This was written right at the start of 2001. Some of it was useful. Some of it was a shameless ploy to direct readers into a choice that would only benefit me! Me! ME! Muahaha! Nevertheless; despite the mercenary tactics I still find it interesting that GameWyrd was set up to be geeky and a […]

The Wild Hunt – LARP gets sexy, nasty
Mazes and Monsters the first movie I watched which featured gaming in it. The anti-table top film pretty much confirmed my believe in the awesomeness of the hobby.

The trailer shows off glimpses of most aspects of the game; the cut-scenes, costumes, battle stances, attacks and even wandering around. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmxD5zxpvvE
Splinters of the Wyld – is it an Exalted exclusive?
I must admit – I’m not quite sure what White Wolf is trying to say about Splinters of the Wyld. The tagline seems to be “Sometimes writers write too much”. Here’s how the description of the Exalted supplement kicks off; “The Compass of Terrestrial Directions, Vol. II—The Wyld offers many locations, people and creatures for […]
