    RPG Vault has posted their fourth Temple of Elemental Evil Journal, this time with programmer Sean Craig. He talks about working at Troika Games and what it's like being a geek. Here's a clip:

    Which (finally!) brings us to Temple of Elemental Evil. I am a turn-based geek. I love games like Final Fantasy Tactics, X-Com, Fallout (of course), and Heroes of Might and Magic. I love plotting out the best actions for my units to take, I love tweaking my characters so that they work more effectively together, I love long and gruelling combats that I have to replay two or three times to beat. In the words of Hannibal from the A-Team (and I'm dating myself here but I'm self-effacing, so I don't care), I love it when a plan comes together. I need total control over my characters' actions. (This is called 'obsessive' by therapist types). It bothers me when my wizard starts casting a fireball and misses his target because the target moved between the time he started casting and the time he actually throws the fireball. Or worse, he ends up hitting my barbarian because he ran into battle.
