Games

So, probably the craziest thing I have done, recently I decided to design an entire, and very complex, game.

See, I enjoy a good video game, but the genres of games that I used to like have died out one by one. My personal favorite were Tactical RPGs. Now, these days, while RPGS still exist, technically, it's really in name only.

One of the highest profile RPGs are the ones designed to mimic good old D&D. I used to play the old pen & paper version back in the 80s, back when it was almost a pure tactical wargame. It's nothing like that now.

A little bit incensed at the direction the Video Games have shown D&D to be going, and having heard about the latest changes being adapted to the games from 4th Edition (which essentially are turning the game more and more to a MMORPG, even the Pen & Paper version), and greatly missing the old tactical feel in everything, I decided to spend a bit of time making a high-end tactical version, or the direction that I would have taken the games (argueably unpopular though those decision might have been, seeing as how much money the MMORPG-influenced RPGs are making), which has turned from a gentle pastime into a time-eating, mutli-month odyssey.

So, anyway, here it is Aaroneous Lives again!
