Okay, time for a little status update. I’m supposed to be in Thailand right now on business for ye olde Day Job. Due to the terrible flooding in that region, that’s been delayed.  So my schedule and plans have had to be a little bit on the flexible side (is that a good euphemism for […]

Sword & Sorcery Underworld Gets New Paint

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 30, 2011

I meant to post this over the weekend: Do you remember “Sword and Sorcery: Underworld” by Classic Games Remade? It’s an indie RPG inspired heavily by the early Might & Magic titles. The mechanics are pretty decent, overall, but when even *I* can tell that the visuals were jarringly poor, something’s wrong. If you can […]

Diablo III: Lord of Bling?

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 2, 2011

The Diablo III news at the beginning of this week caused quite a stir: 1. The game requires a constant Internet connection to play.

Indie RPG News Roundup, April 2011

Posted by Rampant Coyote on April 12, 2011

Time for the latest news that’s fit – or unfit – for online bits. This month seems like it’s the “movie edition,” but that’s just how the dice land sometimes. I’m kind of amused at how we have both an Age of Decadence and an Age of Fear (fear following the decadence?) this month, and […]
