Pretty quiet round these parts, eh? This has mostly been due to me wasting huge amounts of time playing Arcanum (something I last did a few years ago) to get some sort of RPG fix after my recent D&D revelation. This time I’m playing a couple of different characters in parallel, including a thief, which is turning out to be more enjoyable than I expected, as well as showing an entirely different facet of the game.

This post is brought to you, again, by the D&D podcast. Today I went back to the first Penny Arcade / PvP podcast. This is a really good introduction to the world of D&D as it features some new players learning to play the game for the first time, having never rolled a D20 in their lives. For veteran players this also has some commentary by the DM on the changes present in 4E.

Now, if anyone out there is interested in giving this D&D lark a go, please let me know!

Game over

I’ve been playing Arcanum for about six months and I’ve just completed it. It turned into a bit of a slog at the end but over all it was a well plotted RPG. I’d have to agree with other reviewers that the mechanism for travelling about became very repetative towards the end.

I haven’t completed many games in my life, so I thought I’d mark the occasion here. Thank you for your attention.
