As someone who loves JRPGs as a genre but has generally grown out of their anime phase, Expedition 33 looks really interesting. I've been eyeing it since the announcement trailer and its recent success got me curious. A co-worker told me that it's just 20-30 hours to beat, which is a huge plus for me (don't have the patience to clear 100-200 hrs games anymore - looking at you, Persona 5).

I'll probably get it this summer as soon as I manage to get some free time from work.

Welcome back! :)

I don't know if you're asking sarcastically or not, but I'd mention Divinity 2, Baldur's Gate 3, Witcher 3, and those are just the most popular/universally acclaimed. I feel all three of them offer the same sense of adventure and exploration in an open world map, with actually interesting side content, engaging combat system, and voice acting that doesn't scream "we're being held in the recording room against our will, please save us". They are also relatively bug-free, or at least not broken the way Bethesda titles are.

Back in the days, I think Gothic had the same clunky gameplay but at least offered a much deeper worldbuilding and more interesting choices.

You can also widen the search by changing the parameters. The thing that sets Oblivion apart is that it attempted to do a lot of things, but everything is either shallow, poorly executed, or outright bugged. If you take a look at other titles that did some of the things Oblivion did, there are countless that executed those ideas a lot better. Fable 2, Dragon Age, Avowed for example, and again, I'm only mentioning the most famous ones.

I'm honestly surprised that so many people longed to return to Oblivion. The game's as bad now as it was 20 years ago - janky combat, horrible dialogue, bugs galore. They gave it a nice coat of paint, but the moment you transition from dialogue to gameplay, you go back to the same animations from the original game. It's kind of eerie looking at a game with modern graphics and such dated gameplay.

There are so many games nowadays that do what Oblivion attempted to do, so much better.

It's not my cup of tea, so I can't speak by experience, but a friend of mine tried WEBFISHING and loved it.

Cool to see an indie game from a new studio getting so much praise.

Obligatory "I'm not American". I'm a bit confused by this. Can anyone sue the president over an official act? Is that a thing? Didn't the Supreme Court basically say that he could walk outside, shoot a bystander, go back home and face no consequences?

As far as I know, lawsuits that involve rich/powerful individuals and another side with way less cash than them is to just postpone the hearing or drag it on long enough for the poorer side to give up or go bankrupt. Even if it actually succeeded, suing the president is something that could be escalated until it gets picked up by the currently right-leaning supreme court, isn't it?

Thank you very much!

There's some power asynchronicities, like with having the dragon patron, and an inventory full of magic trinkets to full heal every short rest

Can I ask what you mean by this? The dragon patron bestows temp hp after a long rest, depending on the amount and rarity of attuned magic items. It doesn't interact with short rests and, even with three high-rarity attuned items, it's at most 30 temp hp only.

Am I missing some weird interaction here? I'd gladly patch that up if you could be a bit more specific.

This is the finished version of my Occultist class, a revamped Warlock that's meant to refine and streamline the OG class.

The Warlock is my favourite class in the game, but its reliance on short rests to recharge spell slots and the pitiful amount of invocations known turn DnD’s most customizable class into a boring slog of “I cast Eldritch Blast” and “As my first invocations, I take Agonizing Blast and Devil’s Sight. Again”.
By adding the Patron’s expanded spell list (which goes up to 9th level) automatically to their spells known, gaining more invocations (10, compared to the OG Warlock’s 8) and rebalancing the invocations (including adding higher level Pact-exclusive invocations up to 14th level), the INT-based Occultist allows for much greater build variety, while retaining what made the original class so loved by many.

The 1.0 update includes four Pact Boons (Blade, Chain, Talisman, Tome), four subclasses (Archmage, Deep One, Greatwyrm, Undying) and 50+ Eldritch Invocations, including seven pact-exclusive invocations for each Pact Boon.

Yeah, under 50% of the required signatures and it's just a few weeks from expiring, there's no chance this will succeed unless some big-name influencer gathers support for the petition, which at this point I doubt will happen.

It made some people talk about the problem, though. That's a step in the right direction.

May I suggest cross-posting to !dndhomebrew@lemmy.world

PugJesus and The_Picard_Maneuver are single-handedly keeping half of Lemmy afloat.

[–] Aielman15@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I agree. In the days immediately following the APIcalypse, people attempted to move all their favourite niche communities to Lemmy, but the site's active userbase isn't there yet for that kind of content - much to my displeasure: I was only active in two/three niche communities back when I was a Reddit user, but they are pretty much nonexistent here, so I'm forced to include more generic communities in my Lemmy feed to keep it from drying up.

 

If I receive a notification (for example, when someone replies to my post/comment), I tap on the notification to open the app, and then proceed browsing the app; when I open the left tray by swiping from left to right I can see my bookmarked communities (which include any multi-community that I've set up) but I can't see any of the communities I'm subscribed to.

 

"LumenTale: Memories of Trey is a Monster Collector RPG set in the wonderful land of Talea. Trey, who has mysteriously lost his memories, decides to set on a journey after a particular event. His only guiding light will be a mysterious desire... but will that be true?"

Releasing on Steam and Nintendo Switch at launch, as well as PlayStation and Xbox at later dates.

DnDHomebrew is a community dedicated to sharing and giving feedback on homebrew material for DnD 5e (both 2014 and 2024). It doesn’t see regular activity, which is a nice change of pace from the UnearthedArcana subreddit (where low-quality homebrews are posted daily, and that only recently decided to finally ban AI), but it can get a bit monotonous in the long run.
I’ve tried keeping it active over the past few months, but writing quality homebrew takes time, so the are long hiatuses during which the community stays silent. There are other content creators sharing great pieces of homebrew, such as Consort’s playable dragons and magical items. However, I’d love to see more activity from other users as well.

Please join us if you feel like sharing your homebrew rules, classes or whatever, or if you'd like to spice your games with additional options!

 

First of all, congrats for going open-source! I know a lot of people asked for it, so I hope this will contribute to more Lemmy users giving Summit a try.

As for the request, I was reading this: https://lemmy.world/post/27017601

The post mentions a potential exploit regarding inline media being used to access the user's IP. I'm not tech savvy, but another developer in the comments acknowledged the issue and pushed a hotfix for their app to patch the issue, so I was wondering if Summit could do the same.

To make things clear, I know there's already an option to display inline media as links. I'm asking for an option that changes the behaviour of inline media in private messages only.

Title. Would it be possible to add in-app support for community links such as:
https://ttrpg.network/

 

Inkarnate is giving away 10-days free Pro membership, so I took the bait and tried it. I decided to use the limited time to bring a very old concept of mine to life, which I originally conceived as a kid in high school. Overall, there's a lot of improvements to be made (especially since I decided to stick to the original concept as much as possible, which was... not very good to begin with lol), but I had a lot of fun and it allowed me to unwind a bit before going to bed, which was nice.

Not sure if I'll stick to Inkarnate Pro, however. Inkarnate is good, but it's web browser-only and subscription-only, which are both dealbreakers for me. I think I'll try Wonderdraft next!
