There’s an experience I used to have as a kid that you don’t get in the modern age. Video games would come in a box with a cartridge or a disc inside, alongside a game manual.
Video Games
I do this for a living and for fun.
Davaeorn, Master of the Mine
The Troupe have made it deep into the Iron Throne’s mine in the Cloakwood Forest. They are close to Davaeorn, the leader of the mine. Yet Aegon’s visions of death linger, and there is uncertainty if they can survive the final encounter with Davaeorn and succeed in flooding the mine.
The Slow Death of a Queendom
I kept playing Kingdom: Classic this week in an attempt to see if I could complete the game. I didn’t get that far, but a run I had showed me how to play it better.
Strange Place for a Wedding
The Troupe make their way through the deeper parts of the Iron Throne’s mine, cleaving their way through hobgoblin guards. Now they have entered into a room filled with mutilated corpses, and a dark booming voice taunts them. What invisible foe awaits them in the torchlight?
Going Back to Kingdom: Classic
I’m back in the default world, so back to playing through my Steam Library once again. I already played the sequel to this game, so it’s interesting to go back to the original and see where it started.
Hobgoblin Guard’s Quarters
Aegon and the Troupe make their way deeper into the Iron Throne’s mine, encountering wave after wave of armed guards. After a short battle with hobgoblin guards, they are aware they are entering a trap. Unfortunately they have no choice but to keep moving forward.
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.
