Jeff, Valorim was cool!! in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Friday, September 8 2006 08:08 Profile Homepage #18 quote: Originally written by Emperor Tullegolar: I always imagined the old adventurers died doing what they love best, which would explain why all their legendary equipment is always redistributed throughout Avernum. Well, not all of it. Pachtar's Plate and such don't reappear, and some weapons have lost/regained their allure over the decades (Jade Halberd, anyone?). And in A4, the Orb finally disappeared, owing to the lack of elevation, I assume... Come to think of it, Pachtar's Plate got me thinking... why didn't any of the other adventurers construct elaborate tombs for themselves (assuming a few died happy)? Did they just admit that it isn't worth it with all the other graverobbing adventurers running around? ...did the previous bands inspire the Tests? I'm more curious as to the backstories of some of these weapons, really... for one, who was Eliavri (sp?), and why is his bow so good? How did the Justice Lance come about? -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games." Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

So, if you went with the unblockable option, then you'd have to have preset levels of damage, right? I'm pretty sure that without you can't check the PC's char_ok() quick enough. I really love the room for creative writing here... if this scenario comes to be, I expect some really good writing for when the evil... well, thing, would kill you. A variation on "It opens its gaping maw, and you awake drenched in cold sweat. It's gone." would probably be appropriate, but I'd love to see the final result. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

Anarchy is just the farthest extent of evolvement of human society! Nothing more, nothing less! And furtheremore, i'm not saying we mustn't have rules, just not the idiotic ones. And there should be no holes in them!!!!!! I seem to remember something by Terry Pratchett to the effect of, "Five exclamation marks in a row is a sure sign of insanity." (Anarchy seems more like the natural state of the biosphere. That said, it's not always pretty. In fact, it could get rather heated rather quickly... so I agree with Drew. Anarchy seems like a good idea, but there are enough people who are too stupid and cruel out there that the "system" wouldn't be stable.) -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

And since I missed most of the Dr. Who debate, I definitely think that the older series were better. It was just good to see it come back (heck, I missed all but two episodes last season due to not having a tv, and having a life).

This can be explained much more easily on a plot level, anyway. If all the PCs fail against their evil side (or whatever the enemy turns out to be), then none of them will be left to awaken the others. You could do some easy string manipulation stuff at the start of each day and have the characters that survived wake up the others. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

At least not as much as we are of the Croc Hunter. You know, in Missouri, we elected a dead man to the Senate. He'd died in a plane crash too close to the election for his name to be removed from the ballot, and he won in a race that wasn't really close. His wife took the office... Jean Carnahan, if anyone's actually interested. So, with that precedent in mind... Steve Irwin for President!

The bigger idea is to try to blend aspects from two very different cultures in a still quite limited game. This plot is very, very weak. (And the punctuation is a bit bad. You don't need to add those line breaks.) An ancient artifact? "Things get complicated?" This is about as cliché as "go kill stuff".
