Lekai

Welcome to the forums lekai! Legend of Grimrock is a modern take on a classic game style; I loved it! There was a game I had on my old Mac Classic...that style but all pixelated black and white...can't remember the name! I've also really enjoyed The Quest for iOS. Again, similar style, but single protagonist (no party) and very boilerplate graphics. Still fun though!

I think you made the right move migrating from AD&D to 5e. 3.5 was good and fun, but 5e captures that old-school flavor unlike any other edition.

Welcome, welcome!
I hope to steal your ideas in the future (it ends up happening sooner or later and if you don't mind).
-I certainly do the same thing when it comes to height, I'm 6' , but I tell everyone I am 5'11"
-I love hiking as well!
- Pocahantus is pretty awesome (I am not sure if she counts as a 'princess'). Sleeping Beauty was my Disney Princess (what does that say about my exercise routine?).

Glad you could join us on these truly remarkable forums...

Welcome to the Block Party! I don't know if we have a name for forum members/fans of the show, but I personally vote for Blockheads because it is hilarious to me and makes me think of the Gumby Show. I agree that it sounds like you have an awesome job. If your like rogue-like type games you should give Darkest Dungeon a try because it is amazing. I would love to see your MMO resume and would like cry tears of joy. I have stuck with WoW with others on the side, and my /played is ridiculous.

As is my civic duty here at the Block Party, you should go check out the DM Nastics that have been posted as they will really help give a good look at how some of us go about making/building things. Also, you should try your hand at it as well to keep your DM mind sharp!

Oh, and welcome!

Thanks for the responses, peoples!
Legend of Grimrock is awesome, as it reminds me of the Wizardry days and Crusaders of the Dark Savant in particular. I'll check out The Quest as I'm really big into innovative mobile games: Sword & Sworcery EP, Monument valley, year walk, etc. - Just no farmville or Game of war (please stop advertising, seriously)

And yeah, 5e is great with the emphasis they put on removing rules and drawing people to default with more story-driven play, while still keeping the core of the game intact. I checked out Pathfinder and they have a rule for everything, it's crazy.

The beer is www.noblebrewerbeer.com and if you're interested I can give a discount on it, assuming we're able to ship to your location. Our next batch is going out in June and features a really good coffee stout, an IPA, and a porter. It's not technically home-brew as we partner with local nano breweries to produce it as our license as a vendor won't allow us to actually brew it - but we source from home-brew recipes and do a cool little feature on the people behind the beer, in addition to shipping out our boxes with the story cards I recently finished designing.

Pocahontas was a weird result, but then again, online surveys are painfully easy to game. "If you were a class in D&D, what weapon would you use?" Pretty much spells the answer for the quiz right there.

Please, steal all the ideas possible. Good DM's borrow, great ones just steal and rename everything. haha

Darkest dungeon was awesome and I recently repurchased Rogue legacy on my xbox one because of how much I loved that game. Honorable mentions for the binding of Isaac, although rebirth kind of nerfed the difficulty of that game.

I left WoW during the beta for WoTLK after leading an old world raid on Argent Dawn, working in a progression raid that was on Sunwell and hitting an arena team of 1975. I had each complete set from 0 - 6, did the hunter bow demon quests, AQ40 scarab lord quests and pretty much every other quest on alliance side, ran about halfway through the original release of Naxx, had every leather working pattern in the game up to that point, was one of the first 50 on my server with a Netherdrake mount, had almost maxed all my factions including dark iron and the Winterfall ones for the saber mount, and was one of two people on my server with a Corrupted Ashbringer. Then I quit because I wanted to do things that didn't require selling my soul to WoW. I think when I quit I had 450 days /played in 2008. (Images attached)



Sides, tabletop is better in the long run - much more open.

Knock yourself out. It's just a riff on the "good artists copy, great artists steal" quote

Welcome.

Love Grimrock, also rogue like favorites of mine would be Rogue Legacy, and Risk of Rain. Glad to have you here on the forums.
