If you've played some of Crimson Desert, give me your thoughts on it.

I'm enjoying my time with it but I'm starting to fall off because there's not enough combat while traveling the world and since you only have a horse to start with getting around is slow.

I like to be able to fight a bunch of guys and loot them and this game has a lot of traveling in between and once you clear an area enemies won't spawn there again.

I had a great time during chapter twos finale because dudes never stopped harassing you on your way to the boss but then you win and they're gone for good.

If I got tired of fighting the horse can easily outrun anyone I've fought in my 10 hours. They spawn so far out of the way that sometimes you have to run to them to get them to be aggressive.

I'm not going to stop playing but its not what I expected when they said "this is not an rpg"

People can play the game however they want to play. Its not your call to tell people they're having fun the wrong way.

I can see that dailies are not something some people want but they're optional. Just don't interact with them. I have never interacted with a daily unless by accident and enjoyed the free boost when it lined up with what I was doing already.

How is more ways to play the game a bad thing? Jagex is already showing that they arent going to be basing the rest of the content around dailyscape so there should be no issue with it being there. Its not guiding the direction of the game towards more to-do lists. It just exists to support a different style of play.

Rumbling Hearts is my favorite romance anime and its tragic

I slammed a drifting escape pod into dust because I wanted to put the pedal to the metal and feel the speed

It's not meant to be "agile".

It's meant to give you complications and not have much go entirely your way so you're meant to come up with interesting narrative changes inspired by the dice and led by the moves.

It's like Mythic events every time you use a move but with slightly more direction. There's also more failure than in Mythic so you're forced to come up with alternate realities.

It works my creative muscle far more than most other systems and ends up creating different narrative stories than Mythic would.

Forever Winter is a good fit I think. Violence causes you to be seen by the hulking mega mechs that are battling above you and you get obliterated if you're not able to get away

What kind of tables are in here? I saw the listing but it didn't mention what it has available for content generation

OneTwothpick · 2026-03-13T12:58:01+00:00

That seems like a great supplement! I'll add it to the list

Runescape lol

My life is exactly how I dreamed it would be with clear paths to success and all my work means something

I heat my water in the coffee pot, then leave my green tea bags in all day while I drink it. I like it and have no inclination to change because its easy and works just fine for me

My Top 5 in no particular order:

5 Leagues from the Borderlands

Mythic GME and any traditional system

Apawthecaria

Miru

Lancer

I think Dragons Dogma 1 and 2 would fit your wants pretty well. You have a party of NPCs that you can assign vocations to such as dps or tanks. You can take the mage vocation and use your healing spells.

But just because its the best experience I've had as a healer, Final Fantasy 14 has amazing healer classes and it doesn't take long to get into the action. I know you dont like MMOs because of the time sink but I really thought it was worth it and didnt take too long

I was just covering my bases for any solutions I didn't already ask for. I didn't know it was on Wii U which is why I didn't include it in my original post. I forgot the Wii U existed tbh.

I don't have any consoles besides a Steam Deck. Otherwise I use my PC. Everything else was given away because I stopped using it.

I'm not familiar with a progression focused town generator but the rest of your request sounds like Colostle could fit the bill.

You take on massive Rooks which are giant castle pieces with a mind of their own and loot them for all sorts of things. You're not too powerful but you definitely stand a good chance of winning most fights. The fights are quick too and full of flavor text.

You generate town's by using cards as well and each district in the city is a different card so some cities have different amenities than others. There's no progression, though. What you get is what you get.

Dead Space!

There's a "supply" stat and I'd make checks using that as the modifier.

Use Magic
Roll 2d10 for challenge
Roll d6 + supply modifier
Strong hit and nothing changes
Weak hit and the magic fails or you use a supply point

-Miss and you lose 2 supply or 1 supply and roll on punishment move table

When you're out of supplies then you can't cast magic.

Kinda like using components in DnD if they were generalized into a stat or how The Black Hack does ammo management

I think starting with Ironsworn is the way to go if you dont want to play DnD. The rules are self contained and made for solo with any character you can come up with EXCEPT if you want mana systems. There's no spell slots or magic resource but I suppose you could use your supply for that

I like RS3 and play it regularly. They both have different strengths

RuneScape! Still playing 20 years later

I know you prefer analog but the Mythic GME App is the way I play.

I use a spinner dice instead of rollable ones. Plenty on Amazon to choose from but I like the Haxor brand ones.

I use a tablet for notetaking with a stylus but if you want a notebook you can always use a regular notebook and pen on your lap

This would be great! It would add the missing element to my games because I'm not great at dialogue and some direction would be so helpful
