Unsung Story - Post-Funding Update #40
An update for Unsung Story has been made available that talks about atory, development status and art update.
The portions of the Battle System our designers have been focusing on are the turn-management system and the action point system. By expanding on the traditional turn based tactics model through the use of a strategic turn-based timeline which can be manipulated by the different actions available for the characters, Unsung Story brings a new game play approach to the tactical RPG genre. Players are given greater control over when and how they can use their characters during battle, which opens up an entire new level of strategy formulation. This turn-management system is dependent on the action points needed in order to perform certain tasks during the character's turn. Players can choose to perform lesser actions during their turn to influence the activation order and chain the activations of specific units to change the turn order based on their plan.

The Witcher Adventure Game - Released on GOG
Not sure if it qualifies as an RPG, but The Witcher Adventure Game certainly has some RPG-elements and we have plenty of The Witcher fans here (including me), so posting news about its release on GOG is probably warranted. The price in its first week is $8.99, after which it will increase to $9.99.
The Witcher Adventure Game takes players on a journey across the world of the Witcher as they assume the roles of four distinct characters known from the books and video games: Geralt of Rivia, monster slayer; Triss Merigold, cunning sorceress; Yarpen Zigrin, dwarven warrior; and Dandelion, roguish bard. Each character has unique skills and multiple ways of overcoming obstacles - the choice is yours: do you fight your way to victory, call on your charm or try your hand at diplomacy? It's the true spirit of board gaming brought straight to your computer screen. Set in the mature and brutal world of The Witcher the game features 4 unique heroes with different skills and approaches to problem solving. With clear, simple rules and intuitive mechanics, tons of quest cards allow players to tell a new tale every time they play. Look adventure in the eye in a world with which you'll fall in love!

Dragon Age: Inquisition - sulky, uncommunicative companions investigated
I knew something was wrong! Multiple outlets are reporting that, if Inquisition seemed to have a lot less banter and charm than past Bioware games, that's a bug, not a change in tone.
That bit where Solas winds Sera up about her unexplored innate magical ability because she messed with his things? Mad bants - the kind some people are missing out on in Dragon Age: Inquisition because of a bug.
Some people have ploughed hours upon hours into the fantasy adventure only to be frustrated at the lack of chat between party members as they explore. There are pages of reports - on the EA Answers HQ support forum - of people only encountering a handful of occasions of banter in upwards of 10, 15, 20 hours of play, and longer.
BioWare has acknowledged the problem and is asking for 60+ hour game-saves, in which the player experienced the problem, for research purposes.
The causes aren't known but there's a workaround of sorts that has met some success.
Here's the partial workaround, courtesy of helpful user Maljester on the EA forums. Basically you mess with the audio settings until something resets. But it doesn't help in all areas -- Maljester reports that for him, Val Royeaux remains as bare of music and talk as ever.
Enchant_m3nt on the BSN Feedback thread had success with cycling/changing the audio settings to trigger banter and fix music/combat dialogue. I'd sadly had no luck with the mount/camp rest/teleport combo, and to my absolute astonishment - Houston, we have music and banter! (For those having trouble with the glitch, try the mount/dismount-rest, or trying the audio settings cycle to trigger banter/music.)
At first I ran around in the Hinterlands for awhile, trying out mount/rest. Dorian/Sera/Bull wouldn't talk, so I change from (Home Theatre - TV), get into combat, get combat noise, and 1min later, Dorian/Sera have a banter. Stumble into more combat with correct combat noise, 1 min later, get another banter between them. Run all the way to Redcliffe Village, Dorian makes an ambient comment (I have gotten ambient comments before, though), but then everyone stopped talking.
For those with the glitch, keep an ear out as you're playing for music and combat dialogue - if they're both working, there should be a higher probability you'll get banter to trigger, too.

Pillars of Eternity - Voiceovers and the First Complete Playthroughs
Joshua Sawyer has posted Update #87 on the development of Pillars of Eternity. The Obsidian team just finished a "play week" in which developers were given the chance to play the whole game from start to finish rather than sticking to the limited span of the backer beta. Sawyer writes:
We learned a lot from the play week. Most notably: Pillars of Eternity is a big game.
Only two of our developers managed to finish. One was a designer who developed a lot of the crit path and sprinted straight for the end. The other found an early ending and decided to wrap his story up there. About half of the developers had not yet made it to Defiance Bay (the first big city).
In his wonkish way, Sawyer also breaks down a list of gameplay tweaks, including:
- Combat was still too fast. We increased the Recovery of most creatures and tuned the global Recovery factor to slow down combat overall.
- Melee Engagement needs to be communicated more clearly. (Yes it does!)
- Standard casting and Recovery times were too long. The standard casting time was adjusted down to make casting feel less sluggish.
- Hiring adventurers, buying items, crafting, and enchanting were all much too expensive. These have all been made more affordable.
- All classes need a per encounter ability to use at 1st level. (Yes we do!)
They're also beginning to add voiced dialogue and character barks, as well as continuing to expand the variety of character portraits. A new Pale Elf and a couple from the Vailan Republic are below.

Numenera - Back on Kickstarter
Monte Cook's Numenera is back on Kickstarter, this time you can get yourself a deluxe boxed version of the game rules, which are behind Torment: Tides of Numenera.
The Kickstarter has already been funded, but there are still 16 days to go if you want to join the crowd and help reach more stretch goals.
At Monte Cook Games, we love Numenera and we love Numenera fans. We want to give them the best, coolest, most wonderful products that we can create.
Now that the game has been out well over a year, won many awards, and garnered an audience of enthusiastic fans, we'd like to do something special--but only if it's something that you'd like too. Our idea is to create a boxed set, like the RPG boxed sets of our youth, for this game. Only we'd love to make it absolutely beautiful and crammed full of all the coolest extra content we can come up with: character sheets, XP cards, and even a gorgeous cloth version of the poster map! With your help, we're going to make it a reality. If this sounds cool to you, pledge now: This is a short Kickstarter, and once it's over there is likely to never be another opportunity to get Numenera in a boxed edition!
(Already own Numenera? Don't worry--we've got some things that will interest you as well as those new to the game.)

