Following from the other Eve Online cultural clothing runs, one aspect of Khanid culture that only had a mention and never any visual presence were the Cyberknights, a social class of technologically modified fighters. Again, I used a lot of references from the long-lost original character creator for the costume accents (particularly the hair and … Continue reading Costume concept: Khanid Cyberknight armor (Eve Online)

Costume concept: Intaki (Eve Online)
I was strongly disappointed in the disappearance of cultural clothing from Eve Online's character creator. These are expansions of designs that were previously only visible down to mid-chest level in the original character creator, with some influence from the game's concept art.

The first time I tried an RPG, it was an AD&D session in the school lunchroom after-hours with a couple friends who were badly Mary Sue-prone. It didn't go well, and it wasn't fun for me; I had only the vaguest notion what sort of imaginary world I was dealing with, and what sort of … Continue reading Multiple-Personality Gamer
Farmer Wars
This article appeared in my feed on Thursday, and it reminded me of... how damn much fun I had killing ISK farmers in my early days in EVE Online. Let me spin you a tale of a rookie PVPer, a mercenary corporation returning to piracy, and the weirdest extortion racket in lowsec. (Forewarning: there's going to … Continue reading Farmer Wars
Costume concept: Khanid (Eve Online)
As a roleplayer, I was rather disappointed in the new clothing options that were provided in EVE Online's new character creation system; we had expected something like this or this with the end result looking like this, and instead got this, which my fellow roleplayers began referring to as "SpaceGAP" due to its disappointingly generic and … Continue reading Costume concept: Khanid (Eve Online)

The God-Makers
(Originally posted on Sweet Little Bad Girl) Lu Tien Hannarad fastened his coverall securely at the shoulder and paused to check in the mirror. Pale blue and spotless, it gave the young man a distinguished look, or so he felt. He hoped. He rubbed his hands together in an attempt to stop their trembling. … Continue reading The God-Makers
Dust
(Originally posted on Sweet Little Bad Girl, after DUST514 was announced in 2009. Obviously, the released game bears little resemblance to this footslogger's story, but very little was known about it at the time.) What sort of person do you have to be, to turn your back on everything you ever knew? The tip … Continue reading Dust

Command and Control
(Originally posted on SweetLilBadGirl on 2010.09.06) I feel as if I've been here forever, down in the dirt with the rest of the dogs. That's what it feels like; day after day of the same damn shit, the same routine. Maybe it happens in the middle of the night, or maybe it's full daylight. Maybe it's … Continue reading Command and Control
