What books... in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, November 20 2005 14:17 Profile Homepage #37 quote: Originally written by The Society of Association: Looking for Terry Pratchett books in a library is a strange exercise. You need an advanced understanding of L-space mechanics to know exactly what book you're getting, where it is, how to get it, and when it will be there. Not to mention the issue of whether or not it will have been published yet at the time you go looking for it. Nothing worse than going to find your favorite Pratchett book and find out that it doesn't exist yet. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

Knowlege brew recipe in The Avernum Trilogy
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, November 20 2005 12:38 Profile Homepage #2 Uh... carrying over from the other topic (one of them really ought to be locked), that hermit near Delis doesn't really do much of anything, if I recall correctly. According to one of these walkthroughs, you need to go talk to Winterhouse in Lorelei (he owns an inn there). Ask him about rumors he's heard. It appears you had things out of order, as Foxfire doesn't come into the picture until after you've spoken with Winterhouse. Have fun with the Mad Monks (you'll see what I mean later)... EDIT: Another helpful tip... it helps to use the EDIT button instead of double posting. It makes fewer people angry. EDIT 2: Had to fix the link.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Saturday, November 19 2005 12:23 Profile Homepage #3 Note: Chika absorbs effects that you have, not ones that you cast on her. So, if you bless your character, Chika takes that blessing for herself. If your character is invulnerable, Chika takes that away and becomes invunlerable. Everything that happens to your character gets absorbed by Chika (except damage). So, think of something that Chika doesn't want to absorb. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

Some wonderful group on my campus was offering free tickets to that first showing, and I couldn't help but go for it. Having read the book lessens the quality of the movie to me, but it was generally good. I mean, SFX good as always, though some bits were clearly added just for the movie. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

The Mountain of Shadows RP in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Wednesday, November 16 2005 22:14 Profile Homepage #418 OoC: Rollin' rollin' rollin', Keep this RP rollin'— (clubs self with nalgene) Hm... I apologize for that outburst. Anyway... IC: Sequoia stared out of the cave mouth's shelter at the solid whiteness. This is pleasant, he thought, and he actually meant it. Such calm had thus far escaped him on this journey, and he welcomed the quiet moment with open arms. And open eyes, for that matter. Snow pelted him in the face as he stood in the utter silence of the storm. Then the mountain moved, a sickening grinding rumble which lasted for about a minute (or so it seemed to the druid). Sequoia slowly picked himself up off the icy ground, brushing a few stray snowflakes off his worn cloak. Nothing broken, just a bruise. That's a bit odd... he thought. He knew about earthquakes. He had even participated in a few. But this was just strange... it felt like the mountain had actually moved, instead of the random shaking characteristic of earthquakes. He shrugged it off, mentally filing it under "some unnatural magical event". He turned to face the interior of the cave. The back of the cave sloped upward into a somewhat narrow passage, and appeared to have a few torch brackets in the walls. Of course, they held nothing but icicles now, but that didn't seem to be a problem. It just meant one more thing to hold onto. Suddenly, Sequoia heard a voice from outside the cave. It was a little muffled by the storm's thickness, but it definitely sounded humanoid. He crouched behind an ice-covered stalagmite near the entrance, expecting the worst. He wondered how effective his spells would be at this altitude, in this kind of climate... then tensed as the voice split into two distinct ones as it grew closer. Needless to say, it was a relief when he saw Lisha and the elf step into the cave. At least it was a relief to see Lisha... Sequoia was still unsure about the elf after seeing the... thing... in her eyes. OoC: I'm blanking on dialogue. EDIT: typos...

I hope my opinion is shared. in The Avernum Trilogy
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Monday, November 14 2005 22:31 Profile Homepage #7 I have to agree with you there, Kel. Keyboard movement got powerfully awkward when auto-centering died. That, and it's annoying to accidentally skip text boxes when you're holding down a keyboard movement (particularly when moving south and pressing 1). But I refuse to give up on it... I just have to wave the mouse around to shift the view and make sure I don't walk into something painful. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

Pretty little touches in Blades of Avernum

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Monday, November 14 2005 12:59 Profile Homepage #21 quote: Originally written by POK: —Alorael, who found Ishmael to be well-written, very pointed, and at the end somewhat creepy. It's very well written, but the conclusion is hard to swallow. Agreed. A bit depressing, really. All that build-up of hope and fresh ideas, then a downward spiral to the end. Actually, it was more of a straight drop to the bottom. And thus began (or rather, continued) the warping of my mind. (Wow, every sentence in that paragraph began with A. Unintentional, I believe.) Still, the book gives you a fresh perspective on some normally-immutable ideas. Thus, a really good book, particularly for something that was required reading. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

Beta Testing Testing One Two Three Four in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Monday, November 14 2005 12:44 Profile Homepage #31 quote: Originally written by Student of Trinity: Maybe I'm just one of the slowest testers, so everything is fixed by the time I get to it, but I've found beta testing to be not very different from how I play these games anyway, which is to try to expose every pixel and complete every possible quest. I'm still getting a handle on what constitutes a useful beta report; basically, you need to make purely illustrative save files. No, I believe I'm the slowest. I've been going through things so exhaustively (I read everything, from signposts to item descriptions), that I haven't quite hit Almaria yet. Horrible, I know, but I am still finding bugs and strange happenings. I still manage useful reports (at least, I think they would be useful). -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games."