Dragon Age: Inquisition - editorial mini round-up
Unsurprisingly, the internet has many opinions about the fancy new Dragon Age game. Here's a few of them!
Philip Hargreaves at The Sixth Axis actually likes the multiplayer mode.
Originally, Inquisition's online multiplayer started out as its own standalone game. During the development of Dragon Age II, BioWare used the Frostbite 3 engine to create codename "Blackfoot". Although never released, the co-op dungeon-crawling experiment lives on through the series' latest instalment.
Someone at Gamefront has already finished the game (beating all our Watchers? Dart?) and didn't love the ending.
Inquisition has a few parts that give off that "ran out of money" vibe, the most egregious of which is the final battle with [...]
And that's where I stopped reading, fearful of spoilers. Lastly, Erik Kain at Forbes fuels all our worst fears by declaring that Inquisition is a great game ... for an MMO.
For that matter, Inquisition actually feels like a very good MMO, with much better quests and stories than your average title, built around a wonderful, richly detailed world. [...]
Now, all of this has me wondering if BioWare isn't just warming up, if Dragon Age: Inquisition isn't just a test-bed for a Dragon Age Online. A blueprint of sorts, which we're all beta-testing.

Game Informer - 10 Signs That You May Be A Neurotic RPG Player
I'm probably guilty of at least a few of the 10 mentioned points and I have the feeling I'm not alone with that here on the Watch.
Every active quest in your journal nags at your soul
Most quests fall into two categories: The ones that you've completed, and the ones that stare at you, piteously, taunting you with your inability to complete them. ...
You will not rest until every inch of the map has been uncovered
Once I finally make it out of town, things don't get much better. Actually, they get worse. When I pull up my map, I look at it like a larger version of the town map. It's some kind of fractal nightmare. If there's a fog of war-style haze obscuring my vision, I'll methodically walk in a pattern like I'm mowing the lawn, in the event that I'd miss something. I rarely do. Ugh.
Actually, scratch that - I'm guilty of all the points. I guess it's time to create the RPGaholics Anonymous.

