The Return

13 months since the last update here. Dang. Lots of books read and games played since then. Too many to really name. So instead I'll just name the current ones. Games: Thief, Archeage (beta), Neverwinter Online, Minecraft. Marvel Heroes was on that list until the game decided to quit starting up. Books: Path of the Archon (Dark Eldar series, Warhammer 40k) with the first 2 books previous to it.

Around 2000, I made a website (TerraAnimi) that started out as purely a collection of links to various sites I found interesting. This was way before the days of browsers being able to sync your settings between different computers. This website was my way to handle that. Eventually, I also added some personal creations (short stories, poems, rpg stuff, etc.) on there too. Mid-2001 found me out of a job; and even though I thought I had the host paid for the year, I discovered my site gone one day. Unfortunately, in my stupidity, an available backup was not to be found. Over the years, I have tried to find a copy of it. Google cache and Internet Archive managed to find me a few pages, but the vast majority (99%) was gone.

This past weekend I finally had enough the of chaos that is the office and started cleaning things up. Day 2 found me going through old CDs. One unmarked CD had a backup of an old computer (oh, the days of the monthly formatting). Lo and behold, on there was a copy of TA!! Google Drive will be its new home until I can go through it all. Needless to say, I am a happy man.

WIR: Ravenor - The Omnibus

My current WIR book is Ravenor: The Omnibus. This is is third time I've start this book. The other two times I didn't make it even 100 pages in before putting it down in place of something else. It was usually a much shorter book that replaced it. This does not mean I couldn't get into the story but rather that I wanted something that was easier to carry around with me. This book is definitely not small, weighing in at 890 pages and in a larger format than normal paperback books. At 115 pages into it this time and enjoying it a lot.

Gone Digital: Shadowrun Returns

Woot! Two Kickstarter payoffs this month. First was the Reaper Bones mini, and now Shadowrun Returns. After waiting over a year since the KS ended, only a five more days to wait. Here is its main site and its trailer.

A Load of Minis

Well, I'm a happy gamer. My shipment of Reaper's Bones miniatures from their Kickstarter campaign finally arrived! I have no idea when, or if, I will get around to painting them all (not going to say how many but it's a lot). I'm just glad they finally showed up so I don't have to worry about it any more.

WIR: Ahriman: Exile

I'm back to Warhammer 40k with this Ahriman: Exile. It's based one of my favorites from the 40k universe: Azhak Ahriman, former Librarian of the Thousand Sons.
