Another shout to D.A. Lewis, always enjoy his RPG threads. In fact, how about another one over in another forum on this board that only wants to talk about WoW
I guess I can take this opportunity to recognize all of my wargaming buds on this board, such as dbt, Siljanus, Raydude, CSL, and Zekester among the many others. Since I see so many games months or years before they are out, however, I guess I'm more of an influencer than an influencee. In fact, one game I'm playing now is so incredible...oh, wait, that's right, I can't talk about it. The publisher refuses to be responsible for the militia force necessary to protect my house against wave after wave of rabid wargamers should word of it's presence ever leak.
These griping on these forums mostly reinforces my absence of desire for any new games at all, making it easy to stick with my habit of buying only one or two each year.

Damn, I get tired of gripers who gripe about griping.
I succumb to the overal OO forum effect occasionally, but that is more a general effect rather than a few individuals. I really appreciate those who take the time to writeup thoughtful impressions of new stuff, as well as older stuff I may have missed so I can snag a copy for the backlog shelf before it gets too hard to find.
When the sun goes out, we'll have eight minutes to live.

You....damn influencer you! I need to know what game this is! At least point us to a preview link or something!

Wow! I didn't know Duke Nukem Forever was going to be a hex-based wargame! Rock on!
Black lives matter!
Wise words of warning from Smoove B: Oh, how you all laughed when I warned you about the semen. Well, who's laughing now?

Can't say. You might see some previews up by the end of the week, but not from me (I've been hired to write a strategy guide given my expertise on the subject).
Zekester, for steering me to the few little-known titles I wasn't already aware of. I try and keep up on every single game that might interest me in the slightest, but Zeke's knowledge humbled me. And I trust his judgment. He hasn't let me down yet.

Peacedog's at least partially responsible for me picking up quite a few old school Rpgs. (Geneforge, Helherron, etc.)
Geneforge 3 Mac beta just started. I'd pencil in a mid to late summer PC release. Also, you should check out Teudogar and the Alliance with Rome which is quirky but interesting. I haven't registered it, but I think I will when I get the means.
There are approximately seventeen billion jrpg-like games out there if you are into that sort of thing (I'm sure as hell not, but if you like I'll dig up some links I have lying around). I tend to ignore them, but Cry Havoc looks like Final Fantasy Tactics, which is intriguing I think.
I'd love to see both an FFT like game and an Advance Wars like game from a shareware guy on PC.
