I'm still on Dawn of War Soulstorm, took me most of Sunday afternoon and some of the night to beat a level against the sisters of Battle, they're rather tough!

Ummm I think you mean D&D. Not aware of a "C&C" tabletop game.

Also, is it just me or do people get irritated by people refering to their husbands as "hubby"?

I am an Argonian (is that how its spelled?) Profiteer in Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. I love alchemy..

But, for my more modern era tastes, I enjoy playing Counter Strike.

LOL Sakaroth you're a grumpy person!

I thought maybe C&C might be a tabletop version of Command & Conquer?

Ummm No, I quite mean C&C. Castles and Crusades (and just because you are not aware of something, it does not mean it does not exist...). Distributed by Troll Lord Games. Redesign of D&D - using 3rd edition OGL puttered down to 1st "Classic". Meaning, complexity of 3rd, with simplicity of 1st.

And I prefer to call him hubby, as sometimes husband sounds brash and cold.

There are multiple modules put out for D&D using both D&D and Diablo 2 rules. There is a box-set with rules and items, but I'm running Diablo2: Diablerie.

Diablo II: Diablerie D&D 3.5 D20 WTC 11760 - D&D 3.0 & 3.5 : Diablo - Dungeons & Dragons RPG

Re: What game are you playing thread

The Witcher...one of the strangest games I have played in, well for ever. I actually saw a guy peeing in an alley, yes you could see the stream, and I heard some NPC say, "Your Mother sucks Dwarf C**K" This game is definetly not for the fient of heart. The combat in this game is outstanding, best sword fighting I have ever seen in any game, period. I only wish I could get my hands on a version that had better translation from Polish to English, I can tell there is a ton of dialogue missing and that bothers me.

World of Warcraft...I went back to this game this past winter and purchased the Burning Crusade expansion. I have to say that expansion has added a ton of fun to the game, though the older part of the world is almost abandoned now. Also the way Blizzard changed PvP is sad, it used to be about fun but now its about getting the required honor points to get your welfare purples. Very sad indeed.

NeverWinter Nights 2..and the expansion Mask of the Betrayer, plus any of the Hall of Fame modules from the Vault. This game just never ends, there is always something else to download that extends its play value.

Amusingly, when I read this in your first post, I immediately assumed someone had released a Command & Conquer tabletop game and started scouring the web for it. (My wife got me the Starcraft board game for Christmas and I've been loving it...)

Of course, Castles and Crusades. Guess I'll stop searching for a Command & Conquer game now.

Re: What game are you playing thread

*laughs* Sorry guys about the confusion -- I must admit that since I'm used to being around gaming forums, C&C is the common shortcut for Castles and Crusades. Its just easier to type C&C.

Hey Durandal, have you thought about getting or played the World of Warcraft board game? It looks pretty great.

Yeah, I've definitely considered it. That's by Fantasy Flight, the same folks who did the Starcraft board game. I've got their catalog sitting on my coffee table, and honestly, I don't think there's a game in it that doesn't look interesting:

Fantasy Flight Games

They also did a board game for Doom, which I think is hilarious.

Yes, the Starcraft game is quite good. Really beautiful and well-designed, too. It's complex, which I like in a tabletop game, but not ridiculously so. I'd recommend it!

Re: What game are you playing thread

Let's see:
- Xenosaga (Playing this can feel like work sometimes, but I'm a finisher, so...)
- World of Wastemytimecraft

...and the various Touhou games when I really feel like getting a headache. See the video for details.

YouTube - Touhou 10 Mountain of Faith - No Deaths Extra [Part 2 of 2]

(No, that is not me playing. That person is like insane)
