Tried Rogue for boner's sake but got filtered

Settled on Elf for Scrooge McDuck shenanigans and decent spells

Really wish they'd make a new one for consoles but I guess that's just Dragon's Crown

cleric. turn undead is sweet

>Really wish they'd make a new one for consoles but I guess that's just Dragon's Crown

Ditto. Never really got much into DC though. Never really felt like it quite scratched the same itch the same way. Though I suppose that's just the way things are.

It would be tainted if you're looking for a D&D game and not just a cool fantasy sidescrolling beat em up.

>>8955628
I admittedly checked out of proper DnD sometime before 4e so I've been in the dark about a lot of the retarded shit they've done and I think I'm happier that way.

>>8955228
>Rogue
Thief. Don't make this mistake again.

Elf every time. Like trolling friends in ToD when I cast spell and freeze up the entire screen.

The thief is based on the one from the cover of Red Sands.
That's the usual trivia.

>>8955218
>Who'd ya pick?
Its a miracle! All the charaters are good and worth playing. But perhaps the fighter is the best.

>>8955228
>got filtered
Thief is best in a multiplayer party. She's a bit tough to play solo.

>>8956305
I used to to love a lot of those paper backs back in jr high but I don't think I ever read that one. Ate the Dragonlance books for breakfast lunch and dinner though.

>>8956318
Backstab can be brutal but it's hard to get there without a meatshiel... I mean friend.

Incidentally I think someone on the Code of Princess team was a fan of Mystara.

I love when I'm able to tell at a glance, with no ancillary information, "Oh. This is Capcom."
There's just something effervescent about 90s Capcom.

>>8955218
Do you count Gauntlet as a DnD game?

>>8957527
DnD inspired. I think DnD rules are crappy for videogames anyway because hits keep missing all the time. It makes Pool of Radiance, Eye of the Beholder such a slog to play.

For fun, dwarf. For trying but failing to get a 1cc, cleric. Best I ever got was 4 continues and I am already abusing LBO along with every other trick I found.

>>8957495
I do miss it.
>>8957527
>>8957535
Maybe DnD esque in the typical fantasy way but not especially.
>>8957582
That's better than I got I'm not afraid to admit.

>>8955218
>jarpig'd beat 'em ups
Gross.
Go play Cadillacs 'n Dinosaurs or Ninja Baseball Batman or Vendetta instead of this trash.

>>8957535
Every now and then someone recommends Dark Queen of Krynn at me. I've always been interested in the Taladas side of the Dragonlance lore

>>8957527
It does come from "Dandy" which means D and D

>>8958148
Why not play all of them?
Even if you don't like JRPGs normally it's good to step outside of your comfort zone every once in a while.
DDSOM isn't my favorite beat 'em up but I've never felt like the 17.1 MB it takes up on my computer was a waste.

>>8955218
The thief girl.

>>8958861

>>8958148
d&d isn't jarpig retard it's westpig

Any of you guys ever actually get to play on a real arcade cabinet? We had a place near us with a ToD one but they eventually closed down. Most of my experience with both of them was actually through emulation and the saturn port, which was Japanese only. And not mine. Not the hardest language barrier to overcome what with it being a beat em up and all but still. Never did see a Mystara cab in the wild. But four player ToD was a hoot.

>>8960198

I used to own a dual-screen one that I picked up from someone on Craig's List that found two machines in a storage unit auction (the other was a large screen VF3 cabinet). It was missing the game board, so I picked up a Korean version. It was great to play on. Never got four people together to try it but it is wonderful single player.

Unfortunately, the cabinet was in very bad shape and the particle board was falling apart in several places and one of the monitors didn't work. It was a pain to try to restore, and I didn't get very far.

I had to leave it and a few more machines behind when I sold my house and moved across the country. Feels bad because I know a lot more about restoring them now and could do a much better job.

>>8962101
there's probably a way to track them down

>>8962101
Dang. Color me jealous. I'd love to get some real arcade cabs myself but I don't have the room or....money to. Definitely a lottery dream.

>>8955628
whenever i hear people complain about the current state of DnD on /tg/ i always wonder how many of them actually play DnD and/or how many of them actually use the official modules outside of something like adventurer's league.

given the general homebrew nature of TTRPGs as a whole it's a relatively impossible thing to enforce new rulings on individual groups as most groups will likely just houserules or hombrew stuff in the end.

>>8962862
Well that's sort of the thing both ways, isn't it? On the one hand, yeah, nobody can make you play their way but at the same time nobody can make you play their way so why are they making such an effort to change shit in the first place? You're free to be as old or new school as you want but when they start making public statements about "How their really aren't evil races and c'mon can't we get along?" It really does just come off as off putting and self satisfactory so I think I'd just as soon play something else.

The dude who taught me how to play is very skilled with Thief. She's invulnerable during her backdash and can use this and her forward dash to do all kinds of maneuvers to avoid being hit and get that special attack from behind easily.

Cleric, I like being the party's daddy

>>8964352
Trying to go back to Tower after Shadow can be quite the surprise when you're used to all the special moves that aren't really in there yet.

