...Thralni, your site does look incredibly amateurish. I mean, worse than the first incarnation of TMU. (Although admittedly, first TMU was basically a broadband-only site.)

I mean, really. What's wrong with Black on White or vice-versa?

Man. I don't know how Thuryl gets that many posts in per month- I can't find enough worthwhile stuff to respond to anymore.
(This is an exception, but threads I post in to insult usually are.)

I was always of the opinion that both were generally good people.
Furthermore, why compare them? What's there to be gained of it, when both still have unfulfilled, fundamental goals that need to be addressed?

Hell, I fostered them right until the end.
And was told that they were shocked by the events- too shocked to reward me, I suppose. (Not that any reward in this game is ever MEANINGFUL...)

Okay, screw this nonsense. In order:

「」 (These are essentially quotation marks.)

陰嚢 ("innou", scrotum)

で ("De", particle for setting/manner, indicating that the scrotum is the manner in which the verb takes place.)

遊んで ("Asonde", -te form of "asobu", to play. Te form implies an action that has been taking place and still is. The object of the verb is an implied first person. [It can also imply polite/keigo imperative, but that's not the case in this sentence.])

を ("Wo", accusative particle, indicating that "[I am] Playing with [my] scrotum" is the object of the verb.)

言いたい ("Iitai", "want to say", with first person again as the implied subject.)

が ("Ga", but)

射た ("Ita", past participle of "iru", to shoot)

いる ("iru", to be [animate])

んだ ("nda"; "da" being impolite conjugation of "desu" [copula], "n" being kansai-ben equivalent of "no"; "no desu" implies something definite and in the future.)

So:

"I want to say 'I am playing with my scrotum' but I will be shot."

Speaking of scrota, I have a present for babelfish. >8E

Holy crap. Google manages to be worse than babelfish.
Is there no way a man can simply fondle his testiclage in peace without the internet trying to interpret him?

This is not a topic for discussing ideas, it is a topic for finalizing them. Figure out what you want to do, and when you can talk with other designers when your scenario idea is ready to be finalized.

Keep in mind that there'll be a revision process, but the primary goal in this endeavor is to get scenarios written. That means that the discussions should be winding down as people actually start getting stuff done.

The old thread ("I Want to Crush Your Dreams") is getting a little cluttered. I want this one to stay as clean as possible, if only because going on tangents is the worst thing to help scenario design.

So.

All of the people who said that they wanted to design a scenario:

I want to talk with all of you. Maybe one-on-one, maybe in a chat. Regardless, I want all of you to not have a "general idea" about the scenario, but a very specific goal. I want to talk about how you will actually design it.

Let me know when you are open, and we'll start scheduling this. I wanna get this show on the road.

Erox was probably the only worthwhile bit of E3/A3.
Now if JV made an entire game like that- ie, throwing surprises and making a legitimately surreal RPG environment- I think we'd all be thrilled. But that will never happen.

Rakshasi live in another dimention, but they're native to Ermarian. (Vantanas in particular.)

(At the beginning of rakshasic history, it's roughly 500 years before the beginning of the Empire and 1000 years before Exile/Avernum.)
They're not demons- although they are a highly magical race. They used to be ruled by a group called the Skullz, led by Tigerfang (some of you may notice which other rakshasa's name this sounds like) and his assistant, the "Amalgamator". The Skullz were shattered by Olindbar, who became the first "king" of their collective-style society. They were living on Vantanas until a dragon demigod named Shale forced them into another plane of existence called Arngoth. Olindbar II managed to brutally wound Shale with his heavily enchanted equipment, but he couldn't kill Shale before Shale literally drew the sun down from the skies in a pin-pointed beam aimed at Olindbar II. (He died.)

(It's at roughly this point that the Exile/Avernum series takes place.)
The Rakshasi lived in Arngoth for a while, but during Olindbar III's infancy, some of the elite magi of the Rakshasi anonymously formed an organization called the "Black Cube", which controlled politics, magic, et cetera, and was intent on taking over all of the Rakshasic people. An anonymous mage and a cadre of magic users of a previously-unknown species battled the five magi out of Arngoth, freeing it.

Olindbar III came unto his own as his nation's leader, but soon, there were rumors that Shale had teleported into Arngoth and begun wiping out cities. Olindbar III recovered the items used by his father, but an anonymous mage tipped him in to the real nature of the problem. Deacon, his mentor in the ways of magic and close friend, had been plotting a takeover of the Rakshasic kingdom by using a massive army of golems. Olindbar III and the anonymous mage attacked Deacon, only barely winning out. Deacon fled, and the Rakshasi were safe, although Vantanas had since been rendered inhabitable due to the arrival of a new, malicious and highly lethal race called the Pheadrans.

(At this point, roughly 500 years have passed since the Exile/Avernum games.)

The Rakshasic nation has been mostly still ever since. Olindbar IV helped Katothen and his organization of Sanctuary prevent Deacon and his fledgeling organization, the Red Chaemeleon, from gaining a foothold in the Empire. (Deacon escaped. Again.)

...

The average rakshasic lifespan is long. Just like with humans, older rakshasic wizards can extend their lives by way of magic. (Deacon is, at the time of the Empire's fall, somewhere around 1.6k years old, making him one of the oldest beings on Ermarian.)

The Rakshasi seen anywhere on Ermarian are remnants from the days of the Skullz- most of them came from Rakshasi who never recognized Olindbar I as a leader, but some of them never fully realized that the Skullz were finished off. Regardless, they're totally isolated from the rest of the Rakshasic Nation, and scarcely know that it still exists, nevermind where it is or how to get to it. In other words, they're simple bandits.

Stareye's saying that not all of us have this luxury.

I, for instance, have no idea how to get some of the errors out of MA.

Heck, sometimes people tell me that Canopy is still bugging up!
