Hello, my fellow TA forums members! I am Shaun Musgrave, the review-writing, malfunctioning Pinbot machine. You may have seen my work on such sites as TouchArcade. Well, as you may or may not know, I have started a new weekly thing called RPG Reload where I play previously-released iOS RPGs and write enough words about them to choke a donkey. I'm doing this because I really like to play RPGs, I really really like to replay RPGs, and I really really really like to write a bunch of words about games I love. Generally, articles will be going up on Thursdays, and I'll do my best to stick to that unless a family emergency or something intervenes.

That's cool, man. No time pressure, just pop in when you can. This is one of those relaxed kind of clubs!
Great Shaun! Congrats for this great cause, simply love rpg's and the souls and spirit behind the rpg's gaming experience, love Jrpg, wrpg's strategy, adventure, action, and lots more, love Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest, Baldur's Gate, Chaos Rings, Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana and many many others, thanks for supporting this great cause and love for Rpg's
Well, the Reader's Choice Reloads are up to the readers, so if the majority votes something fairly new, they'll get it. I have my schedule planned through the next few months for the column, but I can always adjust it for balance if the Reader's Choices go in odd directions.
Anyone has play Kemco's Rpg Soul Histrica? Any , Shaun? What do you think about it so far? First impressions?
/checks Kemco's official page Oh dang it, it's out two weeks early? sighhhhhhh I'll have a review up in a week or so. The developer is Magitec so expect a half-decent story, irritating dungeons, and some interesting character development systems.
Shaun, I just finished reading the CT article. If Chrono Trigger wasn't your favorite JRPG, which one was? Also from the article: Next Week's Reload Hint: Pack your graph paper and a lyre.
Just made it to the party, but I'm stoked to be here! I've got Chrono Trigger on my phone now but I'm only 25-30 hours into it. I'll probably give it a few more minutes today after I finally get to read your article. Can't wait!
Shaun love the articles. And will keeping up on this thread as well. I won't be playing CT but I know it well enough to converse. And I'll definitely have to check out Chaos rings as I didn't pick it up when it originally came out. RPGs I'm currently playing Dargon Quest IV on my 5S and Paper Mario on my N64. Also must note that Frog's Theme is my current ringtone. Love that soundtrack.
