I’ve been on the fence about Crysis for a while. Actually, that’s not entirely accurate. I knew there was a fence, I was aware of it. I knew that you could, theoretically, be on it. But I didn’t pay much attention to it. I just assumed that it wouldn’t run [...]

I just found Triond, and thought it might be a good way to get Saga distributed. After signing up and submitting Saga, however (in .doc format, because they, for some reason, do not accept .pdf files), I was notified about twenty minutes later that my request to publish it was declined, as it was [...]

Recently I purchased Puerto Rico: The PC Game, and I haven’t been able to stop playing since. I’ve only played the physical game a couple of times, mainly because I don’t own it (my friend Chris does), and it’s difficult to get everyone to agree on the game sometimes. The PC game isn’t [...]

My buddy Dean just posted this really interesting explanation of how Viking culture can be applied to the ‘points of light’ model that I discussed earlier. Some of this I’m not sure I can reconcile with what I have in place right now (such as it is), but other things intrigue me.
The idea of [...]

Some interesting information has been posted about wizards in 4th Edition. This article makes me think a little bit of the magister and mage blade classes from Monte Cook’s Arcana Unearthed, a game that I liked a lot, and I like this direction. A wizard’s spellbook always seemed like so much wasted potential. [...]

Ok, two things have been dominating my geek radar currently. Really, three things if you count 4th Edition, but the initial excitement has passed and my geek-out-itude about 4E has subsided into a general ambient hum of anticipation.
Monte Cook’s World of Darkness: I’m currently about halfway through this book, and I have mixed feelings [...]

I’ve been ravenously devouring every scrap of information I can get my hands on regarding 4th Edition. Wizards’ official site updates three times a week, which hardly seems like often enough. I have, however, managed to catch hold of some inspiring scraps, and I have some suppositions based on others. In no [...]

For those who have not already, go and look at this.
Back, are you? I believe that the popular theory is that this is a countdown clock to the announcement of Fourth Edition D&D, and that’s certainly what it looks like to me. Many people would add a lot of doom and [...]

Not strictly game related, but my wife and I just got done moving to a new house. Now, I say “done” in the loosest of terms, and it should be taken to mean, “technically we live here, but we’re still pretty much living out of boxes”. It’s been an interesting experience, this being [...]

Yesterday, I played a three-player game of HeroCard Orc Wars. If you’ve read my review, you’ll note that I assess it strictly as a two-player game; this is because I didn’t own the expansion packs at the time of the review, and I still don’t. When I played with my friends Tad and [...]
