Here are some of my favorite vendors from CRPGs (M&M 6, LoL, and Gothic). I always appreciate a game that makes even seemingly mundane tasks like shopping part of the fun. That could amount to some witty banter with the clerk, fun descriptions of the items, and of course the…

👑 Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos earns its place at #47 in my Top 50 CRPGs of all time! Dungeon crawling, killer art, and Patrick Stewart as King Richard?! Yes, please. Watch the short now: 🔗 youtube.com/shorts/2hmmRRo… #CRPG #RetroGaming #LandsOfLore #MattChat #PatrickStewart…
#47 on Matt Chat's Top 50 CRPGs list is Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos. This spiritual successor to the beloved Eye of the Beholder series was developed by Westwood Studios. Like EoB, LoL is a grid-based, first-person dungeon crawler—but it's not a licensed D&D title.…

#48 on Matt Chat's Top 50 CRPGs list is... Torment: Tides of Numenera. It's the spiritual successor to a game much higher on this list—so what’s it doing way down here? Let’s cover the basics. This isn’t Planescape: Torment 2. It’s not even set in the Planescape campaign…
