Would you be interested in a sci fi RPG: THE POLL in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Tuesday, June 13 2006 20:13 Profile Homepage #14 The game in question. Sadly, the article does not mention the dancing wookiees. A simple Google search, however, yields terrifyingly strange results. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead.

But seriously, we get enough of a sci-fi flavor with the Vahnatai in Avernum... when used properly, that is. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead.

The next Scenerio Design Contest? in Blades of Avernum

That said, I can't bring myself to go back and re-do the work I lost until I know whether or not I actually lost it... the hard drive might be intact when I get the computer back, depending on what needs to be replaced.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Tuesday, June 13 2006 04:31 Profile Homepage #10 Alright, fine... I stand corrected. What I meant to say was that the contest probably won't surprise anybody... Kel and TM vying for first, and a bunch of honorable mentions.

The next Scenerio Design Contest? in Blades of Avernum
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Monday, June 12 2006 14:22 Profile Homepage #1 Well... thank you for sharing. The next Scenario Design Contest will be judged in November 2006, and a number of people have already complted works, with a few more scenarios in testing stages right now. And then there's a bunch of us who still have works in progress. I personally hope to at least compete with TM and Kel, but I'm relatively certain that Exodus will simply eat everything smaller than it and win by default. I don't suppose you'd actually be working on a scenario yourself? -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice. I hate undead. I really, really, really, really hate undead.

POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT Stone Pylons in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Monday, June 12 2006 14:17 Profile Homepage #1 I assume you mean the transport pylons. They're easy enough to locate, really... just poke around every single friendly town you come to. I don't really think a list would be all that necessary. But if you feel like it, go ahead. Someone will probably love it. -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games." Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Anonymity and online identity, yet again. in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Monday, June 12 2006 08:32 Profile Homepage #13 I personally don't bank on anonymity much... I mean, people here know who I am via Facebook, and I've never been one for hyperbole, which seems to be what got that unlucky blunt-smoker canned. That, and I have no gimmicks that can be perceived as harmful. Though, I expect this also hinges on how the people in question perceive their identity on the internet: whether it's an alternate personality as a means of escape from reality, or just an extension/manifestation of the person's actual identity. I identify my identity with the latter, so I feel no need to worry. It's the people who create elaborate and questionable personas that might have something to worry about. All of that said, I imagine that karma will render my Facebook account hacked wide open within a week. EDIT: Happily, a NASCAR driver with roughly the same name as me was permanently banned for substance abuse, so that's all my name turns up in Google. I just hope that there's no close relation.

Dorikas in Avernum 4
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Monday, June 12 2006 08:24 Profile Homepage #1 Please use line breaks... just for the record. quote: Originally written by Micro Phage: According to Schrodinger's walk through after defeating the Lich (Erika's Ruins) you can "hit the unusual rune to the north" and it opens a new area. I haven't been able to do this. I've won the game but Starrus isn't happy that I didn't finish off the Darkside Loyalist's. I think this has something to do with a busted chain of flags. Since Levitt won't acknowledge your wiping out the bandits/Darksiders, something in that chain of events probably just fell apart, so that it won't allow you to even try to enter the Loyalists' lair. I'm not sure what can be done to fix it, but at least you can still finish the game. quote: Originally written by Micro Phage: I noticed when using the editor that Dawdy would take all my coins and I'd still have the iron. I started the game over without the editor activated and Dawdy acted correctly, he GAVE me coins and took the iron so I kinda tried to rush to the Erika's Ruins to test the rune and it still doesn't open anything. I also installed on my other machine (XP) and have the exact symptoms there also. I have no idea what's going on with Dawdy, but I doubt it has anything to do with the problem at the Ruins. quote: Originally written by Micro Phage: Almaria is still hostile, maybe because of Houghton's early death, didn't get final quest from him... Yep... this is a well-known bug, and the only way to fix it is to upgrade, then start a new game. The game can still be completed though. quote: Originally written by Micro Phage: I can't find anything else to kill except Rentar and that will end the game! It sounds like that's all you have left to do. I personally don't know what the effects of using the editor are. Which one are you using, since I know there are several floating around right now? Contact the maker of the editor. -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games." Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Sunday, June 11 2006 13:52 Profile Homepage #12 Okay... the cave worms just seemed like a break from continuity, as did the hellhounds. I suppose we can give them a chance. I agree about the sliths and nephils, though.

The Mountain of Shadows RP in General
Ephesos Law Bringer Member # 4153	written Tuesday, June 6 2006 18:09 Profile Homepage #548 OoC: Oh, it's been a long, strange trip. But let's get this show back on the road! (For clarity, this post is starts right where Nazgul's left off) IC: Sequoia stared at the... thing. It looked human in form, but Sequoia could tell that everything human about it had passed on centuries ago. The Curator's eyes, deeply sunken into the skull, glowed a dull red, which cut through the darkness of the chamber. The druid could feel them searching for something, but he wasn't sure what, even after the Curator looked him straight in the eye. When Sequoia had entered the chamber, he had just stood there, stunned by the grisly display embedded in the walls. Then, the sight of his companions trying to pry the forgotten treasures from the black ice had nearly put the anger back in control. Now, he could only stand and choke back a spell as he stared down Orloki's unholy creation. None of the others said a word. Then Sequoia stepped forward and raised a half of his staff. "Stop buying time for your master and let us pass!" the druid bellowed. The others looked at him with looks varying between surprise, fear, and "why did you do that?". The Curator laughed. It was the kind of sound that made Sequoia want to puncture his own eardrums, something out of a dark crypt on a full moon night. Sequoia simply ground his teeth and stood his ground. "Don't worry, you will see my master soon. And rest assured that he has pondered your eventual fates for quite some time. They will be... unique," the Curator said, his grotesque face trying its best to grin. Filbert whimpered. Tuulentekija lowered his sword for a brief moment. Melora and Lisha just stared, while Edith and Cain were visibly smoldering with rage (Cain literally so). Sequoia shook with fury. "Well then, if you're all prepared, we may continue to the summit, where my master waits for you," the Curator said, gesturing to the staircase. -------------------- Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.
