What I want to do:

I wanna play Planescape: Torment. I never got far. I got the gitzerai dude (I know nothing of Planescape and only the very bare minimums of DnD, so... I think it's "gitzerai") and finished the mage quests. Already met Pharod and he sent me off on a fetch quest that I started, but then got bored. Too many damn fetch quests. I am The Nameless One, fucking immortal dude with replacement body parts and scars all over me, I am not the local Fed Ex.

I also had the amazing talent of pissing off every damn thug in Sigil. Seriously. Every single one I walked past would start attacking me.  Maybe I should've pumped my Cha higher?  My Cha was pretty high!

But yeah, it was one of those games I put down and never picked up again.  Like FF9, in which I still need to do the massive overlevelling grind of the century since I was a nub and couldn't read "NO MAGIC ALLOWED HERE BIATCH" when Kuja said it.

Fantasy writing

Joe Abercrombie, a new author I really want to check out when I've got the time, on writing fantasy series and how self-contained each book should be.  Thought some of you might be interested in that.

And as a note to myself... He also makes a mention of Patrick Rothfuss' The Name of the Wind, which I also want to check out.

ETA: And here's a random website link that makes fun of book covers.
