My thoughts on Pillars of Eternity, another isometric computer role-playing game in the direct lineage of Baldur's Gate. Does it seem like we've been here before? Yep, I thought the same thing. And you would be right. But that's okay, let's discuss it anyway.

In this episode I give my thoughts on Icewind Dale, another of the Dungeons and Dragons licensed titles set in the Forgotten Realms role-playing setting. How is this isometric, tactical CRPG different from others? Does snow count? Because there's lots of that. Grab a hot beverage and listen in as I give warm explanation of this frozen title.

On this episode I discuss the sequel to the surprise hit Baldur's Gate with Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn. More Gate, More Amn, more Dungeons and Dragons isometric CRPG goodness that improved on everything from the previous game to become a true classic of gaming and inspiration to decades of RPGs afterward.

My thoughts on the classic isometric CRPG Baldur's Gate, set in the world of the Forgotten Realms for Dungeons and Dragons. Yes, I'm doing another tabletop-based game. But this one just hits different. Listen to geek lore and nerd out with me on this one, won't you?

Special guest Darren from My Guest List Pod reviews and relives his memories of the fabled Dragonlance Saga Gold Box Set (Champions of Krynn 1990, Death Knights of Krynn 1991, and The Dark Queen of Krynn 1992) in both novel form and on the IBM 386 - and just about every other personal computer it was ported to at the time! A fitting return to the worlds of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons in about as old school as you can get without dice and graph paper in front of you.

My thoughts on the roguelite RPG indie hit Darkest Dungeon on PC. Eldritch and cosmic horror themed, Lovecraft-inspired, and full of grindhouse ghouls, this game will test your nerve and try to crush your spirit under a sea of dead adventurers. And I am here for all of it!
