let's play

More than twenty years after its original release, Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri continues to capture imaginations far and wide. In light of all the present quarantines leaving people stuck at home, I thought it might be nice to run a play-by-email multiplayer game with other members of the SV...

The year is 1444 and Europe emerges from a century of shattered states, harrowing plague, countless civil wars, revolts, a Church still reeling from its shattering in the Western Schism and a Holy Roman Empire still weakened by the interregnum that hurt its once-great unity. In the Middle East...

Hello there, Teen Spirit here. Those of you who know me on SB probably know I have a fairly long running LP thread focused on Hearts of Iron 4 mods. And I thought hey why not bring it here?Get some fresh eyes and fresh perspectives on this. In particular I wanted to cover something that...

Greetings! I've been playing Dwarf Fortress off and on for a few years now, I am by no means an expert at the game. In fact, I'm rather terrible! But that is half the !!FUN!! What is Dwarf Fortress you may ask? Well, its a very deep simulation game that is incredibly light on the graphics. It is...

Hello guys and gals, time for yet another attempt at a Let's Play series from yours truly. This time, with it being the month of all things spooky, I decided to go to one of the few games that I ever found legitimately scary, Project Zero! Or Fatal Frame, if you're in the US.

"During the tyranny, he will also come to you. He may not look like the savior. He may look like the enemy. And you will not know whom to trust, when he asks you those four crucial words: 'Uh....how's it going?'" - Excerpt from The Tale of Twinsun from the Diaries of Zoë "Ce n'est pas...

Does anyone remember command and conquer? Not the vs debate stomps or the Mobile rip-offs I mean the actual games, Westwood Studios was once the arch rival of blizzard in the real-time strategy genre and CnC was its flagship franchise, a true lord of the games industry, unfortunately westwood...

You've seen people play XCOM 2012. You've seen people play XCOM 2. You seen people play the original X-COM. Now get ready for... X-COM: Apocalypse is a strange beast, even by the standards of pre-2000 strategy games. According to Julian Gollop, the director, just about everything that...

Hi everyone and welcome to this LP of Oxygen Not Included (or ONI), a colony builder game where you control a hapless group of clones who have found themselves trapped inside an asteroid for mysterious reasons, with almost no food, air, water, or any of the other necessities of survival, really...

Well then, there was one last nation I had to cover before I moved fully to RtW2. There's not much to say, this was one of the Custom Nations I enjoyed playing with the most. It was also one of those playthroughs that I always wanted to do, and had the idea of following something more...

Hello Folks! I've been reading some Dwarf Fortress succession games recently, and these sorts of colony management games seem to lend themselves quite well to Succession games. I'm sure most people have at least heard of Rimworld and I thought it would be quite fun to start up a game on...

The year is 1444. Fredrich III Von Hapsburg, Archduke of Austria and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, has become the first of his royal line to become my vessel. My will is his command. And my will is simple; I want to unite the Holy Roman Empire. Why? Because I've never done it before and...

The first Mass Effect was a game I feel in love with almost immediately, despite its rather clunky gameplay. A science fiction/space opera RPG with a focus on exploring the galaxy scratched an itch that very few games could scratch, and while the general consensus appears to be that the second...

The United Nations of Sol Humanity has been spent thousands of years fighting itself, through the rise and fall of countless empires, across the spread of various religions, crusades, and revolutions, from the ashes of two world wars, and up to the brink of nuclear annihilation. Yet, the...

Welcome to Haganenoshiro, The Castles of Steel. With Rule the Waves 2 coming out tomorrow in three weeks, I've decided to try something monumentally stupid but hopefully entertaining: A politics RP meets a game LP. You will be playing members of the Japanese political establishment, voting on...

I'm in a Baldur's Gate mood. There might be someone who doesn't know what Baldur's Gate is. In short, is a well known Dungeons & Dragons PC game from 1998. In it, you play as the adopted son/daughter of the mage Gorion, living in a little reclusive monastery and library called Candlekeep. You've...

Very recently I've decided to start running an Unknown Armies campaign and I had the idea to create some write-ups for you all. At the very least I expect it will help me put my thoughts in order, and on the off chance you all enjoy flounder around in blind panic for my first proper campaign, so...

The adventure began on December 21, 1998. Developed by Bioware and Black Isle Studios, and published by Interplay Entertainment, Baldur’s Gate is one of the most important games in its genre. To this day, many roleplaying games owe at least a couple of things to this gem. This is especially true...

Hello and welcome to Pokemon Insurgence. Some may know me from my Let’s Play of Pokemon Zeta, which has been stuck in limbo for a long time. Since I have been feeling like doing something Pokemon related for a long time, I finally decided to give it another shot with a Let’s Play, this time with...

Hello and welcome to my latest Let's Play, where we'll be looking at one of my favourite RPGs of all time - Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines. Released in 2004, it was the last game developed by Troika Games before they closed in 2005. "Troika" means "trio" in Russian, because the company was...

Welcome, one and all, to Equestria at War! First off, my thanks to @geckonator9 and @Teen Spirit for starting this bandwagon and inspiring my attempt. They've both been running HoI4 LP threads on SB, and I figured I'd throw my hat into the ring here. In case you haven't guessed, Equestria at...

Hello to the people who are reading this (I don’t know why you would, there’s probably better things you could do with your lives). This will be a Let’s Play of Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty. Before we dig in, a few setup-related things: 1. This is not a blind let’s play. I’ve played Starcraft...

Pokemon Rejuvenation is a fangame of a fangame, specifically the Pokemon Fangame Pokemon Reborn, with which it shares a lot of mechanics. The player takes the role of a trainer intent on working their way through the local Pokemon League while opposing the nefarious villain Team. A typical...

Come one come all, as I play a game based on my favourite anime of 2017! Yeah, this isn't the best videogame adaptation of a property from a different media, but it's better than most ... which is damning it with faint praise. Still, I had fun with it, and am here to share that enjoyment with...

The personal log of Aldmeri Jen, Combat Archaelologist # 18th day of Second Seed, 4th Era, year 201 I arrived in Solitude this afternoon, after a pleasant and uneventful voyage. As expected, I received a message by courier from my old colleague shortly after disembarking, along with some...
