The Future of Blades of Avernum in Blades of Avernum Editor
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, December 9 2006 03:42 Profile Homepage #6 Understood. I don't think anyone will be pleased by this announcement, but I doubt anyone will be surprised either. Regarding A4: it's not all bad, it's just that there are a lot of things about it that are easy to make fun of. My view is that it was a (mostly) good standalone game, but a bad Avernum game. I suppose its sales figures show that most of your customers are not continuity wonks like us.

According to Jeff, "the Vahnatai will never be PCs because they're supposed to be alien and incomprehensible to humans." -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

8000: Pseudoscience Postravaganza in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Friday, December 8 2006 15:00 Profile Homepage #0 Remember how at 5000 posts I celebrated with MMMMM, in which I changed my name every day for a month to commemmorate wacky incidents of medical malpractice from throughout history? Well, this is going to be like that, only with pseudoscience. Today's name, N-Rays, are a kind of radiation that doesn't exist. A physicist at the hilariously-named University of Nancy saw an electric spark in one of his experiments that looked a little brighter than normal, and immediately decided that it must be because he'd discovered a new form of radiation. Several other researchers then claimed to see the same thing, to the point that they started arguing over who discovered it. The whole house of cards fell down when a visting researcher secretly dismantled the apparatus supposedly producing the radiation and the Nancy boys still claimed to be observing its effects. It goes to show that it's easy to find the result you want if you don't worry about little details like objective measurements.

Either a two-handed sword or two one-handed swords. Shields aren't really all that good for fighters, although bucklers are a nice extra source of defence for mages.

Jeff Vogel & BoA in Blades of Avernum
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, December 7 2006 19:59 Profile Homepage #1 He once claimed to play every BoE scenario he received to ensure it wasn't utter crap and its content wasn't inappropriate for the SW tables. He certainly doesn't have that policy now, as evidenced by what TM got away with putting in some of his G and PG-rated scenarios. Whether he still plays BoX scenarios at all, I couldn't say. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, December 7 2006 17:36 Profile Homepage #25 It occurs to me that if you want to do the numbers, it might be useful for Synergy to post the endgame stats of his Infiltrator and Slar to work out how many skill points it'd take to make a Servile with equivalent skills. If it turns out that the Servile can in fact get the same skill profile at lower cost, well, that sort of settles the debate right there. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

The Melee Warrior in Geneforge 4: Rebellion
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Wednesday, December 6 2006 16:12 Profile Homepage #19 quote: Originally written by Hume: quote: Originally written by --Slarty: In G1, melee damage does 1-8. Period. I just rechecked the scripts. Next! Strange. All weapon damage displayed are multiplies of d7. Like the guardian claymore 10-70. It is d8 in GF2 however. It's possible that Jeff goofed. There's a well-known off-by-one error in BoE monster attacks; all attacks do 1 die more damage than they're supposed to (so a 1d8 attack is treated as 2d8).
