It seems that the Everquest games are still chugging along after 9 years of activity. Recently the devolopers of these two (love 'em or hate 'em) venerable games announced that Everquest and Everquest II would be getting two brand new expansions.

Everquest, now in it's Ninth year, is releasing its Sixteenth expansion: "Underfoot", due out November '09.

I just received my review copy of this game. As soon as I wrest it away from my boyfriend, I'll be writing a review for RPG Gateway. Looks great so far.

Arcane Power focuses on the arcane heroes: characters who wield spells. The supplement includes new builds for wizard, warlock, sorcerer, bard, and swordmage classes. There are new spells and paths for character to follow such as Cosmic and Storm Magic for Sorcerers, a new pact for warlocks and the new paragon of Arcane Hunter as examples.

Makes me mad,makes me sad....

All those "Reasons" that you had...

For the dreams now gone bad

The lies you told you vicious cad!

Stick A fork in me- yes I'm done...

And I don't care if you say you've won!

Truth to tell I've been through HELL!

Worked soooo hard to be well!

So goodbye to you my deceitful one...

Stick A fork in me because...........I'M DONE!!!

NaNoWriMo or National Novel Writing Month began yesterday but it's not too late to get in on the action. In case you've missed the posts from Eisel and me in the past, NaNo is where people all over the world attempt to write a 50K word novel in 30 days (aka November.) It's fun, crazy, leads to lots of dirty dishes in the sink and wearing the same pair of jeans until they can walk and talk but it's a creative whirlwind and so much fun!

If you've ever been to E3 or any of the large industry game cons -- or read about them after the fact you no doubt know about "booth babes." Now I suppose I can't really complain too much. After all, games of all varieties and genres are filled with mostly naked, super shapely, a$$-kicking, hyper-armed, sleek babes who would kill as soon as kiss you. All this does rile my feminist side just a tad, but I realize its business and besides, it doesn't interfere with my game play so I'll forgive them and overlook the blatant sexism. My big problem is that these "booth babes" are frauds.
