quote:Oh, cool! I guess it will be available on your website? I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Funnily enough, I haven't played Blades of Avernum for awhile...I had gotten through the scenario "Valley of Dying Things" and then I went to another scenario that removed all my characters and left one totally different character...and I had saved so I didn't know how to get my people back. So after that I got discouraged and didn't play anymore. But definitely I have to start again, especially if there's dinosaurs involved :) and there's so many good scenarios out there that (hopefully) won't mess up my game.

All I can suggest is that you keep a back-up copy of your party somewhere safe, and if the scenario intro text says that your party is going to be ruined, don't take in your favourite group of characters. :/ -------------------- Nikki's Nook - a heart on a string that's about to be cut.

Can't trust these crazy designers these days. :P On that note, I have been trying to figure out a way to temporarily reconfigure a party without permanently destroying it.

Meh. I figured that, since I was already typing out the full name, I might as well go the extra mile. Anyway, if Shadow Vale doesn't work, you might want to try the Blades Forge. I know TftTI is there as well. -------------------- Nioca's Citadel Posts: 2686 | Registered: Friday, September 8 2006 07:00 |

So Basicity original, funny and adaptable? Hum, no good idea. Except.... Well we can make a game that doesn't talk about freedom something new and elaborate? How about a deep critic about the functions of persons in a family? Like the social pressure we put on men to become the good proud saviors, women to be slavishly obedient and obligated to be self reliant and nourishing? After all the games like avernum and more peculiarly in geneforge denounce slavery and parent abusing on a higher level. That why we adolescents like jeff's games so much because it illustrate our inner battles with our parents? -------------------- You can jump off a bridge, fire a gun in your mouth, drink poison,or going in to the tiger's pit but you will still end up dead it's a mater of time and how .

I've said before in about every thread of similar discussion: a revival of the 80's RPG Omega. Whatever Jeff does though, I want a guy with a silver hammer named Maxwell. quote:I thought the chitrach queen was some sort of mutated dragon at first, I also though the prime sentinel kind of looked like paper mache (spelling?). -------------------- Decca Records - "We don't like their sound.

You know, "80's RPG" is not really the best epithet for Omega, considering that (1) the vast majority of its development and use took place in the 90's, (2) there were actually two different RPGs called Omega published in the 80's, and (3) it's far less descriptive than even "80's music" which, while poor taxonomically, at least means something to most people. — Slartucker, who is admittedly also an old game fetishist. Yesterday he spent several hours tinkering with Basilisk ][ in order to get Jewel of Arabia to run on it. He then spent several hours staring at ResCompare until he had extracted weapon damage data and clothing water consumption adjustment data from the game. It was actually quite interesting.

Ah… Jewel of Arabia… I downloaded it a while back, then only recently put it on the older computer. Now I just have to find the time to play it. Nah, I have no excuse. I just haven't felt like playing games lately. I'm in work mode. -------------------- Do not provoke the turtles.

Personally I'd like to see a sci fi rpg that isn't all anime or based on another preexisting sci fi. Posts: 13 | Registered: Sunday, February 26 2006 08:00 |

Yeah, a glowing Chitrach would have been better than that lizard, good thought the lizard graphic is for lizard monsters. Bats may be bugs, but chitrachs ain't lizards. -------------------- Listen carefully because some of your options may have changed. Posts: 3335 | Registered: Thursday, September 4 2003 07:00 |

I'm late to the party, but I don't want classes and I think the traveling system in A4/5 is great. I like being able to take a character's skill progression in any direction I want, and to change direction suddenly. I also like the continuous map. I like being able to return to places I've already been, for historical purposes or to defeat an enemy who whupped me the first time. I think that the continuous map better portrays distances and helps one feel that one has actually traveled. A sci-fi game would be nice, or a John Woo sort of modern action setting. I would also play a humor game for sure. But when Jeff reworks A1-3 I will be all over that. Posts: 67 | Registered: Thursday, March 6 2008 08:00 |

I have a screenshot from the next SW game, Galactic Core 2. At first, I thought the dead guy was Alo because of the round head, but with the hat, it clearly looks more like ET.  -------------------- Pan Lever: Seventeen apple roving mirror moiety.

If you can find a working link to the game New Centurions thats a good example of a sci fi RPG. I found it to be very fun. [ Tuesday, April 29, 2008 09:59: Message edited by: Bubb9 ] Posts: 13 | Registered: Sunday, February 26 2006 08:00 |

On the up side, though, it had fewer problems. For example, Realmz had something like 30 horribly designed classes by the end, whereas New Centurions only had 8 or so horribly designed classes. 8 out of 8, but still... -------------------- Slarty vs. Desk • Desk vs. Slarty • Timeline of Ermarian • G4 Strategy Central "Slartucker is going to have a cow when he hears about this," Synergy said.

Okay, I feel a little bad slagging on New Centurions (not a lot, but a little) since you liked it. Can I ask what you liked about it? -------------------- Pan Lever: Seventeen apple roving mirror moiety. Of turned quorum jaggedly the. Blue?
