As for Scorp, I remember he sent me a lemonparty link on AIM not too long ago, so he's alive and kicking. Just not on these forums. Which, as I'm sure most would agree after brief contemplation, is a good thing.

Whats scary is that I've actually played some of these games recently- there are versions of rogue and Ultima 1, 2, & 3 for Palm OS. I agree, Dungeons and Dragons does look somewhat stupid, and although it's probably somewhat fun I doubt it's anywhere as fun as computer RPGs. Many of the early RPG's you mentioned are technically strategy, but I suppose that back then that was the closest they got to RPG. Way to pass judgment before giving something a shot. Never mind that cRPGs are the natural decendents of D&D and other PnP RPGs. I weep for your generation. Oh, the youth of today! :P -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Other Realms in Avernum in Blades of Avernum
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Thursday, March 17 2005 05:28 Profile Homepage #1 First of all, the commonly accepted name for the world is "Ermarian", referring to the entire collective of the caves and the surface. Unless you mean only the caves, in which "Avernum" would be correct. "Hell" is quite probably a different dimension (or planet) entirely, since whenever demons want to overrun something in Avernum, they come through a portal. You'd think they'd have found some kind of physical way if they lived in the same world. Efreeti are apparently demons (or at least spirits) as well, so they'll likely live somewhere in there too. TM has some interesting ideas about Rakshasi and their alternate dimension, which I can't quite remember right now. Jeff himself makes mention of "the nether" in one spell description, which appears to be the origin of both demons and spirits. So the Land of the Dead is probably equivalent to Hell, or The Nether, or what you want to call it. The Vahnatai lands, obviously, are another level (or set of levels) beneath Avernum - Avernum appears to have been a station on their journey underground, since they call it "their former country". Then there's Bahssikavah (sp?), or lizardland if you will. That's probably a whole lot different from the Vahnatai lands, or the Vahnatai would have mentioned some encounters with them.

Regardless of political stance, I believe we should not forget those who dream of peace, and who are ready to die for this dream. There are altogether too few of them.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Tuesday, March 15 2005 14:45 Profile Homepage #3 On top of that, it's a freewebs account. Unbelievable amateurish. It isn't fun iwithout complaining to some domain name registrant or ISP. On the other hand, complaining to freewebs would get the site off the web faster than you can say "Terms of Service". I think I will do that to brighten an otherwise gloomy day. Edit: And what a pity. The site looks wonderfully made. I wonder how someone would afford that kind of professional web design, but not get themselves a domain? Edit2: By the way, just out of interest, is it legal for another company to sell MS products at reduced prices - are those still licensed programs, or some kind of rip-off?

Geneforge 3 Questions in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Tuesday, March 15 2005 14:37 Profile Homepage #14 quote: Originally written by Fringy MacGee: the real question is, why is it legal to sell things you can get for free. Consider this example: Prostitution = illegal. You can get it for free but paying for it is against the law. Pirated Software = illegal. You can buy it, but its illegal to download it for free. food for thought. I do not think it is paying for these services that is the illegal part. It is offering to sell them that is illegal (when it is illegal at all, of course. It is not here as far as I know.) The other would be unenforcable - who can check whether or not you have paid? Oh, and yes, I'm talking about prostitution, not piracy. :P [ Tuesday, March 15, 2005 14:40: Message edited by: I'm Late, I'm Late, For ] -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!
