...Avernum certainly is fun. Today I started playing it for the first time and I am enjoying it most heartily.

I decided to give it a try again and I had no trouble figuring things out this time.

My hat is off to Jeff for creating some really great games.

Hello MSW.

That has been quite some time. How are you doing ? That you are trying Avernum seems good. :)

I'm doing great. I got approved for disability insurance last month. If the Section 8 Housing people (Reduced income housing) EVER call me to set up an appointment to update my case, I'll be getting an apartment too.

I can definitely say that I should have an apartment by Fall at least.

I haven't been around for so long because I went through an anti-message board spell for about nine months. I hadn't been very active on any message boards online during that length of time. Which is why I have been absent from Polaris as well.

Can't say I have any clue why. Only now am I beginning to feel up to it again. Probably due to the impending freedom from my parents that I am looking forward to.

I think the out-of-hand problems I had with Alec had something to do with my leaving. But I'm sure it was more than that. Otherwise I would have continued going to other message boards online.

But anyways, it feels great to be back.

Doubtlessly you have seen it, but if you haven't, here is the Avernum area.

EDIT: My apologies. Welcome!

Hey, welcome back! I'm glad you've taken to Avernum once more, and it's good to see you on the forums again.

SIS, am I mistaken, or have you returned from a long absence as well? If so, welcome back. If not, I apologize for not noticing; I hope you consider your post count excuse enough.

Avernum is brilliant, but Avernum 2 is far superior.

:) Welcome back MSW! Sometimes I asked myself what happened to you, especially when there were discussions about gay matters.
The Avernum series are indeed Jeff's best invention, IMO.

Hello.

Even I remember MSW... Jeez, those were the days... And, since this isn't a post about some ridiculously high post count, I can genuinely wish you well.

Wellness has been wished. Or something.

Glad you've started playing Avernum. So have you regestered it or only played the demo?

Eh, good to see you, MSW. The last time I remember seeing you around, must've been... the time of the Around the Body... RP?

Definitely good to see you back.

In Valley of Thunder he was, and then he posted a topic about the inherent lack of Spiderweb RPs anymore or something, but anyway...

So far just the demo. If all goes well, I'll register it.

Speaking of Avernum, I haven't played that game since it first came out. That makes me want to play it again.

Aran wants to leave, but his mother won't let him back into the house in his messy clothes. Since he has no other clothes, due to his extended stay in these fora, and due to him having no money (his wallet is in his other trousers), he's stuck.

Or that's how I heard it...

Hey buddy, welcome back and stick around this time, will ya? Hearing you endorse Avernum makes me want to try it again. I doubt my opinions of it will change but it has been a few years since I gave it a shot.

That's why I've been staying here so much recetly, of course. However, around the start of this month I received a very good offer for better lodging at the Santharian forum, which is why I moved. In turn, Logalot has granted me a position of admin on Polaris, which has kept me there. There is little reason I'm here now save for nostalgia. It's like stopping smoking - one post at a time...

Of course, although posting doesn't leave thick black tar in your lungs.

As far as the scientists can tell...

As for nostalgia, get a little plaque put on your wall which reads something completely unrelated to the Spiderweb Forums, but with a little SW logo. That way, you can remember the good times without having to log in!

On topic, I recently completed Avernum, although I got little enjotyment from it. I had to pick out all bits of information about the founding of Avernum for a BoA scenario.
