oh speaking of, demise is gettin a new expansion p soon. it's not technically a wizardrylike, tho; it's based on avatar, which is the game wizardry was based on. anyway if you like old school dungeon crawling you can't get much more old school than that

EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A WHITE WHALE INTO THE PEQUOD. IT'S HELL'S HEART AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I STRIKE AT THEE ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, ISHMAEL.
i've been trying to get into death of the outsider but i think my problem is i have to just let go and stop trying to play perfect stealth/deadly. medium-to-loud/deadly just seems like it's more fun with this powerset (not super into the powerset)

i did find the bonecharms that let you high-jump and instablink so at least that's an improvement.

Tons of old korean mmos are still around too, I think they all still have pretty big bases in Korea.
