Up to recently, I was pretty convinced that old-school RPGs were a dying breed – a rare and precious thing well past the point of extinction, kind of like dodos or woolly mammoths. Sure, there were fairly new games such as Pillars of Eternity, Torment: Tides of Numenora, and Tyranny, which continued to walk in […]
23 July, Monday 11:30 Funny how soldier’s luck is a finicky thing. A few days ago, I was under an investigation, practically a step away from court-martial.
