I guess the publishers of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim didn’t want to miss out on this cool release date: 11/11/11. Who can blame them! I’ve played Elder Scrolls IV and thoroughly enjoyed it, so it’s great to hear that there is a new sequel on the way. Here’s some footage from the demo featuring Dragon [...]

This looks quite interesting, but shame there are no screenshots or videos. Wonder how it will compare to Medieval Total War? The screenshots of their previous game HISTORYTM Great Battles of Rome, look very Total War like. Here’s some info: HISTORYTM Great Battles Medieval is based on the historical events of the Hundred Years War, [...]

Not sure what to think of this Sims Medieval game! Naff or not naff? Probably Naff methinks, but here’s some screenshots to be getting on with: Related articles by Zemanta The Sims Medieval announced (news.bigdownload.com) The Sims Medieval Coming Spring 2011 (brighthub.com) Knightlife: The Sims Medieval Announced (rockpapershotgun.com) The Sims Gets Medieval On You [The [...]

I did about 30 rough html docs and may do some more today while watching the rugby – which should be a walkover for England, but you never know, could be embarrassing!

I’ve decided that I really need to grind out the content for the Agincourt gamebook as swiftly as possible to keep up the momentum – more sweat and less prevarication and distraction from things like blogging is required!! I found when I put together www.marklord.info over the weekend, that I was able to get this [...]

I have been thinking again about some what ifs for the Agincourt gamebook. For example What If the English men-at-arms had not repulsed the French attack. Would Henry have ordered the English archers to join the melee? Would he have had a reserve of some sort that he could deploy? It seems unlikely, because of [...]

There it is I’ve named it, my top secret project. Well we’ll see how it goes. After having started work on this I’m not that worried that anyone will actually come and steal the idea of creating a gamebook surrounding the role of Henry V at the battle of Agincourt. I have now pretty much [...]

Back in my RPG days at school Traveller was always the best sf game out there. The open-ended nature of it was a blessing and a curse as you could do anything, which add-ons such as Trillion Credit Squadron, High Guard and Striker enabled, but also it lacked detailed good quality adventures, which meant that [...]
