So, if you’ve been around gaming circles in the last age, you may remember that whole Rogert Ebert “video games aren’t art” debate, in which Ebert says games don’t count as an art form, and gamers unite to call him an idiot. And while I generally respect Ebert, I think you can guess which side of that debate I come down on – I don’t think you get to look at almost any given narrative-driven game and believe it’s not art on some level, especially if we accept literature and movies as art forms.

It’s set in the AD&D Planescape setting, which may be summed up by “lots of weird shit happens. Also portals.” You wake up on a slab in the mortuary as the Nameless One.
