Thresholder, Perry Talks to His Sister

I'm doing some of the developmental editing work on Thresholer: vol 1 right now, and some of that includes writing new scenes that help flesh out who Perry is. I've written a few now, and this is one that is probably NOT going to be in the rewrite of the first volume, mostly because it's too long and is kind of not ... what Thresholder is about. Plus I don't think it hits the right beats for Perry.

However, with tha...

Game Review: Underhill

Note: This is cross-posted from my blog, which updates rarely and only when I feel like it, rather than having some kind of contentified schedule. This review contains no screenshots, because this game doesn’t actually exist.

The dwarves are mining, the bugbears are lumbering through the mushroom farms, the imps are scurrying to and fro, and all the traps at the entrance to the dungeon are armed and ready. From a bird’s eye view, it seems as though everything in the underhi...
