Origins Awards

| No Comments

The Origins awards were announced this weekend. They are the Academy awards for Games. You can check out the full list here. Unless you are really into Games probably the most interesting is Best RPG of the year and Best Boardgame of the year.

Best RPG went to Artesia, which is a fantasy game based off a comic. I'd never heard of it before now, but since it beat out Exalted, which is pretty cool, I may have to check it out.

Best Board game went to Parthenon: Rise of the Aegean . It sounds like playing Civ, if everyone played the Greeks. Oh well a Settlers of Catan game can't win every year.

Reading

I just finshed Codelia's Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold which is the first book of the Vorkosigan Saga.
Very good book, but the Sci-Fi bits are really secondary to the story.

Right now I'm reading The Lost Fleet Series by John Hemry/Jack Campbell It's sorta Honor Harrington but not really, though Honor Harrington even goes downhill in the later novels.
