I seem to remember that there were special circumstances surrounding the other site being taken offline. Was it discussed here, perhaps?

Yup. The designer of the other set of rules showed up and started explaining himself. Apparently the site was intended as a reference for a gaming group, and he wasn't even aware it was available outside his university's intranet.

I would take a relatively small amount of the money for myself - about 10 million dollars. I would then donate 50% of the remainder to TM's time machine fund, 50% of the remainder to charity, 50% to Jeff on the condition that he fixes all the bugs in BoE and BoA, even the undiscovered ones, and 50% to Icshi in the hopes that he can used his Richard White-given reality-bending powers to make the whole equation work out to 100%.

I would use it to buy out several buisnesses. Then I would use the money I make off of them to fund a campaign for becoming president of the USA, using my strategic brilliance I would trick countries into going to war with each other. After the dominant countries are weak and poor I would sned in my army which had been growing in strength for the times that there have been war. Then destroy the weakend countries becoming the ruler of the world.

I think this topic getting posted every month or two is due to some sort of spacetime anomoly where this topic gets stuck in some loop of the continuum. Thoughts?

Well, AIM friends, obviously. I'm pretty sure they told me you had invited them there once and they just decided to make it their own chat room. There were only two or three of them, and I'm pretty sure they said you'd brought them there, but maybe not.

Aran, I vaguely remember exploring this with you. Do you remember any of this?

I don't know how anyone can not like Myst (origanal) and Riven. In Riven there's a whole entire world with freaky little girls that run away and underwater submarine rides tainted with mind-boggling puzzles and a rich storyline.

In Myst there's also puzzles but the thing I love about Myst is that you go to an observatory, find a code, push buttons near a well, go onto a sunken ship, find a creepy castle and find torture equipment and rich spoils! You see guy's talking in books, you find grids inside fireplaces, it is just the thing to open your mind.

But the best thing is the little details. In Riven there is moths that you can click on for them to fly away. In Myst you open a box and find a decapitated head inside that really serves no point exept to express the storyline.

Ziabatsu's half-finished d20 conversion.

There was another attempt elsewhere, but it's gone now.

—Alorael, who doesn't see how Avernum needs much in the way of conversion. The setting is different, and vahnatai need to be detailed (if you can't find cat people and lizard people, you failed Google 101), but mostly its generic fantasy in a setting that needs description, not mechanics.
