A wonderful tool for wasting your time in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Wednesday, March 7 2007 13:32 Profile Homepage #3 My favorite... √(Onions) = shallots. I made it to 32 before my brain imploded. Oh, and it lies... the 7th letter of the alphabet is G, not H. Then again, it's my fault for taking the stupid thing. EDIT: Well. I'm stupid. "The alphabet"... :P [ Wednesday, March 07, 2007 13:35: Message edited by: Ephesos ] -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

Erm... wrong. It's around the eastern end of the Northern Islands, north of Harston and such. As for A3... well, most of the same strategies you use in A2 will work.

Rentar-Ihrno in The Avernum Trilogy
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Wednesday, March 7 2007 07:20 Profile Homepage #2 Okay... so, if you're playing A2, don't kill Rentar because it might screw up your game. If you're playing A3, just wait and odds are you'll get to her eventually. But basically, if you actually want to kill her, play A4. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Mountain of Shadows RP: the sequel in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Tuesday, March 6 2007 21:17 Profile Homepage #51 Dear Readers (OoC): And with another grunt of dissatisfaction, this topic is dredged up from the depths of SW to be dealt with. So, given the fact that this RP is now over one and a half years old (yes, it is, check it yourself), we have to ask ourselves: Are we ever actually going to finish this thing? A few of us have seriously considered this question, and the consensus seems to be "probably not, at least not before one of us dies of old age". Thus, we have a proposal. If nobody else objects, we're just going to cap this whole thing off with a nice, long epilogue and call it finished. You've got a week to object (preferably in the form of an IC post). Otherwise, it's been fun, and hopefully we can get a new RP kicked off sometime in the near future. (And to those of you who've read this far and have no idea what's going on, read the whole RP. It's good stuff.) -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead. With a passion.

You can do anything if you set your mind to it. in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Tuesday, March 6 2007 21:05 Profile Homepage #15 That's always been something I don't quite get about the self-help industry... the people who are really far gone, who actually need the help, aren't going to sit down and read a four hundred page book about the power of positive thinking. They're the ones who are going to go to therapy for four years without having a breakthrough, or who will go to rehab and relapse ad nauseum, or who insist that they'll get out of credit card debt by applying for another card. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Exodus - Great!! ... but I have some frustrations in Blades of Avernum
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Monday, March 5 2007 17:33 Profile Homepage #3 quote: Originally written by Archie Goodwin: 2. I tried your suggestion but it did not work. In the character editor I loaded a saved game and clicked on "advanced features". Then I clicked on "Set Stuff Done Flag" and in the window I entered: 13 2 2 I had to enter it three times before the window went away. Oh, here's your problem. You need to enter each number separately. When the window first pops up, enter 13, then hit Enter. Then, when the window pops up again, enter 2 and hit Enter. Then, when the window pops up for the third time, enter 2 and hit Enter. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead.

turn based strategy for BoA in Blades of Avernum
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, March 4 2007 20:29 Profile Homepage #1 That actually sounds incredibly cool, and I look forward to seeing it.

Playing as the Vahnatai (?) in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, March 4 2007 17:17 Profile Homepage #12 quote: Originally written by Excalibur: What if you could play as an ogre, troglodyte, hill giant, brigand, Empire soldier, efreet, gorgon, gremlin, dragon, goblin, kobold, golem, etc.? Golem: No fun in it. Besides, you'd either be controlled by someone else or patently insane. Kobold, Goblin: Too weak and short-lived. Ogre, Trog: They're just hairy, stupid humans. That's the only real difference. And one likes stone spirals. Giants: Movement would be an issue... Giant PCs would be able to cross different terrain from the others. Oh, and they'd be pretty stupid as well. Gremlin: Too disorganized. Brigand: Not different enough. Empire Soldier: Too boring. I'm personally waiting for a good BoA scenario to work with this, though. Dragon: Overpowered, the issue of flight, lifespan length, the fact that there are only like six of them in the entire cave system... Efreet: Chaotic fire-beings from another plane? Seriously? I just can't see them being real team players. Gorgon: "Why won't anybody look at me?" ...besides, who ever uses Forcecage? EDIT: Forgot gorgons, which are just as ridiculous. Not to mention the fact that only about four of these could effectively communicate.

Jeff Really hates RPGS>?!? in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, March 4 2007 16:59 Profile Homepage #4 This article was definitely linked to before... this is the only one of those topics that wasn't locked, I believe. Anyway, I don't think Jeff really hates RPGs. If he did, he would've stopped making them... it's just the elements of the genre that he mentioned that he seems to hate. And he's not going to start making online games anytime soon... this has been discussed many, many times. If anything, they're worse than traditional RPGs in terms of "things that Jeff hates". That, of course, and they require servers, bandwidth, constant maintenance... -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

Parry Skill in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, March 2 2007 07:40 Profile Homepage #2 I believe it's 6 Dexterity and 6 Defense, which does not include bonuses from equipment.

what is the best A game in The Avernum Trilogy
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Thursday, March 1 2007 16:19 Profile Homepage #11 No, A2 is pretty much the best of the three (even when you include A4, actually). If BoA had been included (as it should have been), I would've been hard-pressed to decide... but A2 would probably still win. EDIT: Oh, and about the vahnatai. They were still novel in A2 (for those of us who hadn't played Exile), and they actually added quite a bit of flavor to the game. Personally, they were a great deal of what hooked me on the series.
