My aMAZEing idea... in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, January 7 2006 00:30 Profile Homepage #12 quote: Originally written by Inthrall: Also, im not sure whether to make this story set in avernum, and just make it a demon. Im not sure on many things actually. Better to keep it out of Avernum. Too many scenarios (one of them mine) are set in Avernum with demon villains. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

My aMAZEing idea... in Blades of Avernum Editor
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, January 7 2006 00:01 Profile Homepage #7 Instead of fighting the local militia, you might have some tense questioning back and forth. A few dialog boxes would probably suffice to give the impression that there was some trouble brewing. I agree that making the thread actually appear on the ground would be difficult. You could just indicate it by message boxes: "From here, you can see that your thread turns north, which must be the way out!" Keeping it small and simple is good, especially for a first scenario. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Any chance of seeing the old good graphs? in Avernum 4
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, January 6 2006 14:50 Profile Homepage #1 quote: Originally written by Hjolmar: So my question is that is there any chance to see Avernum 4 on the older graphics? Would be hard now with completed plot and engine? Would it take too much time to combine em? No, yes, and yes, respectively. I really disliked A4's graphics at first, too. Eventually I got used to them, though. I still prefer the classic Avernum graphics, though. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, January 6 2006 14:02 Profile Homepage #3 It comes from "ballista" — a perfectly normal Latin word (of Greek origin, from the verb "to throw") — and the suffix -icus, which is a normal Latin suffix for forming words that mean "related to [x]." Presumably that -icus suffix is more or less equivalent to the English -ic suffix. I mean, the word would mean, "relating to ballistas," which is not quite as general as "ballistic" in English, which is why the first translation is preferable.

So if the reason that your mage has a lower level than your priest is that your mage happened to be unconscious when you read the book, you're out of luck. If you happened to buy more Firebolt levels for your priest than for your mage, you can go back to anyone who sells the spell and buy another level for your mage. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

The nephilim language in The Avernum Trilogy
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, January 6 2006 11:13 Profile Homepage #7 quote: Originally written by Thralni, chicken god prophet: Most names of nephilim in Avernum are also nothing more then mrrrfrrr or something like that, so that also won't be very usefull. No, that tells you something! It tells you that they prefer nasals and liquids to vowels. It is possible to have a language that has few or no vowels if it allows nasals and liquids to take a full stress (whereas English only allows them to sit in unstressed positions, as in "apple" — properly /?p-l/ with no vowel in the second syllable, although some insert a schwa for ease of pronunciation). It also tells you that their language draws out its R's in sort of the way the sliths draw out their S's, which is worth considering for paradigms. Nephils might make a distinction between many kinds of R's, from the approximant to the trill to the tap (and Wikipedia's IPA page might be worth checking if you're not already an expert on phonology). You can get all sorts of ideas from the names. Don't ignore them!

The nephilim language in The Avernum Trilogy
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Friday, January 6 2006 00:37 Profile Homepage #1 The nephilim come from the surface, according to the AT. I'd advise checking A1-3 in the places where one meets nephilim to see their names. That can give you hints about the sounds they like to pronounce, which can get you started on phonology. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
