Afterward I found some clips featuring fights from Overlord and I kinda want to watch that, especially after wiki-walking some extra details. I might also cave and watch SAO one of these days.

I need to catch up on the most recent season of Overlord, as that seems to be generating quite a lot of controversy over on the (usually very quiet) Crunchyroll forums.

I still OWN all my PS1 games, AND my PS1 and PS2, so I could play them right now if I wanted to, but we'll see.

*raises hand*

I am in the same boat. I have everything I need to keep playing my Playstation library well into the future, though it is nice to see that other gamers might have a shot at enjoying several of the titles that made the PS1 the icon that it is today.

1 / 10. The art style / character design is really, really obnoxious on my eyes, and it bugs me that the entire purpose of this show is try and justify all the bullshit in the prequel movies.

Given that the game doesn't have online, I'm somewhat curious how that happened. Did one of you sell the other the game while working at a store? Or did you meet while cosplaying as Squall and Rinoa at a con?

Nothing as fancy as that. We are both Final Fantasy fanficcers (among other series).

Never played the first game due to price inflation (Wii) and lack of availability ("New" 3DS).

Never played the sequels due to not having the consoles on which they were released.

One of my favorites in the series, but I will admit to a bias there because a shared love for Final Fantasy VIII is the reason my wife and I met. In my opinion, it still holds up, but it is very different from every other game in the series. A unique and divisive experience.

I also enjoy Final Fantasy II despite how goofy the game play is.

....and, on a somewhat related note, I'm kinda tempted to contribute a review to Gamefaqs for the first time in years.

No reason not to, IMO.

And I can understand regular Trainers not having full teams of Pokmon, but the more recent games in the series have late-game Gym Leaders and Elite Four members without full teams, and that just bugs me.

Unusual to see this topic go quiet for more than a day.

The Persona 5 anime wrapped up today with Episode 24. I remember being excited about that show in the beginning, but I find myself in no hurry to watch the finale. *shakes head* A-1 Pictures dropped the ball. Still beats the Devil Survivor 2 anime, though.

Been preoccupied by Dragon Quest XI, anyway. Fantastic game.

Henry Cavill just quit as Superman.

I got the feeling he might be headed that direction after seeing him in the new Mission: Impossible (in which he was great, BTW) and hearing that he is going to be the Witcher. I liked him as Superman, but I can definitely understand him moving on, especially since the DC movie universe itself is ... kind of mutating, too.

Same here, but I thought that was worth noting in a game where the encounters are otherwise pick-and-choose for the player.

Starfinder has a potentially high entry cost, like most things Pathfinder. I have been a bit wary of that one.

ParanoidObsessive posted...

Sure, you can just go "Yeah, you recruit enough crew to run the ship effectively" and never describe any of them, and it's good enough to just ferry the PCs from adventure to adventure, but if you've got a Spelljamming ship, it's a good opportunity to use the ship as a rest/resupply hub, and having NPC personalities to interact with during downtime helps make it a more interesting setting.

Well, yeah, I wasn't going to have it be that simple. I'm sure there'll be some keepers in this batch of NPCs, but we'll see who sticks around. The party has surprised me more than once on who they talk to and keep.

I don't think that DnD and DnD-derivatives actually work too well with scifi with anything even slightly complicated.

I recommend looking up Strange Stars by Hydra Cooperative (at Drive Thru RPG, most likely), as that addresses transhuman ideas and is an add-on that can be used with multiple systems.

Your description of Traveller reminds me of ... something. Can't quite put my finger on it.

I'm gonna start up a Traveller game soon!

Let us know how that goes. I have been weighing my sci-fi options, and Traveller is certainly one of the most appealing. (Others include White Star and Stars Without Number, plus oddities like the sci-fi version of the One Dice system.) Also: Is Mongoose Publishing still handling Traveller these days? I remember that being their big deal.

Zeus posted...

Going to have them be actual red-shirts or just one time characters? Also, from a practicality standpoint, wouldn't it be easier for a party to charter a spelljamming ship instead of crewing their own?

1. One-off characters. The rogue in charge of recruiting them said he had Pirates of the Caribbean (i.e. when Captain Jack is recruiting people strictly to sacrifice them to Davy Jones) in mind, so I intend to throw several oddballs at him and play that scene for laughs.

2. The current ship was hijacked from Neogi slavers, and the helm the party is using is stolen. One of the sub-plots involves returning that helm to the Arcane who originally owned it after they use the ship in their attempt to take down the cloud giant king. The characters are groundlings on a planet (Oerth, because this is Greyhawk) where the general population is supposed to remain unaware that space travel is a thing. ... I get the feeling that the party is going to renege on their deal with the Arcane, but that works for me.

ParanoidObsessive posted...

It was basically a setting designed to fail. The fact that it and Planescape exist at all is pretty much a miracle, and it's kind of obvious that Planescape has taken over whatever niche Spelljammer might have found for itself.

That being said, I sort of prefer Spelljammer of the two, because it's more fantasy. Planescape's more like steampunk sci-fi (similar to the route Eberron went down).

I enjoy both settings, and their DNA seems to have made its way into 5th Edition (e.g. the Giff are featured in the Mordenkainen book). I thought it would be fun to incorporate spelljamming into the campaign, since it already involves elements from other worlds (e.g. magic going awry because a Forgotten Realms god has been stranded in the Greyhawk setting). And the players have been having a lot of fun with the ability to fly a ship (see: the Dwarves in the party figuring out how to use aerial shipping to boost brewery profits).

As for your advice on running a ship and crew (thank you), I doubt we are going to be that in-depth about it. The ship is a means to the end. The question is whether or not the trip to the city in the clouds will be one-way or not.

That will have to wait until next week, though. Had players unable to attend today. *shrugs* More time to stock events and monsters in the city.
