At least they interest myself:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I read the entire oeuvre of Vaskikirjat, a Finnish indie fantasy publisher. Pretty interesting, I&#8217;ll be writing about it a bit later. Erkka Lepp\u00e4nen, the publisher, has good taste.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;ve been playing a lot of Fantasy Flight Games boardgames, which basically means large Ameritrash games with\u00a0 lots of pieces. Something useful should be said about those, I think.<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;m almost done with Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which is apparently considered one of the best adventure video game titles of its generation at the end of the &#8217;90s. I was mired in low quality computer gaming at the time, which perhaps explains why I&#8217;m just playing the game with determination now. Some interesting notes presumably forthcoming.<\/li>\n<li>As the readers of this blog know, I&#8217;ve been working with &#8220;adventure gaming&#8221; lately, which then became the topic of a lecture I gave at the aforementioned Tracon convention. Some folks have asked for written notes, which I&#8217;ll probably put up here at the blog at some point.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As for when I&#8217;m actually going to write about the above topics&#8230; well, we&#8217;ll see.
