Week 6: Mod Showcase
Darkest Dungeon® - RedHookNatisha
”As the light gains purchase, spirits are lifted and purpose is made clear."
Here are this weeks mods:
Joke Trinkets by Pseudonomenclature

The Jester is still pretty ticked off about being nerfed time and time again throughout the game's development, and has taken it to be some kind of cruel ironic joke. Well, now they have countered with a few Jests of their own, this time at the expense of that all-too-dreaded game balance! This is all incredibly stupid.

This mod adds 11 new very silly and dubiously balanced trinkets to the game! They can be obtained with a 10% chance as loot from CURIOS (if interacted with by a Jester) or from DEFEATING ENEMIES (if you have a Jester in your party).

Anti’s Skin Collection by Anti’

A collection of every skin Anti has made, all put into a single mod! This features many different skins for every single vanilla hero, some putting very different takes or ideas on the base heroes!

Week 5: Mod Showcase
Darkest Dungeon® - RedHookNatisha
”A time to perform beyond one's limits!"

Here are this weeks mods:

The Apostate by TheHolyChicken, Anti', and anonymous_koala

"The narrow-minded fools refuse to accept that the Flame is but half the story..."

Denounced by the Church for "straying from the Light", these former Vestals now seek out those texts declared forbidden and apocryphal in their search for the Truth. Many question their morality, but none doubt their tenacity…

The Apostate acts as a formidable group leader who empowers allies as their wounds mount. Despite renouncing the healing practices of the Vestal, she still has the uncanny ability to keep others from succumbing to death, albeit through very different techniques. When provoked, she is capable of unleashing power that devastates any who stand in her way.

After 2 years of development, Koala's Creature Collection is finally out!

Adding 17 new monsters with custom art ,animations and sounds (among them a challenging new miniboss!) that roam the 4 base dungeons, the Pelagic Plague - A disease much like the Crimson Curse except instead of killing your heroes, it transforms them into the Cove's fishpeople, with act-outs varying for each infected character!

Week 4: Mod Showcase
Darkest Dungeon® - RedHookNatisha
”A moment of clarity in the eye of the storm..."

Here are this weeks mods:

The Windcaller by Power

The Windcaller is a Buff/Debuff focused Support Hero, built around Pushing and Pulling both friend and foe alike. With strong gusts of wind she can disrupt enemy positioning, weakening them in the process and leaving them vulnerable. Should your opponents do the same, she can simply Slingshot your heroes to the frontline, or Whisk them away To Safety in the backline. If your team can handle it, she can also grant a huge buff to Dodge, Speed, and Crit chance, at the cost of Shuffling your entire party in a Wild Whirlwind.

She works well in stationary teams with fixed positioning, able to easily reposition heroes back in their proper locations should they be shuffled or moved. But she also works wonders in teams built around dancing and moving around, taking advantage of strong buffs and offering a unique party-wide shuffle to buff up your heroes. Whether it's keeping a Leper firmly planted in the frontline with Storming Slingshot, or shuffling your Grave Robber around to spam Lunge, she's got plenty to offer to any team while avoiding overstepping onto the roles of vanilla characters.

The Alchemist by Shay , Alexrkseth, Kenthril, Loki Laufey, and Rothag

The Alchemist is a group project mod that adds a brand new hero to Darkest Dungeon. This hero is completely custom, with all new sprites, skills, sounds, and animations, as well as a complete set of unique trinkets and color palettes.

The Alchemist specializes in draining the life from her opponents to channel into her allies, equally capable of healing or inflicting damage and debuffs. As she deals damage, so does her healing output grow stronger, making her a flexible combatant. Her unique summon abilities, the Homunculus and the Lab Rat, are capable of providing additional support via either guarding her allies or ravaging her enemies.

"The Alchemist, despite her unsettling nature and abominable appendage, finds herself often saving the lives of her comrades. Her research and many experiments have rewarded her with great restorative abilities that can be further empowered through offensive action. In addition, she is accompanied by her lab-grown assistants that fiercely protect her, and whoever she calls an ally."

Week 3: Mod Showcase
Darkest Dungeon® - RedHookNatisha
"A moment of valor shines brightest against a backdrop of despair."
We hope you all can remain Stalwart and Vigorous during this time and can find some solace through these mods!

Here are this weeks mods:

The Rightful Heiress by kaxen

Disgusted by the line of suitors claiming to be an improvement to her station in life, the Heiress returned to the cursed family estate with a fire for battle despite her own inexperience. Fortified by wine, she seeks to wade into the nightmare despite the hopelessness of the undertaking.

Heiress is a more offensive version of The Rightful Heir, boasting decent damage and mark proficiency, with few support abilities, while still having a signature ability of heir to collect and store more heirlooms while in a dungeon. Heirloom bonuses increase with the amount of heiresses in the party, and does not conflict with heir's ability, if you run both of them in same party.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2021307368






The Clobber by anonymous_koala and Sasiji

Clobber is the Weald's guardian, who after years of watching his home be corrupted by the Hag's fungus, brigands, bloodsuckers and pretty much every enemy faction in the game at this point, decided he had enough and is ready to CRUSH the evildoers. Other things included in this mod are 12 new trinkets, a new district, a custom town event, and a new mechanic: chaining together rapid punches until Clobber is exhausted, through his "Punchout" skill!

Week 2: Mod Showcase
Darkest Dungeon® - RedHookNatisha
"The abyss returns even the boldest gaze."

Here are this weeks mods:


Bits and Pieces; A Monster Trinket Mod by Power

This is a trinket mod called Bits & Pieces, which adds in a whole bunch of rare unique trinkets to a bunch of different enemies, with the trinkets they drop mimicking the stats/abilities/flavor of whatever enemy dropped them. Adds in 28 trinkets so far to 25 enemies, and I'm still planning on adding more trinkets to it, along with doing trinkets for DLC enemies as well later on.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1952138339




Abyssal Horror Miniboss by Slightly_Seal and Dismas

The Abyssal Horror Miniboss mod is a roaming miniboss that can appear in champion(lv. 5) Cove quests.

There's a town event that occurs once the player has 4 lv 5 heroes and is past week 12. This town event triggers a medium length plot quest in the cove that has a guaranteed encounter with the Abyssal Horror. After completing this quest, the Abyssal Horror has an 8% chance to appear at any champion Cove quest.

"Fan the flames! Mold the metal! We are raising an army!"

A mod army that is!

One of our Discord server moderators presented to us a fun idea to showcase some mods each week on our server. We agreed and decided to take it one step further and share them here as well. The main purpose is to put (usually) lesser known or new mods of all and every kind up on showcase for people to see.

The 12 most extravagant lines of dialogue in games
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Brendan Caldwell)

The greasy realm of the videogame is not always the best place to look for good writing. For every Disco Elysium there are roughly 800 Detroit: Beyond Humans. But it is a good place to look for wondrous, over-the-top nonsense. I m talking about character dialogue so flamboyant and exaggerated, you could insert some line breaks and it would instantly become a verse in a glam rock anthem. Here are the 12 most extravagant, exuberant, and intense lines of dialogue. In games, subtext is just whatever s written on the side of the nuclear submarine.
