Another busy week is coming to a close, but I did have time to check these out and recommend them:
- Color me interested by Against the Darkmaster, discussed a bit here. Except I never played MERP, I liked Rolemaster.
- I always wonder about the best ways to do this kind of "vastness." How do you give people a chance to fill in a hex map by exploring the nooks and crannies, yet also show them what they can see far away? Give the rough outline, even the terrain, but make sure it's clearly not explored yet. My mapping vocabulary isn't up to that.
- I stumbled upon this in my bookmarks of things to "read later." Well, it sure is later. But it's an article about a private airforce with outdated but still modern and lethal aircraft. It's the kind of thing that reminds me that in a modern game, when the PCs need to go up against UFOs or flying squid monsters or whatever . . . it's quite possible to get military gear into their hands without putting them into the military. My sci fi games PCs always wanted a private arsenal . . . maybe in such games you could do the same.
