[Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

If I ever get a good pc to handle Baldur Gate 3, I let you people know and then we might able to play together. Solaria Crown of the Magister is another interesting option since it have a Baldur Gate 3 gameplay style, and my PC can actually handle.

But in the case of Baldur Gate 3 I might do a technique I usually do in the campaigns I play using a technique I like to call PWC:

Party
Weakness
Coverage.

I usually hear and wait everyone choices of characters style and choose something the party lacks. Something to cause damage? Rogue or Damage Paladin. Healing? Druid or Cleric. Tank? Paladin, Fighter or Barbarian. Spellcasting? Wizard, Sorcerer, Warlock or Bard. Utility? Wizard or a skill monkey Rogue.

As for Wildermyth, yeah, it is a pretty awesome game and it does have a charm. The game also have multiplayer option up to five players. Not to mention if you play with 4 people or more, you can start the game with 5 heroes. The Legacy mechanic is what make me fall in love with the game. The idea of a hero be used in other campaigns, evolved and then become a hero talk in folklore and then a Myth among mortals? That's radical story telling!

It's like...those old stories with different versions. Like Robinhood or King Arthur, with different versions of characters and variants of the story. In one story you facing creatures who corrupt the land with tentacles and other nasty spells and years later you might be facing a Cult of people who lives underground who are trying to conquer the surface, to the point of facing a war against ancient machines who use the dead to create new machine who might cross generations! All with heroes who grown, get stronger, get old, and then might retire, but he or she might have a son or daughter who takes the mantle of the family and become a adventurer! And maybe that same adventurer will have everlasting friendships, strong rivalry, and even fall in love with one of his companions.

The world stories created in this game is amazing! So far is one of my favorite games in a long while! Speaking of which: Are you available tomorrow to continue our game Dragonstrike?

I can already imagine how hard scheduling those game sessions with 3+ people across several different timezones would be.  But hey, I'm up for the challenge!  If I wasn't, I wouldn't have been helping with running tournaments in UCC for as long as I have  Tongue

The Legacy mechanic is definitely one of the most interesting mechanical pieces of Wildermyth as well as an interesting storytelling device.  Playing with fresh faced heroes who have to roll with whatever they get is a very different experience from recruiting a legend with a fine tuned list of synergistic skills built up over the course of many different stories!

Yup, I should be available tomorrow evening!  I'll let you know when I'm home from work.
