Dr. Rev. Jozef von Pishgenstein, esq., Archdirectorate of Community Evil, of course. With several well-developed lairs and a new one the works, von Pishgenstein strives to maximize shenanigans and flim-flammery through artful use of confusing acronyms and exhaustion-inducing guidelines. Agents...

Two candidates for favorite casual games to play in-between games are Agar.io and Town of Salem. They are super useful distractions after I've just finished a lengthy grand strategy campaign or a long stint in an open world RPG, and nice little diversions. Agar.io is great for that...

Human Wizard here. Neutral Good, I'd say. The very icon of glass cannon.

To hold to on the community team's guidelines in the forum limiting off-topic discussion, locking the thread. But, thank you for your kind words on this - I'll convey them over to the editorial team.

When you have a big project that comes in, where do you start? Do you begin with the inspiration, and assemble a design bible, or do you just dive in and see what works? How do you keep competing aesthetic directions from conflicting with one another? And lastly, because I'm cruel - what's...

Ghouls and Goblins? Not Dig Dug, for sure. Can you provide more details? What were some of the other systems? Do you remember anything about the style of art? What platform was it on? -JP

Just picking one at random, it'd have to be during High School, my sophomore year. I have a distinct memory of beating the ever-loving daylights out of three of my friends in Warcraft 2 during a LAN party in 1997. It was a 6 hour LAN party, roughly, and it there were some throw-down fights...

In Ultima Online, at the height of the animal taming tree, you could tame white wyrms - these giant, powerful, magical dragons that could kill in a single hit. At one point in time, I summoned all the guild leaders to a "peace summit" at my guild's headquarters. They gathered around the...

Holy moly these are some awesome responses so far! I kinda wonder if there's a way to wrangle a mini-Roll20 campaign in Cyberpunk with the lot of you.

From what I understand, there are quite a few vehicles we'll get to choose from, including the Quadra, Yaiba bike, Chevalier armored SUV, ThorTon, Archer, and Rayfield. In other future-dystopian settings, you can roll up a character who is all about vehicles. Rigger class in Shadowrun is one of...

Ooo, stealth. I'm dying to hear if anyone out there plans on going the Face route, just a charisma/persuasion loadout. Pacifist runs are always entertaining to watch!

Understood! I would imagine it's often just a matter of forethought, or a gentle nudge towards inclusion that can make a world of difference. A single-setting in a video or interface options menu can determine whether or not the world of an awesome game is open or closed to a person challenged...

I'm going street samurai. I've done enough Shadowrun to know that a katana and bleeding edge cyberware (preferably initiative/speed boosting) is the way to make it. For background, I'm totally going ex-corp. My main in tabletop rpgs with cyberpunk / dystopian is former "Human Resources...

An exceptionally warm welcome to you, SpecialEffect! We're glad to have you with us for the month to highlight your important work in accessibility. Quick question for you - with your various devices that you have via your equipment provision, do you provide game developers and publishers...

It's on my backlog, and been in my wishlist for some time. It seems to be one of those games that people are either "Eh. That was okay/good." or the type that prompts rave reviews. Tell us more. What's the flavor of the game? What drew you in and kept you? Is it immersive? How's the systems...