Blackguards 2 - German Release PR
Usually games are more expensive in Germany than in most other countries, but this time the Germans get special treatment. Daedalic will relase two retail editions of Blackguards 2 in January. The standard edition only costs 19.99€, the premium edition 29.99€. The latter includes a DRM-free game on DVD, soundtrack and other digital bonus content, and a Steam key.
Here is the PR:
Blackguards 2 in zwei Editionen im deutschen Handel – "Box günstiger als digital"
Hamburg/München, 26. November 2014 – Daedalic Entertainment und EuroVideo Medien bringen Blackguards 2, den Nachfolger zum SRPG-Erfolg im Universum von Das Schwarze Auge, am 20. Januar 2015 in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz in zwei verschiedenen Editionen in den Handel.
Zum unverbindlichen Verkaufspreis von 19,99 € bieten Daedalic und EuroVideo eine Standard-Edition an, die das Spiel und ein Handbuch enthält. Für 29,99 € (UVP) erhalten Spieler eine Premium Edition, die neben der DRM-freien Fassung des Spiels auf DVD zusätzlich eine zweite, über einen Steam-Key aktivierbare Version, eine Soundtrack-CD, einen Strategie-Guide und ein Poster enthält.
Weiterhin wird Blackguards 2 über Steam, GOG und weitere digitale Download-Portale zum Preis von 29,99 € erhältlich sein.
"EuroVideo und wir bieten mit der Standard-Edition von Blackguards 2 eine Box-Version an, die deutlich günstiger erhältlich ist als die weltweit veröffentlichte Digitalfassung. Käufer der für 29,99 € erhältlichen Premium-Editionen erhalten natürlich auch digital entsprechende Zusatzinhalte, die ihr Geld wert sind. Mit der Standard-Edition wollen wir aber ausdrücklich den Handel unterstützen und einen Anreiz dafür schaffen, dieses Spiel als physische Kopie im Laden zu erwerben", erklärt Carsten Fichtelmann, Gründer und CEO von Daedalic Entertainment.
"Wir hoffen, dass der Handel von diesem Angebot regen Gebrauch macht. Wir haben uns bewusst dazu entschieden, nur die Box-Version in zwei Editionen anzubieten, so dass der Handel Blackguards 2 zu einem starken Preis anbieten kann, aber auch die attraktive Premium-Edition im Sortiment hat, die die gleichen Inhalte bietet wie die zum gleichen Preis bei verschiedenen Online-Portalen erhältliche Download-Fassung", ergänzt Steffen Hippe, Sales Director von EuroVideo Medien.
Mit Blackguards 2 veröffentlicht Daedalic Entertainment Anfang 2015 den Nachfolger zum erfolgreichen SRPG im Universum von Das Schwarze Auge: Wieder entführt der Mix aus Rollenspiel und rundenbasierter Strategie in den düsteren Süden Aventuriens. Gut drei Jahre nach den Ereignissen im ersten Blackguards-Spiel hat der Sklavenhändler Marwan die Macht über Südaventurien an sich gerissen und regiert die Region mit eiserner Hand. Den Blackguards ist Marwan als Betreiber der "Neun Horden"-Arena in nicht wirklich bester Erinnerung geblieben – kein Wunder, dass die Schurken trotz ihrer kriminellen Vergangenheit nun wieder als erste Wahl gelten, wenn es darum geht, Marwan zu stürzen und sein Terrorregime zu beenden. Freiwillig mischen sie sich allerdings nicht in die aventurische Politik ein, dafür hat sich in ihrem Leben in den letzten Jahren zu viel verändert: Zwerg Naurim schwelgt in unermesslichem Reichtum und ausufernden Feiern, so dass es kaum einen Anreiz für ihn gibt, wieder in Abenteuern und Kämpfen Kopf und Kragen zu riskieren. Zauberer Zurbaran hingegen ist zurück in Gefangenschaft und muss sich als Sklave verdingen. Und der ehemalige Gladiator Takate hat aus all seinen vorherigen Abenteuern nichts Gutes gelernt und betreibt nun seine ganz eigene Arena, in der er sich am liebsten an der ganzen Menschheit für all das rächen will, was ihm angetan wurde. Es bedarf schon einer ganz besonderen Person wie der neuen zentralen Heldin Cassia, um die Blackguards noch einmal zusammenzutrommeln…
In rundenbasierten Kämpfen treten die Spieler von Blackguards 2 gegen Marwan und seine Armeen an – unter anderem erwarten sie dabei übernatürliche Kreaturen – Zwischenwesen, die halb Tier, halb Dämonen sind, erschaffen von Chimärologen im Auftrage Marwans. Wie auch schon im ersten Spiel bieten die Kämpfe in Blackguards 2 viele optionale Elemente – etwa interaktive Gegenstände, die sowohl Spieler als auch Gegner zu ihrem Vorteil einsetzen können, sowie zusätzliche oder alternative Questziele, die jeden Kampf zu einem einzigartigen Erlebnis machen.
Als Rollenspiel wartet Blackguards 2 nicht nur mit einem non-linearen Spielverlauf auf, in dem die Städte und Gebiete Südaventuriens erobert oder auch vor Marwan verteidigt werden müssen, sondern auch mit vielen Nebenquesten, die zusätzliche Spannung versprechen.
Zusätzliche Unterstützung erhalten die Spieler in Blackguards 2 von Söldner-Anführer Faramud und seinen Truppen: Künftig können seine Mannen in Kämpfen und darüber hinaus unterstützen – solange sie denn entsprechend entlohnt werden. Auch außerhalb des Kampfes bieten die Söldnertruppen wertvolle Dienste an – dann und wann erlauben sie etwa das "Verhör" von Gefangenen, um an wichtige taktische Informationen für bevorstehende Schlachten zu gelangen. Spieler können sich so etwa Überraschungsangriffe oder zusätzliche Belohnungen freischalten.
Das Rollenspielregelwerk, das Blackguards 2 zugrunde liegt, wurde zudem an die Wünsche der Blackguards-Community angepasst: Viele Bereiche wie etwa Regelentscheidungen oder die Charakterentwicklung während des Spiels wurden zugänglicher und verständlicher gestaltet, ohne jedoch die DSA-Wurzeln aufzugeben.
Größere, komplexere Kampfkarten, viele neue Questen, Gegner, Waffen und Ausrüstungsgegenstände und vieles mehr erwarten die Spieler in Blackguards 2. Die Veröffentlichung für PC und Mac erfolgt Ende Januar 2015.
So this time the retail version is cheaper than DL.

Blackguards 2 - Official Release PR
Daedalic isued a PR confirming the already circulating release for Blackguards 2, adding some details. Here's the whole thing minus the company blurp:
Blackguards 2 release date revealed
Daedalic Entertainment announced that on January 20th 2015 gamers will be able to jump into even more challenging and strategic RPG battles as Blackguards 2 will be released worldwide for PC and Mac.
Listening to Blackguards fans' feedback throughout the development process, Daedalic's team added desired features, unique enemies as well as enhanced and improved gameplay. In Blackguards 2, battles will be even more epic, with their handling being significantly tweaked to make them more straight-forward, but also more challenging. Players can test just how fun these new features are in Blackguards 2 from January 20th onwards.
For £22.99 Blackguards 2 will be available on Steam, GOG and other major online stores, featuring full English and German localization as well as subtitles in Spanish, French, Russian, Polish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese and Korean.
Blackguards 2 will again be based on the RPG rulebook of The Dark Eye and will stay an SRPG focussing on turn-based, strategic battles with a group of scoundrels as anti-heroes.

Crusader Kings II - 'Way of Life' Role-Playing DLC Announced
Paradox Development Studio has announced Way of Life, the next DLC for Crusader Kings II. Crusader Kings II is a medieval grand strategy game where you play different members of a dynasty over time. Although it shares much in common with fellow Paradox developed grand strategy series Europa Universalis, Hearts of Iron, and Victoria, its period and individual-level focus gives it a bit more of a role-playing feel than its siblings. With this DLC specifically focusing on role-playing elements, I thought it may be of interest for the Watch.
Today we're announcing that we're in the midst of developing something new for Crusader Kings II, a project that will allow you to get even deeper into the role-playing aspects of the game. Way of Life, the next DLC for CK2, will let you become a better (or worse!) ruler and grant you more power over personal relationships than ever before.
Sure, it's nice to have someone cozy up to you and be your lover while you're sitting atop the throne, but what if you could choose who to seduce? Or, after getting into that relationship on the side, what if you discover that you just need some space and had a way to break it off? You know, without having your soon-to-be ex-lover assassinated. These things and much more, including hundreds of new events, are coming to Way of Life.

