Last night's Deadland's campaign ended in pretty much a TPK. The only member of the party who managed to run away had already been killed and was brought back as a Harrowed zombie earlier. Since TPKs happen so rarely in beholdsa's games (this being the second in ten campaigns), they can actually be interesting to think about. Wikipedia of course ( Read more... )

I actually find a trend in video game design and game discussions interesting. I read an article at Forbes today since Ultima Online is mentioned at #10 of "revolutionary games" since it was an early MMO and the first one that got attention leading to the more popular games that followed.

I just heard that Shadowbane was being closed. This game had already had the problem of switching from a pay-to-play model to an advertisement model. I'm sort of glad. Sorry, but this game bothered me.

I was going through my B5 cards trying to find a picture that scanned well. This one scanned remarkably well and fits a certain role with my journal: It feels wrong. No matter your point of view about B5's storyline, Psi-Cop Sheridan is the combination of two polar opposites into something that no one wants. The picture is either the good guy ( Read more... )

Athenat is really an important character for me. I think she was my first character that wasn't just me with a funny name. I learned a lot playing her over the years. I also learned a lot playing Ultima Online.

I'm slow. I don't fill out profiles that often. I have so many online accounts and such that it seems pointless to write them most of the time. I never got around to putting up some userpics until today. I guess I want to show them off now and explain why I picked them ( Read more... )
