TPK 35 - Press E 3 Times (Patreon)
0On this episode of Total Pebble Knockdown:
E3 2022 is dead. We killed it... with shrugs. But in it’s wake, a whole bunch of game company streams will be flooding our lives over the next couple weeks. What companies are not having conferences? Do we know about any games being announced? Could we ever hope for a new IP? Will E3 2023 be more for gamers then the industry executives? Sorry, I made myself laugh there… Also, was Frostpunk good or bad?

What does the average PC on the street take as a class? Should your bartender be thinking about being a fighter, a rogue or maybe a monk (Way of Drunken Master obviously)? Alex goes over NPC classes from D&D 3.5E to show how this was handled in previous versions. Nathan looks at making Indiana Jones in D&D. And we discuss how this might work in other applications.
There are some games that you go back to many times. The question becomes: Why? What qualities do games have to possess to draw us back into it’s world over and over again? We discuss the nature of repeat playability, the games we went back to and the ones that we will never revisit, regardless of how good they were.
