🏛️ Traveller RPG uses SOC in place of Charisma.
But it’s so much more than just charm.
It’s rank, influence, and how the universe treats you.

Happy 40th anniversary to Enix’s Dragon Quest! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

The series got its start on the Famicom on this day forty years ago (27 May 1986). The OG game released for the NES in North America (but not in PAL regions😭) in August ‘89.

📚 Traveller uses EDU for more than just "book smarts."
It reflects your training, certifications, and real experience.

Traveller has three mental stats: INT, EDU, and SOC.
INT — short for Intellect — is your intelligence and quick thinking.
It’s like D&D’s Intelligence, but Traveller uses it differently.

Ready for battle! #FinalFantasyV #PixelRemaster #ClassicRPGs

The screenshot depicts a scene from the game FINAL FANTASY V, characterized by its distinctive pixelated art style. In the foreground, two characters are visible: one is a knight with a sword in his hand, while the other appears to be a bipedal creature, possibly an enemy or a unique character type, given its unusual appearance. The setting is outdoors, with lush greenery and a clear sky. There are no additional UI elements visible that provide context within this specific scene. The perspective is from a slightly elevated angle, typical of many classic role-playing games like FINAL FANTASY V, which allows for a view of the main characters while still capturing part of the environment. The actions depicted suggest an encounter or combat situation between the knight and the creature.

Memorable Classic Role-playing Games

Diablo, Fallout, Swords and Serpents, Baldur's Gate and more. These are the classic role-playing games (RPGs) that we grew up on. This week Johnny and John are joined by returning guest Ed (and even his mum - Happy Mother's Day Ed's Mum!) to talk about what we loved, and we didn't love, about old-school RPGs. Interesting companion's? We got that covered. Mandatory level-grinding? That too! We even give our impressions of more recent play throughs of two Nintendo classics, Earthbound and Super Mario RPG.
