Eador: Masters of the Broken World is near-perfect

Posted on June 4, 2013 by SynCaine

Eador: Genesis took me by surprise, and I’ve now had a few weeks with its upgraded version, Eador: Masters of the Broken World. Darkfall being released has limited my time of course, but even so Eador is so good it … Continue reading →

Gaming moving in the right direction (mine)

DF:UW – In the halls of old Aradoth

Posted on May 28, 2013 by SynCaine

Darkfall: Unholy Wars takes place (I believe) 200 years after the events of Darkfall. Aventurine hasn’t done a lot with the lore, but in-game some areas reflect this more than others. The location of today’s story, the city of Aradoth, … Continue reading →

Last night there were multiple large sieges not involving OTG, and since our clan had no formal plans to attend, I made my way down to the area to do some good old scroaching. For non-Darkfall players, scroaching is basically … Continue reading →
