Wow. Has it really been a whole year since that lil fiasco? I feel old.

I got an idea a few weeks ago shortly after getting Dark Ages: Mage. Why not use the supernatural material presented in the Dark Ages games to examine a historical event? I extrapolated on this, and arrived on the following: a "dual short chronicle," following the activities of two groups- one...

I indicated interest in joining up some time ago, but you were full. My offer still stands. I'll be able to have a character to you before Tuesday, for your approval.

Siege of Darkness was the best.

Calain snarls and keeps towards the center of the ship, directing five of his tentacles to grapple the drow boarding near to Akharos and directing the others to grapple as they see fit. With a wave of his hand and a spoken word, a dagger of force materializes before him and flies at the mage...

(Sorry everyone, ENBoards haven't worked for me all week...so, without further adieu): After activating his boots and casting his spell, Calain throws a Minor Globe of Invulnerability around himself and casts Evard's Black Tentacles in an attempt to grapple any drow that come on board near him...

Calain activates his boots of speed and casts Stoneskin on himself.

Calain remains standing, gazing out at the side of the river, apparently nonplussed by the attackers. However, he slides one of his sleeves back and settles calmly into a casting stance, waiting to see what's next.

My favorite games for the PS2: Final Fantasy X: One of the best CRPG's ever, and the first of the Final Fantasy series that has a truly sad ending. The voice acting is good (and there's lots of it), and the world is interesting. And beautifully animated, to boot. Metal Gear Solid 2: Although...

Calain's eyes burn with rage. "You're walking on thin ice, drow. I come and go as I choose, kill or spare as I please, and I will not be led along on a string like some sort of puppet for your own personal agenda. I'll go to this temple of yours, on the off chance that Storm may be harmed by my...

Calain quickly scans his surroundings, touches his neck briefly, and stands, nearly knocking his chair over. He is obviously not happy. Taking several quick strides towards the drow, he snarls and lifts his hand threateningly. "You listen to me, woman. I don't know who you are or what you...

I've always used the classic "Thieves' Guild" sign from Quest for Glory: Take your right hand and spread your fingers out. Put your thumb to your nose and wiggle your four remaining fingers while rubbing or patting your stomach with your left hand.

My games tend to rate in the "R" range. A general theme of moral ambiguity hangs over my games: the characters are generally positively inclined, but they've used tactics like exortion, theft, and execution to achieve their ends. Moreover, my antagonist is not evil. Just another man with other...

Calain growls as his eyes take on a look of utter rage. "Your scare tactics are worth nothing, demon. You will suffer for what you have done..." He takes a step back and gives a thought to his boots, speaking an incantation after he feels the rush through his reflexes. Calain takes a 5' step...

Calain stands, rubbing his chin, as his eyes widen and the idea suddenly dawns on him. "This is MY dream..." He looks around, remembering Issian's words, and lifts his hands out to his side, focusing his mind on his surroundings. "You! Foul demon that has desecrated this town and my slumber...

(Sorry for the late update, I just got out of the week from hell) Calain turns his head slowly about the square. "The priest said he was defending this town from an attack by the forces from the North...and he superimposed the image of an event from my past. But this doesn't look like the same...

Calain's eyes stare blankly at the ground, a look of horror on his face as he holds his hands in front of his unblinking gaze. When Everett touches him, he jumps, turning on the bard and pulling a knife. For a moment, he quivers, but then he lets his hand fall and he shakes his head...

Calain kneels beside the corpse of the priest, his head hung low. "I am sorry...I'm sorry I couldn't help you as you helped me..." Seeing the man's face, he becomes suddenly and painfully aware of the scars on his back. He grits his teeth as a cold sweat takes him and his eyes glaze, trying to...

Calain rubs his chin thoughtfully. "Someone is in control of this dream. The priest said he would have to be dominated before we could leave..." He looks around. "The priest brought us here. Maybe he is connected to this controller. Look for his corpse among the dead. I'm going to look...

Shogun again. And Shogun is actually bigger than Musashi- but the action NEVER lets up. Clavell is a master at keeping a story moving. And the endng is great. Yoshikawa's Musashi and Taiko are also very good novels. Musashi deals more with the common Japanese man, while Taiko aims at the...
