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.

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.

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 )

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 :-)

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.

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).

Speaking of Baldur's Gate - has anyone played a game of that type lately? Party based RPG

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!!
