Not as addicting as "Do You Wanna Date My Avatar?", but may be funnier for those who've ever sat at an Indian restraunt and watched the music videos they're spoofing here. Great stuff!
I just talked with Noble Fist and they are excited to run the Shroud with us--tonight! They are expecting us at 9 and are east coasters, so--assuming everybody is happy with this and will be here tonight--it would be good if we get started as close to on-time as we can. If you know you can't make it, will be late, or don't wish to do this, please post as soon as you can.
Level 7 D&D Campaign, H1-H3 modules (now between H2 and H3.)
40th session. You stand at one end of a vast ancient battlefield. The scene of past carnage ends at the gates of a forboding subterranean keep. From it's broken gates pours forth invisible, but quite tangible divine rage and agony. What lies at the root of it is most powerful, most holy, and it's anger pervades everything before you.
In general, we'll just cancel if more than 3 can't make it. I'm occasionally open to moving the game back or forward a Saturday, to Friday evening, or to Sunday if there's no conflict with my or Bear's Pathfinder games. If someone would like to propose a move, please Comment here.
Mel and Stephanie have recently brought to my attention an author I knew nothing about a year ago, but who I currently hold a couple steps lower than Butcher on my list of active authors. From me, that's high praise. The first books I read were three of the Tales of the Nightside, which are novellas reminiscent of Harry Dresden as written by Clive Barker and/or Neil Gaiman. Very entertaining.
What's really caught my imagination though are the Tales of Hawk and Fisher. The books are collections of short stories which are reminiscent in all ways of Fritz Leiber's excellent Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser. I loved those books, and I like these no less. The main characters are a husband and wife team who represent the only two honest city guard captains in a thoroughly corrupt and filthy city. Most of the stories are mysteries, which are fun but nothing special, in and of themselves. The excellent characters and lurid imagery of the city of Haven are what make these books and I'm absolutely loving them.
I'm looking forward to seeing this game in November (or a bit later.) I loved CoH, really wanted to love Champions Online (but so didn't), and am now looking forward to this title. It will release on the PS3 and PC simultaneously, hopefully with users able to play together on the same servers, but I'm not holding my breath on that last front. The original article is here.
Here's a PC game I'm really looking forward to. Billed as an unofficial sequel to Master of Magic, a game from the early 90s that I loved despite the idiotic AI that sucked away most of the challenge. It's a 4x game where you develop your cities and troops, ala any of the Civ games, but where you develop your mage's magical abilities instead of tech. Actually, judging by the screen shot below, it looks like you have both tech and spells to develop. At it's best, it's a combination of Civ and Populous. If the races and spells are even half as cool a MoM I'll be playing this for a long time. I played the GalCiv2 beta and really enjoyed it, as well as getting to make suggestions that were actually folded into the shipping game. Should be out in September of this year, assuming the beta testing goes well.
