Computer Games: My Top Ten

Work continues on my major projects but there's nothing to show just yet, so today I thought I'd share a few of my favorite computer games. Computer games were my introduction to gaming; while I have certainly branched out since my early days playing Age of Empires and Starcraft, they remain my go-to when I can't find a group for tabletop games. While I tend to default towards strategy and role-playing games, the designer in me will check out anything with innovative mechanics or an interesting setting. Replay value is also an important factor for me, as it means you can enjoy the best games for longer.

CAV 2.M Preview

As I mentioned previously, I have been working on an unofficial update to the CAV 2 rules which builds on the unfinished version 1.3 errata. The project is called CAV 2.M for Mil-Net, as they are the original source of the changes and have been invaluable through the development process. The intention of CAV 2.M is to address a number of known weaknesses in the CAV 2 ruleset, to diversify the different weapon types, and to provide an improved rulebook that is easy to reference. I'm hard at work tweaking the new data cards and abilities, but wanted to offer a quick preview of what's to come.