>>8960198
Yup. Tower of doom at the local Namco Arcade called “Time Out”. Welcome to the D&D world! Was so cash

>>8955218
Cleric is a beast in tower. Stick to snakes lol

>>8960085

>>8960198
I wish I'd had the chance to play this in arcades back in the day. I played it on MAME and enjoyed it but it's hard to resist cheating and just dumping infinite quarters into the machine lol

>>8965654
The steam and, I assume, PS3 ports give you infinite credits but keeps a tally of how many you use. As a glowing mark of shame. I'm not really sure what the best way to port these arcade types games is continue wise. Never really been to focused on getting that 1cc challenge myself but I feel like it probably does encourage personal improvement to want to get it lower and lower.

>>8965713
Well, the ps3 version has house rules and a unlock that is a 1 credit challenge. Go for that

>>8956359
Both games share the same artist

>>8965728
Some of those seem pretty interesting tweaks. I wish there was more options. Maybe even for real custom rules and editors. Though I don't know how you'd program that.

>>8955218
>>8955272
>>8956248
She looks just like Deedlit from Record of Lodoss War And that other green elf lady Freya from Valkyrie Profile. Very original crapcom copy paste do not steal.

>>8966381
Basically every Japanese elf copied Deedlit in some way.

>>8966381
Green high elf women are hot.

>>8966390
Nothing wrong with that. Here is another japanese D&D green elfu.

time for some D&D superplaying

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2JlDx0F5aM

>>8966419
dang, didn't know people still played.

>>8966381
>>8966390
Fun fact: Deedlit was inspired by the art of the Japanese Basic D&D box set, which the campaign Lodoss War was based on was played in.

>>8966506
You can definitly see the influence. I do like seeing a lot of the Japanese takes on the more traditionally western systems.

And it of course gets said often but those were the days when races were also classes with only humans really being as flexible.

>>8956102
tl;dr People on twitter said orcs are black people, so now it's racist to have orcs be tribal, violent brutes.

Also twitter said drow are black people, so now drow aren't allowed to be evil, racist, cave dwelling spidergina worshippers.

Basically, twitter should be erased from the internet.

>tfw that's the coolest looking mage in any game ever
>tfw his stuff just constantly freezes the screen and flashes like crazy

Can't play him. Mages always suck for everyone else in these games.

>>8966675
it's more like 60% of humanity should be wiped out.

>>8966675
The leaps people jump to just to be offended. You'd have to purposely be thinking any of that to even make the accusation.

>>8966702
It's honestly less annoying than you think when actually playing. You won't really be spamming your spells outside of certain conditions and bosses.

>>8955218
Thief in red. Backstab all day, most fun move in the game. I renamed her to an ex's name and it gives her the hood to start out at the beginning. The only thing which kills her requiring more credits is the random number generation for swinging the cursed sword enough times.

I don't play the first game as much, but I guess the elf just to ChunLi toe tap everything because the red clad thief was not in that game. Tons of fun playing on linked arcade cabinets with friends since they tend to opt for fighter, cleric, and wizard.

>>8967553
How/why do you own every game?

>>8968194
and not emulating them to boot

>>8967553
I didn't realize there was a physical version.
WHERE'S THE MOUNTAIN DEW?!

>>8968350
JP only.

>The only thing which kills her requiring more credits is the random number generation for swinging the cursed sword enough times.

There are techniques and glitches that can be abused to swing the sword without taking damage. But skilled players can do it without dying by simply buying as many healing rings as possible in the gnome town shop.

>>8968490
I remember I used to just have a second player tag in as Cleric and constantly drop the thing.

>>8966716
I fucking love outtakes and little scenes like this.

>>8955218
>Bmup
>No grabs, not even parry
Meh it's ok, I'll stick with SOR2

>>8969927
grabs got old that's why sword 'em ups became a thing. and parry was rarw in beat 'em up, only king of dragons come to mind and that's debatable

>>8970235
Outside the DnD games I don't think I've played to many sword/weapon based ones. I know King of Dragons and Knights of the Round. Would Sengoku 3 count? Liked that one. Well there's Golden Axe obviously too. Turtles.

>>8970252
Knights of valour and Oriental Legend series too, taiwanese games inspired by d&d arcades

>>8970235
Grabs are so satisfying playing non-grab bmups feels wrong

>>8970332
Wish those chink bmups had grabs
Can't play them as is, so boring

>>8970362

>>8968194
Capcom only made 2 D&D games to my knowledge.

>>8968350
You're probably thinking of Aliens Vs. Predator which did not get a home port. In the fridge. DUH.

>>8969927
>Meh it's ok, I'll stick with SOR2
have you tried SOR2 Remake v5.2 ? so damn good

>>8966675
Tolkien himself said that orc are black people. Did nobody read The Two Towers?

>>8970235
>grabs got old
*laughs in Streets of Rage 4, Fight'n Rage, River City Girls and other modern bmup revivals*

>>8971319
>lying this brazenly
>online
Goddamn twitter and facebook really have poisoned retards beyond all salvation.

1: Tolkien never said that
2: Even if he did, D&D isn't fucking Tolkien anyway unless you're a mouthbreathing retard who thinks any fantasy races instantly mean LotR. In D&D Orcs are their own race, in LotR they're a breed of fucking goblins.

I mean in the 90s, now anything is appreciated because the genre is dead
