* It’s been one of those weeks where everything comes together at the same time. I had to write three articles in ten days, totally around 2500 words. All strategy game related, all coming to a game place near you. So the blogging has been even lighter than usual. But a couple of these opportunities mean that there is a chance this blog will be updated even more often as I will have more incentive to play more games.<\/p>\n
* I also was approached by a former colleague to do some non-game related writing. I haven’t done that for a while, but it could be interesting.<\/p>\n
* I love my readers and listeners. Rick Wyatt pointed me to this excellent Dominions 3<\/em> walkthrough\/AAR over at Something Awful.<\/a> The author has been at it for over a year making commentary on every race’s strategy. It is amazing. <\/p>\n Though I’m not a member of SA, nor do I consider myself a regular reader, I do know that there is a strong strategy community over there that listens to the podcast. Thanks, Rick, for pointing this out.<\/p>\n * Meanwhile, Michael Braly (aka Sareln) compiled an analysis of the tech system in the Elemental: War of Magic beta. He did a great job of it. You can find the doc here on dropbox<\/a>, or read the discussion on the official forum<\/a>. Thanks, Michael for this excellent guide. Once I get my beta, I’ll use it.<\/p>\n * I have to review Hearts of Iron 3: Semper Fi<\/em> this week. I have not really been following the evolution of the game since soon after release, so I have no idea what to expect.<\/p>\n * I also have Reign: Conflict of Nations<\/em> on my hard drive. I really want to like it, and I think that once I have an idea of what exactly is going on, I will. It is very attractive at least.<\/p>\n * There is a new expansion for King Arthur: The Role Playing Wargame<\/em> called The Saxons<\/em>. I am seriously considering buying it. I never gave Arthur as much time as I should have but I am really looking forward to Neocore’s next game, Lionheart: King’s Crusade<\/em>.<\/p>\n * Lots of other professional writing ideas in the hopper, including one opportunity I am very excited about. I hope we can pull it off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" * It’s been one of those weeks where everything comes together at the same time.
