It's been too long, as always, since my last post. I intend to write more regularly, but inevitably forget when I actually sit at my computer.
Since my last post I've started writing various ideas for my fantasy football game. In the last week I've actually changed it quite radically due to what I think is a better idea - simplifying the game more, but hopefully making it more workable and potentially more interesting.
I've started designing cards for my fantasy cardgame, which has been an exciting experience. I'm not much of an artist and actually making the stuff doesn't have the same appeal as writing the ideas down, so I've surprised myself a little in how the cards are looking. I hope to have a whole set out within a few weeks for a trial game!
Ganglands and my GFL game have taken a backseat for now, but I ponder them on occasion.
In the land of computer games I've been getting back into RAGE! I love it, it's brilliant, I've ranted about it before. Best £12 I've ever spent on a computer game.
It was my birthday at the end of June and with my birthday money I bought a copy of Talisman, 4th edition. This is an old classic from my childhood, which is also the foundation of my fantasy cardgame idea. I must say I have missed Talisman a lot! I've mostly just played 2 player with a mate, but we managed to rope in Dave from Mondo into a game last Tuesday, and it's so much fun! Big improvement on the Talisman I used to play, which from my research was considered the worst!
My mate has ordered the Reaper expansion already, as a sort of late birthday present for me. Looking forward to picking it up next week and cracking out some more games when friends and family visit over the next couple of months.
Playing Talisman is making me think more about my fantasy cardgame, so this should help to speed up it's development.
Other games I have my eyes on are Project Pandora from Mantic (I am becoming a big fan of them!), FIFA 13 (I'm a sucker for it...), Baldur's Gate re-make for PC (one of my favourite games ever!) and Doom 3 re-make for xbox (one of my favourite games ever!).
Good times ahead I hope!
