Ive been playing Curse of the Dead Gods (from the giveaway- thanks again!). I’m currently through 3/3 of the first tier runs and 2/3 of the 2nd tier runs (then 3x3rd tier and 1x 4th tier from what i can tell without spoilers).

I’m having quite a bit of fun with it. It’s a roguelite that has some interesting combinations of your gear (weapons+relics) + curses (which are generally bad but some have bonuses in addition to the bad). Last run i did i had a relic that gives +1 constitution any time i was under 50% health when entering a new room, a claw weapon that scaled with constitution, a 2 relics that healed me 16% per room, and another relic that gave me 100% of damage taken as gold. So basically every room i was triggering traps to go down to 34% health and make several hundred free gold which in turn also scales my weapon. My claw weapon was doing 50 damage per strike and shredded enemies. I almost beat the 2nd boss of that stage no-hit on my first attempt because it was such a strong combo lol.

Nightmares

I completely forgot this game was a thing. But not planning on buying a switch2 for one game

Would love Lies of P. Saw a bit of a boss fight on a stream and it seemed right up my alley. Haven’t heard of a lot of those though

Thanks for posting this and for pointing it out on my thread (i deleted it as duplicate). Federation must have had a hiccup because this post didn’t show up when i searched this morning.

Since you say you’re pretty lore oriented then i would start with DS1. It holds up. If you were just meh on lore then id say dive in with DS3 since that’s my favorite fromsoft game

I like to think my rules aren’t sketchy, but the closest would be for character building my rules for uncommon and rare options are “tell me a story i can’t say no to”

For uncommon options I’m pretty willing to take anything as long as it’s not just an obvious power grab. For rare stuff i look more to see how much thought they’ve put into it and if it would negatively affect the rest of the party.

End result: I’ve had some pretty freak tables and others where everyone sticks to core ancestries.

I wonder if there will be a new slayer iconic then, since it seemed they used the pf1 slayer iconic Zadim for the pf2 Avenger class archetype

Haven’t played demon souls. Didn’t love elden ring. Of the remaining DS3 is my favorite but part of that i think is just because it’s the most familiar. Sekiro and bloodborne i loved as well. If i had to choose i think bloodborne 2 because id love to see more of that story the most alongside new atrocities, and i really loved the layers of exploration/shortcut it brought.

I’m curious, when you say sekiro has so much untapped potential, does anything in particular come to mind?
