Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tale just launched seemingly out of nowhere on iOS today. I dint know much about it but is seems as though it is an RPG campaign using the Gwent cardplay for combat? I do know that it is by a quality developer, was originally a PC game, and costs $9.99 on iOS. That’s a little too steep for an impulse buy for me, but this goes on my wish list for sure. Does anyone have any experience with the game?

Many Gwent players race about it. But I don’t know how much of that is from already liking the setting and/or already being good at Gwent.
Color me a bit surprised. I just assumed that one would stay PC-only.
They also “rave” about it, I’m told …

Gwent raves are totally off the hook. Glow-stick swords and tabs on little cards, it’s wild.

I am actually leaning more and more towards buying it. I like the idea of self-contained CCGs where I don’t need to feel the pressure to play constantly just to earn in-game currency just to be competitive (or, conversely, pay real money). I appreciate games like Card City Nights, Lost Portal, etc. for this reason. I don’t play Gwent because I play Legends of Runeterra. Thronebreaker may give me a reason to play Gwent.
Humble Bundle has an awesome Warhammer 40k Bundle…well awesome for anyone who hasn’t purchased most of them already cough
The digital version of Gloom is available on iOS. I don’t even know if it is a new release or not and I’m not really all that interested, but it is a tabletop game so there may be interest here.
Preorders are live for the mobile version of Meteorfall: Krumit’s Tale, the followup to Meteorfall: Journeys:
Krumit’s Tale has been available on Steam for a while, moving out of Early Access last week, while the mobile beta started a couple of weeks ago. Love the game and it’s great on mobile, so I’ll gladly pay for it as soon as it’s officially out in a few weeks.

Does anyone know anything about the board game Street Masters? There appears to be an iOS version of it.
Never heard of it, but the screenshots looks nifty
Yeah, and some comments on the BGG boards sound promising. I’ll have to watch a review of the game or something because I’m certainly intrigued, but $9.99 is a big ask for something I know nothing about.
Never heard of it but it does sound interesting. One review here:
I’m sure there’s other reviews about as well. I’m very tempted based on what I’m seeing/reading.
Anyone have a go at this one yet? I am going to grab an iTunes card tonight I think
The latest Roll For The Galaxy did a big reset for me … I seemed to have no games or friends (ah). I went to Online Account and entered my email as registered with Temple Gates, entered the Verification Code, left the app. On return my friends and games were back.
If you have been cast adrift by the update then try that …

Alrighty, I grabbed it after reading it was similar in vibe to Sentinels of the Muktiverse.
Three missions in, and I like it. Smooth, but complex. I don’t think I understand everything or realise the mastery component, but it’s fun!
Good to hear. Starting to twist my arm a bit.
And a nice little 5 star review you dropped 
Oh, no, the comparison to Sentinels dampens my expectations a bit. I never enjoy sentinels because 1) there are just too many modifiers and 2) the game beats you down early, as in before you even get to take a turn; there I no difficulty progression. Does Street Masters avoid these issues!
Neverwinter Nights just launched on iOS.

I used to play a ton of neverwinter nights back in the day. It had player created mmo worlds which were simultaneously janky and brilliant in the way only player generated content can be. I’m seriously tempted because the App Store says this has got multiplayer.
I remember one server I used to farm some giant mushroom boss thing because he had some good potions. Once the DM jumped into the boss, controlling it and drinking all the potions! Now I was fighting a buffed mushroom boss who had just consumed all the loot! Good times.
I believe multiplayer is cross-platform, too, so - and this is just me guessing - that should mean we can join PC servers.
I remember playing one back in the day that was dedicated to role playing The Wheel of Time.
