Ah, yes, the 4e Defender. From watching the fighter and paladin in my campaign, their slogan could be: "Turn your back on Me, will you?" followed by a solid THWACK.

There's a really dirty joke in here, somewhere. Or maybe this is the punch-line to one.

This ones still unfinished. The southern trading city of Resal, more than once put to the sword and the torch. One of Berenshar's oldest cities, it is a city built upon the ruins of a city built upon ruins. It is believed that an ancient city of the fabled first folk, the Aewyn, lies at the...

You've seen the home of the famed Knight-Mages...but our heroes hail from a different order, one who considers them esteemed rivals. That would be the King's own Arbok Guard, named for Berenshar's greatest hero during the Ill War, some 1100 years ago. Formed shortly after the ending of the...

Thanks, all. Next up is a map for the players. While on the Isle of Dread, which is in fact a demi-plane that shifts between the Prime and the Feywild, the players encountered the People of Grandmother Squirrel. A humble tribe of fisherfolk sheltered from the islands many threats (such as the...

Sure, remind me again why my PS3 is inferior. Curse you! True, but unlike the PC, most consoles are totally lacking in RPGs other than JRPGs. If you elminate Bioware and JRPGS from consoles, you don't have much left. :)

Next up and last for today is the main map of the Temple of Vergan, also located on the Isle of Dread. Once a thriving temple on the Island more than thousand years ago, it was corrupted by false worshippers of Vergan, practicing dark magics in the name of the god who was (at that time) cast...

Next up: The fortress of the Stormwrack Corsairs on the Isle of Dread. Allied with a group known as the Cruel Wizards, the Corsairs were aiding them in terrible experiments in mind control and energy manipulation. Our heroes, members of the valiant Arbok Guard, managed to free their...

So since starting my 4e campaign last year, I've been on something of a tear with regards to maps. I figured I should share them here, in case folks find them interesting or usable. First up is the City of Northwatch, home to Berenshar's famed Knight-Mage order. Though the order predates the...

True, but the DS reigns supreme when it comes to the sheer number of RPGs (particularly JRPGs) available. The 360 has, roughly, 27 RPGs. If you include action-RPG hybrids, that number probably rises to 40-50. The DS, by contrast, has anywhere from 100-200, depending on your definition. That...

Well, in reference to your first point: In MY game, anyhow. I'm very curious to see how that plays out when the final game comes to fruition.

Actually, for that sequence, only two characters are capable: Jack or Samara. But if they weren't loyal or you hadn't got Jack's tech upgrade to her biotics, that could have done it.

No sir, it does not. You CAN get through with no hands lost, but it's dependent on several things: loyalty levels, right person for the job and equipment upgrades. I've seen/played through and lost no one. I've also watched videos of someone who speed-played through the game...the term...

You also will find that much of the information you're passed in ME2 is false, at least with regards to the databank. Much of the information has been skewed to the party line of events, which often whitewashes what actually happened in the game. For me, one of the best parts of ME2 was...

Definitely find a way. You won't regret it!

Very interesting stuff, this. Thanks! I'll have to delve deeper. I like the concept, to be sure. How did you feel the system was overall (based on your admittedly limited exposure)?

The reviews on Newegg don't make it look that attractive, unfortunately. I did note that the Multi-touch support is only on Windows 7 Premium and it only ships with Windows 7 Starter, which is kind of a bait-and-switch, IMHO. Another device with a 1024x600 screen! Why is it so hard to do...

Details, man. We'll need DETAILS.

If you think Indy is a dirty city, you clearly haven't been to a large city on the coasts (and probably shouldn't) ;) As someone who works in center city Philadelphia daily....Indy is pretty dang clean.

One word of caution: this encounter was designed for him, so his low mobility of Speed 2 didn't hinder him. You may want to give him that or give him reach to make him a little more of a threat. I envisioned him like the giant crayfish he was modded from. Sort of a steampunk scorpion-drider...
