For those looking to improve their game play experience, a companion is available to help guide them in strange new directions! Continue reading
It is known as the Lacuna Expanse, a vast stretch of stars and inhabitable planets rich with resources. Like settlers and explorers of old, we took to the stars and made our way to this new frontier. What we found was all that we had hoped and dreamed for, but we were not the first to arrive. It is unclear who we are fighting, but we know we are not alone or welcome in this small corner of the galaxy. Continue reading
The game of Hide-And-Seek is as old as the first day a single-celled organism tried to avoid another in a pool of primordial soup. Today, we play Hide-And-Seek in hopes of outwitting and out-thinking our opponent, not because we are avoiding capture and absorption, but the premise is the same. Be caught and lose, or stay one step ahead and win! In this game, you are going to attempt to do just that! Continue reading

Guess you’ll just keep firing weapons until someone with authority says “stop”. Continue reading

If you have more, please feel free to leave a comment and add to the list. I should also note that this list is going to make me unpopular with others. But let’s keep this in perspective and understand it is just my opinion. Continue reading

We chickens have lived a life of repression, existing only to be slaughtered. No more, I say! Today, chicken-kind takes control of its own destiny! We must work together to govern the coop so all may be safe and prosperous. While foxes remain a constant threat, let us not forget that we are also a threat to ourselves, as ambition is just as deadly as any dagger. We live for family and honor, but we die for the greater good of the coop! Continue reading
The mine was abandoned generations ago. Once, it was a source of great wealth and prosperity for the people of Keldorn, but that was then and the past has fallen into legend. The mines now belong to dark things that scurry in the shadows and avoid the light. None venture into the mine anymore except the very brave or the very stupid. Those who have returned do not speak of what they found. Continue reading
