Waste time or wait too long? Lose an hour. Party gets incapacitated? Lose an hour. If you … Continue reading Scene-based Adventure Structure and The Hobbit →

Dark Souls Life Lessons

Thanks to Necropraxis on Chris McDowall's Bastionland podcast for convincing me to play this one. I have sunk over 40 hours into this game, which for me, is a lot to put into any video game RPG.
