OH WOW. I didn't know about Fantasy Grounds. Is this better/worse than NWN in table-top roleplaying? Probably better because it can do GURPS/D20/etc.?

Shame you can't "solitaire"/play-test campaigns by yourself since it requires two people (DM and a player) to do the campaign apparently.

Well, to be precise, Fantasy Grounds is a software that has been available for several years. It's new to Steam though.
As much as I can tell it's not really comparable with NWN, Fantasy Grounds is just a set of tools to make pen & paper rpg sessions more enjoyable on a PC. And lastly, it wasn't listed for size purpose, but it seems like the software will have DLC on Steam, each one adapted to some of the big p&p rpg played these days.

- Call of Cthulhu
- Castles & Crusades
- Pathfinder
- Savage Worlds

Look what Playfire did to me:

Didn't even want to play it, then I got one achievement, which would ruin my statistics, so I said: Ok, let's do this
LEEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOY JENKINSSSSSSSSS

In the end it was a pretty cool game. It even had a riddle you had to solve to "win the game". Also noticed, the game has unobtainable cards. Game is F2P and has no DLC, from reading the community hub I get that the dev didn't know about this F2P = no cards stuff.. :/

If he removes the game from sub 0 and uses the free licence system instead, there'll be card drops. See: L4D2.

Just think of them as extras. I know some are picky with what's in their Library, but in the end also can weigh it in as more for less. However, I guarantee you Racing Transformed and Generations are good games that may surprise you.

...No. Tried the demo for both. They aren't Mario Kart, Crash Team Racing, or (shock and horror) Blur for me. The transformation sucks and there's something "off" about the controls for me.

Got nothing on Generations, but I don't really need "Nu" and Old Sonic together.

So I know Valve makes it easier to refund a pre-rodered game. If I for example pre-order Transistor and If I choose to cancel the pre-order, will the money go instantly back to my Steam wallet?


Many games on my wishlist in 1 bundle.

Guys, as I can't follow the post-rate in here over night, I don't know if the theory has been corrected or not: one Gaffer said yesterday that there could be a sale coming as Spacebase DF-9 discount lasts for 6 days.
Could it be ?

Yes, I know we will know soon enough, just wanted to know if this line of thought is solid.

There's no incoming sale: publishers have been able to set their own discounts since February. Spacebase's discount will last a week because Double Fine wanted it to last a week.

Shit just got real:

Does anyone know how long it usually takes for customer support from Humble Store to respond back beyond the automated message?

Edit: Congrats Knurek.


Ah Fortix series, the best Inspired-By-Qix titles out there today. Well worth getting I or II if you can, it's just fun and has dragons.

Indiegamestands new deal is Glitchspace : https://indiegamestand.com/deal/

Buy it guys... its a great First Person Puzzle game.

I do love first person puzzle games, so I'll definitely have to get this. Thanks for sharing.

I feel compelled to quote this post from another thread because these games are fucking awesome.

http://www.bundlestars.com/all-bundles/battleground-bundle/

For $3.99 you get Steam codes for:
- Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines
- Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty
- Commandos 2: Men of Courage
- Commandos 3: Destination Berlin​

Those games were so goddamn good, especially Commandos 2. I never played 3. Great price for some classic games.

Listen to this person, be saying correct things about one of the best stealth game series you can ever have on Steam.

Oh a very good point, I had forgotten about the new price rule. You mean the offer will last 6 days but there will be a new offer today nonetheless ?

I know. I just can't get into them. I really don't get the hype. Blur really deserved better, IMO. It's probably the "closest" to Mario Kart for me.
Until they screwed around with the "shunt"/red-shell dodging mechanics and made it slightly harder to do.

Congrats on 1000 games, Knurek.

For a second I was like: "Woa woa a sequel for a cool DS game on the PC, and number 3? what the..."
Infinite_Space_Cover.jpg


Even more as "Sea of Stars" is a term used on the DS game!
This was my first thought as well, then reality came crashing down. I'm already at my quota of space themed games to play anyway but what's the deal with all the cats on the community screenshot page?
 
This has probably been posted, but I found it pretty accurate.

Remember a time when games like Ikaruga couldn't get on Steam? Yeah, that was awesome. I'm not going to say the Store front is perfect or anything, far from it, but when it was curated, they did kind of a shitty job of curating it.
