[Hide] (118.5KB, 854x480) It looks like no one is happy with how OP has handled this month so I'm doing a new poll; 3 games are already on the poll, feel free add your own of course.

Multiple Votes are enabled, pick all the games you'd be okay with playing
I am entrusting you with the maturity to not abuse this which I am aware is a mistake, but let's try it anyways.
Starting Games
Might and Magic VI: The Mandate of Heaven (1998)
Orcs & Elves (2007)
Wizardry VI: Bane of the Cosmic Forge (1990)
Adding New Games
If you're going to add a new game to the poal please do, make a post in the thread with it's cover art, a pitch for why others should pick it and a DDL link or torrent hash. If you're going with a torrent, make sure it's active and seed it. Include the manual in either the post or with the installer.
I'm not going to be precious about what qualifies as RPG enough for this, be sensible. Though if you want to pitch F.E.A.R. or whatever and that wins the voat, then this might be more of a Game of the Month club.
Not pitching those first 2 games because they're lifted from the first 2 posts of the thread. I'd ask those anons to pitch them instead. That said
Wizardry VI: Bane of the Cosmic Forge
Blobber, very focused on dungeon crawling. From reviews I've read looks to be hardcore in that regard. The goal of the game is wander around the castle you've been trapped in defeating monster and investigating the ruins to find what the dead King and his Sorcerer where investigating when they perished 100 years ago. Class and Race combinations allow depth in character creation, skills increase both through points on level up and through use. Some skill checks require minigames, like a QTE for lock picking and what looks like Jeopardy for disarming trapped chest. The Strength check may be tied to frame rate and not work if the frames aren't limited. Options for recovery of health and spells are limited, and may require save scumming to get through especially for beginner blobbers. If you can read moonrunes, the Saturn version was JAP only but looks much nicer. No other version differences I am aware of.
