"Underrail" is an indie isometric post-apocalyptic RPG that has tons of character build/crafting/inventory options and turn-based combat. It has a an epic story and a very tactical combat. Plays out like a WITPAE campaign, though you only control one character.

I play Farm Simulator 2017. Very relaxing. This morning I fed my cows Total Mixed Ration and harvested a giant field of soybeans.

Eagerly looking forward to FS 2019 in a few months. You can ride a horse in that one, and you have a dog!

You really shouldn't be so unkind as to call them cows! What club did you meet them in? Inquiring minds need to know for their research.

The fan base is avid, but too small to commercially support a re-programming of the game engine. The game engine is already at its limits with all the stuff it has to do. There are also copywrite issues with Gary Grigsby and the companies that built the WITP-AE program. They are not about to let someone use their combat models and database design without major compensation.

Status: offline 		I do believe Gary Grigsby is on record as stating he'll never make a game like WitP ever again and that he was insane to do it. WitE/WitW have more abstraction in certain respects and he is on record also stating that those are more in line with what he'd prefer to make going forward.

No other game has as much strategic, positional and tactical possibilities and so much room to implement new brilliant ideas and plans. ALL WITH JUST ONE CLICK PER TURN!

Specifically for this crowd I would recommend correspondence chess, Games of this kind don't have to end in 12 months. Must sound appealing to the crowd here.

Seriously, I am learning python and give and take 10 years I will be ready to begin working on the menu screen.
