Very cool! I look forward to reading it!Chozon1 wrote: Tempting, actually. And it's cool. ^_^ I'm actually working on the third revision for it anyway. XD
I've actually tried it once. It's a rather interesting flavor! I'm not sure if I'd go out of my way to get one, though. Those things are HUGE!Chozon1 wrote:Jack fruit?
Is that dancing like a robot? Or actual robots dancing?Chozon1 wrote: Robot dancing?
Gripe away - maybe in the form of a review.Chozon1 wrote:I need to find someone who has played it so I can gripe about it properly. XD
What issues did you have with the game?They're the perfect thing to throw at a party that isn't getting along. If the party is higher level, make it a family of dragons, instead.Chozon1 wrote:Dragons?
Sadly, that kind of thing isn't unique to Icewind Dale - it's kind of been a standard of D&D since it first came out. I remember an encounter in "Temple of Elemental Evil," one of the first modules to come out, and certainly one of the most popular. One of the first encounters has a green slime drop on the players as they ascend a staircase. Now if you fail your saving throw against a green slime, your character dissolves into green slime. And since this is one of the first encounters in the game, when everyone is first level... and has really crappy saving throws. Hours spent rolling up and creating a character, and it can get permanently killed in the first 10 minutes of that stupid module. Yeah... not a fan of the cheap deaths in D&D.Chozon1 wrote:I thought we had a review for Icewind Dale. Huh. Well, that explains why I bought it. XD Mostly, it's a combination of finicky controls, complex combat system (which isn't entirely explained; it's 2E D&D, I believe) and assorted annoyances in the gameplay--including permadeath spells, which if your character fails a save, they're dead forever. O_o No scrolls, no temple, no reviving whatsoever: the character you've been training for the past 20 hours is gone.
I've heard the name, but haven't taken any time to look into it yet. Why?Chozon1 wrote:Nintendo Switch?
I don't see how this could be a benefit. But I would be afraid of them passing overhead. You know, for the same reason you should be afraid of birds flying overhead. Especially if you just washed your car, or are wearing nice clothes.Woiv wrote:If horses could fly, explain why it could potentially benefit you.
That's just bad. At least the DM can bring some fudge to the table, though. Yeesh, permadeath belongs only in Roguelikes. I can't think of another game where it isn't a rage quit.Sstavix wrote:Sadly, that kind of thing isn't unique to Icewind Dale - it's kind of been a standard of D&D since it first came out.

That looks like an interesting device! So is it replacing the WiiU?Chozon1 wrote:
That's the Switch. I'm looking forward to it, myself. What do you think?
