Gaming As Grown-Ups
Jana Stocks (AKA ~J / JenaRey) has an article on The Escapist today talking about living as a grown-up gamer --- or specifically, hanging out with a small community of grown-up gamers. And yes, if the link to Rampant Games wasn't a dead giveaway, the "Jay" she mentions in the article is yours truly.

It's not really a pointed article or anything - just a few semi-vignettes and slices of life from people who never got the memo that you are supposed to put away those "childish" things like RPGs and videogames when you grow up, get married, and have children. And we're pretty happy we didn't.

* Adult Dungeons & Dragons
* Out-Games By My Daughter

Thats actually one of the (few) problems I had with Eschalon Book I.

There were a couple of times in the game that I found some good loot. Died. Loaded my savegame, went to the same chest and my good loot wasn't there.

I think random treasure can be interesting, but populate the chests when a new game is first loaded please.

That way you can still have random treasure and remove the save-game-gaming
 
That article was awesome. Cool to read.
