Through a little research, I believe RT is the only RPG currently, which is unfortunate because I think it's a great way to soak up the setting.

I have my eye on Mechanicus, because it looks very XCOM influenced. I like the smaller-scale squad-based tactics much more than the army-scale grand strategy/RTS style.

Any other suggestions? I know because of what the original game is, the RTS ones are probably going to be the majority of the PC titles, but there seems to be some representation in just about any genre. I even saw an Ork dogfighting (planes) game.

Obviously that means Gonzo plays Fonzie, breaks the jukebox worse when he hits it, then says something about "picking up chicks" and leaves with Camilla.

Kermit is probably Richie, Scooter is Potsie, and Fozzie is Ralph.

I haven't thought out the rest of the casting, but Ted McGinley should definitely come in as the token human to end out the bit.

I know a little about Orks and their weird group psychic thing where painting their ships red to go fast really makes them faster, and their tech only works because they think it should. But then I guess Orks aren't even in this game.

I get that it's a violent, black-vs-grey universe. I think it's the originator of the term grimdark? The emperor is some immortal Mr House asshole who's worshipped as a god, which powers some of their tech and protects them from chaos via his psyker shit? And he's kind of a fascist, but it's that or bloody chaos?

Rogue traders seem like somewhere between a privateer and a baron, plundering tithes in their castle-ships and acting as an arm of the Imperium in backwater space?

There are more wizards than I expected. Not sure if these mechanicus dudes are pulling "Temples of Syrinx" thing, or they know how the tech works but not why so they worship it? Or if it's actually machine spirits?

Anything super foundational that I'm missing?

Found this through the game Pistol Whip. God I love goofy power metal that doesn't take itself too seriously.

So far I've just been checking out free games to get a feel for the system, but it looks like I have a 3 month pass for Horizon+ ready to activate, so I can try some other stuff once I have an idea what to start with.

I've been having some fun with Ironstrike and War of Wizards so far. I like the concept of the virtual CCG in Cards & Tankards, though it does seem like it's going to try and bleed money like most "free" card battlers.

Nothing with too many hearty belly laughs, it was abdominal surgery.

I played the first one of these a long, long time ago. Puzzle platformers where you rotate between characters with different abilities to guide them all to a goal. Reminded me a lot of The Lost Vikings, but traditional fantasy and less funny.

I understand there are novels and comics where they both make appearances after their shows, and maybe I read that Wesley is in Picard?

I'm familiar with none of that material, so I'm just curious, does going Pact of the Traveler or Pact of the Wormhole give better spacelock spells?

I think I played whichever one was on my Amiga waaaay back in the day, and whichever one was on PS3 for a bit. I was also a big fan of some of the Might and Magic games, which I feel were something of a bridge between the old dungeon crawlers and something like Morrowind.

Anyway I was thinking of trying one out again. Any recommendations, maybe one with modern QOL features to ease in?

I see there's a remake of Wizardry 1(?) and remasters of the Etrian Odyssey games in the past couple years. I'm also kind of intrigued by Undernauts, which looks like it might throw a little Shin Megami Tensei flavor in?

I played 1-4 back in the day, but my memory of the details is pretty fuzzy. Something something Umbrella releases a new virus like iPhones every few years, something something, somehow Wesker returned.

Anyway, I hear 7 is kind of a soft reboot? Is that a good one to get back into the series with, and not have to know 12 games of plot?

And if 7 is good, does 8/Village follow directly from that without needing too much prior game knowledge?
