Together RPG - Schedule & Discussion

[dsheinem]

Also, and completely open/honest here -

for year 2 of SOTM we had the most regular participants and contributors select a few games (I think 3) for everyone else to then vote on. For the most part, that has worked out well. Perhaps go through each thread, see who plays and chats the most, and offer to let them pick a game or a few for people to vote on for next year.

how would the calendar run for SRPG? If Shadowrun Returns got picked, I'd def join in. Though January is PSO for TR, so I'll be focused on that for the month. :\

Well next game either starts dec 11 or Jan 11 for 2 months.

Dave is just trolling now so ignored.

Only partly (e.g. COD). I do think most of my ideas are good ones. I suppose if you ignore me I will have to start ignoring the club.

Did you participate in the previous 4 games?
You are picking non rpgs so they aren't considered.

I sense that we'll def be playing a Falcom Eroge.

That was the joke.

I did play a few hours each of SF2 and PT. They were good, but like you I often get distracted from my RPGs with new ones and/or other games.

Mega Man BN games, Marvel UA, D&D Arcade, Okami, Pokemon - some great options for this club.

Ehh I get distracted more right before the end of an rpg. I get bogged down completing side stuff. I have put good time into all but PT. Should beat Crystalis during this break.

That said, we could also go back and play through a large variety of classics and lesser known titles that likely some of us have never touched: Betrayal at Krondor, Arcanum, The Magic of Scheherazade, Uncharted Waters, Gorky 17, Stonekeep, Dungeons & Dragons: Warriors of the Eternal Sun, Quest 64, and so forth...

There is debate on rpgamer staff from what I've seen about what should be in scope. The general idea they use is to be inclusive and not exclusivem if a staff member wants to cover a game, they put it in the database.

I'd argue that Deus Ex is an RPG. Like Oblivion you've got NPC interaction with interesting dialog trees where the right choices can get you rewards/quests, you've got a leveling system that drastically affects how you play the game, and there's a large emphasis on the story. It's definitely more linear than Oblivion is, but that is something you see in your standard JRPG, and you still have lots of exploration space inside the missions themselves, and multiple ways to approach a problem.

This is what I'd prefer to do. Classic RPGs that might have flown under the radar for some of us.

And I have no interest in playing Deus Ex at all.
