rpgs + linux experimentation blog

[timong]

I've created another "personal" blog describing my Linux gaming experience related to Role Playing Games (which genre I mostly play). I will update it with the new ones when I'm playing them.

http://linuxrpgs.blogspot.com/

First I wrote about Icewind Dale and NWN2.

"This is a blog to share my experience of playing different role playing games for PC (well, other architectures may happen) under the famous Linux operating system.

For all of my computer activity which spans now over some years and decades I've been playing RPGs many times starting with old C64 ones till reaching the PC era of DOS games and later the Windows ones. Now as time passed I've become a notorious Linux user too and prefer to use it as my main operating system. Yet I'm trying to play my favorite newer or older games without switching to the Windows OS. This may or may not succeed at times. I choose to write about the success stories here, I hope there'll be some to share... ;-)

This way I hope to help those Linux users who are RPG fans with pointing out the possible alternative games and showing how I cope with them."

Have you checked out Eschalon: Book I (http://basiliskgames.com/book1.htm) from Basilisk, timong?

It's an excellent new game that harks back to some of the classic RPGs - and there's a Linux version - check it out! ;)

great initiative, since appdb on wine is a bit restrective and... ugly.

You should have nevertheless a link to each games page in appdb, since that's where the latest compability reports are done. Also you should make the steps needed for each games in a bullet list and in a seperate box.

If you need help with filling the blog or reports, I could aid.

The blog has been updated and KhaaL has added a new post too about NWN1 Premium modules. Great news is that it's not a single person blog anymore. :-) Check the new things there...
