Bait the Daywalker (DF) – welcome to The Next “Level”
OK, “level” is overused in RPGs. There are character levels, dungeon levels, spell levels, book levels, and any number of other uses of the same overused word. But, games of Zang/Moria break down into distinct parts, defined by the time … Continue reading
Bait the Daywalker, level 24
I am making a lot more progress now that I can walk around during the day. I have a lot of the map visible now, and have started finding non-dungeon areas that have numeric markers on them, indicating that they … Continue reading
Bait the Vampire Chaos/Sorcery Mage – level 23
I found the most wonderful magic item ever. My vampire can now walk around during the day! Oh, and I got my first Westernesse blade. It’s too heavy for me to hit anything with it, but I can hang it … Continue reading
Back to roguelikes – ZAngband 2.7.3
After a long hiatus, I decided to fire up Zangband 2.7.3 again. I prefer IMoria, since it’s the variant I know best, but Zang is available and easy to run, and it’s got several upgrades that I really like (colored … Continue reading

Winter is the time for videogames
Even with the strangeness surrounding Christmas videogame buying this year, I picked up a few good titles. With TV being awful (yay, reruns), this is the time of year that videogames become the household entertainment. It’s a bit like being … Continue reading

Leisure time
from the halfway point of the winter break, I have had a lot of time to unwind. I’ve been fishing a lot. Cliff caught a nice 8# steelhead on the Ugly Stik. The river was in perfect condition, a lot … Continue reading

BioWare hands down another nice game
I’m about an hour into BioWare’s new Dragon Age: Origins. So far, it feels like Baldur’s Gate (the original PC version — still waiting for the miniature giant space hamster to show up), but with a better backstory. I continue … Continue reading
