It's Demeo X D&D time.
This has to be the clunkiest way to talk to NPCs in what is ostensibly* a downtime map (characters take turns - 2 actions a piece), but I prefer it to Sunderfolk's "choose 3 Twine games to play".
*Putting on my game review hat.

The Hero Quest-like-a-thon continues with Arcane Quest HD.
It’s… literally Hero Quest, but more gear, spells, classes, and dungeons. I’m willing to forgive the movement dice for the commitment to the bit.
Wee bit janky, but nothing that’s a deal breaker. Quite fun so far. Free demo too.

Another Hero Quest-like: Dungeons and Dragons Battlemarked.
It streamlines much of D&D into 2 cards per character-turn, gaining cards as loot and burning them to level up. I really like what's going on here with big maps to explore, synergies, and little skill checks here and there.

Solo-ing Sunderfolk's campaign with just 2 characters is quite fun.
The choice of barbarian and wizard counts for a lot because if I wasn't able to teleport / throw people off the map I'd be stuck.
Maybe when they get one-shot mode in I'll be able to convince some one else to join for a session.

Is it something specifically wrong with me or does anyone else experience the animated subtitles in TikTok videos as eye-poison?
I literally cannot look at the flashing text. I feel like I'm about to have a fit or something.

I have played Ghostlore to level 15 (multiclassing). It is... good!
Some visual feedback issues (easy to get one-shot, why is the background the same saturation as characters). Otherwise I agree with Seer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ifX...
And it's 40% off on Steam for the next 23hrs.

A little strange that they didn't make the engine a mess of edge cases that also requires more artwork.

Dear game designers, have you considered moments other than "Ah Ha"? Eg:
* What the hell is that?
* Just how big is this thing?
* Holy shit!
* Wait, what?
* I don't get it... it's impossible... okay I get it.
Diversify your moments. Players can be so much more than Alan Partridge.
