From VOLTEX And ONAKU REMEMBER -342 AE: Silodas, Aodhiim- -VOLTEX AODH- Voltex Aodh (commonly known as ‘Tex’ to those who knew him), a Loremaster in Training for the Knights of Ekimu (and Aodhiim, as the higher ups of the nation were always keen to remind him), stepped into his home on the outskirts of the city of Silodas one day late in the year 341 AE to the smell of coffee. He immediately froze in the open doorway, and began reaching for the sword at his side. He wasn’t ver
As promised to a few of you, here is the official announcement of ... Due to a set of unfortunate circumstances (that may have perhaps been unavoidable, since we are online), I was hired on to keep on giving after BZPower's Secret Santa (protip: we should make sure the staff turn it into an annual thing). Of course, there was only one route to take - write an epic! This particular epic will star a select cast of characters created in part by certain BZPower members. Gathered togethe
Followup post activate! Here are the ten video games that I am most looking forward to in 2014. I expect I shall probably end up playing roughly three of them. Top 10 Anticipated Games 1. Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U (3DS/WiiU) - If you came into this thinking I was going to pick some other stupid game that doesn't matter as my most anticipated game of 2014, you were sorely mistaken. I mean, I have an ENTIRE SERIES OF ENTRIES dedicated to this thing. I'm pretty hyped yo. 2. Tit
from VOLTEX and ONAKU SHADOW -327 AE: The Western Wall- -AHKMOU UMRIK- - He awoke to the sound of silence. It was a silence of an absolute nature, blanketing everything around him with an alien sense of quiet and calm that did not belong. The ground around him was covered with blood and muck, littered with the fallen corpses of Protectors. A hundred yards away, he could just barely make out the crumbling ruins of what had been the Western Wall, a formerly impenetrable defence that h
I had to battle the third boss in Bravely Default with three out of the four party members poisoned for the entire battle (Ringabel was the exception; one of his abilities allows me to remove any status effects on him). I was also stupidly low on health potions, and I couldn't use healing magic because it wasn't helping enough (and I needed the magic to deal big damage to the boss anyways). That was more than a little nerve-wracking. That said, I still beat him with all four characters alive o
Check the map of Okoto right here. Capital: Daggerfall “As Strong as Stone” Located at the junction between what used to be the old territories belonging to House Maran, House Archean, and House Galum, Daggerfall is a melting pot of different Stone house cultures. After ascending to the throne following the War of Five Kings, King Vinheim Maran turned Daggerfall into the greatest political arena on Okoto, and the city’s military strength is second only to Grave’s Peak in the north and Silodas
Just the other day I shared a bunch of cover pieces from some of the Bionicle campaigns I run on Discord, and just last night SPECTER L completed their latest piece for my horror campaign, Glass!
I commissioned it for "Book I", A Midnight Requiem, and as I like to do with everything in Glass, I hid away various secrets of my own within the cover. Many have been uncovered by the players on the Discord already, but a few still remain hidden
This cover features @Jakura Nuva's character i
Kirby Profile Species: Kirby Series: Kirby First Appearance: Kirby's Dream Land (Gameboy, 1992) Party: 1st Favourite Appearance: Kirby's Return to Dreamland (Wii, 2011) Known For: Eating food, inhaling enemies, copying abilities, saving Dream Land, beating King Dedede, beating Metaknight, turning to yarn Excitement Factor: 8/10 - Although I'm not as excited to see Kirby in the new game as I am with other characters, that's more because it was obvious back in 2011 when the game was first
Click the banner to join BZPGOT Season 3! Despite the title, I've done my best to make sure that this season can stand on its own, so new players don't necessarily need to be worrying about being up to date will the prior two games or their associated lore. Any returning plot points will be re-introduced as though they were new, although this season will mainly center around new conflicts and characters. I hope you'll come and join! (And feel free to PM me if you have any questions!)
In the original game, the design of Samus was based off of her Varia suit in Super Metroid. The original Super Smash Bros. was also the first and only time Samus appeared on the N64, as well as her first appearance in 3D. She was also arguably the only female character in the game (depending on the gender you give to Pikachu and Jigglypuff... and Yoshi....) Of note: her blaster in the artwork on the left is gray, rather than green. In Melee the suit Samus wore once again resembled the Varia s

Smash Files 13 – Unique Movesets Pit stop: thank you to Burnmad for helping me with this post a bit. During interviews relating to the upcoming Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, Sakurai has mentioned only wanting to include new characters if they can bring unique movesets and play styles with them (Mega Man was one character he highlighted for this). While it did not make me think much at the time, a recent conversation I had with Burnmad about the upcoming game did, and I decided I’d

I'm off to Florida today, and you're very welcome for the extended warning! I will be doing my best to get online each night, so you Mafia folk need not worry, and I will be writing up a series of journals with regards to my experiences at Universal, Legoland (pick a brick at last finally yesh), some chocolate factory, and anything else in Orlando. Now I must teleport away and begin my adventures! WORP WORP WORP WORP WORP
As you all know, DLC (DownLoadable Content) has become quite common in video games. The concept is that, after releasing a video game, developers can continue to create content for their game (such as new levels, new characters, new items, and new stories, among other things) post-release, and then release this extra content to be added onto the original game. The unfortunate bit is that many companies for a long time now have been using DLC as an excuse to milk every possible cent that they can
The Empire has fallen. The Church reigns supreme. Ragnarok approaches.
The Black Eagles face greater odds than any protagonists before them. As they are hunted across the world, they must search for one last miracle to save the day...
...or there will be no more tomorrows.
