Sitting On A Rock At the Bay

Watchin’ the ships roll in … Unlike Otis Redding, this is not the Frisco Bay, and has nothing whatsoever to do with leaving Georgia. Nonetheless, a powerful picture.   Sitting on a rock of the bay, wastin’ time I like how perfect the various siege engines look, each one flawlessly curved and identical, clearly a flock of copy/paste origins, but impressive in spite of their cookie cutterness.…

Postcard from Not a Rainbow

That is not a rainbow. If I remember correctly, it is some kind of energy barrier, there to prevent one from jumping ahead of the quest and bypassing some of the bad guys. The Prisoner is like that. Very three-dimensional, lots of opportunities where clever players could find faster and more efficient ways through. Not so much any more, the developers have plugged them all up, at least so far as…

A Girl and Her Dog

Another image that I cannot clearly recall taking but find to be extraordinary nonetheless. I think this one is from Temple of the Deathwyrm, and I think that with maybe a 60% confidence level. Maybe. Right or wrong, I like the colors, and the light vs dark, but most of all I like the plucky-looking girl standing ready, faithful companion AdventureDog by her side, prepared to do whatever is…

Postcard from the Palace of Stone (I Think?)

So, there’s this screenshot. This one. It is a very cool screenshot, totally wallpaper-worthy (click it to see for yourself), I like it. Something about the warlock aura sigil inter-playing with the densely jagged stalagmites, it just works. I am certain that I like it. I am not so certain that I know where it was taken. I am thinking … Palace of Stone? That seems right, but … really I am not…

Postcard from the Treasure Chamber

Remember Epic Chests? They’re still out there you know, still waiting to open with that epic heavenly choir sound and burst of epic purpleness.   Click to see the Epic Chest in Epic size!   The loot inside? No longer very epic. But wow the chests sure are! When opened to full size, the image makes for a striking wallpaper, quite good actually, even though I normally prefer wallpapers that are…

Dancin’ On the Ceilin’

Sometimes, it seems, my disco balls exceed the bounds of pure energy and realize as matter. That is a hard sentence, let me take another shot at it. Last night, while running Let Sleeping Dust Lie, I cast Otto’s Sphere of Dancing in a spot where monsters normally drop from the ceiling. Except last night instead of dropping, they were stopped cold by the outer limits of my sphere, dancing on the…

Postcard From Gnome Night

It looks like we’re about to break into a choreographed dance routine. Or maybe a Dance Knife Fight, like a batch of extra-short Sharks from West Side Story. * But really, it’s Gnome Night and we’re fully en-Gnomed, ready for adventure on a smaller scale. Unlike Friday’s post card, this one is totally wallpaper-able, in a nearly-perfect 2:1 aspect ratio. Click to see it in full size, if you think…
