    What kickstarted your world building journey? If you can identify, what was the first point of inspiration that led you where you are now? For me it was the cover of Island of the Lizard King (yes, only the cover) and the game, Lords of Magic. #worldbuilding

    GUYS. GUYS. Memories of an old video game that I ADORED as a kid struck me like a thunderbolt and I realized that I can play it and I can STREAM it! And I'm gonna do that this week! It's Lords of Magic, a 1997 fantasy strategy game, and the nostalgia might actually kill me live on stream! Come see!

    Reskeet a picture of the very first game you remember playing. There are three different ones I remember playing as a little kid. I'm honesty not sure which one I played first. It was either Evel Knievel for the Gameboy Color, Super Mario World, or Lords of Magic.

    - Arcanum (Just spent an insane amount of time in it) - Diablo (First Action RPG) - Baldur's gate (First CRPG) - Lords of Magic (First strategy game) - Morrowind (which is a bit later than the others but was my first console RPG so it's basically how I learned how to use a controller)

    Who dares stand before my fairy horde!? Oh… Oh no… My Frost Giant Mage!!! 😭 Game Over, but can really you be upset with such a delicious late 90’s cutscene? Lords of Magic truly brings me back to some late night gaming sessions when I was young.

    Schedule for next week! We're wrapping up one more campaign in Lords of Magic, then continuing the 90's nostalgia train with another game from my childhood: Master of Orion II, a 4X space strategy game hailing all the way from 1996! Prime the plasma cannons and load your photon torpedoes!

    Oops, I streamed for 2 hours longer than intended because I was having so much fun with Lords of Magic! Had some trouble with a bug right at the end, but man this game is SO full of magic. More on Thursday! We passed the love to @purrcelaindoll.bsky.social, who's playing the demo for Heartworm!

    My go to favorite game is Lords of Magic, the UI sucks, the AI is so easy to beat, has some annoying bugs but the fantasy art style is charming, the music is really good and I just love it dispite its flaws. (I wouldn't mind a rework of sorts thst fixes the garbage hero inventory )

    And if there were patches, you 100% had the choice to run it without them. There was a bad patch for Lords Of Magic SE that completely screwed up the difficulty scaling. Of course the version GOG had up for the longest time (I think they supposedly fixed it) was the base game plus that patch.

    I saw some cousins of mine playing Lords of Magic at a family reunion once, and I eventually got a copy for myself It's clunky, convoluted, and a confusing strategy game I love it so much, this game is everything fantasy I could hope for Keith Zizza's soundtrack for it slaps

    I keep wanting to check out Against the Storm. Age of Wonders IV looks very cool and reminds me of Lords of Magic. But I think I want something historical? Age of Empires IV is on Game Pass but I panicked the first time I tried it.

    Lords of Magic is also fun. Its like a mix of D&D and turn based RTS. Its also very cheap on steam. Also super old game.

    I think it was because installation times were slower, and the screen provided a feeling of anticipation for the game you were about to play. I remember that when installing Lords of Magic especially

    Jedi Knight games as well, mp was wild. Funny that my go to game for when I don't know what to play is a far lesser game called Lords of Magic, with Mantera mod of course. Just something about the style, music and over all feel I love. AI is bad and buggy buut still go back I do.

    For something more unusual, I recently discovered Lords of Magic was on steam. It’s kind of a weird mix of RPG and RTS. Turn based strategy game but each unit has RPG elements such as equipment, level up, spells, etc. Mid 1990s era game though so…functionality is limited, save often.

    As a side note: Lords of Magic is currently on sale on Steam for a mere $1.29! If you were intrigued by anything you saw on stream, go give it a shot! (Not sponsored, I just love the game!) store.steampowered.com/app/404040/L...

    1 - Lords of Magic is one of my oldest favorite games. Literally would waste away hours and hours of my childhood mastering this game to defeat the big bad enemy. I still have the original CD-ROM I used to play it with, but I was delighted to find the game available on Steam.

    Lords of Magic is one of the first PC games I played. The vibe was very 'generic Tolkien fantasy'. The voice lines and soundtrack were very charming and I still find the game inspiring to this day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3ji...

    9. This game was another that I don’t know many people played. I loooooved this game and remember being part of its modding community. Age of Wonders Shadow Magic was amazing! It was like Lords of Magic but better. Love my Draconians <3

    3. Time for an old obscure one I never seen anyone else play. Lords of Magic! It was a quirky turned based strategy game with rts style battles. Similar to Total War. This game was my introduction into turned based strategy <3 love this game!

    I was hyperfixated on a game called Lords of Magic back in '98 and have been expanding its world ever since. Now, I play D&D within that world and have a tonne of art ideas based around it. Besides that, I just REALLY love creating OCs in general.

    About the setting... Set in the world of Urak, it's loosely based on a video game called Lords of Magic, though 90% is my own expansion, including all locations and most characters. I've basically kept the pantheon and a few canon events that don't occur during the timeframe of the campaign.

    After looking at baby name websites for ages, I ended up going with the first name I ever used for a video game character, back when I first played Lords of Magic.

    Edge of technology I never kept up . 8 adapted . I appreciated. Function over flash that blinds the 8 second insects. Bring on Moore's law. Microchip collapse. Complete drought of parts. Not going to affect me in the least. I can game anywhere on anything. 35 year old games like LORDS OF MAGIC

    Ya know what my most played non mmo game is? Lords of Magic, a fantasy strategy/rts game from the 90s that most definitely didn't get bug fixes until fans did it themselves. (Mantera mod you rock)

    Despite Lords of Magic being a jank, broken game I can always win due to AI not being great...I love it so much.....a remaster would be so nice.
