D&D Today: Part 2

The Journal of Gars Sithersay: Golden Guardinel of Garland's Guardians

Day 5

I met up with the adventuers I had been tasked to find a few hours ago and am currently keeping the last watch. I left the day after I received my orders and traveled along their more likely route towards Gnoll lands. Although my skills as a tracker are not as good as some, the trail of bodies they left in their wake simplified things greatly. I hope that I will be able to prevent more of this from happening for even though they may be of evil intent, no living thing should be prevented from walking in the light.

As dusk fell on this day I felt the need to push on into the night. I had been traveling for 2
days already and wanted to end this part of my journey. I soon heard the sound of a battle in
the distance. I urged Stalos forward and was soon able to see in the dim moonlight what surely
must be the ones I was looking for, onset by a gnollish squad.

My ideas of preventing further bloodshed were dashed as a battle field is no place for
diplomacy. The blood pumping through one's veins keeps cool heads from prevailing, and words
that what would normally be akin to peace fall on deaf ears. Forward I rode into the fray, my broadsword making short work of these intruders, my steed's hooves raising up, keeping the gnolls at bay. Soon all that remained were myself and five others, a few stray gnolls running off into the night.

I introduced myself, they did in turn, and I explained why I had been sent. They seemed relieved to have another hand, and one that could ease their pains as well, which I promptly did. As I was not as weary as they looked, I offered to keep watch the rest of the night which they
eagerly excepted. Their light snores are the only sounds I hear now, that, and the wind blowing through the leaves. I can't help but wonder what the upcoming days will bring, and hope that they are more peaceful than this one.

Ha! It wasn't a month this time!

Another period of time later and here I am again. Let's see. Dirge of Cerebus just came out so I'll be picking that up in the upcoming months. Also picked up a couple of sweet games: Civilization IV: Warlords Darwinia Now, I know Warlords is only an expansion, but it adds lots of cool features to the game, such as having Great Generals which can give experience to your armies, a Great Wall that actually appears on the map, even being able to play as the barbarians. Who doesn't want to loot and plunder... You'll pay for this Captain Planet! Darwinia though, that is an amazing game! You are an observer in a virtual theme park which is populated by these little guys called Darwins. A virus invades the system and it's up to you to help them take back their territory but protect them from harm while you do. You can't directly control the Darwinians, but you can nudge them in the right direction. I'll be playing through for a third time soon, not just because I li...

Part 2 of the World's Largest Dungeon and Cookies

Image
So first thing's first. Apparently my blog uses cookies and I'm supposed to have an automatic notice about them to let you know if you're from Europe. I don't know how to make that work right now so I'll just let you know here that I have never changed any cookie gathering code or anything like that. I just post about game stuff and really don't care about cookie information and will never look at it. Okay, second session progress. It was well over a month ago and I barely remembered what happened. It was a lot of twists and turns through endless corridors. There was an ogre who was all frontin' at first but after getting thumped he backed down. Below is approximately the path the party took. I don't remember any traps but they were sure to have been funny.

My Favourite Style

So, I really like the Art Deco style. Don't know why, but I do. Games that use this however are even better. Two that come to mind are Bioshock and LA Noire . The former came out at the end of summer, 2007. The latter has yet to come out, but should be by end of 2009, and I hope it doesn't become vaporware . I remember when I first played Bioshock . I had just gotten my 360 and only had the couple of games that came with it. Marvel Ultimate Alliance didn't interest me at all, despite my love of Marvel, and Forza Motorsport 2 was a racing game that would have eventually required skills to master I wasn't willing to develop. I started going through all the demos and arcade games available and downloaded everything that even looked remotely interesting. I came across Bioshock and thought I'd give it a try. Now I don't watch horror movies, and I've only played a couple horror games, and FPS's aren't really my thing, but this was different! The style...
