Gaming Mers? *looks around*

[Winged Mermaid]

Hubby and I started playing Diablo III after we picked up game+expansion on Tuesday. Having a blast so far- LOVE the co-op, I'm always looking for good games that we can play together (but I hate shooters :P).

@ Iona- If you haven't already, you two should try Portal 2. It has the profile of a FPS, but it's a puzzle game that feels totally different from a shooter. Miss Marlin and I have been playing and having lots of fun.

I am TERRIBLE at shooters!

That being said, I am SOOO looking forward to Assassin's Creed: Unity! EGAD!
Also, the new Dragon Age looks promising! My hubby already has it on preorder!

I wasn't aware any of the portal games could be co-op- I'll have to look into that! Thanks for the suggestion Marlin. I LOVE puzzle games like Tomb Raider and Zelda but hadn't thought about Portal!

Yeah me too XP Loved the first Dragon Age, wasn't as much of a fan of the 2nd. I'm waiting on reviews for the next one, which I'll be waiting for the price to go down in the mean time anyway haha. I think I'd love Assassin's Creed but never started on it. I haven't played too many games in recent years- even though I love them- because once I get into a game I don't get much else done til it's done :P That was one of the reasons I quit WoW, and also why I haven't touched Skyrim.

I can barely beat level 5, so I think level 12 counts

Speaking of gaming, I am debating my options. Do I continue to run my 3.5e D&D undersea game that I have run online via IRC each Sunday since 2007? I am down to three PCs, these days; an oceanid wizard/Oneiromancer, a sea elf Blackwater ninja, and a lizardman druid. Do I rock the boat and change the ruleset from 3.5e to the newer 5e? I did as much with my last game, an undersea play-by-post that went from 1e to 3e in one fell swoop. Or do I start anew, with an undersea entry-level Pathfinder/Cerulean Seas game run online with the more robust virtual tabletop Roll20?

Yes, finding new blood for a game like mine is difficult. Most folks have either moved on to newer rulesets, or they prefer not to game online, or they cannot meet on Sunday nights. And yeah, setting the game entirely underwater has scared off the lion's share of prospective players.

I personally would be quite interested in an online campaign, Merman Dan.. though I must admit, the last time I played was just before the v4 edition release.. I did like the 3.5 edition ruleset, although I still know how to calculate thac0

[Odette]

I am dying to play any Zelda game right now.

[Raayvhen]

I was just playing A Link Between Worlds...

[PearlieMae]

I thought this was interesting: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-...ity-180952452/

And I forgot to mention, I also play Blendoku. I kick some Blendoku ass!

[Kaila Mermaid]

Did someone say Skyrim? The thing that keeps consuming my life due to my inability to progress. Every time I enter Dawnstar my game file corrupts and I have to start completely over. I feel like Sisyphus

[Mermaid Wesley]

I just played a game called wolf quest for like five hours. Ow my eyeballs. It was free. You get to be a wolf and do wolf things. Yis

I love Wolf Quest!

[Mermaid Jaffa]

I have Wildstar but it was sooo laggy, I just gave up, uninstalled and went back to wow

[MermaidCelesteFL]

Final Fantasy fangirl here! I'm working on the Tales of series right now, too. On top of that, I follow a lot of gamers on youtube, and watch them play through horror games, as I can't possibly play them myself.

FFX is my favorite game in the world!

I'm an MMORPG kinda girl. Used to play WoW, and Guild Wars. Rift is what I play to currently get my fix. I love visiting this lovely mer-beauty in game. My boyfriend found her in-game and brought me to her as a surprise since he knows how much I love mermaids. I was so happy when I saw her. I want a seaweed bra like that!

I also love RTS games too.

Though the fifth edition of the Dungeons & Dragons ruleset is now in a staggered release, I have given some though to trying my hand at a Pathfinder campaign. Based in part upon the System Reference Document, the core rules of 3.5e D&D provided as part of the Open Gaming License, Pathfinder has evolved into a its own compelling adventure game.

Unlike D&D, where the Dungeon Master and players have separate rulebooks, Pathfinder provides the Core Rulebook, placing player and Game Master rules into a single volume. There are monster tomes known as Bestiaries, additional books for GMs and players, and books that expand the bases of magic, monsters, races, and classes. These books are readily available as hardcopies and PDFs.

The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game is released under the Open Game License and has a System Reference Document of its own, an online compendium known as the Pathfinder Reference Document.

In 1998 I started my first undersea campaign, “Beneath the Pinnacles of Azor’alq”, a first edition Advanced D&D play-by-post adventure. In 2007 I created “Heirs of Turucambi”, a 3.5e D&D chat-based game set beneath the surface of the Oljatt Sea on Oerth, the World of Greyhawk. I currently run this game each Sunday night. 

Alluria Publishing has created a series of robust undersea supplements for Pathfinder, starting with the Cerulean Seas campaign setting. I would utilize these supplements, also available in printed and electronic formats, for my Pathfinder endeavors.

My current undersea game uses a simple chat interface, Internet Relay Chat or IRC. Should I run a Pathfinder/Cerulean Seas adventure, I would employ a more advanced interface, a Virtual Tabletop application called Roll20. Roll20 allows players to share a common screen, seeing a map of the adventure locale and simple game statistics combined with videoconferencing capabilities. I would use Roll20 in conjunction with Hero Lab, an interactive character sheet.

A minimum investment in my new campaign would be less than $30; $9.99 for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook PDF and $19.95 for the Cerulean Seas Campaign Setting PDF. Access to Roll20 is free. Hard copies of the aforementioned books can be obtained for $50 each. Additional Pathfinder PDFs can be obtained for $10 each, while PDFs of Cerulean Seas supplements range from $10 to $15.
