This could easily be an article, were it not for its poor English.

IIRC, however, you are not a native speaker (thus making your rants coherently is a large plus). I would nevertheless suggest that you use an English spellchecker on Microsoft Word.
Rather than spending hundreds of dollars on software you don't really need, there are plenty of free spell checkers:

Unfortunately, Vent's writing suffers more from grammatical problems than spelling. Just out of curiosity, what is your native language? I can tell it's not German (I can usually recognize typical German->English idiomatic mistakes), but that's about it :)

Thanks for giving me the link, it's the right one (which I never found before, how stupid of me not to use Google), but there is no form at the page. It's just like when they're not looking for Beta testers.

Jeez, was I too late already? :(
Nah, I've been checking that page since about 10 minutes after this was posted :)

Avernum 1, 2, 3 Sound in Tech Support

Okay, I'm assuming that you can play sound normally (ie, in Winamp or Windows Media Player). First step is to run Windows Update. Be sure to install all the DirectX updates.

Next, Start -> Run -> dxdiag

Click the sound tab and then "Test DirectSound".

If the test is successful, post back here. If not, follow the troubleshooting instructions and see what you can do.

I'm 19 and also engaged, though we don't plan on getting married until probably after I finish grad school (which will be at least 5 years from now).

Ok, my first try of BoE demo fully disgusted me because of many problems in interface design. So there was no chance I play any BoE scenario.
Like what? I hated the Avernum interface/engine with a fiery passion the first time I tried it, but now I think it's okay. I still like Exile better, but I'm curious to hear exactly what problems you thought there were.

Wow. How old are you?

I've had a lot of respect for Jeff Vogel ever since I started playing his games, way back when the original version of Exile was available (before the 'graphics upgrade' - anyone else remember that?) and Exile 2 had recently come out for PC. The shareware developer's guide is awesome. That you're willing to provide free advice to potential competitors is incredible.

But just today, I discovered the The Scorched Earth Party. You are a freaking comic genius.

Move over Carl Sagan; Jeff Vogel is my new hero. IMAGE(tongue00.gif)

Seriously, I haven't bought a game from Spiderweb since BoE (didn't really like the Avernum interface), but I'm definitely buying BoA when it's available for Windows. The world needs more cool people like Jeff IMAGE(smile000.gif)

More than 2 NPC joining the party? in Blades of Avernum Editor

I'm surprised this haven't been done before and that no authors wished that already.
I dunno, having more than one or two NPCs in your party is not a very common feature in RPGs (unless you count Fallout). It wasn't available at all in BoE, IIRC.
Maybe if you gave a little more detail someone could suggest a better alternative?

BTW, what kind of transportation is it? I assume flying of some sort, otherwise replacing the graphics would work.

Why not? If you don't have a credit/debit card, well...I sent Jeff (concealed) cash back in the day to register Blades of Exile, and he seemed to be okay with it, since he sent me the floppies :)
Better yet, head to your local convenience store, Wal-Mart, etc. and get a money order.
