Wow, that seems to be a great supplement! I might look into buying a pdf only somewhere (I already have lots of maps and minis) but if I cannot find one... Well, there's never too many maps and minis, right?... Right?

Well, it wasn't all in the same session but 3-4 sessions total. Before the last combat I understood that they were never going to reach to the dragon and designed the combat differently.

There's a talking dragon waiting to share their wisdom and power with the party. He is, like, a couple hours away from the city everyone spends like a few sessions in, preparing to be sieged. NPCs are all talking about how great were the legendary times when dragons were helping dwarves with defending the city. There are dragon claw marks on the city walls. A geographer sponsored by one of my party members tells stories like:

"There was once a cavern just here, near the city, where lived an ancient dragon. And you know what? People don't talk about this place anymore, it isn't on any recent map and nobody goes here. Ever. What could be hidden there? Who knows? If only someone could, like, walk in here and take a look".

Nope, never happened. My party destroyed the whole damn dark forces army all by themselves and left the city. They are now heading to the cooking contest organised by a pixies queen.

That's hilarious! Honestly, that's probably how a real bunch of ~~murderers~~ adventurers would react.

Yup, Last Samourai is 22 years old. Back then a lot of social issues have not been widely discussed.

Yeah, you unlocked many memories of mine. I played CS back in 90s, train with bots and learn map layouts at home, then play team vs team in a club. A bit later with ADSL started to play online and it was still kinda cool. When life fast forwarded me to Quake Arena and R6S it was very fun but I never ever made any online friend. Maybe a couple of people in R6 with whom I played a few times but even then the toxicity outweighed the team play fun.

Yup, either this or the matchmaking is in find-the-most-toxic-people-available mode. I almost stopped playing online to be honest, I'd rather play couch co-op or even a good solo game.

No no, definitely the smell /s

[–] ka1ikasan@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

Absolutely! CP:R ihas always been a huge interest of mine, I also have 2020 and many supplements but never had a chance to dive in.

Wow, the whole room becomes brighter with HDR off /s

[–] ka1ikasan@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 week ago

It was my thought as well. IIUC the game engine, Anvil Next, is the same that has been used since Valhalla so it shouldn't be the engine issue.

[–] ka1ikasan@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 week ago (5 children)

(Didn't play it yet and probably wouldn't before big patches after a year or so, take me with a pinch of salt)

I cannot understand how is this game rated Steam Deck compatible if it is badly optimized? Valhalla was fine on SD but it never had perf issues that bad on current/next-gen. Anyone tried it out on SD (or maybe another handheld)?

 

A few weeks ago I have found a very nice jam on itch.io called Road Trip Game Jam 2025 which was really inspiring and chill. At the time there were already a lot of really good little video games. I decided to hop on and try to submit something physical instead and ~~many coffees later~~ my solo TTRPG Focus on the Road was born.

It's a chill game about driving across a big country, meeting interesting people and visiting some cool landmarks. You will take some pictures of your new friends and visited places using an instant camera and try to continue your trip before the gas tank is empty. As many solo RPGs it's not really a game you can win or lose, it is mostly a tool to narrate a cool story while listening to some old rock music. The main mechanic is interacting with any hitchhikers you might take with you, trying to find a good discussion topic, listening to the radio together, etc. It's absolutely non-violent, features no cigarettes, drugs or booze and has been designed to be as chill as I was when designing it. Oh, and it's free and features only creative common art. Hope you might enjoy it!

A few weeks ago I have found a very nice jam on itch.io called Road Trip Game Jam 2025 which was really inspiring and chill. At the time there were already a lot of really good little games and, as a racing / car games enthousiast, I decided to hop on and try to submit something nice. I am a full time developer but didn't want to bother with a video game project since I am an awful artist and didn't want to work in a team on my free time. So I went a physical game path and wrote a solo TTRPG Focus on the Road.

Edit: there's not many physical games on this community but I hope it still qualifies as a game. Feel free to close if I am not on the right place.

 

First things first, I've updated my LI account with a new e-mail and 2FA and now my account is "Temporarily restricted". LinkedIn require me to send them either my ID card (no way) or my legal information certified by a lawyer in my country (no way). The ID seems to be "verified" (they are nothing to compare against) by Persona, a third-party that is located in US.

I kindly asked by mail to delete my account (as outlined in Article 17 of the GDPR) using a webcall or a short video with me talkie-talking about how I would like to recover my account. "Kindly asked" whether they prefer me to bring the matter to the court (Article 77 of the GDPR). Gonna see what they reply.

Anybody who went through this? Any success? Any arguments that seemed to work on the support?
