The Inn of the Four Winds

Welcome to the Inn of the Four Winds!

The Inn of the Four Winds is a "quest hub" of sorts in my home brew D&D campaign that I've been running since 1981. Owned and operated by Alaryn Nightshade (the shadowy figure in the logo), an elven swordsman and rogue of dubious reputation.  It seemed the right choice for my blog's feel and flavor.  So now that we have that out of the way, this blog will be about online gaming, not any one specific game (though the image is from WoW, it's only one of my games).  It will cover topics from my impressions of games that I am/have played, interesting things I've found in games, and of course plenty of other game related stuff. If you have a specific request on one of the games I'm currently playing, let me know and I will try to accommodate you.

So, that being said, I am sure you are asking who am I am why should you read my blog?  I know there are tons of bloggers and video bloggers out there (many more attractive in real life than myself) for you to choose from. Why me?  Well I've gamed since I was well, young.  As I said, my D&D campaign (still active btw) started in 1981and has seen many incarnations including online in PBP and IRC games that have been played by people on at least four continents.  I started video gaming with some silly game named "Pong" and then moved to more "hardcore games" like Space Invaders and Defender...

In the more modern era, my games include World or Warcraft (since launch, and still play), Star Wars: The Old Republic, The Secret World, Neverwinter (currently in open beta).  I have also played D&D Online and Star Trek Online, though do not do so currently.  I have a well rounded set of experience in several different types of MMOs, both subscription based and f2p.  I like to think that I bring a different perspective than the average gamer with a touch of wit from time to time.

I hope my style appeals to you!

Thanks for stopping by.
