As a much-belated follow-up to a post I wrote back in 2001, I had the intention at the time of making an original module for the game Neverwinter Nights (the game can still be bought on GOG.com) that I called Forever Lost. Even though I never got beyond writing the outline, creating names for some of the characters, and thumbing [...]

So for the uninitiated, I grew up during the golden age of video games, the 1980s, which includes the era of the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). By current standards, the pioneering games of that era were graphically and logically quite primitive. Coupled with the fact that many of those games have imperfections and areas that could stand for improvement [...]

Since, I built my first new computer in nearly seven years this Summer, I've been trying to catch up on a long list of computer games that I've been dying to check out. At the top of the list was Bioshock, which turned out to be a pretty awesome game in nearly every aspect. The story and setting was hauntingly [...]

I went to Gen Con every year through the 90's up until it was moved out of Milwaukee. I miss it even though I admittedly never took part in the actual gaming that went on there. I did, however, enjoy exploring the exhibit hall and gazing at all the hard-to-find stuff that you couldn't get anywhere else. I especially liked [...]

The first of my many rants is now online.  This one is about Online Gaming.  My future rants will include the "new" Battletech, computer game development, the 9/11 attacks (maybe), software piracy, Sci-Fi TV shows, and the quality of computer porn (well, maybe not that last one.) Playing games over the Internet is a fairly new innovation.  It originated from [...]

I wrote a story that I want to make into a Neverwinter Nights mod, la-de-da.  It's part of my new strategy, as to landing a decent job... maybe.  Unfortunately, this game won't be out until spring (*praying*), so I have no idea if it's even possible for me to create this mod.  We'll see...

This is an attempt I made at a floor plan for a tabletop run of D&D. It only consists of two floors of an inn and a relatively linear dungeon. I was inspired to make this while playing Baldur's Gate. This was made in Photoshop, and I have never used this in any practical manner. The Severed Hand Inn Map [...]

I have been playing and witnessing the evolution of computer/video games for most of my life now.  I can still remember the days of playing black and white (actually green) games on my old Apple IIe.  And since then we have come a really long way in the video game evolution. Ultima This has to be one of the greatest [...]

I've only been playing pen & paper games for around 10 years now.  D&D was the first one that I was exposed to... actually it might have been Monopoly now that I think of it... or Clue even. BattleTech I probably have more money invested into this game than any other.  It really is an amazing game with the level [...]
