When everything in the physical world is getting uploaded onto some great supercomputer in space, you will find me hiding somewhere dark, clinging to my Dungeons & Dragons character sheets. Yes, that’s how much I love playing D& D the traditional way: real dice, real paper and real damn pencils. But Dungeons & Dragons’ new companion app, D& D Beyond, is poised to drag me out of the Luddite cave where I worship graphite and tree pulp (and lose players’ character sheets). Out August 1. 5th, D& D Beyond is a web app that lets players create and store characters, peruse items and monsters and consult digital D& D tomes (on sale for $2. It’s a “digital toolset” for the game. Fans who want more character storage or to share their purchased content with friends can subscribe to the Master or Hero Tiers. And after spending a few hours with its beta, I’m convinced now that D& D can be done well digitally. Dungeons & Dragons’ transition to the digital world has had its ups and downs. In college, I stumbled upon a third- party website that hosted interactive character sheets. Automatically, it adjusted stats by adding modifiers and the like.
It was an easy, quick and seductive way for me to help new players build characters, but the sacrifices were manifest: Without learning how to make characters entirely on their own—the gritty way—these players missed out on some crucial learning opportunities. They were stunted. D& D Beyond stands for “beyond pen and paper.” If you’re ever filled out a take- out order sheet for a bougie salad, you can make a character on D& D Beyond. A series of easy- to- navigate steps broken up by lengthy explanations guides you through the process. Say you’re interested in Hill Dwarves. You’re told about the race’s ability score increase, age and alignment, as well as your “Dwarven combat training” and tool proficiency skills to help you decide whether to be a Hill Dwarf. Then, after you choose that option, you’re given the option of choosing what tool you’re proficient in. Luke Plunkett is a Contributing Editor based in Canberra, Australia. He has written a book on cosplay, designed a game about airplanes, and also runs cosplay.kotaku.com. And before moving on to class selection, D& D Beyond offers a few paragraphs about what a class is and how to best choose one. There’s no risk of not knowing what you’re doing. In a way, it forces you to read more information than you might have if you were just designing a character with the physical Player’s Handbook, since that information is your vehicle to the next design step. That’s a good thing. It means you’re learning how to play. D& D Beyond gives equal weight to a character’s combat statistics and role- playing background, too. While a lot of digital character sheets focus functionality on doing math, this one’s striving to make you think about who your character is. Players’ backgrounds, flaws, ideals and bonds are all laid out in the interface. And thankfully, there’s room for players’ overwrought descriptions of their hair and stature as well. All of this gets organized into sleek character sheets (with compact pull- down menus) where you can grab items from the site’s vast database and link them to into your sheet. For example, you can search for a short sword, add it to your sheet, where its stats will show up immediately. The same goes for homebrew items like the “acid flower” or “Wyrmslayer.”One downside: Last year, the official Dungeon Master’s Guild launched, allowing players to publish (and sell) homebrew adventures, rules, character options and booklets of items. A Wizards of the Coast representative confirmed that, eventually, players may be able to easily integrate homebrew content from D& D Beyond onto their DM’s Guild content—but this seems like the type of functionality that should already be there. In an interview with Io. Adam Bradford explained that his team’s goal was “to use technology to supplement and enhance the D& D experience—not to turn that experience into a videogame.” He added, “We want to minimize the negative impact of rules at the table, such as taking a long time thumbing through books to find an obscure rule or not remembering all your character’s options. If all you want to do is automate character creation and progression and print your character sheet for a session, you can do that. If you want to continue to use physical books at the table but want something to help you prep adventures between sessions, we’re still providing value for you.”When viewed as a toolset and not a replacement for D& D’s traditions, D& D Beyond is exactly the sort of digital facelift the game needs to stay accessible, streamlined and relevant. Personally, I will use D& D Beyond to store and adjust characters I continue to roll up with my Luddite equipment. I will use it to randomize non- player character stats. And I will use it to check out cool homebrew add- ons. My strong preference is still to play D& D face- to- face, without a screen mediating my interactions with players. That’s why it’s not a video game. Thankfully, though, D& D Beyond isn’t asking me to make a choice.

