Modern day classics in General
WiKiSpidweb Infiltrator Member # 3441	written Thursday, March 30 2006 15:02 Profile Homepage #54 Out of curiosity, Siegfried, have you ever read any of Palahnuik's books. They are certainly not pulp novels. He was an extremely obscure and edgy writer who just so happened to have one of his books read by a Hollywood director. Rushdie will most likely be remembered, but only because of the fatwah thing. And at the risk of feeding your feelings of intellectual superiority, I will admit to being quite serious about not having heard of those books. I really don't have the time to read as much as I would like. I am also largely ignorant of modern foriegn literature. Unfortunately learning Aerospace Engineering leaves little time for such pursuits. EDIT: Also, Tristan und Isolde pre-dates Wagner by a good deal. Check out the earlier text by Gottfried von Strassburg [ Thursday, March 30, 2006 15:08: Message edited by: Smugglers' Alliance, Chief of the ] -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 \| Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00

While they might be considered worthy of that title by a literature professor, I have difficulty seeing them as classics with staying power. -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 \| Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00

WiKiSpidweb Infiltrator Member # 3441	written Tuesday, March 28 2006 06:56 Profile Homepage #28 I forgot about those, but yeah they were good. The truth, however, is that while many of these books are great, I can't see them gaining the widespread acclaim in the future that people like Victor Hugo, Alexandre Dumas, Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson, and all of the other literary giants of the past hae achieved. -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 \| Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00

I've made a script / story in General
WiKiSpidweb Infiltrator Member # 3441	written Monday, March 27 2006 20:16 Profile Homepage #457 I'm greatly enjoying this script. It really brought me up to date on the current people in the forums and their quirks. I'm assuming I am a dead lurker at this point. Anyway, keep up the good writing. -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 \| Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00
Silvar Pylon et al in Avernum 4
WiKiSpidweb Infiltrator Member # 3441	written Monday, March 27 2006 20:10 Profile Homepage #2 I had the hardest time finding several of the pylons even though they were in plain sight. Specifically I remember having trouble finding the silvar, cotra, and tower colony pylons. They somehow managed to blend in to the surrounding floor. -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 \| Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00

WiKiSpidweb Infiltrator Member # 3441	written Monday, March 27 2006 06:39 Profile Homepage #0 I was reading the classics topic, and was wondering, what authors/books from the last twenty years will come to be considered classics. When I use the term classic, I mean books that will be universally recognized by future generations. Any thoughts? -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 \| Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00

WiKiSpidweb Infiltrator Member # 3441	written Monday, March 27 2006 06:35 Profile Homepage #16 I say go for it. I don't know that you will succeed, but you will learn a lot from it. Of course you will need a ridiculous amount of focus to pull it off, but still, it would be awesome. Also, Huge scenarios are makeable, check out the BoE scenario AC:3 by shyguy. Now that thing was HUGE. -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 \| Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00

WiKiSpidweb Infiltrator Member # 3441	written Sunday, March 26 2006 21:14 Profile Homepage #12 I actually like the fusion of the indoors/outdoors. It adds to the realism and works very well with the idea of caves, where everything is going to be very close together due to space limitations. -------------------- "As our circle of knowledge expands, so does the circumference of darkness surrounding it." --Albert Einstein -------------------- Posts: 536 \| Registered: Sunday, September 7 2003 07:00

PDN? in General
WiKiSpidweb Infiltrator Member # 3441	written Sunday, March 26 2006 16:33 Profile Homepage #17 This particular name is a reference to the character Talon Karrde, a smuggler and information broker in several star wars novels Also, what does PDN stand for? I'm assuming it means the same thing as moniker from the context.
