Summary: As we inch ever so closer to triple-digits, we all talk about how playing stats in a game can be difficult. We make some headway, but this is certainly a topic we’ll want to talk about more later. We’re very interested in how you think roleplaying stats should be handled, however! In the three parter, Noah reivews the video game Ni No Kuni, Jeremy reviews the new Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG from Goodman Games, Ethan plugs the KantCon Kickstarter, and Nathan gives us a relaxed rant on the Computer Industry. We wrap up with some Random Encounters! Running time on this episode is 152 minutes. About Ni No Kuni (Level 5) Ni no Kuni (二ノ国?, literally Second Country, also called The Another World) is a role-playing video game, co-developed by Japanese developerLevel-5 and anime company Studio Ghibli, for the Nintendo DS and later PlayStation 3. The Nintendo DS version, titled Ni no Kuni: Shikkoku no Madōshi, was released on December 9, 2010, while the PlayStation 3 version, titled Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, was released in Japan on November 17, 2011, with a Western release on January 22, 2013. The Western PlayStation 3 version is published by Namco Bandai Games and includes both English and Japanese voice tracks. Due to problems in translation of the magic book, there are currently no plans to localize the Nintendo DS version. Despite this, a collector’s edition of the PlayStation 3 version that contains the translated book is scheduled for release alongside the standard edition.
