Racism in Avernum. in The Avernum Trilogy
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Thursday, January 6 2005 17:07 Profile Homepage #20 As much as this threads offends my sense of taste, I can't find any specific reason to lock it, so it lives. And XK, it's actually not spelled "Slithzerakai," but slithzerikai. There are those of us who are trying to break free of the racial stereotypes in the Avernum world via BoA scenarios (my Bahssikava), but it is a losing battle, I fear. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Beta-Call for Bahssikava in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Thursday, January 6 2005 02:26 Profile Homepage #27 Whew, okay, I'm back, and I've read over most of the e-mails sent since I left. I think this scenario will go through at least two or three more beta versions, not just one, and I want testers who've never seen it before for each new version, so I'll be adding to the list gradually. At any rate, expect a new version soon. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

Beta-Call for Bahssikava in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, December 28 2004 22:02 Profile Homepage #13 Intention double-post w00t! Okay, as of right now, I'm done. I didn't quite finish going through it with a normal party, but the question appears to be whether it is too easy, not whether it is too hard, so that shouldn't be a problem. I'm sending a .sit file with the .cmg graphics file to these people: TM, Thuryl, Boots, and Benjamin. I'm sending a .zip file with .bmp graphics files (which seem absurdly large in size — I hope I converted them properly) to these people: Toast, Zxquez, and Taffer. Feel free to use this thread to help each other with the scenario, although I'd like your final comments as e-mails. I will be able to check this thread every now and then while I'm gone. EDIT: I'll be around until tomorrow morning if anything should come up.

Sss-Thoss in General
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, December 28 2004 17:55 Profile Homepage #0 This sort of relates to ET, BoE, AT, and BoA, so I guess I'll stick this in General. Here's my question: I seem to recall at some point hearing of a slith named Sss-Thoss who was a grandfather to Sss-Thsss, and I can't track down where it was. I may have just completely made this up and never heard it somewhere, or it may be somewhere in the games, or possibly it's one of the plotlines that filled in more historical information between the games, like the Stareye/Drakey/whatever one. Does anyone have an idea which one it might be? Has anyone else heard of a Sss-Thoss, or did I just make this up completely?

(A3) Under Tinraya- Editor Got Me In Trouble? in The Avernum Trilogy
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, December 28 2004 12:46 Profile Homepage #1 You may very well be in some trouble. Two things: 1) You don't have to beat the golems before going through the Keep of Tinraya. 2) Always back up your save file before mucking with it in the editor. There's a reason it tells you to do that. That said, let me see if I can find a solution to this. I'll edit this message in a little bit. EDIT: If there is a way, I sure can't find it. It looks like the portal is handled by an SDF, which means you can't enter it more than once. I don't think there's much you can do from the point that you're at. Do you have an earlier save file at all?

Beta-Call for Bahssikava in Blades of Avernum
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, December 28 2004 11:56 Profile Homepage #12 Progress update: things are going almost on schedule, so there's a very good chance that I will be done by tomorrow. If not, well, you'll have wait about a week. I just have to fix two beam puzzles — the frustrating thing is that the bugs are in BoA, not in my design — and run through it with a normal party, since I've been testing with a god party so far. If any of the combat is too badly out of whack, I'll muck with it until it's okay, and then it should be pretty much ready to get sent out. I want to do a round of beta, fix anything that the testers report, and then do another round of beta on the new version. Unless anyone has problems with this, the first and second rounds will go as follows. First round: TM Thuryl Boots Toast Benjamin Zxquez Taffer Second round: Timber-Wolf Slith Mako Eagle1 and anyone from the first round who wants to re-play it or anyone else who signs up later. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

New Breed... in Blades of Exile
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, December 28 2004 11:36 Profile Homepage #1 Awesome. Well, okay. To give a more elaborate answer: I think we have plenty of mindless hack-n'-slash already. If you want heaps upon heaps of fairly monotonous combat, play Demon Island I or II. Doing something new is good. Also, as I mentioned over in the HoF Banter board in the Lyceum, some people have gotten really good at traditional Exile combat, and I think they're bored with it. I think that Thuryl is one such person (hence Roots), and so is the Creator (hence Areni), and TM, too (hence NTH — one would expect him to get bored with traditional combat after playing 200+ scenarios of it :P ). Since they make scenarios that they would want to play, they adapt the combat to be different from traditional Exile combat. The developing skills of players has affected the style of designers, which is part of why I think that the really outstanding players who haven't designed much (Imban, Bruce Mitchell, and until recently Thuryl, among others) are important to the community. They force designers to design differently. Then it's up to the really terrible players, like myself, to keep their influence in check. :P At any rate, new and different combat that stretches the limits of the BoE engine is good, since that's probably the only thing that will continue to keep BoE alive and healthy as BoA starts to gain ground. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Text not displaying properly on Geneforge 2 in Tech Support
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, December 28 2004 10:48 Profile Homepage #3 Just because the previous post made it seem otherwise: no, that doesn't always happen. Most people can play through GF2 without ever having a problem with over-sized text. It's something specific to your computer or operating system or something. There may be a way to fix it, but I don't know what it is. Jeff might. If you e-mail Spiderweb and tell him as much of the technical specifications of your computer and operating system that you know, and if you tell him specific text boxes where this happens, he might be able to help you. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Speculating about Avernum 4's plot in General
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, December 28 2004 07:43 Profile Homepage #29 quote: Originally written by Zorro: Jeff replies consistently in interviews that he finds engrossing and ambiguous ethical situations to be key to making a genuine and memorable role playing experience. That's interesting. I don't recall him ever saying that in any interview that I've read with him, although I admit I've only read a few. I do recall him saying recently on these boards that plot shouldn't get in the way of good hack n' slash, though, which is probably why, despite the fact that the Geneforge games certainly do bring up complex ethical issues, they don't develop them particularly deeply, since each ending requires essentially the same thing: go and kill a bunch of stuff and then I'll give you some text in the very, very end that changes depending on what you did. I suppose we're all just speculating, though. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.
