Gamebooks and interactive fiction. Monday, September 22, 2014. Windhammer 2014- The Tomb of Aziris by Sam Beaven. Things aren't going well for you in Varra, a thriving city on the edge of a dry seabed. You're out of money, in debt, spent the night in the gutter, and now your creditor's goons have come calling. Luckily, a chance for fiscal freedom emerges. If you can recover a treasure from the recently uncovered Tomb of Aziris. Your debt will be wiped clean. And Castle of Spirits. I just wrote that.

April March: November 2014

Gamebooks and interactive fiction. Friday, November 7, 2014. Cross-posted from a gaming forum that isn't very big on IF, so apologies if a lot of this is redundant. 4 years ago Andrew Plotkin ran a Kickstarter campaign to create a big, puzzley, text adventure. He released it just a week ago and it's amazing. Plotkin is one of the grand-masters of IF. Like real auteur level, and the author of some of the best the genre has to offer. This game, Hadean Lands, is perhaps his most intricate. But that's just t...

Gamebooks and interactive fiction. Saturday, March 29, 2014. A Delicious Feast of Boiled Lobster. A couple of weeks ago I stumbled upon The Warlock of Firetop Mountain. 160;and Island of the Lizard King. The background doesnt provide any details as to who we are, just that were traveling south from Fang to the secluded fishing village of Oyster Bay. I wonder if the implication here is that were the same adventurer from the previous book in the series Deathtrap Dungeon. I rolled up a 12 for skill (huzzah!

April March: IFComp 2014 - Sigmund's Quest
http://aprilmarchgb.blogspot.com/2014/10/ifcomp-2014-sigmunds-quest.html
Gamebooks and interactive fiction. Thursday, October 2, 2014. IFComp 2014 - Sigmund's Quest. Interface nit-picking aside, Sigmund's Quest just doesn't have the content to be a contending entry. That's unfortunate. There's a lot of potential here. But IFComp just isn't the place for a tech demo, no matter how much affection went into it's creation. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Musings of Samuelj: My top ten electronic albums

Christian, geek, writer, and creator of Tweet RPG! My blog so far - 100 posts. Friday, 4 February 2011. My top ten electronic albums. 10 Badmarsh and Shri. 8211; Noise Won't Stop. Get your synthesizers out! 8 Mad Capsule Markets. 8211; OSC – DIS. Time for some punk-techno-metal. Combining raspy distorted bass, d'n'b drum loops, heavy guitars and confusing English/Japanese vocals, this record is an anime seizure for your ears. Although not purely an electronic album, this had to make the top ten f...With ...

The Musings of Samuelj: Disappointment...
http://themusingsofsamuelj.blogspot.com/2010/09/disappointment.html
Christian, geek, writer, and creator of Tweet RPG! My blog so far - 100 posts. Saturday, 25 September 2010. You may remember that earlier this year, a certain video game was the subject of quite a few of my posts. Well, it's been a few months since the release of Final Fantasy XIII. And I think it's time for my verdict so far. The fact that I haven't made any comments on FF XIII. The word 'linear' sums up my experience of FF XIII. Story-line is fairly non-existent, it's gameplay is absolutely flawless...

The Musings of Samuelj: The heavy metal you SHOULD be listening to!
http://themusingsofsamuelj.blogspot.com/2011/01/heavy-metal-you-should-be-listening-to.html
Christian, geek, writer, and creator of Tweet RPG! My blog so far - 100 posts. Monday, 10 January 2011. The heavy metal you SHOULD be listening to! There are a lot of misconceptions regarding music genres, a lot of stereotypes that don't necessarily hold their water. With this in mind, I want to spend a little bit of time considering 'heavy metal', and why Christians shouldn't dismiss it out of hand. Can be just as immoral as a track by. As I Lay Dying. Official webpage when Tim Lambesis states,. If you'...
