Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I've been playing this computer game Outward, it's medieval fantasy but you are not a Chosen One so you start off sucking - and you have to eat, sleep and drink. Gritty.

I am absolutely bollocks at combat, but that's okay. In many cases you can run in, find the loot chest, kite the monster away from it, loot the chest, and run out.

As the AD&D1e Player's Handbook said: "Avoid unnecessary encounters."

It'd be fun doing that tabletop.

It has nice music, too, almost oriental.

So far it looks good, and I can recommend it. Anyone else had a go?

I gave this game serious consideration.  It looked to have a lot of the things I enjoy.  Brothers got Valheim, so we went with that instead.  I will give it a try later in the year (too many games on my comp at a time makes for sleepless nights).  I would recommend Valheim if you enjoy the perspective of some survival as well as some encounters its better to run.  I have played a good bit of Kenshi as well, which is hard to describe fully, it sort of takes playing it to see if its for you or not.
