Most RPGs cite D&D as inspiration, but few directly adapt its rules. In videogames, D&D’s dice rolls, spell slots, and long rests can feel restrictive. Even Baldur’s Gate III tries to make D&D more userfriendly, while indie RPG Solasta wears the 5e ruleset as a badge of honor, warts and all.

While it may forever lurk in the shadow of Baldur’s Gate III, its crunchy, dice-heavy combat is just what I want in a lean adaptation of the tabletop RPG. Solasta adapts the 5e rules via the Open Gaming License, which doesn’t include the D&D worlds or trademark creatures. We won’t be adventuring along the Sword Coast and battling beholders, but we will be creating a custom party of four heroes using familiar races and classes like fighter, rogue, and cleric.

Special Report- Stacked Deck - Monster Train, a deckbuilding roguelike that firmly entrenched itself as the crown prince to the kingly Slay the Spire back in 2020, was the kind of smash success you might call Champagne Big.

Monster Train, a deckbuilding roguelike that firmly entrenched itself as the crown prince to the kingly Slay the Spire back in 2020, was the kind of smash success you might call Champagne Big. Four years later, its successor Inkbound’s launch from Early Access was looking more like Sandwich Big.I’m not just saying that because of the mountain of lamb and eggplants I ate while meeting with developer Shiny Shoe over lunch, to feel out what the aftermath of releasing a game looks like in 2024. I mean, have I thought about that sandwich every day since? Yes. But also, the indie team talked frankly about the struggle of luring Monster Train’s audience on board for its next game.