RPGWatch Feature - Heroes of a Broken Land Review
Forgottenlor takes the rol of demigod in the retro dungeon crawler Heroes of a Broken Land and penned down this review.
I chose a large-sized world (size four or six) and have played about 45 hours already, and am only beginning to come within sight of finishing. After so much gaming time, I've become increasingly aware of the limits of the game. I can forgive the painfully mediocre graphics, which have a hard time competing with Wizardry 6's 25 year old sprites. I can also forgive the repetitive and somewhat out-of-place sound track. For me that is part of playing an indie retro game. However, for a game of this scope, which theoretically offers endless play, I would have hoped for more content. For example, there are skeletons, ghosts, rats, bats, slimes, and elementals in the game. Sure there are more than 10 different kinds of slimes, all with different colours and powers, but even so, after 40 hours I'm getting kind of sick of slimes. Also dungeons are divided into caves, mazes, towers, and mines. Even though the floor plans are random, I'm also getting tired of seeing the same tile sets repeat themselves.

Grim Dawn - Grim Misadventures #59
This latest installment of development updates for Grim Dawn, features more information on the Kymon's Chosen faction.
Where the Order of Death's Vigil represents the pursuit of forbidden knowledge and the manipulation of life's essence, Kymon's Chosen stand vigil against abominations and the tampering of what they consider to be the domain of the gods. Their promise of a brighter future for Cairn gives people hope where they had none, and their numbers have swelled following the Grim Dawn.
Kymon's Chosen are followers of the enigmatic self-proclaimed prophet Thaidrus Kymon. Born to a great house of Erulan, Kymon grew up in the capital, witness to its many intrigues and scandals. Even as he was groomed by the members of his household to be the next great Kymon, Thaidrus was becoming disillusioned with the petty political rivalries and corruption around him. Much to the disappointment of his father, Thaidrus increasingly abandoned his political and martial training to immerse himself in books, devouring any writing on the pre-imperial histories and mythos that he could get his hands upon. He became fixated on myths from the dawn of humankind, when Empyrion the light-bringer was fabled to have ruled over the other gods, enforcing order in the world. Thaidrus became convinced the old myths were real and that only the return of Empyrion to the world could uplift humankind from their base existence. When his father took the extreme step of having the Kymon's vast library removed from the manor house and set ablaze, Thaidrus resolved to leave home and experience the vast world for himself.

Lords of Xulima - First Impressions from the CRPG Addict
The CRPG Addict, known for his chronological journey through CRPG history, has posted his first impressions of recent indie RPG Lords of Xulima:
Overall, I had a lot of fun in the 4 hours I was able to devote to Lords of Xulima. I'll take Sr. Arribas's compliments about my blog in the spirit that they were intended, but the true inspirations of Xulima are the classic RPGs that I've written about, and like Might & Magic X did with its franchise, Xulima does a great job paying homage to the past while offering plenty of 2014 innovations. I recommend it....

aside from this new game mode the expansion will feature a ton more enemies, bosses, new areas, endings and a new playable character as well as a slew of new unique items to play with…
However, for this expansion, the development team is asking for creative input from fans, especially regarding item ideas:
the biggest change for me when it comes to how im designing the expansion is this time im asking the vast and creative isaac community for ideas.
this week ill be asking for item ideas, i will be cherry picking the top 10 items from this list and implementing them into the expansion.. so be sure to make them good.

GamesIndustry.biz - Girls Making Games
Rachel Weber from gamesindustry.biz has penned an article in which she describes how 10 year old girls learn how to make video games. Here's how she begins her piece:
It's not standard practice for me to feel jealous of ten year olds, but hearing about Girls Make Games over the summer certainly made me feel something close to it. The scheme gives girls who love games the chance to actually make them, as well as meeting developers and like-minded peers.
Here's a quote on what this camp has meant to some of the girls:
Shabir tells me about another girl, a reluctant soccer player at a super sporty school. "She comes in, she's super shy, she's looking at the ground the whole time, does not make eye contact with anyone, not even her teammates. Over the course of three weeks, by week two, she had started talking. By week three she was raising her hand to answer and when she got the answer right she would do a little dance," says Shabir, her voice light with pride. "Her mom still emails us and she brings her to every event that we have here because it's impacted her personality so heavily. She's gotten better at soccer because she got better at making games. "
The industry seems to be encouraging this:
The industry itself has been supportive of the scheme, with Riot Games in LA, Bioware in Austin, Popcap in Seattle, and Double Fine all opening their doors so the girls can take field trips to real studios.

Bandai Namco has announced that Dark Souls II will be coming to the PS4 and XBox One as "Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin," and that new features and elements added for this release will be coming to other platforms in the form of a free patch. While the PS4 and XBox One releases will contain the Lost Crowns DLC released earlier this year, the DLC will not be part of the free upgrade for other platforms.
New features coming to all platforms:
- Additional NPCs added for an enhanced story experience.
- Parameter adjustments for improved game balance.
- Augmented item descriptions.
- Improved online matchmaking functionality.
New features for the PS4/XBox One/PCs:
- Additional upgrades to graphics, sound, performance.
- Increase in maximum online players in single session (6 total).
However, it is unclear if the graphical and online improvements will be coming to DX9 PCs, or if they are only for DX11 PCs. When asked, Bandai Namco suggested more information will be available soon. In any case, the graphical enhancements may allow the game's visuals to be more inline with pre-release expectations, which included more ambitious lighting effects.

Shroud of the Avatar has finally come to Steam Early Access, for those of you who can't wait to stride waist-deep into the treacherous Pre-Alpha sea. Thanks, Benetar.

