Carnival of Gamers

The Carnival of Gamers is working as intended at Aeropause. There’s something about everything over there: MMO farming, console gaming, interviews and a guild scam.

Heh, speaking of guild scams, there’s this guild on my Warcraft server that recently purged its ranks. Cut almost 1/2 of their roster. Reason? The laid-off players were accumulating too much DKP and they might’ve scored some phatty lewt. So, the officers and the officer asslickers booted them out. Au revoir, DKP.

Here’s the punchline: the idiots kicked the guildbank character out of the guild, too. (woops) Au revoir, guild bank.

I believe that’s what you call instant kharma. Dig it.

Worldwide DnD Game Day

Dungeons & Dragons

This Saturday, November 5, 2005, is Worldwide Dungeons & Dragons Game Day. You have to actually leave your house to participate. (GOD NO!) And, of course, D & D involves pencil and paper and dice (GOD NO!) … real old skool stuff.

As Dungeons & Dragons is the grandfather of MMO fantasy games (Hail, Lord Nagafen!), I will participate in my own way … buried in a Warcraft dungeon that may or may not contain dragons. Wouldn’t know it by us, some raids. Dungeon appears to be full of trash mobs, there be dragons??

Anyways. If you’re a FilePlanet subscriber, or your e-friend is a subscriber, D & D Online has prioritized beta apps available. Be sure to login first, else you’ll have to fill out the app twice. As is typical, they want to know your gaming resume, and if you work for a fansite, game pub or in the industry. Technically, I didn’t lie. Remember that.

While reading around the net about D & D history, I ran across this dandy site with some Christian game writing. The author’s original D & D piece, “Straight Talk on Dungeons & Dragons”, is also … interesting.

I like to start off my day with at least a couple of the deadly sins. (For the record, that was: pride, anger, greed and sloth plus a few mortal sins for diversification.)
