Negative Karma

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
In the Amber Diceless Role Playing Game, if you spend more points than you were given, you are in the red. Your game hooks are negative ones.

When your Karma is negative, everyone's out to get you (aren't they anyways?). You misperceive things. You have bounties on your head. Your injuries are more serious than you realize. But, you get more cool powers, allies, toys, and attributes. It kinda rounds out.

Playing video games and ignoring your family will earn you serious Negative Karma.

CloisterMagic Is the name of my first Dwarf Fortress. I just took a bunch of screens with the very cool 3dwarf utility. I suppose I should take some ascii screens at some point as well.

Dwarf Fortress

Dwarf Fortress was introduced to me by Mr. Fortress Crack Master.

To the Apple ][ and linux lover in me, Dwarf Fortress is like The Sims meets Lord of the Rings (just the dwarves). So, I'm pretty much hooked. It took me right off of Team Fortress 2.

The funniest part, is that if I were playing TF2, I think Cpu would understand and consent every so often. But Dwarf Fortress keeps me at the computer late and has so little polish, I think it's earning me negative karma.