Gina Lee - Hard in the Paint
Artist: Gina Lee
Producer: T-Nyce
Album: Hard in the Paint EP
Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 6 votes )
The days of the big man-oriented NBA are long gone. Now that guys like Shaq, Olajuwon, and David Robinson are out of the league, there are very few true NBA centers left. Gina Lee might want to get a tryout now, because the T-Dot songstress/emcee goes Hard in the Paint. Hell, if she wanted to, she could try out for a point guard spot, because the vocal delivery she showcases on her latest song release is quick, energetic and versatile. T-Nice gets the assist, cooking up a bouncing, clean beat that boosts both aspects of Lee's engaging sung-rapped style. This slam-dunk effort is the title track off Gina Lee's next EP, scheduled for release July 16.

Bronstein Park ban in effect as Manchester schools open
She was unaware of the edict, which became official Wednesday, the first day of school in the Queen City.
"What? Do you think a 55-year-old woman is going to be here smoking spice?" she asked.
"I don't know how it's going to stop that," she said. "If that is an unsafe product you get it out of the stores. It has nothing to do with the parks. I really think it's the wrong direction to go."
Annoyed by the ban and apparently a reporter's questions as well, Debbie walked off. She later was seen sitting along a retaining wall outside the Gov. Hugh Gallen Apartments further down on Hanover Street.
Bahkiia Lauddo, who came to the United States in 2003 from Sudan, said she spends her nights at the New Horizons shelter on Manchester Street. At 7 a.m., when it empties, she heads to nearby Bronstein Park to spend the day.
At that time in the morning, no one was lolling around or doing drugs in the park.
A little after 8 a.m., a police patrol car was seen heading east on Amherst Street along the north side of the park. Lauddo was still sitting in the same place on the bench, undisturbed, at 8:15 a.m.
A few teenagers stopped for a quick smoke before heading over to the school for the first day of classes. Talk consisted of messed up school schedules and the difficulty parallel parking an SUV between two compact cars near the high school.
But another junior, Jeremiah Hunter, 16, said just the opposite, that he frequently saw people in the park doing drugs during the school day.
"They were always smoking some type of drug or knocked out on heroin," he said.

Meet Natalie
From NattyDesigns
Can you tell us a little about your background before your children…
Originally I'm from the UK and moved to Sydney 8 years ago for work and haven't looked back, I love it over here. I used to work as a full time packaging designer but for the last 5 years I have been contracting and mainly working from home, I love the flexibility of working for myself but it can have its down sides too (paperwork, I hate).
All my packaging work is computer based and I missed being physically creative so I started making my cards again which also kept be busy during quiet times of contracting.
How did NattyDesigns come about and why?
NattyDesigns has been around for long time, after leaving university in 2001 I did some bar work while looking for my chosen career path, I missed being creative so I started the play around with cards, papers, jewellery making and pretty much anything hands on, I've always been creative/ artistic since childhood so it was a natural fit. I sold my cards back then in some local shops, friends, family and word of mouth.
Can you tell our readers a little about it and where you source your ideas from?
Where my ideas come from is a hard one to pin down really as they come from so many places, fashion, nature, materials, I love shopping for pretty things and have a collection nick-nacks, ribbon, buttons, papers & cards which I'll play around with until I'm happy with a design.
What is your most popular design ?
Wow that's a hard one as I have so many but my Christmas range is big at the moment, particularly my little cute reindeer's.
Where do you create and make all your work?
Our spare room is my little hub, I have my PC for my design work and a separate desk for all my creating, I have drawers, boxes & jars full of beautiful papers, cards, ribbons, buttons & nick-nacks.
How do you juggle working and a family?
Juggle is certainly he right word to use, I'm not going to say its easy far from it some days as you feel like you don't stop from getting up to going to bed, but watching your little one develop, learn and grow is priceless and worth all the hard work and sleepless nights.
I try to do most of my work while she is either napping or at night or weekends when my husband can look after her but I try make sure we make time for fun stuff altogether each night and weekends.
Do you think parenting is different from when you were raised? How?
Parenting has definitely changed since I was small, I think there is a lot more pressure on woman to return to work in fear that they will loose stature in their careers if they take too much time off with their children, even my sister who is 10 years older than me said "child care was never even a consideration" this was a main topic in my mothers group!
Dads play a much bigger role these days too which I think is great & important for both the child and mum, they are much more hands on well at least all the people I know.
Have your own self expectations changed since having children? How?
I think for me it has to be realizing that I can't do everything all of the time and being more realistic as to what I can fit in a day.
What is one thing you swore you would never do as a parent …. and now do?
hahaha this is a great question, do you want the list….
I swore I wouldn't give our child a dummy, well that lasted all of about a 2 weeks, my daughter was a comfort sucker not much fun when you're breastfeeding, she still has it now at 14 month for sleeping which we are slowly weening.
Can you walk us through a typical day for you…
My daughter wakes us generally 6-6:30am although sometimes that can be earlier, she always come into our bed for morning cuddles. Breakfast around 7am, Chloe plays in her cot while I shower quickly unless I have been lucky enough to sneak one in before the hubby leaves. Once we are both ready we often go out for a walk to the park/ run errands or play at home if the weathers wet, she's just starting to pay an interest in crayons and finger paints which is great fun.
Lunch is around 11:30am and then its time for her nap, this is when I get my time to create & do any design work, wash the dishes, do the washing and any other chores that need to be done. Once she has woken its play time, dinner for her is around 5pm we sometimes watch a few cartoons while we wait for daddy to come home and then 6:30 its bath, book, bottle and bed. My husband generally puts her to bed while I prepare/cook dinner then its upstairs for me around 8pm to sit down and do some more work.

