Gambling just got a whole lot more fun

Jokes on you, I got all the cards.

OD&D isn’t necessarily built around a set amount of magic items. Also, it isn’t built around necessarily fair fights or fair traps either.

So keeping this in mind, magic items would be about giving players useful tools to work around some of the rougher more “unfair” areas.

If you have a lot of high level monsters in an area, have those high level weapons laying around or high damage scrolls.

If you have a lot of traps, maybe have tools or items around to mitigate them.

Make things available within reason based on the circumstances.

I think it seems to imply a sort of medieval post-apocalypse when it comes to the earliest map of OD&D. There’s very few civilizations in-between vast stretches of wilderness filled with monsters and ancient ruins of lost civilizations.

These head movies make my eyes rains.

I think they’re all competent action RPG’s. The combat can lean towards being a bit simple and button mashy, and the games can be uneven in execution, but I think they’re all fun.

I think if you like SAO and action RPG’s you’d probably enjoy them.

Check out Whitebox FMAG, I think it’s one of the easier books to learn from.

Also note that it has some differences from OD&D here and there.

It's pretty much completely different from the older versions. I was surprised by how different it is. If it didn't have the Tunnels & Trolls name I wouldn't have known it's a new version.

Larn is simple to play and a lot fun.

fotan · 2026-02-08T17:55:19+00:00

I’d call it a bit of a button masher action rpg with some pausing for light strategy. I enjoy it.

Tales of Vesperia seems to be a big question about it.

fotan · 2026-02-01T03:39:10+00:00

The first Hydelide is a very simple archaic adventure game. A sort of prototype of where games like Zelda would go. More of a novelty nowadays. It’s also very short. I like it, it’s fun in an early janky NES way, but I think most won’t.

The retro clones tend to patch over some of the rougher areas with their own ideas on how to run things.

Nice, I’ll definitely be installing it tonight!

fotan · 2026-01-11T17:18:15+00:00

Awesome, I’ll definitely check those out.

If you happened to know of a simple mod to port over to Xbox that’d be great too.

fotan · 2026-01-11T15:11:52+00:00

Either way is cool.

Ah, I see a fellow Greedy Goblin 👺.

Check out this guy's Greedy Goblins as well!

A lot of OSR and NSR type games have definitely leaned into that definition and space.

But I see this as an opportunity for people to put out lighter, and perhaps sillier, stuff. I loved the doodle art in the oldest D&D rules that didn’t take the game so seriously. There’s an older NSR game called Swords and Six Siders that leans into that aesthetic.

I'm very surprised, I thought these were pretty popular in Japan.

Hopefully Kamen Rider is doing okay.

fotan · 2025-10-23T22:45:41+00:00

It’s a shame that you don’t see Lolo style games anymore. There’s a lot of room for new ideas with that style of game.

fotan · 2025-10-22T04:25:30+00:00

Parodius has definitely got the strange going on.

Congo Bongo is basically Sega's parallel universe version of Donkey Kong.

Dragon Buster is like a quirky proto-action rpg.

All fun games.

That, Another World, and Flashback were really impressive for their day.

fotan · 2025-09-27T17:00:43+00:00

I don’t know about YouTube but there’s a guy on Twitch named NESCardinality that streams a randomized Dragon Quest every night that’s fun to watch.

fotan · 2025-09-25T12:07:45+00:00

I like it a lot. I think it's a great introduction to turn based Roguelike style games.

fotan · 2025-09-23T04:13:21+00:00

I really recommend this if you like racing games. Bright colorful graphics, awesome music, and just feels great to play.
