I have been watching playthroughs of this game and it is very cool. A fun blend of miniature combat and RPG. I really like how sometimes it is co-op and other time competitive.

I’ve been resisting the urge to purchase this game for a few weeks now. The only thing that allowed me to resist is my lack of time to play all the games i already own.

Now this is an RPG system I could get behind. First I’ve seen of it so I will definitely investigate further.

As a person who is always the GM I love this concept. Also the fact that they use Bones minis is great.

Intriguing concept, really like the idea of a digital GM, as long as it is well executed. Will check it out.

Yes. This looks tempting. My question is, “Does the AI GM do the PC booking ?”

Do mean update and level up the characters?

No…when you buy you DL a PDF that is fillable for all the stats. Each faction has its own little “sourcebook” to choose upgrade options from when you use shadow points (XP) to upgrade.

The trouble with RPGs is finding fellow players!

At some point, someone is going to get combining apps and tabletop games right. This looks extremely interesting.

It sounds interesting but I don’t know how an app can handle player creativity, or conduct conversations without them being as scripted as a computer game.