November 2008 Cookbook of the Month: Your Suggestions Needed [Ends TODAY]
- MMRuth Oct 7, 2008 04:05 AM
Once again it's time for your suggestions for COTM! When you recommend a book, please try to mention if you've cooked from it or not, why you recommend it, etc. , I don't mind lots of chatter on books - in fact, I think it is good and helpful - but please use all CAPS for your actual suggestion.
PLEASE NOTE: In order to make it easier for participants to scan others' suggestions and for me to tabulate the results, I'd appreciate it if you would make your recommendations in the following format:
TITLE (in all caps), Author: Description of the book or reason you are recommending it (optional but preferred)
If you want to second or third a title that someone else has already mentioned, please repeat the title, typing it in capital letters. Just saying "I agree with Stewpot" may well get lost and your choice might not get counted. And the more often a particular title is mentioned, the greater the chance it will be among the finalists.
I'll leave this thread up until October 14th, and plan to do what I did last time, which is not to have a run-off vote, unless two books are hopelessly tied. My thought is to keep the voting period itself limited, so that posters will have more time to get the books. I'm looking forward to seeing your suggestions.
And, as always, thanks for participating.
P.S. I'm going to repeat my comment from last month:
"I want to make one observation, as posters think about their suggestions for November. It seems to me - and I've gone back and reviewed many of the COTM threads - that the most successful months have been those where we've ended up using books that some posters have used a lot and love, rather than those when we've tried a book that may sound interesting, but that posters who've made the initial recommendations for them haven't actually used (which I know I've done - no finger pointing here!). This isn't meant to impede posters from making recommendations, but just food for thought, so to speak. "

