So in keeping with the idea of enjoying games that don’t cost you a single cent to play… Check out Aethora. It’s a free-to-play, tactical/strategy, browser based RPG.
You make your own party of adventurers and set out on missions. If you’ve played Final Fantasy before, you’ll get the idea. It’s more involved than the old Final Fantasy games I remember on my ancient Nintendo (and GameBoy), but it’s not hard to get into.
The game can be played on your own time. Since it’s turn-based, you can get up and walk away at any time. If you close your browser and come back later, it’s right as you left it. Pretty cool right? So why are you still reading this? Go play.

So I wouldn’t exactly classify video games as “toys”, but I suppose in general they are. They’re an escapist device to help you forget about the everyday worries and go on some grand adventures. So although this site is primarily about the plastic/metal/etc type of toys, occasionally we’ll talk about games. In particular, free games!
I think I’m going to try a free online game. This will be where I document my progress (or the lack there of). Going to give a try and see if I can get Planeshift up and running. It runs on Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows PC’s. From the website:
“PlaneShift is a Role Playing Game immersed into a 3D virtual fantasy world which is FULLY FREE to play. Fully free means you will have no surprises of premium content which will limit your gameplay or unbalance the game. There are no limitations in skills, ranks, abilities, items you can gain with your free account. There are no time limits or additional constraints. Other similar games just advertize the “free” concept to sell you premium accounts. We don’t. Servers and bandwidth will be donated by sponsors.
At the present state of development, PlaneShift is not a complete game, but what we call a “tech demo”. With this definition we mean that the game is still under heavy development, so you may easily find bugs, glitches and missing features. We decided to open it to the public because we want to have your feedback on improving the game and because we have enjoyed seeing our progress being put into productive use from the beginning. Apart from this, the game is enjoyable and has hundreds of active players.”
Sounds pretty cool. Maybe we’ll meet up with our pixelated action figures and go on some adventures together eh?
