Re: Current other active game software
KoDP is a really unique game. More like playing through a story than an RPG or a management type game. Definitely worth playing if you can find yourself a copy.

Re: Current other active game software
I'd recommend playing it 'Warmongering Thrallmaster' style, at least once. The results can be quite remarkable.
Perhaps an Eurmal-worshipping king might be entertaining, too.

Re: Current other active game software
If you enjoyed the setting for King of Dragon Pass, you should check out http://www.glorantha.com for the latest stuff set in that world. Most of the RuneQuest3 pen&paper rpg materials were set there as well, and might be worth looking for.
I've played in several pnp rp campaigns with Dave (the guy who wrote KoDP) and still run into him occasionally -- it's really cool to see people are still enjoying his game )

Re: Current other active game software
Does anybody here knows the games-workshop boardgame bloodbowl (brutal fantasy football(rugby) in the warhammer universe). There is a free client with a very cool online community called fumbbl (fumbbl.com) ... that's the only other game i'm playing ... developing your teams, playing tournament, etc ... very cool and very addictive :-)

Re: Current other active game software
I've been following the development of Hinterland, a kind of village builder/party-based Roguelike hybrid. The flavor seems similar to the more classic fantasy, like Dominions - less elves and fireballs and more nymphs and steel. Otherwise, I've been playing Company of Heroes and Scrabble.

Re: Current other active game software
I've recently been distracted by Civ IV, after getting my hands on the 'Complete' edition (imported from EU -- the 'Gold' one available in the US only has one of the two expansions).

Re: Current other active game software
Speaking of Baldur's Gate - has anyone played a game of that type lately? Party based RPG

Re: Current other active game software
Every now and then I load NWN2 on my PC but can never decide on a character to play. I miss BG/BG2: those were good games. I also was a big fan of MM6 - loved the Fly spell and motoring around knocking griffons out of the sky. Can't believe how linear all the new games are. I just want to frikken fly man!!
