Finally I got around once more. Using the posts around the Colonel is now an idea stolen.

I've played 16 of them and seen all (having hoarding board game geek friends help a lot). 1830 and Britannia are two of my all time favourites and I have played both several hundred times. 1830 is a bit dated now since the formula works so much better in 1870. Republic of Rome is probably the...

I got through yesterday, and I find I'm rather pleased. Still not a big fan of the game play and rather certain I didn't get all the stuff available. When I don't like the combat doing it several times to see different outcomes is more than a little boring. Over all I think the story suits...

Not really ;) Got a little time with it yesterday, and I must say I lost some sparkle from my ME2-memories. Coming straight from DA2 the feeling of "this is a shooter, not an RPG" were extremely strong. And I don't like shooters. So far the story isn't quite up to the original and Shadow...

Then I know what to do this weekend ;)

3 more XP added. Finally.

After some hours I am switching fast between "OOOOH! Shiny!" bliss and "I Want My Numbers Back!" irritation. Dragon Age 2 so far seem to me to take a very long step in the same direction Mass Effect 2 did. Away from Baldur's Gate and the other turn based, detail oriented, tactically challenging...

Drakensang: The River of Time. And since you ask for March also I will be playing Dragon Age 2 in two weeks...

I was starting to write the continuation of that, but didn't bother listening to so much ranting, and then I found this Death To The World (with lyrics) from the HP Lovcraft historical society It is more than close enough...

I did that, and then found the solution deeply burried in the forums: DX11 is not working properly yet. With DX9 I played through without other trouble than some loading times. What that showed me is how much more awsome the game will be with DX11 and everything set at max. It was a really...

Steel Wind, I really don't appreciate being used as an example on something when the one using me is giving me motives I don't have and assuming meanings not meant. I'm not a native speaker of English, so I suppose I might have come out wrong within the limits of an XP-comment. I never had any...

Anyone else have much crashing trouble with the demo? It complains about a missing disk (a hard-disk no less...) when connecting to BioWare and on 4 tries I have had two failures to start, one freeze early in the first combat and one after killing the first hordes and accepting the character. I...

This is great news. Now let's hope we get a great game as well :)

Gary Moore died in his sleep today at age 58. I still got the blues :(

The matra around here has always been "Feed the GM" But other than that I certainly would say old single malt whisky is a sure way to bribe the GM (ie, me ;) )

It has to do with unclear rights mostly. But Might & Magic 1-6 are at Might and Magic® 6-pack: Limited Edition - GOG.com And some games simply used so many bugs from DOS and Windows display and sound drivers that any emulation probably is impossible :-(

That's one of the big advantages of GOG: You can download it, burn it, install it on all computers in your house (if you, like me, have more than one) and enjoy it. So yes, buying it from GOG let you burn the games to CD/DVD and with no DRM you can be pretty sure you can play it as long as you...

There is a widescreen patch worth considering at G3: Widescreen Mod Running at 640x480 is a bit difficult on modern equipment :)

Or you could use my favourite used games retailer Noble Knight games. Seems they have several at the moment. This is the original game: Civilization (Painting Cover) And they also have the Western Expansion allowing for more players: Civilization - Western Extension Map I really envy you if...

Make sure you can skip sections. Almost all convention games get in time trouble. What the really good games often provide is a fixed start, a lot of possible middle action, and a fixed end-challenge. One way that has worked well for me (both as a GM and a player) is to get the problem presented...
