It’s hard to find time to play, but what have you been playing lately? Since restarting from a long break, I’ve mostly stuck with Sindome and Starmourn, both due to the futuristic theme.

Sindome isn’t bad. I really like the cyberpunk style and how there is a strong focus on narrative. I don’t like that you really can’t use anything outside their browser client and there isn’t any expansion on the UI outside of the main window. Ideally, running through Mudlet is how I prefer to run.

Starmourn is really fun. So far, I really haven’t had much opportunity to just explore and do combat. I’m hoping that opens up more, but the narrative reminds me of the slightly cheesy Backyard Starship book series or almost a kind of Commander Keen vibe. It doesn’t take itself super seriously which I like.
