Venerable old Dungeons & Dragons has been around since 1974, and has been an influence on videogames from the beginning. Without it we wouldn't have foundational texts like Colossal Cave Adventure or Rogue. Other tabletop RPGs like Vampire: The Masquerade and Shadowrun have been adapted into excellent videogames, and everyone's got their fingers crossed Cyberpunk 2020's adaptation into Cyberpunk 2077 will be another.
There's a modern renaissance of interest in sitting around a table pretending to be someone else. Do you play tabletop RPGs? Let us know in the comments.
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
All available May 5.
Its like the final episode of the Sapranos. You gonna go to make a comment and when you click add th-
I think the only game here for me is Nine Sols. Was always interested in that game.
Good month for me, I wanted that particular footy game and thought it might be due. Anyway who cares, shame about the site I'll miss the comment sections. All the best everyone.
Use to all the time, but now don't have the time or those that I played with don't have the time for various reasons.
I grew up plays D&D 2E with my parents all the time, then did a ton of home brew RP's for the better part of 15 years that were based more on anime, now I have a group that I play D&D 5E (And various other rule sets) with every week.
I would love too but there is no community in my area, same with Magic the Gathering. Occasionally you will come across a few people who play but they are the extreme stereotypes you see in movies/tv (greasy, unwashed basement dwellers who don't stop playing their character once the session ends).
Hard to find the time and coordinate other people's schedules.
