A List of RPGs - A Codex Collaboration

[BosanskiSeljak]

How about a list of only good rpgs?

Way too subjective, would never get done. Unless you want to contribute to "good RPGs"

It's easy, anything I like is good RPG, anything I don't like is dogshit

 

[Rincewind]

The links to reviews, videos, etc. is nice. Btw, check out my signature

 

[Yellow Panda or Something]

Thanks for mentioning Knights of the Chalice it's basically one of the best games you mentioned.

This might turn out to be a thread of epic proportions and a reference for years to come.

My only suggestion is for it to be an Abu Antar’s curated list and not some democratic where-is-my-beloved-rpg-which-in-reality-is-not-very-rpglike list.

Cheers!

It basically is since he's the only one who can edit the posts, so there's no worries there.

I don't want any potential contributor adding stuff that might be removed later.

I'll always be just a little loose on my definition when submitting and just expect some stuff to get cut. Better to have it cut than to accidentally miss out on a good entry.

I Can assure you that it is not dead. I hope to have 500-1000 games by the end of the year.

I Can assure you that it is not dead. I hope to have 500-1000 games by the end of the year.

Let me know when you finish adding in all the 2012/2013/2014 entries I gave, there's mistakes on specific GOTY ones I'll go in and fix, but I'll do it when they're in the main post on top of the other entries I didn't do (all Codex placements and Country of Origin updates).

I'm also going to start putting every entry into an excel doc with all the data (except links), can do a lot with that when there's a hefty list done.

 

[Nortar]

(all Codex placements and Country of Origin updates).

How do you chose country of origin in cases when the dev team is multinational?
For example, ATOM is as much ukrainian, as it is russian (in fact, I suspect, it's more the latter, then the former); this list is not for political brownie points I hope.
Or should the country of origin for WOTR be listed as Cyprus?

I go by where the dev team is based out of. If it's multinational, I go by majority which is what I saw written for the ATOM team.

Maybe they got rid of all the Russians after the оПеРаЦиЯ, not sure since I don't follow dev news.

If you happen to know what the majority was at the time of creation for ATOM, let me know. I don't give a shit about geopolitics so it wasn't because of that. I'm just trying to avoid "international" as country of origin (which has only been an issue for a couple of entries I've done so far)

 

[Nortar]

Atomboy Can you tell us what country of origin should be listed for ATOM?

 

[Abu Antar]

I have the 2012 games left to add. I will add the updated data to the #A games this week.

I've been a bit busy, and when I had some free time, I have been playing games. Both of my most anticipated Jap games released within a few days in late February.

The project might be slow, but it is ongoing. We now have 117 130 games. You can add whatever tags you want. I will be "curating" them. I will accept basically anything, but as you might know... autism, autism never changes. I want to have the final say, which hasn't really been much of a problem (yet).

I wouldn't mind people telling me which games should be marked with yellow text (codex relevant games). There might be a few Asian games that will get this treatment, too.

No idea, I don't know the guy.
Considering his game, he must be a fellow dwarf though.

I only mentioned ATOM before coz I'm certain it's not ukrainian-made. Even if they had a couple of devs residing in UA, I can bet internal language they used in development was russian. The same goes for Encased and both Pathfinders.

I only mentioned ATOM before coz I'm certain it's not ukrainian-made. Even if they had a couple of devs residing in UA, I can bet internal language they used in development was russian. The same goes for Encased and both Pathfinders.

I guess this is BS then.

Ah, the things we do for money.
But who am I to agrue with the screenshot from the internet.
Owlcat has also removed russian language from their web-site and has Cyprus listed as HQ address.
I hope there won't be need to edit the origin country if at some point those sellouts decide it's now better to self-identify as chinese company or somesuch.
