Virtual Tabletop Gaming


Did you see it? This is a new future for rol gaming, you can do anything here. The creators of this are Roll20, who says;

''Roll20 brings pen and paper role playing games online the right way, by focusing on storytelling and camaraderie rather than gameplay mechanics.
While looking through the current virtual tabletop offerings, we were struck with a realization: we don’t want to turn our pen and paper gaming into a video game. Unfortunately, that’s what all of the current alternatives offer, with features centered around scripting, automatic damage calculation, and detailed stats tracking. This focus requires that the game master spend far too much time preparing the adventure, and it removes all of the magic from the GM and instead tries to put it in the hands of a computer.''

Im waiting for buy one.

Warhammer 40,000 : The Dark Eldar

Well, another race that I really like are the Dark Eldar. Actually, to be explicit, at first I disliked, but I had to use them, and I realized its true power, I understood that they were a very good race. Here I will tell you more about them.

The Dark Eldar are a Kindred of the Eldar, an ancient and advanced race of elf-like humanoids. Their armies usually have the advantages of speed, though they are often lacking in resilience. They are the thematic equivalent of the Warhammer Fantasy Dark Elves, and indeed Dark Elves in general. Because of their affinity for bloodlust and inflicting pain on their foes, they are generally considered an evil race and the miniatures reflect this, with spikes and jagged armour plates being common features.

The Dark Eldar are depicted by Games Workshop as a race that is sadistic in the extreme, revelling in piracy, enslavement and torture. Like all factions of the Eldar race, the Dark Eldar have access to technology that is extremely advanced by human standards. Players of Dark Eldar armies may select various anti-gravity skimmers such as Raiders and Ravagers (Troop transports and mobile weapons platforms, respectively) to launch high-speed attacks. They strike with little or no warning, using an inter-dimensional labyrinth known as the Webway to traverse the galaxy safely and far more quickly than most races are able to with their Warp jumps.

The Dark Eldar are unique amongst the Warhammer 40,000 factions in the sense that they do not occupy one or more planets, but rather one city, Commorragh. Commorragh has always been portrayed as a colossal city within the Webway, and in November 2010 it was described to be in actuality an amalgamation of several cities and realms located within the Webway, having started as a single port but since Vect's overthrow of the old houses had grown to amalgamate these new territories such as Shaa-dom and Iron Thorn.

Here you have some pics of them;

Warhammer 40,000 Dark Millennium No Longer an MMO

THQ has announced that Warhammer 40,000 Dark Millennium Online is no longer a massively multiplayer online game. Now simply called Warhammer 40,000: Dark Millennium, THQ says the game will instead become "an immersive single player and online multiplayer experience with robust digital content, and engaging community features."

During an earnings call last month, THQ CEO Brian Farrell noted that the company was "currently seeking a partner" for Dark Millennium Online. Today, Farrell said that "we have been actively looking for a business partner for the game as an MMO. However, based on changing market dynamics and the additional investment required to complete the game as an MMO, we believe the right direction for us is to shift the title."

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

The minds of New York Times bestselling author R.A. Salvatore, Spawn creator Todd McFarlane, and Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion lead designer Ken Rolston have combined to create Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, a new role-playing game set in a world worth saving. Build the character you've always wanted and continuously evolve it to your style of play with the revolutionary Destiny system. Choose your path and battle through a master-crafted universe featuring some of the most intense, responsive, and customizable RPG combat ever.


I wanted to talk about this specific game because it has everything you want, role, a unique character creation, thousands of weapons and armor. In fact, if you see, is very similar to Liniage II, but when he has a history and that personal touch that we all want, it becomes something else entirely. Here is the trailer;
