[QUOTE="MuhVerisimilitude, post: 9284511, member: 7042567"] Currently following the Frieren anime adaption and it's very good. Also watching Dungeon Meshi, which is superb (I've read the manga and it's one of the best fantasy comics out there). I think it's interesting to compare the TTRPG influences on Sousou no Frieren and Dungeon Meshi, both TTRPG inspired. Frieren seems to follow a fairly "modern" RPG style. We have an adventure that takes place mostly outside of dungeons, casters who can spam spells pretty much indefinitely. Martial characters have in excellent anime-style maneuvers and mobility ("unrealistic" jumping ability etc). The anime has an amazing atmosphere and soundtrack. Dungeon Meshi is much more oldschool. It focuses exclusively on dungeon crawling. The casters are much more restrictive with using magic, martial characters are more old-school grounded. Someone described it pretty well on twitter (paraphrasing here): It's like a group of veteran players out-arguing the GM that yes this totally insane holy-water strategy will allow them to beat a bunch of ghosts without actually expending any of their holy water (which they just convinced the GM to allow them to make because "herbs" are totally religious in some cultures so adding herbs to water makes the water holy). Ryoko Kui, the artist behind Dungeon Meshi, is also a computer rpg fan. She has made custom portraits for Pillars of Eternity, Baldur's Gate 1, Baldur's Gate 2 and she's drawn Planescape Torment fanart. Anyway both series are great and you shoulld watch them if you like fantasy. [/QUOTE]