FISH WITHOUT A DOUBT by Rick Moonen
On yayadave's recommendation, I took this out of the library. I had barely cracked it open before I knew I just had to own it—and I already have three dedicated fish cookbooks on my shelves. I've only tried one recipe so far, a baked bluefish with a clams-oreganata topping, and it was excellent.
I know many of us will be into heavy-duty preparations for Thanksgiving in November, but I think fish would be a good respite. If people think it's too limiting, perhaps it could be paired with another single-subject book, such as soups or vegetables or even a get-a-head-start-on-Christmas baking, preserving, or gift-giving book.
re: JoanN
It's so funny you mention that book JoanN... on yayadave's recommendation I bought the book and have made one dish - a roast hallibut - which was terrific. Now you've given me something to think about. In another thread someone mentioned the New England Soup Company book and now that sits on a CB shelf as well.... perhaps the two?? Or, revisiting one of the past books?? Not nominating, just typing out loud.
re: LulusMom
I Love Fish Without A Doubt. It's so user friendly and the recipes seem very easy to make. I'm all for uncomplicating life! As for the soup book, it's seasonal and I've already marked off almost all the Autumn soups and some Winter ones as well. It seems to me the slow cooker could come into use here, too.
re: Gio
Oh, I'm all for Fish Without a Doubt, I just had a memory that when it was voted on a month or so ago, some felt that we should wait until it was more widely available. We eat a LOT of seafood in this house, and given the good reviews the book has gotten, I'm dying to get my hands on it.
re: LulusMom
It *is* fairly new; published in June of this year. But Amazon has copies at nearly half price and the Manhattan library system has 15 copies. I took it out of the library about a month ago, so I don't think it would be difficult for people to either borrow it or purchase it somewhat inexpensively.
re: Jane917
If you're suggesting these two books, they will be counted if you type the TITLES in CAPS....
re: The Dairy Queen
I got the Chez Panisse Cookbook out of the library, and liked it. This one isn't published here until the end of the month though.
re: The Dairy Queen
Another suggestion for THE ART OF SIMPLE FOOD.
I've only made a couple of recipes from it, but the pizza dough recipe is "the one" for me after trying countless variations. I love the Chez Panisse books, but this Waters book seems to be the most accessible and practical for me. The format is easy to use, and while the recipes aren't particularly new or innovative, they represent important "basics" that I believe every good cook should have in her/his repertoire. Given that the upcoming holidays are about excess and lots of cooking, I'd welcome the simplicity of this book in November.
THE MAPLE SYRUP COOKBOOK, by Ken Haedrich (Storey Publishing, 1989, 2001 - paperback, 138pp, $10.95) This little treasure has over 100 recipes, most of them particularly appropriate for the harvest and holiday seasons. Every recipe I've tried has become a standard favorite. Obviously, most are for breakfasts, sweets and baked goods, but there are soups like Sweet Potato-Bacon Bisque, wonderful Maple Balsamic Salad Dressing, pork and chicken recipes, and sides like Winter Squash Spoonbread.
Interspersed throughout are interesting details about the history and manufacture of maple syrup, how to choose the right grade of syrup for your purpose, etc.
I can't think of a better resource for cooks looking to find a new addition to their Thanksgiving and Holiday dinners.
KITCHEN DIARIES by Nigel Slater
I'm not sure how well known Nigel Slater is in the States, but he's something of a food god over here. He is often known simply as Nigel, for he is one of those mythical cooks who is known by their first name). He is the long-standing food columnist for a Sunday newspaper and writes like a dream. He is emphatically not a restaurant cook, but a home cook with a heart - and his recipes always work. They are wonderfully simple, without being boring, and a joy to read. I have several of his books, but this is the one which is most widely available in the States at the moment, being the most recent.
re: greedygirl
OOH! I have been wanting to buy that that book very badly....l second KITCHEN DIARIES!
re: poptart
I forgot to say - the focus of this book is very much seasonal cooking. It's basically a year in the sainted Nigel's kitchen.
re: greedygirl
I am in the midst of reading "Toast" and have his book "Real Food Fast". Saw "Kitchen Diaries" recently at Borders and now I am definitely going to go back to buy it.
re: greedygirl
How does his cooking vary from Hopkinson's?
re: MMRuth
Simpler and less cheffy, I'd say. I think Simon H is quite classical in his technique, while Nigel is much more relaxed. He says: "I have always felt that a recipe should be something to inspire, remind and lightly influence rather than a set of instructions to be followed, pedantically, to the letter."
re: MMRuth
I had read "Toast" and was charmed. I picked up "Kitchen Diaries" at the library yesterday and am charmed again. I've only read through a few months so far, but his recipes are very accessible, relying on great ingredients at their peak rather than those that are unusual or hard to find.
I haven't cooked from it yet, but in many ways it seems to me to be quite similar to Hopkinson in that the lists of ingredients are comparatively short and the preparations not at all complicated. Greedygirl's assessment that many are less "cheffy" seems spot on to me. And he uses significantly less offal than Hopkinson.
The US edition has been fully Americanized in terms of recipe ingredients, but not so in the text. I don't see this as a problem in terms of preparing a recipe, but I didn't, for example, recognize the name of a single kind of apple or many of the types of grapes he mentions.
re: greedygirl
Are Nigel's books generally available here in the U.S.? Does anyone know? I'd be happy to vote for him for COTM if I thought I could get "Kitchen Diaries," for example, at the library.
re: NYCkaren
Just checked. The Manhattan library system has 5 copies. I reserved one of them. Four to go. Hurry.
re: greedygirl
My local library is very convenient, but so teeny tiny they never have *anything*--especially recent (read: within the past five years) cookbooks. I've just gotten into the habit of reserving online anything that interests me the moment I read about it. And Nigel Slater was on my radar since my London-resident BF has referred to him before.
re: NYCkaren
They had 2 copies at a local Borders (Boston area).
How about some Latin American sabor? If you don't have at least one Hispanic in your extended family, statistics say you will soon:) Latin food lends itself to mass quantity preparation for big holidays too...
DAISY COOKS by Daisy Martinez. She has a lot of recipes online, they are delicious, and my PR aunties-in-law have given her versions of their memorized family recipes the thumbs up.
CAFE PASQUAL COOKBOOK by Katherine Kagal. Mmm, nothing better on a fall day some good green chile enchiladas. There are a few Cafe Pasqual books, so it could be a combo like this month.
re: yamalam
yamalam: When I first saw Daisy's program, I didn't like her cause she was too hyper. Then I watched a few more and fell in love with her and her wonderful food.
A NEW WAY TO COOK by Sally Schneider
600 recipes which span the globe. She promotes cooking healthier, but it's not a diet book - more on techniques to up the flavor. Winner of both IACP and James Beard Foundation Awards.
re: poptart
As MMRuth requested, please put the title in all caps if you want your suggestion to be seen/count. For general chit chat about a book, lower case is fine.
Rubee, I had never heard of A New Way to Cook before but my library does carry it. It also has Schneider's The Improvisational Cook (2006) which generally has good reviews on Amazon. Do you know much about it? I'll have to check it out!
re: Carb Lover
Not familiar with The Improvisational Cook, but thanks CL, will have to check it out.
I've had great success with recipes from A New Way to Cook. I just went through quickly (checking for the food-splattered pages) for some recipes I remember being winners:
Mushrooms with Sake and Lemon in Papillote
Baked Penne with Mushroom Ragu and Ricotta Salata
Corn Soup with Chiles, Lime and Cilantro Cream
Her Foolproof Turkey really is foolproof, and uses an Alice Waters brine. I love the section on marinades and rubs and, as I've mentioned on hummous threads on this board, I'm a fan of her technique of adding ground toasted sesame, coriander, and cumin seeds to my hummus - friends always ask for the recipe.
re: Rubee
Ooohh--thanks for the tips. I'm going to go home and tag those recipes. I will confess that I find the book a tad overwhelming/intimidating. I feel like I should start at the beginning, but that seems like the boring section. I don't know why I feel like I shouldn't just dive into the middle like I do with other cookbooks...
re: The Dairy Queen
No, I know exactly what you mean. I think it's because there are so many recipes, and there aren't a lot of pictures to get your attention.
re: The Dairy Queen
I've had this book for ages and have hardly used it as well. It's just so darn huge!
re: Carb Lover
That's funny. when I read Candy's post, I thought it was Fuschia as well. Then I looked at the title and realized it probably wasn't. then I wondered the same thing, are they relatives.
re: beetlebug
She's a food and travel writer, I found via Google. Born in Sydney Australia but currently living in London.
Here's her web site:
I read Candy's post early this morning and I had a major brain shut down over the last 3 words.
It took me this long to realize she does not like fish...... LOL
re: Carb Lover
I made the Tagine with Dried Figs and Apricots last week. Fab. I want to cook ,my way through the book.
Here's another vote for FISH WITHOUT A DOUBT! I've been cooking from it a bit for a few months, and have loved everything. Would ehjoy trading notes and stories with other hounds on the subject. And fish is such a good antidote to all the heavy foods that the holidays seem to bring with them every year. We always try to eat lokts of fish in anticipation of all the "stuff!"
re: ChefJune
OK, I will try again. I did not capitalize my first post, so my votes go to:
THE ART OF SIMPLE FOOD, Alice Waters
THE SPLENDID TABLE'S HOW TO EAT SUPPER, Kasper and Swift
I'd love to try a new cuisine. I've dabbled in South American via:
THE SOUTH AMERICAN TABLE: the flavor and soul of authentic home cooking from Patagonia to Rio de Janeiro, by Maria Baez Kijac. Kijac has been favorably compared to Diana Kennedy and Madhur Jaffrey. Recipes are accessible, and there are lots!
I keep meaning to dive into Marcus Samuelsson's THE SOUL OF A NEW CUISINE; A discovery of the foods and flavors of Africa.
re: NYchowcook
I like the idea of something new and different myself. I had recommended (sight unseen) the Samuelsson book last month. Have you looked at it? Does it seem interesting? I certainly like the idea of trying something completely different.
re: LulusMom
Yes, it's a beautiful book, and is very enticing. I bought it and tagged the chicken and peanut stew, and squid w/ tomato-corn soup. I'm also eyeing the butternut squash, peanut, clam and spinach stew (malata)
I find Samuelsson fascinating -- Ethiopian by birth, adopted and raised by Swedish parents, and chef of Scandinavian cuisine at Aquavit in NYC.
I'll cook from it in the next couple days (so I can avoid getting on Ruth's S*** list, recommending a cookbook w/o having used it!
re: NYchowcook
Ha - I know. I really wanted to suggest Ana Sortun's "Spice", but haven't cooked from it. In fact, I have a lot of books I haven't cooked from yet so MMRuth's new rule will at least motivate me to try a couple of recipes from them...
I'd love to a Marcus Samuelsson book at some point also; I've been wanting to buy his Aquavit book for some time.
re: Rubee
To clarify - it's not "a rule" by any means - I think the only rule we have is the all caps one (grin). Just (a) an observation on my part that those months tend to be more successful and (b) asking that those who have cooked from books that they recommend tell us a bit more about it, so that voters can be more informed.
re: MMRuth
MMR: I agree that this is a good observation and like to hear from folks who have a book and can give a description. Helpful.
re: NYchowcook
I'll second THE SOUTH AMERICAN TABLE by Kijac.
re: Chimayo Joe
THE SOUTH AMERICAN TABLE by Kijac
Cool, I already have that one. There is a whole chapter on ceviche:) I've tried two or three recipes and they've come out well. It's a very encyclopedic book - South America spans a lot of different cooking styles and cultures, but that might be perfect for COTM. No pictures though:(
re: yamalam
Could we do a South American Combo like with did with Vietnamese? I bought "ART OF SOUTH AMERICAN COOKING" by Felipe Rojas-lombar because Mark Bittman had it on his list of 50 cookbooks he didn't want to live without. At the time (about 10 years ago, I think) Bittman said it was the best, and more or less, only, such book out there. I checked it out from the library and was so charmed by it, that I bought a copy.
re: The Dairy Queen
I just checked my 2 local libraries and they both have the South American books.
Will check the rest of the books suggested here.
re: oakjoan
Both are pretty much unavailable in the UK. :-(
I enthusiastically agree with the suggestion of FISH WITHOUT A DOUBT by Rick Moonen and Roy Finamore. I did a review of it on TheCityCook.com in June and have single-handedly given a bunch of copies as gifts. It's great for both beginners and also anyone who's already skilled with cooking fish and shellfish.
I'm also a huge fan of the recently released FAT by Jennifer McLagan but maybe we can save that for next month!
re: thecitycook
I just checked on Amazon and found that Nigel Slater's Kitchen Diaries is sellng for $17.50, so I vote for KITCHEN DIARIES by Nigel Slater.

