Gaming, Meaty Fetus and RPG’s

As you may well know (but just in case you don’t) meatyfetus.com just points to dvicci.com. Nothing special about it. That may change however. I might split off all my gaming posts over to meatyfetus.com since "Meaty Fetus" is my online gaming persona… most times. I have others, but I’m using that more and more often now. Regardless, I think the domain name meatyfetus.com deserves more. Far more than what I’m giving it… I’m a reticent, even irresponsible parent and I need to do better.
Re: the RPG thing… I am SO looking forward to Neverwinter Nights and Dungeon Siege. If I buy no other games in the next 6 months, I will buy those two. I’m basically looking forward to them for the same reasons… kicking single-player story, the chance to really focus on and develop a single character, the chance to try my own hand at campaign/module creation, and to see what the gaming community comes up with after the games are released. There are already some projects underway that have great potential, including the Ultima V: Lazarus project using the DS engine, and the Dragonlance project using the NWN engine. I’m sure there are others out there, but those two are the only ones 5 minutes of searching came up with (that, and I’ve known about them for months now).
Also of note is Icewind Dale 2… I’ve only seen one news site mention it and some informal posts on the Planet Baldur’s Gate forums, but it seemed pretty solid (at least, enough other sites refer back to the report to make me consider it possibly true). However, that "solid" tidbit was quite a while ago, and with nothing since, I’m now doubting it’s validity. If it’s true, then I’d certainly fork out the cash for it… but if not, then there’s always DS and NWN.
