Neverwinter

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..

What I’ve Read Lately – Aug 2010 – Part 2

So this is a couple of days late… I got delayed writing this by the time it took to scribe the long Neverwinter screed that is sticky’d right now, by goofing around in DDO and Borderlands, by working in my garden and reading other books.

FFXIV is failing to impress

Been meaning to write about this for a bit (and actually to write here more often in general) but with the NDA basically down, and it less then a month to launch, I have to say that so far FFXIV has been failing to impress.

STO getting better slowly

With Season 2 out, STO is finally getting closer to the game it should have been at launch. It has always been a decent game, but when it launched so many things where left feeling only half-finished, or just plain not there at all, that it really failed to impress a lot of people.

The Black Magician Trilogy by Trudi Canavan

I would like to start this off by saying that this is a series I likely would have read ages ago (the third one came out in paperback in ’04) except for one reason: the cover art stinks.
