Anyone mention Philip K. Dick? I haven't actually read many of his books, but I thought The Man in the High Tower was pretty impressive. I'm told that all Dick's books have one moment at which everything turns upside down; in that one, that moment is at the very end.

Originally written by Solid Ocean Core Souls:

—Alorael, whose favorite Avernum is A2. The plot is definitely the best through the demo, and it's still slightly better through the rest of the game. A3 suffers from generic towns and inflated damage, but if you like the engine then go with it. A1 is good, but the lack of a quest list is difficult after playing later games.

I guess that's a disadvantage of using Macs. I have no problem with multi-session CDs. In fact, I used to make them all the time to transfer drivers and game mods at lan-parties (back when we only had a 10 Mb hub). Perhaps it's just the way Macs handle CD burning.

And of course, you could just get a USB Drive, and use it to transfer files.

Oxymoron.

It is even possible to 'convert' an existing single boot system to a dual boot (or multi boot, if you so desire.) You will need to be able to use fdisk, disk druid, or some other partioning program that can split an existing partion.

Another thing I miss: The old communication system. Forcing players to come up with things to ask about was, I thought, the most ingenius aspect of the Exile trilogy that set it apart from other games. The simple "click on the conversation thread you want to start" idea is used in every other RPG out there, and isn't particularly interesting.

Although he has Elves, Dwarves, Trolls, and Gnomes, they aren't really the same as their Tolkien or D&D counterparts.

Turtledove is very imaginative in all his books, although his alternative histories are where I think he really shines.

I've read one Marco book (Eyes of God) and found it largely uninteresting and not worth the time it took to slog through. I'm willing to give him another try, but I don't have any high hopes.

Trademarked worlds always have more bad than good, and my understanding is that Dragonlance is no exception. Weiss and Hickman started out by writing what I've heard described as a great adventure that reads like an RPG log (and was, in fact, turned into a D&D campaign), but it's nothing more.

—Alorael, who feels obligated to toss another author onto the pile: Glen Cook. He managed to create a great, unique world in his first Black Company trilogy. Then he wrote another book, which was also good. Then he spewed out six more Black Company books that each fell farther from the wonderful beginning. Perhaps deciding to take a few characters from one setting and dropping them in another while losing several plot points along the way is a bad idea?
