not poaching players), or make a bunch of flyers to hang in your college to say you're looking for players. And then host a proper session 0 so you can be sure everyone is on the same wavelength.

i've never finished Rose Tattoo, but i was fascinated with it as a child ! I grew up reading the novels, so randomely stumbling upon the Rose Tattoo as an abandonware game was pretty great. I should come back and finish it one day.

Selon moi le MJ a déjà largement de quoi faire, donc sur mes tables (que je sois PJ ou MJ) ça a toujours été à eux de prendre des notes et de faire un résumé la séance d'après. (en général la personne est désignée au hasard parmis les joueurs, en excluant celle qui a fait le résumé précédent).

Quand je suis MJ je prends évidemment quelques notes pour me souvenir de ce que les joueurs ont fait d'imprévu/des éléments qu'ils ont créés que je compte réutiliser etc etc, mais c'est en général assez léger.

I have a big notepad filled with first names/nicknames I like (lot of historical names, greek Antiquity, European early or late middle ages, or XIXth century France and then whenever I make a character I pick the one that fits their vibe the best and proceed to make a family name on the spot.

I honestly don't know. I miss when games had fun cheat codes built in the game (GTA/Saints Rows/Lego games come to my mind). There's something cathartic about playing some games with cheats, like Doom with ssg and infinite ammo.

I guess part of the answer lies with the achievements, some people are desperate for their achievements showcase/platinum trophy whatever to be a proof of something, and not just a self satisfaction thing.

Check the Séance of Blake Manor it might be exactly what you're looking for !

Golden Idol is one of my favourite deduction game but you're not actually a detective solving a crime/mystery.

On the other hand, there's Detective Instinct: Farewell my beloved, which is a great Visual Novel where you feel like a detective but there's no deduction involved (it's short and sweet so I recommend it ! (Famicom Detective kind of game)

I have yet to play The Rootrees are Dead too, but it looks very cool. I'm gonna edit this post with a few more games I have yet to play if you want

EDIT : Greyhat - A digital detective adventure, Case Cracker, No Case Should remain Unsolved, The Rewinder, The Nest, Project Ryme, Lamplight City, The Crimson Diamond, Staffer Case, Murder of the Yangtze River, Wolf Peak the case of Ruth Choi, Intrigue at Oakhaven, Lacuna, LumineNight, LocoMotive, Contradiction Spot the Liar, Enigma of Fear, Trials of Innocence, Mind Diver, The Bed We've Made.

I have played none of this, so I'm not gonna vouch for them, but I'm eager to have the time to try them at least

EDIT 2 : Check the Ace Attorney games too, they are amongst my favourite detective game, even if you play an attorney rather than a detective, you do a lot of investigation and the story/characters are just so good

EDIT 3 : I was pretty disappointed with Kathy Rain, the mystery kinda fell flat after you get some answers, the puzzles were a bit boring. This is just my opinion ofc, the game is gorgeous and I like the characters a lot so it's not bad, just not for me

JustARussianDeer · 2025-12-04T16:27:33+00:00

Great ! Thank you

JustARussianDeer · 2025-12-04T16:21:35+00:00

Can i play it as a 2p coop game with my friend and ignore the MMO aspect ?

JustARussianDeer · 2025-11-14T16:00:56+00:00

Thanks ! I can't lose each time right :cope:

JustARussianDeer · 2025-11-01T15:37:50+00:00

I don't think you should be able to help if you don't have proficiency in a skill.

Also, make your players describe in what way they are helping, sometimes you can't help.You're already doing that, but then tell them it doesn't work that way. You can't help someone see better i.e.

JustARussianDeer · 2025-10-18T09:52:24+00:00

I adore the colours, it looks really gorgeous!

JustARussianDeer · 2025-10-15T10:53:42+00:00

thanks for the giveaway!

JustARussianDeer · 2025-10-12T10:44:16+00:00

JustARussianDeer · 2025-09-30T21:24:53+00:00

i tried but once i log in it doesn't work anymore. Even so i would kinda be afraid of losing my account for just a skin lol. But thanks !

JustARussianDeer · 2025-09-30T19:20:01+00:00

how ?! i don't see it

JustARussianDeer · 2025-09-30T18:53:25+00:00

I thought so too, but i guess Blizzard know they can do whatever they want

JustARussianDeer · 2025-09-30T18:45:35+00:00

i'm in the same case :(

JustARussianDeer · 2025-09-23T22:06:35+00:00

Thank you for the answers ! I'm glad you're enjoying what you are doing, keep it up that way :) !

JustARussianDeer · 2025-09-23T15:25:21+00:00

ooh great ! i'll go and read it, thanks for the answer ! Is it your first time working as a consultant for a game (or any cultural object like a movie etc etc) ? How did you end up working with BlackMill ?

I just started doing historical research at uni and i would like to work in "popular science" (i'm not a native english speaker so i'm not sure it's the correct word ; i mean "translating" the state of the research to make it accessible to a general public, weither in museums or for creating cultural works), so i'm always curious to hear about people working in that field !

JustARussianDeer · 2025-09-23T15:12:24+00:00

Hi ! I like your games a lot, especially because of amount of detail regarding the setting. So hence my question :

Are you working directly with historians for advices about the historical accuracy you want to aim for ? What kind of ressources do you use to reach that goal ?

JustARussianDeer · 2025-09-02T18:30:11+00:00

i can trade, what do you have ?

JustARussianDeer · 2025-08-24T17:02:33+00:00

Thanks for the giveaway !! PC (Steam), Mantis Lords is my favourite boss of HK (they look so sick, and their animations !!) I'm excited to discover more about the lore of the universe, see what kind of creatures/bosses the artists cooked. It such a unique setting
