Tales of the Shire review - lost potential trapped beneath a tedious life simulator Tales of the Shire promises to be a relaxing escape to hobbit life, but, the more you play this life simulator, the more wearisome the mechanics become.

Was hoping that Tales of The Shire would live up to the brilliance of its core idea... Oh, well, hopefully updates will fix things. www.eurogamer.net/tales-of-the...

That is -interestingly- a great point you just made there.

I would love to have those game revisited too. Or at least made available on GOG. Also, first time I hear about Interphase!

Boundless / Unbound is officially dead, and its former executives are most probably enjoying the money they stole from unpaid authors.

Nope. It's Mercenary 2 :)

I will be teaching both of these, so, well, do drop by, say hi, and perhaps learn something intriguing.

But would a Call of Cthulhu source book for 1920's Athens be a good idea?

A book spread with the chapter title โ€žIntroductionโ€œ. The heading โ€žphases of playโ€œ is on the left aide with four phases symbolized by four blue blocks. And the heading โ€žcity elementsโ€œ on the right page, with three red blocks symbolizing different kinds of elements.

After going over the #ExNovo test print I decided to overvaul this spread. Itโ€˜s the start of the book and Iโ€˜m curious if it is understandable for folks who donโ€˜t know the game.

So, if you have a few minutes, please give it a look and let me know what you think!
