>What are you playing right now?
Elminage Original, debating on going back to Wizardry 6 before or after completing it now that I’ve gotten more used to some Wiz clones.
>Any release you are looking forward to?
Not particularly, not because nothing looks good but because there are more than enough available for me to play in a single lifetime.
>Do you prefer a fully custom party, or pre-made adventurers?
Fully custom. Part of the fun for me and I imagine most into the genre is party building and finding new ways classes work together.
Anyone try that Stonekeep sequel(?) for the Wii? The original is another that I want to get back to before too long.

Just did a solo playthrough of Dungeon Rats, was brutal but a lot of fun trying to tip the odds in your favor while being seriously disadvantaged every fight.

recommendations for something rather fast-paced like M&M6-8? can be turn-based

Monster's Den series. originally made with Flash.

Book of Dread is the shortest one unless you play Endless mode.

Unironically Bard's Tale Trilogy. It's pretty basic and most encounters end in less than a minute. You need some tolerance for old school trap bullshit tho.

I hate the fact that I can play a game like Wizardry but if I am not dedicated enough I end up dropping. It's just time consuming.. I know what to do and all, but if I stop playing I end up having to start over. It's either you fucks wit it, or you have to stop playing and start all over again.

Maybe starting with something like Wizardry isn't the best option. A less obtuse game like Might & Magic could fit you best.

I had to replace a party I lost in wizardry gaiden 2 not too long ago, but it's not as bad as you think it might be in terms of "Starting over". think of it this way:
>You still have your maps you drew and no doubt made notes on where important things are
>any items you sold to Boltac's are there to be bought again for your new party members
>Because you mapped stuff out and have access to better gear right away (especially if you had a Bishop at Gilgamesh's Tavern to work as a bit of a bank on top of identifying stuff), you can go grab plot coupons you need and can grind much faster to get back where you were
>you have a chance in some cases to build up certain party members better this time around, like making mages you plan on turning into fighters and vise versa

I've never played Might and Magic, outside of Dark Messiah but I know that doesn't really count. Is it dungeon crawling too?

>Is it dungeon crawling too?
Kind of? It's an important part of the experience, but it's also true that the series turns towards more of an open-world/adventure focus. That said, if Wizardry 8 is a dungeon crawler then so is M&M.

I've never played Wiz 8 desu, just 1-3, 5, and Gaiden 1 and 2. I plan on going back to 4 eventually but it's really its own thing from what I can tell and I wanted more party building. That, and when I heard you can export 3 into 5 even on PS1 I was all in on that.

reincrawling

Don't know if this is the place to ask this but figured it's ny best shot - I played this steam demo for an indie old school style grid based sort of dungeon crawler first person game years ago , maybe between 3- 5 years back ? Could be more though. The only thing I can recall about it however , is that it had a deep dark blue UI elements , and the tutorial quest took place in this underground cave system , very descriptive text heavy and exposition heavy, and I think the story had something to do with aiding your tribe by exploring these cave systems ? I know its very vague but It's all i have to go on. I tried searching for it in my library and idk if it got delisted or if I'm just retarded but I don't see it anywhere . Or anything that fits its description. Any help is much obliged, thanks !

Aeon of Sands – The Trail
Islands of the Caliph
Der Geisterjäger / The Ghost Hunter
Arakion: Tales of Vigil
The Darkness Below
The 7th Circle – Endless Nightmare

Started Paper Sorcerer for the first time after it has been rotting in my GOG library for a few years

You can tell it was crowdfunded by how it lacks polish in almost every aspect
