Not that I'm saying you're wrong Drakey (you're wrong :P ), but didn't it start at Grahk's Peninsula? I'm sure Av1 said something to this effect (Av2's Peninsula sign was blurred). In fact, the more I think about it, the more I'm sure.

Where's Kel? He'd know this.

Thuryl... Genius. That's the one, with the exception that my dream contained no lego of any sorts. Unfortunately.

I prefer Escher's one with the continously spirraling staircase. Again, I lack the name of it (and it might not even be by Escher...), but I know what it looks like!

To Alex: Usually, I understand your drawings. This is the only one that's had me flummoxed. I understand you need to keep the rest of them in the dark, but if you could email me with some kind of explanation... Because I sure could use it this time.

Hmmm, the mutton might be a reference to "mutton dressed as lamb", maybe implying that somebody was lying? But Marilyn? And the evil-big-thingy? Lost me.

Fair enough. Lets not be shallow and not say that together. So did you swap numbers perhaps...? :)

Hey, not bad! Actually it was pretty good. Very good. And I'm not just saying that becasue she's pretty! It's not what I'd usually buy and listen to, but that's not a bad thing - I recently heard Pamela Wyn Shannon at a concert, and fell in love with the music, despite it being the total opposite of my preferred choices. I feel the same could happen here...

Thanks. If it hadn't been for you, I'd never have found her or discovered this great music. I've circulated the link to friends!

No... but if used well, they are okay. Even fun! I use ellipses a lot. You'll all probably be aware of that though...

Anyway ( :P ), the oldest game I played was probably ADOM too. I miss that game. I loved it at the time. The oldest (by concept) is maybe pong. The newest is GF3.

What would you do if... in General

Okay, browsing the Radiohead website I saw this little gem scrolling across the bottom of the window, and thought it was a great question:

What would you do if you knew you'd get away with it?

So, you could do anything in the world, from murder to robbing a sweet shop to kicking a small child, (none of which are on my list of course...) and get away with it. Completely. Even if witnesses were present. It would never go to trial, so your life wouldn't be affected in any way, apart from anything you may feel about the crime.

So, go nuts... but do so with moderation.

Ah. Since I don't have access to a Mac with BoA, I'm pretty much screwed unless I can teach myself some kind of programming language then.

Thanks though. I'll just have to stick with adding message_dialogs with "Please listen to this song now" in them. :)

I can think of two places I wouldn't want a 50 year old guy, with the kind of connotations that you were implying. Or that I thought you were implying... Therefore, if you're not in one of those places, you'll be in another. Which is bad.

If I was shallow I'd mention her prettiness. Since I'm not, I won't.

Still, her name doesn't ring a bell. I'm guessing she's a singer. What genre? And is she any good?

Stughalf is the ferret man. And hasn't been around for a while, strangely... I predict a new ferret attack in the immediate future.

Anyway, I'm semi-reviving this topic because I too had a SpidWeb dream last night. I was coding my scenario very late, and came to these boards to look up something, and then fell asleep almost straight after. That can be the only reason for dreaming about these forums. Unless you buy into that Freudian crap...

My dream was kinda scary. Bear in mind that I don't know what you guys look like - if I've seen you, I've forgotten (save Drakey, Stughalf and Aran). Anyway... Kelandon was sitting on a throne spouting all kinds of crap about Avernum, and growing in power the more he said. Drakey was standing behind him, rubbing his hands. I guess they were evil and trying to take over the boards. Which is remarkabley life-like.

Anyway, I digress. Aran was hiding from them, and came to me for help. I guess it was Aran since he's the only person I'm kinda friends with. Well, we talk infrequently, mostly about Encyclopaedia Ermariana, and that was a while ago... So, back to the story... Aran asked me to help him get back his ball from Kelandon, who was now holding this red ball. Kel was apparently going to use it to kill someone you don't know from The Real World. Well, you might, but I don't know that you do...

So, we tried loads of different plans to get this ball, only for Kel to throw it at us to get us to go away. We used the ball to fill up a drainpipe (old Silent Hill 1 puzzle), which got us a key for something. Then Aran ran off, leaving me alone. I wandered around for a bit, looking at weird pictures on the walls with my friend from Real Life. Then the dream ended.

A few others were there - Ben was a five year old playing cowboy music on a "piani" (crap Simpsons quote) for Kel, Drew was with his lady-wife watching TV in a corner, and Jumpin' Salmon was fishing - cliche, true, but realistic. Alorael was NOT present, I am sad to say.

The forums looked weird - like that piece of art (that fantastic piece of art) with the stairways going everywhere. People were milling about all over the place, and it had no ceiling - it just went up and up and up. And it had trapdoors and pits all over too. And people from The Real World were mixed in with you guys.

Your talents are wasted here, my friend.

I predict an honourary knighthood for you. I'll alert the Queen so she can add you to the list.

And...snake oil. Yum. If only I could see Drew's picture and read what ailments it cures... stupid MSPaint blurs it out of all recognition at just 2x.

Intriguing. Could one possibly alert me as to how one could do this? An email or web-link would be most satisfying.

I don't wanna know to screw up anyone's game, but having the capability might come in handy if I want to build up atmosphere, like in LP.

Thanks.

Slot trouble in Blades of Avernum Editor
Shaper
Member # 3442
Profile Homepage #2
Just to make things clear - even if you add the charcter to slot 4, say, it will appear next to the player;s character regardless of their number.

Okay, might sound a bit confusing, but for example, say I had a singleton. If I then went into a scenario and had someone join me, they would go into slot 4 or 5. In the game, they would then be directly behind my singleton, not three spaces away. The slot number doesn't actually matter, it's just for internal calculations and such.

Some of it is from the games, other bits made up.

Karzoth was the leader of the First Expedition = the actress in Fort Emerald in Av2 (forget her name - she teaches gymnastics) syas that she played the lead female role alongside him.

Whether you are nasty or not is random. A flag is set at the beginning of the scenario which alters what you say.

As for whether it is explained... kinda. The lead PC has a difficult past.