The You. Tuber Trying To Introduce Hearthstone Players To Poetry. For some, the soothing dulcet tones of Bob Ross is a great way to unwind after a bad dose of Hearthstone RNG. For others, a stiff drink. But one You. Tuber has another idea: poetry. The project, called “Life on Hearthstone”, started out year ago. It starts out as a vignette about playing Hearthstone: picking a deck you just created, enjoying a drink while you wait for a match, sitting on top of the skill curve, being perfectly average, overthinking decisions. James Ward, who animated and narrated the video, based it off his own experiences. But underneath the soft, almost hushed tones of Ward’s voice, is a deeper meaning. It’s not actually about Hearthstone, at least not if you listen closely.“It’s like Mel Blanc dodging studio censors,” Ward explains, saying that the key is to be relatable as possible. By outlining experiences and tales that everyone has had while playing Hearthstone at some stage, viewers have something to connect to - which opens the door for connecting them to deeper issues, like anger, depression, and misery. So like, I’ve gotta hide the arty shit, like hiding dirty jokes, get the audience comfortable first.”“It’s a literary device .. And that’s when you sneak in the little tidbits of like, this is sad behaviour, this is fucked, why are we behaving like this, we’re medicating ourselves with screens and video games and inane, repetitive media, what’s going on here. Do you want to buy something you could never afford? Do you want to get those expansion packs that you cant buy?!?! Well check out this Microsoft Points Generator. The Locust (grasshopper) Plague of 1875 in Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa, and Minnesota. The Year of The Locust. Cracked Hearthstone TopA toy box collection item. It is crafted. In the Other Items category. Added in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. Always up to date with the latest patch. For some, the soothing dulcet tones of Bob Ross is a great way to unwind after a bad dose of Hearthstone RNG. For others, a stiff drink. But one YouTuber has another. But without picking out the little shit that makes people go, . Not savvy enough, however, to realise that they’re being introduced to one of the oldest forms of literature. That’s the plan, anyway. But why go to all the trouble in the first place? According to the 2. Melbournian, his love for poetry wasn’t an overt pleasure. It came from a much more common connection: music.“I’ve always written little poems and tidbits since I was a kid - as I’ve gotten older they’ve gotten sillier,” Ward told me over Discord. I grew up listening to the Beastie Boys and like, Rage Against the Machine and Green Day and stuff- and being the kid I was if I I’d known that MCA, Zach De La Rocha and Billy Joe Armstrong were thoughtful lyricists and aspiring poets in their own way I would’ve chucked all my tapes out.”It’s a bit cliche. Like many kids, Ward was attracted to the music of rebellion. But it wasn’t until later in life, when circumstances took a turn and Ward ended up homeless, moving from place to place. Life was unstable and as many do in similar circumstances, he returned to the music he grew up with.“I think that’s when the heart of all the music I was listening to as a kid really started to matter,” he explained, “because I really needed something solid to grab onto or make where my life was something fun and exciting rather than just like, scary and uncertain. And yeah, fortunately when shit really hits the fan, silly videos are a great cure for the blues.”Some of the silly videos that ended up being the strongest inspirations were from Brad Neely, an American artist and producer. Neely worked on the 1. South Park as a consultant and, a couple of years later he created the webseries I Am Baby Cakes. Inspired by the blend of comedy, simplistic graphics and darker themes from videos like Neely’s, Ward gained the confidence to create something of his own. He made a pilot for a show called This Week in Hearthstone, which was picked up by the US esports organisation Tempo Storm. One thing lead to another, and after a few episodes he ended up creating a script for a parody of a show Tempo Storm was creating called The Inn Crowd. His script was well received, and he ended up producing a script and recording the voiceovers for what would be The Inn Crowd’s final episode. But the end product, which Ward says he wasn’t allowed to edit, completely bombed. It was an empty process, he explained, and without the creative control over the end product or brand, it wasn’t worth the trouble. So Ward released the Life in Hearthstone pilot and spent the next year focusing on a music band and improv. But what happens if nobody gets it? Life on Hearthstone is a five part series, and the reception to the first few episodes has been warm. That’s encouraging given how dark the videos can get. The first episode draws a metaphor from the widgets on the Hearthstone board, equating them to objects placed in a bottle designed to keep an insect from being bored, from trying to escape. One comic device used is a construction worker, who suffers from vertigo and has no hands. Ward doesn’t use the worker purely as a visual gag - although given the simplicity of the animation and drawings, having a character fall down is one of the most effective devices - but more as a blunt tool for highlighting the futility of chasing virtual rewards, of things people complain about but never do, of life. Another episode quips that video games have eroded people’s attention spans so far that people can’t even get upset or depressed by their own thoughts, because messaging apps fill the void of loneliness before the thought is even completed. Not all of it comes off, and Ward explains that the script has to walk a fine line. I asked if in- jokes and Hearthstone references were almost like a currency with his audience, tools used to buy the attention of viewers so they would be more receptive to other themes, and Ward agreed. For a content creator, there’s more leniency in parodying and referencing material viewers already know and understand. It works, but there’s also a limit to how far you can take that shtick. And because of that careful balancing act, the weirdness works. The responses to some of Ward’s videos are telling. People talking about their own depression, emptiness in their lives. It’s far from happy. But Hearthstone fans love it. Ward has been talking for several hours. He’s talked about how his videos wouldn’t work if it wasn’t for the music in the background. He’s chatted about games being a gateway to something deeper. He’s talked about his inner demons (and I talked about mine). I asked why his videos have an ASMR- esque quality. It’s forced, he said, as the only way to get clean audio was by turning his pre- amp down and getting close to the microphone. So the question had to be asked: what if people don’t get it? What if the only response is “this is great content”, and the deeper message never sinks in? But that’s still something; my friends will know I tried.”But if not opening up to poetry, one consolation is that it’s encouraged a conversation about depression. It’s hard to go past the email that inspired the series, a viewer who uninstalled Hearthstone and thanked Ward for it. Responses like those are rare, Ward says, and he reads every comment he can. And that’s a toxic loop: you might see thousands of shares, enormous amounts of views, but none of it sticks in the mind like a negative comment. Ward isn’t thinking about that too much, though. The last episode in the series isn’t out until next week, and a week is a long time on the internet. But he’s hopeful that the goodwill continues. The internet has plenty of introspective comics, and we’re not far removed from the successful Kickstarter campaign for Check. Point. It’s late, almost midnight, and I have to be awake in six hours. But it’s OK, and I’m going to bed happy. Happy because through it all, I’m convinced Ward will be fine - and the Hearthstone community will be the better for it.

