[Meta Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Lord Windos]

I'm planning to push some progress in the next day or two and get things moving again since nobody's posted much in over a week (gotta get better at doing this still tbh).  Been taking this time to brainstorm when I've not been worn out from work, so now that I have an idea of what I'm planning to do with some things, it's about time we got this show on the road.

Yeah, sorry about that mate, but my own college life has been whipping me HARD, and I figured that with the lax pace I could hold off on replying for awhile. Again, apologies (- n - ); ......

I got more studying to do, but I should get a post up by the end of this day or early next morning. Hopefully once things die down on my end I can become more active once more!

No problem mate. I not exatcly been super active too. Been occupying my head with five other campaights. Four of D&D and one of a Pokerole of a friend of mine. So yeah, pretty crazy. The one in saturday the ranger is been hunting down in the city guards...Good thing I the Cleric of the team to heal the fool later.

@Dragonstrike what about my action of stealth close to the group?

I didn't need to roll it this time because there's nothing on this tile that could have noticed you, and the team is presumably respecting your space.

So people...been playing something recently? Been playing Dead Cells for quite a while and I waiting to buy Curse of the Dead Gods. Looks nice.

Also, is anyone playing the remakes of Diamond and Pearl? Along with Legend of Arceus? The new Pokemon from the second is...nice but the graphics is problematic.

I knocked out both PLA and Bloodborne (including the DLC) recently.  Currently getting back into Monster Hunter Rise and doing a playthrough of Brilliant Diamond with some mons I've not used much before.

PLA might not be the prettiest open world game, but it is such a fresh take on the pokemon formula that I was hooked for the whole playthrough regardless.  Some of my friends then got subsequently hooked on it in a chain reaction of recommendations to play it because it's so dang good.

BDSP are DP with extras and gen 8 mechanics.  Not much more to say, though I'm of the opinion they're not as terrible as some hardcore fans make them out to be.  I understand why they're disappointed, but eh.

As for what I'm waiting on to play, that'll be Horizon: Forbidden West this Friday.  Very excited

And of course, as always, playing Pokerole!  Working on Team OS's side of things now.

Ah Bloodborne. In my opinion, the magnus opus of the Soul Series. The Lovecraft style. The steampunk setting. The lore of the game itself. Perfect. Just perfect in my opinion. And the old hunters DLC just add more wonderful content.

The remakes was kinda "meh" in my opinion. I not angry as I was toward Sword and Shield, but I wish I was expecting more.

PLA well, it is indeed a good fresh air in comparison to what the last gens be offering to us. But I was hopping they could bring a Pokemon in the Breath of Wild style. And they have technology to do such thing. They could do something like this:

Pokemon Breath of the Wild

 

The worse? Despite be just a fanart, this is something they totally capable of acomplish.

That Horizon Forbidden West? Is good by chance? Want to check other games and all that.

Been playing a Pokerole campaigh too. Other I mean. I show the system to a friend of mine and been playing for quite a while. And a few D&D campaighs. One of the campaighs I playing as a Cleric Warforged (basically a robot). A robot with faith. I like to play exotic characters.

PLA tells a more focused story than BotW though, which is very beneficial when exploring the lore of a creature such as Arceus.  I would not be upset if we got further Legends games in the future for other myths and legends with unexplored backstories.  It's about as close to an open-world game as I think the current style of pokemon can get.  (I am kind of a lore geek who prefers gameplay over graphics for the most part, though, so...)

Don't know if HFW is good or not yet since it releases Friday, lol.  The first game, Horizon: Zero Dawn, was very good though, so HFW has a good pedigree and setup backing it up so far.

Nothing wrong with exotic characters so long as they fit the world's lore.  Not the first time I've heard of/seen someone play as a robot with faith based powers though, believe it or not.

I see. Well, depending of the game, I like graphics and gameplay a bit more. But I also love to eat the lore of the game if the lore is good. Elder Scrolls (more specific Skyrim) the lore is incredible and I like to explore the world itself. But to be honest my favorite Lore of games is League of Legends. The moba have its problems but the Lore of Runeterra is marvelous. Gods, demigods, Darkins, Ascendants. Dungeons and Dragons its a close second in my list.

Yeah, explore other Pokemon Legends would be a nice change of scenario. When Pokemon Legends was announce I was expecting a Pokemon Conquest style, but PLA still have some sort of technology (less technological but still have technology). Still like the style of the game. 

I played Zero Dawn quite a lot. Fights against MACHINES! is pretty great. So I curious to see what the next game have stored.

Well, I agree. Good thing in the D&D universe there is those things called Spelljammers, basically ships capable to travel to other worlds (Or Planes of existance). They are rare in some worlds, but still doable to exist in certain realities. The DM permited my char come from his world to another to travel to Toril (the world of his campaigh) to do his personal goals.

I believe. The DM is a old friend of mine and make the suggestion of the Cleric Warforged. Even more the Forge Cleric. Pretty tank type of Cleric (well, Clerics is tank in general but this type is extra tank).

[Spiritmon]

It was not my strangest character I ever made though. I made even more strange chars. I dont remember all of them but to name a few:

- Half-elf Shadow Sorcerer (A sorcerer whose power came from a dimension of anti-life).

- Half-Orc Fighter Battlemaster (A more strategic fighter).

- Human Warlock Hexblade (A type of warlock who send curses to his enemies and more focus to attack with magic and weapon on hand).

- Warforged Artificer Alquimist (a spellcaster who cast spell though inventions he created with science).

- A Tiefling Abjuration Wizard (A Wizard focus in uses Wards or protections to safeguard himself or reduce damage). A Tiefling is more like a person with devil blood and demonic appearance. This one was one of my favorites to roleplay, but unfortanely the campaigh I use him was cancelled.

- Githyanki Psi Fighter (A Fighter with psionic abilities). The char I been playing for the most time (1 year and 2 months). A Githyanki is more or less like pirate who invade other Planes of existance to loot and destroy cities. He is good now but he is torment by his past.

- Goliath Rune Knight (a Fighter who use magic using runes write in giant language). By far one of the strongerst characters in terms of fighting power. Runes is awesome to cause damage. And Goliath awesome to reduce damage and deal damage. And Rune Knight change size to become even bigger. And the wizard of the group have a spell to increase the size even more. We call such strategy "Titan Strike" strategy. The only thing who could make even better would bring the opening of the anime "Attack on Titan" to make better.

- Kalashtar Moon Druid (A Druid with a deep focus in his beast transformations. And can become a freaking elemental in highter levels). One of my most recently chars. Kalashtars is basically humans with others spirits inside of them who came from a dream dimension so they share the same body (and sometimes the same body) along with telepathic abilities. He act both a support and Tank of the group due to his abilities.
