@halenhargreevs Enderal: Forgotten Stories.

@mrmikeMTL Baldur’s Gate 3 was the last knockout, while Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader and Tainter Grail Fall of Avalon were both excellent.

@MissPookems Tyranny. I expected a Pillars of Eternity spinoff and was stunned by its originality. https://t.co/BNWwlZ93Uq

@kalaelizabeth Troika’s games Vampire the Masquerade Blloodlines and Arcanum of Steamworks and Magick Obscura were quite transgressive and are definitely worth a look if you don’t mind applying a few patches and putting up with a little jank.

@CrocodileChuck True. Perhaps you can become the Australian Blue-Spec Collector…

@MissPookems Ultima V. I couldn’t believe that there could be so much story in a few floppy discs. The game came with a cloth map, moonstone and replica coin. The entire experience was astonishing.

@kalaelizabeth I don’t think it’s possible for me to pick just one, I tried ranking and making tiers, but in the end I just settled on making a “Hall of Fame” of my favorite RPG’s where it’s more about celebration and less about competition.

@AnnieTWard Keefe’s Say Nothing was extraordinary, but I’m undecided about his new one. I have been reading a lot of fiction, so it is probably time to switch to non-fiction, most likely Adrian Goldsworthy’s new Athens and Sparta. 📖

@Jforjazz176064 Such astonishing, unclassifiable music. He may have had to stop after this even if he wasn’t ill. I mean, where do you go from here?

@ConcordJazz @milesdavis @JohnColtrane @butcherBRWN @paynic Who is in the band besides the co-leaders? Covering Kind of Blue and A Love Supreme is pretty bold, hope it works out.
