Skara Brae

January 28, 2009 / One of the earliest RPG video games is my all-time favourite.

I used to make maps like this one:

One of Rob Huston’s Bard’s Tale maps

Damn, that was a great game.

    I still remember the first night Elena and I met you: long hair and flannel, man. IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.

    Good job I wasn’t carrying my polyhedral dice, too.

    You said it, man. Roaming the catacombs of Skara Brae with only a keyboard, a pen and some graph paper was one of life’s finer pleasures.