And sometimes it’s straight- up unexplainable. If you've discovered a. Edited Title: Retitled to Canis Canem Edit in the United Kingdom. Bully, a game about high school life that was presumed prior to release to be all about. Bully - Scholarship Edition. Cheatbook is the resource for the latest Cheats, tips, cheat codes, unlockables, hints and secrets to get the edge to win. The best place to get cheats, codes, cheat codes, walkthrough, guide, FAQ, unlockables, tricks, and secrets for Bully for PlayStation 2 (PS2). But whatever the justification may be, games get renamed all the time when they’re released across different regions. This piece originally appeared 4/6/1. Let’s look at ten particular cases of video game name changes: Bully. Edited Title: Retitled to Canis Canem Editin the United Kingdom. The Reason? Bully, a game about high school life that was presumed prior to release to be all about, well, bullying, attracted a lot of controversy in both the U. S. In the U. K., specifically, where Rockstar changed Bully’s title to Canis Canem Edit, anti- bullying organizations campaigned against the game’s release, and even the country’s rating board came under fire for giving it a 1. Strangely, the game’s updated version for the 3. Wii, Bully: Scholarship Edition, was allowed to keep the “Bully” title when it came out two years later. It still caused controversy though. The Reason? Contra—specifically, the first arcade game—came to PAL regions as Gryzor, and nobody knows the exact reason why. One theory posits that it was to avoid referencing the Iran- Contra affair, a political scandal from the late eighties. The new title “Probotector,” meaning “Robot Protector,” reflected that. The first uncensored PAL Contra game to come out was Legacy of War in 1. Contra” title intact. Elebits. Edited Title: Known as Eledees in Europe and Oceania. Elebits was a series of games from Konami that featured the titular, electricity- based creatures. The publisher never gave an official reason for the rename, but some speculated it was for a pun (LEDs, Eledees, geddit?), while others thought it was to avoid lewd jokes about bits. Metal Gear: Ghost Babel . However, it ended up a completely different game—a non- canon followup to Kojima’s first Metal Gear on the MSX2, its story taking place seven years after that game’s events—but the Metal Gear Solid name was kept anyway, for, according to Metal Gear fan site Snake Soup, “marketing purposes.” Mortal Kombat: Deception. Edited Title: Known as Mortal Kombat: Mystification in France. The Reason? In Summer 2. Mortal Kombat game, subtitled Deception, would get a name change in France. Initially, then- publisher Midway Games denied these rumors, but they eventually confirmed that the game would be renamed to Mortal Kombat: Mystification. Midway cited “translation issues,” and Google Translate reveals that in French, “d. Toru Iwatani, the developer of Pac- Man, originally named his game Pakkuman (. This was romanized to Puck Man, a name which did end up on the very first arcade machines, including the ones used at the game’s first location test in May 1. Namco decided to change the name to Pac- Man—which is still a correct romanization of Pakkuman—putting that on later machines. Ratchet & Clank. Edited Title: Nearly every Ratchet & Clank sequel got a different name in Europe and Oceania. The Reason? In some cases, it’s clear—Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal got renamed to Ratchet & Clank 2: Locked and Loaded and Ratchet & Clank 3, respectively, to get rid of the innuendo in the names. But at the same time, Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters, arguably the most innuendo- y of the bunch, did not get a different name in Europe, while Full Frontal Assault did: Ratchet & Clank: QForce. And then there are the seemingly totally random changes: Ratchet: Deadlocked got changed to Ratchet: Gladiator, and the Ratchet & Clank Future series had the “Future” subtitle removed from all three games in PAL regions.. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles . In some parts of Europe, ninja were considered a taboo subject, and so in a couple places, the TMNT franchise was renamed to Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles.
