Moral: nicotine is a harsh mistress.

I've got quite a few old fantasy (and some other genre) silents in my collection, some dating back even farther than that -- but that was a good find, Bes, thanks! That perspective camera trick is still used today in various ways, most famously in the Hobbit/Lord of the Rings films.
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!
