Wow, a streamlined RPG!

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Wow, a streamlined RPG!

Have yourselves a look at this.

It's an RPG... not bad at all, in fact. Very entertaining, and best of all it's free. What more could you want?

The system is an excellent idea, I quote from the site information section:


Progress Quest is a next generation computer role-playing game. Gamers who have played modern online role-playing games, or almost any computer role-playing game, or who have at any time installed or upgraded their operating system, will find themselves incredibly comfortable with Progress Quest's very familiar gameplay. Progress Quest follows reverently in the footsteps of recent smash hit online worlds, but is careful to streamline the more tedious aspects of those offerings. Players will still have the satisfaction of building their character from a ninety-pound level 1 teenager, to an incredibly puissant, magically imbued warrior, well able to snuff out the lives of a barnload of bugbears without need of so much as a lunch break. Yet, gone are the tedious micromanagement and other frustrations common to that older generation of RPG's.


As you will see should you install the game, there is none of the typical grinding that as endemic in many of today's RPGs and has an excellent story to boot.

Oh god. It's so stereotypical it sounds like a parody.

The drinking song is odd. I prefer Moxy Fruvous's.
This is a little off topic, but still: why is it that beer always comes in flagons in these fantasy RPGs? Why can't it come in glasses, or bottle, or regular bloody cups?
