It’ll be out in 2026, and Starbreeze are being upfront with the fact it’ll be a games-as-a-service-type game.

Boo, games as a service blow. BG 3 already has co-op

GaaS, GTFO.

I can just play legend of Zelda through Skyrim. Or I’ll just learn actual DnD and not have to subscribe to shit.

Better hurry. It’s only a matter of time before WOTC turns D&D into a service as well.

Almost there. Look at the progress of dndbeyond.com. It’s just a matter of when they stop printing physical books.

For sure thought about that when typing. At least digital or even physical publishing is still pretty low barrier for the general public so companies can’t really own imagination.

I would literally rather pay humans to attend my games than GaaS

I’ll offer my services as a cleric for $20/session.

Bold of you to assume my utterly terrible homebrew has healing magic

I guess I’ll be up front with having zero interest in playing a GaaS game lol

Try Solasta. D&D ruleset, 4-player multi, 3 campaigns from devs and tons of custom content since there’s an official campaign builder tool

Solasta is great and made by a small company. They know how to make a D&D game. Loved it. I did their survey about what game they should do next and asked for D&D Gothic horror like Ravenloft.

I love Solasta. It doesn’t have quite the same narrative depth and player agency as (the first half of) Baldur’s Gate 3, but I think it’s a far better simulator of tabletop D&D. The mod support is awesome.

I don’t want to make a “lifetime commitment” to a game, I’ve already tried that with my ex-wife.
