Star Citizen – A Bounty-ful Harvest

Scopique May 5, 2021

For all of the time I have been playing in the Star Citizen Alpha, actual space-based dogfighting has been one of the top three activities I have been avoiding (the other two being general FPS and, of course, random PvP, when I…

Star Dynasties – You Haven’t Seen The Last of Me!

Scopique May 4, 2021

Back in mid March I wrote up my initial impressions of Star Dynasties, an Early access Grand Strategy game from Iceberg Interactive. I had hoped that this game would pan out to be right up my alley: a deep, immersive strategy game…

Guilded – Roles and Permissions

Scopique April 29, 2021

After my original post on the difficulties of switching from Discord to Guilded, I decided that in order to make an informed decision (i.e. to see if it was worth selling to my friends and neighbors) I decided that I needed to…

Evil Genius 2 – Evil Harder

Scopique April 1, 2021

I really like building games. Back when my wife and I were dating we would play Caesar III a lot, and still joke about some of those mechanics to this day (“Neighbors moving out, eh? Desirability must be low.”). I think it’s…

Guilded – Are We REALLY Doing This Again?

Scopique March 31, 2021

Scopique March 16, 2021

AdventureCo – The Continuing Mission

Scopique March 11, 2021

Last night AdventureCo met online and discussed our next move. It was agreed that we would continue with Star Trek Adventures for a few reasons. First, this group likes Star Trek as a property. Second, everyone has gotten the rules more or…

AdventureCo – SPF 10,000

Scopique March 4, 2021

Last week (actually, about three weeks ago), the Away Team had found themselves in a bit of a pickle: the windows in the command center were dangerously close to breaking and a decompression event was immanent. The team raced back to V’Tol’s…

Adventure Outliner – Registration

Scopique February 25, 2021

This is now an actual, “working” website. Working is in quotes because A) it’s not a complete website, and B) nothing really works except the link to HOME and the link to LOGIN. Everything else is basically static with the idea that…

The (Latest) Project, Revealed

Scopique February 23, 2021

Usually when I get to the point where I give into the desire to talk about a project I know for a fact that I’m dooming it to abandonment. This has been my M.O. for so long that I can set a…
