If you haven’t heard already, Cryptic is developing a new game based on the D&D 4E rules that is set in the Forgotten Realms and is named Neverwinter. I just finished writing what ended up as a 21+ page screed on what I was hoping to see in the game. That screed can be found at: http://www.hythia.com/neverwinter/ If you have comments about that page, this is the place to make them.. If one wishes to avoid having to flee into self-exile while awaiting the diminishment of scandal, then I must say that one needs to pay more attention to the sorts of parties their aunt chooses to hold in their sitting rooms. I start this journal, uncertain as to what eyes may someday gaze upon it. I hide this journal beneath the wallboards of my home, in fear of what eyes may someday gaze upon it. Fallen London is a place where secrets are more valuable than one’s own life, because death is not forever but a secret lost may never be regained. So my PSP is once again my primary gaming platform. Just haven’t felt like sitting down in front of the TV to goof with my PS3 or 360 (or PS2) lately and been a bit too anti-social to login to a MMO. So my office (where I do far too much of my reading, really) is rapidly being taken over by my books. Doing another batch book comment / review since I’ve fallen so far behind again. I know I am a bad blogger when I let such a gap happen between posts that I forget my password to login. So I got in the mail today the new D&D Starter Set (the new red box), Dungeon Tiles Master Set: Dungeon, and Heroes of the Fallen Lands and the Rules Compendium. I think I may have wasted my money on all of those except the tile set. Common sense lessons you would think I’d have learned by now. When cooking something on the stove, steak for example, in a frying pan with very hot oil you do not want to be wearing sandals. I’ve been Civ free for almost 20 hours now. Though likely after I right this I’ll go back and play some more. Civ 5 came out at 7am for me on Tuesday, I played it basically all day that day (which I had off of work), then all after work Wednesday, then all day Thursday (when I should have been working from home). Have to say, I like it a lot, it is definately an improvement on Civ 4 (the version of Civ 4 that existed when it was released) but it isn’t without flaws. From Hell With Love is the most recent book in Simon R Green’s “Secret Histories” series with the main character of Eddie Drood, aka Shaman Bond. It was also the second book I bought on my Kindle and I’ve been meaning to review this for a few days. |
