I do this for a living and for fun.
The Husk of a Horror Game
This week I played a game that started out great, with a dark and creepy atmosphere. Unfortunately, though it gets the lift-off right, it fails to deliver on the landing. The horror is quickly lost, and the game devolves into a tedious slog that loses its grip on the player.
Breaking the Wizard’s Chains
While the troupe attempts to infiltrate the Iron Throne’s Mine, they come across a wizard defending the lower levels. The mage manages to take control of Aegon’s mind, who turns against his own Troupe. They flee and now Aegon must find a way to resist the wizard’s charm.
Finding A Hidden Tutorial
I’ve been playing more Cthulhu Realms lately, attempting to learn how to play better by finishing the hard campaign. It was only after beating my head against the hard campaign that I discovered the achievements are the real way to learn how to play.
Through the Secret Tunnel
Aegon and the Troupe enter the Iron Throne’s mine and discover the miners to be slaves. They have provided the Troupe with a plan to flood the mine. Though they may not find Tazok here, they have agreed to stick yet another thorn in the Iron Throne’s plans.
Death of the Android Race
The Space Crew fight their way across Alpha Centauri against androids left behind by the Phasmids wiped out near Earth. Seeking revenge for the death of their creators, the androids are a threat to humanity’s colonies in a new solar system.
Into the Iron Throne’s Mine
After several failed attempts, Aegon has finally led a group of people to the Iron Throne’s Mine deep within the Cloakwood. They have fought their way through the guards and now stand at the elevator that will take them to the mine.
Space Crew Versus Androids
The Phasmids have reprogrammed cyborgs originally created by humans, and now those androids want revenge! A new Space Crew must battle its way through the Alpha Centauri system, against a new foe with new abilities and an unknown end goal.
Shadows Beneath the Cloakwood
The Troupe once again returns to the Cloakwood, where they raid the wyvern caves one more time. After a tough fight with a family of wyverns, the Troupe are left with a choice. Do they continue into the abyss, or do they retreat so they can finally assault the mines?
Building a Base in Africa
Despite playing X-COM: UFO Defense a lot more than other games when I was a kid, I’ve never actually made it this far. Bad things are happening in my campaign, but I’m having some successes as well.
