Rpgs for Mac in General
Daedalus Shock Trooper Member # 2300	written Wednesday, April 20 2005 07:19 Profile #4 Oh, I forget to mention text-based RPGs, there's some great ones out there if you're into that. Achaea, Legends of Terris were my favourites back when I really liked that kind of thing, particularly Achaea which is complex, but original, deep, and rewarding to play. -------------------- Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." - Soviet infantry manual, 1930's Posts: 267 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 27 2002 08:00

The fact that you apparently don't know the difference between a Shakespeare play and an opera does not lend credence to anything you say about Renaissance art forms. Not that Mozart was working during the Renaissance, if that's indeed what you were implying. Uh, in fact, about 100 years after it ended. Mozart was a Classical composer. Sorry for the irrelevance but I'm a musician and couldn't help myself. -------------------- Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." - Soviet infantry manual, 1930's Posts: 267 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 27 2002 08:00
Flute, Viola, and Piano Trio in General
Daedalus Shock Trooper Member # 2300	written Friday, January 21 2005 14:09 Profile #6 If you do find yourself stuck you could always just find a conventional piano trio, replace the violin with the flute, and transpose the 'cello up an octave for viola. Not a guaranteed solution but you never know until you try :D I've seen more far-fetched ensembles work after all, such as a bagpipe/marimba/ocarina/double bass. Yes, it really worked. No, really, it did. -------------------- Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." - Soviet infantry manual, 1930's Posts: 267 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 27 2002 08:00
Script question in Blades of Avernum
Daedalus Shock Trooper Member # 2300	written Saturday, March 13 2004 13:50 Profile #9 I assume there'd be a way of stripping the party of its inventory, like the Three Crones do in Nethergate (for the Celts)? You could then give them the inventory you wanted them to have to use, and return their original inventory at the end of the scenario. -------------------- Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." - Soviet infantry manual, 1930's Posts: 267 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 27 2002 08:00

RPG Hybrids in General
Daedalus Shock Trooper Member # 2300	written Wednesday, March 3 2004 14:16 Profile #10 quote: Originally written by Logalot^2: Deus Ex is possibly one of the greatest games of all time. Unfortunately, it's sequal, though enjoyable, dumbs it down. Gone is the skill system, cigarrettes and all the little useless things that made the game what it was. I wish someone would hurry up and develop it for Mac. Having said that if the sequel is what you say it is I'm not so bothered... constantly replaying the first is good enough for me It would have been nigh on impossible to improve, let alone equal the first I suppose. Out of curiosity are all the RPG elements gone or have some remained/ new ones been introduced? I assume augs are still there since they formed a central tenet of the whole nanotechnology thing and their absence would take away somewhat from a game built around a nano-technologically enchanced agent. -------------------- Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." - Soviet infantry manual, 1930's Posts: 267 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 27 2002 08:00

Daedalus Shock Trooper Member # 2300	written Wednesday, March 3 2004 14:06 Profile #24 My mum seems to live on green tea these days, I have to say I do like it, & it's meant to be fairly good for her high blood pressure amongst other things, but I'm not fanatical about the stuff myself. I do like fruit herbal teas now & then though. I had a really nice one a while back, I think it was nettle and somethin-or other? Mabye blackberry, I could be wrong. Funny how topics can so quickly....wander. I will sort of try and return to the main topic by asking if there are any fellow Scots on the boards? I haven't noticed any, so if you're there, expose yourself. Um, that came out wrong. But I'm not in that much of a hurry to change it. -------------------- Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." - Soviet infantry manual, 1930's Posts: 267 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 27 2002 08:00

Daedalus Shock Trooper Member # 2300	written Saturday, February 28 2004 08:54 Profile #9 Interesting.... I'd never really considered that before. My opinion is that sex is solely, at the base of it all, a means to procreation. The positive associations we make with sex are merely a subconscious biological means of encouraging reproduction... I suppose what I'm saying is that physically sex is solely a means of procreation, whereas mentally it can be anything and everything. -------------------- Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." - Soviet infantry manual, 1930's Posts: 267 \| Registered: Wednesday, November 27 2002 08:00
