Update

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

It occurs to me that I haven’t been posting lately, so I guess I’ll go ahead and update you all on some things.
Games I’ve been playing
Sadly, I haven’t really done much board/card/role-playing gaming lately since the big TPK. I did play a game of Three-Dragon Ante with my friend Dean; it was quite good. [...]

Pathfinder RPG

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

So, Paizo Publishing has decided to put out a product that will, I suppose, compete with 4th Edition. In a bold and, I think, savvy move, they have released an alpha version of The Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, so that people can read it, play it, and provide them with feedback that they will use [...]

Zelda as it should be

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

When I first got my DS, my introductory game was The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. It was fantastic, in every sense of the word; one of the best games I’ve ever played. Hungry for more Zelda goodness, but knowing that that was the only title for the DS, I purchased The Legend [...]

Crysis: A Narrative

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

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 [...]

Review: HeroCard Nightmare

Monday, November 5th, 2007

For those who have been reading this blog with any regularity, it should be no secret that I’m a fan of the HeroCard series of games that TableStar Games publishes. I enjoy the basic card battle system mechanics, and I’ve liked each of the five HeroCard games that have come out so far. [...]

Post-Apocalyptic Horror and Undersea Dread

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

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 [...]

HeroCard Orc Wars: Addendum

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

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 [...]

Update

Thursday, July 12th, 2007

It’s been a little while since my last post. I’d like to blame it on our impending move and, in truth, that might have something to do with my motivation issues, but truthfully I think that lack of stuff to post is the prime culprit. Things have been a little slow, gaming wise. [...]

Review: HeroCard Orc Wars, Part 1

Sunday, July 1st, 2007

HeroCard Orc Wars is the latest in TableStar Games’ flagship series, and it’s a good one. The game is a departure from other HeroCard games in a number of different ways, though some of them are not in the scope of this initial review. I should note before I begin that currently [...]

Read Review: Star Wars Roleplaying Game Saga Edition

Thursday, June 21st, 2007

Star Wars Roleplaying Game Saga Edition has gotten me more excited than many other RPG products that have come out in the past, and that excitement reached a fever pitch while I was reading it. For those who don’t want to read this whole review, let it be known: this review is primarily positive. [...]
