Computer Game for 5th Edition D&D - Sword Coast Legends

A new D&D computer game has been announced and is available for pre-order. Here is a link to the info. Sword Coast Legends (horrible name) looks like it will play similar to the Baldur's Gate, and Never Winter Nights games.

The one drawback in my opinion is the need to be logged into Steam to play the game. While that isn't even close to a deal breaker, I love the Left 4 Dead stuff and it requires the same, I do find the "must be logged in" requirement for games an appalling trend.

The game allows 1 to 4 players, and there is also a Dungeon Master mode so someone can run adventures in the game. My group has a history of messing with the NWN games this way periodically and in all likelihood we might end up doing the same with this game as well.

Oh, and I bet Magic Missile will be the best combat spell in the computer game too!

JOHN HENRY! - The RPG

In response to Stu Rat's comment to the Something Wicked post.

JOHN HENRY!

The Role-Playing Game

The year is 1870 and your hearty band of railroad workers

is facing their toughest challenge yet. You've braved the 

elements, the freezing cold, the scorching heat, wind, rain,

storms. You've survived landslides, cave-ins, and accidents

of all kinds. But nothing prepared you for the horror you

now face. You and your crew are fighting for your very

jobs against the nightmare that is mechanization!

The mighty steam hammer has come to take yer jerbs!

In JOHN HENRY! - The Role-Playing Game players take

on the roles of railroad workers with special talents and

skills, working together to beat back the tides of progress.

Classes include Steel Drivers - the class of JOHN HENRY himself!

Montebancs, Thieves, Prospectors, Cooks, and others.

So pick up your copy today and SWING THE HAMMER.

Stu, your comment had me howling. Great response I could not resist posting about. Sorry to say, nope this wasn't what the clue is about, but keep going! If it helps me come up with more fun to write posts, all-the-better!
