Looking it up, it would appear that you used attack matrixes in 1st Edition AD&D. Which look crazy.

But you're right in that the D&D ruleset is much easier to understand if you've played it in a group.

There may have been a change in between editions then cause I remember in my dungeon master screens having THAC0 lookups and other book ( monster manual as well as fiend folio) different monsters having a THAC0 rating.

Then again, it was Advanced D&D not regular D&D. But yes, it seems now that it was a pretty complex system.


I feel old now. =(

EDIT: Disregard. Getting old AND senile. 1st edition did not call it THAC0. Uzzy was right in that it was a matrix ( just looked it over to check).

I'm refusing to disregard, because I'm offended by the thought of comparing Original Sin with Neverwinter Nights (1) :p
Click to expand...

Neverwinter Nights with it's expansions and modules was one of my favorite RPG experiences! I think it's unfair to judge it based on the out-of-the-box experience.

With that said, it does sound like I have something to look forward to in Original Sin.:D

I want Dishonored but I'm leary towards the GOTY version. I don't want any of those added traits or whatever to spoil the game's balance. Is it safe to buy?
Click to expand...

The only thing to worry about in that regard are presented to you right near the character's bed in the hub between missions and to avoid any issues, simply don't pick them up.

Edit: Actually I forgot. You can simply disable which DLC you download now. Right Click a game on your Steam library list, properties, and DLC tab. Remove the checkmark for the ones you don't want for your first couple of play throughs.

Is The Bureau: XCOM Declassified finally worth it discounted 80% @ $5.99?


Thoughts GAF?
Click to expand...

I believe so. It's not quite the strategy gem the other X-Com or XCOMs are, but I've enjoyed it all the same actually walking around getting to know the characters and seeing how they are handling the situation of aliens attacking. Game play wise it has a couple of faults with poor A.I. in partners, but as long as you keep on them for what to do, it can be rewarding to take out an entire enemy encampment with no loss on your side.

I can't say I would recommend it above that price however.

My last reminder, good luck to all those who entered.

As a backer and a lover of anything Tim Shafer I have decided to give away Broken Age! But with a twist!

Two of the mystery games are Broken Age.
The other three are Bad Rats.

Choose wisely and goodluck!

True. GAF finds a way into your life though.

It's destiny.

Good points. I always feel like it's not enough. So far I've given lots of bundle stuff which I admit isn't very special. I've only given away a couple good standalone games.

Screw it I'll try think of a giveaway. If I find some decent affordable games I'll do it.

Question about mystery giveaway, what if you get something you already own? Free to regift or or you give it back and it goes to next person?

(Final repost!)

Greetings pedestrian thread-goers, veteran Steam-users, and desperate wallet-emptiers alike! Step riiiight up, step right up!

tvbx2Fx.jpg


Feeling let down after a long week of binge-refreshing this and other threads, hoping for amazing sale news?
Tired of staring at those games on your wishlist that just never quite seemed to want to go on sale?
Or d'ya simply get stuck on Team Blue-balls?

Well, I can't exactly help with all that, however...

Allow me to present to you Three Mysteeerrrrious Doors, each concealing a secret so intriguing - so mind-bending - that they must not be named here.
Choose one - and ONLY one - to see where your true fortune lies:

Will Real Horror overcome you, rendering you a senseless mass of nightmares and despair?

Will you feel the gnawing of Rats at your very soul - taking their Revenge on you for their own twisted existence?

Or, will you stand up, Dust yourself off, and press on into the future, 'til your own Tail's end?

May Lady Luck find you... before despair takes you!
ha ha... hahHA... MUAHAHAHAHAAAAAaaaahhh...

Hehe, I like that. Entered for Door #1
Door #X sounds too scary

So I was limited a little bit by small but scrappy Asus T100 but I did buy a couple games that seem to be running fairly and surprisingly well from Steam sale

Baldurs Gate 2 EE
Witcher 1 EE
The Last Remnant

and I got Bastion from nice GAFfer.

With my previous Steam games and the recent GMG sale i'm pretty set for gaming on this thing for awhile.

Click to expand...

I played the GOTY, and IIRC things are cleanly separated in the main menu.
Like: "play campaign / play DLCs -> play DLC1 / play DLC2" or something.

I don't remember weird unbalanced or out of place weapons in the base campaign. So I'd say it's perfectly safe to just install it as-is.

Speaking of shmups, aku:jiki, take note:
crimzonk9kau.png


Amazing run (for me), no life loss during first three stages, lost a live on 4th boss, than a few on fifth and all others on the EX boss. Who I beat with a spread of bullets nearing my ship, no boost/bomb energy and just pumped full of adrenaline.
Guys, seriously, Crimzon Clover is my 2014 GOTY.
Click to expand...

Got that achievement the other day, novice mode is a great inclusion for people new to shmups, it's very manageable.

Now to switch to normal arcade difficulty...
