Intro

Who am I?

I am Vagabond, casual gamer

What do I write about:

Mainly three topics:

• The MMO games I play
• Ideas, thoughts about how MMOs could be improved
• Game development pet projects

All posts will be tagged accordingly.

What is my personal background?

At the moment I am 36 years old, father of three, occupied as an Analyst.

What is my professional background?

I was working as a software developer for more than 10 years. Now I only do development on my pet projects. I have read a few books about game design, following a lot of wannabe and actual game designers, and I am literally just a few days away from finishing and publishing my first game. I will write about that as well.

What games do I play?

At the moment only Lotro. 

I used to play a lot of different MMOs, including some well-, and some lesser known ones. So far the one I was attached the most was Vanguard. Also got myself involved in some open and closed public betas.

I plan to play Vanguard after it goes F2P. Until that time I will play Lotro, or possibly The Secret World. I also need to make up my mind about GW2.

Is this my first blog?
Nope, this is about the 6th, but this is the first one specifically about games and gaming.

What does the name of the blog mean?
It's a reference to an excellent book of Umberto Eco with the title of "Six Walks in the Fictional Woods". The book is helping to become a better reader or writer of stories. It provide an analysis about a lot of aspects of books and stories, and gives the reader an insight that helps understanding a book better. My ultimate goal is to provide a similar experience for gamers and game developers about games.
