I was thinking about the story I bumped up from the depths earlier. I mentioned how when I run D&D, I try to treat every sentient being as an individual. This is probably my liberal philosophy speaking, but I can’t believe that any sentient mortal race is inherently evil. Their culture certainly might be, and individuals certainly are, but if they were born into a different culture, would they not turn out differently? Eitherway, good or evil, they are ends […]

In the absence of me feeling inspired to write anything new (I am particularly rubbish at this time of year), here is a little fragment I fiddled about with, back in the days that Dragon magazine did “Ecology of” articles. They were usually a bit of short fiction, mixed with some game background, to liven up an existing monster type. The characters and locations mentioned would be well known to the players in my own AD&D campaign, being located on […] A content patch! The Borg missions have arrived have, and Admirals now also have Daily missions to attend to. In addition, the Borg should be cropping up in exploration missions now. Vital, because quite a lot of folks have made it to Admiral now, and have not had terribly much to do. My favourite change is that the annoying wait after completing an exploration mission should be gone too, making it much easier to build up a decent stack of […] I needed a bit of a break from the slightly monotonous space combat of Star Trek Online, so I’ve been checking out a few free online games. Today I had a bash at Warrior Epic. Warrior Epic is a sort of Diablo-esque affair, though using a 3D engine for both world and characters. I picked it because it was described as you having a Hall of warriors that you could send on missions. I was expecting to be able to […] It appears that the Ewoks have been roped in to be the mascots of what passes for Valentine’s Day celebrations over in Star Wars Galaxies. Is it a rule over there that every festival has to be tied to a furry humanoid? Folks are still trying to lose the pounds they gained during the Wookie lifeday festival. Are Ewoks particularly wise in the ways of love? Anyway, this is as good an excuse as any to indulge in one of […] Episode 9 – Resistance Badly damaged in their first encounter with the Qaxorian fleet, the Starblade has crash landed on the surface of Titan. But will the moon’s mysterious inhabitants prove to be friendly or just another threat? If you happen to like our little show, do please share it with anyone else you think might be interested. Season one’s Episodes 1-8 are also available through the player below. […] Just a quick post to illustrate why the skill, “Ramming Speed”, a skill all classes get at level 23, is seriously out of whack in Star Trek Online. The damage ramming speed does depends upon the speed you are going. Combining a few skills together, you get the result below. Ramming Speed! The Crystalline Entity fleet action, found in the level 15-19 Alpha Centauri sector block, is similar to a simple public quest in Warhammer Online. The table […] |