Originally written on Feelin' Kinda Blue | Last updated 11/18/14
Alfredo Silverio, who had a fantastic 2011 season, was selected by the Miami Marlins in Thursday's Rule 5 Draft. It was kind of surprising seeing as Silverio missed the entire 2012 season due to a nasty car accident that ultimately led to Tommy John surgery for the toolsy outfielder. Silverio, 25, was removed from the 40-man roster before re-signing to a minor-league deal with the Dodgers. His 2011 season got people talking and believing, so much so that Baseball America ranked him as the Dodgers' fourth-best prospect heading into 2011. I had him at No. 12 and had him slotted in the mid-20s for my upcoming Top 50 prospects. Silverio has to remain on the Marlins' roster all season, otherwise they have to send him back to the Dodgers. By selecting him, the Marlins pay the Dodgers $50,000. I know it sounds weird, but the Marlins are actually paying a baseball player to play ball. Novel concept. Not sure Silverio will last the season on the 25-man roster, bu...

Peter Schiff VLog 26 June 2009 :
the dollar is weak again today we had some statements coming out of China regarding some alternatives to the dollar as a reserve currency again talking about the IMF , this whole talk about new global reserve currency is misplaced I do not think it is going to happen says Peter Schiff...before the dollar was a reserve currency central banks hold gold as reserve , and the only reason why the dollar became a reserve currency it is because it was backed by gold and redeemable in gold , these reasons for adopting the dollar as reserve currency no more exist today , the world would go back to gold as reserve not simply look for another FIAT currency to replace the one that it already failed ( the dollar ) , also today on the Financial Time FT Alan Greenspan was warning about a substantial inflation to happen in the years ahead the same inflation that he himself has created !!! he thinks that inflation will kick in at around 2012 , Peter Schiff believes it will happen a lot sooner than that , the genie is already out and there is no way to get him back in ...and a lot of this is because Ben Bernanke is simply following the steps of his predecessor Alan Greenspan .Peter Schiff calls the Carbon trade bill voted by the House today a Disaster ...Peter Schiff then talks about his mentioning of David Faber's book on his last Vlog , he says david is a journalist who write about things that have happened while Peter is a forecaster an economiste who writes about things that are going to happen , Peter does not take out any merits from David he is not critisizing his book , Peter pointed out specifically to all those fans who went to the amazon website and tagged David book with one star before even reading the book . this is unpleasant and Peter totally disaprove this kind of behavioure , please anybody who put a one star review on David book on amazon , go back and take down that vote ...this is not fair ...read the book and judge it after reading it and if you do not like it say why you do not like it ...Peter Schiff critisisme is not against david faber for writting the book , but against the behavioure of his colleages at CNBC and their reaction about the book...they seem to give the credit to david faber for what peter Schiff was predicting for years in his book crash proof and in his emails and newsletters
