Djur, Alec - sorry, but I'm not going to respond. You do raise some valid arguments and I'd be happy to reply to them, but not when they're presented in such an aggressive manner. Ask me the difficult questions if you like, but don't accuse me of being like a Nazi. -------------------- Rate my scenarios!

It's an early, incomplete version of a scenario Stareye is working on that somehow got included in the download. -------------------- Rate my scenarios! Areni Revenge To Live in Fear Deadly Goblins Ugantan Nightmare Isle of Boredom Posts: 1423 | Registered: Sunday, October 7 2001 07:00 |

So I'm not just referencing vague general sources. I doubt any of you have read that one, but it's good. Written by a former gay and former lesbian who are now married. They now have a ministry helping other people who want to change. I'm not saying that anyone could change if they wanted to - I feel entirely unqualified to make claims like that - but unless you're going to label these people as incredible fraudsters, it's apparent that at least some people can change their sexuality. Not that it's easy, mind. Perhaps I should define what I mean by 'unnatural'. I believe that if our bodies and minds were perfect, there would be no homosexuality. I don't deny that some people can't help feeling attracted to the same sex - that's just the way they are. However, I believe that desire is caused by genetic defects, upbringing, or something like that. I don't believe that God designed people to be homosexual, any more than he designed people to be sexually attracted to children. quote:I do believe homosexuality is wrong, I believe necrophilia is wrong, I believe bestiality is wrong, I believe paedophilia is wrong. I feel very sorry for anyone whose 'natural' desires (as in, it's not their choice to feel that way or fault that they do) go so strongly against what's right. However, wanting something doesn't make it any more right - doesn't matter if you're a homosexual, paedophile, or someone with a really bad temper. You need to subdue and control those desires, and if possible, change them. Quick point of clarification - I don't watch porn. That's also wrong. -------------------- Rate my scenarios!

Just found this topic. Needless to say, I have my own strong views, but since I'm short on time I'll only provide them in brief. 1. Jesus died for us all, from the saints to the paedophiles. 2. I don't believe homosexuality is a natural thing. Males and females were designed for each other, and desires for the same sex, or for animals, or dead people, or children, are not the way things are meant to be. Whether they're caused by genetic defects or upbringing or whatever, I can't say for certain. Probably causes vary greatly from case to case. We live in a fallen world and many things aren't perfect - I have a brother who's autistic. 3. I don't hate homosexuals for being evil perversions or anything like that - generally speaking, I feel sorry for them. I'd hate to live like that. 4. I have read books by people who have changed their sexual orientation, so it is possible in some cases at least. 5. David and Jonathan were not gay, and it's ridiculous to say they were. They were like brothers, not lovers. 6. Regarding hemophrodites (sp?) and suchlike, I'm not going to pretend there are any easy answers. As I said before, we live in a fallen world, and many people are physically flawed in one way or another. I sincerely pity anyone who is forced to deal with issues like that. -------------------- Rate my scenarios!

The number of goblins who have nothing better to do than sit around waiting for adventurers to kill them for XP always annoyed me... so I made a scenario where they get a bit of their own back. Anyway, one of my graphics from Revenge could probably be used as a Blade Beast or something similar. -------------------- Rate my scenarios!

1. Luz, without a shadow of a doubt. We could argue all day whether her best or Farland's best is better, but her average quality is a chuck higher and she's done a lot more. 2. Tim Farland. He's produced some stunning graphics. 3. Relhan. Nothing of his, I think, reaches the height of Luz or Tim's best work, but he has made a large number of very good graphics and deserves a mention. -------------------- Rate my scenarios!

BoA doesn't. You can actually import other scenarios over the top of VoDT if you really want. I'd recommend getting BoE. There's loads of scenarios to keep you busy while you're saving up for BoA. -------------------- Rate my scenarios!

No. Start designing a scenario and it will come around quickly enough, trust me. However, a smaller contest may be held by the Blades community in the meantime. -------------------- Rate my scenarios!

I think it's a very good technique, which I and many other designers use. Go for it. Don't sweat too much if you can't make it foolproof, just let them know that it's important for storyline/combat balance.

When a designer wants testers, he'll ask for them. Until then, just wait around and maybe play a bit of BoE. -------------------- Rate my scenarios! Areni Revenge To Live in Fear Deadly Goblins Ugantan Nightmare Isle of Boredom Posts: 1423 | Registered: Sunday, October 7 2001 07:00 |
