Sibyl Moon Games: The Parser Tutorial Problem

My brother’s favorite board game is Mage Knight, a spectacularly intricate Vlaada Chvatil creation. I think it took him three hours to teach me, and he’s good at teaching board games. (If you want to learn Agricola in five minutes, I refer you to my brother.)

My sister-in-law … Keep reading →

Crypt of the Vampire is now available in English. And so is Marion Cotillard.

Gamefic: Managing and Customizing Scenes

The concept of scenes has always existed in Gamefic. The simplest kind of scene was simply a block of code that got called by the cue method. There were also specialized kinds of scenes like pause, prompt, and yes_or_no.

Where is Hardhome?

The ruined town of Hardhome is northeast of Castle Black, at the end of Storrold’s point, north of the Wall, but alarmingly close. At the end of episode 8 we leave John Snow and Tormund Giantsbane on a boat looking at the army of the dead. So where did they come from? And how far […]
