caitriThe NYT has an interesting article on the new conundrum, are video games art?
~~
In other gaming news, the gaming group just finished a module of Shadowrun. We were pretty much in agreement that the world is cool, but the combat system blows as it takes. friggin'. forever. It also doesn't help that depending on initiative rolls, some players have more than one turn and it is quite possible for an unlucky player to have an hour go by with their character doing nothing. So it looks like we're going to shelve that game for the moment and try Ptolus, which is a city adventure in the d20 system. I'm excited cos I get to play a paladin who may be the "face of the group" since I rolled highest for charisma and diplomacy. Tee hee!
